CHAPTER 840: CHAPTER 816 BATTLE DRAGON EMPEROR (2/2)

The mysterious Dragon Emperor has finally appeared!

He is tall and imposing, standing a whole head above the average person. His thick black hair shimmers with a jade-like luster. His features are handsome, exuding an innate noble aura.

But even more astonishing is the royal aura he developed postnatally, like a mortal world’s emperor, instantly causing a tumult in one’s heart and involuntarily inducing a strong sense of reverence.

His gait is like a dragon, his steps like a tiger’s; every step he takes leaves behind a shadow of a heavenly dragon, bearing the momentum of the Supreme.

Such a person truly has the charisma to make countless experts pledge their loyalty!

"Little one, you have lucked out, managing to collect a Realm Heavenly Scripture!" The Dragon Emperor said lightly, but his voice was like thunder, resonating in everyone’s ears!

Even the Bright Immortals with Nine Aspects can’t help but feel a shivering sensation beyond words; it is an instinctive reverence for high-tier martial artists!

This Dragon Emperor is the Star King!

What, this kid actually possesses a Realm Heavenly Scripture?

Any single volume of a Heavenly Scripture is enough to make people fight to the death for it; what kind of concept is it to collect a whole Realm Heavenly Scripture?

No wonder this guy could slay thirteen Bright Immortals with one sword; it turns out he collected a Realm Heavenly Scripture! Although no one knows what kind of significant enhancement comes with collecting a Realm Heavenly Scripture, it doesn’t stop their wild imaginations.

Zhou Heng brandished the Black Sword, saying, "For your selfish desires, you initiated such a war, causing so many innocents to lose their lives because of you!"

"Hahaha, mere ants, what does it matter how many die?" the Dragon Emperor said with disdain, "You, having collected a Realm Heavenly Scripture, are qualified to be this Emperor’s servant, now submit quickly!"

"Nonsense!" Zhou Heng shouted, facing the Dragon Emperor with a punch, from which a golden light emanated as he activated the Five Elements Rune!

Strike the horse before the man, capture the king before the thief; as long as the Dragon Emperor is defeated, the star pirate invasion would be leaderless, and this battle naturally would dissipate without a trace! He bears no fondness for Juexian City, but Bing Xiulan and her sisters are still there, and the Dongguo Family has a decent relationship with him, so his bias is obvious.

The Dragon Emperor smiled indifferently, raising his palm to meet the attack.

Roar!

An azure heavenly dragon emerged behind him, its roar ascending tens of thousands of feet high. Its form was by no means inferior to Zhou Heng’s Purple Flame Heavenly Dragon, but its authenticity was much higher. Waves of dragon might rippled out, forcing countless people to bow down, including the Bright Immortals, with only a handful of high-tier Bright Immortals able to barely withstand it.

Among the four Divine Beasts, the Azure Dragon belongs to water, also known as the Canglong!

His dragon shadow is the most authentic Azure Dragon, signifying the purity of his bloodline is indeed far above that of the Blue Dragon Empress and the other three women. Therefore, he is an Emperor, while the Blue Dragon Empress and others can only be emperors!

The Dragon Emperor sent forth a palm, conjuring a majestic flood that rolled up a thousand-foot-high wave, simultaneously advancing toward Zhou Heng with immense momentum.

Bang!

The golden runes collided with the giant wave, unleashing dazzling brilliance as terrifying power spiraled wildly.

After a considerable time, this brilliance finally dispersed, revealing the two towering figures standing proudly.

Zhou Heng! Dragon Emperor!

So powerful! Both individuals are so powerful!

The Dragon Emperor’s might only ever existed in rumors; as the mastermind of this star pirate invasion against the Forty-Nine Immortal City, if he didn’t possess some real prowess, who would follow his orders?

No matter how many benefits he promises, what’s the use? Without sufficient strength to protect them, they will be devoured entirely!

But how strong is the Dragon Emperor truly? No one knows!

However, with Zhou Heng able to cut down thirteen Bright Immortals in one strike, his battle power is materially formidable! Now, with the Dragon Emperor effortlessly neutralizing Zhou Heng’s blow, one can easily infer the terrifying strength of the Dragon Emperor!

Zhou Heng’s expression turned solemn, as this was the first opponent capable of withstanding a blow from his Five Elements Rune!

Without a doubt, this Dragon Emperor is absurdly powerful!

Of course, this is also because Zhou Heng’s cultivation realm is only that of a Creation King; if he had reached the level of a Bright Immortal, the power of the Five Elements Rune would at least multiply several times, truly becoming invincible across realms!

The opponent is not a Bright Immortal; his true cultivation is that of a Star King, yet even after being suppressed upon entering the Immortal Realm, he can still unleash the power of ninety-nine Divine Aspects!

This is the force that crushes the star pirates and every Bright Immortal in Juexian City, resisting the Five Elements Rune!

The Blue Dragon Empress and the other two were shocked; they had thought Zhou Heng could undoubtedly slay the Dragon Emperor with ease, but didn’t expect the Dragon Emperor’s strength to far surpass their imagination!

The Dragon Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, revealing his domineering presence. He smiled faintly at Zhou Heng, saying, "How is the strength of this Emperor?"

"Zhou Heng, why not surrender to the Dragon Emperor, my lord!" Feng Zidu rose from the ground. In just over a year it had been impossible for him to regain the lost Divine Aspect, yet the power of a Six Aspect Bright Immortal was still incredibly astounding.

"Submit quickly!" Eight more soared into the air, with Zhantai Gujin among them. Counting Feng Zidu, there were precisely nine people, unmistakably the so-called Nine Heavens General under the Dragon Emperor.

Zhou Heng burst into laughter, saying, "Even now as just a Creation King, I can stand toe-to-toe with you. What right does the so-called Dragon Emperor have to make me submit? Go cultivate for another hundred and eighty years!"

