Li Qingchan and Kong Sheng nodded.
After leaving instructions, Chu Qing did not dare to delay any further and immediately said to Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan, “Let’s move!”
Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan exchanged a glance, nodding gently.
Swoosh!
Chu Qing stood on his tiptoes, and suddenly Genesis Qi burst forth from his body. He transformed into a stream of light, piercing into the boundless Spirit Confusion Fog.
Zhou Yuan’s and Yaoyao’s Spirits flickered. They immediately followed.
Watching the three people disappear into the fog, Li Qingchan and the other Chosen revealed looks of awe. They knew that the last battle of the Mythic Utopia was on the shoulders of Chu Qing, Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan but that their opponents were also outstanding leaders in the Sacred Palace.
Thus even they were not certain who would win in the end.
The winner of the battle between the Cangxuan Sect and the Sacred Palace in the Mythic Utopia would depend on this great battle.
...
Outside Jade Disc Mountain.
Countless eyes were fixed on the fog shrouding the last peak.
“The Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect are trapped...”
“Jiang Taishen, Zhan Taiqing, and Jin Chanzi are heading straight to the top for the jade disc!”
“It seems that they intend to take the jade disc first. Haha, no wonder they are part of the Sacred Palace. They are indeed fierce. If the jade disc falls into their hands, the Cangxuan Sect will no longer be able to compete.”
“It seems that the Sacred Palace is more skilful in this competition.”
“......”
Everybody began discussing in whispers. They evidently thought the Sacred Palace had an advantage in the final battle between the Sacred Palace and the Cangxuan Sect.
Zuoqiu Qingyu, Luluo, Li Chunjun and Ning Zhan all let out a sigh.
Swoosh!
But just as numerous gazes were filling with regret, someone suddenly let out a loud exclaim. He saw that within the thick fog, there were three streams of light shooting out.
“Someone of the Cangxuan Sect is breaking out!”
“Who is it?!”
“The one in front seems to be Chu Qing...followed by Zhou Xiaoyao and Zhou Yuan!”
“Chu Qing’s appearance is not a surprise, but why are the other two here and not Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan?” many people exclaimed.
Yaoyao had always kept a low profile, and Zhou Yuan had just made a name for himself, so in many people’s eyes, the strongest three should be Chu Qing, Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan.
The Sacred Palace Chosen naturally also saw the three people breaking through. But they had no intention of blocking them. Instead, a flicker of derision came into their eyes.
So what if they broke through? The real difficulty was not breaking through: Jiang Taishen, Zhan Taiqing and Jin Chanzi, who were also heading for the summit, were the most powerful pillars of the Sacred Palace.
“Hmph, go ahead. When you meet the Sacred Palace’s strongest three, you will understand that Cangxuan Heaven belongs to our Sacred Palace!
“And your Cangxuan Sect’s time has passed!”
Chapter 645 Chu Qing's Combat Form
Swoosh!
Near the seventh peak, under countless astonished gazes, Chu Qing, Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao shot forward. They swiftly followed and chased after Jiang Taishen and the others as they headed up the giant peak.
Jiang Taishen’s eyes flickered ever so slightly as he swept a glance behind him. “They really caught up.”
Zhan Taiqing's scarlet eyes glanced back, a charming smile curling on her lips. She said, “I didn’t expect Zhou Yuan and Zhou Xiaoyao to be the two following Chu Qing. Really interesting. I thought it would be Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan.”
“Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan have relatively weak Spirit, and if they were to break out of the Spirit Confusion Fog, their Genesis Qi would be exhausted. Their strength can’t be compared to you two. If their Genesis Qi was exhausted, they would basically have no chance of winning.” Jiang Taishen smiled.
This was what he had originally predicted, and as long as Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan dared to break through the fog and come after them, he could tell Zhan Taiqing and Jin Chanzi to kill them.
But he seemed to have made a miscalculation.
Yet it didn’t matter. They were all people who would die; the names Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan had merely changed to Zhou Yuan and Zhou Xiaoyao.
Jiang Taishen gently waved his hand, saying, “Since they are determined to seek death, let’s fulfill their wishes today.”
His voice faded, and his body came to a stop. He turned around, looking indifferently at Chu Qing and the other two chasing after them.
