The surrounding prided geniuses hastily retreated when they felt Tuntun’s ferocity.
By the side, Yaoyao’s pretty face had turned inconceivably cold for the first time. Her hands were tightly clenched and her gaze eerily frosty as the rune between her brows began to ripple faintly
“Don’t be rash!”
Zhou Yuan reached out a bloody hand, grabbing Yaoyao’s tiny hand and gripped it tightly. He remembered master Cang Yuan had said never to allow the seal on Yaoyao’s head to loosen.
Yaoyao looked towards Zhou Yuan. Her normally clean freak self did not mind Zhou Yuan’s bloody hand this time. She blamed herself slightly; she had nearly allowed Wu Huang to kill Zhou Yuan in front of her.
“Stop!”
A booming shout descended from the sky at this moment. The Sacred Palace envoy had turned his gaze down, the pressure of a Divine Dwelling expert sweeping down, suppressing Tuntun such that it was unable to move.
The Sacred Palace envoy growled, “The Saint Remains Domain is about to open, don’t cause any trouble!”
Luluo angrily said, “Then why didn’t you stop Wu Huang earlier?!”
The corners of Zuoqiu Qingyu’s also curled downwards as she remarked, “This envoy doesn’t know the meaning of fair.”
How could they not understand by now that the Sacred Palace envoy had purposely suppressed them earlier, preventing them from aiding Zhou Yuan.
It was obvious that the envoy of Sacred Palace was protecting Wu Huang.
The surrounding geniuses also broke out into whispers. The actions of the Sacred Palace envoy was indeed rather unfair.
In the sky above, the envoy’s expression turned somewhat ugly. He swept a cold glance at Zhou Yuan and the rest and declared, “Since you have complaints, don’t enter the Saint Remains Domain.”
Luluo’s and Zuoqiu Qingyu’s faces turned somewhat ugly. What a disgraceful envoy.
However, just as the Sacred Palace envoys’ words rang out, a figure within a similarly dazzling ball of light in the far off sky seemed to turn his gaze and looked in their direction as a mocking voice subsequently followed.
“Heh heh, Zhao Pan, you’re representing the Sacred Palace after all, so can you not look so ugly?”
Chapter 140 Saint Remains Domain
As the mocking voice rang out in the sky, countless gazes were drawn over. The one who had spoken was also one of the envoys from the six sacred sects.
Under the attention of those countless gazes, the glaring rays from the ball of light began to weaken, revealing the figure within. One would see a rather messy looking middle-aged man seated there with a pipe hanging from his mouth.
Boundless Genesis Qi violently swirled around him like a storm, seemingly causing the world around him to tremble.
Zhou Yuan was stunned by the sight of this figure. It was the same person who had asked him for wine yesterday.
He would never have imagined that the sloppy looking uncle would turn out to be one of the envoys from the six sacred sects.
Above the stone platform where Zhou Yuan and the rest were located, a dark look was revealed on the fair clean shaven face of Sacred Palace envoy called Zhao Pan. He shot a glance at the slovenly middle-aged man and said, “Oh? What teachings do you have, Mu Wuji?”
The scruffy looking middle-aged man puffed out a breath of green smoke, smiling faintly as he replied, “I’ve no interest in teaching. I only want to tell you that you don’t have the right to banish anyone here, because amongst them may be the future seedlings of the other five sects.”
Zhao Pan’s expression darkened. Just as he was about to retort, the other four envoys spoke up to mediate, “Both of you should hold back a sentence or two. All six of us are required to break through this mist, and it will be almost impossible if anyone is missing.”
In the end, Zhao Pan coldly snorted. His gaze icily swept across Zhou Yuan and the rest, before glancing at Wu Huang with a trace of dissatisfaction, evidently displeased that the latter had not killed Zhou Yuan in a single punch, causing trouble for him.
Wu Huang paid no heed to this dissatisfaction. He merely looked towards Zhou Yuan as his eyes narrowed slightly. The fact that the latter had blocked his punch had likewise surprised him.
