"Even if you beco the Star Emperor, what good is possessing star power?" Xin Shan encouraged himself, "I am the Four Thousand Stars Star Emperor, and I have no idea how many tis stronger I am than you!"
"Cut the useless boasting!" Zhou Heng beckoned with a finger, "Co at , let’s fight!"
"Arrogant brat, I’ll smash your head to pieces and see how tough you talk then!" Xin Shan roared, there was an inexplicable fear in his heart, only by igniting his rage could he drive this fear away!
He waved his hands, and suddenly a multitude of stars surged forward, bombarding towards Zhou Heng.
The stars were as hard as treasure artifacts of the sa level, and combined with the power of a high-tier Star Emperor, they were utterly invincible!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, each star radiated dazzling starlight, adorning the slightly dim sky with brilliant brightness.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zhou Heng struck out with punches, not using any spiritual power to protect his fists, relying purely on his physical body to withstand the impact.
——He didn’t have the ability to completely convert that level four Blood Spirit Fruit into his own spiritual power accumulation, but under the suppression of the Black Sword, it wasn’t wasted and instead fused with his blood, flesh, and bones, further enhancing his physique.
Now, his brutal strength had reached at least five thousand stars!
In terms of sheer power, he was already crushing Xin Shan!
Of course, brute strength couldn’t operate cultivation techniques, which was a drawback, otherwise combined with the fortyfold increase from the Crimson Fla Sword Technique, he could have sliced any Star Emperor on Duyang Star with a single swing! And unlike the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, terrifying brute strength allowed him to keep swinging the Black Sword, slaying Star Emperors in the thousands!
Every punch he threw sent a star flying away.
Zhou Heng was also keen to test his battle power, without any intention of using the Black Sword or Five Elents Rune, each punch fully unleashed the power of his muscles, and in the midst of his punches, Xin Shan’s stars were left with cracks.
Xin Shan was utterly shocked; a Martial Artist’s stars were supposed to be comparable to treasure artifacts of the sa level! If Zhou Heng could even crack stars, wouldn’t he be able to shatter treasure artifacts with his bare hands?
This... is this guy human or a demon beast?
"Transform!" Xin Shan shouted, to dispel the unease in his heart, his body swelled rapidly, and he grew black fur all over, transforming into a ten-zhang tall ape, with claws as sharp as blades, each three feet long.
He had maximized his battle power, leaping up fiercely, swinging his enormous palms towards Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng snorted coldly, flipping his fists, eting Xin Shan’s palms head-on.
Boom!
A loud crash resounded, dust swirling in the air, twisting and turning.
Zhou Heng withstood Xin Shan’s palms by sheer force, both of their figures left immobile. Yet, one was a ten-zhang tall ape, while the other maintained a normal stature; in comparison, it was like a baby blocking an adult’s attack, appearing incredibly unbelievable!
But this wasn’t the end!
Zhou Heng began moving forward.
As their fists and palms were locked together, if one moved forward, the other had to retreat. This was a contest of strength; whoever was stronger could overpower the other.
Xin Shan’s mountain-like body kept retreating, unable to withstand Zhou Heng’s brute strength! He might have looked like a colossal monster, but in the face of Zhou Heng, it seed the latter was the true monster, impossible to contend with!
Zhou Heng suddenly let out a mighty shout, his fists surging with explosive power, and Xin Shan was imdiately sent flying.
Bam!
Xin Shan’s body traced an arc through the air, crashing heavily to the ground, stirring up yet another cloud of dust. He struggled to rise, his body reverting to its original form, and his once splendid attire was now tattered and torn, except for the red shorts around his waist which remained intact, probably being a treasure artifact.
The Black Donkey’s eyes glead, fixating on Xin Shan’s lower body, making it easy for others to assu it had certain peculiar interests.
"Impossible!" Xin Shan’s body trembled unsteadily, his face filled with an unyielding refusal to accept reality.
He was a high-tier Star Emperor, he had the bloodline of the Ancient Divine Ape, he held a blood feud with Zhou Heng for killing his brother, he must defeat Zhou Heng, how could he lose to him?
"There’s no such thing as impossible!" Zhou Heng said coldly, "You two brothers went too far, planning to step over my corpse to elevate Xin Dong, in the end, one died first, the other later!"
"You—don’t you dare ntion my brother’s na!" Xin Shan pointed admonishingly, "Zhou Heng, I will kill you, I must kill you!"
"Though it’s almost a year late, sending you to see your brother isn’t too late!" Zhou Heng summoned the Black Sword, malicious intent flashing in his eyes. Xin Shan wanted to kill him, and he, in turn, wanted to eliminate this bastard too!
He wasn’t strong enough before, but now thirty years had passed, and he absolutely would not hold back.
"I want you dead!" Xin Shan surged out again, desperate enough to burn star power, detonating stars one by one, continually boosting his power.
This was a fight to the death!
It’s a pity he is facing Zhou Heng! This monster with a physique equating the Star Emperor at five thousand stars!
What concept is this?
Even if Zhou Heng were to give up all resistance and let others attack him, his opponent would have to wield an attack force exceeding five thousand stars to harm him! It would be like hitting a mountain with a hamr, each strike only knocking a small piece aside, needing countless strikes to shatter the entire mountain!