Zhan Taiqing and Jin Chanzi also halted as they playfully stared at the people behind them, their eyes flickering with ridicule.
Seeing that Jiang Taishen and the other two had stopped, Chu Qing also gave a wave of his hand. He was the first to stop. “Jiang Taishen, you’re too impatient.”
Jiang Taishen smiled. “Chu Qing, you're the one impatiently seeking death.”
When his voice sounded out, everyone felt an astonishing surge of fluctuating Genesis Qi. Jiang Taishen’s body began to rise, and the ground seemed to quake.
Ash-grey Genesis Qi slowly rose from Jiang Taishen’s head like a huge halo, blotting out the sun and sky.
An oppressive Genesis Qi had shrouded the heavens and the earth.
Countless eyes fixed on his figure. The powerful person ranked first on the Chosen List was finally going to display his terrifying strength?
Jiang Taishen's expression remained indifferent as he stretched out a slender finger, pointing to Chu Qing from afar. Then, the corners of his mouth curved in a chilling arc, and he waved his finger.
Boom!
From his fingertips a waterfall of ash-grey Genesis Qi roared out. It tore huge marks through the air wherever it passed.
It could be seen that the Genesis Qi that Jiang Taishen cultivated was incredibly tyrannical.
It would have been impossible for ordinary Chosen to withstand Jiang Taishen’s attack. They would most likely be killed within seconds, their bodies turned into nothingness from the corrosive qi.
Zhou Yuan gazed at the waterfall of roaring grey Genesis Qi, but his eyes suddenly shrank the moment the ash-grey Genesis Qi made an abrupt turn. It wasn’t charging towards Chu Qing. It was aiming for him!
Jiang Taishen had immediately attacked him without warning!
The speed was extremely fast, almost reaching Zhou Yuan in just a breath of time. But Zhou Yuan remained calm and composed. He did not panic in the slightest.
Shua!
Just as the gush of ash-grey Genesis Qi was inches away from Zhou Yuan, a ghost-like figure appeared in front of him. The figure’s hands clenched and slammed forward.
Boom!
The fist light collided with the ash-grey Genesis Qi, causing a storm-like Genesis Qi shock wave to rage out.
The figure standing in front of Zhou Yuan did not move an inch, his head so smooth that it reflected light. It was Chu Qing.
Chu Qing lifted his head, his eyes narrowing as he met Jiang Taishen’s eyes. “Jiang Tashen, I find it a little strange that you always possess intense killing intent for Zhou Yuan?”
Previously, Jin Chanzi had tried to attack and kill Zhou Yuan. Even now, Jiang Taishen had directed his attack at Zhou Yuan.
Although Zhou Yuan had killed some Chosen from the Sacred Palace and had attracted a lot of hatred, Jiang Taishen's and Jin Chanzi’s actions still seemed a little too excessive.
Smiling, Jiang Taishen flicked his finger. “Because I feel that in the future Zhou Yuan will be a threat to my Sacred Palace. Since this is the case, I naturally need to eliminate him early.”
Chu Qing smiled. “Then I have to thank you for thinking so highly of him?” His smile gradually faded, and he nonchalantly warned, “But since I am here today, don’t even
think about touching him.”
Jiang Taishen’s eyes drooped. “Is that right? Then I would like to see whether the Ancient Barren Qi that you cultivate can protect him.”
“I'd also like to see how much progress you have made with your Sacred Underworld Bone Qi.” Chu Qing said indifferently.
“I don't think I’ll disappoint you.”
Jiang Taishen was smiling, but there was not the slightest smile in his eyes. His hands slowly spread out, his robe billowed around him, and his white hair fluttered although no wind stirred the air. His ash-grey Genesis Qi was like a storm, frantically raging from his body.
Boom!
The whole world seemed to tremble.
The ash-grey Genesis Qi coiled everywhere, bringing a bizarre coldness. Even air itself was directly corroded into nothingness when the air came into contact with the qi.
Surging with Genesis Qi, Jiang Taishen glanced at the two people behind him. “Zhan Taiqing, Jin Chanzi, you two should continue forward and seize the jade disc first.”
Zhan Taiqing and Jin Chanzi nodded and swiftly darted away.
