CHAPTER 1136: CHAPTER 1112: ELIXIR COMPLETE (2/3)

The Tianhe light is the absolute nemesis of the Dead Spirits!

In fact, the Path of Wood of the Old Azure Dragon is vibrant with life, while the Shadow Dead Spirits represent absolute death. These two paths are like water and fire, mutually incompatible yet restraining each other.

It’s not that the path of the Old Azure Dragon restrains the Shadow Dead Spirits, but rather that he is too powerful. It’s like what’s a fire against a deluge? Similarly, a cup of water cannot put out a raging wildfire!

But the Tianhe light is different, it is the absolute restraint!

Back when Zhou Heng was merely at the Comet Realm, his Tianhe light could literally burn and meld the body of Black Cave level Dead Spirits, although the sheer strength of the Black Cave Realm allowed them to escape with their lives!

However, now Zhou Heng himself is at the Black Cave Realm, when the Tianhe light appears, even Black Cave Realm Dead Spirits are doomed to instant death!

This is true restraint!

No reasoning needed; it’s instant death upon contact, extinguished in an instant!

A hundred zhang radius is quite a sizable area, and the key point is that Shadow Dead Spirits have no physical form and can be infinitely stacked upon each other. This proves effective against others as it perfectly stacks power and attack might!

But in front of Zhou Heng, this is merely courting death, and a collective one at that!

Under the illumination of the Tianhe light, all Dead Spirits turn to ash!

Under such absolute restraint, even Chaos Realm Dead Spirits can only flee!

However, Dead Spirits only understand the Path of Death and cannot achieve the balance of nine paths, so how could they leap into the Chaos Realm? But, just like the Black Cave King has differences of one or two steps, the strongest Dead Spirit reached thirty steps!

This is extremely terrifying!

Specializing in a single realm achieving thirty steps makes its power at least equivalent to that of the Five Caves True Monarch! Plus, the unique form of the Shadow Dead Spirits undoubtedly makes them even more terrifying!

Luckily, Shadow Dead Spirits achieving thirty steps are pitifully few!

Shadow Dead Spirits enhance themselves through devouring one another; a top-tier Shadow Dead Spirit is amassed by countless base-level Dead Spirits, thus the proportion is naturally scarce.

But this is a Super Death Tide, with the Dead Spirits numbering in the tens of billions, with Black Cave level Dead Spirits numbering in the tens of millions, and at least a hundred thousand reached thirty steps!

The Five Caves True Monarchs are regarded by even Chaos Realm experts; now, with a hundred thousand thirty-step Shadow Dead Spirits, if they came rushing in a pack, even the Old Azure Dragon would be instantly torn to pieces!

Luckily, the death tide surges wave by wave!

But this is inconvenient for Zhou Heng; he even wishes all the Dead Spirits would pile up together, then he could simply illuminate with the Tianhe light and end the death tide altogether.

Now, he must fly swiftly and criss-cross!

"Zhou Heng, we meet again!" He is so impressive, wherever he passes, Shadow Dead Spirits automatically retreat. Figures like Long Suifeng and Long Anye gather around; they have stood alongside Zhou Heng before on the Vermilion Bird Star Domain, naturally aligning themselves with him.

Zhou Heng glanced and noticed these former comrades had all broken through to the Black Cave Realm in their physique, but only Long Suifeng had leapt to the Black Cave Realm in Spiritual Power. After all, Divine Beasts cultivating in Spiritual Power is like humans cultivating in Body Cultivation, the difficulty is significant!

Long Suifeng’s combat was astonishing, as his Black Cave continuously devoured Shadow Dead Spirits!

No wonder his emitted aura felt so evil!

"Hahaha, Zhou Heng, let’s fight our way into the depths of Demon Sea!" Long Shasha is also a battle enthusiast. Her cultivation has surpassed others, breaking through to the Black Cave Realm in both Spiritual Power and physique.

Evidently, Old Azure Dragon gave her special treatment!

She let out a long howl, fully Dragonified!

A beautiful Azure Dragon, surrounded with azure halos around her body, each dragon scale exuding elegance!

The third Azure Dragon!

This is true bloodline regression!

An earth-shatteringly jubilant cheer erupted within the Dragon Clan, the third Azure Dragon’s emergence signifies the destined appearance of a new Chaos Realm expert!

This is enormous good news!

After countless eons, the Dragon Clan is finally about to witness the emergence of a true expert!

Old Azure Dragon did not stop them, for there’s no safer place than beside Zhou Heng in the Demon Sea.

"Kill!" Zhou Heng, being young, as his blood surged, immediately blew the horn of counterattack!

He led the group behind him and counterattacked into the Demon Sea.

If they were to wait for the Dead Spirits to charge forth piece by piece, the battle would last at least over twenty days, but by striking directly, the battle’s conclusion can be significantly hastened.

Since there is no danger, Zhou Heng opted for the radical approach without hesitation.

Blazing a path, striking almost to the bottom of the Demon Sea, until no Shadow Dead Spirits emerged around them anymore, only then did Zhou Heng halt his steps.

"Continue! Continue!" Long Shasha exclaimed excitedly, "Let’s destroy the Demon Sea, then the Shadow Dead Spirits can never appear again!"

With these words, everyone’s face lit up with exhilaration!

If possible, then the Dragon Clan will be completely liberated from now on, and if possible, they will become the greatest heroes in the history of the Dragon Clan, forever recorded on the merit monument of the Dragon Clan!

Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "The Demon Sea is indestructible, at least for now! Let’s go back!"

