But something that was impossible had appeared right before their eyes. For a period of time, even palace master Sheng Yuan dared not act recklessly.
Thus, the earth shaking battle in the outside world came to an awkward halt.
In the mysterious domain.
The bare-footed Yaoyao stood in the air. Her dazzling golden hair flowed down her back to her waist and her ethereal, beautiful eyes were as deep and ancient as the starry sky.
However, she also exuded a cold and detached feeling.
At the bottom of the stone steps, Zhou Yuan wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth. The huge scar on his chest was rapidly healing through the life energy emitted by the Taiyi Green Wood Mark in his body.
He stared at Yaoyao as he lowered his voice and tried to show a calm smile, “Yaoyao, it's all right now, can you-----change back first?”
Although Yaoyao was incredibly powerful now,she made Zhou Yuan feel very uneasy.
Moreover, when master Cang Yuan left, he had repeatedly reminded him to not let Yaoyao break the seal. The serious look on master Cang Yuan’s face back then told him that it was an extremely serious manner.
Hearing Zhou Yuan’s voice, Yaoyao’s eyes seemed to flicker as though struggling, but that soon gradually dissipated.
As she gently shook her head, a faint voice could be heard, “Zhou, Zhou Yuan... I'll help you eliminate these troubles.”
She looked deeply at Zhou Yuan and then suddenly twisted around, transforming into a ray of golden light that pierced through the mysterious domain and headed for the outside world.
“Yaoyao! Don’t!” shouted Zhou Yuan in a worried voice.
But how could he stop Yaoyao? He staggered a few steps forward before collapsing onto his knees due to the pain from his chest.
“Damnit!”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes turned crimson-red as he repeatedly punched the ground to vent his anger and frustration.
He knew that if it wasn’t to protect him, Yaoyao wouldn’t have broken the seal. He shouldn’t have come here.
He didn’t know what was going to happen now that she had broken the seal, but it definitely wouldn’t be anything good!
Wu!
A small beast came to Zhou Yuan’s side and patted him with its paw. It was Tuntun.
It made a whining sound as if trying to comfort Zhou Yuan.
But when it turned in the direction of where Yaoyao left, a worried look flickered in its eyes.
Zhou Yuan looked at Tuntun, clenching his teeth so hard that his mouth began to bleed again. “I blame myself for being too weak.”
If he were strong enough, why would he need Yaoyao to save him at that critical moment?
Zhou Yuan hated himself for being so weak. The tiny bit of pride he felt after reaching the Divine Dwelling stage was now completely torn apart by the cruel reality.
Yaoyao had taken care of him all these years, but he had failed to protect her, and even caused her to break the seal!
If he were to meet master Cang Yuan again, what explanation could he possibly give?!
Zhou Yuan never longed for tremendous strength like he did now.
....
Yaoayao’s figure slowly rose from the mysterious domain and streaked through the thunderbolt pool.
In the thunderbolt pool, the hall master of the Blood Sacred Hall and peak master Ling Jun were just backing away from yet another clash.
Their eyes, wide with shock, converged onto Yaoyao.
Peak master Ling Jung had seen Yaoyao many times before, but he never imagined that this remarkably beautiful girl would be hiding such terrifying power.
Yaoyao swept a glance at peak master Ling Jung before turning towards the hall master of the Blood Sacred Hall, as if pondering if he was trouble.
Before she could finish her analysis, however, the hall master fled without saying a word.
The hall master of the Heavenly Sacred Hall didn’t even have the chance to escape from Yaoyao, how could he have the courage to fight her?
Yaoyao did not give chase, evidently not seeing him as a threat. Her figure continued to rise, her long golden hair appearing unusually dazzling.
Countless eyes gathered on her body with graveness and shock.
Everyone knew that the current circumstances were bound to change dramatically once again because of Yaoyao’s choice.
With a solemn look on his face, palace master Sheng Yuan said to Yaoyao, “Girl, my Sacred Palace doesn’t have a hostile relationship with you...if you came here because of Zhou Yuan, I give you my word that we can put all those previous matters behind us.”
