Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

by Translator: Yeow

  Everyone was dumbstruck.

  Even Zhao Pan’s mouth hung slightly open, his face filled with shock.

  Mu Wuji blinked in disbelief as he mumbled, “How did the kid do it?”

  Wu Huang’s previous offensive could not have been any more powerful. According to Mu Wuji’s estimates, even a three layer Alpha-Origin expert would not dare to face the attack head-on, leaving no option but to withdraw.

  And yet, the Heaven Gate stage Zhou Yuan had somehow blasted it apart in the most simple and barbaric of manners?

  Zhou Yuan’s figure emerged from the specks of light that danced and filled the sky, still in a punching posture, while golden scales flickered on his fist.

  At closer inspection, one would discover a faint trace of purple on the golden scales, causing them to give off a purplish gold luster.

  “Is this the third level of the Magical Python Scales, the purplish gold scales?” Zhou Yuan’s gaze was lowered, looking at the hint of purplish gold on the scales.

  “But the purple is too thin. It seems that it’s still not the true purplish gold scales.”

  Zhou Yuan shook his head. Even so, he could already feel the overwhelming power brought by the faintly purplish gold Magical Python Scales. In his feat of destroying the giant scarlet gravel fist with a single punch, the Saint Rune may have played the main cast, but the contribution from the Magical Python Scales could not be ignored either.

  Zhou Yuan raised his head, his icy gaze looking towards the shocked Wu Huang. Without wasting any time, the former slammed his foot into the ground.

  Thud!

  The ground cracked.

  Zhou Yuan’s figure was launched forward, appearing behind Wu Huang in a flash.

  Five fingers tightly clenched into a fist as a punch blasted through the air.

  Wu Huang’s returned to his senses and hurriedly spat out a ball of scarlet-red Genesis Qi that rapidly turned into a red shield in front of his body.

  Ancient patterns flickered in Zhou Yuan’s pupils, immediately finding several light dots on the Genesis Qi shield.

  Zhou Yuan was expressionless as his fist punched into one of the light dots. Berserk power swept forth, instantly shattering Wu Huang’s Genesis Qi defenses.

  Wu Huang’s expression changed, unable to comprehend why Zhou Yuan had suddenly become so formidable. Even so, the former’s senses told him that Zhou Yuan’s strength had still not risen to the point where he could overwhelm Wu Huang.

  But why was Zhou Yuan able to so cleanly and easily destroy his defenses?

  Wu Huang’s figure quickly retreated in a rather miserable manner.

  Zhou Yuan chased like a shadow, crazed attacks sweeping towards his opponent. No matter what kind of defences Wu Huang put it, they were all ultimately destroyed in the most efficient of manners.

  “Blasted, why is this happening?! How can he so easily shatter all my defenses?!” Wu Huang’s eyes had turned red, filled with both alarm and anger.

  Swish!

  Zhou Yuan paid no attention to Wu Huang, appearing behind him again in a flash as fists surrounded by vigorous Genesis Qi viciously attacked.

  Wu Huang had no time to avoid this time, Genesis Qi once again forming a scarlet-red battle armor on his body.

  However, Zhou Yuan seemed to not even see the armor, fists quick as lightning as they simultaneously struck dozens of spots on the armor.

  Every hit landed on the weakest areas of the Genesis Qi battle armor. As such, it was blown apart in practically an instant.

  Thud!

  Wu Huang vomited a mouthful of fresh blood, his figure shooting straight downwards into the ground, creating a deep pit in the white jade floor.

  Zhou Yuan’s eyes were as cold as the edge of a blade. Without any hesitation, his figure swiftly shot downwards, his knees slamming into Wu Huang’s body as a rain of punches descended with a loud yell.

  Thud thud!

  Every punch struck flesh, cracking open the ground below a little more with each hit. Wu Huang was having a really miserable time, blood wildly spouting from his mouth.

  Both the inside and outside of the Saint Remains Domain was completely silent as they watched Zhou Yuan pummel Wu Huang...

  None of them understood why Zhou Yuan had suddenly become so overwhelming all of a sudden, as if he had taken some kind of battle drug. It seemed that any attack of Wu Huang’s was merely equivalent to air in Zhou Yuan’s eyes...

