In the sky, the blood corpse rapidly withered at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, ultimately turning into dust that drifted away with the wind.
Fan Yao’s hair was messily scattered behind him, while his pupils glowed with a blood-red light. The blood runes on his body wiggled like worms, while bloody blisters began to swell from under his skin, before exploding, causing a splatter of blood and a horrible stench to spread.
The current Fan Yao looked like a monster.
However, the Genesis Qi undulations that pulsed from his body had reached rather alarming levels. In fact, even the space around him seemed to distort a little.
He slowly raised his head, as his glowing pupils locked onto Zhou Yuan. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth as a chilling voice that could freeze even the air itself sounded.
“I never imagined that I would be pushed so far by you…”
Zhou Yuan’s expression turned grave at this moment. Fan Yao in this state made the former feel a strong sensation of danger.
“Zhou Yuan, let’s join forces!” Shouted Tang Xiaoyan. The blood corpse had now been consumed by Fan Yao, and she was now free to aid Zhou Yuan.
Rumble!
However, the Genesis Qi in Fan Yao’s body erupted a split second after her voice rang out, as he disappeared from the spot.
Zhou Yuan’s pupils shrank as he shouted, “Careful!”
A foreboding feeling also rose in Tang Xiaoyan as she hurriedly retreated.
Swoosh!
Just as she was about to back away, Fan Yao’s body appeared above her like a phantom, his pupils glowing scarlet-red, as a sinister smile rose from the corners of his lips.
“Tang Xiaoyan, since you want to die, I shall grant fulfil your wish!”
His hand swatted downwards as mountain-toppling blood-red Genesis Qi swept out from his palm with horrifying momentum. As his hand descended, a giant palm print appeared on the surface of the six color lake below.
Genesis Qi also rose from Tang Xiaoyan’s body as she poured out her full power into creating multiple layers of defenses.
Bang!
However, these defenses were as frail as paper under Fan Yao’s palm, and were easily torn apart in a short few breaths. Berserk Genesis Qi rushed forth, violently blasting into Tang Xiaoyan’s outstretched arms.
Crack!
Tang Xiaoyan’s pretty face paled as she vomited a mouthful of blood. Her figure miserably tumbled through the air, her slender arms somewhat twisted in an unnatural manner.
“Senior sister!” Outside the six color lake, the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace turned pale at the sight of this scene.
An anxious expression flooded Luluo’s eyes. She was pretty close to Tang Xiaoyan, and was naturally worried about the latter’s safety.
Swoosh!
Fan Yao did not relent after his successful blow, but instead shot forth once more an attempt to finish off Tang Xiaoyan in the quickest manner possible.
His current speed was extremely quick, enabling him to catch up to Tang Xiaoyan in a flash as terrifying Genesis Qi converged in his palm once more.
A feeling of despair rose in Tang Xiaoyan’s heart when she saw this. However, she did not give up, but instead gritted her teeth as a decisive look emerged in her eyes. She was prepared to fight till death.
However, a figure appeared behind her just as she was about to act. An arm reached out and hooked around her waist, before quickly retreating like a shadow, directly evading Fan Yao’s chasing strike.
Tang Xiaoyan was initially stunned from being grabbed at the waist. Just as Genesis Qi was about to surge out, the arm around her waist loosened and released her.
Her head jerked around, and found Zhou Yuan standing beside her.
“Are you okay?” Zhou Yuan looked at her.
Tang Xiaoyan’s pale face flushed a little as she shook her head and softly replied, “Thank you.”
Zhou Yuan waved his hand. “Don’t clash with him directly, he’s very powerful now.”
Fan Yao stood in the air nearby, slightly cocking his head as he looked at the two chief disciples and playfully said, “Still in the mood to act the hero and save the damsel in distress even at this juncture?”
His voice was filled with ridicule.
However, he soon waved his hand and lazily said, “Never mind, since you’re already so into the act, allow me to give you two a fitting scenario… how about a pair of lovebirds fleeing for their lives?”
