Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 744 - 721 Defeat! (2/3)

"Go!" Gongyang Taisun roared, and all the azure light immediately surged towards Zhou Heng, transforming into various plants and tall trees, turning the entire arena into a world of green.

Zhou Heng held the Black Sword flat with his right hand, gently swinging it.

Break!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wherever the Sword Qi went, the azure light immediately dimmed. After all, the Black Sword was filled with destructive power. Moreover, Zhou Heng had now gained a peripheral understanding and grasped another method of using the Heavenly Scripture, hadn’t he?

Since he understood how to utilize it, he naturally knew how to break it!

Perhaps relying on his own power was not enough, but with the Black Sword, it was completely easy to do!

The azure glow quickly dissipated, and Gongyang Taisun furrowed his brow, as if he was a dog biting a hedgehog, utterly at a loss of where to bite.

Zhou Heng slightly smiled and said, "Is this the extent of your capabilities? Too boring. I might as well end this dull fight and go count the betting money!"

"Don’t think you have won!" Gongyang Taisun barked out. The Azure Cloud Sword moved as if flying, and he unleashed all his peerless techniques. He had originally not wanted to use these trump cards, as they were intended for opponents like Bing Xinzhu and the other two peerless geniuses. After all, which among such geniuses like them wouldn’t have several ace techniques up their sleeve?

But if he didn’t use them now, he would lose to Zhou Heng!

Lose? He utterly refused to accept defeat!

With a thought, the Black Sword suddenly shone with a golden light. Zhou Heng finally applied the Runes from the Blood River Heavenly Scripture onto the Black Sword—this world probably had only a few Immortal Artifacts that could withstand the might of the Heavenly Scripture.

The Starry Sky Sword Technique, unleash!

A universe emerges, a universe disappears, sword raises, clouds move, aiming to slash the heavens!

The Sword Qi swept across, the dark light mingled with golden Divine Light. Even a Sublimation Sovereign, how could he not be instantly slain upon contact!

Gongyang Taisun defended using the Azure Cloud Sword, but currently the top-ranking Immortal Artifact of the Immortal Realm was suppressed to the point of losing all brightness, its azure Sword Qi shattered upon meeting the black Sword Qi.

To outsiders, it was clearly visible that at least ninety percent of the arena space was dominated by the black Sword Qi, with Gongyang Taisun barely holding on in that remaining ten percent.

The disparity in strength seemed already blatantly clear!

Of course, perhaps Gongyang Taisun could still fight from disadvantage, unleashing a terrifyingly powerful peerless technique to turn defeat into victory, but from the current situation, he was in such a disadvantageous position that it couldn’t get much worse.

Hiss, who could have expected this!

Zhou Heng, not only a Holy Pharmacist but his achievements in the Martial Path were dazzlingly brilliant!

Regarding Zhou Heng, basically every major family had collected his information, although some periods were missing, it did not hinder their understanding of Zhou Heng’s talents and personality.

—This guy must have slayed countless geniuses stronger than himself!

Yet those so-called geniuses were merely ordinary; which of them could compare to the giants of Juexian City? Figures like Bing Xinzhu and Gongyang Taisun, in any Realm, could easily crush other peers of the same Realm!

Therefore, Zhou Heng’s impressive record had not caught much attention until now—

A true peerless genius!

To fight and win against Martial Artists of a higher Realm was something a genius ought to do indeed; otherwise, how could they be called peerless? However, to fight and win against peerless geniuses of a higher Realm, that was truly terrifying!

A master of both Pills and Martial Arts, a dual peerless prodigy!

Could the history of the Immortal Realm be about to witness a Holy Pharmacist who is also a Super Creation Emperor, and not just any, but the king among them, such a domineering and unrivaled figure?

The crowd murmured in amazement, but the most surprised among them was Dongguo Heng. He clearly knew that Zhou Heng had acquired the Starry Sky Sword Technique just a few days ago, and within these few days, Zhou Heng had completely mastered the essence of the Sword Technique. This kid’s comprehension was simply frighteningly amazing!

No wonder he could achieve such great success in both pills and martial arts at such a young age!

"Brother Dugu, things are looking bad!" Gongyang Luo said, pulling at his beard in agitation. His son was at a clear disadvantage, and he wished he could substitute himself to fight Zhou Heng desperately.

Of course, the idea of two Holy Pharmacists brawling with fists would indeed be the joke of the Immortal Realm.

Dugu Xuan’s expression was also solemn. Zhou Heng’s comprehension had frightened him, and he knew too well that Zhou Heng had mastered another Heavenly Scripture. If Zhou Heng were given enough time to grow, he would quickly reach the realm of a Creation Emperor!

This point was beyond doubt. This kid had ascended to the Immortal Realm for only two or three years but had already traveled a path that took countless geniuses thousands, even tens of thousands of years. He had broken into the Sublimation King Realm!

If he maintained this rate of progress, in at most ten years he could become a Creation Emperor!

At that time, who in the world could control him?

Dugu Xuan reckoned that when he was at the Sublimation King level, he had only fought Gongyang Taisun to a standstill, but Zhou Heng not only could suppress Gongyang Taisun but also did so as a Nine Aspects Sublimation King, which meant there was a realm’s power difference!

