Chapter 142: Initial Division of the Three Realms (1/3)

  The first time entering here, when everyone was still confused, they were attacked by a large number of dark-skinned monsters and almost wiped out.

  Zhou Heng is also half-understanding of this world.

  After walking for half a day, he was depressed to find that he hadn't encountered a single demon beast! He came to a place with higher terrain, looked around and saw in the distance piles of people, either three together or five in a row, the most numerous even exceeded twenty people.

  No wonder we can't see any monsters! This place has become a hunting ground, so it's only natural that there are no monster tracks.

  There are indeed many demonic beasts here, but there are even more warriors who have come to this place. Under the siege, it is extremely difficult to find another demonic beast again.

  Isn't it just making trouble for him!

  Zhou Heng couldn't drive these people away, so he had no choice but to unfold his body and continue moving forward.

  There is no distinction between east, south, west and north here. A silver-white moon hangs in the sky forever, unable to distinguish day from night, unable to know the passage of time. Fortunately, after reaching the realm of gathering spirits, warriors are extremely sensitive to time, which is not a problem.

  About three hours later, Zhou Heng finally saw a group of demonic beasts. They were seven giant beasts that resembled water buffaloes, with mottled colors all over their bodies and sharp spikes growing on either side of their bodies.

  First boundary!

  Zhou Heng was overjoyed and without saying another word, he charged out, his black sword dancing like a dragon as it swept towards the seven-headed demonic beast.

  In front of Zhou Heng who had grasped the realm of momentum, these seven demon beasts simply didn't have the power to fight back and were beheaded in just two or three moves, with fresh blood splashing everywhere.

  Zhou Heng carefully observed and attached his spiritual sense to the black sword, wanting to know how it absorbed the power from the demon beast and the warrior's body.

  One head, two heads, three heads!

  He shook his head, completely at a loss. Perhaps the Black Sword's level was too high, and it wasn't something he could grasp at this point! Also, the Black Sword could easily suppress even the divine dragon that represented heaven and earth, so its rank was naturally frighteningly high!

  However, Zhou Heng did make a discovery on the corpse of the demon beast.

  The blood has thinned out!

  These demonic beasts have green blood flowing through their bodies, but after being struck down by the Black Sword, the color of their blood changes from its original deep green to a greyish-green, as if it had lost some sort of component.

  Maybe it's the essence of power, or maybe it's the essence of life.

  Zhou Heng took a look and saw that all seven of the demon beasts' demon cores were intact.

  The demon core is the source of power for the demon beast, equivalent to the dantian of a martial artist. This is also an inner world, which looks like it's only the size of a fist, but if you can cultivate it to the extreme, it also contains a world!

  Zhou Heng somewhat understood that Hei Jian had extracted the essence from the demon beast's body, but it wasn't all of it. At least, it didn't include the demon core. Therefore, even if he killed a demon beast at the Pili boundary, he wouldn't be able to leap thousands of miles and rise several levels in one go!

  Of course, the higher the realm of the martial artist who beheads the demonic beast with the Black Sword, the more benefits he will gain.

  From experience, the power of these seven demon beasts was not enough to push his cultivation accumulation to the peak of the first division of the second heaven, so Zhou Heng did not immediately refine them, but continued to hunt, wanting to make a breakthrough to the third heaven in one go.

  There are too many people here!

  Zhou Heng's luck took a turn for the worse, not that he didn't encounter any more demonic beasts, but either they were in the Gathering Spirit Realm or the Splitting Earth Realm. The former was not even enough to fill his teeth gaps, while the latter was someone he couldn't defeat at present.

  It wasn't until the tenth day that he finally made a comeback in Lishi City, beheading a group of demonic beasts and finally accumulating enough power.

  He flashed into the Nine Xuan Trials Tower.

  "Master, how long has it been since you last visited me!" Lan Fei immediately came forward, her light blue long dress completely outlining her plump and proud figure. What's more, she wasn't wearing any underwear inside, not only were her snow-white arms and legs faintly visible, but also two bright red spots on her chest were clearly visible, while the area between her legs was a tantalizing black.

  When it comes to seducing men, even Xiaoyao Shui is no match for Lan Fei.

  Because Xiao Huishui doesn't need to exert any effort, a glance and a smile can make men infatuated. But Lan Fei is different, among the three thousand beauties in the harem vying for favor, having just a beautiful face is not enough.

  There are many beautiful women in the world. To stand out among the numerous concubines, Consort Lan must have something extraordinary about her!

  She knew that without Zhou Heng's permission, it was absolutely impossible for her to leave this place, and it had been a month since she was abducted. Now, even if she returned to the imperial palace, Nan Gong Hong would definitely think that she had been ravaged - although she had only been with Zhou Heng once.

  She must achieve great merit in order to return; otherwise, the fate that awaits her will be little better than being imprisoned here, and she may even be secretly executed!

  She had to curry favor with Zhou Heng and make him believe that she was willing to be a slave, so that she could find an opportunity to get rid of him and seize the Jiuxuan Trial Tower.

  As a long-term contender for the throne, being hypocritical with enemies is nothing. To know that she can't wait to crush Ying Fei and Yu Fei in her heart, but still be affectionate like sisters in front of these two women, and even serve Nan Gong Hong on the same bed.

  Bang!

  Zhou Heng slapped Lan Fei to the side, he only took in female slaves, naturally not giving Lan Fei a good face. If it weren't for mistakenly recognizing her and having a relationship, he would have killed this ruthless woman long ago.

  He went directly to the second floor. As the master of the Jiuxuan Trial Tower, no one could enter here without his permission.

  With his legs crossed, Zhou Heng began to refine and absorb the power within the Black Sword.

