And following the death of two companions, the pressure on the remaining two was naturally much greater than before.
Fortunately, Fang Ao also knew that they had reached the limit. After a while, he yelled, “Retreat!”
They both rapidly retreated.
“Silver needle of sky fragments!”
A long silver needle was completely revealed above Fang Ao’s head. Vaguely, the silver needle appeared to be composed of multiple fragments. Its body was no more than a few inches long, but the sharp aura it emitted made even Zhou Yuan freeze for a moment.
“That’s one of the secret high-grade Heaven Genesis techniques of the Silver Light Hall, the Silver Needle of Sky Fragments! The technique is extremely overbearing, sharp and unstoppable. It can even pierce through mountains,” Ye Bingling explained with a solemn look on her pretty face.
Zhou Yuan nodded. Facing a Genesis technique of such a level, the slightest carelessness could lead to fatal injuries. Although Fang Ao was arrogant, he was indeed capable.
Om!
The silver needle shook the void, then instantly shot out with a speed as fast as teleporting. Even though the Sky Obscurer Beast had already retreated vigilantly, the silver needle still caught up like a bolt of lightning.
The Sky Obscurer Beast roared, and a torrent of Genesis Qi gushed from its giant mouth in an attempt to destroy the silver needle.
Swoosh!
However, the silver needle, like a fish in the ocean, swiftly cut through and transformed into a ray of silver light. It pierced through the Sky Obscurer Beast’s jaw!
The Sky Obscurer Beast had underestimated the power of Fang Ao’s killing move.
The Sky Obscurer Beast emitted an anguished roar. If It was in a completely undamaged state, It would have been able to easily endure such an onslaught. However, in its current weakened state, it found it difficult to withstand such a level of attack.
As the silver needle entered the Sky Obscurer Beast’s body, it produced a series of faint explosions, directly causing the beast’s body to burst open.
“Kill it!”
Fang Ao couldn’t help feeling overjoyed when he saw the Sky Obscurer Beast severely injured, and he immediately shouted to the two remaining advanced Divine Dwelling stage experts.
The remaining two rushed out at his command. As long as they could inflict another serious injury, the beast could be killed.
Boom!
But just as the two sped out, a torrent of Genesis Qi fell from the sky, directly blasting them away.
“You all must be tired. I will finish it off.” Zhou Yuan’s laughter resounded across the sky, and he headed straight towards the Sky Obscurer Beast, a sword orb forming in the palm of his hand.
“Bastard!”
The veins on Fang Ao’s forehead visibly bulged when he saw Zhou Yuan charge out. But he had activated his Genesis Qi to its extreme and couldn’t launch another attack. He could only watch Zhou Yuan rush out to grab the reward of the battle.
Om!
The sword orb in Zhou Yuan’s hand transformed into a dazzling light sword, appearing above the Sky Obscurer Beast in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the beast was roaring and struggling frantically, but was unable to escape because of its serious internal injuries.
Zhou Yuan’s expression was calm and indifferent, without any compassion. The light sword in his hand quivered and directly pierced the Sky Obscurer Beast’s head.
The Sky Obscurer Beast let out a final roar of anger and struggled repeatedly. Then, finally, its body stiffened.
Its corpse plunged from the sky, smashing a huge pit into the forest. Zhou Yuan landed on the corpse, crouched down, and clenched his hand. The Heavenly Yuan Brush appeared in his hand in a flash. The tip of the brush pointed directly at the beast’s heart and thrust forward.
Its snowy-white brush hair rapidly extended, punctured the heart of the Sky Obscurer Beast, and absorbed all its blood in the apex of the heart.
Zhou Yuan could even see thick blood flowing back down the brush hair. The Heavenly Yuan Brush made a slight vibration, as though excited.
Zhou Yuan went into deep thought. The original material used to depict the sixth rune of the Heavenly Yuan Brush was the blood from the apex of the heart of the Sky Obscurer Beast. But after so many years, the blood had almost been completely consumed, and to awaken the sixth rune, he had to replenish it with the blood of a Sky Obscurer Beast.
“Now, it should awaken right?” Zhou Yuan stared intently at the sixth Genesis Rune on the mottled brush.