All the top experts whispered to one another when they heard this. Palace master Sheng Yuan had always acted overbearing. As such, none of them expected to see him adopt such a submissive posture. It was obvious how much threat Yaoyao was to him.
Yaoyao stood in the air while her long golden hair fluttered in the breeze, radiating a graceful aura. Her starry-sky-like eyes were fixed on palace master Sheng Yuan and an ethereal voice sounded a moment later.
“Only when palace master Sheng Yuan dies....
“Will there no longer be trouble.”
Chapter 732 Terrifying Genesis Rune Mastery
Palace master Sheng Yuan’s face gradually turned ice-cold as Yaoyao’s voice rang out across the area while Sect master Qing Yang, the Heavenly Sword Sovereign and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
The faces of the other top experts twitched. The Sacred Palace had been occupying the upper hand earlier, who could have expected the situation to change once again following the mysterious girl’s appearance.
Although they didn’t know where she came from or understand why she possessed such terrifying power, it didn’t stop them from realising that palace master Sheng Yuan had encountered a formidable enemy.
Palace master Sheng Yuan coldly remarked, “It seems that you are bent on going against my Sacred Palace.”
Although he was somewhat fearful of Yaoyao, it was impossible for him to yield.
However, Yaoyao didn’t waste any time responding to his threats. With the flick of her sleeve, a mighty stream of flowing light whizzed out like a starry river.
Each speck of light in the starry river was formed from a Genesis Rune. The number of Genesis Runes that had been gathered together was enough to make numerous people speechless.
Boom!
In the next instant, the surrounding space collapsed as the Genesis Rune river whizzed forth, roaring towards palace master Sheng Yuan with mighty power.
Palace master Sheng Yuan’s eyelids trembled at this scene. It was the first time he had seen someone able to utilize Genesis Runes in such a way.
Feeling the power contained in the Genesis Rune starry river, palace master Sheng Yuan did not dare to be negligent. He drew a deep breath and a torrent of Genesis Qi spewed from his mouth a split second later.
The torrent of Genesis Qi surged out, growing to a size of over ten thousand feet in a few seconds as it filled the sky.
A tremendous shadow hung over the earth. If that destructive force were to fall, the entire Blackwater would be destroyed in an instant.
The torrent of Genesis Qi that palace master Sheng Yuan spewed out contained countless diamond-like stones. This was caused by extremely condensed Genesis Qi. Even experts of the Law Domain stage would be destroyed if they fell into the torrent.
Boom!
Under countless astonished gazes, the Genesis Rune starry river pierced through the air and directly collided with the torrent of Genesis Qi.
At the moment of impact, even the sky seemed to collapse.
Unimaginable shockwaves raged as the other experts swiftly withdrew. Even sect master Qing Yang and other Law Domain experts did not dare to linger too close to the epicenter of the collision.
Two mighty forces annihilated one another and ultimately dissipated.
In the sky, palace master Sheng Yuan’s face was frosty. Ever since he revealed the strength of the
false Saint stage, even sect master Qing Yang and the others had been completely suppressed by him.
But now, his advantage felt nonexistent in the face of Yaoyao.
“Why must you force me?” palace master Sheng Yuan suppressed his anger to ask. “You really think I am afraid of you?!”
Yaoyao’s beautiful face grew increasingly indifferent. She folded her fair hands together, and in the next moment, innumerable specks of golden light emerged from her body and gathered above her.
The specks of golden light spread out, forming an enormous ancient Genesis Rune.
The Genesis Rune blotted out the sky, giving off a boundless and endless aura.
An extremely terrifying power pulsed from it
When the gigantic Genesis Rune formed, Yaoyao folded her hands into another hand seal. Countless onlookers watched in astonishment as the Genesis Rune began to squirm and change.
Roar!
Eventually, the Genesis Rune condensed into a mysterious monster that lifted its head and roared at the heavens.
