Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 821 - 798 Breaking Through the Formation (1/3)
Chapter 821: Chapter 798 Breaking Through the Formation (1/3)
The Old Ancestor of the Tai Family ran over from the first light pillar, so when that light pillar disappeared, he thought of Zhou Heng immediately.
Was it that kid’s doing?
On what grounds!
Even the Bright Immortal was helpless, how could a mere Sublimation Emperor break it? Ridiculous!
But anyway, seeing that light pillar disappear, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Family was naturally happy because he could feel the power that suppressed his realm had obviously lessened a bit.
These ten light pillars were the array eyes of the great formation, once they were all destroyed, the formation would naturally be broken as well.
He was joyfully waiting for that mysterious expert to come over and continue breaking the formation, but unexpectedly, he actually awaited the arrival of Zhou Heng!
This... was both within his expectations and outside them!
When he saw Zhou Heng still carrying the aura of a Sublimation Emperor, he was naturally even more shocked because everyone here had their cultivation level suppressed to the Sublimation Sovereign! Now that a Sublimation Emperor had appeared, what did that mean?
It could obliterate everything!
Seeing Zhou Heng step by step approaching, everyone involuntarily stepped back, it was an instinctive dread when facing an "expert."
Ridiculous, a distinguished Bright Immortal actually fearing a junior Sublimation Emperor, but the situation is stronger than people, what can be done!
Zhou Heng didn’t waste words, he directly slapped the light pillar with a palm and then grinned at everyone.
Boom!
The black light pillar shattered with a roar, turning into countless fragments falling down. This spectacle also magnified the fear in everyone’s hearts to the extreme, as they stood there dumbfounded, watching the sparkling fragments fall, feeling as if Zhou Heng was a Heavenly God.
"Not running yet?" The Black Donkey yelled, borrowing the authority of a tiger to scare away the crowd.
Scared by this, everyone quickly fled, with Fang Yirong and Yang Xinghua even letting out screams as if weak girls encountered bandits at midnight.
"Hahaha!" The Black Donkey laughed, rolling on the floor. This was a tremendous sense of accomplishment, scaring away experts from the Immortal Realm, including the Bright Immortal, with just a word. How many people could achieve that?
"Donkey, they’ve all run, how are you going to rob them?" Zhou Heng laughed.
The Black Donkey’s laughter stopped suddenly, it leaped up and grabbed Zhou Heng’s neck, shouting miserably, "Why didn’t you remind me earlier, you damn kid!"
"Let’s go, to the third array eye!" Zhou Heng couldn’t afford to waste time.
"Zhou, remember to remind me to rob next time!"
"Is that all you’re capable of?"
"Pah, don’t underestimate my ambitions!"
They headed towards the third light pillar, and along the way, they inevitably encountered a few monsters. However, as two light pillars had already shattered, these monsters seemed to have weakened, as Zhou Heng didn’t encounter any from the Creation Realm.
With creatures within the Sublimation Realm, Zhou Heng didn’t even need the Five Elements Rune to easily defeat them.
After three more days, he and the Black Donkey arrived under the third black light pillar. There were also some strong ones among the Star Sea bandits here, but seeing Zhou Heng coming from afar, they had already fled.
While they shared difficulties, trusting each other was far from easy!
So-called alliances had to be built on similar strength, otherwise, it’s not an alliance but subordination!
Zhou Heng remained a Sublimation Emperor, but with the formation’s weakening, even the Black Donkey was affected, which means others were only at the Sunshine Emperor level. How could they not flee upon seeing a Sublimation Emperor?
They could well be slaughtered! And to whom would they cry injustice then?
Since Zhou Heng was sure to break the formation, they might as well avoid head-on confrontation and wait until the formation was completely broken, restoring their proper strength. Then, would they still fear a mere Sublimation Emperor?
Zhou Heng did not hesitate for a moment, striking out with a punch, the Five Elements Rune flowing, breaking another array eye.
As the black light pillars gradually disappeared, the realm suppression became slower, conversely, the monster’s power dramatically declined, now it was difficult to see any monsters at the Sublimation Realm, having all dropped to the Sunshine Realm.
When they arrived at the fourth light pillar, Zhou Heng finally encountered the Blue Dragon Empress and the Red Dragon Empress, but only those two, the Golden-haired Dragon Girl was not present.
"Huh, why are you alone?" Seeing Zhou Heng and the Black Donkey coming, the two Dragon Empresses were both surprised, as they initially thought the previous array eyes were broken by Hongyue.
Now seeing Zhou Heng striding over, they naturally sensed something was off!
But on second thought, if Hongyue really made a move, would it need to be so troublesome? Maybe with just a thought, the entire great formation would have already shattered, why run all over and exert so much effort?
Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Am I not enough alone? Are you underestimating me?"
The two Dragon Empresses glanced at each other, it’s certain, who could believe a small Sublimation Emperor could do something even the Bright Immortal couldn’t? However, they immediately thought that Hongyue might be secretly supporting Zhou Heng, and it "dawned" on them.
Zhou Heng struck with a punch, the Five Elements Rune activating, shattering the black light pillar, leaving four out of ten destroyed!
"I forgot to ask, is that golden-haired woman really your eldest sister?" As the three people and a donkey headed towards the fifth light pillar, Zhou Heng asked the two women along the way.
