Chapter 10: Fierce Battle with Ye Guyu (2/3)
Ye Guyu launched another fierce attack, with runes glowing in his hands, matching his cold demeanor, he seemed like a demon god, with an aura that defied the heavens.
He was not a Martial King, nor the Overlord of Martial Arts, but he was of the Dragon Clan. Although his bloodline concentration was not high, growing up in the Dragon's Nest, he naturally possessed Dragon Might.
This was a presence similar to that of a Martial King, causing opponents to defeat themselves without battle, their confidence plummeting.
In terms of presence, he was slightly influenced by Zhou Heng, but almost no battle power was lost. After all, he was a whole Great Realm higher than Zhou Heng, and Dragon Might was not just for show.
As such, it was a battle of pure strength between the two.
Ye Guyu was truly formidable. Although he only had a Comet-level Treasure Artifact, in his hands, it could unleash full power, completely suppressing Zhou Heng, who wielded the Five Artifacts alone!
Zhou Heng was like a lone boat in the vast ocean, at any moment about to capsize and perish!
Yet, he held onto a single breath without breaking, causing others to marvel! But no one was optimistic about him, because for Zhou Heng to operate five Treasure Artifacts simultaneously to contend with Ye Guyu, what a consumption that must be?
To unleash the power of the Comet Sovereign using Black Cave-level and Chaos-level Treasure Artifacts was an enormous expenditure for a Milky Way Emperor, even a Great Perfection-level Milky Way Emperor might not last several hours!
Would Zhou Heng be a Great Perfection Milky Way Emperor? Ye Guyu and Li Yuncong both shook their heads, but Lin Xianyang thought it was highly possible because Zhou Heng had reached Great Perfection at the Stellar Realm, and he might do so at the Milky Way Realm as well.
But even if it were Great Perfection, so what, at most he could sustain for half a day, then his Spiritual Power would be exhausted, and he would be at the mercy of others!
Lin Xianyang hesitated whether to invite his father out to kill everyone and seize these five Black Cave-level Treasure Artifacts—he didn't know about the Chaos Realm.
But he quickly gave up on the idea because his father was the Black Cave Sovereign, and although he was not present, how could he be unaware of what was happening here under his Divine Sense's coverage?
Since his father did not make a move, it meant he had made a decision, and he couldn't disturb his father's plan.
Just watch quietly and see what happens.
Everyone guessed the final outcome—Zhou Heng would struggle to support but eventually had to regrettably lose due to exhausted Spiritual Power!
Yet no one underestimated Zhou Heng because his opponent was a Comet Emperor, at least a ninety-star Comet Emperor!
Losing, yet with honor intact!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fierce battle continued: one hour, two hours, three hours, five hours!
Zhou Heng showed no sign of exhaustion; instead, he grew braver the longer he fought, slowly reclaiming his disadvantage. Although not very obvious, it was happening bit by bit.
How could this be possible!
Lin Xianyang and Li Yuncong were both bewildered. Was Zhou Heng's supply of Spiritual Power bottomless? Could even nine hundred and ninety-nine Milky Ways accumulate such terrifying Spiritual Power?
Of course not!
But they didn't know Zhou Heng had formed a Star Vortex, and although he had now reached Great Perfection of nine hundred and ninety-nine Milky Ways, he only needed a short eight hours to replenish his Spiritual Power!
To exhaust Zhou Heng?
Completely impossible!
Theoretically speaking, even if a Saint suppressed their cultivation to fight a long battle with Zhou Heng, there would come a day when the Saint's Spiritual Power would be drained, and Zhou Heng would defeat them!
As long as the rate of Spiritual Power consumption did not exceed that of the Star Vortex's replenishment, Zhou Heng could keep fighting like this until the end of time, until the seas ran dry and the stones crumbled.
Ye Guyu wanted to exhaust Zhou Heng? The only possibility was to exhaust himself first!
From the scene, after five hours of fierce battle, his Spiritual Power began to weaken! The most crucial detail was that he couldn't block the Sunset Bow; every time he was hit by an arrow, which was equivalent to a strike from the Comet Sovereign, although it couldn't pierce his defense, after taking three or four arrows, he had to maneuver Spiritual Power to neutralize the injuries. Otherwise, small wounds would become fatal!
Once or twice was insignificant, but over time, the accumulated Spiritual Power consumption increased greatly.
Ye Guyu's power was declining, while Zhou Heng remained ominously stable, like a mountain, like the ocean!
If the fight continued like this, the final victor would be... Zhou Heng!
After ten hours, Ye Guyu's power had at least fallen by twenty percent, whereas Zhou Heng was just as before, with not even the slightest hint, not the slightest change!
Lin Xianyang and Li Yuncong's faces had long since changed color; this was an outcome they had never imagined.
However, Lin Xianyang immediately sneered inwardly, it didn't matter; if Zhou Heng killed Ye Guyu, he would still provoke experts from the Dragon Domain, who would be able to kill Zhou Heng all the same.
"Ye Guyu, isn't that enough?" Li Yuncong said from the side. Although he didn't agree with Ye Guyu's approach, as a fellow Dragon Domain person, he didn't want to see Ye Guyu's defeat either; it hurt more than just Ye Guyu's face.
"Bullshit, I must kill him!" Ye Guyu said, eyes red. His chest had been hit by at least tens of thousands of Zhou Heng's arrows, and although he was constantly using Spiritual Power to neutralize them, the pain was still excruciatingly bitter, even leaving not-so-minor injuries.
