If it were one on one, even Lei Jun felt that he had no chance. Hence, he had decisively chosen to retreat.
Rumble!
However, a thunderous noise suddenly rumbled behind him. Sonic booms were heard in quick succession, accompanied by berserk Genesis Qi undulations.
Lei Jun cast a quick glance back from the corner of his eye, only for his expression to change. Zhou Yuan was propelling towards him on golden Genesis Qi. From his murderous and blood-thirsty appearance, there was obviously no way he was going to let Lei Jun escape.
“Where are you going?!” Zhou Yuan’s voice dripped with killing intent. With a jerk of his sleeve, golden Genesis Qi swirled around the Heavenly Yuan Brush as it shot forth, its pitch-black tip peerlessly sharp and unstoppable.
Lei Jun’s expression shivered at the sight of the Heavenly Yuan Brush. He had personally witnessed the brush easily piercing through Tie Mo’s Genesis Qi defenses earlier. This weapon appeared to be lethally effective against Genesis Qi.
Zhou Yuan’s Heaven Genesis Weapon was definitely no ordinary artifact.
Hence, Lei Jun did not dare to be careless. With a stern shout, lightning light suddenly burst out from the top of his head, turning into a lightning sword.
The lightning sword immediately began to draw in the surrounding Genesis Qi as lightning cackled around it. It was also a low-grade Heaven Genesis Weapon.
Rumble!
The lightning sword shot forth and collided with the Heavenly Yuan Brush. With each clash deafening noises erupted.
Though the lightning sword was being suppressed by the brush from start to end, it ultimately succeeded in stopping the Heavenly Yuan Brush.
However, Lei Jun’s fleeing figure also came to a stop, his expression changing indeterminately as he looked towards the front. Zhou Yuan’s figure had appeared in front of Lei Jun, golden light glittering around him as he expressionlessly stared at Lei Jun.
Lei Jun gritted his teeth and yelled, “Zhou Yuan! Don’t go overboard! You’ve already killed a Chosen of my Sacred Palace, and if you push things too far, my Sacred Palace will not let you off!”
Boom!
Zhou Yuan, however, had no intention of conversing. Genesis Qi exploded from his body as his figure shot forth. A palm thrust forward as a torrent of boundless golden Genesis Qi rushed towards Lei Jun with mountain-toppling power.
Upon seeing Zhou Yuan attack without saying a single word, Lei Jun released a battle cry. Flashing lightning-like Genesis Qi roared and smashed against the torrent of golden Genesis Qi.
Boom boom boom!
There appeared to be no end to the rumbling explosions.
However, Lei Jun’s pupils soon shrank a little. He had seen his flickering lightning-like Genesis Qi continuously crumbling under the surging might of Zhou Yuan’s golden Genesis Qi.
Boom!
The golden Genesis Qi finally arrived, heavily slamming into Lei Jun’s body. His figure was sent hurtling through the air, and blood appeared from the corner of his mouth.
“How can this be?!” Lei Jun could not help but roar in surprise. Although Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi foundations had grown tremendously and reached the level of thirty-nine thousand, one must know that Lei Jun’s own Genesis Qi foundations were at the forty-five thousand level!
As such, Lei Jun was somewhat unable to comprehend how he had been crushed in a clash of Genesis Qi.
One had to know that Zhou Yuan was currently utilizing only his Genesis Qi and had yet to even tap into his physical power. How the hell was Lei Jun going to stop him if he were to use both?!
Swoosh!
These thoughts had barely surfaced in Lei Jun’s head when a shadow appeared in front of him like a phantom. Zhou Yuan’s five fingers clenched into a fist, a jade glow emerging from his body as silver light blossomed in his bones.
Boom!
His expression was coldly indifferent as he punched.
Golden Genesis Qi spouted out, accompanied by an explosion of raw physical power.
Even space itself seemed to distort a little under the punch, clearly showing how terrifying it was.
Lei Jun’s expression changed drastically as all the Genesis Qi in his body poured out without reservation, creating bolt after bolt of lightning that blasted towards the punch.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
However, every single lightning bolt shattered as the punch slammed through the air. Some of the resultant force struck Lei Jun’s body, blasting him away and causing him to spit out multiple mouthfuls of blood.
