Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

by Translator: Yeow

  No one thought that Zhou Yuan, whom they were very worried about, would reverse the situation in the blink of an eye!

  The eyes of the members of the four pavilions all sparkled with excitement.

  Zhou Yuan cast a glance at the light tower in the distance and said, “That technique is interesting, but I have never heard that any of your five forces possessed such a technique.”

  The light tower was indeed a very dangerous attack. Otherwise, Zhou Yuan wouldn’t have chosen to evade it.

  When Lu Hai heard Zhou Yuan’s words, his heart shuddered, and he coldly hissed, “Don’t underestimate other people. Although we aren’t as strong as the Tianyuan Region, we aren’t weak in Hunyuan Heaven!”

  Zhou Yuan didn’t respond. These five people were from five different forces, but they had practiced a secret art together? He of course didn’t believe it.

  Moreover, all their preparations had targeted him and the Tianyuan Region. There was no way that Zhou Yuan would believe there was nothing fishy about this.

  What kind of person in Hunyuan Heaven could command five top forces?

  Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed, but he didn’t say anything else. “The battle is over. Withdraw the tower.”

  With sword light floating behind their heads, although Lu Hai and the others were reluctant, they had no choice but to obey. With one thought, the light tower in the distance began to disintegrate, then turned into waves of Genesis Qi and receded.

  But when the waves of Genesis Qi neared Lu Hai and the others, Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly made a move. Hair gushed out from his palm, penetrated the four waves of Genesis Qi and wrapped around the fragments inside.

  Zhou Yuan flicked his sleeve, and dozens of shimmering fragments flew towards him.

  This change happened in the blink of an eye. Lu Hai and the others all stood stunned, but then their expressions changed drastically. “Zhou Yuan, you dare take our treasure?”

  They hadn’t expected Zhou Yuan to seize their treasure!

  Chapter 936 Passed

  The hair twisted around the fragments and gathered them in Zhou Yuan’s palm.

  Although Zhou Yuan could clearly see the fragments, it was hard to tell what sort of materials the fragments were made of. What he knew was that they were engraved with badly damaged ancient runes and exuded an indescribable, powerful energy.

  As he studied the fragments, his pupils suddenly shrank because he identified that the fragments were parts of some kind of Saint treasure!

  It was no wonder that he felt a dangerous energy.

  But he didn’t know where Lu Hai and the others got their hands on them. Moreover, the damaged Saint treasure fragments had clearly undergone some powerful and remarkable refinement. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Lu Hai and the others to summon a light tower possessing such a powerful suppression technique.

  “Zhou Yuan, how dare you take our treasure!”

  Lu Hai’s and the others’ expressions changed drastically. “You better return it; otherwise, our top forces will ask the Tianyuan Region for an explanation!”

  They circulated the Genesis Qi wildly within their bodies.

  But Zhou Yuan maintained an indifferent expression. The sword light hovering behind Lu Hai’s and the others’ heads pierced forward half an inch, entering the backs of their heads without delay. Blood trickled down.

  Feeling the sharp pain, the four widened their eyes in fear and immediately stopped circulating their Genesis Qi. They didn’t dare to move an inch.

  “Do you really think I won’t kill you?” Zhou Yuan said indifferently.

  But it was his indifferent tone that made Lu Hai and the others shudder. It was only after a good while that Lu Hai uttered with some difficulty, “Zhou Yuan, you have already won. Why do you have to make it so ugly?”

  They knew that the fragments were fragments of a Saint treasure that had undergone a powerful refinement. More importantly, the object didn’t belong to any of their five forces. If they were to lose it, it would be difficult for them to explain it to the owner.

  Zhou Yuan studied the suspended fragments in his hand and paid no attention to Lu Hai. He pondered for a moment and suddenly flicked his fingers.

  Chi!

  The sword light blazed brightly, piercing into their heads as horror filled their eyes.

  “Ah!”

  They let out a wailing scream of terror, but they didn’t pass through death’s door. They each frantically shifted their gazes inward and found a sharp sword raging in their brain and bringing them sharp pain. They also found that the Genesis Qi within their bodies was becoming more and more disorderly.

