Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

Wu Dong snorted coldly, flicked his long sword, and a piercing Sword Qi immediately shot towards Zhou Heng.

Although he appeared disdainful towards Zhou Heng, he did not take his opponent lightly when he made his move! Because what others did not know, he was well aware that Zhou Heng had once clashed head-on with a flame monster.

Since Zhou Heng did not die from that strike, it indicated that the opponent had some strength!

He was arrogant and proud, but he never underestimated an opponent!

Zhou Heng, intrigued by his swordsmanship, casually wielded the Black Sword to meet the attack, keen to witness the true brilliance of his Swordsmanship.

Their Sword Qis collided, causing immense destructive power that left deep gouges on the ground, stunning the onlookers into speechlessness!

They had originally assumed Wu Dong would win hands down, but they had not expected Zhou Heng’s strength to be so formidable; he was evenly matched in their fierce exchanges.

Who on earth is this guy!

Besides the five young powerhouse Sovereigns of the Sunshine Kings and the newly rising Wu Dong, there was now another genius capable of rivaling them!

My God, how could it be that so many monster-level talents have emerged in the same era?

This is either a golden age or a chaotic era that brings forth an abundance of geniuses!

But who exactly is Zhou Heng? It’s impossible for an exceptional genius to emerge out of nowhere! Figures like One Sword Breaks the Heavens, Little Overlord, and Thorn Blood Rose are known to everyone, yet Zhou Heng could not match up with any of them.

How very strange!

Even Wu Dong grew increasingly alarmed as they fought. He might not have put forth his full effort just yet, but he had still summoned about eighty percent of his Battle Power—which should have been enough to crush an Eight-Wheel Sunshine King hundreds of times over!

Yet Zhou Heng remained composed and at ease, as if he still had plenty of fight left in him!

Who is this kid?

His heart was filled with intense doubt, but unless that opponent was one of the five great young Supreme beings, he would never allow himself to be defeated by any other peer! He had to win; he must win!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

He went all out; the Nine Wheels Sun spun into action simultaneously, and his sword strokes grew ever more dense.

Zhou Heng also deployed his Nine Wheels Sun, because, without utilizing any Immortal Technique or putting forth his full strength, there was no way to withstand the onslaught.

Another Nine-Wheel Sunshine King!

Although the crowd had watched for a long time and guessed as much, seeing it with their own eyes still sent shivers down their spines!

Could it really be that a great era is upon us when such outstanding geniuses are emerging all at once?

But they grew even more curious: where had Zhou Heng come from? A genius like him should have made a name for himself in the Moonlight Realm and be well-known throughout the Immortal City!

"Eh, he kind of looks like that Zhou Heng I saw once in a Message Transmitting Stone!"

"Zhou Heng? Are you joking! Zhou Heng is just a Moonlight Emperor, whereas he is a Nine-Wheel Sunshine King!"

"Haha, who can jump from Moonlight Emperor to Nine-Wheel Sunshine King in just a month? If someone could do that, I’d eat all the stones here!"

"He can’t be Zhou Heng... maybe he is from Juexian City, where it’s not surprising to see even the most powerful geniuses emerging!"

"Makes sense! This person is probably from Juexian City!"

The crowd agreed with each other, coming to a consensus that Zhou Heng must be from a prominent family in Juexian City and had come here for tempering.

The Black Donkey, with keen ears, immediately laughed so hard that he rolled on the ground, then stood up and loudly proclaimed: "Let me introduce you all, this kid is the mount of Donkey Master, a follower of mine, with the surname Zhou and given name Heng; just a few days ago he advanced to Sunshine King under my guidance!"

Is it really Zhou Heng?

Everyone was shocked because this donkey was obviously with Zhou Heng, and what powerful figure would pretend to be weaker than they were?

Since the Black Donkey said so, then this mysterious prodigy might well be Zhou Heng!

"Sss, the Eternal Evil Venerate! That Zhou Heng, Zhou Tong, must both be descendants of the Eternal Evil Venerate!"

"Apart from Juexian City, only the lineage of the Eternal Evil Venerate could produce such heaven-defying talented descendants!"

"But to go from Moonlight Emperor to Nine-Wheel Sunshine King in just a month... isn’t that a bit too heaven-defying?"

"Maybe he was already a Sunshine King before and just exaggerated then, claiming he was a Moonlight Emperor!"

"That makes sense!"

People always prefer to believe explanations they can understand and accept, so everyone chose to believe that Zhou Heng had already broken through to Sunshine King earlier, which allowed them to feel somewhat balanced. Otherwise... would they not feel ashamed enough to consider suicide?

"Shadow Shatter Slash!" Wu Dong bellowed, the long sword in his hand trembled eerily, veins bulging on his forehead and sweat pouring out, as he unleashed a powerful Immortal Technique. This sword Qi was indestructible and held the immense force capable of tearing through the void.

—He wouldn’t be able to defeat Zhou Heng without a trump card, a realization he had come to.

This sword could even shatter shadows; it was the Shadow Shatter Slash!

The Sword Qi struck!

Zhou Heng sighed. Wu Dong’s strength was not bad among his peers, but far from enough to be his opponent! He never fought against those of the same Realm unless they could suppress him in terms of Realm; only then would they be fit to battle him!

He extended his left hand and reached out to grab the Sword Qi hurtling towards him.

Madness!

