Zhou Yuan’s hair was disheveled. Blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth as a bitter smile curved his lips. Was this the power of the Nascent Source stage?As expected, it's far stronger than the Divine Dwelling stage.
The Heavenly Sacred Hall master slowly turned around, indifferently studying Zhou Yuan as he remarked, “I am indeed surprised by your courage, but unfortunately, courage alone can’t change anything.”
He extended his finger again as frightening Genesis Qi gathered at its tip, causing the surrounding space to crack.
Roar!
However, an enraged roar suddenly thundered just as Heavenly Sacred Hall master was about to attack again and a giant golden silhouette appeared in the air above a split second later.
It was Tuntun in its combat form.
With a deafening roar, it swung its claws several times, causing space to quake violently.
The Heavenly Sacred Hall master narrowed his eyes as his other hand penetrated through space and grabbed at Tuntun’s throat. Tuntun retaliated with its claws, leaving small scratches on his hand.
“Huh?” The hall master of the Heavenly Sacred Hall gasped. He could sense that Tuntun was only at the Divine Dwelling stage but was able to leave a small scratch on his body. Although the scratch was insignificant, the fact that it could wound him was more than enough evidence of its extraordinary power.
“This will be a good gatekeeper.” The hall master of the Heavenly Sacred Hall smiled and shook his hand, sending Tuntun hurtling into the distance.
Om!
Space shuddered the moment he tossed Tuntun. A beam of golden light silently shot over, aimed directly at the space between the hall master’s brows.
He immediately detected the beam of golden light and narrowed his eyes. A look of bewilderment flickering in the depths of his eyes, because he could sense a mysterious energy fluctuation around the golden light.
For some reason, that fluctuation made even his heart palpitate.
Swoosh!
The beam of golden light shot over.
The hall master pinched the beam of light with two fingers and watched the golden light tremble between his fingertips. Upon closer inspection, he found that it resembled a drop of blood.
His face was devoid of expression as Genesis Qi gushed out from fingers, disintegrating the light beam into nothingness.
His hand moved to feel the space between his brows where there was a small hole had formed.
“Interesting.”
The hall master’s eyes darkened. He turned to the bottom of the stone steps where he saw a beautiful and slender girl coldly staring at him.
“There clearly weren't any Genesis Qi fluctuations, but it was quite dangerous...” His eyes had turned bitingly cold. The maiden before him was clearly not very powerful, but having cultivated for so many years, his intuition made him feel a trace of unknown fear in the depths of his heart.
“How strange....
“But never mind....since you are the most dangerous one here, let's get rid of you first.”
He shook his head. With a snap of his fingers, majestic Genesis Qi gathered into a blade of Genesis Qi that shook and cracked the surrounding space.
Om!
The Genesis Qi blade vibrated as it disappeared from the spot, reappearing right in front of Yaoyao.
The reflection of the light blade rapidly enlarged in Yaoyao’s eyes as she clenched her teeth. It was the first time she had encountered such a powerful enemy.
Given her current state, it would be really hard to cope with such an attack.
Do...I really have to take that final step?
Hesitation flickered in Yaoyao’s eyes.
However, just when the light blade was about to hit her, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her like a towering mountain.
It was Zhou Yuan!
Chi!
While Yaoyao stood stunned, the light blade pierced Zhou Yuan’s body. The blade plunged through his chest, causing blood to spurt everywhere.
The spray of blood stained her beautiful cheeks while she dazedly stood there.
Her lips trembled as she looked at Zhou Yuan, who was facing her while using his back to shield her from the light blade.
Zhou Yuan peered down at the light blade that punctured his chest, before he wiped the blood at the corner of his lips. He displayed a bitter smile as he gazed at the maiden before him, “I’m really sorry to drag you into this dangerous situation.
“I’ve always known that you are stronger than me...
“But I promised master Cang Yuan that if the day comes where I cannot stop others from hurting you, then at very least....I’ll make sure they’ll have to step over my dead body first.”