To him, this was an absolute humiliation!
So, he abandoned the plan to capture this "Heaven-Blessed One" as a servant and decided to directly obliterate this insignificant person who dared to slight him!
"Die!" Ye Guyu roared, Dragon Might surging from his body, as dragon scales appeared, transforming completely into a Green Divine Dragon!
He activated the Bloodline Power, unleashing his strongest battle power!
This could only be sustained for a short while and would accelerate Spiritual Power consumption a hundredfold, yet the power would increase correspondingly hundredfold as well!
Ye Guyu had transformed into a three hundred zhang long Green Dragon. Under the suppression of the Bright Realm's heavenly dao, a dragon body three hundred zhang long was extremely terrifying because the likes of the Five Dragon Sovereigns could only transform into a zhang-long small dragon, which, by comparison, was more like a water snake.
Boom!
He slashed down with a claw, a green light sphere condensed on the dragon claw, flickering with countless runes, inducing an inexplicable fear at first glance.
This attack, I can't block it!
Zhou Heng immediately had this thought, and right at that moment, the dragon claw, along with the light sphere, had already hammered down overwhelmingly!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The terrifying might overflowed, causing the entire Lin Mansion to shake violently, wave after wave of shock waves surged out, row after row of houses instantly collapsed and shattered, as if they had never existed.
After this battle, the entire Grand Marshal's Mansion would likely be utterly destroyed as well.
Lin Xianyang was indifferent, thinking it would be best if Zhou Heng was blasted to death directly, and he wouldn't mind killing Ye Guyu in return, which would inevitably provoke someone from the Dragon Domain to come and annihilate Zhou Heng.
For Zhou Heng, this was an unsolvable trap!
As long as Zhou Heng died, it would be fine!
The dust was billowing, with violent spiritual power overflowing, cutting off divine sense. If anyone dared to boldly trespass, their divine sense would surely be shredded to pieces.
Even Comet-level experts like Li Yuncong and Lin Xianyang didn't dare to recklessly extend their divine sense, and could only wait quietly for the dust to settle.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind swept through, making the scene clear immediately.
The Green Dragon, into which Ye Guyu had transformed, floated in the air, with another green light sphere condensed on his right claw. Opposite him, Zhou Heng stood proudly, although blood oozed from his head and chest, his body was as straight and firm as a mountain.
Yet a layer of gray-white appeared on his body, as if having a layer of stone skin.
Essence Stone Origin Liquid!
Zhou Heng's own abilities could no longer neutralize Ye Guyu's strike after activating his Bloodline Power, so activating the Essence Stone Origin Liquid still shook him until his skin bled, but nevertheless, he managed to block it.
"Fight again!" Zhou Heng's eyes flashed brightly, his fighting spirit soaring, even with a bit of regret that Ye Guyu wasn't strong enough to push him to his limits, thereby breaking through to the Great Perfection Realm and forming a Thousand-Path Milky Ways!
"How many more hits can you take from me?" Ye Guyu sneered, pushing out the green light sphere in his claw without hesitation.
He wasn't stupid enough to waste time bantering with an enemy instead of going for the kill.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wave after wave of shock waves overflowed, the entire Grand Marshal's Mansion was already in ruins and couldn't be used again after the fight. However, the shock waves were limited to the Grand Marshal's Mansion and couldn't overflow beyond.
Clearly, the Grand Marshal had acted secretly, controlling the scale of the battle.
But since he obviously had such capabilities, why didn't he preserve the Grand Marshal's Mansion entirely? Even as a Black Cave King, swallowing the residual shock waves of a Comet Emperor-level battle is like child's play.
Could it be that this Grand Marshal was finally determined to dethrone the Liu Family and become emperor himself?
If Liu Wubing became emperor, then indeed there would be no need for the Grand Marshal's Mansion!
Zhou Heng unexpectedly had the leisure to think about such irrelevant matters, but facing a bloodline-activated Dragon Clan expert, he currently had no chance to strike back. But as long as Ye Guyu's Bloodline Power ended, that would be the moment to unleash the Sky-soaring Nine Forms!
For defenses at the level of a Comet Emperor, suddenly using the Sky-soaring Nine Forms has a ninety percent chance of inflicting serious injury.
But Zhou Heng wanted a killing blow!
Therefore, he chose to wait!
Boom!
Ye Guyu had the absolute upper hand, even with Zhou Heng having activated the Essence Stone Origin Liquid, he was still bombarded, his whole body bleeding, spitting blood continuously. The light sphere contained terrifying rune energy, otherwise, the mere power of a Comet Emperor level wouldn't have been able to blast Zhou Heng so miserably.
With five Treasure Artifacts plus the Essence Stone Origin Liquid, Zhou Heng barely managed to hold on perilously.
Meanwhile, Ye Guyu's face was increasingly unsightly, even under a dragon's facade it was obvious.
His Bloodline Power was about to end, and once ended, it would take at least ten days to use again—how could power exceeding one's own battle power be used without restriction?
Yet Zhou Heng was still standing before him!
Even soaked in blood, he firmly stood!
This was an enormous insult to him!
Dignified Comet Emperor, a Comet Emperor from the Dragon Domain, exerting full power still couldn't kill a mere Milky Way Emperor!
But what of it?
The terrifying power receded like a tide, Ye Guyu was forced to revert from his dragon form, and an intense feeling of weakness overwhelmed him, making him want to sleep profoundly.
At that moment, Zhou Heng rushed forward, wielding the Black Sword.