Witnessing this scene, the crowd all thought the same to themselves.

Wu Dong’s previous strike had severed the arm of a flame monster; that monster was gifted and nearly invincible with a body of flame, but it still could not withstand Wu Dong’s sword, which proved how powerful that strike was!

Zhou Heng actually met the attack with nothing but his bare palm—how incredibly arrogant!

In the Immortal Realm, arrogance is rarely a good thing. One day, it will be the death of you!

And now, it seemed that day had come early!

"Hahaha!" Wu Dong sneered, overflowing with confidence in his strike. Not only was he sure to sever Zhou Heng’s palm, but even his whole body would be cleaved in two!

Zhou Heng reached out nonchalantly, and with a buzz, his left hand tightened, grasping a Sword Qi! No matter how much the Sword Qi struggled, it was futile—it couldn’t escape his grip!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Everyone’s tongues were hanging out in disbelief—unbelievable!

—How monstrously strong had this guy’s body become?

What a monster!

When Zhou Heng’s left hand clenched tighter, the Sword Qi instantly shattered with a buzz.

In response, Wu Dong trembled, his face turning deathly pale in an instant; opening his mouth, he violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

His mind was connected to the Sword Qi, and its destruction meant he too suffered no light injury.

At this point, the winner was self-evident!

Zhou Heng was far too powerful compared to Wu Dong!

His opponent shouldn’t have been a Nine Wheels Sunshine King, or even a Ten Wheels Sunshine King, but rather an Eleven Wheels or Twelve Wheels Sunshine King who had broken through the boundaries of their realm!

The true young Supreme, the real embodiment of invincibility!

Next to Zhou Heng, Wu Dong immediately became nothing more than a footnote, serving only to highlight Zhou Heng’s strength.

"Who on earth are you?" Wu Dong wiped the blood from his mouth, unable to accept losing to a nobody.

"You’re not worthy of knowing!" Zhou Heng’s eyes blazed with killing intent.

He strode towards Wu Dong, carrying the momentum of that previous strike, emitting a terrifying aura as if he could crush everything in his path.

Wu Dong retreated step by step, his aura diminished and unable to contend with Zhou Heng any longer. He wanted fame, to surpass his cousin who always loomed over him, but he never intended to pay with his life for it.

But under the pull of their auras, he didn’t dare turn and run at full speed, for that would invite Zhou Heng’s full-powered strike!

One retreated, the other advanced, yet Zhou Heng’s speed was just that bit faster than Wu Dong’s, steadily reducing the distance between them.

Ten zhang, eight zhang, three zhang!

When the distance narrowed to just one zhang, panic flickered in Wu Dong’s eyes. They were so close now, close enough for Zhou Heng to unleash his mightiest blow!

A cornered beast still fights!

Wu Dong’s neck couldn’t get any cleaner even if he washed it, but he certainly wasn’t ready to stick it out for Zhou Heng to slaughter!

"Die!" He burst forth with all his power, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit soaring to their peak in an instant, unleashing the most resplendent strike of his life; a sword flash pressed down, and the whole mountain seemed to dip, the flames fiercely receding.

In a desperate fight for survival, this was a sword strike sublimated by extreme pressure, one Wu Dong might not be able to replicate even within the next ten years.

Zhou Heng, completely unfazed, still reached out with his left hand, as Minor Runes swirled in his palm!

Clang!

He caught Wu Dong’s falling sword, squeezed hard, and with a crisp sound, the precious sword was forcibly crushed into countless glittering fragments!

Before Wu Dong could react, Zhou Heng’s Black Sword thrust out with his right hand!

Wu Dong incredulously stared at the blade piercing his left chest. But before a thought could form, his body collapsed with a boom, and blood gushed out, his life extinguished!

A genius who could have potentially become a Supreme thus perished!

The crowd was unable to even breathe out loud, feeling stiff all over, their scalps tingling, and goosebumps rising as if their blood was running in reverse.

To kill a genius as if slaughtering a dog!

So powerful, so dominant!

Thinking back to their previous underestimation of Zhou Heng, everyone secretly felt ashamed. The limits of such a genius were far beyond their imaginations, and even if One Sword Breaks the Heavens and Cold Frost Young Master were there, could they halt Zhou Heng’s ascent?

The crowd dispersed one by one, giving Zhou Heng a wide berth as a sign of respect.

Among them were Sunshine Sovereigns, and even Sunshine Emperors, but in this place, only the Supreme Sunshine King was the one true king!

Zhou Heng nonchalantly tossed the stone in his hand to Black Donkey, saying, "Here, it’s for you!"

Black Donkey promptly kicked the stone away, saying, "Tch, do I look like a junk collector to you?"

"Hahaha, I’ve found a treasure!" However, Bing Xiulan laughed as she picked up the stone. "This is a remarkably pure Flame Stone. It’s already birthed Spiritual Wisdom. Who knows, holding this stone while cultivating might just lead to the comprehension of a Divine Skill!"

"Hey, lass, give back my treasure!" As soon as Black Donkey heard this, he couldn’t stand for it and immediately bounced up, charging towards Bing Xiulan.

"Stinky donkey, if you dare come closer, I’ll stamp you!" Bing Xiulan brandished the Soul Suppressing Seal.

Black Donkey immediately changed his expression, fawning with a drooling face, "Come on, good girl, let’s talk it over."

His shamelessness was laid bare for all to see. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