Although the others were disappointed, they didn’t have the Milky Way Ring, so without Zhou Heng leading them, who would dare to wander around the Demon Sea alone?

Triumphant return!

This was a great victory. Although the Dragon Clan suffered significant casualties, considering the scale of the Super Death Tide, it can still be called a great victory—without Zhou Heng, the death rate of the Dragon Clan would have increased by at least dozens of times!

In terms of lethality against Dead Spirits, Zhou Heng surpassed all the world’s experts, including Saints!

It can be said that even if the Five Saints joined forces, they couldn’t achieve better results than Zhou Heng!

After the Death Tide was quelled, Old Azure Dragon made a decision not only to give Zhou Heng one of his horns but also to accompany him to the Star Domain of the three Divine Beasts to collect all the main ingredients for the fetus-preserving medicine!

Such generosity?

Of course, Old Azure Dragon is not a good person, nor could he be moved to this extent just because Zhou Heng helped once, but because Old Azure Dragon witnessed Zhou Heng’s ability to restrain the Shadow Dead Spirits!

He extended an invitation to Zhou Heng, suggesting that since Zhou Heng had already been expelled by Huo Tian, why not move to the Eternal Dragon Star? At least it could be considered as half a home for Zhou Heng?

As long as Zhou Heng lives on the Eternal Dragon Star, it equates to having a free expert specializing in killing Dead Spirits, and when the Death Tide occurs, Zhou Heng can’t just stand by, can he?

Old Azure Dragon’s plan was excellent, and after some consideration, Zhou Heng agreed, thinking, what’s the difference where he stays? Moreover, the harbingers of the Demon Sea are increasing everywhere, making nowhere truly safe.

Hopefully, no one in the Dragon Clan will be scared to death when they see Hongyue!

With Old Azure Dragon’s help, things became much easier. They transported via Star Gate, and with Old Azure Dragon’s personal escort, it was naturally safe and stable. Seven months later, when they returned to the Eternal Dragon Star, Zhou Heng had collected all the main ingredients for the fetus-preserving medicine.

To smoothly obtain the other three Divine Beast "parts," even Old Azure Dragon paid a considerable price. After all, it wasn’t Huo Tian Hongyue’s personal visit; why would the three truly Old Ancestor-level experts give Zhou Heng any face?

Zhou Heng knew Old Dragon was doing him a favor, so he said he would soon bring his family to the Dragon Domain and then, along with the Black Donkey, headed for the Hundred Dragons Star—Long Shasha insisted on accompanying, as she wanted to meet another idol.

Since Long Shasha had already entered the Black Cave Realm, although Old Azure Dragon was reluctant, he couldn’t say anything. After all, he had previously promised Long Shasha to let her go as long as she reached the Black Cave King level in both Spirit and Body Cultivation.

As the Ancestral Dragon, how could he not keep his word?

Another four months later, Zhou Heng returned to the Hundred Dragons Star with the Black Donkey and Long Shasha. Compared to the previous year it took them to return, this speed was much faster.

Zhou Heng’s return naturally delighted everyone, and Long Shasha finally met another idol, so excited that she jumped up and down, showing none of the Dragon Clan’s little princess’s restraint.

Hongyue personally refined the fetus-preserving medicine. After eighty-one days, the medicine was finally completed.

Once refined, it was naturally taken immediately, but even for Hongyue, it would take a year to fully absorb the medicine’s power, during which she would need to go into seclusion.

Zhou Heng planned to move his people to the Dragon Domain since Old Azure Dragon made a significant sacrifice this time, and this favor must be returned.

Before leaving, he ventured into the Earth Core, reaching the heart of the Hundred Dragons Star.

Here... a tumor-like thing had emerged!

A flesh-red strange substance!

As expected, the harbingers of the Demon Sea were also spreading here!

Zhou Heng’s expression was not pleasant to behold. He went to the cores of several nearby planets, checking one by one, and found the same situation.

The Demon Sea, in the near future, won’t be a headache only for the four Divine Beasts, but a major problem for the entire Bright Realm!

But besides the four Divine Beasts, which other force could guard the Dead Sea alone?

In terms of overall strength, the four Divine Beasts are the best in the Bright Realm, even better than the lineage of the Five Great Saints!

Imagine the vast devastations to living beings at that time!

Zhou Heng believed that heaven had a way for all, but to completely resolve the crisis of the Demon Sea, his strength still needed to be improved several times! The Chaos Realm... probably wouldn’t be enough, he must become a Saint in another way!

After arriving in the Dragon Domain, he would empty the Dragon Clan’s treasury to enhance his Spiritual Power accumulation, as it’s everyone’s responsibility when the world is at stake, and the Dragon Clan certainly should contribute!

Not only the Dragon Clan but also the other three Divine Beasts and other second-tier Divine Beasts; in short, the world was at a critical junction of life and death, and no one could stay out of it!

Zhou Heng, with the Immortal Residence, brought his people and began the great migration.

Another four months later, he arrived at the Eternal Dragon Star, living next door to Old Azure Dragon.

This made Old Azure Dragon so upset he nearly spat blood!

Because the second untouchable person, Little Witch Hongyue, was actually living next door!

Although she was still in seclusion, her faint aura alone made Old Azure Dragon’s face turn green, giving him an urge to dash into the Demon Sea for a battle and die for the country. The Second Ancestor was much wiser, decisively moving out of the Ancestral Dragon Hall that very night.

In fact, Old Azure Dragon wanted to move, too, but he couldn’t as he was the symbol of the Dragon Clan!

Zhou Heng began to scrape the Dragon Clan’s treasury! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