Zhou Yuan’s expression was calm as he said, “It’s never good to celebrate too early… I believe your current empowered state will not last for long, right?”
Fan Yao lifted his palm as dreadful blood-red Genesis Qi converged towards it into a swirling mass, as he nonchalantly said, “Don’t worry, there’s plenty of time to finish you guys off, and even massacre the other disciples from your teams.”
Fan Yao’s gaze shifted towards Tang Xiaoyan, “Tang Xiaoyan, do you regret collaborating with the useless Cangxuan Sect now?”
Tang Xiaoyan icily chuckled. “Who dares to cooperate with someone who would even devour his fellow disciple?”
Fan Yao shrugged in an uncaring manner. “The victor is always right.”
“However, you’ve reminded me that I’ll need to exterminate all the disciples from your teams after finishing you guys off such as to safeguard my reputation. Everyone shall be buried together in this beautiful six color lake.”
The muder laced in his words made terror rise within anyone who heard them.
In the face of such a brutal Fan Yao, even Tang Xiaoyan paled substantially.
In contrast, Zhou Yuan’s expression remained unchanged like the water in an ancient well, as he slowly said, “You appear to believe that you’ve already won?”
“What else can possibly happen?” A wide smile was plastered across Fan Yao’s face.
Zhou Yuan said to Tang Xiaoyan, “Leave him to me. There’s no need for you to interfere.”
She hesitated somewhat, but ultimately nodded. Though she was extremely doubtful of Zhou Yuan’s words...
Fan Yao crossed his arms as he toyingly stared at Zhou Yuan, seemingly very interested in where the latter found such confidence.
Swish!
With Fan Yao watching, Zhou Yuan turned into a blur as he moved, zipping away from the six color lake amidst countless stunned gazes.
*Uproar*!
Numerous gasps stealthily rang out. It seemed as if Zhou Yuan was… running?
Fan Yao was also taken aback for a moment, before he began to burst into laughter. He looked at the similarly stunned Tang Xiaoyan and chuckled, “Is he planning on abandoning you guys to run?”
Tang Xiaoyan did not answer, her heart sinking as she watched the swiftly leaving figure.
Fan Yao sighed and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already said that I will make you two fleeing lovebirds, how can I allow him to survive alone?”
Swish!
His figure disappeared once again, as a blur streaked past in the sky, swiftly chasing after Zhou Yuan.
Fan Yao was extremely quick, and the gap between the two rapidly shrank at a rate that could be seen by the naked eye.
Anyone could see that it was impossible for Zhou Yuan to escape.
Jin Zhang’s figure appeared beside Tang Xiaoyan. The latter looked at him in a hesitant manner, before she asked, “He… what is he doing?”
She was evidently still somewhat unable to believe that Zhou Yuan was really abandoning them to escape by himself.
Jin Zhang was silent for a moment, before he answered, “He’s not that kind of person.”
Tang Xiaoyan faintly nodded in agreement as confusion surfaced in her eyes. She too felt that Zhou Yuan was not such a person, so what exactly was he up to now?
Every gaze both in and outside of the six color lake was currently focused on the two fleeing and chasing figures...
Swish!
Under their gazes, Zhou Yuan’s figure turned around severa
l dozen breaths later, and landed in the middle of the ancient mountain forest.
His figure descended from the sky, landing on the solid ground.
Fan Yao’s figure soon appeared in front of Zhou Yuan and began looking around as a flash of understanding struck him. “So you were finding a good grave for yourself.”
“This place is pretty good.”
Zhou Yuan ignored the former, and took in a deep breath, before squatting down as he gently placed both palms flat on the earth.
At the sight of these actions, Fan Yao frowned as a faint sense of unease rose within him.
“Forget it, there’s no point in continuing to play with you any longer. I guess I’ll kill you now.” He began to walk forward as he spoke.
Zhou Yuan lowered his head and stared at the back of his hands. A Saint Rune that gave off a mysterious aura was slowly emerging from the flesh of his palms.
Rumble!
The land began to tremble faintly at this moment.
Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed, as a voice sounded in his heart.
“Allow me to witness your power…”
“Earth Saint Rune!”
Chapter 589 Earth Saint Rune Reveals its Power
Bzz! Bzz!
As Fan Yao stepped forward with murder in his eyes, he suddenly felt the ground tremble faintly. He initially brushed it off as his imagination, but the shaking soon began to grow more and more violent...
The land shuddered, ripples spreading upon it as if it were the surface of a lake.
Zhou Yuan was located at the very epicenter of these ripples.
Fan Yao could feel that something seemed to be surging over from all directions under the ground, giving off an invisible pressure. Even in his current state, the pressure made Fan Yao feel a trace of fear.
It was if he were an ant standing before a towering mountain...
Fan Yao stared at Zhou Yuan in alarm and uncertainty, somewhat unable to believe that the latter was the origin of this power. What kind of Genesis technique was this?!
“What trickery are you up to?!”
Fan Yao’s expression had turned dark and frosty as he quickened his pace, turning to a flash of blood-red as he shot towards Zhou Yuan.
“Did you believe these tactics will be able to scare me off? Naive fool!”
“Watch me smash your tactics to pulp with a punch!”
Rumble!
Blood-red Genesis Qi soared into the sky, seemingly dying half the sky in a blood-red hue. Violent Genesis Qi undulations unfurled from Fan Yao’s body, forcefully snapping the towering trees in the vicinity.
“Great Blood Demon skill!”
Blood-colored light began to converge from all over the sky as he roared, forming a giant blood demon shadow. This blood demon shadow had grown even more terrifying than when Fan Yao had used it earlier!
The entire area was filled with the stench of blood.
A frightening Genesis Qi pressure spread, causing the ground the crumble.
Thump!
Fan Yao’s figure rose into the sky with a sinisterly twisted face. He paused in the air for a few moments, before suddenly diving down and fusing with the enormous blood demon shadow, causing his aura to reach a dreadfully fear-inducing level.
“Die!”
He roared as he threw a punch. Human fist and the giant blood demon hand moved together, blood-red Genesis Qi converging towards them as they streaked across the sky like a blood-colored shooting star, accompanied by destructive energies as they ruthlessly blasted towards Zhou Yuan below.
The ground below had already begun to crumble before the punch had even landed, the surrounding forest continuously collapsing as if swallowed into the earth.
The current Fan Yao was akin to a blood devil that was wreaking havoc on the human world.
However, although Fan Yao was currently alarmingly imposing, Zhou Yuan remained with his hands gently pressed onto the ground, not even lifting his head to look, although the wind pressure from the sky caused his clothes to madly flap about his body.
“You’re dead no matter what kind of trick you have this time!”
As the final word rang out, Fan Yao had already begun hurtling downwards like a meteor, while his fist blasted through the air.
Zhou Yuan finally slowly raised his head at this moment. His pupils had taken on an ageless yellow hue, giving off a heavy and ancient glow, while filled with unfathomable mysteriousness.
The alarming sight of Fan Yao fused with the blood demon shadow as he descended from the sky were reflected in these ageless yellow pupils, before Zhou Yuan's palms suddenly pushed into the ground.
Rumble!
In that instant, the land within a hundred miles began to shake violently. Anyone who could sense the Genesis Qi undulations beneath the ground would see endless Genesis Qi rushing over from every direction.
Zhou Yuan raised one of his hands, as ageless yellow Genesis Qi gathered towards his palm, seemingly forming a vortex of sorts.
He intended to meet Fan Yao’s terrifying attack head-on.
“Zhou Yuan, you’re courting death!” Fan Yao laughed in anger. A split second later, blood light fell from the sky with overwhelming destructive might, and mercilessly crashed into Zhou Yuan’s hand.
Boom!
A ripple that could be seen with the naked eye unfurled, snapping countless towering trees within a ten thousand feet radius.
The ground around Zhou Yuan collapsed, forming a giant pit.
Fan Yao laughed sinisterly, as if he had already seen the fate of Zhou Yuan being destroyed into nothingness by his power.
