The main reason the Dragon Emperor had been killed by Zhou Heng was that he knew too little about Zhou Heng.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat! He had no idea how terrifyingly destructive the Black Sword, combined with the Heaven-Soaring Nine Styles and the Five Elements Rune, could become. Otherwise, he would never have allowed Zhou Heng to get close!
On the other hand, it also had to do with the Dragon Emperor's descent this time.
Crossing the realm gate required a horrendous price. He had pawned off every treasure he possessed—he had practically come down running bare-assed, stripped of all his artifacts!
Otherwise, if even a single defensive treasure had functioned, it could at least have blocked Zhou Heng for a moment. He would not have been cut down so utterly that both body and soul were destroyed. After all, he had been a Star King!
But there was no medicine for regret in this world!
Zhou Heng slammed into the earth like a cannonball. Only after a while did he crawl out from deep underground. The brute strength of the Ascension Realm was enough to let him do that. After sweeping his gaze around, he strode toward the Nine Heavenly Generals.
The Nine Heavenly Generals had already lost their will to fight. Now, seeing such a great fiend closing in, they were so terrified that their souls nearly fled their bodies. They scattered like birds and beasts, the nine of them flying off in nine different directions.
When Bright Immortals wanted to flee, they were usually difficult to keep. Though the five Dragon Empresses gave it their all, they only managed to hold back three of them—and those three immediately went mad.
No one thought they had lived
