Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

  However, invisible and powerful undulations seemed to slowly gather between his brows.

  Zhou Yuan raised his head, looking at the bewildered Baili Che, as he slowly said, “Your technique may be able to restrain Genesis Qi, but did you think that Genesis Qi is all I have?”

  Boom!

  As his voice rang out, the surging Spirit power between his brows rushed forth like a flood. It was invisible and intangible, but mysterious undulations churned within it.

  The glowing ball which had originally shrunk to the size of a few feet began to swell at an alarming speed. In the end, it enlarged to a size of several hundred feet as a cracking noise sounded, no longer able to bear the heavy load.

  Bang!

  The silver ball was forcefully blown apart from the inside by the surging Spirit energy, transforming into a sky full of glittering silver.

  The scouts from the various peaks in the distance cried out in surprise.

  No one had expected Baili Che’s Heaven Frost Sealing technique would be broken by Zhou Yuan in his brutish manner!

  Baili Che’s expression darkened substantially. He had thoroughly prepared for every possible scenario he could imagine, but he had not anticipated that Zhou Yuan’s Spirit would become so powerful.

  Zhou Yuan seldom revealed his Spirit cultivation in the Cangxuan Sect, causing many to forget that he was a dual cultivator of Genesis Qi and Spirit.

  Zhou Yuan stood with one hand behind his back as Spirit power whizzed out from between his brows.

  Boom!

  A loud sound suddenly erupted from the sea below, as the water rushed into the air.

  It was as if some invisible force was circling around the water as it transformed into a ten thousand feet wide ball that slowly came to hover beside Zhou Yuan.

  Light gleamed off the water ball as a mysterious and invisible undulation pulsed. It was Spirit power.

  With a wave of his sleeve, the water ball infused with Spirit power shot forward with a piercing screech, viciously smashing towards Baili Che.

  Humph!

  Baili Che’s eyes darkened as light pulsed from the Nine Scales Sword in his hand. With a swing, sword light rushed out, growing to a hundred feet as it sliced through the water ball.

  Chla!

  Sword light swept past, cutting the ball into two.

  Bang!

  However, the two halves of the ball suddenly exploded, becoming countless drops of water that shot towards Baili Che like a torrential storm.

  Silver Genesis Qi rose from Baili Che’s body, protecting him from the onslaught.

  Plop! Plop!

  Although the silver Genesis Qi managed to block the majority of the water droplets, a few still managed to strike Baili Che’s body, causing his face to twist hideously at the moment of impact.

  These water droplets did not have much destructive power, but contained Spirit energy that directly penetrated his flesh and struck his Spirit.

  As such, a piercing pain from between his brow would accompany each strike, nearly causing Baili Che to faint.

  Fortunately, he was quick to react and swiftly retreated, while the Nine Scales Sword transformed into layer after layer of sword light that bounced back all of the water droplets, no longer daring to let any of them touch him...

  “Your Spirit has reached the advanced Corporeal stage?!”

  Baili Che steadied his body as he stared darkly at Zhou Yuan. From the intensity of the Spirit corrosion from earlier, he had already realized that Zhou Yuan’s Spirit had reached the advanced Corporeal stage.

  Zhou Yuan looked at Baili Che and said, “It seems that chief disciple Baili Che has miscalculated.”

  A fierce expression rose in Baili Che’s eyes as he icily said, “It’s too early to say such words! So what if you’re at the advanced Corporeal stage, you’re still biting off more than you can chew! I will just have to crush you with Genesis Qi!”

  He had always been disdainful of dual cultivators of both Genesis Qi and Spirit.

  Swoosh!

  Light surged along the blade of the Nine Scales Sword as the Genesis Qi in his body erupted without any reservation. In the next instant, his figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Zhou Yuan.

  Bzz bzz!

  Sword light whizzed out as countless sword shadows appeared in the sky, aimed at Zhou Yuan’s fatal spots.

  After the failure of the Heaven Frost Sealing technique, Baili Che had clearly changed his approach, intending to clash directly with Zhou Yuan.