“Leave Jiang Taishen to me, and you two can deal with the other two. Is there a problem?” Chu Qing turned to Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao.
Yaoyao remained calm, and there wasn’t the slightest ripple of emotion on her face. Zhou Yuan’s narrowed eyes locked onto Jin Chanzi’s figure, and he nodded.
“Let’s go.”
Zhou Yuan roared and raced after Zhan Taiqing and Jin Chanzi with Yaoyao.
Jiang Taishen shot a glance at them, but made no attempt to block them because he had confidence in both Zhan Taiqing and Jin Chanzi. Even though Yaoyao was slightly mysterious, Jiang Taishen attached no importance to Zhou Yuan even if he had previously killed two Chosen.
Because at their level, it wasn’t difficult to do so.
Watching the two people disappear into the distance, Jiang Taishen crossed his arms and smiled at Chu Qing. “Are you not worried about them? They are looking for death.”
“Jiang Taishen, it's good to have confidence, but don't let it become arrogance.”
“Is that right?”
Jiang Taishen swung his robe gently. The surging ash-grey Genesis Qi gathered behind him, emitted rays of light, and gradually formed a bright Genesis Qi star formation in which countless ash-grey stars twinkled.
An astonishing oppressive force slowly spread out.
In this universe, countless eyes were intensely fixed on the Genesis Qi starry formation behind Jiang Taishen. From a cursory count, the number of stars reached an astonishing one hundred thousand!
One hundred thousand Genesis Qi stars—what an incredible Genesis Qi foundation?!
Beyond the mountains, the disciples of various sects were all dumbstruck.
This was the strength of the strongest person on the Chosen List? A total of one hundred thousand Genesis Qi stars. It was enough to simply suppress the entire younger generation of Cangxuan Heaven!
Chu Qing lifted his head, studying the one hundred thousand Genesis Qi stars. His eyes slightly narrowed, displaying a trace of seriousness. His tired-looking eyes had become fierce and sharp.
“Hu...”
He took a deep breath, and his hands slowly clasped together, sending dark yellow Genesis Qi bursting forth from his body.
The dark yellow Genesis Qi filled the sky and occupied half the sky.
Rays of Genesis Qi light illuminated the air, similarly forming a Genesis Qi starry sky phenomenon in which dark yellow Genesis Qi stars were twinkling brightly.
Ninety-five thousand!
Chu Qing's Genesis Qi stars were surprisingly extremely close to one hundred thousand, and they were not much weaker than that of Jiang Taishen.
Zhou Yuan had previously speculated that Chu Qing's Genesis Qi foundation should be around sixty or seventy thousand. He now realised he had underestimated the foundation of the chief Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect.
Moreover, following the unrestrained eruption of Genesis Qi from Chu Qing's body, everyone was astonished to see strands of black hair growing out from his bald head.
The hair continued to grow until finally, it cascaded down his back like a waterfall.
From a distance his hair resembled a black cape.
However, his long strands of hair were not soft, and they were flashing with chilling, cold light. Each strand of hair was incomparably sharp like a knife.
Kong Sheng, Li Qingchan and the other Chosen also cast glances over in his direction from afar. When they saw Chu Qing like this, their eyes lit up in surprise.
“It's been a long time since I’ve seen him in this form...”
Because Chu Qing cultivated the Ancient Barren Qi, it resulted in his hair falling off. But once he fully activated his Genesis Qi, he would transform into this state, which Li Qingchan and others called Chu Qing's battle form.
It was just that the number of times Chu Qing was forced into this form over the years could be counted on one hand.
Evidently, in the face of Jiang Taishen, Chu Qing no longer held back.
Countless people cast their blazing eyes in their direction.
This battle was a contest between the first and second Chosen on the Shengzhou Continent's Chosen List.
Chapter 646 Two Women
Under countless shocked gazes, Chu Qing was standing on the tip of a towering ancient tree. His long needle-like hair flowing down his back was gently swaying and flashing with a cold luster.
Chu Qing’s imposing manner had changed drastically. His lazy and carefree attitude was completely gone, and his eyes had turned incomparably sharp.
“Chu Qing, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen this form of yours,” Jiang Taisheng remarked.
