Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 591 - 570 Breakthrough in Battle, Emperors Bow Down (1/3)

Chapter 591: Chapter 570 Breakthrough in Battle, Emperors Bow Down (1/3)

Who knows who struck first, but a battle where the numbers were absolutely unequal began!

At least sixty Moonlight Emperors launched an attack on Zhou Heng simultaneously, among them no fewer than twenty were Peak Moonlight Emperors. Ordinary Moonlight Emperors would be scared half to death just at the sight of such an assembly!

But far from being frightened, Zhou Heng felt excitement bursting from every pore!

He relished challenges!

However, Zhou Heng had no intention whatsoever of facing these Moonlight Emperors head-on; he was fearless but not foolish.

Employing the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, he wielded the Hundred Ghosts Sword, and waves of Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures surged forth, roaring towards the Moonlight Emperors.

But circumstances changed. While Zhou Heng seemed more than capable when fighting against the ten great Moonlight Emperors of the Fu Family, quantity brings about a qualitative change. There were simply too many Moonlight Emperors present, and the Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures could not form in sufficient numbers; they were smashed into oblivion the moment they appeared by the numerous Moonlight Emperors!

There were at least over sixty Moonlight Emperors!

Not only Zhou Heng, but even someone like Situ Yaofang, a Peak Moonlight Emperor and one among the top five in terms of combat power, would have to beat a tactical retreat in the face of such power, a force that could crush all Moonlight Emperors.

- Only those with an Eight-Wheel Moon, or even Nine or Ten Wheels, were not included, because once the number of Moon Wheels exceeds seven, it breaks through the barriers of their Realm!

Even the Sunshine King, who is a Great Realm on his own, cannot easily break through, but an Eight-Wheel Moonlight Emperor confronting a Seven Wheels Moonlight Emperor is an absolute qualitative crushing, not simply a matter of one more Bright Moon’s power.

Currently, there were no Eight-Wheel Moonlight Emperors, so the combined force of these more than sixty Moonlight Emperors was invincible!

Zhou Heng could only dodge, as he unfolded the Swift Cloud Radiant Step and deftly navigated through the barrage of palm winds, punch power, Sword Qi, and whip strength, pushing the esoteric movement technique to its limit!

With his terrifying insight, this Swift Cloud Radiant Step had even surpassed its original mastery, becoming better than the version used by the direct descendants of the Kong Family!

Dozens of Domain Fields spread out, attempting to ensnare Zhou Heng, but to no avail. Even Divine Intent has flaws. Once Zhou Heng grasped the weaknesses, all attacks in the world had traces he could follow.

To Zhou Heng, these attacks, including the Domain Fields, were like intricate spider webs – complex yet full of flaws. With a casual swing of his sword, he could slash open the weakest link.

A scene that could astonish everyone unfolded—dozens of Moonlight Emperors joined forces yet couldn’t bring down a Nine Wheels Moonlight Sovereign!

The aftershocks of the battle rippled, and although not strong enough to destroy the Heavenly Might Hall protected by Formations, the Formation transmitting the battle’s images was eventually destroyed, causing tens of millions within the city to curse in unison!

How could it fail at this critical moment?

They rushed towards the Heavenly Might Hall, hoping to at least catch the end.

"Those below Six Wheels, fall back!" a Seven Wheels Peak Moonlight Emperor shouted forcefully, his gaze sharp. Although they outnumbered their opponent, some in their ranks only hindered rather than helped, getting in the way!

When this Peak Moonlight Emperor spoke, no one dared disobey. They promptly withdrew, and suddenly, only about thirty remained on the field—all of them were Moonlight Emperors of Six Wheels or even Seven!

With fewer numbers, their combined battle power became more focused and terrifying!

The Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures summoned by the Hundred Ghosts Sword were completely dispersed with a shake by the Seven Wheels Moonlight Emperors and were essentially useless, only managing to slightly divert their attention at best.

For Zhou Heng, this was enough!

Although the opponents’ attack power had increased, his maneuverability also became greater due to fewer people. He moved around the battlefield with ease. Although he was completely on the defensive, there was no sign of defeat!

This made the spectators wonder—if it were one-on-one, would Zhou Heng be invincible?

In a one-on-one, Zhou Heng wouldn’t be able to defeat a Seven Wheels Moonlight Emperor—unless he resorted to the Sky-soaring Nine Forms or was lucky enough that his opponent angered the Bone Talisman Master on the top of his head. His ability to hold on until now was firstly due to the miraculous nature of the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, and secondly, because the aura carrying a hint of the Bone Talisman’s might was unconsciously suppressing the enemies and hindering their ability to fight at full strength.

Even the Great Eternal Emperor could only affect cultivators of the same Realm, and those with resolute wills couldn’t be shaken in the slightest. But Zhou Heng, who was already better than the original, now augmented by a trace of the Bone Talisman’s power, could even influence a Moonlight Emperor who was a whole Realm higher!

Zhou Heng’s gaze constantly fixated on those five who dared slander the Moon Shadow Saintess, Yang Lanxin’s, reputation. But currently, surrounded by more than thirty high-tier Moonlight Emperors, even with his nimble movement, he could not possibly kill someone in such a situation!

- He could kill, but that would also cost him his own life, which was not worth it!

Zhou Heng sheathed the Black Sword and, while executing the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, started the Refinement of its power.

He was multitasking, something he could already do in the Mortal Realm!

Operating purely on instinct, he focused all his Divine Intent on refining the Life Essence Qi within the Black Sword.

In all the world, probably only Zhou Heng would dare to do so, brazenly ignoring more than thirty high-tier Moonlight Emperors! If they knew, likely they could spit blood from sheer frustration!

