Chapter 714 714: 714
Thirty beams of Yuan Qi light shot across the sky!
Earth-shattering!
They churned the myriad layers of clouds for thousands of miles!
The resulting fluctuations were a thousand times greater than the earlier clash of auras between Qin Heng and the Son of Heaven, Ji Yan! Even mountains hundreds of miles away collapsed! The ground nearby sank directly!
A deathly silence fell, extreme shock gripping everyone. They stared at the layers of brilliance in the sky, unparalleled horror filling their hearts.
My God! The power of all thirty-seven generations of the Sons of Heaven of Zhou has been awakened by this generation's Son of Heaven! Even the Nine National Cauldrons have been activated! They are truly about to perish together!
Everyone present paled, watching the extraordinary phenomena unfolding between heaven and earth in disbelief. Their faces were ashen, their minds reeling from the overwhelming and unparalleled pressure.
Terrifying! Truly too terrifying!
The thirty-seven generations of the Sons of Heaven of Zhou… Even Ji Yan, the final Son of Heaven, had reached the Nine Heavens of the Great Saint. The earliest generations, and those during the eras of resurgence, were even infinitely close to the Saint King! If not for the limitations imposed by the esteemed position of Son of Heaven, they would undoubtedly have been stronger!
At this moment, these thirty-seven Sons of Heaven all transformed into layers of light and shadow, appearing in the sky with extraordinary and incomparable power. The eight great cauldrons behind the Ancestral Temple of Zhou also ascended, emanating boundless Yuan Qi that enveloped the many luminous figures of the Sons of Heaven!
In an instant, heaven and earth were stirred, and the universe blazed with light. A phoenix hundreds of kilometers long materialized in the sky, eclipsing the sun and obscuring the firmament as it danced above the thirty-seven generations of the Sons of Heaven of Zhou! Its luminous feathers flickered, displaying flowing images of mountains and rivers, the changing destiny of the eight-hundred-year Zongzhou Dynasty, the sun, the Milky Way, the shifting constellations, and the vast transformations of ages where seas turn into mulberry fields!
Eight hundred years of Zongzhou! Three eras of Forefather Kings! The destiny of the Nine Provinces! The sacred lands and the nation! How vast, how profound! It was almost equivalent to everything in this Secret Realm of Time-Space Seal!
"What should we do?" Lu Ziyi was deeply shaken; it was the first time she had ever witnessed such a terrifying sight, something that utterly surpassed her imagination. "Thirty-seven generations of Sons of Heaven of Zhou… such power… this power…"
"Leave! We must leave this secret realm!" Xue Qinan's voice was calm as she said, "If we leave the secret realm now, we might be able to avoid this terrifying attack. Mr. Xuantian, let's hurry and leave!"
"That's right! Leave! As long as we leave this place, we'll be fine!" Ning Shuying also nodded, looking at Qin Heng with desperate urgency.
However, Qin Heng seemed to turn a deaf ear to their words, as if he hadn't heard them at all. Instead, he turned to look at Bai Qi and said, "Lord Wu An, may I borrow the sword in your hand?"
Bai Qi was startled. His mind had also been momentarily captured by the terrifying aura permeating heaven and earth. But, being a Martial Artist at the Sixth Heaven of the Great Saint, he quickly regained his composure. He nodded, handing his sword to Qin Heng.
This sword was, in fact, the catalyst that had opened this Secret Realm of the Battle of Changping. In reality, only scattered fragments of it remained. But within this secret realm, it was still intact.
It felt slightly heavy to the touch.
Qin Heng held the sword, feeling the aura of slaughter it contained and the power that resonated with this secret realm. He slowly closed his eyes, seemingly with no intention of resisting.
"Qin Heng!"
"Mr. Xuantian!"
"What are you doing?!"
Lu Ziyi, Xue Qinan, and Ning Shuying all cried out in alarm, their faces pale. They were unable to comprehend what Qin Heng was doing. The phoenix, formed by the will of thirty-seven generations of Sons of Heaven of Zhou, was about to dive!
And he actually closed his eyes! What do we do? What should we do now?!