He saw that there were specks of blood gathering, and a majestic wave of energy erupted from the Heavenly Yuan Brush. The sixth Genesis Rune was finally completely illuminated.
At the same time, a message seemed to quietly spread into Zhou Yuan’s heart, and it made his eyes light up.
The corners of his mouth curled upwards. He gently rubbed the sixth rune with his finger.
The sixth rune of the Heavenly Yuan Brush.
Chapter 842 Surpass you
“Spirit Devour?”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the sixth Genesis Rune on the mottled brush. He thought over the information that entered his mind, and a moment later a smile curved the corners of his mouth.
The so-called Spirit Devour devours all spirits.
Of course, this was only the initial ability. The sixth rune of the Heavenly Yuan Brush could devour all spirits, store them in the rune, and release them in a special form.
That form was called the Spirit Burial.
Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed, and he directly turned to the Sky Obscurer Beast’s corpse lying on the ground. The next moment, countless snow-white brush hairs shot out, drilling directly into the beast’s head. A black beast spirit crystal around the size of a fist was slowly rising.
Inside the beast spirit crystal, the beast’s spirit was roaring in anger but was unable to escape from its imprisonment.
The snow-white hair penetrated the spirit crystal and pierced the spirit of the Sky Obscurer Beast.
Roar!
The enraged roar of a beast could be faintly heard.
It seemed to be aware that something terrifying was about to happen, but its resistance was futile. Soon, its spirit broke apart, and the brush’s hair sucked it up.
A black substance flowed back along the brush hair, then poured into the sixth rune, turning it pitch-black.
“It devours the spirit and then buries the spirit to form a powerful attack.” Zhou Yuan’s face lit up. An attack caused by the destruction of the spirit, whether for a human or Genesis Beast, was a fatal attack.
Many people would rather die than have the courage to destroy their spirit.
And the sixth rune devoured the spirit to form a power for the spirit to explode.
Of course, this kind of power wasn’t as powerful as a spirit’s real self-explosion, because that process included igniting the Genesis Qi within the body, but the spirit swallowed by Spirit Devour obviously didn’t possess Genesis Qi.
Even so, its ability was terrifying.
And the most important thing was that in Zhou Yuan’s perception, the sixth rune, Spirit Devour, didn’t seem to have a limit. It could continuously swallow spirits, as long as Zhou Yuan could withstand the recoil during Spirit Burial. In theory, he could use this move to kill even experts of the Heavenly Sun stage and Nascent Source stage.
Of course, it was different for the Law Domain. Once situated in a Law Domain, it was as though one was inside a divine shrine, almost invincible.
But even so, the power of Spirit Devour seemed to defy natural order.
“This sixth rune is indeed interesting.” Zhou Yuan’s eyes lit up. As the Genesis Runes of the Heavenly Yuan Brush awakened one after another, the brush began to gradually recover its former magnificence. It was hard to imagine what kind of power the Heavenly Yuan Brush would possess when all nine Genesis Runes were awakened.
Boom!
When Zhou Yuan
was overjoyed by the power of the sixth rune, a strange noise echoed through the air. He lifted his head to see that not far away, Fang Ao and the other two advanced Divine Dwelling experts were frantically bombarding the GenesisQi boundary. As a result of their repeated bombardment, the Genesis Rune boundary shook unsteadily.
But at this moment, Ye Bingling and the others who were hidden in the dark suddenly countered. Waves of Genesis Qi blasted away the two advanced Divine Dwelling experts and caused blood to spurt from their mouths.
Fang Ao, however, withstood the attacks. He coldly stared at Ye Bingling and the others who had appeared.
Fang Ao turned his gaze to Zhou Yuan and said coldly, “Zhou Yuan, we have already killed the Sky Obscurer Beast for you. Why aren’t you opening the boundary?!”
Zhou Yuan’s body moved and reappeared in midair.
“Deputy pavilion master Fang Ao is indeed amazing. You only lost two people yet could still kill the Sky Obscurer Beast,” Zhou Yuan complimented.
Hearing this, Fang Ao was so infuriated that the corners of his eyes twitched. He stared resentfully at Zhou Yuan. The humiliation he suffered was too much.
