The figure, clad in a silver streamlined armour that fully covered his body, appeared incredibly mysterious, and the armour was engraved with many ancient patterns.
The surface of the silver armour was contaminated with green toxic liquid, but as the silvery light surged, the toxic liquid was gradually dissolved.
Hua!
Earth-shaking exclamations could be heard beyond the mountain.
Countless faces were filled with shock. Nobody thought that Zhou Yuan could withstand the poison burial technique!
Moreover, what was the silver armour? Was it a defense Genesis weapon? But why did it give off a very strange feeling?
Jin Chanzi’s face grew darker and darker, and his eyes were filled with fury. He did not expect his killing move to fail to kill Zhou Yuan.
This guy, was he really invincible?
Jin Chanzi intently stared at the figure clad in silver armour. Ever since the appearance of the silver armour, Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi seemed to have stopped fluctuating, and even Jin Chanzi could no longer detect it.
It made Jin Chanzi feel a little uneasy, and the mysterious silver armour made him feel danger.
“Is this your last trump card? A turtle shell?” Jin Chanzi remarked in a sinister voice.
But Zhou Yuan, who was covered in silver armour, simply snapped open his eyes and paid no attention to Jin Chanzi. He lowered his head and studied the silver armour.
The silver armour was naturally the Silver Shadow, the last trump card he kept hidden.
This wasn’t armour but a different kind of war puppet.
Adding to this, it possessed the ability to grow.
When Zhou Yuan just got the Silver Shadow, it only possessed strength at the initial level of the Alpha-Origin stage. But now, after two years of refinement, Zhou Yuan could feel that the power of the Silver Shadow was comparable to the ninth layer of the Alpha-Origin stage.
This was Zhou Yuan’s last trump card. Even if he encountered many difficulties and problems in the Cangxuan Sect, he still tried to avoid using the Silver Shadow so as to not expose it. But given the present situation, he had no other choice.
Jin Chanzi was incredibly strong. Zhou Yuan estimated that amongst the ten great Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect, only Chu Qing would have the confidence to beat him. Kong Sheng’s and Li Qingchan’s strengths were most likely worse than his.
Facing an opponent of this level, if Zhou Yuan was still thinking of keeping his final trump card a secret, then he really was asking for death.
Hu.
He drew a deep breath, his eyes gradually growing fiercer, and then fixed a piercing stare at Jin Chanzi. An intense killing intent erupted all of a sudden.
Now that the last trump card was revealed, the battle should also end soon.
Shua!
He took a step forward, and his body reappeared in midair and burst forth with a storm of incomparably majestic Genesis Qi.
In his heart, golden blood was vibrating incessantly. Countless wisps of golden blood attached to the flesh and released a berserk power.
The Silver Shadow outside his body was also blooming with a silvery light. Monstrous Genesis Qi swept out, engulfing the sky, and an oppressive force shrouded the area.
The shadow of the Saint Spirit also re-emerged, its light wings stretching out behind Zhou Yuan.
At this moment, Zhou Yuan had almost activated all his power. The air he was standing in was also rapidly quaking, emitting numerous air ripples.
All around, countless shocked gazes converged in his direction.
Even Chu Qing and Jiang Taishen froze for a moment.
And Jin Chanzi looked even more unsightly than before. He stared fixedly at the figure in midair. Facing the present Zhou Yuan, even he had a trace of fear flickering in the depths of his eyes.
“Jin Chanzi, this fight is over!” Zhou Yuan’s cold voice reverberated across the sky.
Boom!
His figure swooped down, and a deafening boom rang out. The air distorted.
Chapter 654 Killed
Rumble!
Terrifying forces surged as Zhou Yuan’s figure swooped down as if he carried a destructive power. The forces distorted the air, and his aura reached a level higher than ever before.
His Genesis Qi, physical strength, Earth Saint Rune, Omega Saint Spirit Art, Silver Shadow...all kinds of power were strengthening his body at the same time!
As he faced Zhou Yuan in this state, Jin Chanzi’s countenance abruptly changed. A look of shocked horror appeared in his eyes. He couldn’t believe that Zhou Yuan could release such terrifying power.
