Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

by Translator: Yeow

  Compared to the panicking Saint Genesis Peak disciples, the morale of the Sword Cometh Peak disciples was greatly boosted. The latter’s attacks became fiercer all of a sudden, managing to repeatedly push back the numerous Saint Genesis Peak disciples despite the number disadvantage.

  The tides seemed to be falling in Sword Cometh Peak’s favor all of a sudden.

  Amidst countless terrified gazes, Zhou Yuan gravely stared at the rapidly approaching flood of silver sword aura. At the very center, the silver thumb-sized sword orb seemed to continuously breath peerless sword Qi.

  In the face of such concentrated and powerful sword Qi, even his elementary external cultivation body could feel a stabbing pain.

  This feeling made Zhou Yuan understand that even with the jade skin and silver bone of his little Mythic Saint Body, he would still be cut open if the attack were to land on his body.

  A high grade Heaven Genesis technique was indeed worthy of its title.

  Zhou Yuan licked his lips. However, there was surprisingly no trace of fear in his eyes, but instead a bubbling excitement.

  With his outstanding Spirit senses, he had also discovered that though Baili Che had indeed managed to create a sword orb, it was obviously extremely unstable.

  As if it had not been created through one’s own hard work.

  Zhou Yuan breathed in deeply as his eyes slowly closed.

  All the whistling sword Qi in the area was completely blocked out by him as the world around him fell silent.

  In his Qi Dwelling.

  The Saint Spirit seed released a faint buzzing noise, before suddenly shooting forth with a swoosh.

  Bzz!

  Meanwhile, the several feet wide torrent of sword Qi arrived. It appeared in the sky above Zhou Yuan, before powerfully chopping downwards with power that could level mountains.

  “Get eliminated!” Baili Che’s roar boomed like thunder. Elation rose from the corners of his lips as he stared at Zhou Yuan’s figure with a chillingly sinister look in his eyes.

  He was going to utterly destroy all of Zhou Yuan’s earlier arrogance with this blow.

  Let’s see if this fellow still dared to be out of line in the future!

  Don’t bother acting tough again without sufficient strength!

  Boom!

  The giant flood of swords ruthlessly hacked towards Zhou Yuan.

  Countless gazes were firmly glued to this location.

  If not for the protection brand on every disciple, anyone would believe that Zhou Yuan would be a dead man in a split second.

  As the deadly sword Qi loomed over Zhou Yuan, his tightly shut eyes abruptly opened as a dazzling gleam surged within them.

  His clothes flapped loudly around him as he raised his head, and looked at the torrent of sword Qi, before an icy smile rose from the corners of his lips.

  Boom!

  The several thousand feet wide torrent finally swung down upon its target.

  An indescribable storm of destruction unfurled, causing the surrounding area to distort, while making it impossible for anyone to get a clear view.

  The sea below churned violently as countless waves rose one after another, creating a frightening sight.

  The power of the blow made the scalps of countless watching disciples turn numb. Was this the strength of Sword Cometh Peak’s chief disciple? Such strength would indeed stir fear in anyone’s heart.

  “Zhou Yuan has likely been blown straight out of the Genesis reservoir.” A disciple sighed deeply.

  “Even the full power defense of some ninth layers will be unable to withstand a direct hit, let alone him.”

  “Zhou Yuan is already pretty amazing to have forced out this move from Baili Che, but it’s a pity he made that fatal misstep…”

  “......”

  Numerous disciples sighed in pity.

  Baili Che coldly snorted, his expression somewhat stormy, because he never expected that he would be forced to use the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb to defeat a mere Zhou Yuan.

  “But you should also be honored.”

  With an icy chuckle, he raised his head as the distorting space gradually returned to normal.

  But the smile on his face slowly turned rigid a split second later.

  *Gasp*!

  At the same time, shocked noises rang out across the area like a flood, while countless gazes blankly stared at the recovering space, where the enormous torrent of sword Qi had frozen midway through its chopping motion.

  What shocked everyone, however, was that Zhou Yuan was still standing below it, instead of being kicked out from the reservoir like everyone had expected.

