As his voice faded, several beams of mighty Genesis Qi swiftly shot into the sky from Fallen City, and silhouettes swept across the sky like locusts, blotting out the sun and sky for a good while.
“Let’s go!” Zhou Yuan took the lead, soaring into the sky.
Lu Xiao, Mu Liu and other members of the four pavilions quickly followed.
Nine waves of people skimmed through the air, each group distinctly separated from each other, heading for the ancient mountain range to the south at full speed.
In awe, countless people in Fallen City stared at the figures in the distance.
In the void above, Zhao Xiansun flicked his finger, causing the Genesis Qi to pulse and gather into a gigantic nine-sided mirror that revealed the movements of the nine groups.
Many people fixed their gazes on the Genesis Qi mirror and whispered to one another.
“I wonder if one of the dragons would be severed in this year’s Sever Nine Dragon?”
“Haha, do you want to say the Tianyuan Region is unlucky?”
“It’s pitiful. As one of the nine regions, the region has deteriorated to this state. If this continues, it will most likely have to give away its position.”
“How can 2,000 people from the Tianyuan Region defeat the people of five top forces? They are bound to lose.”
“--”
Many people secretly shook their heads, sighed, or gloated over the Tianyuan Region’s bad luck. However, it was clear that almost everybody felt that the Tianyuan Region had fallen into a hopeless situation.
Zhou Yuan and the others moved at full speed, and in around ten minutes, an endless ancient mountain range appeared in view. Cliffs lined every single mountainside and stabbed into the sky like swords piercing above the clouds.
The mountain tops were so high that it was difficult for even Divine Dwelling stage experts to leap over them.
At such a high height, a Genesis Qi storm was raging and causing havoc, making it impossible for the Divine Dwelling stage experts to shuttle through.
When the nine waves of people came to the mountain range, they quickly separated and headed for different routes.
The nine routes were separate.
It was then that Zhou Yuan met Zhao Mushen, Hunyuan Heaven’s king of the Divine Dwelling stage. He stood calmly in front of the thousands of people from the Wanzu Region, his robe billowing around him.
He was indeed a handsome person, but he was very arrogant.
It was obvious that Zhao Mushen was aware of Zhou Yuan’s gaze, but he didn’t glance at him. That feeling was similar to how he treated the respectful gazes of usual passersby.
Next to Zhao Mushen was a pretty woman who swept a glance over Zhou Yuan and curled her lips contemptuously.
Zhou Yuan ignored them and unhesitatingly waved his hand, leading the 2,000 people from the Tianyuan Region into the ancient mountain range with dangerously sharp ridges and steep peaks.
Looking at their shadows, countless people felt the fierce wind howling.
After this trip, the Tianyuan Region would most likely become turbulent.
And the Tianyuan Region’s reputation would suffer an unprecedented blow!
Chapter 932 Trap
Two thousand figures swiftly moved through the cloud-covered mountains and forests; no obstacle could stop them.
As they marched forward, the group kept particularly quiet as Zhou Yuan led them.
He could feel the heavy atmosphere around the team. Everyone was aware of the serious consequences if they lost, but there was nothing they could do. Many things had happened in the Tianyuan Region in the past few years, and their overall strength had been steadily weakening. The team of 2,000 people present was already the region’s elites of the Divine Dwelling stage.
The impact that Cang Yuan’s disappearance had on the Tianyuan Region was too great.
Or perhaps the weight of a Saint expert was too great.
The reason that the Tianyuan Region could stand in Hunyuan Heaven for so many years was most likely due to supreme sovereign Cang Yuan.
Now that supreme sovereign Cang Yuan had been missing for so many years, if it weren’t for the fact that his power and prestige remained, the Tianyuan Region would most likely be worse than it was now. It was difficult to defend a territory of this level with just a few Law Domain experts.
Zhou Yuan sped across the mountains and through the forest, the look in his eyes becoming increasingly resolute. No matter how difficult it was, he needed to achieve the best results in the nine regions tournament and obtain the Ancestral Dragon lantern!
