When the academy’s bigwigs arrived, they were just in ti to barely save Lin Xianyang. Had they been a step later, he might have been burned alive by the Fire Divine Furnace!
With only Quasi-Cot Level strength, it wasn’t enough to decisively kill a Peak Milky Way Emperor. However, if Zhou Heng were to unleash the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, in Lin Xianyang’s current state, he would definitely be unable to evade!
It’s not that Zhou Heng hadn’t thought of killing, but he knew that the Great Sun Glazed Mirror hovering above wouldn’t allow him to kill, so he was just toying with Lin Xianyang—yet, he didn’t know that the Great Sun Glazed Mirror had already been controlled by Hongyue!
It was only after the academy’s bigwigs rescued Lin Xianyang that Zhou Heng suddenly realized!
It must be Hongyue!
Otherwise, the Great Sun Glazed Mirror would have stopped him from being beaten up at the start, and the academy’s bigwigs wouldn’t need to intervene now!
But now, Lin Xianyang was barely holding onto life, protecting his vital spots with spiritual power as a final defense, in a semi-unconscious state.
The faces of the academy bigwigs were ashen. How could they explain Lin Xianyang’s condition to Lin Wubing? Yet, they dared not scold Zhou Heng; they simply announced that the competition would continue and hurriedly took Lin Xianyang away.
—The battles between these two big figures were not sothing they could ddle in; naturally, it would be resolved between them.
As they left, everyone else also dispersed. Initially gathered at Lin Xianyang’s request for a huge price, the sight of him nearly getting thrashed by Zhou Heng scattered their eyeballs all over the ground!
Zhou Heng, undoubtedly, was now marked with a "keep away" tag. With the academy’s bigwigs gone, who would linger to be beaten?
Not all of them were on the protection list!
Seeing the crowd disperse in haste, Zhou Heng had no intention to pursue them. With so many people, it wasn’t possible to chase them all. Besides, though he had broken through, his injuries wouldn’t heal on their own; they needed to be dealt with quickly.
He took a Vajra Pill and activated the Minor Healing Rune from the Five Elents Rune. Half a day later, his flesh wounds were mostly healed, but the broken bones couldn’t be instantly nded, even for a strong man like him, requiring ten days to half a month.
However, wrapping them with spiritual power, such bone injuries wouldn’t make him lose combat effectiveness.
With one day left until the competition ends, after Lin Xianyang’s relentless pursuit, Liu Yun’er’s score might keep dropping. Forget first place, even staying in the top ten might be precarious.
He had made a promise, and achieved an unprecedented breakthrough here, reaching Ten Thousand Stars and breaking into the Milky Way Realm in one leap. He simply must fulfill Liu Yun’er’s wish—securing first place!
Slay that Cot Realm demon beast!
Zhou Heng imdiately decided. That demon beast, already heavily wounded, could only muster Peak Milky Way Emperor battle power. The Fire Divine Furnace could counter it, and by using the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, he could end the fight directly.
With the decision made, Zhou Heng began heading towards the mountain peaks. If he encountered any demon beasts along the way, he wouldn’t mind dealing with them casually, using the Black Sword to absorb Life Essence Qi to speed up his bone injury recovery.
High-tier demon beasts were not likely to be seen everywhere. By the ti Zhou Heng reached the highest peak among the mountains, he had only dealt with seven Stellar Realm demon beasts, but the bone injury had improved by thirty percent.
One thing delighted Zhou Heng imnsely.
The ten thousand stars within his body ford a rapidly spinning vortex, continuously absorbing the nature’s spiritual energy, transforming it into his spiritual power accumulation or replenishing his spiritual power consumption.
Since he ford the ten thousand stars, it had been this way, but he initially thought it was a temporary phenonon that would disappear after breaking into the Milky Way Realm. Yet, that was completely not the case!
It continued persistently!
He was exceedingly excited!
How fast was this absorption rate of spiritual energy?
In just one day, it could form a Milky Way!
If it could continue indefinitely, even without consuming any pills or using any treasures, just by lying down and sleeping, in less than three years, he could form a thousand-path Milky Way!
For years, Zhou Heng had exceptionally high perception but could only be considered diocre in aptitude. If not for the Black Sword’s ability to transform spiritual power and the existence of so many miraculous spirit pills that could increase spiritual power accumulation, his cultivation speed would have been painfully slow!
A Martial Artist’s cultivation level progress requires both spiritual power accumulation and realm comprehension!
But now, there was a trendous change!
He seed to turn into a Black Cave, absorbing nature’s spiritual energy endlessly. Even sleeping, his spiritual power accumulation speed would surpass ninety-nine percent of those who continuously practiced hard, consuming miraculous spirit pills daily!
Is this heaven’s reward for forming ten thousand stars?
So powerful, it’s defying the natural order!
