Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

  Roar!

  That several hundred foot large Genesis Qi beast roared, before it ferociously charged towards the binded Xu Yan.

  It was a menacing and intimidation sight to behold.

  Xu Yan lifted his head and looked at the roaring titan. Its ferocious aura made his eyes narrow slightly, but a derisive smile soon appeared on his lips.

  “Advanced Nine Dragons Canon… junior brother Zhou Yuan, if this attack was used against a gold sash disciple, I believe that hardly anyone would be able to block it. Unfortunately, it seems that you’re still underestimating us veteran purple sash disciples.”

  Xu Yan’s cheeks abruptly ballooned as green Genesis Qi rapidly gathered in his mouth. A split second later, it transformed into a beam of green light which he spat out from his mouth.

  “High tier little Heaven Genesis technique, Green Moon Cone!”

  The cone of green light was too fast for the naked eye to see. Countless disciples only managed to catch a flash of green, before it smashed into the Genesis Qi beast.

  Boom!

  Berserk shockwaves swept outwards, as the two alarmingly powerful attacks destroyed each other.

  Xu Yan jerked his body, finally breaking free from the the snow-white hair chains. Meanwhile, the hairs retreated, along with a mottled black brush, before it was caught by a hand.

  Zhou Yuan appeared, the Heavenly Yuan Brush in his hand pointed towards the ground.

  “A veteran purple sash disciple is indeed a difficult opponent…” Zhou Yuan’s eyes widened a little. Looks like he had gotten a little arrogant due to his recent string of victories. The Cangxuan Sect was after all one of the titans of Cangxuan Heaven, and each of their veteran purple sash disciples was selected from amongst ten thousand individuals. Outside the Shengzhou Continent, any of them would be highly sought geniuses.

  Moreover, Zhou Yuan was still only at the third layer Alpha-Origin stage, and the advantage a seventh layer Alpha-Origin stage expert had over him was simply too huge. If not for his peak grade 6 Omni Python Qi, and his special blood-red Qi Dwelling which gave him Genesis Qi that far exceeded the third layer, the Genesis Qi in his body would have likely been destroyed by Xu Yan after a few clashes.

  “No wonder the criteria set by the sect is to see who can endure the longest, and not whether we could defeat them…”

  The expression in Zhou Yuan’s eyes gradually turned serious. In that case, let’s see who will last longer.

  He believed that once he became a purple sash disciple and advanced to the fourth layer Alpha-Origin stage, he would have no longer have to fear any of these veteran purple sash disciples again.

  Swoosh!

  Zhou Yuan wielded the Heavenly Yuan Brush, as his ethereal body dashed forward like a wisp of smoke.

  He was still going to defend by attacking.

  Xu Yan let out an icy chuckle when he saw this. His body also shot forth, an aura pulsing around his sword as it transformed into numerous sword shadows that went after the vital points on Zhou Yuan’s body.

  Clang! Clang!

  Two blurry figures clashed like lightning in the arena, after-images appearing one after another. A clear clang could be heard at every clash, accompanied by an astonishing shockwave of Genesis Qi.

  However, everyone could see that Zhou Yuan’s figure would be pushed back after each clash. He was clearly being suppressed in this direct confrontation.

  This caused the numerous watching disciples to shake their heads inside. Zhou Yuan was after all merely at the third layer Alpha-Origin stage. Even if he had many tricks up his sleeve, it was still a stretch for him to fight against someone like Xu Yan, who was four layers above him.

  Under the many pitying gazes, Zhou Yuan expression remained rather calm while locked in an intense battle with Xu Yan. As the former continued to fight, a faint dragon roar seemed to echo with each breath he took.

  Genesis Qi was being continuously absorbed into his body, before being swiftly refined to replenish his stamina.

  Dragon Breathing.

  Although Zhou Yuan did not have as much Genesis Qi as the seventh layer Xu Yan, the former was able to make use of Dragon Breathing to continually replenish his depleted Genesis Qi, and drag out the fight.

  It would be hard for his current self to defeat Xu Yan, but if Zhou Yuan only wanted to drag out the fight, it would not be so easy for Xu Yan to kick him out either...