It was his main purpose for coming to Hunyuan Heaven!
Chi!
The Genesis Qi at his feet surged, and his body soared into the sky; he was the first to leap up a mountain.
Then he narrowed his eyes.
Chi!
The thousands of figures behind him landed, all staring ahead with solemn expressions.
Flags were fluttering between the mountains, and black silhouettes formed a strong line of defense in front of them. They almost completely blocked their path leading to the distance.
On a sword-like mountain peak behind the defensive line, three figures stood with their arms crossed. They were staring ruminatively at Zhou Yuan and the others. Behind them was a huge red flag flapping in the wind like a ball of fire.
Genesis Qi faintly flashed above the red flag, and on the flag was the seal to enter Fallen Abyss. To get the seal, however, Zhou Yuan and the others needed to pass the trial.
“Haha, chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, I am Lu Hai of the Scarlet Cloud Sword Sect. We’ve been waiting for you,” the scarlet-robed man roared in laughter, his voice sounding from the top of the mountain. He carried a sword on his back.
He didn’t conceal his Genesis Qi, and it shrouded him like a roaring sea of flame. Even from a distance, his powerful Genesis Qi foundation made Lu Xiao and the others inwardly shudder.
The man wasn’t any weaker than Chen Xuandong.
“The top forces really know how to hide.” Yi Qiushui gritted her teeth. It was obvious that the top forces had been preparing for many years. They had to have exhausted a lot of resources to cultivate a Divine Dwelling heaven pride of this level.
On the contrary, if Zhou Yuan hadn’t suddenly emerged in the Tianyuan Region, they would have had to rely on Lu Xiao alone. From this, it was obvious what a mess the Tianyuan Region was, both inside and outside. It was no wonder that the major forces dared to step on the Tianyuan Region’s face.
“Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, you won’t be able to pass through this path in the nine regions tournament. If you don’t want to create a big scene, I advise you to turn back. As for your eligibility to participate in the nine regions tournament, I will help you enjoy it.” Lu Hai’s laughter, filled with arrogance, sounded again.
His words infuriated the 2,000 people from theTianyuan Region, and they all stared at Lu Hai with flames spewing from their eyes.
Zhou Yuan’s expression remained unchanged. He paid no attention to Lu Hai’s obvious provocation. He only gave a glance at the forest around the mountains. The Genesis Qi fluctuations, which numbered in the thousands, signaled that the opponents were well prepared.
“Follow the plan I said earlier.” Zhou Yuan turned to remind Lu Xiao and the others.
“Do you really want to do this?” Lu Xiao asked again.
“You just have to stall the 4,000 Divine Dwelling experts. Leave the rest to me,” Zhou Yuan said.
Lu Xiao took a deep look at Zhou Yuan and said, “You are the chief pavilion master, and we listen to everything you say, but if we fail because of your decision, you will need to take responsibility.”
Zhou Yuan nodded with a smile.
Lu Xiao didn’t say anything more. With a wave of his hand, he shot out first, and the members of the Fire Pavilion closely followed behind him.
Ye Bingling, Mu Liu and Han Yuan also led the members of the other three pavilions and charged st
raight into the strong line of defense ahead.
Boom!
Genesis Qi erupted everywhere.
On the other hand, Zhou Yuan’s line of sight was fixed on the three figures on the distant mountain peak. All of a sudden, his figure skimmed through the air, speeding directly towards them.
Attacks of Genesis Qi broke out from the mountains and forest in an attempt to stop him, but he easily evaded them all.
Watching Zhou Yuan approach alone, Lu Hai burst into laughter. “Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, you want to kill us and get the flag single-handedly? Haha, how courageous!”
He gave a mocking laugh. “It doesn't matter. When we catch you, the Tianyuan Region will naturally collapse!”
With a wave of his hand, Lu Hai signaled to several figures to charge out from the forest to block Zhou Yuan, but after ten breaths, Zhou Yuan directly landed on the mountain peak amidst countless shocked gazes.