The monster was incomparably huge and was covered in gold scales that flashed continuously. Every scale was engraved with ancient Genesis Runes. It was a monster created from Genesis Runes!
Moreover, its appearance was very familiar. It was Tuntun’s combat form.
However, the ‘Tuntun’ that Yaoyao had created from Genesis Runes was many times more powerful than the present Tuntun.
Countless people were struckdumb at the sight of such her Genesis Rune mastery.
Old man Bai Mei murmured admiringly, “What level of mastery is needed to create such dazzling Genesis Runes.”
Roar!
Genesis Rune Tuntun roared, the sound waves wrecking havoc like a storm, distorting the air as it passed.
Ch!
In the next moment, the Genesis Rune Tuntun teleported, appearing in front of palace master Sheng Yuan. Its giant claws swung with destructive force. As the claw ripped through the air, space collapsed, creating giant spatial vortexes.
Anything that entered these vortexes would be instantly obliterated from existence.
A grave expression filled palace master Sheng Yuan’s face as a silver Law Domain light barrier enveloped his body.
Boom!
Sharp claws slammed into the Law Domain, causing it to violently tremble. Ripples rapidly blossomed on it before exploding with even greater force.
Palace master Sheng Yuan’s body was blasted away as if struck by a heavy blow.
He stumbled backwards, shattering the space below his feet with each step.
Roar!
Seeing the attack was successful, Genesis Rune Tuntun’s tremendous body transformed into countless shadows with a roar. A torrential onslaught bombarded palace master Sheng Yuan’s Law Domain barrier.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Thunderous noises rang endlessly.
Countless people stared in horror at patches of space crumbled one after another. They could clearly feel the frightening power of each terrifying blow.
Moreover, what made their scalps turn numb was that under the frenzied attack of the Genesis Rune beast, palace master Sheng Yuan was being rapidly beaten back like a sandbag.
The light barrier around his body violently trembled.
It must be noted that even the joint efforts of sect master Qing Yang and the others had been incapable of forcing palace master Sheng Yuan into such a miserable position.
Roar!
Dazzling golden light burst out from the sharp claws of the Genesis Rune monster, condensing into a stream of golden liquid that flowed between its claws. Only top experts would notice that the golden liquid was made up of numerous Genesis Runes.
Ch!
The Genesis Rune monster continued to roar as its claws slashed the silver Law Domain barrier.
Screech!
A sharp ear piercing noise sounded.
Countless onlookers watched in astonishment as the Genesis Rune monster's claws punctured the light barrier and pierced palace master Sheng Yuan’s body.
Bang!
Palace master Sheng Yuan’s body instantly shattered.
However, space rippled some distance away as a figure slowly walked out. It was palace master Sheng Yuan with a rather stormy expression.
It was not so easy to eliminate a false Saint expert.
However, anyone could tell that palace master Sheng Yuan had been at a disadvantage during the previous exchange.
Yaoyao had displayed her terrifying power through a gigantic beast formed from Genesis Runes.
The world fell silent, but everyone could feel an oppressive atmosphere as though a storm was about to descend.
Palace master Sheng Yuan stared at Yaoyao. Without saying a word, he slowly opened his mouth and a ray of black and white light emerged from within.
The ray of black and white light fell into his hands.
It was a mottled ancient scroll.
When that object appeared, the world gradually darkened.
The expressions of sect master Qing Yang and others’ changed as they murmured to themselves.
“That’s---”
“The ultimate treasure of the Sacred Palace! The Life Executioner Painting!”
Chapter 733 Life Executioner Painting
A mottled black and white scroll appeared in palace master Sheng Yuan’s hand. Its appearance made the entire world change color and even the Genesis Qi of the land began to bubble volatilely.
Fear flashed in the eyes of the experts who recognised the object in palace master Sheng Yuan’s hand.
Because they knew that it was a famous treasure of the Sacred Palace.
The Life Executioner Painting!
The Life Executioner Painting had played a huge role in patriarch Cang Xuan’s death. This alone was already enough to attest what a powerful weapon it was.
