Zhou Heng moved around freely, changing locations after each strike, navigating like a fish in water.
But by the ninth day, Zhou Heng sensed a strange atmosphere, as if he’d fallen into so conspiracy.
This was a martial artist’s intuition of danger!
Zhou Heng beca alert, yet no matter how carefully he watched, he couldn’t find anything unusual. But this feeling persisted, like a heavy stone pressing on his heart.
While moving through the forest, Zhou Heng noticed two groups of people fiercely fighting over the ownership of a demon beast. In such situations, Zhou Heng wouldn’t stand on ceremony; he drew the Sunset Bow, locked onto his target with divine sense, and fired!
Puff!
The demon beast imdiately fell dead. Zhou Heng turned and left, like a ghostly assassin, hitting with precision and disappearing without a trace.
However, after traveling just seven or eight miles, Zhou Heng was suddenly startled; he sensed several powerful auras surrounding him! Although he hadn’t seen anyone yet, he quickly turned around and left, the feeling of unease growing stronger.
After dodging left for four miles, so strong auras approached again, and upon moving three miles to the right, the oppressive aura was still there.
Zhou Heng realized he was surrounded!
Perhaps those two groups fighting over the demon beast were just a lure to expose his location, leading to this current encirclent!
What puzzled him was why so many people were simultaneously targeting him!
In the hunting competition, seizing competitors’ prey was a permitted rule and a necessary test unless it involved personal vendettas, like Lin Xianyang targeting Liu Yuner’s team or Zhou Heng specifically targeting Lin Xianyang’s head.
Zhou Heng had exercised restraint before, snatching heads from each team only once or twice. For most people, it was inconsequential. How could this massive pursuit and ambush be explained then? Didn’t they care about the points?
"Zhou Heng, you can’t escape!" When Zhou Heng was confined within a range of less than a mile, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
If he couldn’t run, so be it!
Zhou Heng sprang into the air, standing on the treetop, no longer concealing his trail.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, figures shot out from the woods, also landing on the treetops, forming an enormous circle of about a hundred people.
A person strode over, stepping on air, appearing exceptionally domineering!
Here, suppressed by the Great Sun Glazed Mirror, martial artists below the Cot Realm couldn’t fly, but short-range air-walking wasn’t difficult for a high-tier Milky Way Emperor.
This person was Lin Xianyang!
Zhou Heng smiled slightly, "Brother Lin is really considerate of , going so far as to gather so many people to trap !"
Lin Xianyang’s expression darkened a bit, having had his heads snatched by a re Star Emperor for five days! Initially, he stubbornly convinced himself he wouldn’t lose to Zhou Heng, nor did he believe Zhou Heng’s "forbidden artifact" could be used indefinitely, so he persisted with the hunt, determined to compete with Zhou Heng till the end.
Yet, by the end of the eighth day, he finally realized Zhou Heng’s "forbidden artifact" was far more durable than he imagined!
Hence, he begrudgingly stopped competing with Zhou Heng and began pursuing him.
Of course, he wasn’t daring enough to attempt killing, or else Ma Mingyuan would’ve acted much earlier since those with a bit of seniority knew a "Black Cave level" expert backed Zhou Heng.
But he was determined to teach Zhou Heng a lesson!
To this end, he didn’t hesitate to promise many benefits, inviting thirteen teams in total to help corner Zhou Heng.
Now it was finally ti to reap the rewards.
"Zhou Heng, you must pay for your actions!" Lin Xianyang coldly declared. Since childhood, he fought on the battlefield, instinctively believing force was the simplest and most effective way to resolve all troubles, disliking boastful words.
In this aspect, he embodied the army’s iron-blooded, ruthless style, with icy eyes fixed on Zhou Heng. One Milky Way, one star opened up behind him, unreservedly showcasing his strength as the academy’s most promising genius.
Nine thousand six hundred thirty-eight stars, nine hundred forty-seven Milky Ways!
Good heavens!
Nine thousand six hundred stars even surpassed the Great Demon Dragon Emperor of old!
It’s known that the more solid the foundation, the higher the future potential of reaching greater realms—perhaps Lin Xianyang might even achieve the Black Cave Realm before his father!
The aura of the Overlord of Martial Arts emanated, materializing into a blood-red spear exuding incredibly fierce battle intent.
Zhou Heng felt a chill in his heart, and as his mind raced, he revealed all his stars as well.
Nine thousand, nine hundred, ninety, nine stars!
Puff!
Seeing this scene, everyone was so shocked they practically swallowed their tongues.
Never doubt the vision of a high-tier Martial Artist, even if the number multiplies by ten tis, they can still count it clearly in an instant! But because they counted it clearly in a flash, it made them so shocked that their tongues stuck out.
—— Like them, the academy’s big shots watching through the Great Sun Glazed Mirror were equally astonished. They had long discovered this silently ford, encompassing great net, so they had focused their attention here early on.
Stellar Realm Great Perfection!
Great Perfection!
These three words exist only in legends. Even the now in-the-midst-of-glory Great Demon Dragon Emperor reportedly only had nine thousand five hundred Stars when he broke through back then. Although it seems only a five hundred Star, re half a percent difference, in the path of cultivation, the last few steps are the most crucial.