“I shall see how you’ll survive this time!”
However, his loud laughter came to an abrupt halt when the dust below gradually began to scatter. Fan Yao looked down with a frozen expression, staring at Zhou Yuan, who was still in the same kneeling position inside the pit, one hand in contact with the ground, while the other was outstretched towards the sky.
Ageless yellow Genesis Qi swirled in the form of a mysterious vortex on his outstretched palm. Fan Yao’s frightening attack from earlier had utterly failed to shatter the seemingly weak looking ageless yellow vortex.
Not even the corners of Zhou Yuan’s clothes had been damaged.
His youthful face was as calm as a deep abyss, while his eyes indifferently looked at Fan Yao.
“How… is this possible…” Fan Yao stared at this scene in a daze, unable to believe that his full power blow had been unable to harm even a single hair on Zhou Yuan.
“It can’t be…”
“Is this an illusion…”
However, Zhou Yuan’s five fingers slowly tightened into a fist, his bottomless eyes staring at Fan Yao as he said, “It should be my turn to attack next, right?”
Swoosh!
Fan Yao’s figure rapidly retreated the instant these words sounded, pushing his speed to the max with the intent of fleeing from his place, as fear surfaced in the eyes. The earlier scene had clearly caused an intense feeling of dread to rise within him.
He was very decisive, ignoring everyone else and first prioritizing his escape.
His gut told him that if he did not leave now, this place would likely become his grave...
Zhou Yuan watched the fleeing Fan Yao with indifference, paying no attention to the latter as his hand remained fixed to the ground. Boundless ageless yellow Genesis Qi was currently pouring into his body like a flood.
The Earth Saint Rune!
It could draw in the Genesis Qi contained within the earth.
Such power was pure and heavy, power that could only form in the depths of the earth.
A thin layer of crystal gradually began to appear on Zhou Yuan’s right arm. The crystal layer gave off an ageless yellow sheen, while faint ancient grooves seemed to grow along it. These grooves gave off a natural feeling, as if they were born from nature itself.
He could feel an explosive power gathering in his right arm.
The power was so strong that it c
aused several bloody cracks to split open on his right arm, a sign that his body was unable to bear its might.
Huu!
Zhou Yuan exhaled deeply, as a cold and cruel light flickered in his eyes. His five fingers clenched tightly as he looked towards the hurriedly fleeing Fan Yao, before suddenly throwing his right fist a split second later.
Boom!
A thunderous sound boomed across the land, as an enormous glowing pillar of ageless yellow Genesis Qi abruptly shot out from Zhou Yuan’s fist.
Ageless yellow Genesis Qi churned like a tsunami, seemingly turning into a giant rampaging dragon as it flew through the air, and appeared behind Fan Yao in a single breath.
The terrifying undulations spreading behind him caused Fan Yao’s soul to nearly jump out of his body. With a mad howl, the giant blood demon shadow around him glowed brightly as he channelled all of his power into a torrent that ruthlessly blasted towards the ageless yellow Genesis Qi.
Bang!
The two forces collided a split second later.
Next, the thing that Fan Yao dreaded the most happened. The blood demon shadow that contained all of his power was unable to endure for even a few breaths in the face of the ageless yellow flood, and exploded with one final wail.
“I admit defeat! I admit defeat! Please spare my life!”
Shrieked Fan Yao, his face filled with terror.
“If you kill me, the Chosen of my Sacred Blood Hall, Zhan Taiqing, will not let you off!”
Boom!
However, Zhou Yuan was indifferent. As the blood demon shadow shattered, the ageless yellow flood pierced through and swallowed Fan Yao...
Rumble!
The flood rushed past the land.
A large ten thousand foot long crack was torn open in the ancient forest below, the many mountains along the way flattened by the passing flood...
The entire place was completely silent, with only Fan Yao’s final shriek faintly echoing across the land.
Chapter 590 Not Even Bones Remain
Only Fan Yao’s terror filled cry lingered in the ancient mountain forest.