It was the greatest treasure of the Sacred Palace and palace master Sheng Yuan would not bring it out unless absolutely necessary. From this, it was clear how much he feared Yaoyao.
Roar!
The Genesis Rune Tuntun unleashed a deafening roar. Its huge body blasted space apart as it pounced towards palace master Sheng Yuan like a bolt of thunder.
Palace master Sheng Yuan’s expression remained fierce, not moving a single inch from the spot. He slowly unfolded the Life Executioner Painting, revealing an incredibly mysterious black and white light.
Om!
The Life Executioner Painting shook, sending a beam of black and white shooting into the sky.
Black and white light intertwined like yin and yang, exuding unfathomable power.
Swoosh!
The black and white light beam directly struck Genesis Rune Tuntun. As the black and white light spread, the Genesis Runes on the giant beast rapidly melted away.
The Genesis Rune Tuntun completely melted away in mere seconds.
Gasps of astonishment rang out across the area. They had previously witnessed the power of the Genesis Rune beast that had overwhelmed even palace master Sheng Yuan earlier.
They never expected it to be so one-sidedly destroyed the moment palace master Sheng Yuan summoned the Life Executioner Painting.
The power of a Saint treasure was clear for all to see.
Worried looks emerged in the eyes of sect master Qing Yang and others.
“I admit that you have amazing mastery over Genesis Runes.” remarked palace master Sheng Yuan as he clasped the ancient Life Executioner Painting while coldly staring at Yaoyao.
“But even Cangxuan lost back then, what can you do?”
The Life Executioner Painting in palace master Sheng Yuan’s hand suddenly shot out and rapidly grew to a height of tens of thousands of feet. As the numerous experts cast their eyes over, they felt the Nascent Source within their bodies cry out tragically as if about to dissipate. They swiftly retracted their gazes and circulated their Genesis Qi to withstand the strange power.
“Life Executioner Painting, Yin and Yang boundary!”
/>
The Life Executioner Painting rapidly spun high up in the sky. In that moment, the entire world seemed to have been turned upside down. Black and white light flowed constantly, as though the universe was reversed.
Yaoyao scanned her surroundings, taking in the changes. Black and white filled her field of vision.
It was as though she was in another world.
In the outside world.
The eyes of countless onlookers were fixed on the huge black-and-white scroll in the sky, they had discovered an extra figure in the painting.
It was Yaoyao!
She was trapped in the Life Executioner Painting.
The expressions of sect master Qing Yang and the others’ abruptly changed. Any living being that fell into clutches of the Life Executioner Painting would soon be eliminated by Yin and Yang qi.
“Hurry and help her!”
Sect master Qing Yang swiftly arrived at a decision.
If palace master Sheng Yuan managed to eliminate Yaoyao, it would be greatly disadvantageous to them.
The Heavenly Sword Sovereign and venerable lord Gu Jing nodded in agreement. A split second later, the three launched a joint attack.
However, palace master Sheng Yuan simply smiled coldly in response. He formed a seal with one hand and three beams of light erupted from the Life Executioner Painting in the sky and shot towards the three attackers.
The three black and white beams fluttered in the air and didn’t seem particularly strong, but they made sect master Qing Yang and the others shrink back.
They knew how terrifying the yin and yang power of the Life Executioner Painting was. Even if they had reached the Law Domain stage all it would take was a tiny trace of it to destroy them.
Sect master Qing Yang drew a deep breath and a pillar of light bloomed from his head. Within the dazzling light was a mottled stone stamp. It shined with a mysterious brilliance that seemed to be capable of moulding the mountains and rivers.
The treasure of the Cangxuan Sect, the Little Cangxuan Stamp!
This was the Saint treasure that patriarch Cang Xuan had created based on the Cangxuan Saint Stamp and was considered an imitation of the Cangxuan Saint Stamp.
The Heavenly Sword Sovereign opened his mouth and spat out a sword made of unknown material. The sword had no handle but instead nine knots hanging from one side. When it appeared, the space before it was instantly shredded by piercingly sharp sword qi.
