Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 666 - 643 Luring the Fish to the Door (2/3)
Chapter 666: Chapter 643 Luring the Fish to the Door (2/3)
Zhou had cultivated to the Sublimation King in just four thousand years?
One Sword Breaks the Heavens’ Wu Qi, Cold Frost Young Master Ke En, Thorn Blood Rose Hu Mei, although each could be called a young Supreme, sweeping through the Sunshine Kings undefeated! But how old are they? At least three or four thousand years old!
If these peerless geniuses still needed so many years to break through to the Sunshine King, then how long would it take them to reach the Sublimation King?
At least twenty or thirty thousand years, right?
Twenty or thirty thousand years is not long at all! Since the lifespan of a Sublimation King can reach up to one hundred and twenty thousand years, being twenty or thirty thousand years old is like being in one’s twenties for a regular person, a time of prime youth!
Compared to that, how terrifying and monstrous is a Sublimation King at the age of four thousand?
Zhou Heng nodded and said, "Not bad at all!"
He judged others by himself. Having cultivated for merely ten years, he had already reached the Sunshine King. As long as nothing unexpected happened, it would take at most another ten years to step into the Sublimation King. Therefore, a four-thousand-year-old Sublimation King was nothing unusual to him.
Seeing him speak so lightly, everyone gasped in unison. What kind of creatures were these, where a four-thousand-year-old Sublimation King in Zhou Heng’s mouth could only get a "not bad" rating?
Then what about them, who had spent tens of thousands of years attaining the level of Sunshine King or Sunshine Sovereign? Do they even have the guts to continue existing in this world?
Where did these two fellows pop out from?
Especially that young girl. She couldn’t possibly be bragging, right? A four-thousand-year-old Sublimation King should be extremely famous. How could they have never heard of such a young monarch?
Unless... she came from Juexian City!
Among the Forty-Nine Immortal Cities, Juexian City is a city of mystery and taboo, where even many Creation Sovereigns have only heard of its name but never seen its "elegance"!
Juexian City gathers all the real big shots and the richest resources of the entire Forty-Nine Immortal Cities and is also the most likely place to give birth to a genius who suppresses all others!
If the young girl was from Juexian City, then everything was possible.
"Stop the nonsense, and give this lord some fish!" Black Donkey urged by the side, this cheap donkey only ever shouted to defeat all geniuses and then take the beauties back as maidservants.
"This miss wants to eat fish too!" Bing Xiulan was not a foodie, but she particularly liked joining in the fun. She wanted to snatch some not because she liked it, but because she found it amusing.
Since Zhou Heng had promised, he naturally would not go back on his word. He always felt a bit indebted to Black Donkey and also wanted to see how much his strength could improve after breaking through the Sunshine King.
He went to the lake’s edge. With a thought, Spiritual Power was released and entered the lake.
The Domain opened, and Zhou Heng’s consciousness formed a net, reaching out towards a small clump of Silver Dragon Fish. However, the lake water was far too thick, not only for physical bodies, but for Spiritual Power and Divine Sense as well. The Spirit Net hadn’t even closed when it alarmed the Silver Dragon Fish, who swiftly swam away amid flashing silver lights.
Zhou caught nothing.
"Zhou—you," Black Donkey sighed by the side.
"So useless!" Bing Xiulan also joined in to tease.
Zhou Heng’s face darkened under their scorn. He simply spread his arms wide, conjuring hands as large as houses, and scooped up a large part of the lake water.
However, although he scooped it up, the lake water was extremely viscous. He managed to lift less than a zhang before the pace became painfully slow, entangled by hundreds of strands of water like ropes.
The Silver Dragon Fish seized the opportunity to escape, bouncing back into the lake and even swimming in circles as if mocking Zhou Heng.
"Hahaha!" Both Black Donkey and Bing Xiulan weren’t exactly saintly, rolling on the ground with laughter.
"Laughing to death here, Zhou! To think you were mocked by some little fish!"
"Laughing to death here, this miss has to consider whether to continue taking a closer look at such a useless person!"
Zhou Heng was greatly annoyed. He had "Great Achievement of Divine Skill" and thought the Nine Wheels Sun made him invincible here, yet his initial endeavor ended in a setback, resulting in a significant stumble. His stubbornness kicked in; he simply went for broke, his Spiritual Power hands not dissipating but continuing to lift the lake water.
He was determined to drain the lake!
The Spiritual Power hands continued to lift, but bands of lake water tightly bound it, producing terrifying power that tugged the Spiritual Power hands back.
A smile appeared on Zhou Heng’s lips; he saw this becoming a contest of strength, which sparked a bit of interest in him. He gradually increased his force, continuing to lift with the Spiritual Power hands.
But with each inch raised, the pulling force increased exponentially, forcing Zhou Heng to continue exerting his power.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Behind him, wheels of red sun emerged, releasing terrifying heat as his power climbed towards its peak.

The Spiritual Power hands were lifted to a height of eleven zhang, but the hundreds of strands of water still clung on, preventing any further ascent.
If Zhou Heng wanted, he could continue this way, roughly lasting about two days before his Spiritual Power would be exhausted, but the result would not change.
He had to admit, the idea of draining the lake was too unrealistic.