  Wounds would appear on his body from time to time due to the opponent’s sword aura, but the majority of the damage was neutralized by the Heavenly Serpent Scales and the Ethereal Form technique, and hence did not affect his combat abilities.

  As such, time slowly passed while the fight between the two grew increasingly intense.

  By this point, many disciples began to realize that something was amiss. Even though Zhou Yuan was being overwhelmed by Xu Yan and seemed to be in quite a desperate state, he was still able to doggedly hang on despite Xu Yan’s ferocious barrage of attacks.

  “Eh?” Even Li Qingchan gasped softly, clearly realising that there was something strange about this situation as well.

  Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi may not be as abundant as Xu Yan’s, but it seemed to last for an impossibly long amount of time.

  It was also clear that Zhou Yuan no longer entertained any thoughts of defeating Xu Yan, but instead made the logical decision to stall for time.

  Clang!

  The Heavenly Yuan Brush clashed with the sword again, pushing Zhou Yuan’s body back once more. However, Xu Yan’s expression was gradually turning stormy as he gazed upon Zhou Yuan’s figure.

  He had cast a glance behind him, only to find that a fifth of the giant incense stick behind had already been burnt.

  His original plan was to kick Zhou Yuan out within this period of time. However, judging by the current situation, though Zhou Yuan appeared to be suppressed, the latter was still full of vigor, and his Genesis Qi showed no signs of depletion.

  “This guy… is basically a tortoise. He is not only extremely tough, but also very hardy as well!”

  Xu Yan took in a deep breath, as a cold expression flowed in his eyes.

  This cannot continue. Since you are good at wasting time, I will take the most direct approach and destroy all your defenses with a single attack!

  Xu Yan shot an icy glance at Zhou Yuan, before releasing the sword in his hand, allowing it to slowly rise into the air.

  The Genesis Qi in the vicinity gradually began to stir at this moment.

  Swoosh!

  The sword shot into the sky as all the Genesis Qi in the area gathered towards it. Resplendent green light gradually appeared, transforming into a green crescent moon in the sky.

  Moonlight spread from the crescent moon like an endless torrent of sword aura, a sight that would make one’s scalp turn numb.

  Dreadful undulations ripples from the green crescent moon.

  Outside the mountain range, numerous disciples stared at this scene in shock, before erupting into an uproar a split second later.

  “Isn’t this a little too ruthless of Xu Yan. To think that he would even use a Heaven Genesis technique on a mere gold sash disciple!”

  “That should be the Moonfall technique of Sword Cometh Peak! It’s a genuine low grade Heaven Technique!”

  “This is going to reflect very badly on him…”

  Many disciples whispered among themselves, clearly quite critical of Xu Yan’s actions. He already had the absolute advantage in terms of Genesis Qi cultivation, and yet he was still going to use a Heaven Genesis technique?

  Does he think he’s fighting against another vetern purple sash disciple?

  This bullying was definitely a little overboard.

  However, Xu Yan would not be affected at this moment no matter how they expressed their displeasure. He stood in the middle of the arena, as his icy gaze locked onto Zhou Yuan.

  How could he not know that using a Heaven Genesis technique against Zhou Yuan would reflect badly on him. However, Zhou
Yuan was simply too hardy. In fact, based on his current estimation, he knew that he was not going to deplete Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi before the incense stick was completely burnt.

  Therefore, he was forced to take drastic measures, and use overwhelming power to destroy Zhou Yuan.

  He looked at Zhou Yuan with icy arrogance, before he slowly clapped his palms together.

  “I heard that Wei Youxuan used an incomplete low grade Heaven Genesis technique on you previously. Since that is the case, allow this senior to open your eyes and show you today…”

  “What a complete Heaven tier technique is like!”

  “Moonfall technique!”

  Buzz!

  The instant his voice sounded, the green crescent moon hanging in the sky abruptly fell.

  A flash of green light seemed to split the sky into two.

  Chapter 380 Genesis Qi Clash

  Buzz!

  A green crescent moon fell from the sky like a streak of green light, seemingly tearing apart even space itself wherever it passed.

  The falling crescent moon was the embodiment of horrifying power.

