Zhou Yuan’s figure slowly descended, and he coldly peered down at Chen Xuandong and indifferently said, “Do you still want to continue?”
Chen Xuandong’s eyes flashed with malice. He took a deep breath, slowly climbed up and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth. “You really think I don’t have any other moves?”
He still had a final trump card, an incomplete little Saint art he had yet to master fully. But once used, the art would certainly reverse the tide.
But that little Saint art wasn’t complete, and if he used it forcibly, it would adversely affect him.
But at this moment, given the situation, he couldn’t care anymore.
“Since you want to die, I will fulfill your wish!”
Chen Xuandong folded his hands together and performed multiple hand seals consecutively. He was about to use his last trump card.
However, it was at this moment that Zhou Yuan slowly lifted his palm, curled his fingers inwards, and stared indifferently at Chen Xuandong. In the depths of his eyes was a flash of black-and-white light. His fingertips similarly flashed with a black-and-white light.
Boom!
Thunder rumbled across the world.
The immense Genesis Qi between heaven and earth displayed a frantic state before gathering towards Zhou Yuan as though forming a massive vortex.
Many experts’ expressions changed drastically. Even the expressions of Heavenly Sun stage experts grew solemn. They were obviously aware of the faint dangerous aura between heaven and earth.
Chen Xuandong’s changing seals suddenly froze. He stared wide-eyed at Zhou Yuan, his expression freezing. He had clearly felt an indescribable, terrifying force.
This…
This is a real little Saint art!
What Zhou Yuan was going to show was unexpectedly a little Saint art he had mastered!
Beads of cold sweat rolled down Chen Xuandong’s cheeks.
Zhou Yuan’s eyes were biting cold as he stared at Chen Xuandong. It was only after a while that an indifferent voice came forth.
“If you want to die, move again.”
Chapter 913 Defeated the Ninth Place Again
Zhou Yuan hovered in the air, and a tremendous vortex of Genesis Qi began taking shape around him. His two fingers were curled inwards, and his fingertips flashed with black-and-white light. He stared at Chen Xuandong, who was rooted to the spot, and icy-cold killing intent flashed across his eyes.
Under Zhou Yuan’s watchful gaze, Chen Xuandong, who was prepared to strike back one final time, was afraid to budge even an inch.
He madly roared in his heart, “Damn it! It's a little Saint art!
“He has mastered a little Saint art?!”
Chen Xuandong's final trump card was an incomplete little Saint art. Even though it was incomplete, he still relied on it as a killing move, but now, the trump card that Zhou Yuan had prepared was a true little Saint art!
How could he fight back?
From the look in Zhou Yuan's eyes, Chen Xuandong knew that if he really dared to move again, Zhou Yuan wouldn’t hesitate to unleash the destructive power at his fingertips and wipe him out.
Thus, Chen Xuandong remained rational in the face of death.
He slowly scattered the Genesis Qi around his body and said in a hoarse voice with difficulty, “I admit defeat.”
Even if he was unwilling to face it, he had to admit that he had lost against Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan flicked his sleeve, and a wave of Genesis Qi wrapped up Chen Xuandong’s voice and spread it across the world so that everyone could hear his words.
Hua!
An uproar broke out, and countless people stared at the scene with utter disbelief. Who would have thought that Chen Xuandong would be defeated!
The match between the two super dark horses ended with Zhou Yuan of the Tianyuan Region having the last laugh!
The Tri-Mountain Alliance had mustered up the courage to provoke the Tianyuan Region and had been full of confidence, but who would have thought that this would be the result?
The three Law Domain experts of the Tri-Mountain Alliance could feel the amount of power within Zhou Yuan’s killing move, and his move was indeed not something Chen Xuandong could withstand.
The many other parties secretly sighed. The Tianyuan Region was indeed worthy of being one of the nine regions.
On the Tianyuan Region’s side, many experts revealed a joyful smile one after another. As they gazed at Zhou Yuan from afar, a look of admiration and recognition came to their eyes.