  For a moment, they couldn’t move an inch, so they frantically tried to operate their Genesis Qi with all their strength to expel the sword qi in their brain.

  Zhou Yuan expressionlessly walked by the four people.

  Lu Hai could feel Zhou Yuan’s presence, but he didn’t want to divert his attention to other things. He knew that their mission was already a complete failure, but they couldn’t let Zhou Yuan take away the Saint treasure fragments that they were given. The pieces were indeed not something a few Divine Dwelling experts could possess, even if they were just fragments.

  Therefore, while Lu Hai desperately tried to expel the sword qi that was causing havoc in his mind, he could only helplessly and heartachingly watch Zhou Yuan’s figure move farther and farther away.

  And in their eyes, Zhou Yuan wasn’t in a hurry to seize the flag. Instead, he appeared on the distant collapsed mountain summit.

  With the wave of his sleeve, Genesis Qi whirled up and lifted the boulders away.

  Very soon he saw the super dark horse of the Venomous Dragon Palace whom he had blasted into the mountain.

  Zhou Yuan brought out the dozen pieces of Saint treasure fragments in his hand and suspended them around the dark horse’s body. He immediately noticed some abnormal movements within his body before multiple fragments shot out from him.

  Zhou Yuan gave a satisfied smile upon seeing this.

  These five guys each held several pieces of the same Saint treasure, which some supreme person must have refined. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for a few Divine Dwelling experts to display the power of a Saint treasure.

  These fragments were exactly what Zhou Yuan was interested in.

  If used well, the Saint treasure fragments would undoubtedly become one of his killing weapons.

  The nine regions tournament was right in front of him, and a great battle was inevitable; therefore, it was good to have another trump card.

  With a wave of his sleeve, Zhou Yuan stored the fragments and ignored the super dark horse who was still in an unconscious state. He only moved slightly but immediately reappeared next to the huge flag. He stretched out his hand and swiftly pulled it down.

  Rays of light flowed around the flag.

  Zhou Yuan shook his hand, and the light descended and formed a scroll of light in the palm of his hand.

  This scroll was the pass to enter the Fallen Abyss.

  Zhou Yuan held the scroll in his hand, turned around and descended the mountain. As he lifted the scroll, it erupted in dazzling rays of light.

  The 2,000 people of the Tianyuan Region saw this scene, and they burst into deafening cheers and applause.

  “Chief pavilion master is so powerful!”

  “Chief pavilion master is invincible!”

  When the scroll fell into Zhou Yuan’s hands, it symbolized that the Tianyuan Region had successfully passed through the Sever Nine Dragon round and obtained the eligibility to enter the Fallen Abyss and compete with the other eight regions!

  But everyone was well aware of the role that Zhou Yuan played in passing this round. If he hadn’t taken the flag, they would have had to suffer a huge price in order to win.

  Lu Xiao wore a complex expression on his face.

  “Fortunately, you’re not the chief pavilion master; otherwise, the Tianyuan Region would have be
en finished,” Han Yuan remarked quietly.

  The corners of Lu Xiao’s mouth twitched, but in the end, he didn’t refute Han Yuan’s statement. After meeting the super dark horses hidden in the top forces, he understood how arrogant he was before. His strength was at best on the same level as Lu Hai, but if he were to face five enemies of the same level simultaneously, it would have been impossible to win.

  But Zhou Yuan was able to win.

  This was enough to show that Zhou Yuan’s ability was much better than his.

  Compared to the soaring morale on the Tianyuan Region’s side, the top five forces’ people hung their heads low in shame. They had done so much preparation, but they had still ended up failing in the end.

  Zhou Yuan swept his eyes over the five top forces and indifferently uttered, “Everyone, make way.”

  In the mountains, thousands of people looked at one another and eventually retreated dejectedly.

  Zhou Yuan shifted his gaze to the people of the Tianyuan Region and said indifferently, “Everybody of the Tianyuan Region, follow me to explore the Fallen Abyss. I don’t know how many people want to see my Tianyuan Region fall from the throne, but I want everybody of Hunyuan Heaven to know that my Tianyuan Region is still one of the nine regions!”

  The eyes of the 2,000 people of the Tianyuan Region blazed with excitement.

  A loud and orderly roar resounded through the mountains, “We will follow the chief pavilion master’s orders!”