  A mysterious hundred foot tall glowing silhouette had appeared above him. The glowing figure enveloped his entire body, with its arms crossed above it in a defensive posture.

  The tip of the sword Qi flood was currently stuck at the arms of the mysterious glowing silhouette, unable to advance even a single inch!

  The Devil Sweeping Sword Orb technique had been blocked!

  Countless disciples were stupefied by this scene.

  The originally high morale and fiercely fighting Sword Cometh Peak disciples also stopped attacking with stunned expressions.

  Zhou Tai, Lu Yan, Zhang Yan and the rest were likewise dazedly staring at the completely uninjured figure standing in the air.

  Let alone them, even sect master Qing Yang and the other peak masters, outside the Genesis reservoir, cried out in surprise as amazement colored their faces. They looked at each other, and could not help but mutter, “That glowing silhouette…”

  “Is the Omega Saint Spirit Art!”

  Sect master Qing Yang could not stop his expression from changing.

  “This little one has learnt the Omega Saint Spirit Art?!”

  In another location far away, elder Shen Taiyuan and elder Lu Song’s mouths slowly grew bigger and bigger, while disbelief and shock filled their eyes.

  Chapter 531 Shattering the Sword Orb

  In the sky above the seemingly endless sea, countless gazes dazedly stared at the giant torrent of sword light that had frozen in the air. Under the terrifying sword light, a hundred foot tall mysterious glowing silhouette hovered. It’s appearance was very blurry, while a mysterious power pulsed from it.

  Zhou Yuan stood inside the glowing figure with a calm expression, completely unharmed.

  The entire world seemed to freeze for an instant.

  Next, torrential cries of surprise rose one after another like waves.

  “What is the heck is that?!”

  “What is that Genesis technique, to think that it managed to block the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb technique!”

  “How is this possible?!”

  “......”

  The disciples from the various peaks had clearly lost their composure, because this scene was just far too astonishing.

  They could not comprehend how Zhou Yuan had managed to withstand a terrifying killing blow from Baili Che that could slay even an ordinary ninth layer practitioner...

  That had been the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb technique!

  One of the seven Cangxuan Arts, and also the highest grade Genesis Qi technique of Sword Cometh Peak!

  When this technique was used, everything should have been swept away without resistance such that it would be worthy of its reputation. However, it had been blocked by a mysterious glowing silhoutte.

  The Sword Cometh Peak and Saint Genesis Peak disciples stared with their mouths wide open, as the expressions of both parties changed once more. The former’s joy turned to alarm and horror, while the latter turned from terror to blankness.

  They too could not understand why Zhou Yuan could come out completely unscathed after receiving the attack head-on.

  Only Zhou Tai, Lu Yan and Zhang Yan seemed to recall something as they suddenly looked at each other. Disbelief overflowed in their eyes, before they finally managed to blurt out after some difficulty, “That glowing figure… could it be…”

  “The Omega Saint S
pirit Art?!”

  In the sky, deep guttural noises jumped out from the cracks between Baili Che’s teeth, his face twisted hideously, while his nearly entirely red eyes stared at the mysterious glowing silhouette around Zhou Yuan.

  As the chief disciple of Sword Cometh Peak, his insight was naturally far better than any ordinary disciple. Hence, he had immediately recognized the glowing figure the moment it appeared.

  There was absolutely no doubt that only the same high grade Heaven tier Omega Saint Spirit Art could block his Devil Sweeping Sword Orb.

  “That blasted Zhou Yuan! How did he learn the Omega Saint Spirit Art in such a short span of time!” Baili Che gnashed his teeth, eyes filled with shock and anger.

  “He must have had some kind of external help!”

  Baili Che’s expression was very stormy. In truth, he had not naturally learnt the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb, but borrowed external help in order to forcibly create it.

  Due to it not being the fruits of purely his own efforts, it was less concentrated and unstable.

  In Baili Che’s view, if even he could not properly learn the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb technique in two months, it would definitely be impossible for Zhou Yuan to learn the Omega Saint Spirit Art.

