The ape’s body tore across the ground, creating a long scar as towering trees continued to fall one after another.
In contrast, Wu Huang had only been forced a dozen steps back before he slowly drifted down, his expression as indifferent as before.
Besides Ye Ming, the other four from the Dongxuan Continent glanced at Wu Huang in amazement.
Luluo could not help but remark, “This guy is really monstrous!”
Though she had previously finished off a grade 4 Genesis Beast, it had only been possible after pulling out all the stops. In comparison, Wu Huang had grandly suppressed a grade 4 Genesis Beast in a direct clash of power.
A trace of graveness also appeared on Zhen Xu’s pale expressionless face.
No emotion was present in Wu Huang’s gaze as he looked towards Zhou Yuan. “Did you believe that hiding here will make me afraid?”
Zhou Yuan seemed to smile, a smile that had a hint of ridicule.
Roar!
It was at this moment that the giant scaled ape climbed to its feet and released a deafening roar of anger.
The roar echoed into the distance, resounding across the mountain forest.
Rumble!
Almost immediately after, wild Genesis Qi began to explode in the depths of the forest one after another. The mountain forest shook as four giant beasts swiftly emerged, stopping behind the giant scaled ape.
Genesis Qi churned around these four titans, clearly indicating that each and every one was a grade 4 Genesis Beast.
Wu Huang and Ye Ming’s expression finally changed slightly.
Ye Ming shot a glance at Zhou Yuan and remarked, “What a beautiful plan of urging tigers to devour wolves.”
“Unfortunately, it won’t work.”
His pitch-black pupils stared at the five grade 4 Genesis Beasts before them as the vortexes within slowly began to swirl, and a strange ripple began to spread.
The bodies of the giant scaled ape and the other grade 4 Genesis Beasts turned slack for a moment, black vortexes appeared in their eyes as if they had fallen into a hallucination.
Tears of blood fell from the corners of Ye Ming’s eyes as a tired look appeared within them.
“He… he has taken control of the five grade 4 Genesis Beasts?” Luluo’s shocked voice sounded.
Zhou Yuan’s eyes widened at this moment. “Its an eye technique powered by Spirit energy. Genesis Beasts may have strong bodies, but their Spirits are comparatively weaker, making them easily countered by him.”
Zhou Yuan said in a low voice, “To the golden pool!”
Little Frost shot forth the moment his voice rang out.
“None of you will escape today!” Wu Huang’s icy voice followed, his figure transforming into a flash of scarlet light, fast as rushing thunder as he doggedly gave chase.
Behind him, Ye Ming and the rest quickly followed.
Rumble!
Two groups, one fleeing, one chasing, giving rise to a huge disturbance in the depths of the mountain range.
They crossed numerous mountains in a short few minutes. Golden light soon blossomed before their eyes, only for them to see a giant mountain standing some distance to their front. The top of the mountain was akin to a volcano, only endless gold light spread from its mouth, dazzling like a pool of gold.
“The golden pool!” Luluo’s eyes glowed as she stared at the mountain top.
Behind them, Wu Huang, Ye Ming and the rest closely followed, desire surfacing in their eyes as their gazes fell upon the resplendent golden pool.
“It seems that the golden pool blessings are fated to be ours.” Ye Ming laughed as he rubbed his hands together. “I really have to thank you for leading the way.”
Roar!
However, several roars suddenly rang out across the area the moment Ye Ming’s laughter faded. Next, the pupils of everyone on both sides shrank when they saw enormous beast after beast appear on the mountain top, scarlet-red eyes rapidly locking onto the humans.
Over a dozen grade 4 Genesis Beasts!
This line-up made the expressions of both parties change.
However, it was still not over. The titanic beasts prostrated themselves, their heads lowered as if they were bowing.
Zhen Xu’s expression did not look too good either as he said, “Rumor speaks of a mysterious Genesis Beast leader at the golden pool to whom numerous grade 4 Genesis Beasts have yielded.”
Zhou Yuan’s brows tightly knitted together. It seems that the rumors were true. This was really unlucky for them, tigers behind and wolves in front...