Rumble!
Two glowing figures tangoed in the sky. But everyone could clearly see that Lei Jun was being one-sidedly pummelled. The sight of him vomiting mouthful after mouthful of blood was pitiful to the extreme.
After all, Zhou Yuan was currently vastly different from a few days prior.
The mouths of Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others could not help but repeatedly open and close. It was a long while later before they finally sucked in a long breath of cool air and said, “He’s way too barbaric!”
Was he intending to punch Lei Jun to death?
Boom!
Bruised and bloodied in the sky, Lei Jun suddenly roared as he quickly created some distance between them. His hands swiftly formed a seal, and he shouted, “Nine Underworlds Lightning Art!”
Rumble!
The surrounding Genesis Qi abruptly began to boil as dark clouds rapidly gathered in the sky. A black thunderbolt a hundred feet wide ripped through the clouds and headed straight for Zhou Yuan.
That black thunderbolt was filled with the power of destruction.
“Zhou Yuan, this is the strongest technique of my Lightning Sacred Hall. Die!” roared Lei Jun. He had endured everything previously to prepare his strongest technique!
Zhou Yuan lifted his head, his eyes narrowing slightly as he gazed at the black thunderbolt, feeling the power contained within it. His figure immediately moved, leaving numerous after-images behind as he hurriedly retreated.
However, the black thunderbolt seemed to have a mind of its own and closely followed him like an inseparable shadow.
“Haha, Zhou Yuan. You can’t escape.” Lei Jun laughed heartily.
He was currently filled with elation.
Zhou Yuan’s figure stopped, gazing at the rapidly approaching black thunderbolt with a calm face as he said, “Since I can’t run, I’ll take it head on.”
His hands slowly spread outwards as he closed his eyes.
“Stop trying to put up an act,” said Lei Jun through gnashed teeth.
Rumble!
The black thunderbolt seemed to roar like a giant python, ultimately bombarding Zhou Yuan’s body with unequaled ferocity under Lei Jun’s sinister gaze. A loud noise immediately rang out across the area, distorting even space itself as lightning devastated the surroundings.
Zuoqiu Qingyu’s, Li Chunjun’s and Ning Zhan’s expressions changed slightly. Lei Jun’s counter-attack was likewise scalp-numbing. Was Zhou Yuan really able to survive such a frontal clash with that devastating attack?
A lightning glow filled the area, Lei Jun’s sinister laughter the only sound to be heard.
The gazes of Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others were tightly glued to the slowly dissipating lightning light.
As the lightning light faded, a figure was revealed standing in the air with an expressionless face.
Lei Jun’s sinister laughter came to an abrupt stop.
The expression on his face slowly turned rigid as he stared in despair to his front. Zhou Yuan was standing in the air while a mysterious glowing silhouette enveloped his body. Glowing wings reached out from the silhouette’s back as they slowly unfurled.
An indescribable undulation pulsed from the mysterious glowing silhouette.
Zhou Yuan was completely unharmed inside it.
“How is this possible…,” mumbled Lei Jun.
Zhou Yuan’s slightly shut eyes slowly opened. He stared at the deathly pale Lei Jun and said in an indifferent voice, “Is
the strongest technique of your Lightning Sacred Palace used for fishing?”
Chapter 637 Death in a Single Punch
Zhou Yuan stood in the sky while a mysterious glowing silhouette covered his body. Two glowing wings grew out from the silhouette’s back and slowly flapped.
Each flap of the wings caused a small whirlwind to arise.
A powerful and mysterious undulation slowly pulsed.
“How is this possible…” Lei Jun dazedly stared at this scene, clearly unable to understand how his strongest blow had failed to do any damage to Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan expressionlessly stared at Lei Jun as the glowing wings gently flapped behind him. The mysterious silhouette was naturally the Omega Saint Spirit Art. But it was now in its complete form.
By borrowing the pressure from Tuntun’s blood, Zhou Yuan had finally succeeded in fusing the final nine core beast spirits into the Saint Spirit Seed a few days ago. In other words, his Omega Saint Spirit Art had finally been completed.
The surrounding Genesis Qi endlessly gushed towards him as it was quickly swallowed by the Saint Spirit silhouette and fed back into Zhou Yuan, allowing him to swiftly recover his Genesis Qi.
