Is it over?
At this moment, Empress Huangtian arrived late, carrying the unconscious Luo Bailian in one hand and the stunned Xiao Tianzuo in the other. Looking at the suppressed Zhang Santian, she sighed:
"I never imagined he would grow to this level. I should have killed him back then."
"It's not too late now, but before that, we still need to get the Great Palm Heaven Technique from him."
Zhou Xingdou looked at Zhang Santian again, took a step out of the Two Realms Boundary and activated it again, arriving outside the area where the suppressing power was being released.
Zhang Santian was furious but unable to move. He glared at Zhou Xingdou and roared:
"Despicable and shameless! You have defied the heavens!"
"Despicable and shameless?"
Zhou Xingdou raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious as to why Zhang Santian could be so shameless.
Although Zhou Xingdou did not recommend using despicable means, today's events were undeniably Zhang Santian's despicable and shameless act, and now he was even turning around and slandering others, which Zhou Xingdou found somewhat amusing.
At this moment, the Desolate Heavenly Empress sneered, looking at Zhang Santian with disdain:
“Zhang San, the mighty Great King of Heaven, the number one person below the Heavenly Venerable, came to this desolate place of the Nine Yuan Mountains to attack a child who is only at the Refining Essence stage. You dare to call him despicable and shameless?”
Zhang Santian was about to lash out at the Desolate Heavenly Empress, but when he looked up, he saw a pair of bewitching blood-red eyes. His pupils immediately contracted in shock, and fear was revealed on his face.
"Huang...Huangtian...Empress, how...how are you still alive!"
At this moment, Zhang Santian's anger was completely extinguished by the woman in front of him. He still remembered the scarlet figure that had slaughtered the entire desolate sky. If that madwoman hadn't died, how could he dare to call himself the number one person under the emperor!
Now, this figure has reappeared before him after ten thousand years, reminding Zhang Santian of the scene when he looked up at it like an ant.
Zhou Xingdou was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that the Empress of the Desolate Heaven would frighten the Great King of Heaven so much just by showing her face. She must have had quite a fearsome reputation in the past.
However, he glanced absently at the Desolate Empress's chest and thought to himself that her current reputation for being "fierce" was not small.
Empress Huangtian, oblivious to where Zhou Xingdou's gaze was directed, looked at the terrified Zhang Santian and said indifferently:
"You still recognize me, that makes things easier."
But as he spoke, a sinister glint flashed in his bewitching blood-red eyes, and he said with extreme coldness:
"Hand over the Great Palm Heavenly Scripture, or... you know what I can do."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Santian recalled the bloody methods of the Desolate Heavenly Empress, and his body trembled. However, he still gritted his teeth and said:
"If I hand it over, I'll die. Unless you guarantee my survival, I will never hand it over!"
Zhang Santian is currently under the suppression of the Floating Ancestral Pagoda, and his cultivation has been suppressed to the bottom. Therefore, he is very clear about his current situation. Similarly, he cannot see that the Desolate Heaven Empress in front of him is only at the peak of the Refining Heaven Realm.
The Empress of Desolate Heaven's blood-red eyes narrowed, and she said coldly:
Do you think you have the right to bargain?
Even if the fear instilled in Zhang Santian by the Desolate Heavenly Empress was immense, it couldn't be the decisive factor in a life-or-death choice; instead, it fueled Zhang Santian's temper.
"To hand over the sword is to die anyway, while not handing it over might allow me to live longer. Why should I hand it over?"
Empress Huang Tian sneered and said:
"If you don't hand it over, I'll seize your wife and children and humiliate them in front of you every day. I can build a brothel here and suppress you inside, and seize all your relatives so you can watch a grand show every day."
Empress Huangtian's voice was extremely cold, as if she were talking about something very ordinary, or even something she did often.
Those who heard this couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Even Zhou Xingdou couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and glance at the Desolate Heaven Empress, somewhat surprised that such a crazy woman could have such a heart.
On the contrary, Xiao Tianzuo, who had a blood feud with Zhang Santian, frowned, seemingly very resistant to what the Desolate Heaven Empress had just said.
But to everyone's surprise, Zhang Santian, the person involved, did not show any anger; instead, he laughed heartily.
"Haha, if I were to die, how could they possibly survive? Being captured by you actually allows them to live a few more days. I should thank you."
Zhang Santian's words were not empty boasting. He had traveled for thousands of years and had countless enemies. Not to mention anything else, even the Zhiyang General, whom he had killed, was the subject of the Zhiyin General, who was like a brother to the Zhiyang General and wished he could grind Zhang Santian's entire family to dust.
Not to mention the Desolate Heavenly Dynasty, the most powerful and influential force in the Desolate Heavenly Kingdom. That despicable couple has suffered quite a bit at his hands. If he were still alive, they would be hesitant to act against him, but if he were dead, his bloodline would be wiped out in less than a day.
So while the Desolate Empress's methods were indeed ruthless, they didn't have much effect on Zhang Santian.
Because he saw things clearly: if he didn't hand it over, he might live; as long as he lived, there was always a chance for things to turn around. But if he handed over the Great Palm Heavenly Scripture, he would surely die, and everything would be in vain. His bloodline might suffer an even more tragic fate.
Empress Huangtian watched as Zhang Santian slowly transformed from fear to arrogance, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes:
"Then you shall experience my methods!"
With that, the Desolate Heavenly Empress was about to enter the suppression area of the Floating Ancestral Pagoda to give this Great Heavenly King a good torment.
But at this moment, Zhou Xingdou raised his hand to stop the Desolate Heavenly Empress, then looked at the laughing Great Palm Heavenly King, and with a flip of his hand, the Heaven and Earth Furnace appeared in his hand.
The moment the scorching furnace that could incinerate heaven and earth and refine everything appeared, Zhang Santian's laughter stopped abruptly, and his eyes instantly turned to the red copper furnace in Zhou Xingdou's palm, his pupils shrinking sharply.
A wave of unease washed over him, giving him a strong premonition that this furnace could consume and refine everything about him, including his memories!
This premonition was extremely strong, and Zhang Santian's previously confident expression finally turned panicked again.
He cultivated the Great Palm Heaven Technique, and was deeply influenced by the will of Heaven. His mind was connected to Heaven and Earth, and the accuracy of his premonitions was beyond question; it was absolutely impossible for him to be wrong.
Zhou Xingdou smiled faintly. If Zhang Santian had not been suppressed by the Floating Pagoda and had been at the peak of his cultivation, even if the Heaven and Earth Furnace could refine him, it might not have been able to contain him.
But now, under the suppression of the Floating Pagoda, Zhang Santian is not only unable to move, but also has lost one-tenth of his cultivation. Therefore, Zhou Xingdou cannot let go of this humanoid medicine.
With a body imbued with the will of Heaven and cultivation at the Origin Realm, even when Zhang Santian's will of Heaven and various other methods were ineffective against him using his only source weapon, Zhang Santian's methods were still able to put him at a disadvantage and even confront him head-on, demonstrating his extraordinary physical strength.
Why resort to torture and humiliation of other men's wives and children? By directly refining oneself in the furnace of heaven and earth, one can not only greatly nourish oneself, but also obtain the most complete Great Palm Heaven Technique, which contains Zhang Tiansan's ten thousand years of experience, through the method of refining one's soul in the furnace of heaven and earth.
Not to mention, he was just one step away from entering the Yuanxiang realm with the Dragon Elephant realm. If he had the help of this Origin Realm humanoid medicine, as well as the Yuanxiang Venerable Medicine in the system warehouse, he might be able to achieve the Yuanxiang realm in one fell swoop!