“If things become worse, we’ll quickly escape amidst the chaos.” Said Zhou Yuan in a soft voice.
Luluo and Zhen Xu nodded. Even Luluo was no longer thinking about the golden pool now.
Some distance behind them, Wu Huang and Ye Ming’s expressions turned grave. They could faintly feel an alarmingly powerful undulations in the depths of the golden light.
Under their guarded gazes, a low roar filled with dignity rang out from the top of the giant mountain, causing every Genesis Beast on the mountain to tremble.
A giant figure slowly emerged from within the golden light. In the end, the figure stepped out, appearing in everyone’s sights.
Eh?
Everyone was stunned the moment the figure revealed itself, because the thing that had appeared was no behemoth, but a dull gray little dog like creature.
The little beast yawned lazily, its beady eyes disdainfully looking towards the gathered crowd.
Zhou Yuan and Luluo blankly watched this scene. Moments later, they were unable to stop themselves from vigorously rubbing their eyes before very carefully looking again as their expressions turned extremely spectacular.
Luluo asked in a hesitant voice, “Zhou Yuan… are my eyes deceiving me? Why does that little creature look almost exactly like Tuntun?”
Zhou Yuan was silent. In the end, he violently nodded his head.
“Your eyes aren’t wrong!”
“This little bastard has been enjoying his time as a king here while we were outside desperately fighting for our lives!”
Chapter 172 Tuntun’s Rage
Numerous beasts had prostrated themselves at the top of the mountain. The target of their respect was unexpectedly not a mighty giant beast, but a mysterious little dull gray creature.
Zhou Yuan and Luluo had naturally recognized it immediately.
This little creature was the final one that had yet to be found ever since entering the Saint Remains Domain, Tuntun!
Even Zhou Yuan could not help but be somewhat stupefied, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Who could have expected that Tuntun would be hiding here as the king of the mountain, enjoying a free and easy life.
“You know this little creature?” In contrast to Zhou Yuan and Luluo’s shock, Zhen Xu’s face was filled with graveness. He was no ordinary individual, and naturally did not believe that the little creature was as simple as it seemed. Did no one see how respectful the other grade 4 Genesis Beasts were being to it?
The little creature was obviously the most terrifying Genesis Beast here.
“Don’t worry, everything should be fine now.” Zhou Yuan consoled.
He then lifted his hand and waved at Tuntun.
However, Tuntun ignored his wave, its eyes still filled with the same disdain.
Zhen Xu shot a skeptical look at Zhou Yuan.
The corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth twitched in embarrassment. Subsequently, he let out an icy laugh as his hand suddenly patted his Universe bag, causing a piece of dried meat to appear.
Swish!
The moment the meat appeared, the disdain in the little creature’s eyes instantly changed, transforming into a shadow as it shot forward with a swish.
With a flip of his hand, the meat disappeared.
Tuntun appeared in front of him, circling him twice as it roared impatiently.
“Are you going to continue pretending?” Zhou Yuan sneered.
Tuntun jumped int
o Zhou Yuan’s arms, sticking out its tongue to lick the latter’s face, a fawning look in its beady eyes.
Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes, before throwing the dried meat to it.
Zhou Yuan ignored Tuntun, which was now immersed in the beautiful flavor of the dried meat, as he turned around with an unfriendly look in his eyes. His seemingly smiling gaze was cast at Wu Huang, Ye Ming and the rest, whom expressions had begun to change.
Ye Ming’s expression sunk slightly as he muttered, “How did this happen? Why does that mysterious little creature know him?”
The scene before their eyes had already surpassed everyone’s expectations.
Wu Huang’s complexion was a little ashen. “There was indeed a little creature at Zhou Yuan’s side, but I never imagined that it would be so capable that even these grade 4 Genesis Beast have submitted to it.”
Zhu Ying, Jiang Quan and the rest moved closer together, their expressions vigilant. If the little creature commanded these grade 4 Genesis Beasts to attack them, they would have no choice but to flee.
While the expression on the other side were looking pretty ugly, Zhou Yuan evily looked towards them and coldly chuckled. “Didn’t it feel really good when you guys were chasing us earlier?”
