Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 689 - 666: The Remains of the Creation Emperor (1/3)

Chapter 689: Chapter 666: The Remains of the Creation Emperor (1/3)

"I am not the least bit curious; I just want to collect two treasures!" Black Donkey said with a distressed face, "Curiosity killed the cat, we better just look around here first!"

"No worries, you’re a donkey, it won’t kill you!" Bing Xiulan giggled.

Zhou Heng walked forward without concern. Though the treasure sword was indeed powerful, firstly, he might not be able to subdue it, and secondly, even if he did manage to subdue it, he might not be able to bring out its full potential, considering his current realm was too weak.

Thirdly, he already had the Hundred Ghosts Sword in his possession, having an additional treasure sword would not likely improve his battle power.

Black Donkey kept looking back; it just couldn’t bear to leave!

It wasn’t only Zhou Heng who had such great resolve; ahead of them, there were others who also resisted the temptation of high-tier Immortal Artifacts, or rather, some were so strong that they didn’t even consider such a damaged Immortal Artifact worth their attention.

In the distance, from time to time, beams of light shot up like lightning, indicating there were still treasure artifacts there!

Tears welled up in Black Donkey’s eyes; this was a true treasure trove, but all it could do was look on! It was like a lascivious man running into a brothel, faced with a bed full of seductive women, only to find out he couldn’t get it up—what a sad predicament.

Ahead, the group suddenly came to a stop.

"They seem to have discovered something!" Zhou Heng said; since these people could resist the temptation of high-tier Immortal Artifacts, whatever made them stop must be extraordinary.

Boom!

Just then, dust exploded into the air as a giant hand suddenly emerged from the ground!

It was a huge white bone hand; just a single finger bone was as big as a high-rise building, and the size of the whole palm was terrifying! Thump, thump, thump—rock and dirt flew as an arm burst through the ground, extending all the way to the shoulder.

The arm rotated, its palm pressing against the ground, causing the whole earth to tremble as a giant skull head emerged from underneath, its white bones chilling, its dark eye sockets suddenly flashing with two ghostly fires.

"Why disturb the eternal slumber of the dead?" The giant skeleton crawled out from underground, its massive form hundreds of feet high, standing like a mountain. But it only had one arm, one leg, and most of its ribs were smashed—it was clear it had suffered extreme damage before its fall.

As the skeleton opened and shut its mouth, the sound did not reach the people’s ears; rather, it was waves of Divine Sense.

Its presence was powerful, yet its realm was also suppressed to Sunshine King!

"Since you’re already dead, why rise again? Continue your eternal slumber!" said an old man with a single horn on his head, robust in stature, his words thundering with domineering force.

He was an expert from the Silver Rhinoceros Clan, his cultivation level at the Sublimation Sovereign, naturally not considering a long-dead skeleton worth his attention.

—Whatever your strength in life, death is like extinguishing a lamp; all must return to dust, to the earth!

"Why disturb the eternal slumber of the dead!" The giant skeleton repeated the same phrase, its palm flipping to simultaneously smack at those people.

Its true form was long dead, but it had been too powerful in life, so powerful that a sliver of unbroken will could still sustain the remaining skeletal carcass! Of course, it could no longer be considered alive, as it retained no living creature’s intelligence.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the people leaped up and dodged in unison; they had clearly recognized the futility of fighting with this skeleton.

Yet the skeleton was so huge that after swiping through the air and following with another sweep, it landed a blow on one of them, sending out a terrifying shockwave and instantly creating ripples in the air.

"Nonsense!" The person who was struck roared; he too was a Sublimation Realm expert, but slightly less powerful, only a Sublimation King. But here, there was no difference between a Sublimation King and a Sublimation Sovereign; both were suppressed to Sunshine King level, and due to inherent talent, a Sublimation King might even be stronger than a Sublimation Sovereign in combat strength.

The previous blow had put him at a not insignificant disadvantage, blood seeping from his body, which made him very angry!

He didn’t want to get entangled with a skeleton, since there would be nothing to gain even if he won, but having taken a loss made it different!

He had to take revenge!

With a fierce howl, he lunged towards the skeleton to launch an attack.

Despite the skeleton’s huge size, it moved with astonishing agility, showing no trace of clumsiness. Its remaining arm unfolded, grabbing, sweeping, pinching, and squeezing at the Sublimation King, stirring up fierce gusts of wind.

The Sublimation King should have reached Eleven Wheels Sun during his Sunshine King phase, as the power he now unleashed did not cross the threshold of a Sunshine Sovereign. However, as a Sublimation King, he naturally mastered highly sophisticated Immortal Techniques, and his battle power erupted in such a way that it could rival a low-tier Sunshine Sovereign.

He was indeed not weak, but the skeleton was even stronger!

This person must have been a Creation Emperor in life, and anyone capable of reaching such a level is surely a prodigious talent, having broken through realm boundaries during their Sunshine King phase! Therefore, even though it was now reduced to white bone and incapable of employing any Immortal Techniques, the power it possessed still broke through to Sunshine Sovereign!