  An icy light also surged in Zhou Yuan’s eyes as the white tip of the Heavenly Yuan Brush turned pitch-black. Golden Genesis Qi roared out, as he pushed his Genesis Qi to its limits.

  Jade light blossomed on his skin, while silver flashed in the bones deep within his flesh.

  Clang! Clang!

  Two figures exchanged blows at lightning speed in the sky, going over a thousand rounds in a few short minutes, alarming undulations sweeping outwards with every collision of sword and brush.

  The intensity of a fight like this was extreme.

  Numerous onlookers secretly wet their lips as they watched. Anyone could see that there was absolutely no sign of Zhou Yuan losing out in the direct clash against Baili Che.

  Many had originally believed that Zhou Yuan could not possibly be Baili Che’s match.

  However, from the scene before their eyes, it was obvious that Zhou Yuan had grown even stronger over the past two months.

  Baili Che’s expression grew darker and darker with each exchanged blow. He could clearly feel that he was not gaining the upper hand at all.

  The most troublesome thing, however, were the Spirit attacks Zhou Yuan sneaked in when they clashed. The slightest slip was all it would take for them to touch Baili Che’s body and attack his Spirit, creating a huge headache for the latter.

  Only now did he realize that the Saint Genesis Peak chief disciple he had looked down on all along, was actually not as weak as he had imagined.

  Clang!

  Berserk Genesis Qi devastated the surroundings after yet another clash, the space around them rippling a little as two figures shot backwards.

  Baili Che stabilized his body with a wave of his sleeve. He expressionlessly stared at Zhou Yuan and slowly said, “No wonder you were so arrogant, you do have some ability.”

  Zhou Yuan grasped the Heavenly Yuan Brush, as its brush hairs turned soft and gently fluttered in the wind.

  “Chief disciple Baili Che’s strength does not seem to match up to your previous arrogance.” A faint smile rose on Zhou Yuan’s lips.

  Baili Che’s face twitched a little, as he fell silent for a moment. A disdainful smile soon flowed out from the corners of his lips as he shook his head and said, “Why am I wasting breath on you…”

  “It’s about time to show you what a true chief disciple is.”

  “... I hope that your legs won’t turn to jelly from fear!”

  Baili Che took in a deep breath, iciness flashing in his eyes, as he stared in contempt at Zhou Yuan. At the same time, an extremely dangerous aura slowly spread from his body.

  “You shall tremble in fear before the most powerful technique of Sword Cometh Peak!”

  Chapter 529 Devil Sweeping Sword Orb

  Clang!

  Two glowing figures swifty flashed past in the sky. In the end, a sword swept forth and collided with a claw covered in dark golden scales. Sparks immediately splattered as a berserk shockwave unfurled, rippling the surrounding space.

  The sharp claws of the paw were unimaginably tough, blowing away the sword, and causing the sword wielding figure to shoot back in retreat, revealing itself to be Zhao Zhu.

  His expression was rather ugly at this current time.

  A mysterious giant dark golden creature stood in the air before him, the very personification of majesty. Dark gold gleamed along its entire body, as Tuntun’s golden eyes glanced disdainfully at Zhao Zhu, obviously feeling the latter was unworthy of its attention.


  Zhao Zhu was naturally able to feel the contempt in Tuntun’s eyes, causing rage to boil inside of him. To think that he was being despised by a mere beast!

  However, though he was angered inside, Zhao Zhu could not help but feel rather troubled. After the previous exchange, he had finally understood how formidable Tuntun was.

  The latter’s dark golden scales were extremely tough, protecting it like a layer of armor. Even his sword Qi was incapable of cutting through such a sturdy defense.

  What was most problematic, however, was Tuntun’s devouring power that could directly devour Zhao Zhu’s sword aura. As such, he had been unable to make any leeway even when giving his all.

  Huu.

  Zhao Zhu exhaled deeply as he slowly composed himself. He knew that he could not be anxious at this moment, but instead rely on his Genesis techniques to slowly duke it out with Tuntun.

  Bzz!

  While Zhao Zhu was collecting himself and preparing to slow down the pace of his attacks, he suddenly felt a burst of astonishing sword Qi that felt as if it could pierce even the land and sky.