  Zhao Pan’s expression was so stormy that it nearly about to rain.

  Mu Wuji could not help but awkwardly scratch his head. He felt as if Zhou Yuan had transformed into a completely different person, so fierce that it was a little unreasonable.

  Boom!

  On the white jade plaza, Zhou Yuan’s fists suddenly paused from their onslaught as a burst of berserk Genesis Qi frantically erupted from Wu Huang’s body, catapulting the former away.

  Zhou Yuan’s feet slid on the ground before he quickly steadied his body, eyes now slightly narrowed as he looked to his front.

  There was a huge hole there. Wu Huang’s bloodied body lay within it, a sight that was sorry to the extreme.

  Zhou Yuan panted as he clenched his fists. The scales tinged with a slight trace of purplish gold had broken in many places. Blood also dripped from them, raw flesh visible in some areas where even bone could be seen.

  However, Zhou Yuan ignored his wounds, his eyes akin to a sharp blade as he stared at Wu Huang’s figure in the hole.

  The latter was a miserable sight, clearly pretty badly hurt by Zhou Yuan’s earlier barrage. However, he was frowning slightly because every time he tried to deal a fatal blow, he could faintly feel a force in Wu Huang’s body neutralizing any strike that was enough to kill...

  “This guy…”

  As Zhou Yuan stared, Wu Huang’s bloody body shakily stood up from the hole.

  Wu Huang’s eyes were a sea of blood-red, filled with indescribable fury and savageness. Never in his wildest dreams would he have ever imagined that he would be beaten into such a pathetic state by that crippled dragon.

  For the prideful and arrogant Wu Huang, this was even harder to accept than dying.

  “Hahahaha…”

  Wu Huang stared at Zhou Yuan. In the end, he lifted his head to the sky and laughed loudly, a laugh thick with murder.

  “Zhou Yuan ah Zhou Yuan, I truly never expected that there will come a day when I, Wu Huang, would fall into such a pathetic and miserable state because of you.”

  “However…”

  “Even so, you still cannot kill me!”

  Mockery rose from the corners of his lips as he stared at Zhou Yuan and asked, “Do you know why?”

  The savagery in his eyes grew more and more violent, before he suddenly ripped his clothes apart, revealing his naked body. One would see the faint silhouette of a dragon coiling on the surface of his skin.

  Zhou Yuan’s pupils abruptly tightened, staring hard at the dragon silhouette in Wu Huang’s flesh. A heart rendering pain suddenly tore through him the instant he saw it.

  An intense pain that had flooded out from the deepest part of his memory.

  Back then, he had lain on that ice-cold altar while king Wu stole his sacred dragon blessing and poured it into Great Wu’s python and sparrow. The intense pain he felt at that moment so many years ago was the same one he felt now...

  Blood surged up in Zhou Yuan’s eyes bit by bit.

  “Can you feel it?” Wu Huang laughed sinsiterly.

  The blood-red dot between his brows seemed to grow increasingly redder at this moment as a low dragon roar echoed from within his body.

  “Hahahaha…”

  “That’s right. This is the sacred dragon blessing that had been stripped from your body back then!”

  “With it protecting me, how can you possibly kill me?!”

  Crisp cracking sounds emanated from Zhou Yuan’s fist, his fingernails digging deep into his flesh. He face twitched faintly as violent savagery flooded his eyes.

>   “So what if you’re angry?”

  Wu Huang released a chilling chuckle, cocking his head as he continued to stare at Zhou Yuan. “It seems that you’ve never experienced the sacred dragon blessing before, right? Since that it so, I’ll let you have a good feel today.”

  “Zhou Yuan, how do you feel about dying by the sacred dragon blessing that originally belonged to you?”

  “Haha, you pitiful worm! All of your efforts will turn to foam today!”

  Wu Huang laughed madly. In the next instant, his expression twisted into incomparable maliciousness and savagery as a dark and chilling voice abruptly sounded.

  “Dragon blessing, Dragon Transformation!”

  Chapter 195 Scarlet Dragon Breath

  Roar!

  The berserk roar of a dragon seemed to thunder from Wu Huang’s body at this moment.

  While it continued to echo, the dragon silhouette on Wu Huang’s skin faintly trembled, before flooding into his flesh and blood. Wu Huang’s body immediately began to swell.