So powerful that reaching the status of a Creation Emperor would leave behind a trace of combat "instinct" even after death. This wouldn’t be enough to struggle against an actual Creation Emperor, but its opponent was not a Creation Emperor but rather a Sublimation King whose realm had been suppressed!

Together, these factors made the White Bone Skeleton’s battle power exceed that of the Sublimation King!

——This is only because we’re here; otherwise, if everyone were free to unleash their full realms, wouldn’t the skeleton transformed from the Creation Emperor be slaughtering the Sublimation Kings like it’s nothing?

"Damn it!" The Sublimation King roared in rage, regardless of how formidable the battle achievements of the skeleton, which was once the Creation Emperor, may have been, the dead transform into ashes, and now it is nothing more than a pile of white bones.

In this special place, he would never allow himself to lose to such a monster!

"Suppress!" He summoned a treasure artifact, a Glazed Pagoda no taller than a foot, jade green throughout, with layers of shimmering light twining around it.

Boom!

As he channeled his power into the artifact, the pagoda spun into motion, positioning itself above the skeleton’s skull, casting down strands of emerald radiance like cascading waterfalls that struck the skeleton’s frame.

Crack, crack, crack!

Immediately, the sound of bones breaking sounded from the skeleton, with countless spiderweb-like fractures appearing on its shoulder and rib bones, as if they were about to shatter!

Everything here is miraculous; as long as it is a "living being," it will certainly be under the suppression of restrictions, and their power and defense cannot exceed that of the Sunshine King. Therefore, although the bones belong to a Creation Emperor, because a strand of will remains, its power and defense can only reach the level of the Sunshine King.

"Why disturb the eternal rest of the dead!" The Divine Sense of the White Bone Skeleton emanated a buzzing noise; it was left with only a strand of obsession, far from having a heart filled with fear. Its instinct for battle made it try to avoid injury as much as possible, its form swayed, attempting to break free from the suppression of the pagoda.

However, under the control of the Sublimation King, the pagoda shadowed every move, continually showering down strands of green radiance, causing the fractures on the skeleton’s bones to widen.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several more figures leaped nearby in haste, totaling four, all immensely powerful Sunshine Kings, each emitting an aura so overwhelming that one could not merely possess strength but also had to have extreme confidence.

Naturally, they also observed the battle ahead, all came to a halt, as such combat was enough to stir their emotions.

"Eh, Brother Zhou?" Just then, a sultry and pleasing voice rang out; one of the four suddenly turned their head to look at Zhou Heng, their face full of surprise.

It was a gorgeously seductive beauty, with an unapproachable demeanor that made people willingly obey her will.

It was indeed Hu Mei!

She wasn’t entirely certain as she eyes Zhou Heng, since he looked too different from what she remembered. She could understand and accept that Zhou Heng might change his appearance, but even with a change, he wouldn’t make himself so much smaller, would he? ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

She was able to recognize Zhou Heng the moment she saw him, purely out of a woman’s intuition, but after calling out Brother Zhou, she started to doubt her senses, unable to connect the young man in front of her with Zhou Heng.

"Miss Hu!" Zhou Heng smiled and greeted her with a fist-and-palm salute.

"Is it really you, Brother Zhou?" Hu Mei was astonished; verification made it all the more incredible to her.

Zhou Heng didn’t want her to dwell on his size and quickly said, "It seems Miss Hu has arrived a bit late!"

"Something came up, so I was delayed, thankfully not by much!" Hu Mei revealed a smile. She had already discarded the idea of recruiting Zhou Heng, but the lineage of the Eternal Evil Venerate was full of prodigies; even if she couldn’t form a close relationship, she couldn’t afford to offend him.

Zhou Heng nodded. Hu Mei’s current aura was much stronger than before, evidently, she had also encountered a great opportunity and taken a crucial step, piercing through the realm barriers, now she was at least an Eleven Wheels Sunshine King!

This made her confidence soar, her alabaster alluring face filled with dazzling charm that further augmented her allure.

Boom!

On the other side, the Sublimation King had thoroughly gained the upper hand, with the radiant glow from the pagoda cascading down, endless pressure mounting, and with a snap, the White Bone Skeleton’s shoulder bone suddenly fragmented, falling apart into two pieces.

"Hahahaha!" The Sublimation King laughed heartily; although the opponent was merely a skeleton, it had indeed once been the most powerful being in the Immortal Realm. Defeating a Creation Emperor, even if it was just its remains, was still exciting!

"Why disturb the eternal rest of the dead!" The White Bone Skeleton seemed unaffected, still emitting a chilling voice. It casually caught the piece of bone that had broken off and struck it towards the Sublimation King.

Splat!

With that blow, the Sublimation King was instantly shattered, turning into a phantom that disappeared!

——He had only entered here with a Dharma Aspect, but that Dharma Aspect had been utterly destroyed by a single strike!

How could this be?

The White Bone Skeleton did not use any powerful Immortal Artifacts or employ any formidable Immortal Laws, so how could it suddenly unleash such terrifying battle power and turn defeat into victory in an instant?

And it was a crushing victory at that! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
