Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

Before this battle, everyone imagined that Shui Yuqi would sweep everyone away with an invincible stance, easily taking the top spot and continuing to crush the firsts of other Dragon Temples, becoming the first of the Gold Seventy-Four Stars.

But reality always loves to defy expectations, Shui Yuqi lost, and it was in her strongest dragon form that she was defeated in one blow!

The miracle worker was none other than the previously underestimated Purple Dragon descendant!

But anyone who saw Zhou Heng's dragon form would not believe it to be a true Purple Dragon!

A Purple Dragon with a flickering purple flame?

Lower position bloodline? Lower position bloodline, my foot! This was clearly a mutated bloodline, merely coincidentally manifesting purple on the dragon scales, resembling a Purple Dragon, definitely not a real Purple Dragon!

—Of course, if not for this battle, Zhou Heng's dragon form, even if it were truly ablaze with a myriad of flames, would have been ignored by them.

Too many people are wise after the event.

Anyway, Zhou Heng obtained first place and was awarded ten Dragon Crystals as a reward. Tomorrow he will set off to the Dragon Temple of "Four Rivers City" to compete with the other seventy-one top contenders for the title of the first of the Gold Seventy-Four Stars.

Although the overall strength of the Gold Seventy-Four Stars ranks last in the Golden Dragon Star Domain, making being the first of this planet alarmingly meaningless, it is still the first, and each year the entire Golden Dragon Star Domain can only produce seventy-four, which is quite significant.

Otherwise, why would people like Tou Lan and Shui Yuqi deliberately commit a minor offense to be exiled here?

Even just a hundred Dragon Crystals can be irresistible.

Of course, Dragon Crystals are also graded, such as a One Cave expert can make a One Star Dragon Crystal, a Two Caves expert makes a Two Stars Dragon Crystal, and so on, while the two Chaos Realm Old Ancestors make Ten Stars Dragon Crystals.

In fact, if it weren't for the Ancestral Pond baptism, generally, these significant Dragon Clan figures would not create Dragon Crystals, as it consumes their Essence Blood and can't even be described as priceless.

One One Star Dragon Crystal can be exchanged for ten thousand Dragon Coins, but ten thousand Dragon Coins absolutely cannot buy a One Star Dragon Crystal; it's utterly unequal.

There's too few of them, supply can't meet demand.

If born into a prominent family—this prominent family is one that has a Black Cave level expert in residence, the younger generation has a chance to receive a gift from the older generation; otherwise, one has to compete in the Ancestral Pond baptism competition for the first spot.

Zhou Heng looked disappointedly at the ten Dragon Crystals in his hand, they were only One Star Dragon Crystals!

The bloodline within him languid, he felt no appetite.

Because the value of Dragon Crystals lies in enhancing the bloodline limit, not strengthening the physique, so if he felt no hunger, it meant this level of Dragon Crystal offered no benefit in improving his bloodline.

In other words, his bloodline limit already exceeded One Cave!

He didn't waste those several days in the Ancestral Pond!

Zhou Heng thought to himself, when he first awakened his bloodline, Hongyue speculated that his limit was at most Comet Sovereign, but now it had exceeded One Cave, which naturally gave him a small sense of pride.

However, the Dragon Clan Physique is just the icing on the cake; what he truly cared about was the breakthrough in the spiritual power level.

What good is a strong physique, at most only comparable to that Old Azure Dragon! But wasn't the Old Azure Dragon still crushed by Hongyue, let alone Huo Tian having a bit more in Laws Comprehension than Hongyue, and even possessing the power of a Saint!

He didn't want the Universe overturned; he had to suppress Huo Tian!

Therefore, the path of becoming an alternative Saint must continue, no matter how difficult it is!

Hope that among those seventy-one opponents, there are a few fierce ones who can push his limits and break through the constraint of nine hundred and ninety-nine Milky Ways.

After a night of feasting, Zhou Heng followed the Great Priest to Four Rivers City.

There are portals set up between cities, so after just a short while, the two appeared in Four Rivers City and came all the way to the Dragon Temple.

Due to Shui Yuqi's sudden rise, even the Six Caves Elder Long Haixing came to observe, but upon hearing that Shui Yuqi didn't win the first place, he couldn't help being very surprised.

He also focused his attention on Zhou Heng, wanting to know the level of strength this newcomer young man possessed.

This competition drew in the top talents from various cities, naturally making the quality far exceed that of the Qingyang City's Dragon Temple competition, and basically, everyone possessed a strong localized dragonification bloodline.

In terms of physique, everyone had stepped into the Comet Realm, but only one had also progressed to the Comet Realm in spiritual power, a man named Yan Lindong, with a burst of golden dragons and a very burly physique.

This is the Golden Dragon Star Domain, naturally, there cannot be Blue Dragons, Green Dragons, Red Dragons, and Black Dragons; the majority are Golden Dragons, and "mixed dragons" like Purple Dragons and Crimson Dragons are scattered in the Five Great Star Domains.

But Upper Bloodline is called Upper Bloodline because of the strength of the Five-Colored Dragon Clan, and among the seventy-two who stood out, except for Zhou Heng, all were Golden Dragons!

"The rules of the competition are simple, whoever remains standing is the first!" said the head priest of Four Rivers Dragon Temple, for dragons, no matter how proud, are Divine Beasts, and the beasts naturally revere strength.