Zhou Yuan’s previous achievements were local and not widespread, so it was naturally difficult for him to receive recognition. But it was different this time. After defeating Chen Xuandong, he could be said to have blocked the Tri-Mountain Alliance’s covetous thoughts and greatly contributed to the Tianyuan Region.
The light mirror in the sky also immediately passed on the battle situation to the Tianyuan Region’s 800 prefectures.
As a result, deafening cheers broke out from the many prefectures’ main cities.
Zhou Yuan's victory could be considered as venting the anger of the Tianyuan Region’s people. After all, the repeated provocations of the Tri-Mountain Alliance had filled many people of the Tianyuan Region with anger.
Tianyuan Utopia.
On the round platform, everybody’s eyes were wide with shock.
“Chen Xuandong, he, he lost?” someone stammered and evidently still found it hard to believe. Chen Xuandong was ranked ninth on the Divine Dwelling List and was said to have truly fought his way onto and up the ranking list!
“The chief pavilion master is too abnormal, isn’t he?”
“So, he could be said to have defeated two people ranked ninth on the Divine Dwelling List?” someone couldn't help but remark, but then he quickly covered his mouth and glanced towards the people of the Fire Pavilion.
Everyone looked at each other, but after a few breaths, there was a roar of excitement.
“The chief pavilion master is invincible!”
“The chief pavilion master is invincible!’
“----”
Everybody’s face was flushing, and there was even awe in their eyes. It was obvious that after this battle, Zhou Yuan’s reputation in the four pavilions had truly reached its peak.
In the face of his achievements, even the disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect widened their eyes in admiration.
A complex expression crossed Lu Xiao’s face when he heard the deafening cheers. He knew that if he were the chief pavilion master, Chen Xuandong would have defeated him and the four pavilions would have been disappointed.
He felt somewhat glad because he knew that even he couldn’t withstand such a situation.
“He's a better chief pavilion master than what I would be,” Lu Xiao mumbled.
Zuo Ya, Zhu Lian and the others all fell silent. Even Zuo Ya, who saw Zhou Yuan as an eyesore, couldn’t say a word because she wasn’t stupid and clearly saw that they were fortunate to have Zhou Yuan as their chief pavilion master. Otherwise, the four pavilions of the Tianyuan Region would have become a laughing stock.
“In the nine regions tournament, please try to cooperate with him as much as possible. With his leadership, perhaps our Tianyuan Region can achieve a good result this time,” Lu Xiao said after taking a deep breath.
A group of Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples next to him nodded.
Yi Qiushui gently patted her chest and drew a deep breath. “I was almost scared to death.”
Ye Bingling nodded. Although they were not at the battle, they could still feel the extreme danger through the light mirror.
“But after this battle, Zhou Yuan’s position is indeed unshakable. He has won the hearts of the four pavilions,” Ye Bingling stated.
Yi Qiushui nodded. She similarly felt that the members of the four pavilions had begun to truly worship Zhou Yuan and that the four pavilions were finally standing united because of outside provocation.
At the Endl
ess Crevice watched by countless people.
When Chen Xuandong admitted defeat, the black-and-white flashes of light at Zhou Yuan's fingertips gradually disappeared as the terrifying and dangerous aura faded.
With an indifferent expression, Zhou Yuan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. After two months of training, his Yin Yang Lightning Rune had given birth to a ray of yin-and-yang lightning. If he were to bring it out now, it would be a waste.
It was already the perfect result to make someone surrender without fighting.
“Accepted.” Zhou Yuan threw a glance at Chen Xuandong and didn't pay any more attention to him. He gave a cupped fist salute and turned away.
As he walked towards the Tianyuan Region, many experts cast their eyes at him. Unlike before, their eyes contained more admiration and awe than doubt.
Zhou Yuan lifted his head to look at the five figures in the void and gave a cupped fist salute. “Fortunately, I didn’t lose my life.”
A smile crossed Chi Jing’s face, and clan elder Mu Ni nodded with a smile. “Zhou Yuan, you did very well.”
As the two expressed their opinions, sect master Xuan Kun, Bai Ye and Bian Chang also nodded in approval of Zhou Yuan’s performance. After all, countless people had witnessed his battle. They couldn’t deny it by simply shaking their heads. Besides, it would be incredibly petty, given their identity and status.