Yaoyao’s eyes seemed to redden a little.
Zhou Yuan endured the sharp pain from his chest as he continued in a hoarse voice, “You must think I’m too unsightly. I know…that I'm too weak.”
Yaoyao shook her head.
Roar!
Behind them, Tuntun let out an enraged roar, but Heavenly Sacred Hall master clapped his hands together, creating a gigantic Genesis Qi hand that swatted downwards to suppress Tuntun.
He peered down at Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao as he chuckled, “What a touching scene.
“Well, I shall be kind today and let both of you die together.”
He waved his robe and countless Genesis Qi light blades formed in front of him.
Om!
The blades pierced the void and headed straight for the two figures below.
Sensing the power of destruction behind him, Zhou Yuan gave a wry smile as he stretched out his trembling arms to shield Yaoyao. This was the only thing he could do.
Yaoyao caressed Zhou Yuan’s blood-stained face with her ice-cold hands as a glistening tear drop rolled down her cheeks from her eyelash.
“Zhou Yuan, you are a hero in my heart...”
She stood on her tiptoes and gently kissed him on the lips under his widening eyes.
The cold as jade sensation made Zhou Yuan’s heart quiver.
“Zhou Yuan....thank you for these past few years.”
A faint noise sounded at this moment.
Zhou Yuan was horrified as he watched the mysterious light rune between Yaoyao’s brows gradually begin to crack.
Her seal was being broken.
Chapter 730 Seal Broken
Om!
Countless Genesis Qi light blades whizzed through the air, tearing even fabric of space itself. The power contained in each light blade was more than sufficient to a Divine Dwelling expert like Zhou Yuan a thousand times over...
The Heavenly Sacred Hall master watched with a smile on his face. The boy and girl before him were going to be pierced by tens of thousands of blades. They would be turned to a bloody mush and even their bones won’t survive this onslaught.
“Since you two are so reluctant to part from each other, I’ll let your flesh and blood mix together in death.”
Under his smiling gaze, the terrifying Genesis Qi blades instantly surrounded the two figures, but it was also at this moment that a wave of energy suddenly pulsed outwards.
Time and space seemed to fall still as it passed.
The Genesis Qi light blades were also frozen in place like insects in amber, unable to move a single inch.
The smile on the Heavenly Sacred Hall master’s face turned a little rigid.
Because the Genesis Qi blades light had completely left his control. He could no longer move them no matter how hard he tried.
A puzzled look flashed in his eyes.
While the Heavenly Sacred Hall master was in a slightly frightened and confused state, the Genesis Qi blades slowly shattered into countless specks of light that rose into the air and merged back into the world.
Zhou Yuan had also sensed that the crisis had been averted, but he could not care at this point in time as he closely stared at the remarkably beautiful face in front of him.
The mysterious seal between Yaoyao’s br
ows was slowly crumbling.
Zhou Yuan could clearly feel an indescribable power gradually emerging from her body, a power that was majestic, noble, and ancient.
The Genesis Qi of the world buzzed and vibrated, excitedly swirling around Yaoyao as though worshipping her.
Yaoyao’s originally clear and ethereally beautiful eyes had become deep like the starry sky. In addition, Zhou Yuan could see strands of gold emerging on her head.
Gold spread like ink, turning all of her hair into golden strands that beautifully fluttered in the wind.
The noble aura grew more and more intense, as if her existence had transcended the world itself.
It was at this moment that their tightly glued lips slowly separated.
When he looked at Yaoyao again, Zhou Yuan felt small and insignificant, like a mortal looking up at an almighty deity.
He couldn’t help but be awed at the sight of her.
A tingling feeling rose in his heart.
“Yaoyao....”
Eyes that were deep as the starry sky were fixed onto Zhou Yuan. In their depths, the once familiar gaze gradually faded as she softly called out, “Zhou....Yuan..”