Lu Hai and the others narrowed their eyes, staring at Zhou Yuan. “Taking such a risk...chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, you are indeed impressive.”
“Have you heard about what happened to Chen Xuandong?” Zhou Yuan responded indifferently.
Lu Hai smiled. “You have recently risen to fame. Of course we know about your powerful strength. We know that you want to defeat us three alone to reduce Tianyuan Region’s loss. But have you thought about whether or not we would let you?”
“You think you can with just the three of you?” Zhou Yuan asked.
“Although I think the three of us are enough, what’s the harm of inviting more people since you’re so arrogant?”
Boom!
As his voice faded, two beams of incomparably fierce Genesis Qi suddenly shot into the sky from the mountain peak, stirring up a storm.
Two long howls of laughter rang out as two figures emerged on a cliff behind Zhou Yuan.
“We didn’t dare to show ourselves in case we scared you away, but it seems our worries were unnecessary.”
“Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan is courageous, but I don’t know if it’s from stupidity or fearlessness.” The two figures mockingly laughed as they blocked Zhou Yuan’s escape route.
Lu Xiao and the others also noticed the movements on the mountain peak, their expressions changing drastically. They didn’t expect there to be two super dark horses hiding. It was clear their opponents had come well prepared!
They were only waiting for Zhou Yuan to come forward!
But it was already too late to help Zhou Yuan. The 4,000 Divine Dwelling experts were already charging towards them from all directions.
Lu Xiao drew a deep breath, suppressing the chill inside him, and peered in the direction of the mountain peak.
“Zhou Yuan, the opponents have come prepared. You have to depend on yourself this time. I hope you can create a miracle!”
He focused his attention back to his immediate surroundings, his gaze turning fierce.
“Kill!” With a thunderous roar, he led many people to meet the people coming from all directions head-on.
Bursts of battle cries resounded.
Genesis Qi shook the mountains and forests.
Chapter 933 One Punch
In Fallen City.
Countless people fixed their eyes on the light mirror in the void above them. Mighty Genesis Qi was constantly erupting, and figures were locked in fierce battles.
The people of the nine regions were starting to break through their allotted paths.
“The strength of the Wanzu Region is indeed too terrifying. They easily tore down the line of defense composed of six top forces.”
“The six forces’ dark horses were also too afraid to appear in front of Zhao Mushen.”
“The gap in strength is too great, so how would they dare face the Wanzu Region?”
“There's no suspense anywhere else—”
“Wrong, there is a place where the suspense isn’t little...”
Someone roared with laughter and turned to look playfully at one side of the mirror. There, the mirror showed the people of the Tianyuan Region. Their number was fewer than the five forces they were against, but the Tianyuan Region’s Divine Dwelling experts were still significantly stronger. Therefore, even if they had a disadvantage in number, it was still difficult for the people of the five top forces to break through.
But…
Some people looked to the top of a mountain where five super dark horses surrounded Zhou Yuan.
“Zhou Yuan is really too arrogant. He even dared to take the risk alone. Does he really think his opponents wouldn’t be prepared?” Someone couldn’t help but shake his head. Zhou Yuan’s behavior was very reckless.
“He's trying to kill them and take the flag directly since his side is bound to suffer losses if they attack normally.”
“He’s too naive. What is he going to do? Lu Hai and the others are all Divine Dwelling heaven prides specially cultivated, and their strengths aren’t in the slightest inferior to Chen Xuandong’s. Now that the five have joined forces, no matter how strong Zhou Yuan is, he will inevitably lose!”
Countless people nodded secretly. It was unknown how many talents were hiding throughout Hunyuan Heaven, but the people ranked on the Divine Dwelling List was only a small fraction. It was only at these critical times that the dark horses would emerge and make people marvel at Hunyuan Heaven’s strength.
Zhou Yuan, who had been the brightest black horse, was now surrounded by several hidden dark horses.
Would Zhou Yuan, the super dark horse who had attracted untold attention, continue to advance, or would he be killed in the siege?
