Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 813 - 790: Ten Absolute Heaven-Exterminating Array (2/3)
Chapter 813: Chapter 790: Ten Absolute Heaven-Exterminating Array (2/3)
The Golden-haired Dragon Girl was cold and ruthless, her long spear swirling, the dragon’s shadow roaring!
She was inherently stronger than both the Blue Dragon Empress and the Red Dragon Empress, and now with these two women full of concerns, unable to unleash even half of their full battle power, how could they possibly be a match for the Golden-haired Dragon Girl?
They were continuously oppressed and pushed back, able only to emit enraged dragon roars.
"Kaka, people should almost be here!" At this moment, a Chi Wei suddenly spoke, a dragon claw materializing and pressing a point on the platform.
Instantly, with a loud rumble, the entire island started to tremble violently, countless rays of light emerging to form a giant dome, enclosing everyone within it.
"Fools, your greed will lead to your doom, a lifetime of cultivation will serve as our wedding dress!" another Chi Wei chimed in.
"This is the Ten Absolute Heaven-Exterminating Array, anyone entering will see their cultivation level gradually weakened, from Creation Emperor to Creation Sovereign, from Creation Sovereign to Creation King!"
"Then fall to the Sublimation Realm, Sunshine Realm, Moonlight Realm!"
"Eventually, turn into mortals, ground to flesh and blood by the array, their life essence drawn out to nourish this Seven Stars fruit, ultimately sanctifying it for us to consume and ascend to the Bright Realm!"
"Hahaha, a bunch of fools, thank you all!"
The two Chi Weis laughed heartily, but before anyone could react, numerous rays of light swirled around, separating them from each other.
Zhou Heng grabbed the Black Donkey, responding to change with constancy. Although the Chi Weis spoke so, how could he completely trust them? Besides, there was nothing he could do at the moment, the overwhelming brilliance stung his eyes, forcing him to close them to temporarily avoid the sharp glare.
When he opened his eyes again, the scene before him had completely transformed.
This was a forest of black swords, each sword a hundred zhang long, stabbing into the ground, their chilling blades exuding a murderous aura, causing even Zhou Heng, with his level of cultivation and temperament, to feel a sense of trembling.
At his level, feelings like fear were already difficult to arise; the sensation he felt wasn’t fear but rather an awareness of the terrifying sword edge.
This was no longer the original island. Even if the two Chi Weis had super space artifacts, it would be utterly impossible to instantaneously set up so many things on the island.
Heaven and earth shift!
This was the Ten Absolute Heaven-Exterminating Array, what lay before might be an illusion, but it could also be a special space within the formation.
At least on this point, the Chi Weis weren’t lying; this was indeed a formation!
He tried to float up, to stand at a vantage point for clarity, but found he could only rise to a height of one zhang, beyond which an indescribable force prevented him from ascending further.
Yet, if he leapt, he could break through this height limit, but in the space above one zhang, he still couldn’t maintain levitation, and the height he could leap decreased significantly, until upon reaching the height of one zhang again, he regained control over his body.
He extended his hand, breaking through the one zhang limitation effortlessly with his right hand.
This wasn’t about force but suppression by the laws!
Formation, formation, aren’t they essentially laws?
Zhou Heng pondered, his right hand already circulating the Five Elements Rune, and as he extended his hand again, hum, a massive rune appeared in the sky, lightly touching the Five Elements Rune.
Boom!
The entire island shook violently, space quivering unstably, as if on the brink of shattering.
But after a brief tremor, the great array quickly calmed down.
Zhou Heng tried again, but this time, three massive runes emerged, pressing down on him, and with a thud, he fell heavily from the sky, crashing right onto the Black Donkey who was gazing up.
"Donkey Lady—" the Black Donkey screamed miserably.
He rolled over and got up, glancing down to see that the Black Donkey had fainted from the impact.
The poor donkey!
Zhou Heng looked up at the sky, a glimmer of understanding forming in his heart.
This formation indeed utilized the power of laws, which is why the two Chi Weis dared to arrogantly claim they’d refine everyone into blood to nourish that Seven Stars fruit. For a Bright Immortal, laws are an unfathomable existence, and this great array really could grind them into essence!
—For Immortal Realm martial artists to touch upon the laws, there’s only one way, and that’s to cultivate the Heavenly Scripture!
But how many volumes of Heavenly Scripture could there be in a realm? Moreover, the Heavenly Scripture from the Mortal Realm is obviously not high enough standard! It must be the Heavenly Scripture from the Immortal Realm!
Zhou Heng carefully recalled, the rune manifesting on this formation was already quite complete, surpassing his grasp of the Five Elements Rune!
Of course, this completeness is relative, compared to the Immortal Realm Heavenly Scripture, against Huo Tian’s runes, the completeness of this rune falls far short! But Huo Tian is a super expert from the Bright Realm, whereas this is a formation set up in the Immortal Realm, surely it can’t be expected to compare with Huo Tian?