Zhou Yuan lightly swung his bloody arms. The intense pain that emanated from them was testament to the power of Wu Haung’s earlier punch. If Zhou Yuan did not have his defensive grade 3 Genesis Rune, he would have likely ended up seriously injured or dead.
It seems that the other party was beginning to feel a little threatened now that his Spirit had reached the advance Illusory stage, and planned to finish him off in the quickest way possible.
However, from a certain point of view, wasn’t this a good thing?
Zhou Yuan’s face was akin to a serene rippleless lake as he stared at Wu Huang, but the killing intent in the former’s eyes had reached its peak. With a sudden laugh, Zhou Yuan slowly lowered his eyelids.
From what he could see, Wu Huang was not as indifferent towards Zhou Yuan as he looked. The actions of the former were clearly saying that he, Wu Huang, was afraid.
He was afraid that he would lose everything he possessed.
He was afraid that Zhou Yuan was really able to take everything back.
Zhou Yuan gently patted Tuntun’s head, causing the latter’s gigantic body to slowly begin to shrink. However, malicious intent still filled its eyes as they tightly locked onto Wu Huang.
By the side, Yaoyao was silent for a while before she said, “I will teach him a lesson if I meet him in the Saint Remains Domain, but don’t worry, I will not kill him.”
Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, before shooting a glance at Yaoyao. It seemed that Wu Huang’s actions had truly angered her this time.
Zhou Yuan scratched the back of his head, and could only say, “Try to take it easy.”
By the side, Zuoqiu Qingyu’s little hands were holding her red cheeks as she dreamily gazed at Yaoyao. The latter was so domineering at this moment.
After all, there were not many who had the qualifications to speak such words in the face of Wu Huang.
As the hostile atmosphere began to recede, the watching Xiao Tianxuan, Gu Ling and the rest shook their heads in disappointment. No one had expected that Zhou Yuan would actually be able to withstand Wu Huang’s powerful punch.
“This kid does have a little ability.” Remarked Xiao Tianxuan in a nonchalant manner.
The corners of Gu Ling's ruddy little mouth turned downwards. "He's just lucky. Given his capabilities, only death awaits him if he encounters Wu Huang for real."
The others nodded in agreement and chorused, "If he's unfortunate enough to bump into us in the Saint Remains Domain, we'll be sure to teach him a proper lesson and give Gu Ling some justice."
As they spoke, the six envoys in the sky concentrated on the mist above the holy river and suddenly acted at the same time.
Rumble!
Six raging rivers of Genesis Qi that spanned several hundred feet abruptly burst out from the top of their heads. Like giant pillars, the Genesis Qi barbarically shot into the seemingly endless mist.
The Genesis Qi pillars began to sweep and vibrate, tearing apart the mist one layer at a time.
However, there was a terrifying power within the mist. Ancient runes appeared and began blasting the six Genesis Qi pillars, shaving away layer after layer of Genesis Qi.
In the sky, the faces of the six envoys were grim, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent as they poured all of their attention into their Genesis Qi.
Astonishing auras erupted from their bodies, causing even the color of the world around them to change slightly. The prided geniuses below were silenced due to fear. Such power was still far beyond their reach.
“Is this the power of the Divine Dwelling stage?” Mumbled Zhou Yuan under his breath.
After the Alpha-Origin stage was the Divine Dwelling stage. Once one reaches this level, the Qi Dwelling in one’s body will undergo
a transformation. It was said that the Genesis Qi of those that have successfully transformed their Qi Dwellings into Divine Dwellings would also evolve, becoming far more powerful than ordinary Genesis Qi.
Under the watching eyes of the countless geniuses, six glowing pillars of Genesis Qi continued to stir within the mist. The six envoys gave their all, and everyone soon began to see a faint cavity appear within the thick, almost vicious mist.
As one peered past the thin mist, one seemed to be able to see the ancient land of the Saint Remains Domain.
“Everyone, enter now!”
While the crowd was focused on the gap within the mist, the shouts of the six envoys rang out like thunder.
Rumble!