The majestic power descending from the sky suppressed him to such an extent that he could hardly budge an inch. His bones were creaking as if Mount Tai was crushing him.
“Roar!”
But Jin Chanzi was not an ordinary person. He knew that if he failed to withstand Zhou Yuan’s full-strength attack, he would inevitably be killed on the spot.
But if he successfully countered, Zhou Yuan’s life would be in his hands.
This was a clash of life and death.
Jin Chanzi let out a deafening roar. More than 80,000 Genesis Qi stars in his Qi Dwelling erupted with dazzling rays of light, as if all the Genesis Qi contained inside him were released without restraint.
He evidently knew that he must fight with his life at this moment!
He had always looked down on Zhou Yuan, and now that Zhou Yuan was pushing him to such a state and forcing him to fight with everything he had, anger and killing intent filled Jin Chanzi’s heart. He couldn’t wait to take Zhou Yuan’s last attack and brutally kill the bastard!
“You, a little chief disciple dares to act like this in front of me. You really do not know the immensity of the heavens and the earth!” He lifted his head, eyes viciously fixed on the majestic shadow diving down fast.
“Gu!”
A shrill, ear-piercing voice once again sounded from Jin Chanzi’s body. The next moment, everybody could see that frantic and eerie dark green Genesis Qi was frantically accumulating around Jin Chanzi’s body.
Vaguely, the Genesis Qi seemed to have formed a golden toad the size of a hill.
That toad was ugly and fierce, its body completely covered with poisonous pus. A torrent of fiendish aura was emitted from it. Even the countless people beyond the mountain could distinctly feel it.
“That’s...the Heavenly Demon Toad?!” Someone familiar with Genesis Beasts was able to recognise it at a glance. “It’s comparable to a Genesis Beast at the Heavenly Sun Stage!”
“It is said that the blood in Jin Chanzi’s body has long been replaced with the blood of the Heavenly Demon Toad. He has completely invoked the power of the blood and has thus triggered the shadow of the Heavenly Demon Toad.
“Although this is only a shadow triggered by the blood of the Heavenly Demon Toad, it still possesses its abilities.”
Many people were inwardly dumbstruck. The Heavenly Demon Toad was after all a grade-six Genesis Beast with strength comparable to the Heavenly Sun stage. And what kind of expert was of the Heavenly Sun stage? In the Shengzhou Continent, he could establish his own sect or faction, and even within the six great sects he would be an elder-level expert.
That wasn’t a level that a disciple of the Alpha-Origin stage could reach.
It was evident that Jin Chanzi was fighting with his life.
Countless people nervously looked at the top of the seventh peak. They all understood that after such a long battle, the winner would be decided at this moment.
Even Chu Qing and Jiang Taishen temporarily paused their battle. They shifted their gazes over to the top of the peak because they all knew that the outcome of the battle on the peak was extremely important to what would happen next.
Chu Qing’s expression was solemn, his long black hair fluttering behind him. He swept a glance over Jiang Taishen, whose calm face had turned icy cold.
Evidently, it was beyond his expectation that Jin Chanzi was forced
to such a step.
“Jiang Taishen, I’ve told you to not look down on Zhou Yuan.” Chu Qing grinned.
Jiang Taishen remained expressionless and simply swept a glance over at Chu Qing. “Zhou Yuan is asking for death. To think he forced Jin Chanzi to use the power of the Heavenly Demon Toad.”
“That’s not necessarily the case.” Chu Qing smiled, lifted his head and continued to watch the top of the peak.
.....
“Gu!”
Outside of Jin Chanzi’s body, the shadow of the Heavenly Demon Toad had taken shape. It immediately released a deafening sound that caused the qi around to tremble.
The shadow of the Heavenly Demon Toad was incredibly powerful, and it completely shrouded Jin Chanzi. It was clear that Jin Chanzi intended to forcibly take Zhou Yuan’s final attack.
“Little trash, after I take your attack, I’m going to make you beg for mercy!” Jin Chanzi’s face contorted into a sinister grin. He glowered at the shadow that was diving down fast.
