Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 725 - 702
Chapter 725: 702
In the Immortal Realm, the disparity in realms certainly results in overwhelming battle power, unless one is as monstrously talented as Zhou Heng!
Lian Yuanchang was nowhere near that level of monstrous talent, so he was only fit to be beaten up.
The people of the Zhou Family loved to use their fists, and not even the women were an exception to this rule. Zhou Ningning was pummeling him with her fists, her absolute dominance in realm meant he couldn’t even think about escaping or fighting back!
Just like how he had previously used his spiritual power to seal Zhou Heng, he had no chance of escaping from Zhou Ningning’s grasp!
But she was even more domineering, grabbing him and beating him mercilessly. The moment he tried to escape, she would drag him back, and after receiving a few punches, his consciousness became disordered. How could he have the strength to run away?
Dominating!
Those surrounding them were all watching with their eyes wide and tongues tied, feeling that the development of the situation was incredibly dramatic.
Earlier in the day, Zhou Heng was definitely seen as a supporting character. What could a mere Sunshine King amount to in front of a Sublimation King? But, against all odds, he showed formidable strength, cutting down two Sublimation Kings, to the shock of everyone present.
And when Lian Yuanchang arrived, everyone thought that now that the Sublimation Emperor was here, he would certainly suppress Zhou Heng, right? However, they did not expect that Zhou Heng was not alone; he had someone even more ferocious by his side!
Fighting with the younger will inevitably provoke the elder. The Lian Family had backing, but how could Zhou Heng not have any?
Sublimation Emperor!
Even if the entire Lian Family’s experts came forth, how could they be a match for a Sublimation Emperor? Now, not only was Lian Yuanchang doomed, the distant Lian Family was also fated to be dragged into this mess.
"That’s for bullying my grandson!"
"Feels good to bully the young, does it?"
"Well, this old lady is going to let you have your fill!"
"Why aren’t you shouting? Shout! I’m not satisfied if you don’t shout. Hurry up and scream for this grandma!"
Zhou Ningning continued to curse as she beat him. This grandma was absolutely fierce, speaking in a manner not at all like a woman, but more like a pervert bullying a young girl. Zhou Heng and Zhou Tong both pretended not to know her and turned their heads away.
But who dares to laugh at the outburst of a Sublimation Emperor?
Eventually, Lian Yuanchang failed to hold on much longer and was beaten to death, his body and spirit completely annihilated, with even his divine aspects destroyed!
With this, the battle with the Lian Family finally came to an end.
"What are you looking at? Keep staring and I’ll scoop out your eyeballs!" Zhou Ningning saw that the crowd was still lingering around for the excitement and gave them a fierce look with her beautiful eyes, scaring them into hurriedly scattering like birds and beasts.
This was a Sublimation Emperor, after all, a terrifying entity!
"Let’s go, we’re heading back to Copper Heart Valley!" Zhou Ningning said decisively, grabbing Zhou Tong with her left hand and Zhou Heng with her right, and with a push of her feet, her delicate body soared into the sky and vanished from everyone’s sight in an instant.
The location of the Zhou Family still had to remain a secret, not to be known to others.
North Wu City’s gravity seemed non-existent to a Sublimation Emperor; Zhou Ningning’s speed was incredibly fast. The Zhou Family had produced a monstrosity like the Great Eternal Emperor, and the movement techniques passed down, even if not quite on par with Swift Cloud Radiant Step, were not much inferior.
Within just about ten minutes, they arrived at a valley not too far from Three Swords Mountain.
This was Copper Heart Valley, the place of refuge for the Great Eternal Emperor’s lineage in their Immortal Residence.
"Everyone, come out—Zhou Heng is here!" Zhou Ningning released her hands and immediately called out loudly.
Hustle and bustle ensued as dozens of figures jumped out from the valley, each radiating a fearsome aura. The weakest among them was in the Sunshine Realm, while the rest were all in the Sublimation Realm, ranging from Sublimation Kings to Sublimation Emperors.
Creak, the doors of several wooden houses in the valley opened, and out came a few even more powerful beings.
Creation Realm!
Zhou Heng had grown familiar with experts of the Creation Realm and immediately sensed the level of terrifying power exuding from these figures, a powerfulness that made one’s heart tremble.
"Let me introduce them to you. This one is Ancestor Wen Qian, this one is Ancestor Shan Yi, this one is Ancestor East Sea, and this is Ancestor Lu Yang!" Zhou Ningning first introduced the figures from the Creation Realm to Zhou Heng.
"Zhou Heng pays respects to the four Ancestors!" Zhou Heng quickly gave his salutations. He did not fear the Creation Realm, but these four were the elders of the Zhou Family, and propriety demanded respect.
"No need for formalities!" the four Creation Realm experts all smiled kindly, exuding a warm and jovial manner, without any pretense. They were delighted at the reunion with the remnants of their family line in the Mortal Realm.
The bloodline of the Great Eternal Emperor in the Immortal Realm was not exactly thriving. This was due to the difficulty in childbearing among Immortals, as well as because the main line of the Zhou Family was being hunted down by Juexian City, with some family members having fallen in battle.
Everyone present was an elder to Zhou Heng, and how many generations removed they were was beyond calculation. Since Zhou Heng addressed Zhou Tong as a peer, they would consider that his generation as well. There were only two others of the same generation: aside from Zhou Tong, there was Zhou Yanran.
She was a woman of outstanding talent, just a thousand years old but already a Eleven Wheels Sunshine Emperor. She originally could have made the breakthrough to Sublimation King, but she deliberately suppressed her cultivation level, aiming for the Eleven Wheels Sun to further tap into her potential.