In its complete state, the Omega Saint Spirit Art was undoubtedly much stronger than before.
Swish!
Lei Jun could already sense the strong smell of death from Zhou Yuan’s body. Hence, he immediately shot backwards in retreat the moment he came back to his senses, clearly intending to flee.
There was no longer any fight within him.
Zhou Yuan gazed at the pathetic figure of the fleeing Lei Jun with indifference. His five fingers slowly clenched into a fist, the chilling killing intent in his eyes seemingly freezing the surrounding air.
Plotting against Yaoyao and trapping her in a dangerous situation had fully touched Zhou Yuan’s reverse scale. As such, the murderous intent he felt towards the Chosen of the Sacred Palace had reached its peak at this very moment.
These two must die here!
Not a single one shall escape!
Bzz!
The Saint Spirit silhouette’s wings suddenly shook as Zhou Yuan’s figure disappeared from the spot. Such speed had already gone beyond the realms of one’s imagination.
A few breaths had barely passed after Zhou Yuan disappeared when Lei Jun, utterly terrified, saw the space above him begin to distort as a figure began emerging.
Zhou Yuan’s expression was ice-cold as he threw out a tightly clenched fist.
Dazzling light emerged from all thirty-nine thousand Genesis Qi stars in his Qi Dwelling. Golden Genesis Qi rushed through his body like golden liquid, flowing through his channels and ultimately flooding out from his fist.
At the same time, the drop of golden blood in his heart emitted a resplendent glow, and countless golden threads reached out, connecting flesh and blood as boundless power poured out.
This punch was the cumulation of thirty-nine thousand Genesis Qi stars and his golden blood stage power!
Moreover, the Saint Spirit silhouette was also amplifying it.
Faint cracks began to emerge in the surroundings before the punch landed, a phenomenon caused by a great power rippling the fabric of space.
Boundless force rushed out like a tsunami as horror flooded Lei Jun’s face. He had clearly sensed the might of Zhou Yuan’s punch.
Lei Jun shrieked in terror, “Mercy! I was only following orders!”
The punch was death itself, causing Lei Jun to lose all semblance of dignity.
But Zhou Yuan’s expression remained ice-cold. Gales roared as the punch finally arrived and slammed into the layers of defensive Genesis Qi around Lei Jun’s body, rippling the surrounding space.
Boom!
Numerous Genesis Qi defenses disintegrated in a matter of seconds.
Dong!
Zhou Yuan’s fist of annihilation struck Lei Jun’s body as destructive power instantly burst out like an erupting volcano.
The surrounding space rippled violently, accompanied by a blood-curdling shriek.
Thud!
Lei Jun’s body was instantly pulverized, turning into a bloody mist.
Zhou Yuan’s full-power punch had reached an unexpectedly terrifying extreme!
On a hill below, Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others stared in a daze at the drifting bloody mist in the sky, unable to speak for a long time. The scene’s impact was just far too great.
They never imagined that Zhou Yuan would pulverize a Chosen into a bloody mist...
Come on, that was a Chosen of the Sacred Palace!
It was hard to imagine how big of a commotion it would cause once news of it spread.
In the sky, Zhou Yuan stared at the drifting bloody mist with an ice-cold expression. He soon blew away the mist with a wave of his sleeve and grabbed the glittering six-color object within.
It was a six-color Divine Establishing Treasure.
Although Lei Jun had been blasted into nothingness, the Divine Establishing Treasure in his Qi Dwelling had survived.
Zhou Yuan kept the Divine Establishing Treasure before casting his gaze towards a certain crumbling mountain in the distance where Tie Mo’s corpse was slowly turning cold. Zhou Yuan extended a hand, and a suction force suddenly emerged.
Another dazzling six-color object rose from Tie Mo’s corpse and landed in Zhou Yuan’s hand.
Lei Jun’s and Tie Mo’s six-color Divine Establishing Treasures contained extremely pure Genesis Qi undulations. It seemed as if several Divine Establishing Treasures had already been fused into them, putting them on track to becoming a seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure.
