Chapter 1191

Dreamcloud Swamp

"Seven Star Setting Sun Sword!"

Zhou Chang shouted in a low voice. His right hand gripped the bronze sword, while his left hand formed a sword seal. Surging Yuan Power gushed out. Instantly, a pillar of light gushed out from the tip of the bronze sword. Soon after, the space above the bronze sword directly shattered. Seven stars descended from the crack, surrounding a blazing setting sun.

"Zhou Chang has used the Seven Star Setting Sun Sword?"

In the Great Zhou Institute's seating area, Zhou Bin suddenly stood up. His eyes were filled with a grave expression as he looked at Zhou Chang.

Under countless gazes, the Seven Star Setting Sun Sword and the boundless Buddhist light wheel heavily smashed together. Extremely terrifying vibrations spread throughout the area. Soon after, a blazing ball of light exploded on the stage. The ball of light pulsed and contracted, making it look extremely bizarre. The stage below the ball of light was completely shattered into countless pieces.

The explosion of the ball of light did not last for very long. When the ball of light gradually disappeared, a miserable figure was sent flying out of the stage.

Bang!

He landed on the ground like a meteor, emitting a dull thud. When everyone's gazes converged on this figure, gasps rang out one after another. This figure was none other than Zhou Chang.

Zhou Chang's face was pale, his hair was disheveled, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He looked extremely miserable.

Swish swish swish!

Everyone's gazes shifted from Zhou Chang to Zhuo Wen, who was in the arena. The silent atmosphere was broken in an instant, and an uproar rang out like an avalanche.

Although everyone was shocked that Zhuowen had defeated Zhou Hui, they could still accept it. However, even Zhou Chang had been defeated. This was a little unbelievable.

Zhou Hui was at the first level of the Immortal Emperor Realm. Moreover, he had fought with Qin Mu in the past and had expended a great deal of his energy. He didn't even have a tenth of his original strength left. Being defeated by Zhuowen was only a small surprise to the crowd. However, Zhou Chang was at the second level of the Immortal Emperor Realm and he was at the peak of the Heavenly Venerable Realm. Yet, Zhuowen was able to defeat Zhou Chang.

On the Great Cang Manor's seating area, everyone stood up. Their gazes were fixed on Zhuowen, who was on the stage. Their eyes were filled with respect. They knew that in this Hero Competition, their Great Cang Manor had obtained the final victory, and the main reason for this victory was because of Zhuowen, who was standing on the stage.

"Good, good, good!

Zhuowen, you are really good. "Cangjie suddenly stood up, his face full of excitement.

Behind him, Cang Die's beautiful eyes were also filled with shock. She stared at Zhuowen, but her heart was in a mess.

Yao Zhesheng and Cang Yang stood stiffly on the spot like statues. They didn't know what to do.

On the stage, Zhuowen waved his right hand. Zhuowen's Buddha body took a step forward and merged with Zhuowen's body. His eyes, which were filled with radiance, landed on Cangjie. He said, "Manor Lord!

I believe the outcome is already clear. "

Zhuowen's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like a great bell. It was extremely clear and resonant. Everyone's gaze landed on Cangjie.

Cangjie slowly stood up in front of everyone's gazes. His eyes were full of smiles as he said in a clear voice, "The final victor of this Hero Competition is Zhuowen of my Great Cang Manor."

After saying this, Cangjie's face was filled with pride. It was definitely a pleasant surprise for him that his Great Cang Manor had defeated the Great Zhou Institute.

On the Great Zhou Institute's seating area, Zhou Bin's mouth was agape. In the end, he didn't say a word. The outcome of Zhuowen and Zhou Chang's match was already very clear. Zhou Chang had suffered a crushing defeat, and there was nothing he could say to change the fact that Zhou Chang had lost.

"Why?

You're clearly only a peak Heavenly Venerate. How can you display such powerful battle strength? "Zhou Chang clutched his chest as he stared at Zhuowen on the stage and roared in a low voice.

Zhuowen looked down at Zhou Chang below the stage and slowly said, "Why can't a peak Heavenly Venerate possess the battle strength of a Martial Emperor?"

Zhuowen wasn't surprised that he had defeated Zhou Chang. With his Buddha body, Zhuowen's physical body had reached an undying and indestructible level. His battle strength was completely comparable to a third level Martial Emperor. Even a fourth level Martial Emperor wouldn't be able to kill the undying Buddha body Zhuowen so easily. Therefore, Zhou Chang's defeat was inevitable against the Buddha body Zhuowen.

After hearing Zhuowen's words, Zhou Chang abruptly took a few steps back. There was a trace of disappointment in his eyes. He had actually been defeated by Zhuowen. His outcome was almost exactly the same as Zhou Hui's.

"Haha!

Mansion Master Cangjie, your Great Cang Mansion is really amazing. It's really amazing to have such a monstrous genius. "

"A peak Heavenly Venerate could actually defeat Zhou Chang. If this lad's cultivation advances to the Emperor Realm, his battle strength will probably be even more terrifying."

"I really didn't expect Cangjie to have such a trump card. It seems like the top expert in your Great Cang Mansion should be Zhuowen."