Of course, if a Star Emperor at four thousand stars uses a cultivation technique, the destructive force it generates certainly exceeds five thousand stars, but how would Zhou Heng really stand still for such an attack?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zhou Heng and his opponent continued to clash fiercely, terrifying power flowed everywhere, blood constantly seeped from Xin Shan as his skin split open, his organs fragnted, and even his divine bone was on the brink of collapse.
——Xin Shan does not possess a physique as strong as Zhou Heng’s!
He suddenly let out a long howl, and his figure abruptly retreated, intending to flee into the passage.
If he couldn’t win, then naturally, he would escape!
Xin Shan was unwilling to die, after all, only by staying alive could he have hope for revenge.
"Hehehe, think you can escape if you can’t win? It’s not that easy!" The Black Donkey, having fixed its gaze on his crimson underwear for a long ti, couldn’t let him escape, and imdiately raised its hooves, casting an inhibitory rune.
Xin Shan was caught instantly, in less than a mont he wasn’t even aware of it, maintaining his forward charging posture but unable to advance at all.
Zhou Heng’s figure swept out, raising the Black Sword, he swung it down, and with a splatter, a burst of blood light spurted out, and Xin Shan’s head flew off. Immobilized by the rune, he didn’t realize it even at the mont of death, his face still bore a half-smile, half-not expression, rendering it incredibly eerie.
Another Chapter of grudges cos to an end!
Zhou Heng sheathed the Black Sword, yet felt no joy in his heart. Originally, he had no enmity with the Xin Brothers, but Xin Dong wanted to step on him to rise in status, making Xin Shan employ sinister tricks against him, even planning to kill him during a duel, eventually costing his own life!
This kind of grudge is truly aningless!
"Donkey, let’s go!" Zhou Heng sighed and retracted his thoughts, he still needed to rush back to report news about the Heavenly King Gu. Compared to that, this news was far more important.
The Black Donkey had already ransacked Xin Shan entirely, including the space artifact on him and that crimson underwear that made its eyes green with envy, which it unabashedly wore over its rear, then covered with a floral skirt, dripping with impish flair it couldn’t contain.
When it cos to treasures, the Black Donkey never wastes any.
"Let’s go, let’s go!" The gleeful donkey proclaid, fully satisfied.
They entered the passage, heading towards the exit. After half a day, they saw the demon beasts that had entered ahead of them, now battling with guards from the Great River Academy.
The Great River Academy defended the passage exit, erecting a formidable barrier, and being inside or outside of the passage were entirely different matters — in the passage, one is subjected to twisted force, being able to exert one-tenth of battle power already being fortunate.
Although the Milky Way King’s demon beasts were powerful, the academy also boasted several such experts, even housing Milky Way Sovereign, or even Milky Way Emperor-level experts, and soon they heard the demon beast let out an angry roar, beginning to retreat.
The passage was wide enough that the re hundred or so demon beasts couldn’t occupy much space. Zhou Heng and his companions hid far away, and once the beasts were defeated, they were effectively left with no care but to flee.
Zhou Heng, along with the Black Donkey and Little Fire, continued forward towards the exit.
Swish!
As he neared the exit, a sword light suddenly flew at him, the cold killing intent enough to raise one’s hair.
Zhou Heng punched out, shouting, "I am an academy student, not a demon beast!"
Boom!
He smashed the incoming sword qi with a punch, his eyes gleaming with divine authority. This was not the ti to show off, he quickly retrieved his identity token, lighting it up with his own aura, to avoid disaster should a Milky Way Realm expert make a move.
"Truly a student!" A thunderous voice rang out, and an elder of commanding stature leaped out, blocking the second wave of attacks that the attacker was about to launch.
Once Zhou Heng exited the tunnel, the elder, with an unsatisfied guise, said, "Why have you not adhered to the six-month deadline and delayed coming out until now?"
"I have confidential intelligence to report!" Zhou Heng respectfully cupped his hands to the elder and glanced at the assailant, feeling sowhat displeased. Once could be excusable due to uncertainties, but with a second ti despite having identified himself and lighting up his identity token, what was the idea behind persisting with the attack?
The person was a young man who appeared to be in his twenties, with a considerable amount of arrogance, seemingly having only recently stepped into the Star Emperor level. Seeing Zhou Heng’s scornful glance, he smirked coldly, evidently not placing Zhou Heng in his consideration.
"Confidential intelligence?" The elder glanced at Zhou Heng, as if pondering whether Zhou Heng was fear-mongering, but after considering the circumstances, he nodded to Zhou Heng, signaling him to follow him aside.
Zhou Heng followed the elder to one side, recounting his encounter with the Heavenly King Gu. He did not alter much of the truth, but naturally did not ntion things like the Blood Spirit Fruit or Teleportation Rune, rely stating that he had lost his way and inadvertently entered Heavenly King Gu’s lair.
The crux was that Heavenly King Gu could recover to the Cot Realm within a month and reerge; who could contend with that?
If this old maniac embarked on so new experint, transforming everyone on Duyang Star into half-human, half-beast creatures, what then? (To be continued.