  Dragon scales emerged on the surface of his body, while his hands also started showing signs of draconification, sharp fingernails flickering with icy light that made one’s heart thud a little harder.

  Of course, the most terrifying transformation of all was the steadily strengthening Genesis Qi that had erupted from Wu Huang’s body.

  Even the surrounding floor began to crumble inch by inch do to the powerful Genesis Qi pressure.

  Every person both in and outside of the Saint Remains was speechless for a time as they looked at the horrifying thing Wu Huang had become...

  No one had expected such a degree of abnormality from Wu Huang. To think that he still had such an astonishing trump card up his sleeve after such an intense battle!

  “He is truly is unfathomable…”

  “Wu Huang is number one amongst the younger generation of the Cangmang Continent.”

  These were the only evaluations the crowd could give as they shook their heads.

  Mu Wuji also let out a bitter laugh when he saw this. Who could have predicted such an intense fight between two of the younger generation...

  However, in the face of Wu Huang’s endless arsenal of trump cards, even he could not help but sigh in admiration. This guy was truly a genius blessed by the heavens.

  “To have come this far, Zhou Yuan is already very outstanding.” Mu Wuji secretly said in his heart.

  Zhao Pan breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. His eyes flickered in thought as he stared at Wu Huang’s figure and secretly mumbled to himself, “Wu Huang is indeed a good seedling. No wonder even palace master said that he possesses the will of the heavens and must be brought into Sacred Palace.”

  “It should be over this time, right?”

  As Zhao Pan spoke, even he did not realise that he was no longer as certain as he had been in the beginning. He was now clearly afraid due to Zhou Yuan, scared that he would suddenly pull something out of the bag again, causing the situation to fall into uncertainty once again.

  ...

  Zhou Yuan frowned deeply as he gazed upon the Wu Huang, who was now substantially bigger and covered in dragon scales. The latter was currently giving off an extremely frightening aura.

  Wu Huang’s lifted his face and gave Zhou Yuan a savage smile.

  His foot slammed into the ground, cracking it as his figure rocketed forward.

  “How quick!”

  Zhou Yuan’s pupils shrank. The ancient Saint Rune appeared within it, allowing him to clearly see Wu Huang’s body. However, Zhou Yuan’s body was unable to respond in time.

  “Mighty Tortoise Armor Rune!”

  Yelled Zhou Yuan as a tortoise shell like glowing rune appeared in front of him.

  Craang!

  However, it was shattered by a single punch almost immediately after it appeared. Wild punch winds blasted into Zhou Yuan’s Magical Python Scale covered arms.

  Thump!

  Zhou Yuan’s body jerked back before being sent flying backwards. Most of the scales on his arms had shattered and broken, making them a bloody mess.

  Wu Huang did not give Zhou Yuan any chance to breathe, a storm of attacks immediately following.

  The ancient Saint Rune in Zhou Yuan’s pupils spun round and round. He could still see the vulnerabilities in Wu Huang’s attacks, but when his attacks landed on them, they were unable to break through.

  As such, he was naturally unable to achieve the same effect as before.

  “Crap, his Genesis Qi has grown stronger and my attacks are no longer able to affect him, not even at the weakest points of his attacks.” Zhou Yuan’s expression had turned rather ugly.

  He could see the vulnerabilities, but he did not have enough force to make use of them.

  Thud thud!

  Two figures continued to clash on the white jade plaza. This time however, the situation was reversed.

  Wu Huang laughed madly, his attacks like a torrential downpour, while Zhou Yuan continuously retreated.

  Wu Huang’s attacks would pierce his defences from time to time and land on his body, causing blood to appear from the corner of Zhou Yuan’s mouth.

  “Haha, Zhou Yuan, weren’t you very pleased with yourself earlier?!”

  “You are indeed a formidable foe to have forced out even my final trump card!”

  “However, it is time for you to pay the price for doing so.”

  “And that price will be your life!”

  Wu Huang’s eyes were scarlet-red, his face twisted with violence as his attacks grew increasingly vicious. Genesis Qi pulsed in the air as a flurry of fists descended, bombarding Zhou Yuan to no end.

  Boom!

