Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

"What's wrong? What happened?" Everyone exclaimed in shock.

Rustle, rustle, sand and stones kept falling from above, as if the entire palace was about to collapse.

Everyone retreated from the eighth palace, cautiously flying to the top of the palace, looking far into the distance—not daring to fly too fast because the space was filled with Heavenly Silkworm Spider Silk. A single misstep could shred them into pieces!

This is why everyone had to progress honestly from one palace to another, as other areas were even more dangerous, with spider silk sealing the paths, making them impassable.

When everyone reached the top of the palace, the tremor suddenly stopped. However, just as they thought everything was over, bang, a sudden bright light flashed in the distance, sending a shockwave, bang bang bang, rippling the ground like a shaking carpet.

"Ah—" The force was enormous, and apart from a few powerful Comet Emperors, everyone else was blown off the top of the palace.

Some people were fortunate, merely falling to the ground, but others were unlucky, thrown into the sky, instantly turning from whole people into dismembered pieces, with severed limbs and flesh flying, blood spraying.

——They had encountered the Heavenly Silkworm Spider Silk in the sky.

Whether in the Comet Realm or Milky Way Realm, they stood no chance against this Black Cave-level weapon! It didn't need any ritual to unleash; it was a natural deadly weapon, as powerful as a Treasure Artifact!

Zhou Heng unleashed his Spiritual Power with one hand, enveloping Black Donkey, Little Fire, and Liu Shishi, while using the Black Sword in the other hand to cut through the spider silk in front of him, narrowly avoiding the catastrophe.

Everyone landed back on the ground; in just that short moment, seventeen people had died, six of them were in the Comet Realm, including one who had previously won the auction for the Kiss of Death.

With the loss of these lives, the previous auction appeared to have been a waste of time. But at this moment, no one had the desire to continue with a new auction because the rumbling and tremors continued!

Not only was the palace shaking, but the space above was also trembling, seeming about to collapse!

No one knew what might fall from above if it did collapse.

This was the tomb of a Great Emperor, a resting place for the dead, unlikely to harbor anything pleasant.

Why was such a change happening?

The answer was simple; only a few Black Cave Kings could cause such a massive tremor!

Boom!

Indeed, after another loud bang, nine figures shot into the air, fearless of the spider silk, precisely the Great Demon Dragon Emperor and the eight other Black Cave Kings.

But each had a grave expression, as if encountering a great crisis.

"Suppress together!" The Great Demon Dragon Emperor shouted, crossing his palms, a huge black hole appeared behind him, complex runes appearing on his hands, as he struck towards the leaping point.

The remaining eight Black Cave Kings also opened black holes, runes in hand, suppressing the same spot.

What was happening?

The nine Black Cave Kings appeared to be facing a formidable enemy! Yet what kind of enemy necessitated such caution from them? Their collective strength could rival even the Black Cave Sovereign!

"Depart immediately!" A Black Cave King commanded, his power unquestionable.

An Emperor's order, who dared to defy it?

Though unaware of the specifics, everyone sensed the situation's dire nature. Otherwise, why would these nine significant figures appear so threatened that they'd need to join forces?

They began retreating while the nine Black Cave Kings formed a web of runes, descending underground, transforming into a prison.

Slash!

A cold light emerged from the ground, forming an arc, boom boom boom, instantly shattering the nine runes, boom, as a silhouette shot from below, crashing into the rocky ceiling above.

While retreating, everyone paid attention to the unfolding events, utterly astonished at the sight!

Nine Black Cave Kings had arrived!

Yet the nine had already appeared, so who was this figure? What kind of powerful entity could break through the joint suppression of nine Black Cave Kings?

Boom!

Again, a cold light streaked through, sending stones flying, revealing the figure bouncing from the rocky layer, wielding a blood-red blade three meters long, standing proudly!

As everyone clearly saw this mysterious figure, each showed an astonished expression.

This wasn't a person!

A White Bone Skeleton!

Blue lightning flickered in its eye sockets, its form tall and robust, clearly grand in life, revealing its skeleton, yet draped in a flaming red cape fluttering in the wind.

Zhou Heng saw it clearly, a rune was boldly imprinted on its forehead!

This was the corpse of Thundercloud Emperor!

Yet, something inexplicable had occurred, the skeleton mutated, gaining Spiritual Wisdom, transforming into a Dead Spirit!

"This is bad, Zhou, it's time to bolt!" shouted the Fire Divine Furnace from the Dantian Space.

"What's going on!" Zhou Heng ran while asking.

"Thundercloud Emperor was indeed a formidable figure; he likely prepared for failure when assaulting the Black Cave Emperor realm, burying himself in this extremely cold and dark location. If unable to break through, he would become a Dead Spirit!"

"But the wonders of heaven and earth are not something he can control. This death spirit has transformed successfully, but it no longer has his consciousness, it's completely a different entity!"