It was obvious that Lei Jun and Tie Mo had spared no effort for their Divine Establishing Treasures. Unfortunately for them, however, everything had only ended up benefiting Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan kept this six-color Divine Establishing Treasure as well before his gaze suddenly looked towards a certain hill. A stream of Genesis Qi was sent out with a wave of his sleeve, sweeping up the faintly glowing object there.
The glowing object flew towards him and landed in Zhou Yuan’s hand. It was a copper mirror.
“An image capturing copper mirror?” Zhou Yuan’s ice-cold eyes glanced at the Sacred Palace mark on the mirror, and he immediately concluded that it had been set up by Lei Jun and Tie Mo. This copper mirror had likely transmitted everything that had happened here.
As such, Zhou Yuan raised the copper mirror and placed it in front of his face. Murder gushed in his eyes as he icily said, “Have you seen enough? There are now two vacant spots amongst the Sacred Palace Chosen.”
He let his voice echo for a brief moment before he crushed the mirror with his hand.
…
The image outside the Cangxuan Sect headquarters dissipated. Seated on a branch, Zhan Taiqing’s originally smiling face turned rather stormy.
Her scarlet irises were filled with a sinister chillingness.
She had clearly not expected things to turn out like this...to think that two Sacred Palace Chosens had actually been slain by Zhou Yuan...
This was an outcome that she was somewhat unable to accept.
In contrast to Zhan Taiqing’s stormy expression, Li Qingchan’s mouth hung agape. It was a long while later before she slowly returned to her senses as shock began to fill her eyes.
How could she have anticipated an outcome that even Zhan Taiqing had not expected?
One must know that it had taken Zhou Yuan everything to defeat Chai Ying a few days ago. But now he had killed two Chosen who were stronger than Chai Ying in succession. Just how much had he grown?
This battle accomplishment alone would put Zhou Yuan amongst the top four of the ten Cangxuan Sect Chosen!
A complicated expression rose in Li Qingchan’s eyes. No one had expected that Zhou Yuan was unknowingly approaching their level...
Li Qingchan took in a deep breath, suppressing the churning emotions in her heart, before looking towards Zhan Taiqing. She said in a pleased manner,
“Zhan Taiqing, you guys have really crushed your own feet with a rock this time.”
The deaths of two Chosen were definitely a substantial blow to the Sacred Palace. But the Sacred Palace only had themselves to thank for such an outcome. If they had not tried to set up Yaoyao, Zhou Yuan’s killing intent would not have been so intense.
The smile on Zhan Taiqing’s face had faded long ago. She stared at the spot where the image had faded with piercingly icy eyes before withdrawing her gaze. She said in a cold voice, “Not bad. To think that he’s managed to repeatedly inconvenience my Sacred Palace…
“Li Qingchan, tell him to be a little more careful. If he lands in my hands, I will drain all the blood from his body and make him suffer till he begs for death…”
Li Qingchan smiled faintly. “It’s okay for me to hear these words, but I’m afraid you won’t be so lucky if they land in Yaoyao’s ears.”
“Oh? You mean that Zhou Xiaoyao?”
Zhan Taiqing raised her brows and sneered, “Is anyone in your Cangxuan Sect worthy of my attention besides Chu Qing? If Zhou Xiaoyao manages to survive, feel free to let her seek me out. You can watch how I’ll dismantle her.”
Li Qingchan slowly said, “I believe that you’ll regret it.”
Zhan Taiqing’s red lips curled in disdain, and her figure disappeared in a flash of red light, leaving a message behind: “Is that so? I’ll be waiting.”
Chapter 638 Extremely Daring
In the sky, Zhou Yuan’s surging Genesis Qi receded as he crushed the copper mirror. He then turned and nodded towards the hill where Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others were.
However, this was clearly not the time for catching up. Hence, he quickly shifted his gaze towards the Spirit Subduing Mountain. It was filled with poison mist, and a look of worry flitted across his eyes. He did not dare to tarry a moment longer, his figure transforming into a streak of light flying towards the mountain.
He needed to find Yaoyao as soon as possible!
When he landed, he immediately felt a tremendous suppression force envelop the Spirit between his brows. It was clearly due to the Spirit Subduing Rocks within the mountain.
This caused Zhou Yuan’s heart to sink because it meant that this place did have a suppressive effect on the Spirit.