But even though he was extremely angry, Fang Ao still forcibly endured it because he knew that they had already lost their opportunity. He had no choice but to wait for his next chance.
“Don’t talk nonsense, open the boundary!”
Zhou Yuan shook his head, saying indifferently, “Deputy pavilion master Fang Ao, you must have gotten it wrong. You were the one following me with bad intentions—you wanted to take my life. You think the matter has ended?”
Fang Ao narrowed his eyes, and they flashed with a glint with malice. He smiled. “Oh, what more does pavilion master Zhou Yuan want?
“You want to kill me?”
The corners of his mouth tugged just slightly upward as he indifferently added, “It’s not that I look down on you, but even though you have many people with you, it won’t be easy to make me die here today.”
Fang Ao’s voice faded. He stepped forward, and a gush of majestic Genesis Qi suddenly rose from his body.
Silver light filled the sky, illuminating countless Genesis Qi stars, and an astonishing Genesis Qi pressure immediately filled the area.
Ye Bingling’s, Shang Xiaoling’s and the others’ expressions changed, a look of fear came to their eyes. They could sense that Fang Ao’s Genesis Qi foundation had reached 16 million Genesis Qi stars!
It was far stronger than Chen Beifeng’s!
“Scared?”
Fang Ao sneered. He stretched out his hand, revealing a complete fire spirit rune on the back of his hand. The next moment, a crimson aura emerged, and Fang Ao’s Genesis Qi foundation surged once again!
It directly increased by 2.5 million!
At this moment, Fang Ao, standing in the void, had formed a terrifying storm of Genesis Qi.
A Genesis Qi foundation of 18.5 million Genesis Qi stars!
Xiao Hong’s and the others faces turned uncontrollably pale. They didn’t expect Fang Ao to have completely refined a fire spirit rune.
And under this level of Genesis Qi pressure, their bodies became heavy. They wondered whether or not they could really stop someone as fierce as Fang Ao.
“Zhou Yuan, you really are shameless. I wanted to let you live today, but you had to seek your own death!
“Do you really think I’m leaving because I’m afraid of you? I’m just not confident of killing all of you, and it would be troublesome if one of you escaped. But since you want to die, I have to fulfill your request!”
As he roared, the whole world seemed to quake violently. Genesis Qi rapidly whizzed across the sky.
However, in the face of Fang Ao’s mighty Genesis Qi, although a look of surprise flashed across Zhou Yuan’s face, there wasn’t a hint of fear. Instead, he smiled. “A Genesis Qi foundation of 18.5 million is indeed impressive.”
He wasn’t blasted back like Ye Bingling and the others and instead strode forward.
Boom!
A gush of majestic Genesis Qi soared unreservedly into the sky.
Fifteen million Genesis Qi stars lit up in the void.
Behind him, Ye Bingling, Xiao Hong and the others all gaped. They could clearly remember that when Zhou Yuan had fought against Chen Beifeng just over a month ago, his Genesis Qi foundation was only 11 million.
It was only after he had activated the wind spirit rune that his Genesis Qi foundation had soared to 15 million!
But now, Zhou Yuan clearly didn’t activate the wind spirit rune!
Fang Ao’s pupils shrank.
But Zhou Yuan didn’t give him the opportunity to speak. He took another step forward, and on the back of the hand, an azure light glowed. The wind spirit rune had emerged.
Boom
The Genesis Qi stars increased by another three million!
His foundation had reached 18.5 million stars, which was exactly the same as Fang Ao’s!
At this moment, everyone was utterly shocked, including Fang Ao.
“You think it’s over?”
A mocking smile twisted Zhou Yuan’s lips, and a red light bloomed on the back of his hand. The fire spirit rune that had reached 70% completion was also activated.
As a result, Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi soared once again.
Although it wasn’t as frightening as a complete wind spirit rune, it still increased his Genesis Qi stars by another 1.5 million.
20 million!
20 million Genesis Qi stars flooded the world and caused turbulence in the void!
Fang Ao blankly watched this scene. A chill rushed straight to the top of his head, and deep in his heart a strong feeling of fear gushed out like the tide.
Zhou Yuan peered at Fang Ao expressionlessly, his calm voice echoing between heaven and earth.