  As such, Zhou Yuan must have made use of some kind of external help.

  “I’ve underestimated you!”

  Baili Che let out an icy laugh as he stared at Zhou Yuan. He had gradually calmed down after the initial anger. Although Zhou Yuan had managed to learn the Omega Saint Spirit Art, it was most likely only barely able to block his Devil Sweeping Sword Orb.

  What Baili Che needed to do now was to stabilize the situation, and start searching for an opportunity.

  At this current juncture, Baili Che no longer dared to underestimate Zhou Yuan, and had begun to view the latter as an opponent on the same level as himself.

  High up in the sky, Zhou Yuan cast a glance at Baili Che from far away, as a meaningful smile rose from the corners of his lips as if reading the latter’s thoughts.

  He raised his head and focused on the tremendous sword light. At the deepest area of the light, he could just barely make out the vibrating silver sword orb, that continued to take in and give out frightening sword Qi.

  “Devil Sweeping Sword Orb huh… what a formidable offensive Genesis technique.”

  “However, it’s a pity that you’ve disgraced it.” Zhou Yuan's indifferent voice sounded, transmitting into Baili Che’s ears.

  Baili Che immediately laughed in anger upon hearing this as he icily said, “What bold words!”

  Zhou Yuan merely chuckled softly in response, paying no attention to Baili Che. With a thought, dazzling light began to emerge from the Saint Spirit around him.

  A mysterious and boundless power spread from the Saint Spirit’s body.

  Although it was still exceptionally indistinct, it was growing increasingly mysterious and immeasurable.

  The Saint Spirit lifted its hand, as light suddenly surged along it. The glowing hand began to extend as it shot towards the sword light like lightning.

  Pchla!

  Glowing hand and sword light collided as a mysterious power pulsed. The sword light swiftly began to dissolve, the original width of several thousand feet forcibly ripped apart by the Saint Spirit’s hand.

  Baili Che’s expression changed drastically, obviously not expecting the Saint Spirit figure to be so tyrannical. With a thought, the Sweeping Devil Sword Orb began to tremble, as endless sword Qi spewed out, and rushed towards the glowing hand in an attempt to destroy it.

  Bzz bzz!

  However, the rushing sword Qi was unable to achieve much. Circles of light continuously appeared around the glowing hand, blocking the torrential sword Qi, while continuing to make a beeline towards the silver sword orb at the center.

  “You dare!”

  Baili Che shouted in anger upon finally realizing Zhou Yuan’s goal. However, the glowing palm continued to dissolve the sword Qi with ease, causing the former to grow a little panicked. After briefly thinking about it, he could only grit his teeth, and urge the sword orb backwards to return into his body.

  Bzz!

  However, the instant the sword orb began to retreat, the Saint Spirit around Zhou Yuan suddenly disappeared from the spot.

  Swoosh!

  It appeared again in the retreat path of the silver sword orb, as its other hand reached out. The hand rapidly grew as it swung downwards like a mountain and grabbed the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb.

  “Release it!” Roared Baili Che in alarm as he hurriedly sent a thought to the orb, causing an eruption of torrential sword Qi in an attempt to rip apart the Saint Spirit.

  However, boundless power surged out from the Saint Spirit’s body, and rushed towards the hand, annihilating the torrential sword Qi.

  In the distance, Zhou Yuan’s figure moved and appeared on the Saint Spirit’s shoulder, and calmly looked towards the ashen-faced Baili Che.

  “Release the sword orb!” Shouted Baili Che in anger.

  A mocking smile rose from the corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth as he stomped his foot. Golden Genesis Qi soared out from the top of his head, and flowed into the Saint Spirit’s blurry body.

  At the same time, his voice rang out, “The powerful Sweeping Devil Sword Orb technique has become so unstable and inferior in your hands. It is not wrong to say that you’ve truly shamed this technique!”

  Upon obtaining the support of Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi, the Saint Spirit’s two glowing hands rapidly began to grow. In the end, it released a hiss as its palm viciously slammed together.

  Boom!

  Terrifying power swept outwards, devastating the surroundings as the nearby space violently rippled.

