Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 664 - 641: Another Dharma Aspect Slain (3/3)

The Liu Family’s Sublimation King had a resolute killing intent. Such a character, decisive in slaughter, would not hesitate any further and immediately launched a powerful attack, heading straight for Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng let out a long laugh, brandishing his sword and raising his fist to meet the onslaught.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two of them instantly engaged in an extremely intense battle.

The Sublimation King was incredibly strong, so powerful that even just a Dharma Aspect of his could crush any Sunshine Emperor! However, the situation here was particular, as every expert’s cultivation level was suppressed to that of a Sunshine King!

Outside of this place, this Sublimation King from the Liu Family could kill ten thousand Cold Frost Young Masters with a single slap, but if his realm was pressed down to a Sunshine King, it wasn’t certain that he would be more formidable than the Cold Frost Young Master!

After all, at how many Wheels Sun did he break through to become a Sunshine King back in the day?

Cold Frost Young Master and Zhou Tong were both Eleven Wheels Sunshine Kings, and although they had yet to pierce through the barrier to become Sunshine Sovereigns, they were not readily found in the Immortal Realm!

—At the level of Sunshine Kings, their invincibility was universally acknowledged—didn’t this say something!

This Sublimation King from the Liu Family had broken through to become a Sunshine Sovereign with Eight Wheels Sun in his time, hence he could only exert the strength of an Eight-Wheel Sunshine King now!

Of course, battle power and strength are not the same. He also possessed rich combat experience and a deeper understanding of the Martial Path. He would inevitably incite even greater power when casting Immortal Techniques, making it not impossible for him to compete with prodigies like the Cold Frost Young Master.

But Zhou Heng was extraordinary as well—he had previously fought a thrilling battle with the Cold Frost Young Master!

Seventy-four Minor Attack Runes were laid upon his left fist, fifty-one Minor Healing Runes operated throughout his body, and his right hand swirled the Black Sword, unleashing sword Qi filled with destructive force.

His might was unmatched!

Everyone knew that the circumstances here were special, as anyone’s strength would be confined to that of a Sunshine King, yet a mere Moonlight Emperor managed to fight indecisively with a Sublimation King’s Dharma Aspect, which still made everyone’s jaws drop!

If we talk about strength, at the least, the Dharma Aspect represents the level of a Seven Wheels Sunshine King—the absolute lowest estimate. And how terrifying was the Immortal Technique cast by the Sublimation King?

Immortal Techniques have ranks. The weaker the strength, the lower the Immortal Technique one could learn, but the stronger one is, the higher-ranked Immortal Techniques they could undoubtedly master!

Wouldn’t the Immortal Technique possessed by the Sublimation King completely outstrip the Moonlight Emperor by several streets?

But despite the complete overwhelming in strength, Immortal Techniques, and experience, the Liu Family’s Sublimation King still couldn’t gain a decisive advantage—how could people accept this?

One could fight evenly with the Cold Frost Young Master. That’s not something that can be simply bragged about!

Onlookers sighed with emotion. It seems that this Sublimation King from the Liu Family was about to humiliate himself this time. To fight to a standstill with a Moonlight Emperor—wouldn’t that be enough to make people laugh their heads off if the news got out?

Others won’t take into account the peculiarity of the Imperial Dragon Hall; they would only remember the word "draw!"

He was doomed to carry such shame for the rest of his life!

...

Zhou Heng, being in the heat of battle, felt this most acutely.

This Sublimation King was not as formidable as the Cold Frost Young Master!

In this place, no matter how impressive your cultivation is, it’s useless since it’s suppressed to a Sunshine King. And in this era, there were only the Cold Frost Young Master and four other peerless prodigies who swept through their peers. One can imagine how few from the previous generations at the level of Sunshine King could compete with these five!

Among them, there was decidedly no place for this Liu Family’s Sublimation King!

