Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

  However, a chill suddenly rose from his feet a split second later, causing a deep sense of dread to flood his heart.

  Because the golden figure in the sky had turned his indifferent gaze downwards.

  Ning Mo’s body felt ice-cold. He immediately shot backwards without the slightest hesitation, as a shrill voice rang out from his mouth, “Wang Yuan!”

  Swoosh!

  The golden figure disappeared from the sky the moment Ning Mo began to move, and appeared directly in front of the latter. The two individuals were face to face, so close that they could even hear each other’s breathing.

  Ning Mo heard a soft voice slowly spread from Zhou Yuan’s mouth, “You guys… killed the disciples of my Cangxuan Sect, right?”

  “Since that is the case, a debt of blood must be paid in blood.”

  Ning Mo was greatly horrified. Scarlet-red Genesis Qi frantically surged out to form a crystal-like layer on his body.

  Rumble!

  Zhou Yuan’s fist rumbled forward, as snow-white brush hairs streamed out of his body and wrapped around his fist. A jade like glow gleamed across his skin as silver light blossomed from the bones in his body.

  This punch contained the apex of his power.

  “Genesis Breaker!”

  The snow-white hairs around Zhou Yuan’s fist rapidly turned black as the night.

  Killing intent was revealed as the fist flew.

  “Noo!” The fear of death surged in Ning Mo’s heart as he shrieked.

  Boom!

  However, Zhou Yuan completely ignored the former. Space seemed to crack around the fist, as it whizzed through the air, and mercilessly slammed into Ning Mo’s body amidst the many horrified watching gazes.

  Thud!

  In the next instant, Ning Mo’s body turned into a flash of scarlet-red as he was sent flying, blasting apart peak after peak along the way. In the end, it was as if a sinister looking scar had been carved into the forest...

  Boom!

  Ning Mo's figure ultimately crashed into a giant mountain, causing boulders to tumble down and bury his body.

  The entire place turned deathly silent at this moment.

  Chapter 571 Overwhelming

  An enormous crack cut through the mountain forests, the mountains along the way smashed to pieces, while gaze after gaze dazedly stared at this scene.

  The atmosphere was deathly silent.

  While Ning Mo being forced to his knees previously by a punch from Zhou Yuan could have been explained by the latter managing to catch the former off guard by concealing his true strength, the current scene had really begun to somewhat distort their common sense.

  Ning Mo’s killing blow had essentially been his most powerful attack. In the face of such an attack, even a practitioner on the same level would not have dared to take it head-on.

  However, who could have expected that Zhou Yuan would not only take zero evasive maneuvers, but select instead to forcefully blast apart Ning Mo’s strongest blow in the most barbaric of manners.

  The gazes looked towards the final peak that had collapsed in the distance, where Ning Mo’s figure was buried in the rubble. Zhou Yuan’s earlier punch had been powerful enough to slay an initial ninth layer Alpha-Origin expert.

  After a long period of silence, the gazes that turned back towards Zhou Yuan were now filled with extreme fear and wariness.

  Only now did they fully understand why the clearly seventh layer Alpha-Origin Zhou Yuan had managed to become a chief disciple in the Cangxuan Sect.

  In the valley, Jin Zhang and the numerous Cangxuan Sect disciples were also staring at this scene in astonishment. Although they knew that Zhou Yuan was strong, they had not expected him to crush a Sacred Palace chief disciple with such ease...

  One must know that Ning Mo’s Genesis Qi cultivation had likewise exceeded the ten thousand mark. Such talent would surely place him amongst the upper ranks of the seven Cangxuan Sect chief disciples.

  “I never imagined that his strength would grow to an astonishing level after the nine dragons baptism.” There was a rather complicated expression in Jin Zhang’s eyes. Zhou Yuan was far stronger than he had been during the Genesis reservoir ceremony.

  Respect rose in the eyes of the other disciples.

  On the other hand, the expressions of the Sacred Palace disciples turned somewhat ugly for a time, clearly unable to believe that Ning Mo would suffer such a miserable loss to a Cangxuan Sect chief disciple.

  Chief disciple Wang Yuan in particular was stunned for quite some time, before finally returning to his senses, as his face rapidly turned extremely stormy.

