Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 728 - 705: Zhou Yuhe’s Breakthrough (1/3)

"Is it you, the Demon Girl, who persuaded Heng’er to do this? I will strike—" Zhou Yuhe was about to burst into anger, but Huo Tian just gave him a cold glare, immediately shutting him up.

Zhou Shanyi and the others all snickered; the old man had been put in his place!

They knew the moment they first saw Huo Tian that this woman was unfathomable and terrifying, but it was only when Huo Tian showed slight anger that they could feel the tremendous oppressive force contained within this Peerless Heavenly Maiden!

Even their spines felt like they were about to be crushed!

"Are you ready?" Huo Tian turned to Zhou Heng, her voice softening.

This made the five elders feel jealous at heart. Why so fierce towards them? Alas, Zhou Heng was truly fortunate, having been charmed by such a peerlessly beautiful and noble-mannered wife!

However, as long as she was the Zhou Family’s daughter-in-law, that was fine by them!

"Come!" Zhou Heng nodded. The runes on his forehead were beyond his control and would counter any attack. If he tried to forcibly pry them off, it would only shatter his hands.

Only Huo Tian could accomplish this because the runes were inherited from this peerless maiden.

Huo Tian’s expression turned solemn, her jade hand reached out, and a pink radiance flowed from her body, transforming into a giant peach blossom that enveloped her, Zhou Heng, and Zhou Yuhe.

No matter that Zhou Shanyi and the others were at the level of Creation Kings, their Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate it!

"Little Heng has found a remarkable wife indeed!"

"Though her Cultivation Level is only that of a Moonlight King, why does it feel stronger than the pressure of a Great Emperor!"

"But won’t Little Heng be bullied by this wife?"

"Possibly, her aura is too strong for Little Heng to handle!"

Leaving aside the sudden gossiping nature of these four old men, within the light screen obscured by the peach blossom, Zhou Heng and Zhou Yuhe were both sitting cross-legged, backs to each other, and at this point, Zhou Yuhe had no say in the matter.

Huo Tian’s hand penetrated Zheng Heng’s forehead, and her other hand reached into Zhou Yuhe’s skull.

This scene, if viewed by outsiders, would be shocking enough to make their eyeballs fall out—a mere Moonlight King could penetrate the defenses of a Sunshine Emperor and a Creation King?

But that was the reality; Huo Tian’s abilities were not represented by her Realm!

Her palm rested upon Zhou Heng’s top of the head; the incomplete runes immediately burst into a golden radiance, showing affection towards Huo Tian, yet with considerable wariness.

"Eh, why’s that so?" Huo Tian was astonished. The runes should see her as their mother; how could they be cautious around her?

Moreover, her runes were pink. How could they have been assimilated into gold by Zhou Heng?

Her Cultivation Level might not be high, but the level of her runes were far beyond the grade of a Creation Emperor. How could they possibly be assimilated by Zhou Heng? They even became independent and no longer recognized her as "mother."

If she made a move, the runes would attack her, no doubt about it!

Interesting!

This junior brother of hers seemed to hold secrets even she had not fully understood!

Thinking this, Huo Tian remained undaunted. Even though the runes had been assimilated by Zhou Heng, they were too severely damaged to be her match. Her palm moved downwards, glowing runes on her finger bones suppressing the incomplete rune.

How could an incomplete rune be a match for complete ones? Moreover, how many bones are there on a palm? Huo Tian had a complete rune on every finger bone!

It must be suppressed!

With a clasp of her jade hand, Zhou Heng’s entire top of the head was plucked off by her, using her body as a medium; it appeared directly in her other hand and merged with Zhou Yuhe’s top of the head.

Universe fading, Eternal loneliness!

Zhou Yuhe trembled greatly. In an instant, he witnessed the mysteries of heaven and earth, especially the broken pattern on his forehead that gave him a supreme feeling, as if it were a portal to Immortal Realm, leading to a whole new world.

He wasn’t even aware when Huo Tian had retracted her hand. Endless mysteries of heaven and earth churned in his Sea of Consciousness, something he had always been desperately searching for but never attained.

To learn of the way in the morning and die in the evening would have been enough!

Zhou Yuhe was in such a state, completely forgetting everything, immersed in the comprehension of the way.

Injury of the Great Way? How could an injury at the level of a Creation King be considered anything in the presence of runes!

Zhou Heng also circulated his Essence Blood, regenerating his Skull, but without any runes remaining.

Though he had lost a powerful amulet, he felt a release throughout his entire body.

The rune was not his own enlightenment but was forcefully given to him by Huo Tian. To his body, it was a complete foreign object, a huge burden, and with its departure, he felt a weight lifted.

To anyone else, this rune was a treasure, containing the highest principles of the Great Way, even more profound than the Blood River Heavenly Scripture. But Zhou Heng had never lacked comprehension; he always viewed the rune as a life-saving last resort.

Without the rune, he had lost a means of protecting his life. That’s all.

He could completely afford this price—for the sake of his family! Moreover, with the rune protecting his body, he would develop reliance on it, unable to push himself to the limit and fully tap into his potential.

Whether the loss of this rune was a loss or gain was hard to say.