Could it be possible to arrange a thousand-path Milky Way this way, continuously providing him with endless spiritual energy? Because at this realm, he can absorb enough spiritual power to form a Milky Way in just one day, but upon reaching the Cot Realm, the spiritual power required to form each Cot multiplies by a thousand!
Then, at that ti, with the current spiritual energy absorption rate, his cultivation progress would slow, requiring a thousand days to form a Cot!
Actually, forming one Cot in three years isn’t slow. At this realm, one needs to use high-tier Immortal Elixirs or even Low-Tier Holy dicine to quickly enhance their cultivation level; forming a Cot in a thousand years isn’t unusual!
Because the total required is less than a hundred cots, calculating one every three years, it’s less than three hundred years.
But how could Zhou Heng wait for three hundred years?
He wants to et Huo Tian now!
Therefore, he must attempt to form a similar Milky Way Array even at the Milky Way Realm.
While thinking, Zhou Heng walked leisurely up the mountain peak.
The mountain was steep, as the Great Sun Glazed Mirror exerted imnse pressure, making walking here surprisingly difficult. Zhou Heng’s speed wasn’t fast, almost like an ordinary person.
It took him a full two hours before he finally reached the summit.
There was a strong stench here, noticeable even halfway up the mountain, and it only beca thicker upon reaching the top, making one want to cover their nose to avoid breathing.
Just what kind of demon beast is this? Personal hygiene is awful!
Zhou Heng inwardly griped as he continued forward.
The answer was quickly revealed, it was a giant lizard!
The surroundings were filled with rotting corpses, covered in bite marks. These bodies emitted the stench, but they weren’t the main source; it was the giant lizard itself, with a huge wound under its belly.
How could an ordinary injury cause a cot realm demon beast’s power to fall to the peak of the Milky Way Realm? This was definitely an incurable wound. After this hunting contest, if no one slays it, the academy would get rid of it.
When Zhou Heng discovered the demon beast, it also discovered him, its erald green eyes filled with intense hatred.
It had been gravely injured by humans and left here to die!
Though Zhou Heng wasn’t the one to hurt it, being human made him an enemy!
It loathed all humans, just like so demon beasts, even if they hadn’t hard humans, were still seen as deadly enemies.
The giant lizard had been lying on the ground to conserve life, but now it rose!
Knowing its ti was short, it wanted to kill as many humans as it could before dying!
"Roar——" the giant lizard let out a dragon-like howl, spewing a pitch-black orb exuding a fierce corrosive odor, rapidly targeting Zhou Heng.
"Furnace!" Zhou Heng slapped the Fire Divine Furnace. With a roar, a fla shot to the sky, transforming into a fire dragon confronting the black orb.
With a sizzling sound, under the flas’ scorching, the black orb instantly vaporized, turning into countless black ashes falling.
"Little reptile, even when your family’s old ancestors, those old dragons, see , they respectfully call master, and you dare to be insolent before !" the Fire Divine Furnace boasted again. Since absorbing that Exotic Fire, it seed more spirited and more annoying.
The giant lizard glared coldly at the Fire Divine Furnace, suddenly swinging its massive, thick tail in a dragon’s tail swipe at Zhou Heng.
The fierce wind howled; this was a peak Milky Way Emperor-level strike!
Zhou Heng operated the Fire Divine Furnace, and with a boom! Boom! Boom! Flas surged out, charging at the giant lizard. Despite the flas’ great power against Lin Xianyang, they barely affected the giant lizard.
Because though the giant lizard was gravely wounded, its physique was truly of the Cot Realm!
Its only weakness was the wound under its belly, where protective scales and thick skin had been blasted open, revealing the flesh beneath, even showing streaks of green liquid, which likely wasn’t its secreted body fluid but poison!
Only potent poison could leave a cot-level demon beast dying, with wounds worsening despite healing efforts!
The beast’s score was as high as five thousand, even with significantly dropped battle power, it wasn’t an easy kill. Only by constantly attacking its wound could it be more hard and eventually end its life.
Yet saying it was easy, doing it was hard!
Fortunately, for Zhou Heng, he didn’t need to target the wound directly. He only needed to focus on the lizard’s head, neck, or chest and unleash the Sky-soaring Nine Forms with the Black Sword, and the giant lizard would be dead!
——Having now entered the Milky Way Realm, even if just the weakest tier, he was confident he could slice open a cot realm demon beast’s flesh and land a fatal strike!
He appeared solemn, the Sky-soaring Nine Forms ready to be unleashed. He needed the Fire Divine Furnace to open a gap for him to swing the sword undisturbed, fully displaying this Chaos Realm cultivation technique!
——For the Black Sword was a Chaos Realm treasure artifact, unlikely to inherit Holy Level techniques!
He launched the sword, celestial imagery erged, slicing towards the giant lizard!
At this mont, chaotic footsteps resounded! (To be continued. If you like this work, please co to Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian to read.)