Zhou Yuan gently patted Tuntun’s head, while his other hand pointed towards Wu Huang and Ye Ming. “You selfish creature, to think that you were enjoying your life here instead of protecting Yaoyao.”
“Do you know that these two bastards ganged up on Yaoyao, resulting in her being injured, and we can’t even find her now.”
Tuntun, who was originally still savouring the dried meat, suddenly stiffened. Its attention immediately left the meat as a somewhat terrifying roar was released from its throat.
Tuntun’s intelligence was extremely high, and knew that its duty was to protect Yaoyao as her guardian beast. Thus, there was no way it would allow Yaoyao to sustain even the smallest injury even at the expense of being unable to eat delicious dried meat.
It lifted its head, its beady eyes staring straight into Zhou Yuan’s own, as if confirming what he had said earlier.
Zhou Yuan looked into its eyes and slowly nodded.
Tuntun silently threw away the dried meat in front of it, before jumping out of Zhou Yuan’s arms as its beady eyes were cast towards Wu Huang and Ye Ming. Everyone could feel the astonishing ferocity that exploded from Tuntun’s tiny body at this moment.
Roar!
Scarlet light unfurled as Tuntun’s body abruptly grew. In a few breaths, a mysterious and dignified giant scarlet-red beast had appeared in front of Zhou Yuan’s group.
The scarlet armor on its body was akin to flowing magma, while the black light in its giant mouth seemed to be capable of devouring all things.
A storm of Genesis Qi violently swept out from its body, stirring up the surrounding space.
Roar!
Upon sensing Tuntun’s rage, the dozen grade 4 Genesis Beasts let loose deafening roars, making the entire mountain range shiver.
The expressions of Wu Huang, Ye Ming and the rest involuntarily changed, clearly feeling the almost crazed killing intent in Tuntun’s roar.
Boom!
A dozen grade 4 Genesis Beasts suddenly shot forward, pouncing towards Wu Huang’s group.
Ye Ming decisively shouted, “Retreat!”
Their figures rapidly withdrew.
“Hehe, trying to escape?” However, the moment they began to move, Luluo had already appeared some distance behind them riding Little Frost. Its wings flapped, shooting out a torrent of ice spikes.
Her attack was instantly torn apart by Wu Huang and the rest, but the ice dust had already began to drift across the area, seemingly freezing the space around them and slowing their speed.
It was at this moment that the dozen Genesis Beasts arrived amidst thunderous roars, their merciless attacks seemingly covering the sky as they swept towards Wu Huang’s group.
Bang bang!
The land seemed to crumble. Wu Huang, Ye Ming and the rest did not dare to face the bombardment, their figures rapidly retreating.
Tuntun’s flame like scarlet eyes locked onto them. All of a sudden, its body transformed into a flash of scarlet light as it shot forward.
Wu Huang’s pupils abruptly shrank.
He had seen a scarlet-red figure appear behind him from the corner of his eye. Enormous claws slashed downwards as strange black light flickered, washing the originally scarlet-red claws in a layer of black.
Five tears were ripped open in space itself, while the long scars were torn open on the ground below by the surplus force, their insides clean as a mirror.
“What a terrifying Genesis Beast!”
Wu Huang’s expression was grim. He could already feel the astonishing undulations contained beneath the claw. As for the flickering black light, it seemed to be an extremely tyrannical power.
He did not dare to underestimate the attack at all. A thunderous shout exploded from his mouth.
“Little Heaven Genesis technique, Golden Crow Heaven Seal!”
One hand formed a seal as fiery-red Genesis Qi erupted, culminating into a seal of light that was several dozen feet large. Within the seal, a three-legged golden crow was faintly discernible as it spat out boundless flames.
The moment he used this move, the ground within a thousand feet radius instantly dried and cracked.
The light seal shot forward, slamming into the enraged Tuntun’s claw.
Boom!
The entire world seemed to shake for an instant. Next, a terrifying shockwave unfurled, blowing away everyone nearby.
As the dust settled, everyone cast their gazes over.