"Of course, do you think we would all recognize the wrong person?" The Blue Dragon Empress gave Zhou Heng a sidelong glance, "Among our five sisters, the eldest is the empress of the Golden Dragon Clan, the second sister is the empress of the Red Dragon Clan, the third sister is the empress of the Green Dragon Clan, and the youngest sister is the empress of the Black Dragon Clan!"
"Why are they all empresses? Does your Dragon Clan not have sons?" Zhou Heng asked curiously.
"Is that a problem?" The Blue Dragon Empress snorted at Zhou Heng.
"Hehe, you’re talking tough now, but don’t cry later!" Zhou Heng laughed at the Blue Dragon Empress. Was this Little Dragon Girl asking for trouble?
"Hey, hey, hey, you can flirt and squabble all you want behind closed doors, but right now let’s focus on the serious matter!" The Red Dragon Empress hurriedly said, "How do we rescue our eldest sister?"
"Where did she go? Did you lose sight of her?"
"When the formation activated, we got separated from our eldest sister, and now we don’t know where she is!" The Blue Dragon Empress said dejectedly, then immediately became murderous, "That damn False Dragon Emperor, I will make sure to pierce him through!"
Zhou Heng remained indifferent, but deep down he tended to believe that the Dragon Emperor was genuine; otherwise, how could he have found the whereabouts of the three Dragon Sovereigns? Of course, the Dragon Emperor and the one mentioned by the Blue Dragon Empress might not be the same person.
——After so much time, couldn’t there be a second, third, or even tenth Dragon Emperor?
"No worries, we just need to break this formation, and then your eldest sister will naturally appear!"
Two days later, they arrived at the foot of the fifth black light pillar.
This time, they did not encounter anyone.
Then came the sixth array eye, the seventh array eye, and they didn’t encounter anyone either.
"It seems everyone is very cautious!"
It’s quite obvious; these ten light pillars are so conspicuous, that any sudden disappearance would naturally draw attention. And thinking about it further, one might not be able to deal with these pillars, but others might, especially since cultivation levels have been weakened. Who wouldn’t be anxious?
Seeing the pillars disappear one after another, how many would dare not to flee?
Everyone had one thought: as long as they get out of this great formation, then relying on the Bright Immortal-level strength, if not invincible, they could at least manage to escape safely, and thereby regain control.
At the eighth and ninth array eyes, they likewise didn’t see anyone else.
On the thirty-fourth day after entering this great formation, Zhou Heng and the three others finally reached the last array eye of this formation; by this time, the cultivation of the Blue Dragon Empress and others had already been reduced to the Sunshine King.
——If Zhou Heng hadn’t gradually dismantled nine array eyes, slowing down the reduction of their realms, by this point, everyone’s cultivation would have already been reduced below the Immortal Position, nearly turning into pools of blood!
"After breaking this array eye, we will be able to escape!"
"Here’s the plan: you two are responsible for grabbing the Seventh Star Fruit, and I’ll deal with your eldest sister; otherwise, if I send the two of you, it would be almost like colluding with the enemy!" Zhou Heng said.
"Bah, you’re the one colluding with the enemy!"
"How is our eldest sister the enemy?" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
The two Dragon Sovereigns expressed their dissatisfaction, but Zhou Heng laughed; he’s always specialized in dealing with dissatisfaction.
Although they said this, the two Dragon Sovereigns still agreed to Zhou Heng’s arrangement because they found themselves completely restrained when facing the Golden Dragon Empress, unable to exert even half of their full strength.
As for why Zhou Heng could confront their eldest sister, wasn’t there Hongyue, a great expert of the Bright Realm?
"I’m starting now!"
Zhou Heng struck out a palm, hitting the last black light pillar of this large formation, boom boom boom, the Five Elements Runes shattered the entire light pillar with a crushing force, and countless shadow fragments fell down.
Rumble, the entire formation made a world-shaking tremor, making the space extremely unstable.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Strange noises erupted in chaos. Boom, the great formation, having lost the support of the array eyes, could no longer operate, and whoosh whoosh whoosh, everyone suddenly felt a flash before their eyes and found themselves back on the island shrouded in poisonous fog.
People were scattered sparsely across the corners of the island, but since the island was not very large, if someone could stand at a high point, they could basically see everyone.
Not everyone who entered the great formation was able to come out alive. For example, the Old Ancestor of the Ma Family was killed by Zhou Heng, and several Bright Immortals were tragically exterminated by beasts conjured by the formation after their realms were weakened, turning into essence to nourish the Seventh Star Fruit.
The sudden escape caught everyone except Zhou Heng’s group off guard; though they knew there was only one array eye left, and escape was possible at any time, when it actually happened, they were still momentarily at a loss.
However, Bright Immortals being Bright Immortals, their lives had seen great triumphs and struggles, and they quickly regained their composure.
The ones they hated the most were naturally those two Chi Wei; if it weren’t for someone "proficient" in formations who broke this large formation, they might all have turned into nourishing spring soil, ready to foster more flowers, enraged beyond measure!
"How did you, you all get out?" The two Chi Wei were utterly perplexed, how was this possible?
How could these people have escaped? (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