The hand that was caressing Zhou Yuan’s face also slowly retracted and as her fingertips streaked across his face, leaving a trace of coldness.
Her elegant body slowly rose upwards. She stood in the air, barefooted as her long golden hair danced around her.
Above the stone steps, the Heavenly Sacred Hall master scrunched his brows into a frown At the sight of Yaoyao’s transformation. For some reason, a feeling of unease was rising in his heart.
But a ruthless look soon flashed to his eyes.
Boom!
Mighty and powerful Genesis Qi erupted from his body, causing the surrounding space to quake violently. Under the terrifying torrent of Genesis Qi, even an expert of the Heavenly Sun stage would be rendered immobile.
However, cold indifference streaked across Yaoyao’s starry-sky-like eyes. She strode forward as space rippled and appeared directly in front of the Heavenly Sacred Hall master like a phantom.
“Heavenly Emperor Spirit Suppressing Seal!”
The Heavenly Sacred Hall master’s pupils shrank. In the next moment, boundless Genesis Qi gushed up from his head and turned into a spirit seal that contained infinite power. When the spirit seal emerged, the surrounding space began to crumble, unable to bear its weight.
Boom!
The spirit seal directly pressed downwards onto Yaoyao.
However, Yaoyao gently clenched her hand and punched at the huge spirit seal.
Dong!
The two collided with a crisp sound.
The hall master was horrified as he watched his full power spirit seal shatter, turning into specks of light that filled the sky.
To think that the power of Yaoyao’s casual little punch was so terrifying?!
The Heavenly Sacred Hall master felt as if his scalp was exploding. As he dazedly stared at the mysterious golden haired girl, a feeling of fear crawled out from the depths of his heart.
“You, who are you?” He trembled as he uttered these words.
Swoosh!
His voice faded and his figure suddenly turned illusory. Space rippled and he unexpectedly disappeared from the spot. He was running away!
Yaoyao’s punch had scared him witless.
However, not even the slightest ripple of emotion was visible on Yaoyao’s remarkably beautiful face. She made a grasping motion in the air and space seemed tear.
The little hand stretched out and grabbed a figure. It was the hall master of the Heavenly Sacred Hall.
The hall master’s face was deathly pale and grim. He was so frightened at this moment that his soul had almost scattered. He never imagined that someone who should have been as insignificant as an ant in his eyes would possess such terrifying strength.
Moreover, he had clearly torn space to flee, so how had she pulled him back?
What kind of strength did she possess?!
Yaoyao starry-sky-like eyes stared at him as she whispered in a disjointed manner, “Before...you...you wanted to kill us?”
His teeth were chattering and he no longer exuded the mighty aura from before.
“Why, why...do you have to force me?”
A shred of anger was rising in Yaoyao’s voice.
“I...” The hall master wept without tears. He truly regretted his actions. If he had known that this girl was such a terrifying being, how would he have dared to force her?
He could sense a terrifying power deeply slumbering within her body.
It was his previous actions that had forced that power to awaken.
And now it was time for him to eat the bitter fruit of his actions.
However, he also wasn’t an ordinary person. He gradually composed his mind and understood that he was in a desperate situation. A fierce look flashed to his eyes and he clenched his teeth.
Boom!
His body immediately self-destructed.
An indescribable shockwave of terror erupted, sweeping towards Yaoyao as space shattered and collapsed.
However, the force of that terrifying self-explosion immediately turned gentle and docile when it touched Yaoyao’s body, transforming into a gentle breeze that lifted her long golden hair.
Yaoyao’s face was devoid of expression as she clenched her hand. In the next moment, a ball of light emerged in her palm. Within that ball was the struggling silhouette of a person.
That face was identical to that of the hall master of the Heavenly Sacred Hall.
It was the Nascent Source of the hall master!
As long as the Nascent Source escaped, he would quickly be able to repair his body. Evidently, he had deliberately self-destructed his body earlier to flee.
But he had clearly underestimated Yaoyao’s power.