Many onlookers from afar, seeing Qin Heng's actions, couldn't help shaking their heads.
"It seems Qin Xuantian has given up."
"Heh, he's courting death. Who else can be blamed? He brought it upon himself!"
"He dares to challenge the Son of Heaven of Zhou! How laughable!"
Many sneered and scoffed. In their eyes, Qin Heng was already a dead man. Facing the phoenix formed from the condensed will of thirty-seven generations of Sons of Heaven of Zhou, even a Saint King would have their Divine Soul obliterated!
This kind of attack, purely formed from will and the hidden fortune in the void, primarily targeted the will and Divine Soul; it posed almost no harm to the physical body.
BOOM! RUMBLE!
The phoenix soared across the sky and dove, flapping its wings and hurtling towards Qin Heng. The layers of golden auspicious clouds trembled, and even the nine Yuan Qi Divine Dragons pulling the chariot disintegrated.
"Scoundrel, are you giving up just like that?! Die!!!"
The voice of the Son of Heaven, Ji Yan, echoed across the sky. He was the one who had guided the awakening of the remnant will of the thirty-six previous generations of Sons of Heaven of Zhou, and thus, he naturally directed the phoenix's consciousness!
HATRED!
ANGER!
SLAUGHTER!
An immensely terrifying will enveloped heaven and earth, causing everyone present to feel dizzy and disoriented. But this was merely the aftershock; the real attack was pouring down entirely on Qin Heng!
The phoenix, embodying the terrifying combined will of thirty-seven generations of Sons of Heaven of Zhou, shrank as it neared Qin Heng. In the end, it was no larger than a palm when it vanished into Qin Heng's brow in an instant!
Gone without a trace!
"It's over! All is lost!"
"Why? Why isn't Mr. Xuantian resisting?!"
"What in the world is happening?!"
Lu Ziyi and the others were terrified beyond belief. They stared incredulously at Qin Heng, who stood motionless, their minds replaying the image of the shrinking phoenix flying into his brow.
He's doomed! Truly doomed! No one's Divine Soul could withstand the onslaught of the combined will of thirty-seven generations of Sons of Heaven of Zhou! It's absolutely impossible! Even if a Saint King were present, if that phoenix burst into their sea of consciousness, they would most likely perish on the spot, their Divine Soul obliterated! The will of thirty-seven generations of Sons of Heaven of Zhou! It's truly, truly terrifying. This is an attack purely aimed at one's consciousness and Divine Soul, and Martial Artists who have yet to truly step into the Saint realm have absolutely no defense for their Divine Soul! Qin Heng… it seems he's more than likely doomed this time!
Lu Ziyi and the others all felt somewhat dizzy; they had never imagined such a situation could occur.
The always invincible, always infallible Qin Heng… why did he fall here? Why?
They were utterly baffled. After all, from their perspective, with Qin Heng's Divine Soul at the peak of the Innate realm, it was simply impossible to withstand the assault from the will of thirty-seven generations of Sons of Heaven of Zhou.
What they didn't know was the true, profound quality of Qin Heng's Divine Soul.
Indeed, those observing from a distance thought similarly. They believed Qin Heng was surely doomed with the phoenix entering his brow and invading his sea of consciousness.
A golden opportunity! A heaven-sent chance! Qin Xuantian stands motionless, and the phoenix, condensed from the will of thirty-seven generations of Sons of Heaven of Zhou, has also ceased all activity! Excellent! This is truly excellent! Both the side of the Sons of Heaven of Zhou and Qin Xuantian's group are doomed! They're all finished, completely finished!
"Hahaha! Excellent, excellent!"
"Brilliant! The treasures of this Zongzhou capital are all ours now!"
"And the treasures of Qin Xuantian and his companions! Go, go, go! Hurry up, take them all, take everything!"
"Haha! Qin Xuantian, even you have met such a fate today!"
Many Semi-Saints and Innates from the outside world burst into laughter, brimming with excitement. They hadn't even carefully investigated the situation before they flew directly towards the Zongzhou capital, intending to plunder the treasures from Lu Ziyi and the others, as well as any remaining valuables within the capital itself.