  Zhou Yuan turned around, holding the scroll in one hand, and sped away from the mountains.

  Swoosh!

  Behind him, thousands of figures streaked across the sky. It was a spectacular scene.

  .....

  Beyond the boundless mountain range.

  The distant sky and ground were shattered and cracked. Rivers dropped from the sky, and towering mountains were upside down. It was as if even the basic rules had been altered. It was a mysterious place.

  That was the Fallen Abyss, the place where many Law Domain experts had fallen.

  At this moment, on the Fallen Abyss’s periphery, eight different groups of people were standing separate.

  They were the people of the eight regions.

  They had broken through the Sever Nine Dragons round and had gathered outside the Fallen Abyss.

  Several of them peered at the mountain range with ruminative expressions because the people from the Tianyuan Region still hadn’t appeared.

  Could they have failed the first round? If they had, it would be fascinating. In so many years, when had the nine regions been defeated in the first round, the Sever Nine Dragons?

  Xu Ming smiled contemptuously.

  Jiu Gong also shook her head. It seems that the Tianyuan Region really had bad luck.

  Zhao Mushen seemed unconcerned.

  Wu Yao remained calm and composed, and she similarly didn’t glance at the mountain once. If Zhou Yuan failed, it would indeed be a little disappointing. But she knew that it was impossible for a little Sever Nine Dragons round to stop someone who could persevere and turn around their past hopeless situation.

  Only Su Youwei clenched her hands tight, and a worried frown crossed her face.

  Everyone had different expressions.

  It was then that Zhou Yuan led the people of the Tianyuan Region through the mountain fog and appeared formidably in front of everybody.

  Chapter 937 The Show Begins

  When the people of the Tianyuan Region tore through the fog and appeared outside the Fallen Abyss, the eight regions’ gathered people were speechless for a good moment.

  The majority of their faces were twisted with shock and disbelief.

  “They broke out?!”

  “And it doesn’t seem like they suffered much loss...”

  “What happened? Are the Scarlet Cloud Sword Sect, the Venomous Dragon Palace and the others all so useless?”

  “They shouldn’t be. Their combined forces shouldn’t be weaker than the Tianyuan Region, so how could they fail?”

  “......”

  Puzzled murmurs spread among them. It was clear that many people were particularly suspicious about the Tianyuan Region passing the Nine Sever Dragons.

  Xu Ming narrowed his eyes and curled his lips as he uttered indifferently, “Lu Hai and the others are really useless. They couldn’t even get rid of one Zhou Yuan.”

  On the Wushen Region’s side, Wu Yao’s phoenix eyes flickered when she sensed the movements behind her. But she didn’t turn her head because she already knew the answer.

  Lan Ting and Zhao Yuanxiao, who were beside her, coldly watched the Tianyuan Region approach.

  “Zhou Yuan is indeed quite capable.” Lan Ting frowned.

  The joint attack of Lu Hai and the others wasn’t considered weak, and it would have been difficult for Lan Ting and Zhao Yuanxiao to win against them, but Zhou Yuan was able to break through them and reach the Fallen Abyss. It seemed that they needed to reassess Zhou Yuan’s strength.

  “Don’t praise other people. Lu Hai and the others might have the advantage in numbers, but they have a fatal weakness: alone they are weak. I believe Zhou Yuan struck them one by one,” Zhao Yunxiao said indifferently.

  Lan Ting nodded.

  Zhao Yunxiao turned his head to look at Wu Yao and smiled. “Junior sister Wu Yao, if we run into Zhou Yuan in the Fallen Abyss, don’t be mad that we won’t be giving you your chance.”

  There wasn’t a ripple of emotion on Wu Yao’s beautiful face. How could she not hear the malice in Zhao Yuanxiao’s voice? She didn’t say much. “Whatever, as long as you have confidence in yourself.”

  Lan Ting smiled. “Could it be that junior sister Wu Yao, you think we can’t deal with him?”

  Wu Yao didn’t bother replying. She closed her eyes slowly like a proud phoenix.

  Both Lan Ting and Zhao Yuanxiao possessed incredible strength, but Zhou Yuan was a demon-like being. The fact that he could break through Lu Hai and the other’s obstruction further showed that his combat strength wasn’t simple.