However, an Eight-Wheel Sunshine King was after all an Eight-Wheel Sunshine King. Paired with the profound Immortal Techniques, this Sublimation King’s battle power was only a tad less than that of the Cold Frost Young Master, still possessing the strength to completely overpower Zhou Heng!

Zhou Heng’s flesh was already torn and his Divine Bone constantly shattered; if not for the boon of the Minor Healing Runes, he would have long been ground to a pulp!

If this continued, he would be defeated!

Zhou Heng said in his heart, the last time he managed to fight evenly with the Cold Frost Young Master was because the latter didn’t want to reveal his trump cards in front of a rival. But this Sublimation King from the Liu Family was different; he didn’t need to care!

The Dharma Aspect of this Sublimation King might have its realm suppressed, but his Spiritual Power was endless and inexhaustible, ideal for prolonged battles far surpassing Zhou Heng!

Even if the fight dragged on for three days and nights, the opponent’s battle power would surely not diminish one bit, while Zhou Heng’s situation was different. He had to fully drive two shattered Minor Runes at the same time, causing excessive drain rate!

One day, or even half a day, was his limit!

A glint of cold light twinkled in Zhou Heng’s eyes. If he were to lose, it would spell death!

There was no way out!

What trump card should he use?

The Fire Divine Furnace?

No. The Fire Divine Furnace could only be used once more; he needed to keep it as a deterrent!

Sky-soaring Nine Forms?

If he used one strike from it, his Spiritual Power would be drained, equating to a do-or-die situation. But what if it couldn’t slay the opponent?

Right, the fragment of that Treasure Artifact!

Zhou Heng had an epiphany. Although the Treasure Artifact fragment had lost much of its power, the terrifying pressure it contained could utterly catch a Sublimation King off guard and leave him mentally unguarded!

As they were now barely "equals" in their battle, if he could seize a slight opportunity, the opponent would be done for!

He decided to act!

He took out the Fire Divine Furnace, but didn’t immediately uncover the lid; he had to wait for the best opportunity.

"Die!" The Sublimation King from the Liu Family felt a burning sensation on his face, being so long unable to subdue a Moonlight Emperor was simply a slap in the face! He unleashed Wonderful Techniques frequently, but unfortunately, with the realm’s constraint, their might had drastically diminished by billions of times; otherwise, a mere fluctuation of power could crush Zhou Heng into a million fragments!

"Not necessarily!" Zhou Heng’s expression was calm, and although he was at a disadvantage, he showed no sign of panic. He was searching for the most suitable opportunity!

"Ha-ha, if I want you dead, then you can only die!" The Sublimation King from the Liu Family had completely suppressed Zhou Heng. Although it was impossible to kill Zhou Heng outright in a short period, his energy was endless and without flaw, ensuring that he could wear down this young king to death!

It was a pity that such a supreme being did not come from their Liu Family, otherwise they would surely have a day when they would dominate Juexian City!

"Boasting is not a good habit, old man. You’d better come to your senses first!" Zhou Heng swung the Black Sword repeatedly, with each strike of Sword Qi roaring like an ink dragon.

The Sublimation King from the Liu Family almost exploded with rage—who was boasting? It was this brat, all right! He was none other than a Sublimation King, and in another place, he could crush Zhou Heng like a plaything! He turned his anger into battle power, his hands moving in a dance, as Immortal Techniques flowed from them.

He wanted to accelerate the consumption of Zhou Heng’s Spiritual Power!

"Seize that man and donkey for me!" he commanded.

Despicable!

The bystanders were all saying that this was a clear attempt to disturb Zhou Heng’s mind!

For a Sublimation King to resort to such mean tricks against a Moonlight Emperor, it was truly shameless!

But on reflection, if Zhou Heng could be killed, who would criticize the Sublimation King over a Moonlight Emperor? A Moonlight Emperor was supposed to be crushed under the finger of a Sublimation King—this was mere play!

Zhou Heng’s eyes flashed fiercely, and he suddenly slapped the Fire Divine Furnace. With a tragic scream from the furnace, the lid was popped open, and pieces of the Treasure Artifact flew out!

