A Slip of the Hand

After recovering from his injuries, Zhou Tong pondered for a while, then took out two items.

One of them was a jet-black stone the size of a millstone.

Although the stone is not large, the moment it is brought out, it makes everyone feel as if they are facing a vast ocean of death, and the black liquid inside is enough to drive people Divine Capital the brink of madness.

This is the treasure that Zhou Tong obtained in the Ancient Starry Road — the Heart of the Death Realm.

The other thing was a lush green branch, as thick as an arm, radiating vibrant life.

These were the branches of the Life Divine Tree that Zhou Tong had extorted from Dao Yi.

"The inheritance of the Hegemon Body is somewhat disappointing. I've sealed my realm for far too long, and it's time to break through. But it's almost too late to seal it anymore." Zhou Tong was also somewhat speechless.

In fact, after leaving the Yongheng Star Domain, apart from initially using the Strongest Evolution Liquid left by the Azure Emperor to overcome two Heavenly Tribulation and cultivate to the sixth level of the Saint Realm, Zhou Tong spent most of his time suppressing and sealing his cultivation level.

Because he always felt that there was still room for improvement in the Heaven-and-Earth Wheel Sea he had created. As long as he could inherit the Hegemon Body, he could go even further and reach a whole new level.

To avoid wasting time and resources to cultivate all over again later, he sealed his cultivation level along the way, waiting to find the inheritance of the Hegemon Body, comprehend it, and then revise his own scriptures.

Unfortunately, the inheritance of the Hegemon Body was not the kind of method he had imagined, similar to a single Secret Realm Method.

"Break through! With my current foundation, this breakthrough will probably allow me to break through several barriers!" Zhou Tong adjusted his state slightly, entered the Divine Forbidden Zone, and unleashed a final punch that shattered the heavens and earth.

Zhou Tong threw a punch, then unleashed a secret technique that propelled him into the sky, crushing the seal of Saint Demise Island like an unparalleled overlord and venturing into the cosmos.

"Boom!!"

Saint Demise Island, to everyone's astonishment, Dao Body soared into the sky accompanied by an extremely terrifying purple light, breaking through the restrictions.

The Grand Commander and his soldiers were stunned. Someone had actually broken the restrictions on Saint Demise Island and forcefully charged out of it.

"It's him, that Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body!"

"He actually broke through the restrictions of Saint Demise Island. Just how strong is he?"

All the soldiers stared at Zhou Tong in shock, utterly stunned.

"The Heavenly Tyrant Body Lineage is truly awe-inspiring!" The Grand Commander was also deeply shocked. He never expected to see such a person. Even though he had seen countless geniuses from all corners of the universe at the First Pass of the Human Race, he was still amazed by him.

Having escaped Saint Demise Island, Zhou Tong released the seal on his body, no longer suppressing his cultivation level, and began to break through. In an instant, lightning flashed and Leiming, various lights danced, and a sea of lightning descended.

Zhou Tong's Heavenly Tribulation has arrived, and it is a series of tribulations occurring simultaneously, with tremendous force!

Endless thunder and countless calamities, the celestial tribulations of the Taiyin Human Emperor, the Sun Emperor, the Five Elements, and Heavenly Tribulation are intertwined, of countless kinds, all of them the greatest and most terrifying Thunder Tribulation.

"This kind of Thunder Tribulation..." Everyone's heartbeats almost stopped.

Even the Grand Commander, who had almost reached the Saint King realm, was shaken to his core. Although the other party's realm was clearly inferior to his own, he believed he could not withstand the power of this Thunder Tribulation.

"In recent decades, although there have been people like the Human King, the Great Demon God, and Di Tian who have passed through here, none of them have been as powerful as this Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body ..." The Grand Commander looked at the sea of lightning in the starry sky, his heart filled with shock.

Endless lightning enveloped Zhou Tong, forming an extremely terrifying lightning cage.