  Zhou Yuan ignored everyone’s gazes, as his indifferent eyes looked towards the final collapsed peak in the distance. Ning Mo’s Genesis Qi undulations had grown extremely weak, but should still have a single breath left within him.

  Hence, Zhou Yuan started to walk forward, clearly intent on taking the former’s life while he was down.

  Rumble!

  However, just as he lifted his foot off the ground, a ferocious and piercing whistle was suddenly heard. A flash of black arrived along with alarming Genesis Qi, smashing straight towards Zhou Yuan’s head.

  Before the flash of black landed, the ground below his feet had already begun to crumble.

  Zhou Yuan’s foot paused as his eyes narrowed slightly. With a grasp of his hand, the Heavenly Yuan Brush appeared and swept upwards.

  Clang!

  The sound of metal striking metal loudly rang out as sparks flew in all directions.

  A berserk ripple unfurled, snapping the surrounding ancient trees at their waists.

  Zhou Yuan’s figure jerked a little as he raised his head. The object that had crashed into the Heavenly Yuan Brush was a black metal club on which ancient Genesis Runes had been inscribed.

  At the other end of the black metal club was the Sacred Palace chief disciple, Wang Yuan.

  The duo’s gazes clashed into the air, killing intent surging within their eyes.

  Wang Yuan shouted with an eerily chilling look in his eyes, “You’ve got big balls kid, to think that you actually dared to try and kill him!”

  Zhou Yuan’s earlier counter attack had been far too swift. As such, even Wang Yuan had been unable to rush to Ning Mo’s aid in time, resulting in the latter being gravely injured by Zhou Yuan.

  A mocking smile rose from the corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth. “Since you Sacred Palace guys dared to kill my Cangxuan Sect disciples, why do I need to show any mercy to your chief disciple?”

  Wang Yuan chillingly retorted, “What bold words, who the hell do you think you are?!”

  His hands tightly grasped around the black metal bat as black Genesis Qi flowed along his arms. With a furious roar, the metal bat smashed downwards once more, with power so great that it would easily pulverise an entire mountain.

  However, Zhou Yuan was unafraid, the Heavenly Yuan Brush turning into a black blur as it rose to meet the bat. Black brush and bat clashed violently time and time again, exchanging over a hundred blows in a mere span of a few breaths.

  The duo’s surroundings were quickly demolished by their brutal blows.

  Clang!

  After one final clash, Zhou Yuan and Wang Yuan’s figures shot backwards.

  The hearts of the Sacred Palace disciples sunk when they saw this. They had originally been hoping that Wang Yuan would be able to convincingly defeat that chief disciple from the Cangxuan Sect, and redeem some face for the Sacred Palace. However, they never imagined that even Wang Yuan would not be able to gain much of an advantage against Zhou Yuan.

  One must know that Wang Yuan was ranked fourth amongst the ten chief disciples of the Sacred Palace, and was much stronger than the fifth ranked Ning Mo.

  The metal bat in Wang Yuan’s hand forcefully slid across the ground, leaving a deep scar in its wake, as he gravely stared at Zhou Yuan. The former had already gotten a rough grasp of the latter’s strength after that rapid series of exchanges earlier.

  Z
hou Yuan’s Genesi Qi cultivation was not the least bit inferior to his own.

  “My Qi Dwelling has twelve thousand Genesis Qi stars. This kid is clearly only at the seventh layer, so why are his foundations so strong?!” Wang Yuan’s expression fluctuated indeterminately. From what he knew, it was extremely rare even for the Chosens of the Sacred Palace to have such strong foundations at the seventh layer.

  While Wang Yuan was attacking Zhou Yuan, Jin Zhang had flown out from the valley, and now stood in the air. The Genesis Rune Brush in his hand flickered, numerous Genesis Rune emerging as his gaze locked onto Wang Yuan.

  With two chief disciples currently targeting him, Wang Yuan’s brows began to knit together. He knew that the current situation no longer favored them.

  Hence, he decisively waved his hand.

  Although the numerous surrounding Sacred Palace disciples were rather unwilling, they had no choice but to begin withdrawing.