"It's equivalent to half a naturally nurtured being. The most difficult part is forming spiritual wisdom, initially dazed like an idiot, but these nine eight king eggs have awakened it!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this dead spirit actually practices the Path of Death, which is the strongest path of slaughter. A word of advice to you: run quickly!"

Nonsense, he was already exerting all his strength to run!

Others might not know the origin of this death spirit, but just seeing that even the nine Black Cave Kings are treating it cautiously is enough to understand how dangerous this White Bone Skeleton is, each one charging forward with all their might.

"You, you all... must die!" The White Bone Skeleton spat out dry words, holding a blade across its chest, with lightning flashing in its eyes.

"So powerful, this death spirit inherently represents death, has cultivated the Path of Death, and has inherited part of the power from its previous life, and may become a Black Cave Sovereign again, possessing a thunder series black cave!" The Fire Divine Furnace exclaimed in surprise, unconcerned with issues of life and death, naturally calm and composed.

Bang!

The White Bone Skeleton has already launched its attack, slashing blood blades as it charged toward the nine Black Cave Kings.

The nine Black Cave Kings had no choice but to engage in battle, each unleashing runes, while their black holes spun around forming whirlpools that swallowed everything.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The battle raged fiercely on both sides, the White Bone Skeleton was extremely overwhelming, single-handedly suppressing the nine Black Cave Kings. It was a death spirit born from the environment of heaven and earth, naturally mastering the Path of Death, coupled with inheriting part of Thundercloud Emperor's power, able to utilize thunder series powers, with terrifying battle strength.

Scarlet light beams shot out, striking the palace, causing it to collapse, striking the surrounding rock layers, shattering them, striking the fleeing people, whether in the Milky Way Realm or Comet Realm, they instantly turned into corpses!

This is the power of death!

Thud!

A loud noise, after countless attacks, the rock layer overhead finally reached its limit and collapsed entirely! Accompanied by it was endless seawater, ice-cold and bone-piercing!

This... is the stratum beneath the Ice Field, under the ice sea. When the rock layer was shattered, seawater flooded in!

Hiss, this is deadly!

Frozen currents surged, screams echoed, many people were immediately turned into ice sculptures after being washed by the seawater, and when struck by falling rocks from overhead, they directly shattered into billions of ice crystal fragments!

Buzz!

One Black Cave King expanded defenses, using an all-devouring black hole to absorb the invading seawater completely, shouting, "Quickly leave!"

Everyone hastened their pace, swiftly breaking through the palaces, trying to get through the teleportation array back to the Ice Field above. Although the environment on the Ice Field is extremely harsh, it's like paradise compared to this!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

One person after another rushed into the teleportation gate of light, instantly disappearing. At this moment, Little Fire suddenly barked, struggling out of Zhou Heng's embrace, and dashed swiftly into the distance.

"Little Fire, come back!" Zhou Heng screamed.

"What to do?" Black Donkey asked.

"Wait!" Zhou Heng said without hesitation; after all, he had the Fire Divine Furnace to resist the extreme cold, and Black Donkey was holding the Teleportation Rune, enough to deal with the current crisis.

Liu Shishi was rather loyal at this moment, not only not leaving Zhou Heng behind, but not urging him to hurry away either.

Fortunately, Little Fire soon returned, darting back into Zhou Heng's embrace.

"You little fellow, how dare you run away at a time like this!" Zhou Heng immediately started running madly again.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!" Little Fire wagged its tail furiously, while spitting out a pill bottle from its mouth.

Zhou Heng recognized it immediately as the "Kiss of Death"!

The unlucky person who obtained this pill had died right away, his body dismembered into eight pieces, and subsequently, significant events kept happening, leaving everyone with no time to think calmly.

Maybe someone was searching for the whereabouts of the "Kiss of Death," but that person was already split into many pieces, and no one knew where the pill bottle had been scattered.

Speaking of finding things, who could be better than a dog?

"Hahaha, this little fellow is truly capable!" Black Donkey laughed.

"Looks like it learned from you, risking life for benefits!" Zhou Heng shook his head.

"Pah, I'm not that greedy, don't slander me!"

As they talked, they arrived at the teleportation gate of light, only to see Jin Haochen standing there. When he saw Zhou Heng and the others approaching, he coldly smiled and stepped into the gate, while swinging a punch towards it.

Clearly, he had been waiting to destroy the teleportation array and leave Zhou Heng and Liu Shishi to die here!

"Donkey!"

"I've been prepared!" Black Donkey leaped, releasing an Inhibitory Rune.

Jin Haochen's movements instantly froze, as Zhou Heng and his companions, including the donkey and the dog, all dashed into the teleportation gate, delivering a kick towards Jin Haochen. Coincidentally, Jin Haochen also broke free from the Inhibitory Rune, but his fist continued towards the gate of light while his body flew outward.

"Zhou Heng, I won't spare you!" When the teleportation array began to shatter, Jin Haochen's voice, filled with anger yet unwilling, rang out. (To be continued.