Actually, setting up such a formation here is absolutely terrifying. To break through it, you need to have fully mastered a Heavenly Scripture from the Immortal Realm!
But the current issue is, he’s still short of more than twenty Broken Runes to reach perfection!
Once he reaches this extent, the destructive power increases by tons with each additional Broken Rune. The power of the original Five Elements Rune has already exceeded his limit. If he fails even once during the attempt, he will be shattered to pieces!
Zhou Heng couldn’t help but shiver. This is practically no different from suicide!
But since the runes have appeared, relying on the Red Dragon Empress as a Bright Immortal to break the formation is basically impossible. It’s not that it can’t be broken by brute force, but the power of the Immortal Realm is clearly insufficient. It must break through to the Stellar Realm.
Laws and power are not absolutely restrictive in relation.
It’s like when a Bright Immortal who has completely mastered the Heavenly Scripture faces a Stellar Realm expert—who will win? Of course, it’s the Stellar Realm expert because the power overwhelms the broken laws! But if you let a Stellar Realm expert face Huo Tian, then Huo Tian will absolutely win without suspense!
Because the laws she masters are more complete!
Power has layers, and laws have degrees of completeness; you can’t say power always overwhelms laws or that laws are always stronger than power. It depends on the strength of the power and the completeness of the laws.
But fortunately, speaking of the completeness of laws, there’s a super big shot from the Bright Realm in his Immortal Residence!
Though Zhou Heng doesn’t want to trouble Hongyue, if time drags on, everyone’s cultivation level will regress to that of mortals and be directly refined away—no matter if he likes the Blue Dragon Empress or not, since she’s become his wife, he must take good care of her.
But in the next second, Zhou Heng showed an astonished expression.
Because the Immortal Residence wouldn’t open!
An unknown force prevented his divine sense from entering.
Yet another law!
Zhou Heng frowned deeply. He believed that if Hongyue wanted to come out, this level of law seal would be a piece of cake for her. But the key is, this master is healing right now. Would she spontaneously decide to come out?
Putting hope in such uncertainty is absolutely unreliable!
Then he could only move forward, find the Blue Dragon Empress and the Red Dragon Empress before further thinking.
"Zhou, do you have a grudge against me? With so many people, why aim at me?" The Black Donkey groaned, having come back to life.
The seven men and two women below had been together from the beginning, so after the formation opened, they weren’t far apart, but at this moment, like Zhou Heng, they were each observing this unfamiliar world, showing different expressions.
Zhou Heng laughed heartily and said, "It shows your Five Elements are messing around, you deserve it!"
"Woof, I’m going to fight you to the death!" The Black Donkey lunged at Zhou Heng.
"Everyone, everyone, please calm down and listen to me!" said a young Sublimation Emperor. He motioned for everyone to quiet down, and once he had their attention, he continued, "This place is perilous and unpredictable, so I suggest we stay put and signal for our families’ elders to find us!"
Hearing this, several people nodded in agreement. This place was too eerie, inciting their caution. But they were full of confidence in their elders. How could any Bright Immortal be stopped?
Zhou Heng shook his head. He had mastered the Chaos Heavenly Scripture and was even clearer than the Blue Dragon Empress about the terrifying power of this great formation!
In the past, both the Blue Dragon Empress and Red Dragon Empress were suppressed by a Super Creation Emperor-level formation for over three million years, let alone now with a complete set of runes—the Immortal Realm’s complete runes!
This was akin to confronting a Bright Immortal who had fully mastered the Immortal Realm Heavenly Scripture. Who could match them within the same realm?
"Let’s go!" Zhou Heng grabbed the Black Donkey and stepped forward decisively.
"Hey, didn’t you hear what I just said?" Seeing Zhou Heng about to leave after his speech, the young Sublimation Emperor, Ju Huayi, felt infuriated.
Named Ju Huayi, he had become an Eleventh Aspect Sublimation Emperor at only thirty thousand years old. Pairing this age with such cultivation level made him terrifyingly talented! A genius naturally tends to arrogance, and with beauties present, he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to impress them, hoping to awe those two heavenly women!
Marriage alliances among the noble families of the Star Sea were very common, as noble families often had grudges and conflicts. The wider the network, the more the family could ensure its longevity!
Otherwise, isolated, encountering seven or eight families of equal strength joining forces would mean swift death!
In Ju Huayi’s view, the best candidates for marriage alliance were naturally Fang Yirong and Yang Xinghua, so he was eager to impress, demonstrating his style flamboyantly.
Zhou Heng gave him a faint look and said, "You have the right to speak, and I have the right to listen or not, so just mind your own business!"
"Friend, a fist only exerts the greatest battle power when it’s clenched tight, don’t you even understand this?" Ju Huayi said in a condescending manner.
Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "Whether I go or not is my freedom; are you forcing me to stay?"
"You can’t leave!" Ju Huayi said coldly, "You’ll thank me in the future!" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