Withdrawing the Spiritual Power hands, bang, the large patch of lake water returned to where it was, splashing up a large swath of water and also splashing up some Silver Dragon Fish, which shook their heads and wagged their tails at Zhou Heng, brimming over with scorn.
"Zhou, those stinky fish are blatantly despising you, you can’t tolerate this!" Black Donkey incited from the side.
’Yes, I can’t take it!’ Bing Xiulan then played the role of an accomplice.
They also took the opportunity to scorn Zhou Heng, but others who had witnessed the previous scene were still too shocked to come to their senses.
It was not as if they hadn’t tried various methods to get the Silver Dragon Fish, such as the ’foolish idea’ of draining the lake, but they were even worse off, only able to raise the water level by about fourteen to fifteen feet.
Every inch of elevation required double the effort, and the height Zhou Heng raised the water was twice theirs, but was his strength only twice theirs?
Billion of times!
Being both Sunshine Kings, why was the gap so huge?
Not only did the Sunshine King himself admit his inferiority, but even the Sunshine Sovereign was dismayed because in this special place their cultivation level was suppressed to that of a Sunshine King, and fighting Zhou Heng would absolutely mean certain death!
Zhou Heng, however, was unaware that his ’failure’ had also greatly startled everyone around him. He racked his brains: whether it was for Black Donkey or due to the frustration in his belly, he was determined to catch the Silver Dragon Fish—at least a few of them.
Summon the Fire Divine Furnace for a massive barbecue?
But to waste the last use of the Fire Divine Furnace out of spite was really too impulsive!
Silver Dragon Fish... Dragon?
Zhou Heng looked at Bing Xiulan and said, "Are these Silver Dragon Fish born from absorbing dragon blood?"
’Legend says that,’ the young lady responded, contemplating, then added, ’Miss has never eaten or seen them before, how could I be sure!’ ’Legend also says that these fish are exquisitely delicious, even the Creation Emperor used them to treat his guests in prehistoric times!’
Black Donkey’s drool was already slobbering all over the ground, nearly forming a river, impossible to wipe clean.
A delicacy fit for the Creation Emperor!
Zhou Heng chuckled and said, ’I might have a way now!’
’Yeah right, probably just another boast!’ Bing Xiulan scoffed.
People really shouldn’t make a mistake even once, make a mistake once and you’re remembered forever!
Zhou Heng squatted by the lake and smiled, ’I’ll have these Silver Dragon Fish come to me on their own. Do you believe it?’
’Pfft, if these Silver Dragon Fish could come on their own, Miss would... Miss would agree to marry my sister to you!’ The girl was still very sly and cautious, clearly not believing Zhou Heng could do it, but still not willing to risk herself, yet she casually betrayed her sister without even blinking an eye.
Zhou Heng sighed, ’You look very safe, you really don’t need to be so cautious!’
’Despicable guy, I thought you were quite honest at first, but I didn’t expect you to be so unreliable!’ Bing Xiulan huffed.
Zhou Heng took out that piece of dragon scales, according to what the Fire Divine Furnace said, the blood on it came from a True Dragon!
Since the Silver Dragon Fish were born from absorbing dragon blood, they would definitely crave it!
Trial once and it will be evident.
Zhou Heng placed the dragon scale into the lake water. Although the Dragon Blood didn’t seem to dilute, the lake water seemed to boil as all the Silver Dragon Fish rushed over frantically!
Just like sharks that smelled blood!
Black Donkey, Bing Xiulan, and everyone nearby were dumbfounded!
What kind of magic was this?
Zhou Heng casually reached out, and one by one, he pulled up the Silver Dragon Fish onto the shore, ten, thirty, eighty!
It wasn’t until about a hundred Silver Dragon Fish were caught that they became alert and stopped charging forward, but they were still reluctant to leave and swam nearby.
Zhou Heng, satisfied with his catch for now, temporarily put away the dragon scale and decided to eat this batch of spoils of war.
’What a harvest!’ Black Donkey jumped in excitement, then, irritated with envy, suddenly jumped and grabbed Zhou’s neck, ’You little rascal, you said you didn’t get any good stuff, if this isn’t good stuff I’ll eat it! Hand it over quickly, to compensate me for my emotional distress!’
Bing Xiulan, biting on a finger and tilting her head in thought, suddenly clapped her hands and exclaimed, ’Miss understands now, it must be the dragon blood! Only dragon blood could attract these Silver Dragon Fish so irresistibly!’
Zhou Heng didn’t reply, preserving the secrecy of the True Dragon Blood was essential, he would never admit anything.
’Time to eat fish!’
When there were benefits to be had, Black Donkey wouldn’t be lazy. He quickly pulled out pots and pans from his Space Artifact, started a fire by the lake, and began cooking the hundreds of cleaned Silver Dragon Fish.
Soon, an enticing aroma spread out, and just smelling it made everyone’s Spiritual Power surge as if they were about to ascend to immortality!
The people around were red-eyed staring at the huge pot filled with Silver Dragon Fish, wishing they could claim it as their own!
But recalling that Zhou Heng had slain a Sublimation King’s Dharma Aspect when he was just under the Sunshine Sovereign, and had now even advanced past that, who would dare to test his combat power?
Martial Artists were willing to risk their lives for power, but if they knew it was certain death, who would commit such a foolish act?
After salivating for a long while, they returned to catching Silver Dragon Fish, which was better than standing idly by. (Continued.