  Several disciples landed on the collapsed peak and dug out Ning Mo from the rubble. The latter had lost consciousness long ago, his entire body drenched in blood, while a huge chunk of his chest was visible caved in.

  His breathing was extremely feeble.

  From the looks of it, it was very uncertain whether or not he’ll survive.

  Wang Yuan’s expression darkened even more at the sight of Ning Mo’s condition. He darkly glared at Zhou Yuan and slowly said, “You’re in big trouble.”

  “Is that so?” Zhou Yuan softly chuckled.

  “If Ning Mo dies because of you, Sacred Palace will make you pay a painful price!” Each word was said with a clear pause in between.

  “Are you the one whose going to punish me?” Zhou Yuan raised the Heavenly Yuan Brush and pointed it at Wang Yuan.

  Wang Yuan icily chuckled and said, “You are indeed quite powerful. However, don’t be too happy yet. This area has been occupied by the Sacred Palace, and unfortunately for you guys, the chief disciple of the Sacred Blood Hall is also present.”

  “Chief disciple of the Sacred Blood Hall, Fan Yao?”

  Zhou Yuan did not react to this name, but Jin Zhang’s expression abruptly changed. He soon hurriedly transmitted to Zhou Yuan, “Fan Yao is ranked three amongst the ten chief disciples of the Sacred Palace, and is much stronger than Ning Mo and Wang Yuan! He is an extremely troublesome foe!”

  Zhou Yuan’s eyes rippled for a moment as his brows furrowed slightly, not because of this new Fan Yao, but because he was a little surprised to hear that three chief disciples from the Sacred Palace would actually be gathered in this district.

  “Are these guys also after the six color treasure location?” A thought flashed past in Zhou Yuan’s head.

  When Wang Yuan saw Jin Zhang’s expression change, he icily said, “I advise you guys to hurry up and leave this area while you still can. When Fan Yao comes, you guys should be prepared to be buried here forever.”

  After finishing, he cast one final icy glance at Zhou Yuan, before waving his hand and withdrawing.

  “Go!”

  “Zhou Yuan, you’d better start running like a dog that has lost its home. If we meet again, I will surely make you understand the fate of offending the Sacred Palace!”

  Wang Yuan retreated with the numerous Sacred Palace disciples. It was a very wise move on his part, since he knew that they no longer had any advantage in the current situation.

  Zhou Yuan did not try to stop them. The Sacred Palace group was not weak, and both sides would most definitely suffer considerable losses if they were to fight.

  The various factions were still watching some distance away, and would surely pounce once they discovered any weakness.

  Despite Wang Yuan leaving such threats behind, everyone could see that they were retreating in a rather miserable and dejected manner.

  The numerous Cangxuan Sect disciples in the valley began to cheer.

  Far away, the various factions clicked their tongues in admiration. The Cangxuan Sect had clearly been in a very dire spot earlier. Who could have expected that the appearance of that Saint Genesis Peak chief disciple would bring about such a reversal.

  Although he looked rather young, he gave off an awe-inspiring aura that made the various experts sigh deeply.

  “Can’t believe that the fallen Saint Genesis Peak of the Cangxuan Sect would produce such an amazing individual…”

  Chapter 572 Helpers

  As the Sacred Palace team left, the various factions far away shook their heads in disappointment. They had originally been hoping for a fight to break out between the two overlord sects, because it would give them an opportunity to slip into the chaos and take advantage.

  The Mythic Genesis essence on both sides was surely very plentiful after all.

  Unfortunately for them, both parties had remained rational.

  As such, since there were no longer any opportunities here, the various factions could only begin leaving one after another.

  In the short span of a few minutes, the originally noisy mountain range had once again become silent.

  After all the factions had left, the sounds of rushing wind was suddenly heard from behind. Jin Zhang and the others turned around, to find several dozen figures descending from the sky.

  It was Gu Hongyi, Zhou Tai, Lu Yan and the rest, but all they saw when they arrived was the mess left behind after the battle.

  “Chief disciple Jin Zhang, are you guys alright?” The first thing they did was look towards Jin Zhang and the other Cangxuan Sect disciples.

  Gu Hongyi’s gaze swept across the area, as she somewhat puzzledly asked, “Zhou Yuan, where are the Sacred Palace disciples?”