However, Zhou Yanran did not come out to welcome Zhou Heng, as she was in the critical stage of striving for the Eleven Wheels Sun, having been in seclusion for three months.
Zhou Heng ordered all the women and the Black Donkey to come out of the Immortal Residence, and the valley was suddenly filled with a chorus of beautiful women, a dazzling array that made the Zhou Family people’s heads spin.
"Hmm!" When they saw the Blue Dragon Empress, the four Creation Realm Experts grunted at the same time, showing expressions of intense surprise.
The stronger someone was, the more they could sense the terrifying power hidden within this haughty Queen!
Even though they couldn’t discern the depth of the Blue Dragon Empress’s strength, the Super Creation Realm aura still made them instinctively shudder. This had nothing to do with fear; it was a martial artist’s innate response to a formidable Expert.
They had already learned of the Blue Dragon Empress’s background from Zhou Tong, but seeing her in person was another matter entirely, inevitably leading to amazement at the fact that such a fearsome figure was actually following Zhou Heng.
But what baffled them even more was Huo Tian!
This Peerless Heavenly Maiden was clearly at the Moonlight King level, yet she gave them an even more dangerous feeling, exuding a supreme aura that made their very souls tremble.
Listening to Zhou Heng talk about his experiences these days, especially the fact that the Lian Family were actually using the Mysterious Yin Physique for cultivation, made everyone from the old Zhou Family furious. Zhou Ningning let out a long howl, declaring, "This grandma is going to exterminate the Lian Family!"
And with that, she quickly left the valley, and surprisingly, no one from the Zhou Family tried to dissuade her; it seemed that this wasn’t the first time the old dame had embarked on such fiery slaughter.
Zhou Heng originally intended to send those with the Mysterious Yin Physique back from the Immortal Residence, but this task was taken up by the other members of the old Zhou Family, who insisted he had just returned "home" and should not be running around again.
Zhou Tong was dispatched to handle it!
With his junior status, Zhou Tong had no right to refuse and could only pinch his nose and run the errand.
Only a few thatch huts were built in the valley, but nearly everyone had an Immortal Residence and didn’t need to worry about having nowhere to stay. Zhou Tong had already moved those with the Mysterious Yin Physique to his own Immortal Residence and didn’t need to borrow Zhou Heng’s.
That night, Zhou Heng and the women received a grand welcome before returning to the Immortal Residence.
Why did their man appear smaller again?
All the women sighed with disappointment, but fortunately, although his size had reduced, the key parts were still the same size, relieving everyone. Xiao Huoshui, the most roguish of all, commented, "Want to try whether it’s just for looks or if it still works?" which started a dizzying night of passion.
In the morning, Zhou Heng climbed out from the fragrant bodies of the women, his gaze brushing across squashed breasts and snowy, arched buttocks — he almost lay back down.
He promptly repressed his desire, stepping aside to refine the Life Essence Qi inside the Black Sword.
This time, although he had only absorbed the Life Essence Qi of two people, both were Sublimation Kings, abounding in powerful energy, which had allowed his twenty-one Wheels’ Sun to reach a state of perfect completion.
Next, he would compress the twenty-one Wheels and form his Dharma Aspect.
But first, he needed to understand the Dharma Aspect.
This was easy; Copper Heart Valley was filled with Sublimation Realm Experts, even comprised of four Creation Kings, any of whom could clarify his doubts.
He immediately left the Immortal Residence to seek guidance, unashamed to ask when he didn’t understand.
Boom!
Just then, a muffled crash shook the earth, and a figure burst forth from the mountainside, plunging to the ground in a white dress stained with fresh blood.
"Yanran!" Several Sublimation Kings from the Zhou Family, who were meditating with closed eyes in the valley, cried out in alarm upon noticing the commotion and rushed over.
Was this woman Zhou Yanran? Wasn’t she in the midst of breaking through to the Eleven Wheels Sun? Right, she must have suffered cultivation deviation!
Zhou Heng quickly ran over as well.
The Zhou Family, with few offspring, cherished every younger member. Creation King Zhou Shanyi personally examined Zhou Yanran’s pulse, and after a long while with furrowed brows, he declared, "The child was too hasty and damaged her foundation; it’s very troublesome!"
If even a Creation King spoke of trouble, it was clear how dire Zhou Yanran’s condition was.
"Ancestor Shan Yi, you must have a way, right?" everyone inquired urgently.
"This kind of injury requires a Seventh Grade Pill, the ’Purple Heart Pill,’ to heal!" Zhou Shanyi said with a slight frown, "I must leave immediately; Yanran’s injuries cannot be delayed, otherwise she will fall from her Realm and never have a chance at the Sublimation Realm in her lifetime!"
Everyone was somber at his words.
A Seventh Grade Pill required at least a Seven Stars Pharmacist to refine, and even they might not be able to do it because Pill Recipes, like Peerless Techniques, were usually not casually taught to outsiders.
Moreover, there was the issue of the Pill Success Rate, and Zhou Yanran’s injuries could not wait. For the sake of certainty, it was better to find an Eight or even Nine Stars Pharmacist to refine the Pill, lest all materials be used without producing the desired Pill, which would be a terrible waste!
However, the old Zhou Family was being hunted by Juexian City; it was one thing to move in Low-Tier Immortal Cities, but going to a high-tier Immortal City... might have severe consequences. After all, Zhou Yuhe was still in closed-door cultivation aiming for the Creation Sovereign title, which could not be disturbed!
It was a delicate situation, but one that had to be addressed. The old Zhou Family never abandoned their own!
"Well, I shall handle the refining of the Purple Heart Pill!" A voice suddenly rang out, filled with immense confidence.
All eyes collectively turned toward Zhou Heng.
