Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

by Translator: Yeow

  Patriarch Cang Xuan’s face was stormy as he frantically wielded the Cangxaun Saint Stamp to withstand the onslaught.

  For a while, the two parties were in a deadlock.

  However, what made patriarch Cang Xuan breathe a sigh of relief was that the Chaos Origin Sacred Killer Array outside Cangxuan Heaven was incredibly powerful. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to defend against the powerful experts on the other side given his current state.

  However, while patriarch Cang Xuan concentrating on the experts of the sacred race, no one noticed palace master Sheng Yuan’s eyes begin to glow with a strange white light.

  The swaying golden flame above his head was slowly turning into a golden lotus.

  His cultivation had once again risen to the Saint stage!

  The corners of his mouth curved into a strange smile.

  While the Saint flame lotus was taking shape above palace master Sheng Yuan’s head, patriarch Cang Xuan faintly sensed something as his pupils rapidly shrank.

  “Sacred qi of the sacred race?

  “Not good, the sacred race is sneaking their power into Cangxuan Heaven to strengthen Sheng Yuan!”

  The sacred race had appeared to be focused on fighting him, but was actually trying to distract him while carrying out their secret scheme.

  “Haha, Cang Xuan, I told you that luck isn’t on your side today!”

  Palace master Sheng Yuan burst into laughter. In the next moment, his figure disappeared. He appeared directly in front of Yaoyao with a palm poised to strike her.

  “I'm going to find out what exactly you are today!”

  Chapter 740 Receive

  Boom!

  The surrounding space crumbled and the entire world seemed to dim when palace master Sheng Yuan’s palm swung at Yaoyao.

  It was as if a towering mountain was crushing down onto her as the golden Saint flame blazed, burning everything into nothingness.

  Palace master Sheng Yuan’s transformation had been extremely strange, and had moved far too swiftly. Even if patriarch Cang Xuan reacted right away, it would still be too late for him to counter. Furthermore, he was currently preoccupied by the sacred race experts outside the boundary wall.

  Therefore, he could only helplessly watch Sheng Yuan launch a full power attack at Yaoyao.

  Yaoyao hovered in the air, her long golden hair fluttering behind her. The mighty palm of palace paster Sheng Yuan rapidly enlarged in her eyes, but she simply scrunched her brows together in a frown.

  Palace master Sheng Yuan’s sudden attack was equally unexpected to her.

  This man really was extremely annoying.

  The coldest of qis bubbled in the depths of Yaoyao’s bright and clear eyes. She ignored palace master Sheng Yuan’s palm strike, and instead folded her fingers into the centre of her palm and threw a punch at palace master Sheng Yuan.

  “Return to the source!”

  An ancient sound was emitted from her red lips.

  Thud!

  Palace master Sheng Yuan’s palm landed on Yaoyao’s shoulder, but at the same time, her fist also struck him in the chest.

  The space between the two directly collapsed.

  Both were blasted away by the heavy strikes.

  Yaoyao’s bare feet gently touched the air as she steadied her body, while cracks spread across her fair skin.

  Palace master Sheng Yuan’s body was also thrown back, but he immediately stabilized himself with a puzzled look on his face. He had poured all of his strength into that palm strike. Why did it feel as if all his power had disappeared into a bottomless black hole.

  Her body appeared weak and frail, but there seemed to be a terrifying power that even he couldn’t fathom hiding within.

  While such thoughts ran through palace master Sheng Yuan’s mind, his pupils suddenly shrank. He peered down at his chest where he found a small fist imprint. A mysterious force was invading his body through the fist imprint.

  As the force spread, palace master Sheng Yuan realized his flesh and blood was disintegrating.

  In a short few seconds, a bloody hole had already appeared in his chest.

  Moreover, palace master Sheng Yuan was even more shocked to find out that the Genesis Qi in his body was somehow breaking away from his control when it came into contact with that power. It was as if his Genesis Qi had returned to the most basic ownerless Genesis Qi of the universe.

  If that power was allowed to continue eroding his body, he had a feeling that his entire body would be turned into the most fundamental Genesis Qi.