  Crack!

  Countless gazes watched in horror at the spot where the Saint Spirit’s palms had slammed together. The silver sword orb trembled unsteadily as tiny cracks began to appear, before ultimately shattering to pieces...

  He had actually shattered Baili Che’s sword orb!

  Chapter 532 Victory and Defeat

  Crack!

  Countless watching disciples could not help but gasp when the silver sword orb shattered, as disbelief and undescribable shock filling their faces.

  Who could have imagined that Zhou Yuan would be so ferocious. To think that he had actually smashed Baili Che’s Devil Sweeping Sword Orb!

  Just how much power did it take to achieve such a feat?!

  “How did this happen…” The elite Sword Cometh Peak disciples were in a daze. This was the first time they had seen the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb being crushed by someone.

  Zhou Tai, Lu Yan and the rest swallowed in unison, respect flowing in their eyes as they gazed at the young figure in the sky.

  At this current moment, Zhou Yuan really looked overwhelming.

  Countless gazes shifted towards Baili Che. The latter’s face had become death pale when the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb was shattered.

  Urgh!

  In the end, he vomited a mouthful of blood, while the Genesis Qi in his body descended into chaos, evidently sustaining substantial injuries. The Devil Sweeping Sword Orb had been linked to him, and he was naturally affected by its destruction.

  Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his eyeballs nearly popping from their sockets as he glared daggers at Zhou Yuan, and howled in rage, “Zhou Yuan! You dare to shatter my sword orb!”

  Although he had relied on external help in order to cultivate the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb, it was ultimately still a success. He only needed to invest more effort and time into the orb in the future to slowly stabilize it.

  However, now that it had been smashed to pieces by Zhou Yuan, all of the hard work from before had basically evaporated into nothing. How could this not enrage Baili Che?

  In the sky, Zhou Yuan looked down at Baili Che from above with indifferent eyes. The outcome of this match had already been decided the moment the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb was shattered.

  Although b
oth of them managed to learn two of the seven Cangxuan Arts, Baili Che’s unstable sword orb did not possess the qualifications to challenge Zhou Yuan’s Omega Saint Spirit Art.

  After all, the Saint Spirit seed was the culmination of Zhou Yuan’s own efforts, and though it was still at the initial stage, it was not something Baili Che’s unstable Devil Sweeping Sword Orb could match.

  “Chief disciple Baili, will you withdraw on your own accord or do I need to take action?” Asked Zhou Yuan.

  Baili Che’s expression changed slightly as his gaze swept towards the two other battlefields in the distance. However, Kong Sheng and Zhao Zhu were currently locked in their intense battles, and clearly had no way of sending support his way.

  In his current condition, it was obviously impossible for him to fight Zhou Yuan.

  Various expressions rapidly flickered in his eyes. In the next instant, he suddenly retreated at full speed, planning to avoid Zhou Yuan for the moment, before finding an opportunity to get his revenge.

  *Uproar*

  An uproar erupted from the scouts of the various peaks, as complicated expressions rose on their faces. In the very beginning, no one had expected the battle between Zhou Yuan and Baili Che ultimately ending in the latter becoming the first to run away.

  Zhou Yuan shook his head at the sight of Baili Che’s rapidly retreating figure. An icy light flashed in the former’s eyes as he said, “Still not giving up huh?”

  With a stomp, his figure transformed into a blur as he shot forth.

  The glowing Saint Spirit also looked down at this moment and enveloped Zhou Yuan’s body once more. In the blink of an eye, it appeared above Baili Che like a phantom.

  Zhou Yuan was expressionless as a hand viciously swung downwards.

  Immense power was gathered within this strike, which was also amplified by the Saint Spirit. A muffled boom sounded from the air under the hand as the surrounding space rippled violently.

  “ARHH!”

  Baili Che roared as all the Genesis Qi in his body exploded without hesitation in a desperate attempt to resist.

  Boom!

  However, the power of Zhou Yuan’s attack was clearly far beyond anything Baili Che could match in his current condition, easily crushing all the silver Genesis Qi as it descended.
