CHAPTER 845: CHAPTER 821: PEERING INTO THE SECRET OF THE STAR (2/3)

In contrast, Zhou Heng was able to contend with the Dragon Emperor when he was just a Creation King. Now, having advanced to a Seven Aspects Bright Immortal, his strength has multiplied countless times. Though the power of the Five Elements Rune hasn’t improved as drastically, it’s still more than tenfold!

One used only a small portion of their power out of disdain, while the other saw a great boost in power and used all they had. If Wang Youyue could still easily withstand it, that would indeed be unreasonable!

However, a Star King is still a Star King. Even with power suppressed to the level of ninety-nine Divine Aspects, it remains terrifying. Zhou Heng, aside from not using the Black Sword, had indeed given his all in that strike, yet he couldn’t even make the opponent cough up blood!

His battle with Wang Youyue was, in fact, to use her as a test subject to see if he had any chance of killing the Dragon Emperor with a single blow!

The result was not to his satisfaction.

He was merely dissatisfied, while Wang Youyue was nearly shocked out of her wits!

What is happening!

Her strike not only failed to suppress Zhou Heng but almost made her cough up blood herself. This was too outrageous!

That was the power of Thirty Aspects!

In this shattered Immortal Realm, the level of Spiritual Energy has plummeted, and Holy Medicine is scarce. Even those with outstanding talent can only barely reach Nine Aspects Bright Immortal, then break through to the Stellar Realm and ascend directly to the Bright Realm! Ten Aspects, Twenty Aspects Bright Immortal? Ridiculous, you’d only see that in the Bright Realm!

She thought that the power of Thirty Aspects would be enough to suppress Zhou Heng completely! She didn’t even intend to kill Zhou Heng, just teach him a lesson, but unexpectedly, it was she who got taught a lesson by Zhou Heng!

This guy is extraordinary!

"Heavenly Scripture?" Wang Youyue’s beautiful eyes flickered, and she spat out two words from her red lips.

Those who possess the Heavenly Scripture can become supreme experts in a realm, and collecting all the Heavenly Scriptures of a realm allows one to be invincible in that realm! Otherwise, how could a mere Seven Aspects Bright Immortal resist the power of Thirty Aspects?

The Wang Family is a renowned family in the Bright Realm. Though Wang Youyue isn’t a key figure in cultivation, she is not unfamiliar with this fact.

Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "That’s right! Miss Wang, please return. Not only will I continue to oppose the Dragon Emperor, but I’ll also find a chance to slay him. So you might as well save your words!"

Wang Youyue’s pretty face turned red. Was this rascal flirting with her? Spit, on him! She snorted, "The family granted you the Heavenly Scripture, which is a great show of trust. How can you betray the family’s expectations?"

Zhou Heng laughed heartily, "Miss Wang, I think you’re misunderstanding something. I never claimed to have any connection with your Wang Family!"

Wang Youyue was furious. How dare this guy say such ungrateful words? But then she realized, Zhou Heng indeed had never acknowledged any relationship with the family. It was just because she mentioned "Heavenly Profundity," and he responded with "Spirit Crystal," that she assumed he was sent by the family or was a developing ’native’ retainer in the Immortal Realm.

Was this a misunderstanding?

But this rascal must have known she was mistaken and yet didn’t correct her, which was extremely abominable!

No wonder Zhou Heng dared not to listen to her!

Once she understood, Wang Youyue became even more enraged. This rascal had clearly been deceiving her since Sunshine Emperor!

Such audacity!

"You are so audacious to impersonate a member of my Wang Family!" Wang Youyue said frostily.

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t falsely accuse me. When did I ever say that I was a member of the Wang Family?" Zhou Heng spread his hands, looking very innocent.

This rascal, how loathsome!

Wang Youyue was filled with rage, thrusting out her delicate hand to strike Zhou Heng once more.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zhou Heng fought back unyieldingly. This was an excellent opponent, just right for calculating the Dragon Emperor’s strength.

The two engaged in a fierce battle. This time, Wang Youyue unleashed her true strength, exhibiting battle power that was unbelievably strong. Her hand opened, and it seemed as if gigantic stars were falling from the sky, each able to crush a Bright Immortal, instilling boundless terror!

This is the power of a Star King!

From Bright Immortal to Star King, it is the process of transforming the Divine Aspects into inner space stars. However many Divine Aspects one has, corresponds to the number of stars at breakthrough.

Like Immortals, the more Moon Wheels, Sun Wheels, Dharma Aspects, and Divine Aspects one possesses, the deeper the accumulation of Spiritual Power. The Stellar Realm is no different, the more stars, the greater the power naturally possessed.

Since only Nine Aspects Bright Immortals are qualified to assault the Stellar Realm, the weakest Star King can have nineteen stars, and the upper limit... can reach ten thousand!

The Stellar Realm is similarly divided into three minor realms, using the number of stars as the basis for division.

From the lowest of nineteen stars to ninety-nine stars, this is called the Ten Stars Realm, and one is a Star King. From one hundred stars to nine hundred ninety-nine stars, this is called the Hundred Stars Realm, and one is a Star Sovereign. Finally, from one thousand stars to nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine stars, this is called the Thousand Stars Realm, and one is a Star Emperor.

As for ten thousand stars, that’s called the Ten Thousand Stars Realm, also known as the Perfection Realm.

