Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 690 - 667 Dust to Dust, Earth to Earth (2/3)

Zhou Heng focused on the Broken Bone in the skeleton’s hand, a suspicion rising in his heart.

Strictly speaking, the Sublimation King wasn’t killed by the skeleton, but by the Broken Bone in its hand that literally exploded him!

Even from a distance, Zhou Heng could still feel the astonishing pressure emanating from the Broken Bone, a type of overwhelming force, just like the traces of True Dragon Blood and the Treasure Artifact fragments before!

Here, everyone’s realm was suppressed, including the remains of the Creation Emperor!

But everything changed from the moment its bone broke.

Because once the bone broke, it escaped from the skeleton’s obsessive grip, becoming a genuine Creation Emperor’s relic, just like the Dragon Blood and the Treasure Artifact fragments, no longer affected by the restrictions here.

—The restrictions here only affect conscious beings!

And the ironic part was, the skeleton was originally one with the Broken Bone, naturally unaffected by the Creation Emperor-level suppression, effortlessly swinging this "stick" to strike others!

Under the breath’s oppression, the Sublimation King couldn’t even dodge, and was directly shattered!

This unfortunate existence, a Creation Emperor remains a Creation Emperor indeed, not to be insulted lightly!

If he had decided not to entangle from the start, how could he have possibly tangled himself to death?

Fortunately, the loss was just a Dharma Aspect, which could be cultivated back in just a few thousand to ten thousand years.

"Why disturb the deceased’s eternal rest!" This White Bone Skeleton kept repeating just this phrase as it glanced at the three companions of Hu Mei and suddenly swept towards them with a "stick".

The three did not know that a Sublimation King had just perished, and although they were quite wary of this White Bone Skeleton, they didn’t feel much fear, thinking that since the realm here was suppressed, the opponent, strong as they could be, would only be a Sunshine King!

They too were Sunshine Kings, and even Sunshine Kings who had surpassed their limits. Apart from a few people like Thorn Blood Rose and One Sword Breaks the Heavens, who else under the heavens could oppress them at the Sunshine King realm?

"How audacious!" they all shouted. As followers of Hu Mei, they naturally needed to take worries off their master’s shoulders. Why would they let their master take action if they encountered something? Whoosh whoosh whoosh, the three of them boldly met the challenge, their bodies flashing bright radiance, clearly exerting their full power to crush the skeleton.

Crack!

A dull sound followed as the bone club smashed down, turning the three into a pulp, not even a single whole bone remaining. The deities, of course, also vanished in one strike, dead completely, too gruesome to behold.

"Why disturb the deceased’s eternal rest!" The White Bone Skeleton showed no emotional change, holding only a sliver of obsession, which was to guard this place and prevent anyone from disturbing the resting souls here.

Boom!

It swung its lone arm, raising the bone club again and striking towards Hu Mei, Zhou Heng, and the others.

The pressure of the Creation Emperor stirred, causing Hu Mei, Black Donkey, and Bing Xiulan to tremble violently, chilled to the bone, like fish on a chopping board, not able to muster even a slight resistance.

This was a suppression of the soul, the difference in levels was just too great, they couldn’t resist at all!

—Previously, the three experts from the Creation Realm couldn’t even handle a Heart of Wood of a Creation Emperor level. They were only off by one or two minor realms, yet they didn’t even dare to come close, only able to use the Blood Sacrifice Technique, showing how terrifying the Creation Emperor’s pressure was!

The only one unaffected was Zhou Heng!

He grabbed Bing Xiulan with his left hand, lifted Black Donkey with his right hand, kicked out with his right leg, hitting Hu Mei’s plump buttocks, sending her flying first, then he performed the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, instantly leaving the spot.

Bang!

The bone club struck, raising dust everywhere, but the actual destructive power was not very shocking, as it could only utilize the power of a Sunshine King.

The White Bone Skeleton missed with one strike, briefly stunned, then turned and followed in the direction of Hu Mei.

Zhou Heng sighed. Although he was neither particularly fond of nor disliked Hu Mei, she had always been polite to him, and he couldn’t just stand by and watch her die. Instantly dropping Black Donkey and Bing Xiulan to the ground, he employed Swift Cloud Radiant Step again, and rapidly chased after the White Bone Skeleton.

"Ow, my buttocks, wretched boy, putting women before friends!" the Black Donkey landed on its buttocks first, immediately screaming out in pain.

"This is outrageous, flirting with another woman right in front of me, does he still want to be my brother-in-law?" Bing Xiulan also complained, her dark and lively eyes staring at Hu Mei, seemingly pondering some mischief.

The White Bone Skeleton was fast, but Zhou Heng was faster!

He had already broken through the barrier of the Sunshine King in terms of power, fearing no existence here anymore. Paired with the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, his speed was unstoppable!

Whoosh, merely after seven steps he caught up with the White Bone Skeleton. At this moment, this relic of the Creation Emperor was raising its bone club towards Hu Mei, its supreme aura so oppressive that Hu Mei couldn’t even dodge.