Zhou Yuan, swooping down with majestic force, was naturally aware of Jin Chanzi’s plan. With the silver armour covering his body, nobody could see what kind of expression he had at that moment.
But his eyes were flickering with a chilling coldness.
“You think...you still have a chance?”
A low voice rang in his heart.
The next moment, Zhou Yuan’s eyes turned piercing cold. The speed of his figure skyrocketed and enlarged, and finally, under countless nervous gazes, he whizzed down and collided with the Heavenly Demon Toad shadow.
Rumble!
During the moment of the collision, indescribably violent shock waves of Genesis Qi raged out, and layers of incomparably solid ground were constantly being lifted up from the giant peak.
Pieces of the forest were destroyed one after another, turning into trampled flat ground.
The whole peak seemed to have been flattened.
The terrifying storm of Genesis Qi wreaked havoc for dozens of seconds before it gradually calmed.
Almost all eyes between the heavens and the earth were cast towards the source of the collision. They knew that the outcome of the battle between Zhou Yuan and Jin Chanzi would be determined at this moment.
Whoever won would affect the battle between the Sacred Palace and the Cangxuan Sect.
While countless people waited with bated breath, the smoke and dust around the peak gradually dissipated. What came into view first was the chaotic scene of desolation; half the peak had almost collapsed.
There was not a single complete and intact rock remaining. The impact had crumbled all to powder...
At the center of the chaos, two figures stood with their backs facing each other.
Countless people held their breath. Who won in the end?
In that long silence and deathly stillness, the figure clothed in silver armour on the top of the peak slightly quivered. The next moment the silver armour began to melt into a liquid state and retracted back into Zhou Yuan’s body.
Pff.
A jet of blood spewed out from Zhou Yuan’s mouth. His body squirmed a little, but he did not fall down in the end. Even if he had the protection of the silver armour, it still couldn’t neutralise the collision’s impact.
He wiped the bloodstain on the corner of his mouth. At this moment, in a place not far from him was the mysterious jade disc.
He gazed at the jade disc and a moment later said indifferently, “Jin Chanzi, our feud ends here.”
Jin Chanzi slightly opened his mouth. A dazed look was in his golden eyes, but even more than that, there was disbelief. With difficulty he uttered in a hoarse voice, “How, how is this possible?”
“Nothing is impossible.” Zhou Yuan smiled.
Jin Chanzi clenched his teeth, “My Sacred Palace will one day destroy your Cangxuan Sect. At that time, Cangxuan Heaven will belong to my Sacred Palace!”
“But whether or not that day will come, you, Jin Chanzi, won’t be able to see it,” Zhou Yuan remarked indifferently.
He waved his robe gently, and a gust of wind blasted toward Jin Chanzi.
Kacha!
As the wind whizzed past, tiny blood marks were left on Jin Chanzi’s body. The blood marks soon spread all over his body and, following a loud rumble, finally burst open.
Blood splattered in all directions.
It was deathly silent around the mountain.
Countless people were in a state of shocked disbelief. Jin Chanzi’s body had exploded. Evidently he was unable to withstand Zhou Yuan’s fatal attack.
The Sacred Palace’s Jin Chanzi, the powerful person ranked fifth on the Chosen List, had fallen like that?
Countless people fell into a trance, unable to accept the result.
But soon, their gazes turned to the young figure still standing on the peak. Their expressions grew complex because they knew that once this matter was known, it would certainly shake Cangxuan Heaven.
The name of Zhou Yuan would be known to everyone.
His accomplishment was simply too astonishing.
Chief disciple Zhou Yuan of the Cangxuan Sect had killed Chosen Jin Chanzi of the Sacred Palace on the Mythic Utopia’s seventh peak.
Chapter 655 Reversal
It was completely silent throughout the heavens and the earth. Only the wind was whistling.
Countless people were still in a shocked state, unable to recover for a long, long time. After all, this result wasn’t one that anybody had ever imagined.
Of the three people sent out from the Cangxuan Sect, everyone thought that Zhou Yuan was the weakest. Therefore, if there was a problem, it most likely would be from Zhou Yuan’s side.