The hum!

Instantly, a terrifying aura crushed everything in its path. Not just an insignificant Sunshine King, even a Creation King might be shaken to the core!

The powerful being of the Liu Family was undoubtedly a Sublimation King, but in the presence of these Treasure Artifact shards, he showed a sluggishness that should never have appeared!

Zhou Heng’s sword moves swept forth, a formidable killing initiative!

"Pu!"

The head of the Liu Family’s Sublimation King had already flown off the neck, but not even a drop of blood spurted out—this was merely a Dharma Aspect made entirely of Spiritual Power. But after being struck at a vital point by the Black Sword, this Dharma Aspect immediately shattered!

"Ahh!" At the same time, far beyond this continent, on a massive star ship, an old man suddenly leapt up, his eyes filled with murderous intent and rage.

"Old Ancestor, what happened?" someone immediately pushed the door open, shouting in alarm.

The old man said nothing, but the pressure in his eyes was mountainous. The person who had entered fell to the ground on the spot, and even as a Sunshine Emperor, he started to crack all over under the old man’s pressure, blood pouring out!

One of his own Dharma Aspects in the Imperial Dragon Hall had been destroyed!

Although his true body was unharmed, his Cultivation Level had been forcibly reduced by an entire Rank!

He was originally a Seven-Aspect Sublimation King, nearly breaking the limit to attain Eight Dharma Aspects, but the annihilation of this one Dharma Aspect meant that his thousands of years of arduous cultivation became futile!

How could he not be furious?

Moreover, the key issue was that with the restrictions of the Imperial Dragon Hall, he couldn’t perceive what the Dharma Aspect had seen and heard, meaning he had no idea how his Dharma Aspect was destroyed!

If his Dharma Aspect was gone, then other family members might also be unable to escape being silenced, right?

Who the real culprit was would be impossible to ascertain now!

Deploy another Dharma Aspect? He was frightened! What if he suffered another loss?

The old man, driven to fury, let out a ferocious howl. The sound wave spread, reaching at least a dozen nearby star ships clearly, leaving many peers of the same Realm wondering what grievous loss the Liu Family’s Sublimation King had suffered, for he sounded as mournful as if he had been defiled a hundred times.

...

Back on the continent.

The Liu Family’s men had not yet stepped out before they saw their Heavenly God, their Old Ancestor, beheaded by Zhou Heng’s single sword stroke!

They stopped dead in their tracks, feeling as if the sky and earth were collapsing!

The Dharma Aspect of the Sublimation King was slain just like that!

Boom!

The fluctuations of the shattered Immortal Artifact rolled in, and they were naturally unable to resist, all toppling down. Their willpower was certainly weaker, and they couldn’t withstand this Artifact that once stood high above!

Zhou Heng, his killing intent already kindled, naturally would not show mercy anymore. Wherever his figure passed, a spray of blood spurted!

Not one of the Liu Family was left alive!

This conflict had been completely unnecessary, yet was born of pride, culminating in a massacre.

Such is the cruel and unreasonable nature of the Immortal Realm. Those who cannot adapt must quickly find a desolate backwater to reside in!

Zhou Heng put away the Black Sword and turned his gaze to the other groups by the lake. His eyes swept across them, and none dared to meet his gaze!

"Donkey, you and this girl go catch the Silver Spirit Fish. I am going to enter seclusion!" he declared.

"Huh? You’re entering seclusion at this time?" Black Donkey appeared incredulous.

Zhou Heng nodded. He had just slaughtered extensively, and the Black Sword had absorbed enough Life Essence Qi. Not only could he reach the limit of the Twenty-One Wheels Moon, but he could also attack the realm of Sunshine King!

As long as he became a Sunshine King, he should be able to crush everything! With the mighty example of his slaying of the Sublimation King’s Dharma Aspect to intimidate others, who would dare to strike at him? Entering seclusion at this time seemed risky, but in reality, there would be no danger. (To be continued.