  Zhao Zhu was a little alarmed as he turned his head, his gaze locking onto a certain battlefield in the distance.

  It was the fight between Zhou Yuan and Baili Che.

  “Junior brother Baili actually intends to use that move…” There was surprise in Zhao Zhu’s eyes. He never imagined that Baili Che would have to use his full power against a mere Zhou Yuan.

  Fortunately, the earlier Baili Che used this trump card to defeat Zhou Yuan, the quicker the situation would fall into their control.

  Zhao Zhu only needed to hinder Tuntun, while Baili Che finished off Zhou Yuan, and proceeded to destroy the boundary from the outside, saving the Sword Cometh Peak disciples trapped within.

  Zhao Zhu’s gaze swept across the figure in front of Baili Che as iciness flashed in his eyes.

  When Baili Che brought out that move, the battle there should soon be decided.

  …

  Ying!

  Zhou Yuan felt a strong feeling of danger as the surging sword Qi burst out of Baili Che’s body. The former’s figure quickly retreated, leaving the range of the sword Qi as he grave stared at the latter from afar.

  Alarmingly powerful sword Qi was currently pulsing from Baili Che’s body, tearing open numerous cracks in the surrounding space.

  It was obvious that Baili Che was preparing a deadly killing blow.

  Veins bulged on Baili Che’s face, creating quite a sinister sight. Sword Qi rose from his head like a viscous fluid, before condensing into a silver thumb-sized sword orb...

  The silver sword orb was somewhat illusory and distorted, as if it would fall apart at any time.

  Despite this, a loud and resonant sword cry echoed across the area when the sword orb was formed. Torrential sword Qi filled the sky, creating an alarmingly intimidating sight.

  Far away, the scouts from the various peaks watched this scene in astonishment. Some of them were familiar with this technique, causing their voices to tremble.

  “This is… Sword Cometh Peak’s Cangxuan Art…”

  “The Devil Sweeping Sword Orb?!”

  “My god, how did Baili Che learn it so quickly?!”

  …

  Outside the Genesis reservoir, sect master Qing Yang, the five peak masters and the numerous elders also saw this, causing their eyes to widen a little.

  “Humph, this Devil Sweeping Sword Orb is very unstable. It was obviously forcibly created instead of being properly nourished by the wielder. In fact, it seems as if someone has forcibly been given guidance on it.” While focusing on the silver sword orb, peak master Lianyi suddenly let out an icy chuckle, before shooting a glance at peak master Ling Jun.

  Peak master Ling Jun was expressionless as he said, “Baili Che is quite talented. Although it has only been a few months since he was given the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb technique, he managed to gain some comprehension of its wonders. It’s not strange for him to have just barely managed to create one. Peak master Lianyi should not make false accusations.”

  Peak master Lianyi disdainfully retorted, “You know best whether or not my words are true.”

  It was no surprise that the two of them were at each other’s throats again, to which sect master Qing Yang and the rest could only shake their heads in helplessness.

  At another location, elder Shen Taiyuan and elder Lu Song had bitter looks on their faces. They had been pleasantly surprised for a while when Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao managed to trap all the Sword Cometh Peak disciples, because it had evened the playing field for their side.

  But who would have expected that Baili Che had managed to learn one of the seven Cangxuan Arts, the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb!

  Although it was only at the initial stage and was extremely unstable, it was still a high grade Heaven Genesis technique, and its power could only be described as terrifying.

  Even those with the power of the ninth layer Alpha-Origin would not dare to face such a skill head on.

  Lu Song looked at Shen Taiyuan and sighed. “It’s already pretty good of them to have achieved this.”

  Shen Taiyuan was silent for a moment, before he said, “I do not blame them, but myself for not being useful enough. If not for me, those two kids would not have to shoulder such heavy pressure.”

  Although he was currently the substitute peak master of Saint Genesis Peak, he could not become a true peak master, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the other peak masters due to his lack of strength.