After all, Jin Chanzi was one of the three great Chosen from the Sacred Palace. His strength was terrifyingly powerful, while Zhou Yuan was just at the eighth level of the Alpha-Origin stage. The gap between the two was too great.
But who would have thought that Zhou Yuan would be the first to obtain a victory amongst the three.
In the direction of the Sacred Palace, all disciples were ashen faced and filled with shock and disbelief.
And compared with that side, the Cangxuan Sect’s side was silent for a long while before deafening cheers broke out. Many disciples’ faces were flushed with excitement. Over the years, the grudges that had developed between the Sacred Palace and the Cagxuan Sect were not small, but the Sacred Palace dominated every time and the Cangxuan Sect was left feeling oppressed. Who would have thought that their Cangxuan Sect would be able to reverse the situation in the Mythic Utopia and hold their heads high once again?
“Junior brother Zhou Yuan is really too impressive.”
Tang Muxin’s beautiful face flushed red, and she was unable to hide her excitement. “After this battle, junior brother Zhou Yuan will be able to become a new Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect. His ranking will most likely be just after senior brother Chu Qing.”
The other chief disciples all looked at each other with shock.
Baili Che’s face stiffened, but then he finally relaxed. Zhou Yuan was becoming more and more powerful. He could simply crush the entire Cangxuan Sect apart from Chu Qing. Even Kong Sheng wouldn’t be able to suppress him.
As a result, it was unlikely that their Sword Cometh Peak would be able to get back at him.
In the distance, Zuoqiu Qingyu, Luluo, Li Chunjun, Ning Zhan and other people were also silently gazing at the seventh peak, taking in the results of the battle.
In the face of Zhou Yuan’s terrifying accomplishment, even they, who were very close with Zhou Yuan, were greatly shocked.
They were all already incredibly talented. Despite having only been in the Shengzhou Continent for less than two years, they had already stood out amongst the numerous disciples and had gradually become elites of their sect.
But when this kind of progress was compared to Zhou Yuan’s, there was still a great distance between them.
In less than two years, Zhou Yuan already possessed the power to kill
a Chosen. Moreover, that was not an ordinary Chosen but a Chosen ranked fifth on the Chosen List of the Shengzhou Continent!
Almost 60% of the Chosen List of the Shengzhou Continent was occupied by young geniuses from Cangxuan Heaven.
Did Zhou Yuan’s achievement signify that he had reached the top amongst his peers?
Thinking of this, they were somewhat envious. The youngster who grew up with them in the little Cangmang Continent had, in just less than two years of time, made a name for himself.
.....
While countless people outside the mountain were stunned by the result of the battle on the seventh peak, Jiang Taishen’s face also gradually grew icy cold on the mountainside.
“Jiang Taishen, I said before, if you look down on Zhou Yuan, you will suffer.” Chu Qing withdrew his gaze from the peak. He suppressed his astonishment and then smiled at Jiang Taishen.
Jiang Taishen’s face was devoid of expression, and only his body shook slightly.
Chu Qing narrowed his eyes. His figure appeared in midair like a ghost, and his long hair like needles came roaring out, aiming for some place in the air.
Buzz!
A figure flashed out from where the air was vibrating. It was Jiang Taishen.
“Jiang Taishen, your opponent is me.” Chu Qing smiled.
Evidently Jiang Taishen was unable to relax after seeing the battle’s result: that Zhou Yuan had killed Jin Chanzi.
There was a dangerous aura accumulating in Jiang Taishen’s eyes. “Chu Qing, do not back me into a corner. You won’t fare well from doing that!”
His white hair fluttered in the air, making him look somewhat sinister at this moment.
Chu Qing gave a faint smile and did not utter a word. He obviously couldn’t let Jiang Taishen rush over there to stop Zhou Yuan.
Jiang Taishen’s eyes were filled with intense killing intent. Raging Genesis Qi erupted from his body. Gradually, there seemed to be a huge white shadow forming behind his body. A terrifying pressure shrouded the area.
Chu Qing’s pupils shrank.
Jiang Taishen’s killing intent was incredibly strong.
Since that was the case...
