Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

Under the efforts of the Black Donkey, it only took a little over an hour for the restriction to be broken, revealing the first Pill Bottle.

Immediately, several intense gazes swept over, but with a slight glance from Zhou Heng, these people's greed was stuffed back into their hearts.

Zhou Heng's power had already been fully displayed in his previous battle with the Stone Statue Dog!

"How effective is this 'Radiant Star Pill'?" The Black Donkey didn't have paws and could only use Spiritual Power to suck up the Pill Bottle, while asking Zhou Heng.

"Taking one can greatly increase the speed of absorbing nature's spiritual energy, how much spiritual power accumulation can be enhanced depends on your own qualifications!" Zhou Heng repeated the words from the Fire Divine Furnace to him.

"It seems only on me can its greatest power be unleashed!" The Black Donkey pretended to put away the Pill Bottle, "Giving it to you low-qualified people is really too wasteful!"

Liu Shishi quickly reached out to snatch it. With her strength, the Black Donkey was really no match without using an Inhibitory Rune, and the Pill Bottle was taken away with just one encounter.

"Demon Girl, don't force me to erupt, quickly return the Radiant Star Pill!" The Black Donkey shouted angrily.

Liu Shishi casually handed the Pill Bottle to Zhou Heng and charmingly smiled, saying, "Brother Heng, I've already reached the peak of the Milky Way Realm, basically impossible to progress further, but you've just reached Milky Way Emperor, this pill is most useful for you, quickly keep it!"

Zhou Heng shivered, saying, "Please don't use such a sickly sweet tone, it's so gross!"

"Should I also find a beautiful wife, to help Donkey Master in such matters?" The Black Donkey murmured to himself.

Liu Shishi pouted her red lips looking at Zhou Heng, saying, "Brother Heng, what's wrong with me! At worst, I'll sacrifice a little and be your concubine, alright?"

Zhou Heng glanced at her, chuckled, glanced again, but said nothing.

"What do you mean, I, a Commandery Princess of the Royal Family, am not even worthy of being your concubine!" Liu Shishi, angry, stamped her feet and scolded Zhou Heng, returning to her fiery personality.

"You really don't qualify!" Zhou Heng counted on his fingers and said, "Do you know my Hongyue at home... hehe, she is just a concubine, and the principal wife is even more formidable!"

"Nonsense!" Liu Shishi was shocked for a moment, a Black Cave King only a concubine, then how strong is the principal? A Black Cave Sovereign? Or a Black Cave Emperor?

"Pshaw, saying it would scare you to death!"

Naturally, Zhou Heng meant Huo Tian, although Huo Tian did not agree to marry him, and Hongyue did not say she wanted to be his concubine. But Huo Tian would marry someday, and when he becomes a Saint, taking Hongyue as a concubine is no big deal.

So, this isn't boasting, absolutely not!

The palace contains several other useful pills for them, which the Black Donkey broke the restrictions to collect, such as the "Sea Heart Pill" and "Snow Lotus Pill" which can directly enhance cultivation level.

Anyway, idle time is idle, so they retreated to the first palace, found a secluded corner, to begin refining these pills.

Zhou Heng had already formed a Star Vortex, and his qualifications were not particularly good, so all the Radiant Star Pills were given to the Black Donkey, as he needed pills that directly enhanced spiritual power accumulation.

However, although these pills were sealed very well and protected by restrictions, after all, billions of years had passed, and the medicinal power had diminished considerably, even the best preserved only exerted 50% efficacy, the poorer ones only 20-30%.

At this rate, wouldn't the Kiss of Death turn from extremely dangerous to sure-death, even thousand sure-death?

Zhou Heng shook his head, anyway it wasn't him eating, what was there to worry about!

He accelerated the refinement of the medicinal power, but after absorbing seven pills respectively, he only increased by three Milky Ways.

So slow!

But after sighing, Zhou Heng couldn't help but laugh, actually increasing by three Milky Ways at once was not slow at all, as generally people need a thousand years to form a Milky Way, a genius needs a hundred years, only a super genius with vast cultivation resources can reduce the time to about ten years.

His Star Vortex was really powerful, surpassing all miraculous spirit pills in the world!

Little Fire and the Black Donkey also benefited significantly, their progress obvious, only Liu Shishi who was already close to the peak of Milky Way Emperor needed an even better Milky Way Array method, otherwise she couldn't progress further, only attempt breaking into the Comet Realm.

But the threshold of Comet Realm is as hard as ascending to heaven, unknown how many Milky Way Emperors were trapped, definitely not achievable at once.

This beautiful Commandery Princess had formed 9,400 stars, 936 Milky Ways, as the foundation determined the upper levels, she could form up to 940 Milky Ways in the Milky Way Realm.

If she could form four more Milky Ways before impacting the Comet Realm, her limit in Comet Realm would reach 94 stars, in the future possibly becoming a being with four Black Holes!

"I know you must have a way, help me get the best Milky Way Array!" Liu Shishi unceremoniously clung to Zhou Heng, "For your wife, you must be dedicated!"