  Zhou Yuan lifted his head, an extremely grave expression on his face as he gazed at the falling crescent moon. He could just barely make out the shadow of sword within the crescent moon.

  The crescent moon surrounding the sword was actually made from sword aura.

  In the face of an attack like this, Zhou Yuan knew that he would be instantly cleaved into two no matter how many layers of defense he had.

  Even the majority of seventh layer Alpha-Origin experts would try to flee as far as they could from this crescent moon.

  Numerous sighs of pity could be heard outside the mountain range. The moment Xu Yan decided to throw away his dignity and use this attack, was the moment that the battle would finally be decided.

  They truly could not imagine how Zhou Yuan would be able to withstand such a terrifying attack.

  Amidst the sighs of pity, many disciples watched as Zhou Yuan suddenly grasped his hands in front of him. Scorching undulations seemed to spread from his body, so hot that even the ground below his feet began to melt.

  A scarlet-red aura rose from Zhou Yuan’s body.

  His feet slowly spread apart as his cheeks abruptly ballooned. Everyone watched as his face suddenly turned red as a burning cold.

  In fact, even his eyes had taken on a scarlet-red hue.

  Zhou Yuan’s hands swiftly formed a seal as the Genesis Qi in his body violently bubbled like boiling water.

  The strange movements from Zhou Yuan was met by uncertainty in the eyes of countless disciples. However, some of the keener disciples soon realized something, and immediately blurted out, “Zhou Yuan is using a Heaven Genesis technique!”

  “From the appearance of that technique… if my guess is not wrong, it should be the Heavenly Sun God Record!”

  “I’ve heard that Zhou Yuan was given a low grade Heaven Genesis technique by the sect when he became champion of the peak selection ceremony. That must be the Heavenly Sun God Record!”

  Cries of surprise spread, shocking countless disciples. Didn’t this mean that Zhou Yuan had managed to learn the Heavenly Sun God Record?!

  He really is a monster!

  Fuu!

  Amidst the gasps and cries of surprise, Zhou Yuan’s had already expanded as much as the could. In the next instant, his mouth suddenly opened as shout rang out from within.

  “Heavenly Sun God Record, Heavenly Sun Fire!”

  *Cackle*!

  Along with his voice, a several hundred feet wide ball of white fire was spat out. It felt as if the air around was instantly combusted, while the rocky arena below their feet began to melt.

  This bundle of fire was enough to melt an entire mountain.

  Its power was domineering to the extreme!

  *Cackle*!

  The white fire dashed into the sky. Under countless astonished gazes, it ultimately slammed into the swiftly descending green crescent moon.

  Boom!

  A berserk Genesis Qi shockwave devastated the area.

  Under the madly burning white fire, the green crescent moon rapidly began to shrink at speed which could be seen by the naked eye. However, the pulsing green light sword Qi was also extinguishing the fire.

  The two forces frantically eroded each other.

  In a short span of a few dozen breaths, the giant blaze of white fire had been fully extinguished, while the green crescent moon had shrunk to the size of a mere foot...

  Swish!

  The green crescent moon swung downwards, its sharp edge heading straight for Zhou Yuan.

  Heavenly Serpent Scales appeared on Zhou Yuan’s arms. His grip tightened around the Heavenly Yuan Brush, as he yelled. Omni Python Qi surged out, and wrapped around the brush like a giant python, before being powerfully swung at the incoming crescent moon.

  “Million Whale Rune!”

  Clang!

  The Heavenly Yuan Brush and crescent moon smashed into each other as a clear clang echoed. A hundred feet wide shockwave quickly followed, plowing through the entire surface of the mountain peak.

  Rumble!

  The ground was rapidly torn apart.

  Zhou Yuan’s figure received the brunt of the aftershock, leaving deep marks on the ground as his feet slid backwards. The Heavenly Yuan Brush also grated across the ground, creating a line of sparks.

  As the dust settled, one could see that the entire arena was a mess.

  Countless nervous gazes shot over.

  Only to find that Zhou Yuan’s figure had appeared on the edge of a cliff, mere inches away from falling off.

  The Heavenly Yuan Brush had been deeply impaled into the ground in front of him, while his arms were drenched in blood. Even the Heavenly Serpent Scales had been completely shattered due to the overwhelming force from the green crescent moon from earlier.