They could not see the changes within Zhou Heng, but some changes were beyond his control.

Zhou Heng’s ninth Moon Wheel was already in a perfect state, unable to accommodate more Spiritual Power. This limit was soon broken, a crescent moon manifesting out of thin air!

The Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures summoned by the Hundred Ghosts Sword clearly grew stronger!

How could that be!

The more than thirty high-tier Moonlight Emperors in the fray were keenly aware of this change!

Having fought for so long, they certainly had some understanding of Zhou Heng’s abilities, knowing that the Immortal Artifact in his hands could only summon Spiritual Power entities on the same level as himself. Now that these entities increased in power... although they were still trivial for them, the increase was a fact!

What did this signify?

Zhou Heng had grown stronger! Only when he, the source, became stronger, would the Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures summoned via the Hundred Ghosts Sword improve.

But the problem was, he was in the midst of a standing battle, how could he possibly become stronger?

Hum!

A tenth crescent moon appeared behind Zhou Heng, and though it was only a sliver, it was a qualitative change!

Ten Wheel Moon!

The limit of the Immortal Realm!

A freak! A monster!

Everyone simultaneously felt a strong sense of dread. If they had realized Zhou Heng possessed the Ten Wheel Moon before they took action, they definitely wouldn’t have made a move, but instead, would have sought ways to befriend him.

A Moonlight Sovereign with the Ten Wheel Moon—his future was boundless!

Having one more friend opened another path, and even if they couldn’t become friends, it was better than having one more formidable enemy.

But now they had already made their move and offended Zhou Heng, which meant they could only continue down this dark path!

Otherwise, once Zhou Heng broke through and became a Moonlight Emperor with the Eight Wheels or even Nine Wheels Moon, killing them would be like slaughtering chickens and dogs!

Putting their fates in the hands of another—this was something these power-holders couldn’t tolerate! Thus, as the saying goes: once the bow is drawn, the arrow must fly, and only by erasing Zhou Heng could they be at ease.

Zhou Heng’s entire mind, however, was focused on increasing his strength. As he continuously refined the Life Essence Qi, the crescent moon behind him rapidly grew, from a sliver to a waning moon, then from a waning moon to a half-moon!

Everyone was dumbstruck!

Was this damn thing a reincarnation of an Immortal Venerate, who had an enlightenment in the blink of an eye and reached enlightenment on the spot?

Having witnessed such a miracle, everyone present was utterly shocked. There might be individuals younger than Zhou Heng but at a higher realm, yet to speak of someone breaking through amidst intense battle was probably unique to this freak of nature!

"This person must be eliminated!" Over thirty high-tier Moonlight Emperors communicated with Divine Intent and immediately reached a consensus.

Their onslaught became more urgent, as terrible Immortal Techniques were deployed, each person now filled with a chilling intent to kill.

Zhou Heng remained as he was, his absorption of the two Moonlight Emperors’ Life Essence Qi still incomplete.

Hum!

His figure trembled slightly, and a eleventh crescent moon formed!

Eleven Wheels Moon!

He had broken the limit of the Immortal Realm!

Everyone stopped in their tracks at that instant. Eleven Wheels Moon—such an unprecedented feat in the Immortal Realm was unknown to them, for they weren’t qualified to know that the Immortal Realm had long since seen the Eleven Wheels Moon or even Fifteen Wheels!

An inconceivable miracle unfurled right before their eyes. Who still had the heart to battle?

This person was likely favored by heaven and earth! To oppose him was possibly to go against the will of heaven and earth!

Though cultivators often stole life against the heavens, to comprehend the Great Dao was to follow the natural order, and the will of heaven and earth was enigmatic and inspired a chilling fear!

No one dared to make a move anymore.

Zhou Heng acted purely on instinct. With the enemies not attacking, he naturally remained still, and the speed at which he refined the Life Essence Qi significantly increased. The crescent moon swiftly grew into a waning moon but then halted.

He had completely refined the Life Essence Qi!

Zhou Heng suddenly opened his eyes, and in that instant, an abridged vision of the universe’s primordial chaos rapidly evolved within his pupils. A moment was eternity, leaving everyone who witnessed this feeling an ineffable sense of insignificance.

He swept his cold gaze across, and wherever it landed, everyone hastily retreated, as if his gaze was like a high-tier Immortal Artifact, bringing misfortune to whoever it touched.

"Not fighting anymore?" he asked indifferently.

Who would dare to make a move? The Eleven Wheels Moon—an unprecedented existence, who knew if it was a manifestation of the will of heaven and earth? Moreover, these two additional Moon Wheels had manifested in such a strange manner, and they were convinced it was not something humanly achievable!

It could only be explained as the will of heaven and earth.

People shook their heads, one after another.

"Then get lost!" Zhou Heng’s gaze locked onto those five who spread the rumors as he strode forward.

To be disdainfully told to get lost by a Moonlight Sovereign made everyone feel uncomfortable inside, yet they dared not show it.

What was the will of heaven and earth? No one knew! And because they didn’t know, everyone was sincerely fearful and didn’t dare to cross that line.

The unknown was the most terrifying thing!

Zhou Heng, wielding his sword, advanced forward, and those in his path parted like waves, clearing a path for him straight to those five.

"Slanderers spreading falsehoods, die!" Zhou Heng’s sword swooped down, and with a "puff, puff, puff," five heads flew off, and blood gushed out.

As his gaze swept over, not a single person dared meet his eyes, not even the Moonlight Emperors, who lowered their noble heads. (To be continued.