  In the Cangxuan Sect, only those that have stepped into the Nascent Source stage were qualified to become peak masters. In fact, peak master Ling Jun and the rest were top tier experts amongst the Nascent Source stage, and had even begun to create their own law domains. Although their law domains were incomplete, it still made them incomparable to ordinary Nascent Source stage practitioners.

  On the other hand, Shen Taiyuan was merely at the Heavenly Sun stage, and still some distance aways from the Nascent Source stage. How could he possibly compare to the likes of peak master Ling Jun and the rest?

  If Shen Taiyuan was also at the Nascent Source stage, peak master Ling Jun would not dare to take things too far.

  Lu Song also fell silent, and could only let out a soft sigh in the end. In this world, one needed sufficient strength to have the right to speak even within the sect.

  “We can only hope that Zhou Yuan will be able to endure a little longer. At the very least, we’ll make Sword Cometh Peak suffer a little more losses even if we lose!”

  …

  Bzz bzz!

  Under the countless astonished gazes, the silver sword orb slowly descended from Baili Che’s head and floated in front of him.

  The sword orb gently vibrated, giving off terrifying sword Qi that tore apart the fabric of space.

  Baili Che’s complexion was rather pale, but there was an extremely excited look in his eyes. His gaze turned towards Zhou Yuan as a sinister smile rose from the corners of his lips.

  “Chief disciple Zhou Yuan, this is the first time I’ve managed to activate this technique. It is your honor to be defeated by it.”

  Baili Che clearly no longer planned on wasting time, and had thus brought out his strongest trump card.

  A grave look filled Zhou Yuan’s eyes, evidently realizing the origins of Baili Che’s trump card.

  Power on this scale… what else could it be but one of the seven Cangxuan Arts?!

  He was quite amazed that Baili Che had managed to learn this technique in such a short span of time.

  Baili Che took Zhou Yuan’s silence as terror, causing him to laugh gleefully. His expression soon turned ferocious as he extended a finger and lightly pointed at the sword orb.

  Baili Che’s ice-cold voice accompanied his gesture.

  “Are you scared now? Unfortunately for you, it’s already too late!”

  “Devil Sweeping Sword Orb… go!”

  An earth-shaking sword cry echoed at this very moment, as deva
stating sword Qi filled the area.

  Chapter 530 You have your Sword Orb, I have my Saint Spirit!

  Wooong!

  Destructive sword Qi filled the area as the silver sword orb whizzed forth, ultimately gathering around it. In a brief span of a few breaths, the sword Qi surrounding the sword orb had grown to a diameter of several thousand feet.

  Sword light swept across the horizon like a divine sword falling from the heavens, ripping even the fabric of space itself when it passed by.

  Giant cracks began to appear in the sea below. Any unfortunate aquatic beasts that fell into them were instantly torn to pieces by the sword Qi.

  Such power caused the scalps of countless disciples to turn numb.

  A several thousand feet wide flood of sword Qi rushed straight towards Zhou Yuan.

  The expressions of the fighting Sword Cometh Peak and Saint Genesis Peak disciples immediately changed when they saw this, the former filling with delight, while the latter turning deathly pale.

  “It’s the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb technique!” Horrified looks filled the eyes of Zhou Tai, Lu Yan and Zhang Yan.

  They never imagined that Baili Che had actually managed to learn Sword Cometh Peak’s Cangxuan Art.

  One must know that it had only been a few months since he became chief disciple, so how had he managed to learn it so quickly? How talented did one have to be to achieve such a crazy feat?

  As one of the seven Cangxuan Arts, the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb was a true-blue high grade Heaven Genesis technique. A technique of that level was something that even purple sash disciples could only dream about.

  Everyone clearly understood the terrifying might a technique of that level would possess.

  Baili Che may have yet to reach the ninth layer Alpha-Origin at this point in time, but with the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb, even a slightly weaker ninth layer would be slain by him in a single strike.

  If a slightly weaker ninth layer would meet such an end, what more could be said about Zhou Yuan?

  In that instant, all the hearts of the Saint Genesis Peak disciples rose in their chests. If Zhou Yuan was eliminated by Baili Che in a single blow, their plan would fail immediately.