After the Great Cang Mansion's victory was announced, the Mansion Masters of the Great Frame Mansion, the Great Tang Mansion, the Great Han Mansion, and the Great Chu Mansion who had already been eliminated came forward with smiles on their faces. They congratulated Cangjie and their eyes were filled with enthusiasm. At the same time, their gazes towards Zhuowen were filled with kindness and passion.

After Zhuowen consecutively defeated Zhou Hui and Zhou Chang, everyone knew just how terrifying the potential of this seemingly inconspicuous youth before them would be. Once this lad became a Martial Emperor, his battle strength would very likely be earth-shattering. Therefore, it was still beneficial for these weaker mansion masters to establish a good relationship with a junior with such terrifying potential.

In stark contrast to these enthusiastic headmasters, the headmaster of the Great Zhou Institute, Zhou Bin, as well as the other members of the Great Zhou Institute, had advanced to the final round at the same time. They had originally believed that the final victory of this Hero Gathering would belong to none other than their Great Zhou Institute. However, Zhuo Wen of the Great Cang Institute had suddenly emerged as a new force to be reckoned with, defeating both Zhou Hui and Zhou Chang consecutively, forcefully snatching away the victory that originally belonged to their Great Zhou Institute.

Behind the Great Cang Mansion's seating area, Cang Yang's expression was also rather ugly. He was originally the number one genius of the Great Cang Mansion and was revered by countless people. However, he had now been defeated by Zhou Chang, while Zhou Chang had been defeated by Zhuowen, whom he had previously not paid much attention to.

In an instant, the glory that he had previously enjoyed had completely collapsed. Even the title of the number one genius of the Great Cang Mansion had been crowned by Zhuowen.

"Haha!"

Cangjie laughed heartily. His eyes were filled with delight. This time, Zhuowen had truly helped him greatly. Therefore, his gaze towards Zhuowen had become increasingly pleasing to the eye.

"Everyone!

Since my Great Cang Mansion is the victor of this Hero Gathering, shouldn't everyone fulfill their promise and hand over the incomplete map of the Great Demon Sect Ruins? "Cangjie slowly floated in the air as his loud and clear voice spread to the ears of the crowd below.

As soon as his words came out, everyone's gaze turned sluggish. For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere became somewhat dignified. The faces of the other Mansion Masters, who were originally filled with enthusiasm, stiffened.

"Everyone, please don't forget the original intention of holding this Hero Gathering. After all, everyone has signed an agreement. As for the punishment for violating the agreement, everyone should know about it, right?" Cangjie's face suddenly turned cold as he said indifferently.

"Hmph!

Of course not. However, Cangjie, after you have gathered the incomplete map, you have to announce the complete map's content. This way, we will know the location of the Great Demon Sect Ruins, "Zhou Bin suddenly said.

Cangjie nodded and said, "Of course. After all, all of you are the almighty of your respective Mansion. If I were to swallow the map of the Great Demon Sect Ruins alone, wouldn't I be seeking my own death?"

Hearing this, the other Mansion Masters were relieved. Then, Zhou Bin waved his sleeves in an extremely straightforward manner and a scroll flew towards Cangjie.

With Zhou Bin's good start, the other Mansion Masters also nodded and threw their scrolls to Cangjie.

Cangjie's heart couldn't help but beat wildly when he received six scrolls in one go. He flicked his right hand and took out the seventh scroll. Suddenly, the seven scrolls combined together and burst out an extremely turbulent light.

"Hmm?"

The moment the seven scrolls combined, Zhuowen's eyes narrowed. This was because he found that the eighth map fragment, which was lying quietly in the Spirit Ring, had begun to stir.

However, Zhuowen calmly suppressed the commotion caused by the eighth map fragment. He didn't want to take out the eighth map fragment so early. After all, the seven Mansion Masters were present. If they knew that there was another map fragment with him, they would definitely force him to hand it over. At that time, Zhuowen wouldn't get any benefits at all.

The light gradually faded and the seven scrolls disappeared. What replaced them was a slightly tattered yellowish map. On the map, there were outlines of mountain ranges and regions.

Cangjie waved his right hand and took the yellowish map in his hand. The other six Mansion Masters rushed over and came to Cangjie's side.

"Everyone, please take a look at the location of the marks on this map for reference."

Cangjie was quite generous. With a wave of his right hand, the map unfolded above him and showed it to the other six Mansion Masters.

"This is the Dreamy Cloud Swampland in the extreme north?"

Zhou Bin suddenly pointed at an area with a vast body of water on the map and murmured in a low voice.

"It's very likely. The mark of the Great Demon Sect Ruins is near the Dreamy Cloud Swampland. However, this map doesn't seem to be complete. There are many places that haven't been marked, and the specific location of the Great Demon Sect hasn't been marked. Could it be that there are other map fragments that we haven't found?" Cangjie replied with a slight frown.

"Yes!

This map is still incomplete. I'm afraid that it's still missing some map fragments. "The Great Qin Mansion's Qin Xin echoed.

When they realised that the map wasn't complete, the seven Mansion Masters all frowned. The seven of them didn't expect that seven map fragments were unable to form a complete map of the Great Demon Sect Ruins.

"However, we now know that the Great Demon Sect Ruins is definitely in the Dreamy Cloud Swampland. It seems that we can only enter the Dreamy Cloud Swampland to search for the Great Demon Sect Ruins. My Great Zhou Institute will take our leave first."
