Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 665 - 642: Breakthrough Sunshine King (1/3)

Black Donkey and Bing Xiulan were both gleefully fishing.

One was naturally greedy for treasures, while the other was a model of playfulness. Together, a man and a donkey laughed heartily by the lake.

The lake water was still untouchable, extremely viscous, and once touched, it was like being bound hand and foot, making it even more impossible to catch the Silver Dragon Fish—how these Silver Dragon Fish could move so flexibly in such sticky water was a mystery.

Black Donkey even tried to scoop up the lake water, but its stickiness was to the extreme. After much effort, it could only scoop up a small clump of liquid. To dry up the lake this way would take decades, if not impossible!

And wouldn’t this lake water be replenished?

This approach was utterly hopeless!

Zhou Heng paid no attention to these antics. He simply sat down behind them, beginning the refinement of the Life Essence Qi within Black Sword.

The more carefree he appeared, the more uncertain others became, daring not to make a move against him.

Hadn’t the Liu Family already made a move? And what was the result?

A bloody example was right before their eyes, who wouldn’t think twice before acting!

Spiritual Power flowed through his body, and the twentieth Crescent Moon grew rapidly, from Waning Moon to Half Moon and then to Full Moon, almost in one breath!

Unfortunately, the Sublimation King of the Liu Family was just a Dharma Aspect, which contained no Life Essence Qi. However, he had slain two other Sunshine Kings, and that was enough.

Suddenly, his body shook slightly, and the Twenty-One Wheels Moon appeared!

It grew rapidly, with the final Moon Wheel visibly expanding to its Full Moon state in no time!

He had reached the limit!

Sunshine King, open your gates before me!

Zhou Heng roared in his heart. He lacked neither Realm comprehension nor pressure.

He took out the fragment of the Treasure Artifact, releasing terrifying fluctuations around him. Zhou Heng purposely suppressed the effect of Black Sword, letting himself experience firsthand just how frightful this pressure was!

His fighting spirit first plummeted but then soared back up, burning brightly as he resisted the pressure he should have been utterly incapable of enduring.

As he continued to suppress Black Sword bit by bit, Zhou Heng was pushed to the limit, like a tightly wound string, on the verge of snapping at any moment!

If it did snap, it could mean an eternal downfall for Zhou Heng!

But this didn’t frighten him; instead, it made his fighting spirit shine even brighter. Now this was interesting!

Three days later, he reached a critical point.

Either he would cross it, or he would fall back!

Zhou Heng’s consciousness roared within his Inner World; he would definitely make it over! He must!

Transitioning from Moonlight Realm to Sunshine King required compressing all the Moon Wheels into one and then forming a Sun Wheel—a completely new transformation.

Twenty-One Wheels Moon granted Zhou Heng the terrifying Battle Power to utterly crush any Martial Artist of the same Realm and even to reverse-slay foes a Great Realm higher, but to gain such power, there was a price to pay.

—Merging Twenty-One Wheels Moon was incredibly difficult!

Previously, a minor Realm breakthrough only required the unification of Seven Wheels, but now it was Twenty-One Wheels.

With each additional Wheel, the difficulty increased exponentially. In the history of the Immortal Realm, there had never been anyone with Twenty-One Wheels Moon, let alone someone who had broken through to Sunshine King!

Merge!

Zhou Heng had no other thoughts. Twenty-One Full Moon Wheels oscillated in his Dantian World, bobbing up and down.

Merge! Merge! Merge!

This kind of merging was not about mere brute strength. The Moon Wheels themselves were as hard as Immortal Artifacts, and crushing them to merge was no easy feat.

This was an understanding of the Dao, a kind of comprehension.

Zhou Heng’s consciousness gradually calmed, his insight being the most fearsome aspect.

Revelations flickered in his heart, and his whole body radiated Golden Light, with the Rune on the top of his head seeming to come alive, emitting weak but inexplicable breaths.

As such, the people around could see everything clearly.

What’s this guy up to?

Cultivation? Breakthrough? Here?

Curiosity flickered in everyone’s hearts. If Zhou Heng was truly overcoming a difficult challenge, then attacking him now would yield great results! But who would be so foolish as to attempt a breakthrough in such a place?

It must be a trap!

It had to be a trap!

To lure them into attacking, then find an excuse to retaliate and plunder their treasures!

So cunning!

But after figuring this out, how could they fall for it?

Go on, shimmer with your golden light, who cares!

Everyone continued fishing; after all, Dragon Transformation Nine Slashes was still a legend. Whether it existed was uncertain, and even if it did, the chance of obtaining it was slim. The Silver Dragon Fish before them were a much more concrete catch!

This strange phenomenon lasted for a whole day before it suddenly vanished without a trace.

Heh, they thought we’d fall for it and left, huh?

Everyone sneered inwardly, spitting dismissively—did they think they were fools?

Zhou Heng, however, had taken an important step. In his Inner World, the Twenty-One Wheels Moon gradually softened, as if melted by fire, turning into lumps of muddy clay.

Removing the dross and retaining the essence, he merged these "clay lumps" into one large "dough," then squeezed and compacted it.

The first step, Moon Merging!

The "dough" kept shrinking, reforming into a full moon, its cold moonlight scattering about, with streams of golden divine light and an indescribable supreme aura revolving around it.

The rune at the top of Zhou Heng’s head continued to shine, and the six hundred-plus shattered minor runes inside his body also danced in unison, miraculously combining together—elevating the healing minor runes to sixty-seven and the attacking minor runes to a staggering ninety-two!