  Surging like the sea, fluctuating like the tides.

  The spiritual power in Dan's body quickly filled up, and the chaotic space was finally fully filled after a little more than half a day, and he could rush into the initial three-layered heaven.

  Zhou Heng's divine consciousness transformed into a human form, holding a black sword and dancing in the dantian space, once again expanding this chaotic world.

  Ling Tian Jiu Shi contains the secrets of heaven and earth, its level far surpasses the initial boundary. Every time Zhou Heng uses Ling Tian Jiu Shi, he has a feeling of enlightenment, communicating with heaven and earth, and even transcending them.

  Wonderful, fantastic!

  Rumbling sounds, the chaotic space continued to tremble violently. Under the driving force of Ling Tian Jiu Shi, the distance between the top and bottom expanded once again.

  I will cut through the nine heavens with my sword!

  The Zhou Heng Chang Xiao Lian Lian, the Dan Tian space continuously expands, expands, and extends, finally solidifying into a fixed shape.

  The first division of the three realms of heaven!

  The spiritual energy of heaven and earth immediately surged forth, washing over Zhou Heng's body, stabilizing his boundary, and further increasing the strength of his physique.

  Half a day later, Zhou Heng stopped, he had already stabilized at the initial threefold heaven.

  He directly flashed out of the Nine Xuan Trial Tower, completely forgetting about Lan Fei's existence.

  He is not averse to women, and occasionally even indulges in them, but his self-control is still quite strong. Unless he encounters someone like Xiao Shuowei, a natural-born beauty, he wouldn't have any thoughts about women even if he didn't touch one for a year.

  As the Small Boundary's power increased, the Three Bloodline Powers once again showed a clear improvement. The Purple Flame and Metal Body both reached the Second Star Earth Spirit Body, while the Azure Dragon Bloodline reached the Fifth Star Heaven Spirit Body!

  He casually plucked a flower, and an eight-colored lotus appeared out of thin air, emitting a kind of dangerous beauty, with a seductive power like a moth flying into flames.

  The Five Elements Lotus Breaking is a ground-level superior martial skill, and the Eight Colors Lotus even if it doesn't reach the level of a top-grade heavenly skill, it's absolutely no problem for it to be a mid-grade heavenly skill. And he is now already at the early third heaven, and also possesses forty times the power of an ordinary early division realm, so if he were to use the Five Elements Lotus Breaking again, even a Splitting Earth Realm expert could be defeated in one move!

  He was eager to find the demon beast of the first rank and have a battle, if he could kill it, then his hunting range would undoubtedly expand greatly.

  Half a day later, he encountered four Thunder Beast of the Splitting Heaven Realm. These were also found outside, but the ones here were somewhat strange, with their entire body being emerald green, unlike the purple-red ones on the outside.

  The demon beasts naturally wouldn't hold back their aura, Zhou Heng estimated that these four Thunder Beasts should all be at the Splitting Heaven and Earth boundary.

  Anyway, with Xunyun's Flowing Light Steps and Jiuxuan's Trial Tower, he killed his way out without hesitation.

  Those four demon beasts were dozing off, and with their divine sense at the level of splitting the earth, they naturally discovered Zhou Heng's invasion more than a hundred feet away. When they found out that Zhou Heng was just an ant in the initial stage of division, they suddenly burst into rage together, constantly spewing green air from their nostrils.

  Humans attach importance to status, if there is a cultivator of the Gathering Spirit Realm who dares to be rude to an Initial Division Realm, they will absolutely suffer a great calamity. How to deal with it depends on the mood of that Initial Division Realm. And in the world of demon beasts, this hierarchical system is even more severe!

  Provoking upwards means death!

  Four Thunder Beasts charged towards Zhou Heng at the same time. The demonic beasts didn't have any so-called face, and in their eyes, Zhou Heng was just prey.

  Zhou Heng, even with his confidence in being able to fight against a Splitting Heaven Realm cultivator, didn't think he could handle four Splitting Heaven Realm demonic beasts at the same time. He hastily activated Swift Cloud Flowing Light Step and charged towards one of the Thunderclap Beasts.

  The eight-colored lotus flower appeared, "Go!" He lightly shouted, and this beautiful, dangerous lotus flower instantly shot towards a Thunder Beast.

  Boom!

  A deafening roar, green mud soared into the sky, and the Thunder Beast was blasted three feet away, with several more bloodstains on its body, but its breath did not weaken, instead it became even more ferocious.

  Zhou Heng's figure flashed horizontally, shooting out from the encirclement of the three-headed Lei Bao beast.

  He furrowed his brow, the power of the eight-colored lotus flower could indeed counter the Splitting Heaven and Earth, but it could only hold its own, unable to gain the upper hand! And under the siege of the four-headed Splitting Heaven and Earth demon beast, he had to maintain the Swift Cloud Flowing Light Step at an extremely high speed, if this continued for a long time, his strength would definitely be depleted.

  If it were one-on-one, he might be able to take down one with all his might, but four... there's no hope!

  What a pity!

  Zhou Heng turned around and ran without hesitation, his figure flashing by in an instant, disappearing into the distance of several miles, then entering the Jiuxuan Trial Tower, where even if these demonic beasts had sharp noses, they would not be able to find him.

  After another half month here, Zhou Heng only beheaded seven first-rank boundary demon beasts and had no other gains. There were simply too many warriors in this place!

  After some thought, Zhou Heng decided to leave. Whether there was a legacy of Jie Tuo or even Hu Shen here was unknown, but it was definitely not something he could touch at present. Rather than thinking about these vague and elusive things, it would be better to focus on improving his own cultivation in a down-to-earth manner.