Chi Jing raised her head and smiled at the three Law Domain experts from the Tri-Mountain Alliance. “What else does the Tri-Mountain Alliance have to say? If a contest of the Divine Dwelling stage isn’t enough, you can try the Heavenly Sun stage or the Nascent Source stage. If you still aren’t convinced, the three of you can even personally take action. My Tianyuan Region will always accept the challenge.”
The three Law Domain experts stiffened, and then mountain lord Gui Yuan answered, “Why is grand elder Chi Jing in such a hurry? The Tri-Mountain Alliance will admit defeat this time.
“But grand elder Chi Jing, you must know that today’s affairs are due to the changes in the Tianyuan Region. The status of the nine regions is extraordinary and can’t be guarded by five Law Domain experts alone.”
His tone was indifferent, but the meaning was clear.
My Tri-Mountain Alliance may have failed this time, but the conflicts won’t end here. As long as supreme sovereign Cang Yuan doesn’t appear, you will be continually challenged until the day the Tianyuan Region is removed from the nine regions.
Chi Jing calmly responded, “Whoever wants to target my Tianyuan Region, my Tianyuan Region will accompany them.”
“Then I hope grand elder Chi Jing can withstand them.
“My Tri-Mountain Alliance will send over 300 Divine Dwelling Immeasurable Fruits later.”
The other two Law Domain experts turned and left.
In the distance, the mighty army of people from the Tri-Mountain Alliance reluctantly retreated.
Standing in the sky, Chi Jing and Mu Ni didn’t reveal a ripple of emotion on their faces as they watched them leave, but the depths of theirs were solemn. They knew that mountain lord Gui Yuan was right. As long as supreme sovereign Cang Yuan wasn’t in Hunyuan Heaven, similar provocations would continue to appear in the future.
They were also keenly aware of the secret, underlying plot. Someone wanted to force supreme sovereign Cang Yuan to appear.
Chi Jing and Mu Ni exchanged a glance and very quickly calmed their emotions.
Sect master Xuan Kun, Bai Ye and Bian Chang disappeared without saying anything, and Chi Jing and Mu Ni descended in front of Zhou Yuan and said with a smile, “Congratulations. This time no one will stop you from being ranked ninth on the Divine Dwelling List.”
Zhou Yuan was a little helpless. Who cares about such a thing?
“But don’t be so proud. Chen Xuandong is the most harmless heaven pride compared to the ones you’ll meet at the nine regions tournament,” Mu Ni remarked.
Zhou Yuan gently nodded. He, of course, understood that his match with Chen Xuandong was only a small trial. The real event was the nine regions tournament in one month.
His first goal of coming to Hunyuan Heaven was finally in front of him.
Chapter 914 Stably in Ninth Position
The result of the endless battle had, in just a few days, passed into the ears of all parties concerned about the battle and caused a great uproar.
Chen Xuandong's defeat was a surprise to many people.
This led to many people becoming interested in the Tianyuan Region’s chief pavilion master. It was unknown where the Tianyuan Region had found such a good seedling. With the leadership of this chief pavilion master, would they still rank last in the nine regions tournament?
Regardless, Zhou Yuan had risen to fame across the vast and endless Hunyuan Heaven after winning the battle against Chen Xuandong.
.....
Xuanji Region.
When the girl named Jiu Gong received the news, she was taken aback for a good while.
“Hey, senior sister Jiu Gong, it looks like you've made a mistake this time.” A young female disciple chuckled.
Jiu Gong didn’t respond but carefully read the news she had received, which recorded the battle between Zhou Yuan and Chen Xuandong in detail.
After reading for a moment, she raised her eyebrows slightly. “A second form of the four spirit runes? Two increases in strength? A Genesis Qi foundation of 42 million?”
She gently set down the jade bamboo slip, a hint of surprise in her clear eyes. “This chief pavilion master of the Tianyuan Region is indeed surprising. He even developed the second form of the four spirits runes.”