  Jin Zhang could not help but chuckle. “You guys are late. The Sacred Palace team has already been chased off by Zhou Yuan. One of the chief disciples on their side has been gravely injured, and it is uncertain if he will survive.”

  Gu Hongyi and the others looked towards each other. It was already over?

  “Chief disciple Zhou Yuan was too powerful.” Behind Jin Zhang, the saved Cangxuan Sect disciples looked towards Zhou Yuan, their eyes and voices filled with respect.

  The scene of Zhou Yuan swiftly crushing Ning Mo earlier had left a very deep impression on them.

  In fact, there was even some envy in their eyes when they looked towards Gu Hongyi and the others. After all, with such a powerful leader, the rate of collecting Mythic Genesis essence would undoubtedly rise tremendously.

  With regards to these gazes, the Cangxuan Sect disciples from Zhou Yuan’s team felt quite honored.

  Jin Zhang also cast his gaze towards Zhou Yuan and cupped his fists together, “Chief disciple Zhou Yuan, it’s mostly thanks to you this time.”

  If not for Zhou Yuan’s timely arrival, it would certainly have been a disaster.

  Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, “It’s only right that we should help each other out.”

  Inside the Mythic Utopia, the entire Cangxuan Sect was basically one entity, and the disciples were no longer divided by their peaks. If their strength were to fall, it would only become even more difficult when they eventually faced the Sacred Palace.

  Hence, it was very unlikely for Zhou Yuan to sit by and watch as a team led by a chief disciple was wiped out by the Sacred Palace.

  A complicated expression rose in Jin Zhang’s eyes. He had after all been one of the key figures in the boundary back then when the Spirit Rune Peak had tried to test Yaoyao, and definitely caused some trouble for the duo.

  Hence, he was in truth quite touched that Zhou Yuan had immediately rushed over after receiving the urgent call of aid.

  However, Jin Zhang soon composed himself and swept a quick glance at his team members. “Chief disciple Zhou Yuan, let’s withdraw from this area first. The Sacred Palace has already made this district a temporary base of sorts.”

  His expression was rather grave. If Wang Yuan’s previous words had been true, there would be three Sacred Palace chief disciples in this district alone, a very powerful line-up indeed.

  Though he was also quite puzzled as to why three Sacred Palace chief disciples would be gathered in one place.

  Regardless, the forces Sacred Palace had in this area were far too powerful, and it would be very disadvantageous for the Cangxuan Sect group to continue staying here. What they should do now was to shift their target to another district, and search for Mythic Genesis essence there instead.

  However, Jin Zhang was soon surprised, because Zhou Yuan had shaken his head in response. “I’m afraid that I have no intention of withdrawing from this district.”

  He had rushed here with his team not only to save Jin Zhang and the others, but more importantly, because the six color treasure location was somewhere here.

  After searching and harvesting Mythic Genesis essence for some time, Zhou Yuan clearly understood how difficult it was to condense a six-color Divine Establishing Treasure. As such, he knew how amazing it would be to obtain one, and since he had information about it, there was no reason to give up.

  Jin Zhang was clearly a little stunned by this answer, and hurriedly said, “Don’t be rash Zhou Yuan. You also heard earlier that the Sacred Blood Hall chief disciple, Fan Yao, is somewhere in this area. If we don’t hurry up and withdraw, they will likely make us pay a terrible price when they return.”

  “Fan Yan is very strong!”

  Jin Zhang said in a low voice, “If we were to rank all of the chief disciples from the various factions of the Shengzhou Continent, Fan Yao would definitely be amongst the top ten.”

  “Fan Yao huh…”

  Zhou Yuan’s eyes rippled for a moment as he fell silent, before he said, “There’s a treasure location in this district, and if I’m not wrong, it is the very reason why so many Sacred Palace chief disciples have rushed here.”

  “A treasure location?” Jin Zhang was taken aback. Only now did he understand why Zhou Yuan insisted on staying here. After all, a treasure location was akin to a giant opportunity in the Mythic Utopia.

  However, even if there was a treasure location here, many Sacred Palace experts were already gathered here, and there was even the powerful Fan Yao overseeing them. It would not be easy to vie for the treasure with such formidable foes around.