If Zhou Heng reached Creation Emperor, perhaps even he couldn’t suppress him! And once the opponent stepped over that threshold... Who in the world could be his match?

Though Dugu Xuan wore the title of top expert of the Immortal Realm, he knew that among the major families, there were no lack of supreme experts, some slightly weaker than him but certainly capable of fighting. Only, these people were too low-key, all engrossed in seclusion and intent on breakthroughs!

But if Zhou Heng were to reach Super Creation Emperor, then he would truly be invincible under the heavens!

Such a genius... must not be given room to grow!

A flicker of cold light flashed in Dugu Xuan’s eyes. He had already intended to kill Zhou Heng and seize the Heavenly Scripture, and now seeing Zhou Heng’s terrifying potential for growth, his murderous intent had flared uncontrollably.

To kill a Holy Pharmacist in public would definitely cause an uproar in the Immortal Realm, but... so what!

He was a Super Creation Emperor. At worst, he would just take the Heavenly Scripture and flee into the void. Once he had integrated Zhou Heng’s Heavenly Scripture, with the power of two Heavenly Scriptures in his control, who else in the entire Immortal Realm would be his match?

Truly invincible!

"Brother Gongyang, I’ve long said that Taisun had it too easy, which is detrimental to his growth. Facing this setback is good, it will temper his spirit and truly stabilize him," Dugu Xuan said indifferently.

At his level, he could kill completely unnoticed, never showing any emotion.

Gongyang Luo was too anxious and continued to forcefully tug at his beard.

In the arena, Gongyang Taisun had reached a dead end. Peerless Techniques burst forth from his hands, each one eliciting gasps of astonishment, but they were all futile in front of the Black Sword!

Overcoming skill with brute force, a heavy sword without edge!

No matter how dazzling or mystical, I suppress it all with a single sword!

The destructive Sword Qi was indestructible, utterly obliterating everything!

Gongyang Taisun had nowhere to retreat!

Behind him was the wall of the arena, and all around him was a dark maelstrom of Sword Qi!

This, in Juexian City, was one of the universally acknowledged top four Sublimation Kings at a supreme crisis, and his opponent was merely a Nine Aspects Sublimation King. It was utterly inconceivable!

Had one not witnessed it with their own eyes, who could believe it?

The people around were whispering to each other, expressing their astonishment. Normally, a battle of Sublimation Kings wouldn’t cause a ripple in Juexian City, but what can one do when both fighters are geniuses, destined to stand among the top experts in the future!

Bing Xinzhu’s face was extremely solemn. She had never feared Gongyang Taisun, confident she was a notch stronger than him, but only just a notch. She could never suppress him as dominantly as Zhou Heng!

If she were in Gongyang Taisun’s position... her heart couldn’t help but shudder.

All geniuses are proud, believing themselves invincible. But what about now?

She was at a loss, for the first time falling into a state of indecision.

"I will not be defeated!" Gongyang Taisun shouted, his heart hardening as he shattered a Dharma Aspect which then fragmented into countless points of light, merging into his body!

Destroying his Dharma Aspect to temporarily boost his battle power!

Hum, Gongyang Taisun’s aura surged tremendously, yet it was useless. It was immediately suppressed back down by Zhou Heng’s aura, still only able to muster about the same level of power as Zhou Heng.

—Unless he truly broke through to Sublimation Sovereign, no matter if his power increased a hundredfold, it was useless; the essence hadn’t changed, always suppressed by Zhou Heng!

Zhou Heng’s aura of suppression was based on realm, not strength!

In other words, Gongyang Taisun had destroyed a Dharma Aspect in vain, which didn’t help the situation at all!

Gongyang Taisun clearly hadn’t expected this, his face suddenly twitching rapidly!

His father was a Holy Pharmacist, normally bolstered by countless precious medicines. It didn’t take long to accumulate enough Spiritual Power to form a Dharma Aspect, but even so, it would still take decades!

How could he afford to fall behind in his competition with Bing Xinzhu and other top talents by decades? Even a few years could see him lagging far behind!

To think that making such a huge sacrifice had been utterly pointless!

How could he accept this?

Burst again!

Gongyang Taisun was now in a frenzied state of red eyes, having never been defeated in his life. Seen as a genius by all, he absolutely could not accept defeat, especially to someone of a lower realm!

"Enough!" Just at that moment, a figure flashed by, and Dugu Xuan appeared in the middle of the arena. Formation of a Creation Emperor level posed no effect against him; this is what it meant to be a Super Creation Emperor.

"Master!" Gongyang Taisun immediately looked shamefaced; he had embarrassed Dugu Xuan.

"No one is undefeated. I myself was defeated seventeen times in the early years. Yet, it was those seventeen defeats that eventually led me to stand as number one in the Immortal Realm!" Dugu Xuan consoled, his voice not loud but filled with penetrating power, reaching every corner of the arena.

On one hand, he was comforting his disciple, but on the other, he was warning everyone else. Who dares to look down on my disciple? I am the foremost in the Immortal Realm—try and provoke me!

Dominance!

In the vast Juexian City, were there any experts brave enough to challenge Dugu Xuan?

Huo Tian’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as she said to the Blue Dragon Empress, "Junior brother is in some trouble, help him out later!" (To be continued.