Generally speaking, after entering the Thousand Stars Realm, increasing the number of stars to four thousand allows an assault on the next Great Realm, without necessarily needing to form nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine stars, or even a perfect ten thousand stars!

In fact, in the Bright Realm, there has never been heard of anyone reaching the Great Perfection Realm; it is merely a legend.

Zhou Heng learned this information from several Dragon Sovereigns, but the four Dragon Sovereigns themselves are only Bright Immortals, with a considerable distance to breakthrough, so they only know the basics. As for how strong the Star King’s battle power is, they are not aware.

Zhou Heng used Wang Youyue to ponder the mysteries of the Stellar Realm.

——Although Wang Youyue’s power was suppressed to the Eighty-Nine Aspects Bright Immortal, her essence is that of a Star King, and there is a hint of energy that does not belong to the Immortal Realm radiating from her, supreme and lofty!

This strand of power is as thin as silk, but if Zhou Heng did not master the Heavenly Scripture, this strand-like power would undoubtedly cut him into two, then into four, then eight, until no complete part could be found!

Power of the Stellar Realm!

No, this is definitely not the power of the Stellar Realm, but... laws!

Yes, laws. Power above the Bright Immortal cannot exist in the Immortal Realm; this could only be the Power of Laws!

However, this Power of Laws surpasses the power of the Bright Immortal, comparable to the Blood River Heavenly Scripture and the Green Wood Heavenly Scripture, but far inferior to the Five Elements Rune! Precisely because of this, Wang Youyue or the Dragon Emperor can easily erase the life of a Bright Immortal, but against Zhou Heng, it has no effect!

In fact, if it weren’t for Wang Youyue’s power being far above Zhou Heng, she would have been suppressed by the Five Elements Rune long ago!

Zhou Heng benefited greatly!

When confronting the Dragon Emperor, he was in a disadvantaged position and had no mind to experience the mysteries of the Stellar Realm, but now it is different. He is at ease, able to experience carefully, and insights arise from time to time.

Due to the limitation of resources in the Immortal Realm, Zhou Heng does not plan to pursue the Ninety-Nine Divine Aspects but intends to break through to the Star King after reaching the acme in the Immortal Realm.

The reason why people in the Immortal Realm try to suppress their cultivation level, forming more Moon Wheels and Divine Aspects before breaking through to the next realm, is because the better the foundation, the higher the starting point after breakthrough. For example, when Zhou Heng breaks through, he will at least be a Nine Wheels Moon and Eight Dharma Aspects.

——Forming two Waning Moons in the Moonlight King is much easier than forming one Half Moon in the Moonlight Sovereign.

But this is the opposite when advancing from Bright Immortal to Star King.

Because forming a Divine Aspect as a Bright Immortal is not any easier than a Star King forming a Star! Especially in this broken Immortal Realm, where are there so many Holy Medicines to support Bright Immortals in constantly forming more Divine Aspects?

On the contrary, the level of the Stellar Realm, although much higher than Bright Immortal, is considered the lowest in the Bright Realm. The resources needed by a Stellar Realm martial artist are not too precious and are much easier to obtain than Holy Medicines in the Immortal Realm, such as the Seven Stars Fruit.

Considering all these, Zhou Heng decided that the sooner he breaks through to the Stellar Realm, the better.

Wang Youyue happens to allow him to glimpse into the secrets of the Stellar Realm.

For him, she is an unbelievably perfect opponent, making him constantly gain insights, having no desire to end this battle.

But it is apparent that Wang Youyue does not feel the same.

This woman suddenly let out a long howl, her figure sprang up, opening a distance of at least a hundred zhang from Zhou Heng. She looked at Zhou Heng coldly, with an indescribable sorrow and indignation on her face, but what could she do if she couldn’t overpower Zhou Heng?

"Zhou Heng, if I find you using my Wang family’s name to deceive and swindle, I will surely kill you!"

After saying this, she let out another long howl, her figure flickered, and she disappeared without a trace.

Zhou Heng shrugged. He had never planned to use the Wang family’s name for anything anyway.

Now, only the major trouble of the Dragon Emperor remains. After settling him, he could go to the Mortal Realm to bring his parents and others to the Immortal Realm. By then, he would be close to ascending to the Bright Realm. Oh, there is still one big trouble!

Hong Yue!

If she doesn’t ascend to the Bright Realm earlier, she will inevitably collide with Huo Tian. What a terrifying conflict that would be then?

Zhou Heng does not believe he has the ability to stop these two women from fighting!

——He has mastered the Five Elements Rune, but has no clue about the Bone Talisman once imprinted on his forehead, and that is just a fragment of the rune, merely one of Huo Tian’s two hundred and six runes!

If Hong Yue truly is Huo Tian’s mortal enemy, to be hated so deeply by Huo Tian, Hong Yue’s strength must certainly be in the same league as Huo Tian’s!

How could their battle allow Zhou Heng to intervene!

Zhou Heng sighed long; he had already stood at the peak of a realm twice, yet could only gaze at Huo Tian from afar, which truly gave him immense pressure!

Fortunately, among the Three Realms, the Bright Realm is the last one; only one realm remains for him to conquer!

This trouble is impossible to solve no matter how much Zhou Heng tries, without even a clue! Therefore, he simply does not think about it.

Instead, he focuses on the troubles he can resolve.