Within the sea of thunder, Zhou Tong used the Heart of the Death Realm and the branches of the Life Divine Tree to collide in a life-or-death struggle, simultaneously channeling this power of life and death into his own Heaven-and-Earth Wheel Sea, reversing life and death, transforming it into the Limitless, and successfully breaking through the barrier.

This Heavenly Tribulation lasted for three whole days.

After the Heavenly Tribulation ended, Zhou Tong successfully advanced to the ninth level of the Saint realm.

The further one progresses in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. It was only through years of accumulated knowledge and the effects of the Heart of the Death Realm and the Life Divine Tree that he was able to elevate himself to the perfect realm of the Saint.

He is now absolutely invincible among saints!

At this point, Zhou Tong was absolutely invincible in the Saint Realm, and the ninth level of Sainthood allowed him to fight against the Saint King.

At this moment, his Divine Capital had reached an astonishing level. His purple blood energy was like a vast ocean, enough to overwhelm an ordinary saint. His divine sense was as refined as celestial light, and his whole being was like Divine Fetus reborn.

"Terrifying, truly terrifying. This Hegemon Body is a bit too strong. This person is bound to become the Di Tian Heaven's greatest enemy!" One of the soldiers' eyes flashed with a dark light, brewing a trace of Killing Intent.

The soldiers who remained on the Human Ancient Road were not entirely losers; some of them were spies planted here by the prodigies of the future.

It can both convey information about those who come later and also strike a sneak attack on an opponent at a crucial moment.

"Crack!!"

However, just as this person's Killing Intent was about to erupt, Zhou Tong suddenly turned around and fixed his eyes on this person.

His entire body was enveloped in a surge of purple blood energy, and his feet treaded on the Nine Secrets: Xing Xingzi, as if stepping into the annals of time. In an instant, he transformed into a fleeting shadow and rushed over, raising his hand to deliver a punch. With a deafening roar, blood splattered, bone fragments flew everywhere, and blood mist rose into the sky.

A purple fist became the only one in this starry sky, instantly killing the soldier who was radiating Killing Intent, causing him to die on the spot!

"Sorry, your Killing Intent made me nervous, and my hand slipped!"

At this moment, all the soldiers felt their scalps tingle. It all happened so suddenly. How could someone be so audacious as to kill the soldiers guarding the ancient city on the spot during the trial?

This person acts far too recklessly, too decisively and ruthlessly. In particular, his punch was incredibly powerful. Not to mention this soldier, even the commander-in-chief standing next to him couldn't withstand it.

Blood splattered everywhere, a few drops of bright red blood splashing onto the commander's face, instantly bringing him to his senses. He immediately stood in front of the other soldiers, glaring angrily at Zhou Tong: "You've violated the rules! Only we have a way to return to the ancient city. Do you want to stay here forever?"

He was all bark and no bite; he started out with some bravado, but the more he spoke, the less confident he became.

"Commander-in-Chief, there's no need for this. I think you all saw it. This man's Killing Intent towards me was just a stress response. There's no need for you to be nervous!" Zhou Tong said leisurely. "Besides, even if you're all nervous, what's the use? No one I'm going to kill has ever escaped."

"You!!" The commander's forehead veins bulged.

I've never encountered such an arrogant and presumptuous challenger before, daring to threaten the law enforcement officers of the Ancient Road!

Zhou Tong chuckled and said, "I told you not to be nervous. If you all keep being this nervous, and I accidentally get nervous too, that wouldn't be good. I tend to slip up when I'm nervous, and what if we end up causing bloodshed?"

"As for the rules of the ancient road, I remember the Guiding Envoy explained to us that the rule was that we could not fight within the ancient city, but this place is already outside the ancient city..." Zhou Tong was fearless, and the group of people in front of him could not do anything to him.

"I believe the wise and righteous President will understand me!"

"Good! Good! Good!" The commander-in-chief suppressed his anger and said "good" three times.

Zhou Tong simply smiled and said nothing more. He walked to the side and quietly contemplated what he had gained in this training ground.

The biggest gain this time was actually fighting a replica of himself in the Blood Lake, which made Zhou Tong realize his strengths and weaknesses.