Almost all nine regions had a secret method to enhance the Genesis Qi foundation, but very few could achieve this two-stage change. Furthermore, there were very few secret methods in the entire Hunyuan Heaven that could increase one’s foundation by over 20 million Genesis Qi stars.
“Senior sister Jiu Gong, the Tianyuan Region’s chief pavilion master may be ranked ninth now, right?”
Looking at the smile on the girl’s face, Jiu Gong couldn't help but shoot her an angry stare. “I made a mistake, and you’re happy?”
The young girl covered her mouth and snickered. After all, Jiu Gong had always been incredibly careful, and it wasn’t often one saw her make a mistake.
Jiu Gong pursed her red lips. “He defeated Chen Xuandong, so the ninth place on the Divine Dwelling List naturally belongs to him, and Chen Xuandong will be moved down a ranking.”
She shook her head, mumbling Zhou Yuan’s name in her heart. It was only after a good while that she no longer thought about it. Zhou Yuan had indeed risen to fame after defeating Chen Xuandong, but that only meant he had the qualification to compete with the other top heaven prides in the nine regions tournament.
Moreover, as the reviewer of the Divine Dwelling List, Jiu Gong knew that a foundation of 42 million Genesis Qi stars was indeed astonishing for top heaven prides, but compared to those ranked in the top eight, it was still somewhat lacking.
It should be said that those monsters all had the nicknames of Little Heavenly Suns.
And Chen Xuandong was still some distance away from those monsters.
So, if the Tianyuan Region wanted to get rid of their usual bottom ranking in the nine regions tournament, Zhou Yuan would need to become stronger.
After all, the Tianyuan Region was far behind the other eight regions.
How would it be so easy to catch up?
....
Wushen Region.
On a misty platform, Wu Yao, clad in a bright red dress, was peering into the distance, her hair blowing in the wind.
In her hand was a jade bamboo slip detailing the match between Zhou Yuan and Chen Xuandong.
“Senior sister Wu Yao, you always foresee things accurately,” Lan Ting said with a smile.
His expression was somewhat strange because Wu Yao had been in such a state ever since receiving the news.
Hearing the voice, Wu Yao finally retract
ed her gaze and said indifferently, “Zhou Yuan will most likely be our greatest enemy in the nine regions tournament.”
Lan Ting was taken aback, and he immediately smiled, “Isn’t junior sister Wu Yao thinking too much? He only defeated Chen Xuandong. Even I can easily do that, not to mention you. It’s too much to say he’ll be our greatest enemy.”
He didn’t understand why Wu Yao would pay so much attention to Zhou Yuan of the Tianyuan Region.
The Wushen Region’s greatest enemy? The Wushen Region’s competition was Zhao Mushen of the Wanzu Region and Su Youwei of the Zixiao Region! Furthermore, even if it was Zhao Mushen himself, just what rights did he have to compete with them?
Wu Yao kept an indifferent expression on her face and was too lazy to explain. She cast her gaze to the distance again. No one knew how dangerous Zhou Yuan was better than her. In her opinion, Zhao Mushen was indeed a great enemy, but this was obvious. On the other hand, Zhou Yuan was a venomous dragon hiding in the dark. Once he revealed his fangs, he could kill with a single strike.
If Zhou Yuan wasn’t in the Tianyuan Region and didn’t occupy a high and mighty position, Wu Yao would want to find a chance to get rid of this hidden danger before he revealed his fangs.
As Wu Yao thought of the danger Zhou Yuan would bring, a blazing battle intent gushed from the depths of her eyes.
“Zhou Yuan, no one will come to help you this time!
“If you’re only at this level, don't blame me for taking away the sacred dragon qi in your body.”
.....
Zixiao Region.
Many Zixiao Region disciples were gathered in a ring-shaped, arena-like building.
They were all staring at the center of the building where a bead was emitting rays of light. The light intertwined to form a light screen depicting two figures in a fierce match. It was Zhou Yuan and Chen Xuandong.
The bead was the Zixiao Region’s image retaining stone, and it was showing the match between Zhou Yuan and Chen Xuandong.
The battle gradually came to an end, ending in Zhou Yuan's victory.
Many exclamations erupted. It was clear that the result wasn’t what the disciples had expected.