The moment these words were said, it was as if the entire world began to heave. Countless prided geniuses immediately shot forward, transforming to glowing figures as they charged into the cavity within the mist.
Zhou Yuan looked towards the rest and said, “We should get a move on too. No one knows what will happen in the Saint Remains Domain so be careful.”
Yaoyao, Luluo and Zuoqiu Qingyu nodded.
Swish!
In the next moment, they shot forward together.
The group reached the hole within the mist in the short span of a dozen breaths. No one dared to tarry, pushing their Genesis Qi to the limits as their speed soared.
“We’re about to enter!”
Zhou Yuan watched the faint white mist surge towards him as he took in a deep breath, the Genesis Qi around him rippling as it protected his body.
Boom!
Their bodies finally hit the mist. Space began to distort as if they were crashing into another world, making it impossible to steady one’s body, and have no choice but to be randomly tossed around.
Zhou Yuan was thrown around till he saw stars. A long time seemed to pass, before he finally felt the space around him solidify as his body was powerfully flung outwards.
Crash!
Zhou Yuan crashed into the ground, eating a mouthful of soil.
He ignored the pain, performing a tumble before getting up. What met his eyes was an ancient world as if he had been transported back to a prehistoric era…
“Is this the Saint Remains Domain?”
Zhou Yuan mumbled to himself as he gazed upon the ancient land before him.
Chapter 141 Enemies Inevitably Meet
While the countless prided geniuses of the Cangmang Continent flooded into the Saint Remains Domain, no one knew that something important was happening in a certain far off continent. On this particular continent, dazzling light was currently exploding from a mountain top. One would see that an enormous Genesis Rune boundary had been inscribed into the ground. Astonishing undulations pulsed from it, gathering all of the surrounding Genesis Qi.
At this current time, five figures stood at the center of this gigantic Genesis Rune boundary.
Several figures stood in the air outside the giant Genesis Rune boundary. Extremely powerful Genesis Qi rippled from their bodies as terrifying pressures suffocated the area.
Outside the Genesis Rune boundary, a stern elder said in a low voice, “Ye Ming, the Saint Remains Domain in the Cangmang Continent has already been opened, and we will soon start up the teleportation Genesis Rune to send the five of you in. The five of you are the most elite prided geniuses of our Dongxuan Continent, and your task will be to snatch away the greatest gift of the Saint Remains Domain. If you succeed, your futures will definitely be limitless!”
Another old granny in black said, "The Cangmang Continent is a chaotic mess in comparison to our Dongxuan Continent that it controlled by us, the five great clans. While the five of you are the most elite prided geniuses that the five great clans have spared no effort in nurturing. Therefore, you absolutely cannot lose to the geniuses from the Cangmang Continent!"
One of the five individuals inside the Genesis Rune boundary scratched the back of his head, displaying an innocent smile as he asked, "Although there are no powerful factions in the Cangmang Continent, the envoys from the six sacred sects will be there. Will they make things difficult for us if we're found out?"
The stern elder answered in an indifferent tone, "The gifts and blessings of the world do not belong to any one person. If the geniuses of the Cangmang Continent are incapable of securing the gifts offered to them, it will naturally be passed on to those with ability. That's why the six sacred sect envoys will not say anything even if they find out. As long as you succeed, you will also naturally be able to enter the six sacred sects."
In the Genesis Rune boundary, a tall and slender girl waved her hand and nonchalantly said, “Relax, it’s just a mere Cangmang Continent. We’ve already familiarized ourselves with their top geniuses, and they won’t be much of a problem.
The granny in black looked towards the center of the group where a young man in black robes stood. “Ye Ming, you will serve as the leader on this mission, and everyone else will listen to your orders.”
The eyes of the youth in black robes had been lightly shut since the beginning, only slowly opening after hearing the granny’s words. Black pupils that seemed to contain pure darkness, a sight that was incomparably strange. He did not reply the granny, but instead looked towards the other four prided geniuses with those pitch-black eyes as he said in a detached manner, “Regardless of whether it is the geniuses of the Cangmang Continent or you guys, whoever obstructs me will be… killed.”