  Genesis Qi exploded as Zhou Yuan’s feet slid across the ground. His body was blown over a hundred steps back, the blood at the corner of his mouth growing increasingly apparent. Every single inch of his body was radiating an intense pain.

  “How stubborn.” Wu Huang looked down from above, a certain eeriness emanating from the corners of his lips as he said, “I really want to find out if you will still be able to stand after I break every bone in your body.”

  His hands slowly came together as he suddenly inhaled deeply. Berserk Genesis Qi flooded in through his nose, his chest swelling as an alarming Genesis Qi ripple frantically converged.

  The ground below Wu Huang’s feet began to crumble, unable to support the brewing power.

  Wu Huang indifferently stared at Zhou Yuan. A split second later, the former’s chest shrank as he abruptly opened his mouth and roared, “Scarlet Dragon Breath!”

  Rumble!

  Scarlet-red Genesis Qi spouted out like a dragon’s breath, so searingly hot that the ground instantly melted.

  It was likely that anyone below the third layer Alpha-Origin would be instantly killed by it!

  Zhou Yuan’s expression involuntarily changed. The Saint Rune quickly flickered in his eyes, faint light dots appearing on the incoming scarlet-red dragon breath.

  They were vulnerabilities.

  ...

  However...

  Even if he could see them, Zhou Yuan did not have enough power to neutralize the attack.

  “My power is insufficient…” Zhou Yuan pursed his lips, his eyes falling deep into thought.

  “Zhou Yuan, you're dead!” Everyone inside and outside the Saint Remains Domain sighed in pity when they saw this scene. The tumultuous battle was finally about to end.

  Mu Wuji’s expression turned ugly, his hands tightly clenched as he muttered, “Just admit defeat you stupid kid, the most important thing now is to preserve your life!”

  However, Zhou Yuan could not hear these words, and even if he did, he would not make such a decision.

  Zhou Yuan’s body lowered slightly. In the next instant, the ground below his feet shattered as he swiftly shot forth, heading straight for the scarlet-red dragon breath.

  “Hss!”

  Zhou Yuan’s actions caused countless people to gasp a
s they muttered to themselves, “Zhou Yuan… has really gone insane…”

  Mu Wuji could not help but bellow, “Fool!”

  The current Wu Huang was not something Zhou Yuan could defeat!

  In fact, the dragon breath was even more terrible than Heaven Genesis technique earlier!

  The cold cruel smile that hung from the corners of Wu Huang’s lips grew even icier.

  “Come on, dying to the sacred dragon blessing that originally belonged to you is the best ending you could ever wish for.”

  Under the attention of countless watching gazes, Zhou Yuan appeared in front of the dragon breath in a few breaths. The scorching heat surged towards him, causing a piercing pain to pulse from his skin.

  Zhou Yuan lifted his head slightly, peering past the scarlet-red Genesis Qi to see Wu Huang’s cruel eyes and ice-cold face...

  “Wu Huang…”

  His hand made a slight grabbing motion and a silver ball suddenly appeared within. The moment it appeared, it melted into liquid that swiftly spread along Zhou Yuan’s arm.

  Silver light blossomed for an instant, and Zhou Yuan’s figure slammed into the dragon breath under the crowd’s stares...

  “It’s time for this battle to end…”

  At the moment of impact, it seemed as if Zhou Yuan’s faint voice stealthily rang out.

  Chapter 196 The First

  Froohm!

  The scarlet-red dragon breath unfurled, barging through the white jade plaza as it left behind a long black scar and melted white jade wherever it passed.

  The dragon breath had completely engulfed Zhou Yuan...

  Everyone both inside and outside of the Saint Remains Domain fell silent, before bursting out into numerous regretful sighs. Zhou Yuan was really too foolish. It was unbelievable for him to meet that attack head-on.

  “The young are always so foolhardy. If only he had chosen to yield this one time and wait for another chance in the future.”

  “Once you lose your life, there will be no more chances for you.”

  “To have pushed Wu Huang so far is actually already be a victory for him.”

  Everyone shook their heads.

  Mu Wuji tightly gripped his pipe, wishing that Zhou Yuan could have been more level-headed as he said through gritted teeth, “Stupid kid, what the hell were you thinking!”