In her frightened pupils, Zhou Heng’s figure suddenly enlarged. A fist condensed, throwing up a patch of Golden Divine Radiance, and he struck towards the lone remaining arm bone of the White Bone Skeleton.

"Dust to dust, earth to earth, the elder has long passed away, why can’t you rest in peace?" Zhou Heng punched out, turning eleven wheels of red sunshine, with ninety-nine Minor Runes condensing on his fist!

With such power paired with such immortal techniques, who in the Sunshine Realm could possibly withstand him?

Even the Creation Emperor was no match!

Bang!

A crisp sound echoed as Zhou Heng forcefully broke off the arm of the White Bone Skeleton. Under the immense force, the broken bone flew off, tracing an arc in the sky before heavily crashing to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and broken stones.

Since it was separated from the skeleton’s body, this broken bone also possessed the oppressive might of the Creation Emperor. Even from a considerable distance, Hu Mei’s face turned pale as she suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably, her eyes flashing with immense panic!

She was only a Sunshine King, no matter how exceptional or formidable, she could not change this fact. Being oppressed by the might of the Creation Emperor was a disaster, a catastrophic blow—would she still have the confidence or courage to climb the path of martial artists in the future?

"Why disturb the eternal rest of the dead!" the White Bone Skeleton, devoid of sorrow or joy, was driven by a single obsession that kept it fighting continuously. Losing an arm was of no consequence; even if left with just a fleshy ball, an immortal’s battle power wouldn’t be significantly affected!

Its jaw moved, and a puff of black energy burst forth from its mouth, forming into arrows that shot rapidly towards Zhou Heng.

"Why won’t you let go!" Zhou Heng’s figure soared, aided by the Black Sword he was fearless against any oppression; his battle power remained unaffected. He concentrated ninety-nine minor runes into each fist, and with a series of bangs, he struck out fiercely.

Why did this skeleton cling to such an obsession? Once dead and turned to ash, what is there that cannot be relinquished?

This place was once the battlefield of the Creation Emperor; those souls left behind must be those of the Creation Emperors from those times. To say these Creation Emperors were a family... that seems far-fetched!

If they weren’t even a family, why protect their relics so persistently, shielding them from external disturbances?

Merely out of friendship?

Zhou Heng did not understand, but he had decided to grant this predecessor a thorough rest!

No matter who the combatants of the ancient battle were, at least three million years had passed, everything and everyone had perished, and no grudge remained unresolved.

"Predecessor, allow the junior to see you off on your final journey!" Zhou Heng said with a solemn tone, simply out of respect for this lingering obsession.

He fought fiercely, Divine Radiance flaring golden as it sent shards of bones scattering across the sky.

The White Bone Skeleton was indeed powerful, but no matter how strong, it was now merely a set of remains. All its glory belonged to the past; facing a true young Supreme, how could it possibly stand a chance?

But its obsession was deep-seated. Despite its bones being shattered and flung around, it still persisted in battle, fighting until only a skull remained.

Bang!

Zhou Heng punched out, ninety-nine broken runes swirling together, and even the last skull burst open under his fist!

All returned to silence!

But the ground was covered with the remnants of that Creation Emperor, forming an oppressive force so terrifying that even a Creation King who ventured too close might be crushed directly!

Zhou Heng gathered all these relics together and dug a grave to bury them, showing his respect for this predecessor.

Meanwhile, the Black Donkey’s eyes darted around; it wanted to snatch a Divine Bone to hide away, but firstly, Zhou Heng was watching closely, and secondly, it lacked the means to steal a Divine Bone without risking its own life.

Once all this was done, Hu Mei had still not recovered, continuing to lie on the ground, her body covered in a heavy sweat, all of it cold perspiration. freewёbnoνel.com

Zhou Heng sighed. Having intervened to save her earlier, he naturally couldn’t leave matters unfinished now. He strode over, his own aura releasing, with Supreme Divine Radiance fluttering about him.

In Hu Mei’s field of vision appeared an Immortal bathed in shimmering Golden Light, casting a patch of brightness in her otherwise dark world.

So dazzling! So warm!

"It’s all right now!" Zhou Heng said softly. The woman’s will was on the verge of collapse; any more stress might completely destroy her!

It’s fortunate it was her; anyone else might have turned into a fool by now!

Hu Mei stared blankly at Zhou Heng, suddenly lunging forward and throwing herself into his arms, wrapping her arms tightly around him, her delicate body quivering, showing the fear inside her heart.

Only the presence of this man could offer her a shred of warmth, only he could chase away the cold inside her.

Zhou Heng was somewhat embarrassed; he certainly hadn’t intended to take advantage of Hu Mei, but she had thrown herself into his embrace. Seeing her this frightened, he couldn’t bring himself to push her away, so he gently patted her shoulder, comforting her, "It’s all right! It’s all right!"

Hu Mei did not respond, merely trembling more and holding onto Zhou Heng even tighter.