"Insolent!" the Nine Heavens General shouted simultaneously.

"False Dragon Emperor, release my second and fourth sisters at once!" The Golden Dragon Empress and the other two Dragon Sovereigns rose into the sky, shouting at the Dragon Emperor.

"Even lower-grade Dragon Clan dares to be presumptuous with this emperor?" The Dragon Emperor’s gaze shifted, an infinite might circulating around him. Suddenly, he reached out toward the three Dragon Sovereigns, a terrifying aura shattering the space.

Zhou Heng slashed out with his sword, golden runes circulating, cutting toward the Dragon Emperor’s hand.

Bang!

The void shook again; this was a confrontation of power and laws, resulting in an even match!

Zhou Heng already knew from the Sky-soaring Nine Forms that power and laws belong to two different domains, and one cannot simply say which one is stronger. Moreover, the two are not completely opposed; laws can amplify power, and power can also enhance laws, complementing each other.

He had always been unsure about the true power of the Five Elements Runes, but through battling the Dragon Emperor, he finally understood that the power of his current Five Elements Runes was equivalent to a Bright Immortal with over eighty Aspects!

—He felt the Dragon Emperor still had reserves of strength, so the power of the Five Elements Runes needed to be estimated more conservatively.

It’s not that the Five Elements Runes couldn’t destroy an entity with ninety-nine Divine Aspects. The key point is that Zhou Heng’s realm is indeed still a bit low. If he could break through to Bright Immortal, then his power would surge by billions of times. Although the Five Elements Runes couldn’t increase by that many times in power, increasing by a dozen times would certainly be no problem!

"Zhou Heng, submit to this emperor, and within a year, this emperor can take you to ascend to the Bright Realm, nurturing you with the resources of the Dragon Clan!" the Dragon Emperor said to Zhou Heng, his voice booming with supreme might.

"No need for your concern. I will ascend to the Bright Realm whenever I want, no need for handouts from others!" Zhou Heng let out a long howl, his figure lunging forward, attacking the Dragon Emperor.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two engaged in a great battle, one possessing power close to the Immortal Realm’s limit, and the other possessing the highest laws of the Immortal Realm. This was a clash of the Immortal Realm’s peak power and laws, and even a single aftershock had the power to severely injure a Bright Immortal!

Zhou Heng went all out, as he could only operate the complete state of the Five Elements Runes twenty times. Thus, every strike was delivered with a determination for mutual destruction.

The Dragon Emperor was even more powerful than he imagined!

As he predicted earlier, the opponent was not fighting with full force, but under his relentless pressure, they eventually had to unleash their strength. After all, the Five Elements Runes were not easy to deal with, and not using full strength would be like a blind person walking on a cliff, extremely dangerous.

The Bright Immortals from Juexian City were no fools. Upon seeing the greatest threat being held off by Zhou Heng, they all leaped into the air and joined the battle alongside Zhou Heng, facing off against the Nine Heavens General.

Ultimately, an ultra-top-level battle erupted!

As numerous Bright Immortals from Juexian City joined the fight, the strong forces on the side of the starry sea marauders naturally also emerged, including the Green Dragon Empress and Black Dragon Empress who had never appeared. But as soon as they appeared they were blocked by the three Dragon Empresses, keeping outsiders from interfering.

Zhou Heng was fighting the Dragon Emperor alone, their level of battle was too advanced. If you weren’t a Bright Immortal with over fifty Aspects, you simply didn’t even qualify to interfere!

Truly powerful!

Zhou Heng said to himself, the Five Elements Runes were undeniably formidable, but the Dragon Emperor’s strength wasn’t just at the level of ninety-nine Divine Aspects. He was also a member of the Dragon Clan! And with an exceedingly pure bloodline at that!

As the Dragon Might erupted, the Dragon Emperor could even unleash attacks at the Star King level, forcibly shattering space and creating chaotic space currents!

The Five Elements Runes couldn’t possibly take out this guy!

—At least not now!

On the other hand, the Dragon Emperor was also shocked that Zhou Heng could entangle himself for so long! How could this lad’s power withstand so many operations of the Five Elements Runes? With his strength, he could clearly see Zhou Heng’s accumulation of spiritual power and how much spiritual power each use of the Five Elements Runes consumed!

In his estimate, Zhou Heng could at most use the Five Elements Runes consecutively over twenty times, but now the opponent had already executed fifty rounds of Five Elements Runes, and not a single one had weakened in power!

What was going on? Didn’t see him consuming pills to replenish spiritual power!

He would never have thought that Zhou Heng had a Black Sword that could absorb Life Essence Qi!

Previously, Zhou Heng had killed thirteen Bright Immortals; if this Life Essence Qi were used to enhance his cultivation level, it could at least allow him to gain five more Divine Aspects! And if it were only used to replenish consumption, it could fully support Zhou Heng in unleashing a thousand, even more, operations of the Five Elements Runes!

He had the capital to endure the battle!

But neither the Dragon Emperor nor Zhou Heng wanted to drag it out; both aimed to resolve the opponent as quickly as possible!

The Dragon Emperor’s original goal was to acquire the lost Bright Realm Heavenly Scripture that had drifted to this realm, but now that Zhou Heng also possessed a fused version of the Immortal Realm Heavenly Scripture, he wouldn’t mind taking it along for research.

This required killing Zhou Heng first!

His previous words of recruitment were completely to deceive Zhou Heng; once he acquired the lost Bright Realm Heavenly Scripture, he would immediately return to the Bright Realm. At that time, his battle power would soar, suppressing Zhou Heng as if it were child’s play!

Unfortunately, Zhou Heng didn’t fall for it! (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to go to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it and support it with your monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