  Palace master Sheng Yuan’s expression darkened. His fingers immediately cut across his chest, removing all the nearby flesh and blood to form an even bigger bloody hole, while further exposing his glistening organs.

  He tossed the flesh and blood away, which rapidly turned to nothingness, unravelling back into the most common Genesis Qi of the land.

  The experts on all sides stared aghast at this scene.

  No one had expected palace master Sheng Yuan to be wounded even after using what could be said to be his greatest chance to attack Yaoyao.

  On the other hand, sect master Qing Yang and the others were equally shocked and overjoyed.

  Unlike them, however, a worried look arose in patriarch Cang Xuan’s eyes, who had been closely from afar. He had seen the faint cracks across Yaoyao’s skin.

  Yaoyao’s body was unable to bear the repeated usage of the power hidden within it.

  Yaoyao’s situation was incredibly special. It had been a miracle for her to receive this body and it would certainly be disastrous for her if it was destroyed.

  The more power she used, the more uneasy that patriarch Cang Xuan felt.

  The most troublesome thing, however, was that Yaoyao had used that power in front of the experts from the sacred race.

  Rumble!

  Patriarch Cang Xuan lifted his head and saw the gigantic golden eye beyond the boundary wall fiercely flickering. Although it was across a great distance, he could still feel the rippling emotions of the sacred race experts.

  “Receive.”

  A faint and unclear voice sounded from far away.

  Palace master Sheng Yuan’s eyes flashed when he heard the voice. Immediately after, a fierce look flashed to his eyes. Today's events would determine whether he could obtain the Cangxuan Saint Stamp and dominate Cangxuan Heaven.

  Therefore, no matter what means he used, he must get rid of patriarch Cang Xuan and Yaoyao.

  But it was currently too difficult for experts of the sacred race to cross the boundary wall. Sheng Yuan knew that although they couldn’t descend with their real bodies, they could send their tremendous power through by paying a great price.

  All they needed was something to receive it.

  “It will still benefit me in the end.”

  A sinister smile spread across palace master Sheng Yuan’s face. With one final glance at Yaoyao, he folded one of his hands in a seal and more than half of his body exploded under countless horrified gazes.

  Boom!

  The smell of blood filled the air.

  Om!

  A pillar of light shooting skywards from the bloody mist, piercing through countless clouds to reach the boundary wall.

  The huge golden vertical-pupil eye in the boundary wall crack flickered a little before finally coming to a decision. All of a sudden, a speck of golden light descended and touched the pillar of light.

  Upon a closer inspection, one would find that there was a blood-soaked eyeball within the golden light!

  The eyeball touched the pillar of light and directly integrated with it. The light pillar retracted at lightning speed, disappearing back into the bloody mist.

  All this happened within a few seconds, and only patriarch Cang Xuan and Yaoyao were able to clearly see everything. However, they were unable to stop these events from transpiring.

  Patriarch Cang Xuan’s face was ashen as he frostily remarked, “Sheng Yuan, you really are such a good slave. You even
destroyed half your body to receive and lead the power of the sacred race in!”

  The bloody mist that filled the air swayed slightly as a figure walked out under countless watching gazes.

  Hss!

  Numerous experts gasped out loud when they saw the figure.

  The figure was covered in blood and half of its body was mangled, but that appearance clearly belonged to palace master Sheng Yuan!

  Even though Sheng Yuan’s body was in a terrible state, his presence had become extremely tyrannical, and had even begun to surpass patriarch Cang Xuan’s.

  Suspended above his head and left shoulder were two Saint flame lotus flowers.

  Sect master Qing Yang and many experts were all shocked to see two Saint flame lotus flowers, unable to believe their eyes.

  Because they all knew that there were three realms to the Saint stage, and every realm was marked by one lotus.

  The formation of three lotus flowers signified the pinnacle of the Saint stage.

  In patriarch Cang Xuan’s heyday, he had been a Saint expert of the two lotus realm.

  And now, palace master Sheng Yuan had reached the same level after receiving the power of the sacred race experts.