At this moment, Zhou Heng was one with heaven and earth, in resonance with the Great Dao, and the Blood River Heavenly Scripture also advanced by a great leap under such a conjunction.

Finally, the full moon took complete shape—despite being a bright white moon, it radiated a golden glow!

The first step was a success, and what followed was the second and more crucial step!

Capturing Sunshine!

Zhou Heng’s body brimmed with radiance, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit gathered to an extreme, the divine bones in his body vibrated, emitting the song of the Dao that brought grand realizations to those who heard it, and could even directly transform them into ashes!

"Not good, this guy is really making a breakthrough!"

"We’ve been fooled!"

"He’s about to break through to become a Sunshine King!"

It was only then that everyone realized, much to their shock, that someone could be so audacious as to attempt a breakthrough in such a perilous place!

It was ridiculous—they had previously thought Zhou Heng had laid a trap and were self-congratulatory for not falling for it! They hadn’t expected the emptiness to be real, and that Zhou Heng had used such psychology to their disadvantage, causing them to stumble!

Should they make a move now?

The crowd hesitated, for Zhou Heng had not yet completed his breakthrough, and attacking him now would have a high likelihood of killing him!

But what if the opponent completed his breakthrough at this moment?

That fellow was so domineering as the Moonlight Emperor; what would happen once he broke through to become a Sunshine King?

Moreover, they had no grievances with Zhou Heng, so was it really worth the risk? Killing Zhou Heng should be the task of people like One Sword Breaks the Heavens and Tian Gangyue, what did it have to do with them?

Here, Cultivation Level was suppressed, making Zhou Heng and Wu Qi seem especially dominant, but outside, their Cultivation wouldn’t amount to much. Even without mentioning the Sublimation King, even the Sunshine Emperor could utterly crush them!

Thinking this way, not a single person made a move.

There was no benefit in killing Zhou Heng, and no one wanted to offend the Zhou Family, which could possibly be related to the Eternal Evil Venerate!

Zhou Heng’s body trembled as a red dot emerged within!

The Sun Wheel!

Sunshine King!

He had broken through!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Nature’s spiritual energy rushed towards him—despite this being the void of space, strands of spiritual energy rose from the ground, crazily surging towards Zhou Heng’s body—this red dot swiftly rounded out, forming a blazing fireball.

A One Wheel Sun was born!

Boom, another red dot appeared!

Previously a Twenty-One Wheels Moon Emperor, his breakthrough had been incredibly difficult, but once he had taken that step, his potential was fully unleashed, terrifyingly astonishing!

Two Wheels Sun! Three Wheels Sun! Four Wheels Sun!

Nine Wheels Sun!

Just as when he broke through to become the Moonlight King, he now possessed Nine Wheels Sun upon breaking through to the Sunshine King. Even among talented Sunshine Kings, this was already enough to immediately advance to the next Realm.

But for Zhou Heng, this was just the beginning!

Zoom, he opened his eyes—within his left was a golden divine moon, and in his right was a One Wheel Sun, the moon and sun shining in tandem. Nine Wheels Sun uncontrollably appeared behind him, releasing a terrifying wave of energy, boom, boom, boom, shaking the ground.

This guy had made a breakthrough!

Everyone was taken aback. It had been just a few days, and this fellow had completed a breakthrough of a Great Realm!

An absolute monster!

Thank goodness they hadn’t acted earlier. How many among them could have contended with a Nine Wheels Sun King? Damn it, a Nine Wheels Sun King—how could this be! They had never heard of anyone possessing Nine Wheels Sun upon a breakthrough!

Was he defying the heavens?

They were going to be utterly crushed by his strength alone, not to mention that this guy also possessed formidable Immortal Techniques!

"Zhou, you’ve already broken through?" Black Donkey blinked its large eyes, looking quite dissatisfied.

It had originally thought that it was advancing rapidly, capable of catching up and surpassing Zhou Heng in no time, only to be left behind by him once again.

Zhou Heng laughed loudly, attributing his quick breakthrough mainly to the Kings Pill he had consumed before. He patted Black Donkey on the shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, I guarantee you’ll have your fill of Silver Dragon Fish here!"

"You said it!"

"Mm!"

Bing Xiulan also peered over, her face filled with shock as she said, "Future brother-in-law, you really are amazing!" She paused, as if feeling that those words were not sufficient, and added, "Even more amazing than my sister—when she broke through to become a Sunshine King, it took her a whole month!"

The revelation that Zhou Heng had taken only four days was simply astonishing!

But when those around heard this, they were again frozen stiff!

Many Sunshine Kings were among them, and even if they weren’t, they had certainly witnessed others in their clans breaking through to become Sunshine Kings. This process, even for geniuses, required several years, and one month... although not as monstrous as Zhou Heng, it was still enough to be called a monster!

What sort of people were these?

Compared to them, who would still have confidence?

Zhou Heng was also slightly moved; Bing Xiulan had used the words "in those days," implying that her sister might have already surpassed the Sunshine King stage! Curiosity gripped him, and he asked, "What is your sister’s Cultivation Level?"

"Just so-so, she reached the Sublimation King in four thousand years, which is really distressing!" Bing Xiulan said with a shrug of her shoulders.

Boom! Once more, everyone around them collapsed into a heap. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Starting Point (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com).