Huo Tian dismissed the peach blossom light screen, her figure flashing as she entered the Immortal Residence. She truly regarded no one else in her eyes, with no one in the world worthy of her attention besides Zhou Heng!

--Her consideration for the other women was also because of Zhou Heng.

"Zhou Heng, how are you?" Zhou Shanyi and the other three Eternal Kings all came over, their faces full of concern.

"I’m fine, Ancestor Yuhe should be fine too!" Zhou Heng said, his tone revealing a hint of weakness, after all, he had lost a piece of his skull.

The four Old Ancestors looked over Zhou Heng from left to right, repeatedly confirming there were no significant losses, and then instructed him to rest well while they waited beside Zhou Yuhe, hoping the Old Ancestor would awaken.

This wait lasted for seven days and nights!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

On the eighth day, the entire valley’s ground seemed to boil like the surface of water, constantly trembling and undulating, with a piercing wind echoing through the air, oppressively heavy.

Whoosh!

Nature’s spiritual energy gathered, swirling towards a certain spot at the valley’s center, as if a gigantic beast greedily inhaled the spiritual energy of the world.

Zhou Heng was all too familiar with this, someone was about to break through!

And with such a commotion, it was definitely beyond the level of the Sublimation Realm.

It’s Zhou Yuhe!

He had truly managed to rebuild after breaking down, the failure to impact the Creation Sovereign but having gained the rune from Zhou Heng’s forehead had given him enough understanding! And Zhou Yuhe was already a step away from the Creation Sovereign, now with a glimpse into the secrets of the universe, the gates to becoming a Creation Sovereign naturally opened to him right away.

Everyone came out of the Immortal Residence, as Ancestor Yuhe’s breakthrough was imminent, a joyous and top-priority event for the Zhou Family, naturally attracting everyone’s attention!

Zhou Heng watched from the sidelines, yet he felt somewhat puzzled, as this was only Noon Immortal City, which theoretically could only support the cultivation of a Sunshine Emperor; the density of spiritual energy was not sufficient to support a breakthrough for an Eternal King.

But how did Zhou Yuhe manage it?

"He learned the Heavenly Scripture!" Huo Tian said softly beside him.

What!

Zhou Heng was slightly startled but soon realized, no wonder the Great Eternal Emperor could cause havoc in Juexian City, eventually being suppressed but not killed!

The Heavenly Scripture is a treasure nurtured by the universe, not only capable of inheriting the secrets of heaven and earth but also a Treasure Artifact in itself! Yet, it remains unclear which Heavenly Scripture the Great Eternal Emperor had acquired.

"Something is odd!" Huo Tian’s brows slightly furrowed, "The level of Heavenly Scripture they have learned is not high; it must be that what the Great Eternal Emperor acquired in the Mortal Realm, but due to some special reason, the level of the Heavenly Scripture was elevated!"

"That can happen?" Zhou Heng asked in surprise.

"I understand now, it’s because of your bloodline!" Huo Tian’s eyes brightened, "The rune I passed to you changed significantly after being implanted in your body, and this is because of your bloodline!"

Zhou Heng remained silent, but he knew that Huo Tian’s guess was most likely correct, because whether it was the Blood River Heavenly Scripture or the corner rune he had just lost, it turned golden yellow in his body.

Although it was just a minor change, how could the Heavenly Scripture, being such an existence, be easily altered?

This was overriding heaven and earth!

If such changes also happened to other members of the Zhou Family, then it must be explained by the Zhou Family’s bloodline!

But who exactly was the Zhou Family’s Old Ancestor, so formidable that he could even influence the Heavenly Scripture?

It definitely wasn’t the Great Eternal Emperor!

Because the Great Eternal Emperor had at most advanced to being a Creation Emperor and could only barely grasp the Heavenly Scripture, how could he possibly change it?

There must have been a more formidable figure in the history of the Zhou Family!

"Interesting!" Huo Tian showed a contemplative look, "I think, the Black Sword choosing you might not be a coincidence!"

Boom!

Just then, a figure shot into the sky with a fearsome momentum that swept across, almost affecting the entire North Wu City!

"Ancestor Yuhe!" everyone exclaimed.

In the sky, a figure stood proudly alone, his white hair dancing wildly in the strong wind, his tall stature and imposing presence solid as a mountain, radiating an aura both demonic and divine!

Zhou Yuhe had finally ascended to become a Creation Sovereign!

And not just a regular Creation Sovereign; he had practiced a Heavenly Scripture from the Mortal Realm, which due to special reasons, was in no way inferior in the Immortal Realm, comparable to the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, endowing the Zhou Family with the potential to crush warriors of the same realm!

Previously, he also received a rune from Zhou Heng, inherited from Huo Tian, of an even higher and more terrifying level! ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Together, these factors caused his battle power to skyrocket!

Capable of fighting a Creation Emperor!

Buzz!

The Blue Dragon Empress appeared at some point, pressured by Zhou Yuhe’s imposing aura, her own aura rising steadily, her expression transitioning from innocent mischief to a cold and heroic demeanor.

Gigantic auras burst from her, challenging Zhou Yuhe in the sky.

She had once again transformed into the Blue Dragon Empress! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