The ground had been sundered, creating an enormous crack. Tuntun’s giant body had also been sent flying backwards, its claws digging into the ground, leaving behind deep claw marks.
Its claws were a little burnt, evidently due to Wu Huang’s attack.
Opposite Tuntun, Wu Huang had slid over a hundred feet back. His expression was pretty grim, the five deep to the bone wounds on his arm dripping with blood.
Luluo’s eyes nearly popped out from their sockets, clearly surprised that Wu Huang had been injured after a single clash.
“An angry Tuntun is too scary…”
Chapter 173 Leaving One’s Name on the Saint Tablet
The ground was scorched black and in a complete mess.
Wu Huang grimly looked towards the wounds on his arm as his eyes twitched slightly. He had not expected the sharpness of Tuntun’s claw attack to reach such an astonishing level.
His Genesis Qi defenses had not put up much of a resistance, and were easily torn apart.
Ye Ming approached Wu Huang, shooting a glance at the latter’s arm as his pupils shrank slightly. “This Genesis Beast is not normal.”
Wu Huang nodded. “Its bloodline is extremely powerful.”
The mysterious Genesis Beast was ferociously overbearing. He did not dare to hold anything back against it.
However, the current situation would very likely not allow him to engage it in a one on one fight.
Wu Huang coldly said, “If you have nothing else up your sleeves, I will be finding a way to leave on my own. None of us will be able to escape if this continues.”
The current situation was extremely unfavorable to them. Without mentioning the watching Zhou Yuan and gang, just those dozen grade 4 Genesis Beasts alone were already enough to give them a terrible headache.
If this continued, things would go wrong sooner or later.
Ye Ming also clearly understood this. He could not help but sigh as his gaze turned towards Zhou Yuan. “I did not expect the situation to develop in such a manner. Zhou Yuan is indeed a problem. No wonder he could become your arch-enemy…”
“But don’t worry, if we want to leave, they will not be able to stop us.”
He slowly walked forwards, both hands suddenly forming a seal as black vortexes surfaced in his pitch-black pupils and began to spin wildly.
> “Night Devil Qi, Night Devil Heaven!”
Two night black beams of Genesis Qi abruptly shot out from Ye Ming’s eyes. In an instant, the entire land seemed to fall into an endless darkness.
Darkness filled the sky and covered the land. Not only was one’s sight obstructed, even one’s Spirit senses had been weakened to the limit.
Roar!
The grade 4 Genesis Beasts lost their sense of direction, making them afraid to carelessly attack. They held their positions and took measures to guard themselves as they released low roars.
“Keep close, gather together.” Zhou Yuan’s voice spread. Such darkness was difficult to dispel. Attacking alone would undoubtedly give the other side a chance to find an opening.
Zhen Xu and Luluo approached the origin of the voice, and kept close to Zhou Yuan’s side. As for Tuntun, its scarlet-red eyes swept across the area, before slowly moving backwards.
“Truly troublesome.”
Mumbled Ye Ming in the darkness.
He had originally planned on catching them off guard before striking. If the other side was to carelessly attack, he could gather his forces and wipe them out as fast as possible.
However, Zhou Yuan had swiftly responded, causing his plan to fail.
“Looks like we can only withdraw.”
He shook his head, before flicking with his finger. A faint sound was transmitted into the ears of Wu Huang, Zhe Ying and the rest, causing everyone to immediately fall back.
The darkness gradually faded.
Luluo immediately looked towards the area Wu Huang and the rest had been at, only to find that it was now empty. Their figures were already at the edge of the horizon, evidently having decided to escape some time ago.
“They’ve fled!” The outcome was clearly not to Luluo’s liking.
Zhou Yuan also felt rather regretful. It had been an opportunity to bury Wu Huang, Ye Ming and the rest here, but their seemingly endless bag of tricks made this task very difficult.
Zhou Yuan gazed in the direction they had disappeared in as his eyes narrowed slightly, icy killing intent flashing within.
“No hurry, we will have our chance. We’ll eventually have to decide the ultimate victor in the Saint Remains Domain after all.”