To get the first, one must have the Great Strength to knock down all competitors and climb the throne!

"Bow to the Great Elder first!"

Everyone complied, bending in salute to Long Haixing.

"Begin!"

Immediately, everyone retreated, maintaining a certain distance from others. This was a chaotic battle; the strongest person wouldn't necessarily stand until the end.

"Hurry up and finish! I'm starved!" Zhou Heng said, rubbing his stomach. With the increase in his bloodline limit, he easily felt hungry, and his body constantly craved energy.

It's a pity these people are all human-shaped, no appetite to eat them!

Zhou Heng let out a long roar and directly launched his dragon form transformation. Amidst the flickering purple flames, he transformed once again into a purple Divine Dragon. With the advancement of his bloodline, he could maintain transformation for up to two hours, although a full recovery still took three days.

"So arrogant!" Everyone turned to look at Zhou Heng. This guy was merely a Comet King at the physique level; on what basis was he acting so arrogantly? Wasn't everyone here also Comet Kings at the physique level? The strongest were dual spiritual and physique Comet Realm, yet none of them were acting so arrogantly!

Shoot the bird that sticks out; get rid of this arrogant guy first!

Buzz!

The atmosphere surged wildly, causing everyone's body to freeze momentarily, a strong sense of awe rose within their hearts as if they were not facing Zhou Heng, but their Great Ancestral Dragon Lord!

How could this be!

Let alone how far Zhou Heng was from reaching the Black Cave level, just his whole body of purple dragon scales made it impossible—that was a lower position bloodline!

On the viewing stands, Long Haixing stroked his beard, revealing a smile.

He was a Six Caves Expert, having long before achieved a complete Dragon Form. Now his human shape was actually the transformation. However, if anyone attacked him, they would instantly experience how terrifying the defensive power of a Six Caves level Divine Beast was.

Only form changed, not substance.

"This child is not bad, his bloodline must have mutated!" He said approvingly.

"Great Elder, in the history of our clan, any mutated bloodline is very powerful, can at least become a Five Caves True Monarch. Does this child truly have such potential?" A Priest beside him asked.

Everyone looked at Zhou Heng, somewhat uncertain.

Because Zhou Heng was indeed powerful now, but he did not show the slightest local Dragonification in his human form, which was too strange! The purer the bloodline, the higher the degree of local Dragonification; when local Dragonification expands to the whole body, that is a true Divine Beast, with bloodline purity to an incomparable degree!

Bloodline is the standard to measure whether a Divine Beast is powerful, and it's the only standard.

"Mutated bloodlines always have unexpected traits. Be patient and wait!" Long Haixing said, then closed his eyes, indicating that he did not want to speak further.

Everyone obediently shut their mouths, this was the privilege of the strong.

With Zhou Heng's transformation, chaos broke out in the field, because the battle power of the dragon form was too strong. Once a person transformed, it triggered a chain reaction. If others did not use Dragon Form transformation, a casual slap could directly knock them out of the game!

Suddenly, a golden light flashed chaotically, there appeared exactly seventy-one Golden Dragons in the field, among them, a sole purple Divine Dragon stood out, wrapped in purple flame, indicating this Purple Dragon was different from the usual Purple Dragon Clan.

"Roar—" Zhou Heng let out a dragon roar, boldly launching an attack.

As long as they could still stand, they were his opponents; it was just that simple!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The field was chaotic; under Zhou Heng's unique Dragon Might suppression, no one could exert more than thirty percent of their battle power, constantly being slapped out of the game by Zhou Heng. Soon, only ten remained.

These ten were the strongest individuals, led by Yan Lindong, who was a dual Comet Realm, and his spiritual power had even stepped into Comet Sovereign. In terms of strength, he was over ten times stronger than Zhou Heng, yet under the suppression of Dragon Might, he could only match Zhou Heng.

But if someone could face Zhou Heng head-on, plus with weaker ones gone, the stronger ones needn't worry about accidentally hurting companions, the number of ten seemed reduced, yet they posed an increased threat to Zhou Heng instead.

The strongest was still Yan Lindong!

In terms of talent, Zhou Heng thought Shui Yuqi outmatched him, but Yan Lindong excelled in spiritual power level having entered the Comet Realm, and indeed Comet Sovereign, besides awakening a rune through bloodline, he also mastered another rune!

Such battle power cannot be underestimated!

Yan Lindong's two dragon claws radiated light simultaneously; the left claw represented the rune of "Golden Barrier" obtained after bloodline awakening, which was more defensive in nature. The right claw flashed with dark, ominous light; this was a rune he learned after his spiritual power advanced to Comet Realm.

Darkness, decay, filled with loathsome aura.

This ominous rune had corroded a large chunk of the stone slab in the Dragon Temple under a single claw, its destructive power astonishingly terrifying. Even with Divine Beast's defense, a direct hit would cause severe injury!

Zhou Heng became infuriated; the opponent truly showed no mercy!

Is this still a sparring match?

Need it be so ruthless just for victory? After all, aren't we part of "one" clan?

Then you'll just have to suffer the consequences yourself!

Zhou Heng released his control over the Annihilation Runes, his flaming aura subtly changed. (To be continued.