“A foundation of 18 million Genesis Qi stars is indeed frightening, but unfortunately, I just happen to surpass you.”
Chapter 843 Spirit Burial
Twenty million Genesis Qi stars lit up the void, and the Genesis Qi between heaven and earth seemed to bubble. An unparalleled pressure enveloped them all, which not only made Ye Bingling’s and the others’ expressions change but also Fang Ao’s, whose face contorted with fear.
“20 million Genesis Qi stars?! How is that possible!” Fang Ao roared out loud. The impact of this scene on him could be said to be unimaginable.
After all, when Zhou Yuan had battled Chen Beifeng a month ago, he had only possessed 15 million Genesis Qi stars after exhausting all his trump cards. So how could there be such a huge improvement in one month?
How does he cultivate?!
Twenty million Genesis Qi stars in the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage? Who would believe it?
Among the four pavilions, only the three other pavilion masters could reach the foundation level of more than 20 million Genesis Qi stars!
But those three were long established heaven prides at the Divine Dwelling stage. What about Zhou Yuan? Before coming to the Tianyuan Region, there was most likely no one who had heard of him before!
But now, this unknown person had begun to catch up to the highest echelons belonging to people like Lu Xiao!
Fang Ao had greatly looked down on Zhou Yuan before, and even if Zhou Yuan had defeated Chen Beifeng, in his eyes, Zhou Yuan was still not qualified to be the master of a pavilion. It was only that day that he finally realised that his actions and attitude towards Zhou Yuan were undoubtedly as funny as a clown’s.
And towards Fang Ao’s uncontrollable roar, Zhou Yuan simply paid no attention to it. Instead, he stared at him with a murderous glint in his eyes.
Seeing the look in Zhou Yuan’s eyes, Fang Ao felt greatly insulted, and he roared out loud, “Zhou Yuan, stop pretending! I know you’re just bluffing! You really think I would be afraid of you?”
Om!
He folded his hands together, and a gush of Genesis Qi immediately condensed. A silver needle that looked as if it was formed from fragments o
f light rose from the top of his head.
“Silver needle of sky fragments!”
Fang Ao roared and directly activated his trump card.
Om!
The silver needle shot up, but just when everyone thought Fang Ao was going to launch an attack on Zhou Yuan, the silver light needle suddenly appeared at Fang Ao’s foot. The next moment, it sped away carrying him.
Bang!
The silver needle struck the boundary and, this time, tore it apart.
The silver light needle escaped with Fang Ao like a bolt of lightning.
Ye Bingling and the others stared dumbstruck at the scene. Fang Ao had actually fled without a fight!
Zhou Yuan was a little surprised. Fang Ao was sometimes stupid, but when it came to escaping with his life, he was more decisive than anyone else.
The remaining two advanced Divine Dwelling stage experts also dared not stay any longer and desperately turned to flee.
“Zhou Yuan, don’t be so proud. I won’t rest until you’re dead!” Fang Ao’s furious roar sounded from a distance. Evidently, his dignity had been greatly insulted.
“What do we do?” Ye Bingling hurriedly asked. Given Fang Ao’s strength, if he really wanted to flee, there was no way they could stop him.
Zhou Yuan emotionlessly watched Fang Ao swiftly whizz through the air to escape.
“Since they ruthlessly plotted against me, why should I have mercy on them?
“All of them have to die.”
Zhou Yuan stretched out his hand, revealing a black light in the palm of his hand. His entire palm was dyed a strange black color, and beneath it seemed to be an extremely terrifying power surging.
But Zhou Yuan knew that this was because he had activated the Heavenly Yuan Brush’s sixth rune, Spirit Devour.
Today, let’s use Fang Ao as a testing stone to try the power of the sixth rune.
PA!
Zhou Yuan flicked his finger.
“Spirit Burial,” he muttered in his heart.
The moment his voice faded, Zhou Yuan’s head suddenly shook, and a violent roar of a beast echoed in his head. Vaguely, the spirit of the Sky Obscurer Beast turned to bite him, but soon the Spirit between Zhou Yuan’s eyebrows shot out a ray of light. With the power of the Spirit of the Transformative stage, he was able to forcibly withstand the Sky Obscurer Beast’s counterattack.