His tone was as ordinary as could be, containing neither emotion nor killing intent. When he spoke, however, the other four elite geniuses of the Dongxuan Continent shivered and unexpectedly did not retort.
Upon seeing that no one had anything to say, the youth in black robes lifted his head, looked outside of the Genesis Rune boundary and nonchalantly said, “Let’s begin.”
The stern elder and the other four nodded. With a wave of their sleeves, vigorous Genesis Qi whizzed out and poured into the Genesis Rune boundary. It immediately began to shake as space started to twist and distort.
While the space around them distorted, the five figures within the Genesis Rune gradually faded away. With one final burst of light, their figures completely disappeared.
Upon seeing the five figures vanish, the stern elder and his group finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“The Cangmang Continent is nothing special, yet they possess a Saint Remains Domain. We can’t be blamed for having designs on it.”
“Haha, relax. Ye Ming and the other four are the most outstanding younger generation talents of our five clans. With them in play, what can the geniuses of a tiny Cangmang Continent possibly amount to?”
“Yes, there will be no obstructions this time. As long as they manage to obtain the greatest gift, an expert that can open a Law Domain might appear in our five clans. When that happens, we may even end up establishing our own sect and become a true behemoth like existence in Cangxuan Heaven.
...
What appeared before Zhou Yuan was an endless ancient land. Ancient trees that reached into the sky, giant mountains that seemed to pierce the clouds. The entire land was filled with an ancient and barbaric aura.
When one looked towards the sky, one would no longer see the swirling mist, but instead a dim yellow hue that was clearly different from the outside world.
“I’m afraid that this Saint Remains Domain exists in a different space.” Mumbled Zhou Yuan to himself.
This Saint Remains Domain may perhaps be a tiny corner of the Cangmang Continent, but the land reflected his eyes was extremely vast. If one really had to compare, it may even be larger than the entire Cangmang Continent.
“To think a drop of blood from a Saint would become such a mystical land…” Zhou Yuan sighed. He truly wondered how strong the so-called Saint was that a single drop of blood could transform into a world of its own.
“Hmm… I seem to be separated from Yaoyao and the rest.” Zhou Yuan scanned his surroundings, finding it completely empty and without a single soul
in sight. It was more than obvious that Yaoyao and the rest were not here.
“Looks like I’ll have to get going alone.” Zhou Yuan shook his head. He was not worried about Yaoyao. Although she was unable to use Genesis Qi, her Spirit cultivation was outrageously amazing. Only a handful of prided geniuses from the Cangmang Continent would be able to threaten her.
Zhou Yuan did not hesitate for long, randomly choosing a direction as Genesis Qi began to rise around him. With a stamp of his foot, his body shot forward.
After travelling at full speed for about a dozen minutes, Zhou Yuan’s eyes suddenly focused. A lake had appeared some distance to his front.
Zhou Yuan concentrated, his expression involuntarily changing a split second later. He had discovered a figure standing by the lakeside.
Golden robes and a dignified aura. Everything about the figure was just too familiar. It was Wu Huang!
As the saying went, it was inevitable for enemies to meet!
So many people had been scattered, but he just had to encounter Wu Huang.
When Zhou Yuan discovered Wu Huang, the latter also seemed to sense something. He turned his head, his gaze instantly finding Zhou Yuan, causing him to be momentarily stunned.
However, Wu Huang swiftly regained his wits, and could not help but break out into a soft laughter that gradually grew louder and louder.
After laughing for some time, he finally stopped, staring at Zhou Yuan as he said, “Do you know what I was thinking about just now?”
“I was thinking about where should I go to find you, the cripple dragon of the Zhou clan, so I can finally eliminate any potential threat you might become.”
“And just as this problem was beginning to vex me, you decided to appear…”
“Do you know what this means?”
“It means I possess the true blessings. Whatever I wish for will naturally become reality.”
Wu Huang stared at Zhou Yuan, a toying look in his eyes as if he was looking at prey that could not escape the palm of his hand.
“Crippled dragon of the Zhou clan, that is why I am the true dragon!”