  Chapter 741 Destroying the Stamp

  Dread flashed in the eyes of the many experts when palace master Sheng Yuan’s broken body appeared within their sights. Of course, it was not the sinister sight of his body that brought them fear, but the two burning golden Saint fire lotus flowers above his head and shoulder...

  Double lotus stage!

  This was patriarch Cang Xuan’s cultivation level when he had dominated the entire Cangxuan Heaven!

  No one had expected palace master Sheng Yuan to also reach this cultivation level. Although it was due to external power, no one could deny how terrifying he was at this moment.

  As palace master Sheng Yuan stepped into the double lotus Saint stage, the countless white lightning bolts outside the world boundary slowly dissipated, and the giant golden eye dimmed somewhat.

  The ultimate experts of the sacred race had likewise paid a steep price in order to transmit this power and were no longer able to send any attacks through the world boundary.

  Patriarch Cang Xuan was finally free, but an extremely grave look filled his eyes. Although palace master Sheng Yuan’s double lotus stage was indistinct, no matter how faint it was, it was ultimately still a double lotus...

  “Hehe, is this the legendary double lotus Saint?”

  There was a drunken look of infatuation on palace master Sheng Yuan’s mutilated face. His eyes narrowed in pleasure as he felt the vast power within his body.

  This was the level of power he had yearned for in his dreams.

  Patriarch Cang Xuan sneered and said, “You relied on the sacred race’s power to temporarily raise yourself to the double lotus stage. Aren’t you afraid of not having the life to enjoy it?”

  Palace master Sheng Yuan laughed in a carefree manner. How could he not know of the grave consequences that followed? After this battle, he would be seriously injured, and it would take a tremendous amount of time and effort to recover.

  But so what?

  As long as he managed to finish off patriarch Cang Xuan and Yaoyao and then obtain the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, he would become the ruler of this world. When that happened, he would not only recover from all of his injuries but also truly step into the Saint stage.

  “Cang Xuan, are you afraid?”

  Boundless Genesis Qi soared into the sky above palace master Sheng Yuan’s head. The silver Genesis Qi blotted out the sun as concentrated golden light dazzled within it. Golden flames seemed to rise from the golden light.

  This Genesis Qi gave off a suffocating pressure.

  It was Saint Genesis Qi.

  A Law Domain expert could fuse Genesis Qi with the power of the Law Domain, creating Law Domain Genesis Qi.

  Once a Law Domain practitioner stepped into the Saint stage and created Saint fire, Saint fire and Genesis Qi could be fused to become Saint Genesis Qi.

  It was a purer and more powerful force than Low Domain Genesis Qi.

  In the face of such power, anyone below the Saint stage would be akin to a mantis trying to stop a cart.

  Palace master Sheng Yuan howled as boundless Saint Genesis Qi churned. In the blink of an eye, the qi turned into a hundred giant glowing balls in the sky.

  Every ball was a condensation of raw destructive power.

  In an instant, it was as if over a hundred suns had appeared in the sky.

  “Cang Xuan, you suppressed me with your cultivation level back then. Isn’t it my turn to do so now?”

  Palace master Sheng Yuan was full of spirit. With a wave of his sleeve, the hundred sun-like balls descended, falling straight towards patriarch Cang Xuan and Yaoyao.

  The sight of these Saint Genesis Qi balls caused the expressions of sect master Qing Yang and the other Law Domain experts to turn ugly. They could feel that if this attack was headed their way, they would not be able to survive a single ball.

  From this one could see just how powerful palace master Sheng Yuan had become.

  Patriarch Cang Xuan frowned as he gazed upon the attack. If it was the him from the past, palace master Sheng Yuan’s weak double lotus stage would barely be able to threaten him. Unfortunately, he was currently just a mere Spirit fragment.

  Patriarch Cang Xuan sighed as he rapidly formed a series of seals with his hands.

  “Great Mountain River Array!”

  Torrential dark azure Saint Genesis Qi surged forth, transforming into numerous ancient mountains and rivers. Every mountain and river was made from boundless Saint Genesis Qi and wielded more than enough power to easily subdue numerous Law Domain experts.

  Rumble!