Chu Qing grinned. “Jiang Taishen, you were lucky to win the last time, but this time you won’t be so lucky.”
“Is that right?” Jiang Taishen did not pay the slightest of heed.
But he also understood that amongst the younger generation of Cangxuan Heaven, only Chu Qing could pose a threat to him. Although Chu Qing had slightly fewer Genesis Qi stars, at this level, that amount of difference did not mean anything.
Even he would not slack off in today's battle.
Jiang Taishen took a deep breath. His palms rotated towards each other, and ash-grey Genesis Qi suddenly surged toward him. His palms then trembled abruptly, and the majestic ash-grey Genesis Qi transformed into countless ash-grey particles of Genesis Qi, emitting a chilling cold luster.
“Underworld powder!”
Jiang Taishen’s eyes flashed coldly. With the flick of his sleeve, countless particles whizzed out and shrouded Chu Qing.
The Genesis Qi light particles emitted a very strong corrosive force. Once they touched flesh, they could directly and continuously corrode the flesh and blood.
Watching the numerous particles of light rushing toward him, Chu Qing slightly raised his brow. His cape-like black hair then lifted up, and like a storm, countless thin strands of black hair shot out.
Chi!
In the sky, countless strands of hair collided with the particles of light, producing splutters.
Boom!
But these two attacks were only probes. The two’s eyes turned incomparably sharp and fierce, and with the stamp of their feet, they directly shattered the ancient trees below them.
Their bodies turned into streams of light and, finally, fiercely collided in the air under countless shocked gazes.
Boom!
An incomparably berserk Genesis Qi shock wave immediately wreaked havoc.
...
Rapidly speeding forward, Zhou Yuan felt the terrifying impact from behind. Jiang Taishen’s and Chu Qing's Genesis Qi foundations both exceeded his expectations.
“Is this the strength of the first and second Chosen on the Chosen List?” Zhou Yuan's face grew solemn. Even he had to admit at this time that it would be difficult for him to win against Jiang Taishen.
But he had the confidence that once he b
roke through to the ninth layer of the Alpha-Origin stage, he would not need to fear Jiang Taishen.
Zhou Yuan quickly calmed his emotions because he understood that his opponent was not him.
In front of them two shadows came into view.
“Jiang Taishen and Chu Qing are battling now.” Zhan Taiqing’s beautiful scarlet eyes flashed, and she glanced at the two figures closely following them. “Two mice are following us. If we don’t get rid of them, it will become difficult for us to obtain the jade disc peacefully.”
Jin Chanzi faintly smiled. “Then let’s get rid of them.”
He looked at Zhan Taiqing and asked, “Who are you going to choose?”
Zhan Taiqing licked her red lips, smiling. “I heard Li Qingchan say that Zhou Xiaoyao has some ability? I’d like to see if I will trample her, or if she will trample me? Hehe.”
Jin Chanzi pursed his lips. “You left Zhou Yuan for me, that’s so boring.”
“Hehe, you’re ranked lower, so of course you get the leftovers.”
Jin Chanzi helplessly sighed, but a ruthless look came to his face when he shifted his gaze onto Zhou Yuan. “Since there isn’t a choice, then it’s him. Fine, when I capture him I will first sever his hands and feet.”
He spoke very casually, evidently treating Zhou Yuan like a prey held in his fingertips.
“Keep him alive for me to play with. I told Li Qingchan that I wanted to extract all of the boy's blood.” Zhan Taiqing laughed.
Jin Chanzi nodded.
Seeing this, Zhan Taiqing’s beautiful body halted abruptly, and she landed on a huge boulder. Her little red mouth opened slightly, and a stream of blood light jetted out.
Pff!
The blood light was wrapped in intense blood qi. Within the blood light, a needle around an inch in size formed.
That blood needle was wrapped in blood poison. Once it penetrated the body, it would contaminate one’s blood, making one’s life worse than death.
The blood needle shot in Yaoyao’s direction.
Yaoyao naturally sensed the blood needle speeding over, yet there was not the slightest ripple on her beautiful face. Between her bright and pure eyebrows, there was a brightly flickering Spirit light. Invisible Spirit power then burst forth, transforming into a Spirit needle.