  Although he was now a pretty miserable sight to behold, anyone could see that he had successfully withstood Xu Yan’s terrifying attack.

  No one had expected Zhou Yuan to meet it with an attack of his own. He had first used a Heaven Genesis technique to exhaust nearly eighty percent of the crescent moon’s power, before striking a decisive blow that ultimately managed to destroy the attack.

  Such rich battle experience made one gasp in amazement.

  Zhou Yuan swung his hands, sending out a spray of blood. His expression remained unchanged as he muttered to himself, “What a pity. If I was at the fourth layer Alpha-Origin stage, my Heavenly Sun Fire would have been enough to destroy that green crescent moon.”

  The strength of his Genesis Qi was just unable to match up to his opponent’s, resulting in him being unable to bring out the full power of the Heavenly Sun Fire. In the end, he was forced to take action, paying a substantial price in order to destroy the remaining power within the green crescent moon.

  The numerous disciples outside the mountain range could not help but cheer when they saw this. Zhou Yuan’s response had been beautiful.

  Even at a clear disadvantage, he remained calm in the face of danger, paying the smallest price to neutralize it. Such ability astonished even some of the veteran purple sash disciples.

  On the mountain peak, the corners of Xu Yan’s mouth twitched for a moment as he gazed upon the pitiful figure of his opponent. Zhou Yuan’s tenacity was beginning to shake Xu Yan’s heart a little.

  The attacks he unleashed earlier would have defeated even a seventh layer disciples long ago, but Zhou Yuan just somehow managed to doggedly hang on.

  With such willpower and determination, it was no wonder that he had become famous in the talent filled Cangxuan Sect.

  “This guy!” Xu Yan gritted his teeth, the look in his eyes showing that he was a little unable to accept the reality before him.

  Swish!

  However, while rage was boiling in his heart, Zhou Yuan’s figure suddenly disappeared.

  “Humph!” Xu Yan icily snorted as he sent a palm strike behind him.
Although using the Heaven Genesis technique earlier had used up a substantial amount of Genesis Qi, dealing with Zhou Yuan was still not going to be a problem.

  Thud!

  Palm winds swatted forth as a hand reached out from nowhere like an eagle claw to meet it, before grabbing Xu Yan’s hand.

  Xu Yan let out an icy chuckle as he sent out a fierce thrust with his other hand, Genesis Qi surging as sword Qi pulsed from it.

  Thud!

  Zhou Yuan’s other hand also moved forward, his fingers closing around Xu Yan’s hand and locking it in place.

  As a result, the two individuals ended up tightly grabbing each other’s hands, ominous glints flashing in their eyes as they glared at each other.

  This clearly looked to be a contest of Genesis Qi with their bodies as a battlefield!

  Such a situation slightly stunned Xu Yan for an instant, before a sinister smile quickly appeared on his lips. “You really are seeking death. Do you believe that you’ll be able to compete with me in Genesis Qi because I’ve used a Heaven Genesis technique?”

  “I’ll let you have a taste of how much stronger the seventh layer Alpha-Origin is than you!”

  With a thought, the Genesis Qi stars in his Qi Dwelling abruptly brightened as surging Genesis Qi whizzed out, flowing through his body and into his arms as it maniacally began to invade Zhou Yuan’s body.

  Xu Yan’s Genesis Qi was as sharp as a sword, and was a true-blue grade 6 Genesis Qi. Sword Qi began to spread the moment it entered Zhou Yuan’s body, causing him to feel a stabbing pain.

  However, Zhou Yuan’s eyes merely hardened in response, seemingly unmoved by the pain, while his roaring Omni Python Qi charged into Xu Yan’s body.

  The Genesis Qi of both individuals collided as they attempted to destroy the other.

  Numerous disciples gasped when they saw this scene. No one had expected the two to choose such a desperate mode of battle.

  “Xu Yan clearly has the advantage in a purely Genesis Qi clash…”

  “Yeah, I don’t understand why Zhou Yuan forced Xu Yan into it…”

  “I’m guessing it’s because he was being overwhelmed by Xu Yan earlier, and can no longer bear to continue…”