Among Martial Artists, there is such a common understanding that the potential of the final Black Cave Realm depends on the shortcoming of the previous three realms. For instance, if a Martial Artist ford nine thousand five hundred Stars, nine hundred and twenty Milky Ways, ninety-four Cots, then the shortest bottleneck is the nine hundred and twenty Milky Ways.
Theoretically, this can form two Black Caves in the Black Cave Realm.
Legend says that if all three realms reach Great Perfection, then there’s a chance to beco the strongest Nine Caves Black Cave Emperor in the world!
Of course, legends are just legends. Let alone Great Perfection, there has never been an existence with nine thousand seven hundred Stars, nine hundred and forty Milky Ways, and ninety-four Cots in the history of the Hundred Dragons Star.
Now, suddenly in front of them appeared such a monster, showing the legendary level Great Perfection Star count. How could this not shock people?
Although Zhou Heng is only a Star Emperor now, if he can still maintain such monstrous talent, forming nine hundred and ninety-nine Milky Ways and ninety-nine Cots in Great Perfection, wouldn’t this guy be likely to beco a Nine Caves Black Cave Emperor?
Sweeping across the Bright Realm, invincible worldwide!
—— Limited by their level, they do not know that above the Black Cave Realm there is also the Chaos Realm, and the Great Perfection of the four realms is also a necessary condition to break through to the Chaos Realm!
Because of too much shock, Lin Xianyang couldn’t help but suddenly stop, under the waver of his heart, a mouthful of Spiritual Power couldn’t circulate through.
Were it a normal ti, this wouldn’t have been anything, but he had just intentionally tried to show off, striding through the air, this wrong breath made him directly fall from mid-air, landing solidly.
This naturally didn’t kill or injure him, but under the eyes of everyone, this was too embarrassing!
Lin Xianyang crawled up in a rolling motion, his handso face full of anger and sha.
A true general remains unflustered even when the sky collapses in front of him, calmly commanding the army without making the slightest error! A loss of composure like he just showed, could on the rapidly changing battlefield already be a setback, or even cause a major defeat!
But who could have imagined the Great Perfection Star count to be so astounding, never before seen!
Such a person, as long as he doesn’t die, even if he can’t reach Great Perfection in the Milky Way Realm and Cot Realm, won’t be much worse. His achievents are incalculable!
For the first ti in his life, Lin Xianyang felt a heart of jealousy, and the target was a Star Emperor countless tis weaker than him!
He wanted to kill him!
"Senior Brother Lin, why be so courteous, kneeling and saluting, I truly feel unworthy!" Zhou Heng feigned humility.
Kneel, your sister!
Lin Xianyang only felt a surge of wicked fire, wishing to slap Zhou Heng’s face into a pulp. How dare he taunt him like this! Arguing clearly wasn’t his strong suit. He snorted coldly, soared back up, and stood poised atop a treetop, facing off against Zhou Heng.
Both sides exhibited their full strength, but the gap was as obvious as it could be. Although Zhou Heng had nearly four hundred more Stars, Lin Xianyang had more than nine hundred Milky Ways. Just casually drawing one made up for the deficiency in Star numbers.
This is an overwhelming advantage.
"I want you to kneel at my feet and say ’I was wrong’ a hundred tis!" Lin Xianyang said coldly.
"Apologizing is enough, no need to kneel, after all, we can be considered fellow disciples!" Zhou Heng deliberately misunderstood his words.
Lin Xianyang’s face grew blacker and blacker, but he also realized, that in terms of verbal sparring, he was indeed far behind Zhou Heng.
"Sharp-tongued!" He snorted coldly, making his move instantly, transforming into a mountain to suppress Zhou Heng.
If he doesn’t use the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, Zhou Heng simply doesn’t have the qualifications to contend head-on with a Milky Way Emperor, let alone a Martial King Overlord who, even if lesser in aptitude, wouldn’t be too much worse, entirely unable to bridge this Great Realm’s gap!
Zhou Heng’s body flickered, his right hand flashed, the Sunset Bow already fully drawn, arrow nocked, behind him nearly ten thousand Stars spun together.
Lin Xianyang’s offensive halted abruptly!
He had seen too many tis the power of this bow and those arrows!
Regarding this, he both loved and hated it! How much he wished this bow and those arrows were his, allowing him to slay enemy leaders on the battlefield, establishing a true reputation for himself! Yet it was precisely this bow that made him hate it to the core, resembling a nightmare these days!
But now he dared not act rashly, this Forbidden Artifact killing Demon Beasts of the Milky Way Emperor level as if slaughtering livestock, he did not want to risk his life!
—— He did not know, that Zhou Heng was rely bluffing, after all, the special effect of the Sunset Bow could only deliver a fatal strike to a heavily injured target, just as the Black Sword needed to hit a vital spot to kill the opponent.
Chaos-level Treasure Artifacts are indeed powerful, but also depend on whose hands they are used.
"Dare you fight fairly——I will suppress my cultivation to the Stellar Realm!" Lin Xianyang said proudly. (To be continued. If you like this work, welco to vote for recomndations, monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.)