An expression of terror was visible on the hall master’s Nascent Source as he shrieked, “You, you’re not human!”
Even the explosion of his body was unable to touch Yaoyao in the slightest. Such power had far exceeded his imagination.
“Have mercy!
“Please spare me! I was wrong! I shouldn't have tried to kill you!
“If you kill me, palace master won’t let you off!”
With his Nascent Source in Yaoyao’s hand, the hall master was now truly afraid. He no longer acted high and mighty like before and desperately begged for mercy. Because he knew that he was really finished if his Nascent Source were destroyed.
However, Yaoyao’s eyes remained devoid of emotion in the face of his pleas.
Her beautiful fair hand gently closed.
Space twisted.
Bang!
In the next moment, his Nascent Source was crushed.
Specks of light exploded as a shrill and a tragic cry filled the air.
The destruction of the hall master’s Nascent Source naturally attracted the attention of multiple experts. Even palace master Sheng Yuan and sect master Qing Yang cast their eyes towards the mysterious domain.
They were astonished to see Yaoyao standing in the air amidst countless specks of light as her long golden hair fluttered around her.
In that moment, she truly resembled a divine being that has descended onto the mortal world.
Chapter 731 Yaoyao’s Power
Outside of the mysterious domain.
All the earth shaking battles halted at the same time as everyone cast their gazes towards the mysterious domain. Each and every one was filled with shock and disbelief.
No one had expected such a turn of events...
The Heavenly Sacred Hall master, known to be the strongest of the ten hall masters of the Sacred Palace, just had his Nascent Source destroyed...
Everyone was stunned by this scene. They felt as if it was a dream and were unable to believe their eyes.
“Sect master Qing Yang, isn’t she a disciple of your Cangxuan Sect? How did she...” The Heavenly Sword Sovereign and venerable lord Gu Jing
could not help but ask as they turned to sect master Qing Yang with shocked expressions.
Sect master Qing Yang’s face twitched a little. He was likewise perplexed by the scene before them. With a bitter smile, he said, “She is indeed a disciple of the our Cangxuan Sect...”
Sect master Qing Yang had already realized Yaoyao was no ordinary person the first time he saw her. He knew that she was concealing a mysterious power and wanted to investigate further but ultimately gave up. He felt that Yaoyao was still a part of the Cangxuan Sect as long as she didn’t do anything that would harm the sect.
This was also the main reason why sect master Qing Yang had permitted her to not choose any of the peaks.
However, it was only today that sect master Qing Yang finally understood that he had grossly underestimated Yaoyao.
The power from Yaoyao’s body had most likely exceeded the Law Domain stage.
“Your Cangxuan Sect has extraordinary foundations.” The Heavenly Sword Sovereign and venerable lord Gu Jing sighed, seemingly under the impression that Yaoyao was a trump card that sect master Qing Yang and the others had kept hidden.
With such a powerful expert on their side, the Cangxuan Sect’s situation would become much better. After all, following the previous exchanges, they found that even if palace master Sheng Yuan was only at the false Saint stage, his strength had already exceeded even their combined might.
Sect master Qing Yang could only give an awkward smile as he grumbled inside. He felt that Yaoyao’s state wasn’t right and did not know whether she would help them.
After all, Yaoyao had never truly acknowledged anyone in the Cangxuan Sect, and if it weren’t for Zhou Yuan, she would have most likely left long ago.
But in any case, the eruption of Yaoyao’s power had boosted the morale on their side.
On the other hand, the Sacred Palace and Heavenly Ghost Sect now seemed hesitant.
Even palace master Sheng Yuan was staring at the mysterious girl in the mysterious domain with a strange expression. The power emitted by her body had indeed made him feel somewhat fearful.
“Who is she? I have never heard of someone with such strength in the Cangxuan Sect!”
Let alone the Cangxaun Sect, it was impossible for an expert of this level to exist even in the entire Cangxuan Heaven!