  Lan Ting and Zhao Yunxiao exchanged a glance with one another, but they couldn’t refute Wu Yao. The two were both Wushen Region heaven prides. If it weren’t for the fact they had to conceal their strength in preparation for the nine regions tournament, they would have already been known throughout Hunyuan Heaven.

  Zhao Mushen also sensed the movements behind him, but he didn’t turn his head, either.

  Liu Qiushu, who was next to him, raised her brows slightly and remarked, “It’s really surprising that the Tianyuan Region broke through the Scarlet Cloud Sword Sect and the other four top forces.”

  Standing with hands clasped behind his back, Zhao Mushen said indifferently, “Everyone underestimated Zhou Yuan’s strength.”

  Liu Qingshu smiled, eyes filled with admiration. “He is quite strong, but there is still a huge gap between you and him.”

  In her view, Zhao Mushen was the nine regions tournament’s true protagonist. Although Zhou Yuan was somewhat capable, he was only a little star. If he was lucky enough to meet Zhao Mushen, he would perhaps face a devastating defeat.

  Zhao Mushen smiled and didn’t add more to the meaningless topic. He didn’t feel any disdain or contempt for Zhou Yuan because Zhou Yuan was never worth anything in his eyes.

  If it hadn’t been for the fact that the Wanzu Region’s supreme sovereign had given him an order when he left, he perhaps wouldn’t have paid any attention to him at all.

  He had come to the Fallen Abyss this time to break through to the Heavenly Sun stage, but he understood that he was the present king of the Divine Dwelling stage. If he stepped into the Heavenly Sun stage, his brilliance would dim because there were far too many top Heavenly Sun experts in Hunyuan Heaven. They were all once kings of the Divine Dwelling stage, just like him.

  Therefore, if Zhao Mushen wanted to be just as dazzling in the Heavenly Sun stage, he needed to refine the most flawless glass Heavenly Sun. It was his purpose for coming to the Fallen Abyss
.

  “Glass Heavenly Sun...”

  Zhao Mushen’s eyes flashed, and he immediately glanced at Wu Yao and Su Youwei. His eyes drooped, an inexplicable look on his face.

  On the Zixiao Region’s side, Su Youwei stared fixedly at the familiar figure leading the Tianyuan Region’s people through the fog. Finally, she could relax her clenched hands. A smile bloomed on her stunning face.

  Xue Jingtao’s face immediately darkened when he saw that smile. Although Su Youwei was usually cheerful and treated everybody well, he could feel that this smile was very different. Zhou Yuan had a very different status in her heart, and it made him envious.

  Xue Jingtao, however, didn’t show his envy. He retracted his gaze and calmly stared at Zhou Yuan’s figure in the distance. Deep in his eyes, cold killing intent gleamed for an instant.

  How dare you covet our Zixiao Region’s beautiful pearl? You just passed the Sever Nine Dragons round. There is nothing to be proud of. When you enter the Fallen Abyss is when the Tianyuan Region will cry.

  ...

  Amidst those complicated gazes, Zhou Yuan led the Tianyuan Region people through the fog and landed on a mountain.

  Zhou Yuan didn’t care too much about those secret malevolent gazes because he knew that the majority wanted to see the Tianyuan Region crumble and fail in the Sever Nine Dragons round.

  Zhou Yuan, however, didn’t need any help in the nine regions tournament. He planned to rely on his own strength to face everything himself.

  Boom!

  Once the people of the Tianyuan Region appeared, the nine regions gathered together once again. An endless wave of Genesis Qi spread out in the void above, and then figures emitting terrifying pressure emerged slowly.

  They were the various regions’ Law Domain experts.

  Chi Jing immediately cast her gaze towards Zhou Yuan, and a relieved smile lit up her face. As for Zhao Xiansun, he was also smiling, but when his eyes met Zhou Yuan’s gaze, he looked ruminative.

  Boom!

  The world quaked violently after the nine regions’ Law Domain experts appeared.

  Endless Genesis Qi gathered at their fingertips, as though vaguely turning into dazzling beams of light. The Genesis Qi was refined and compressed to a terrifying level.