"... you've just latched on to me!"

"I don't believe I can't even be a little one!" Liu Shishi's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Zhou Heng sighed, meddling, meddling now, see now trouble sticks like glue, can't shake it off!

"Let's go, check the situation!"

The two and a donkey returned to the seventh palace, but the restrictions here were already completely dissolved, as those previously here were Comet Kings and Comet Sovereigns. Just seeing the still-fresh blood on the ground implies a fierce battle broke out for those pills.

They returned to the eighth palace again, but the restrictions here were not yet lifted. Obviously, the palaces here are structured in fours, and the more they delve, the more complex the restrictions become, forcing even the Comet Emperors, these geniuses, to patiently study them.

This also shows the Black Donkey's strength; the Heaven-Earth Fruit it consumed must be packed with countless secrets about restrictions, otherwise, it could not have learned without a teacher.

It's definitely not a genius, just innately annoying.

While waiting, Zhou Heng, Liu Shishi, and the Black Donkey killed time by chatting idly, but Jin Haochen wasn't faring so well.

Previously, many would try to curry favor with this prince, hoping to form a connection with the Black Cave King's child and a future Great Emperor. It was always beneficial with no drawbacks. But ever since Jin Haochen's "madness" incident, no one dared to approach the prince.

Even when Jin Haochen lowered himself to actively make friends with others, they avoided him like the plague, fearing that getting touched might get them pregnant... Who would want to befriend a madman, when there's only harm and no benefit?

This prince always looked at Zhou Heng's side with a gaze filled with resentment.

He had a constant feeling that his previous madness must be related to Zhou Heng!

Though he had no evidence, he firmly believed it, otherwise, he'd have to admit he was "sick."

Despite watching, even when Liu Shishi's actions were overly intimate, he endured it with a gloomy face, having no intention of rushing over to scold the adulterous couple.

Seeing this, Zhou Heng couldn't help but frown slightly. Jin Haochen's forbearance only meant one thing: he had resolved to invite the Great Iron Bear Emperor to suppress and possibly kill him and perhaps drag Liu Shishi along!

When one dies, all shame naturally vanishes into smoke.

However, Zhou Heng didn't believe that the Great Iron Bear Emperor would dare openly make a move, after all, there were eight other Black Cave Kings here. If they watched as Zhou Heng got killed, then once Hongyue became furious, their descendants wouldn't find peace either.

—They were utterly mistaken, Hongyue was not a Black Cave King; when she got angry, she'd directly destroy all seventy Star Domains!

Zhou Heng decided to stay and watch, especially since they still had the Black Donkey's Teleportation Rune.

Days passed much longer than Zhou Heng had anticipated, until entering the twenty-sixth day in here, the Comet Emperors finally managed to unlock the Kiss of Death's restriction.

No one made a move; instead, three Comet Emperors, who were pushed forward, tested the pill for authenticity.

"It's real!" After half a day, one Comet Emperor stated, voice trembling.

"However, so much time has passed, the efficacy has at least decreased by twenty, perhaps even thirty percent!" said the second Comet Emperor.

"Originally, it was extremely dangerous, now the death rate has at least doubled!" the third Comet Emperor added.

Only two or three percent lost?

Zhou Heng was initially stunned, then thought that Holy Medicine, after all, was Holy Medicine. In terms of storage and preservation, it was naturally several levels above high-tier Spiritual Medicine, thus the loss in efficacy was significantly less.

Yet, there were as many as fifty high-tier Comet Emperors present, but only one Kiss of Death; how would they divide it?

A fierce battle?

Contrary to Zhou Heng's expectations, these experts showed no intention of fighting and instead began an auction.

Auction? It was actually an auction!

In fact, it wasn't a bad method at all because a fierce battle here might result in rivers of blood and only one or two walking away alive at the end.

Indeed, it was extremely dangerous.

The actions of these bigwigs were unimaginable to small fry; even the basic price increases were equivalent to a city's revenue, enough to catapult an idiot from Mortal Realm to Star Realm or propel a non-idiot straight to Milky Way Emperor!

Ultimately, the proceeds were evenly split among all Comet Emperors, while Comet Kings and Comet Sovereigns had no share; their strength was simply too weak.

The heated auction lasted an entire day, though Zhou Heng didn't know the final price, he suspected it was terrifyingly high.

Spending so much money only to buy into an "extremely dangerous," no, at least a one-in-twenty chance of survival, was it worth it?

Of course, it was worth it!

Because once you "survive," you become a Black Cave King!

Capable of dominating the world, truly controlling your own fate, you could even run to a planet with a low rank and lord it over, enjoying unparalleled supremacy! More critically, breaking through the Black Cave Realm also grants twenty thousand years of life!

Zhou Heng's thoughts flew wildly, how come after all these days, there was no movement from the nine Black Cave Kings?

Boom!

At this moment, there was a loud explosion, and the ground shook violently. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
