Chapter 237: Zhou Tong: Who in the hall dares to accuse me?
“Do you have a way?”
Everyone looked at him at the same time; even the Chief Enforcer had a trace of doubt on his face.
Despite Zhou Tong being the most outstanding prodigy they had ever seen, the Heavenly Dao Pact was absolute, and even a Sage could not shake it.
“I will sever their pact!”
Zhou Tong said resolutely.
“Absolutely not! If you do that, you will be struck by Heavenly retribution!”
Muran Ya said anxiously.
“My decision is final, no more talking!”
Zhou Tong placed his palm on the pact. This was no time for retreat. As a Strong Warrior of the Human Race, he must shoulder some responsibilities.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!
“Don’t always wear a worried expression. I was not the one who established this pact, so the cost of interfering with it will not be too great!”
Hearing this, Fire Heart hesitantly asked, as if recalling an unpleasant memory: “Do you also intend to exploit a loophole?”
“Exactly!”
“And aren’t you afraid that someone will initiate a Heavenly Dao arbitration appeal?”
“Ha ha ha…”
Zhou Tong burst out laughing. “Who in the hall dares to accuse me!”
When these words were spoken, Fire Heart was completely stunned.
To initiate a Heavenly Dao arbitration appeal, one would first need Great Saint level Spiritual Power. This single condition alone would eliminate everyone in the world.
Even if someone could temporarily reach the Great Saint Realm through certain means, they would still have to wait in line, and even if they did get their turn, they would have to endure the Spiritual Power oppression from Zhou Tong.
In short, the so-called Heavenly Dao arbitration appeal was utterly powerless against Zhou Tong.
“It’s about to start!”
Zhou Tong grabbed the gambling pact, intending to tear it up.
“Just wait a moment.”
The Chief Enforcer frowned, advising him to stop.
“You are too reckless. If it were an ordinary pact, it would be fine, but this pact involves the Earth’s Veins, and no one knows what consequences it might trigger. You should really think twice!”
“I’ve thought about it three times already, no more persuasion is needed!”
Zhou Tong firmly said. On the path of cultivation, who can make every move precisely without flaws?
For example, this pact, if handled incorrectly, the entire Eastern Continent would become a demon pit, a loss they couldn’t afford.
Although such a tragedy didn’t happen in his previous life, since Zhou Tong’s rebirth had already altered too many things, he dared not gamble!
Destiny still needs to be held in your own hands!
“You all step back, I’m about to act!”
In an instant, Zhou Tong’s body was bathed in dazzling light, an overwhelming presence emerged, pressuring the pact.
Behind him, the Void Universe unfolded, five red stars shone dazzlingly, each represented the fortunes of Tang Qi, Senior Apprentice Sister, Master, and two Celestial Kings. Now they all flickered, intending to protect him.
“Union Lock, shatter it!”
Red lightning erupted, wrapping around the pact, in the same instant, the Heaven and Earth phenomena changed drastically!
“Hoongloung!”
Accompanied by thunder, a colossal eye appeared in the sky, filled with boundless majesty.
“Not good, it is searching for cheaters. If it finds you, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Fire Heart deeply understood the stakes involved, but Zhou Tong had already gone deep into dealing with the pact.
In the next moment, the colossal eye discovered him. Its calm gaze transformed into one of anger; it was clear that terrifying punishment would fall next.
Sure enough, the eye directly shattered the void, calamities and trials rolling down!
“Hurry, get out of the way!”
Everyone’s faces changed as they felt the aura of the Three Calamities and Four Trials. Even a Sage would feel fear facing such punishment!
“Hoong!!”
Zhou Tong received the brunt of it, getting hit by the punishing gaze, blood immediately spluttering out from his wounds!
“Kid, stop now, don’t risk any more!”
Muran Ya’s face turned pale, her heart aching as if shattered, ready to rush in and fight together, yet she was held back by Yao Xian and Senior Apprentice Sister!
“Hahahaha…”
Though Zhou Tong was severely injured, he showed no fear and instead burst out laughing.
“Such Heavenly Tribulation is nothing, trying to destroy me? I think you are dreaming!”
In the next moment, he dropped all his defenses, allowing the power of the tribulation to surge into his body — he was consuming the tribulation!
“Woong…”
At that time, the four Slashing麟 Mirrors suddenly reacted, as if displeased.
“Next time if you attempt such foolishness, I will not care for you!”
After this, the Imperial Weapon Mirror reflected the tribulation back, striking the pact!
“You knew you wouldn’t leave me be, how cute you are!”
Zhou Tong smiled as he got his desired result.
“Woong!!!”
The Imperial Weapon violently flickered once before falling silent again, obviously sulking.
Zhou Tong had no time to worry about this. Only to see his eyes flash, using the gained power to explode and finally tear apart the pact!
“Cough!! Finally succeeded!”
He spat out a mouthful of blood, face bearing a look of wild excitement.
“The pact ends here. The Demonic Race’s plot is over!”
“Hoong!!!”
With the thunder, the Heavenly Dao Eye slowly closed. Since Zhou Tong had endured the punishment, everything was now over.
“Phew!!”
Zhou Tong sighed in relief but suddenly felt a jolt in his heart as an old voice rang in his ears.
“Good for you, boy, do you think this is over? Come with me!”
Flashes of white light enveloped him, and Zhou Tong was pulled into an unfamiliar space.
“Where am I?”
Looking around, he felt an exceedingly familiar sacred aura, his face turning pale with shock.
“Could this be the interior of the Earth’s Veins?”
“Boy, you know something at least!”
As the voice faded, an old figure appeared before him, exuding an immense and weighty aura, heavy like the Earth, seemingly encompassing everything.
“Are you… the spirit entity of the Earth’s Veins?!”
“Correct. You dared to openly oppose Heavenly Tribulation — you are quite the peculiar one. If it weren’t for my secret assistance, you would have been reduced to ashes!”
“The senior is truly merciful. I admire you, sir.” Zhou Tong bowed in gratitude.
“Merciful? Hah… not necessarily. The reason I saved you is because you are a unique existence!”
With a wave of his hand, a seed flew out of Zhou Tong’s lap.
The seed had seven bright colors, rich and vibrant, exuding a powerful life force.
“This is…”
Zhou Tong remembered. This seed was the one he found in the third secret realm, its origins unknown even to Yao Xian.
“Just this?”
Zhou Tong said casually.
“You must not underestimate it!”
The aura of the Earth’s Veins suddenly became sharp as it focused on him. “You broke my pact, so you are guilty, and if guilty, you must atone!”
“I will listen attentively!”
“Teachable youth, I will also make a wager pact with you. If you lose, you must become the nourishment for the Earth’s Veins!”
“What if I win?”
“Then I shall grant the Human Race one Authority!”