Many people were curious about the result.
.....
On the mountain summit, Zhou Yuan studied the five figures shrouded in pulsing Genesis Qi and sighed. “No wonder you are from Hunyuan Heaven’s top forces. You have concealed yourselves very well. Do you intend to attack together or alone?”
Lu Hai grinned. “Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, you don’t need to use such a lowly indirect psychological method to make us do what you want. We know that you aren’t weak, so we don’t plan to play with you one on one.”
Lu Hai was very cunning. He understood that their advantage lay in their numbers, so how would he give it up just because of Zhou Yuan’s taunts?
“Go! Let's first assess chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan’s strength,” Lu Hai thundered.
Boom!
As soon as his voice faded, five torrents of majestic Genesis Qi gushed out from all directions. They pierced through the void and roared towards Zhou Yuan, completely blocking his escape routes.
Lu Hai and the others launched a full-strength attack immediately, and their Genesis Qi lit up the void, forming a sky behind them full of Genesis Qi stars.
There were no less than 30 million Genesis Qi stars!
The joint attack of five people could be described as a terrifying earthquake of momentum.
If Zhou Yuan were still at the same level as when he had fought Chen Xuandong, their attack would most likely kill him!
But Zhou Yuan didn’t show any intention of evading their attacks, surprising Lu Hai and the rest. He instead stood there blankly.
“Well, since you want to die, you can’t blame us!” Lu Hai smiled coldly. In a fight among top Divine Dwelling experts, death and injury were inevitable. Even if Zhou Yuan was the chief pavilion master of Tianyuan Region, he could only blame himself for his stupidity.
Boom!
Under countless gazes, the five torrents of Genesis Qi repeatedly bombarded Zhou Yuan like enraged dragons.
The ground quaked, and the mountains trembled as though a huge mountain was crumbling.
The movements on the mountain summit stunned everybody below it. After they learned of the situation, the top five forces burst into cheers, while the members of the four pavilions couldn’t stop their expression from changing drastically.
Even Lu Xiao's heart sank. He also felt the attack from Lu Hai and the others, and he knew
that the five hadn’t held back. If he were to face an attack of that level, he would most likely be crushed to smithereens.
“Zhou Yuan was too careless!” Lu Xiao uttered, his expression dark.
They were already under great pressure, and if Zhou Yuan was defeated in front of so many people, it would no doubt have a huge impact on their morale.
Yi Qiushui and Ye Bingling all felt their hearts in their throats.
The Genesis Qi gradually receded from the mountain summit, and the smoke faded.
What first caught their eyes was a huge crack spreading out like a cobweb. It stretched across almost the entire mountain, and there was a dark pit in its center.
Seeing the crater, Lu Hai and the others’ pupils suddenly shrank because a figure was silently standing in the air above it.
It was Zhou Yuan!
His position hadn’t changed, and his body, just like a boulder, hadn’t budged an inch. Even his clothes were undamaged.
If it weren’t for the deep pit, everyone would have thought that the attack from Lu Hai and the others was just an illusion.
Zhou Yuan is unscathed!
Hua!
Exclamations of disbelief erupted, regardless if one was in the mountains or Fallen City.
The five’s joint attack didn’t harm Zhou Yuan?
How is that possible!
Even Lu Hai’s expression changed abruptly. “Impossible!”
Zhou Yuan fixed an indifferent yet piercing gaze at Lu Hai and the others. “If I had met you two months ago, you would have given me a headache, but unfortunately...”
He smiled. “You seem to have already lost your best chance.”
Boom!
The moment his voice faded, a dragon’s roar reverberating throughout the world. Mighty Genesis Qi erupted from his body, and azure-golden Genesis Qi lit up the void, revealing countless Genesis Qi stars.
38 million!
Astonishing Genesis Qi pressure overwhelmingly filled the sky, and it instantly suppressed Lu Hai and the others’ Genesis Qi.
Their expressions changed drastically. According to the information they had received, Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi foundation was just over 20 million when he had fought Chen Xuandong!