  Scorching suns descended from the sky amidst countless shaken gazes, and they collided with the endless mountains and rivers. The entire world seemed to fall silent at the moment of impact, and then an indescribable storm of Genesis Qi quickly followed...

  Space itself shattered and crumbled above Blackwater.

  Some of the aftershocks reached the ground, causing the land to disintegrate.

  The other experts rapidly withdrew, not daring to be caught in the destruction.

  However, their gazes remained tightly glued to the battle in the sky. They knew that the fight was already nearing its end and that both parties had nearly played all of their cards.

  The one who had the final laugh would become the victor.

  Rumble!

  Both parties clashed time and time again, but as time passed, some of the sharper experts began to sense patriarch Cang Xuan’s aura slowly starting to weaken.

  “Teacher is ultimately a Spirit fragment, and it is impossible for him to have an endless supply of power. If this continues, I’m afraid that he will not be a match for Sheng Yuan!” said the master of Hongya Peak in a gloomy voice as a powerless look filled his face. Even experts like them would be instantly destroyed if they tried to interfere in a battle of this level.

  Sect master Qing Yang could only let out a soft sigh. At this juncture, even he could not interfere.

  Palace master Sheng Yuan continued to send out overwhelming attacks one after another, each fueled by Saint Genesis Qi. He could naturally sense the changes in patriarch Cang Xuan, causing an icy smile to rise from the corners of his lips.

  Swoosh!

  However, while he was trying to defeat Cang Xuan as quickly as possible, the space in front of him suddenly shattered as a figure shot out. The tip of a brush danced as countless ancient Genesis Runes formed, transforming into a glowing, ten-thousand-foot-large claw that viciously slashed at him.

  It was Yaoyao.

  “Humph!” Sheng Yuan icily snorted. Blood spurted from his broken body as Saint Genesis Qi swept out, transforming into a giant bloody hand that collided with the glowing claw.

  Dong!

  The surrounding space rippled violently.

  Sheng Yuan’s figure took severa
l rapid steps backwards, and Yaoyao’s body was flung away. Blood appeared on her lips.

  “I’m currently a double lotus Saint, and yet you still dare to face me directly?” Palace master Sheng Yuan’s icy laughter rang out. He had finally obtained the absolute upper hand in that earlier clash.

  “Nevermind, that old ghost Cang Xuan is already akin to a flickering flame in the wind and can’t even defend himself. I guess I’ll capture you first!”

  Palace master Sheng Yuan’s fingers grabbed at the space in front of him.

  Boundless Saint Genesis Qi swept forth. Beams of light interweaved, creating an inescapable net that loomed towards Yaoyao.

  Saint Genesis Qi sealed the area around them, making it impossibly difficult to leave via spatial means.

  Far away, patriarch Cang Xuan’s eyes changed slightly. He wanted to lend a hand but was thoroughly suppressed by Sheng Yuan’s endless onslaught, making it impossible for him to do anything else but defend. Moreover, a feeling of weakness had begun to emerge in his body.

  He softly sighed, feeling somewhat sad. He was after all no longer the same unstoppable patriarch Cang Xuan from the past.

  Even someone who relied on external power to become a double lotus could force him into such a predicament.

  “Patriarch?”

  Zhou Yuan’s voice rang out in his head. He could feel that patriarch Cang Xuan’s consciousness was growing fainter.

  Upon hearing Zhou Yuan’s voice, patriarch Cang Xuan let out a bitter laugh. “Zhou Yuan, I’m afraid I will only be able to help till this point…”

  Zhou Yuan fell silent. Today had truly been a rollercoaster. No one had expected the odds to keep tipping in Sheng Yuan’s favor. Was it really as he had said? Was fate and luck truly with him?

  What was more, Yaoyao’s current situation had become very dangerous, making him extremely anxious.

  “Zhou Yuan, my Spirit fragment is about to dissipate, and control of your body will soon return to you...once my Spirit fragment is gone, some remnant power will be left behind that should be able to give you some protection. You should find an opportunity to escape with Yaoyao.”

  Patriarch Cang Xuan’s voice was growing fainter and fainter.
