Boom!
Mighty Genesis Qi erupted, and the void trembled. The Genesis Qi was like a giant endless wave crashing down on Zhou Yuan with tremendous force.
Zhao Mushen had finally made a move.
Chapter 981 Zhou Yuan Against Zhao Mushen
Boom!
The moment that Zhao Mushen acted, universe Genesis Qi rolled in like dark storm clouds and spread towards Zhou Yuan’s direction.
The void trembled incessantly.
Zhao Mushen whirled his hand, gathering endless Genesis Qi in his palm as a nine-colored light shuttle took shape. The light shuttle quivered with endless sharp qi, which cut tiny traces into the surrounding air.
The nine-color light shuttle wasn’t unfamiliar to Zhou Yuan. Zhao Mushen had used it the first time Zhou Yuan had met him in a mini domain. But this nine-color light shuttle was clearly much stronger than the previous one.
“Nine Spirit Soul Breaker Shuttle!”
Zhao Mushen flicked his finger and sent the nine-colored silhouette shooting out. It pierced the void and zoomed towards Zhou Yuan!
Where the light shuttle passed, a shrill sonic boom rang out.
Zhou Yuan’s face didn’t ripple as he watched the nine-colored light rays rapidly expand before him. Zhao Mushen is quite interesting. He is starting the battle with this Genesis art. Does he want to remind me of how embarrassing I looked in our previous encounter?
In the void behind Zhou Yuan, astonishing Genesis Qi swallowed the 99.99 million Genesis Qi stars flickering brightly.
Zhou Yuan didn’t bring out any Genesis technique to counter the attack, and he instead let the nine-colored silhouette shoot closer to him. Then, he stretched his hand out and wrapped his arm with powerful Genesis Qi, forming a layer of azure-golden armor-like scales.
Bang!
He directly grabbed the nine-colored light shuttle with one hand.
Chi!
The nine-colored light shuttle madly released a powerful force in Zhou Yuan’s hand, but his fist was motionless like a boulder. The light shuttle looked like a fish caught in an eagle’s claw. No matter how it struggled, it couldn’t budge.
Expressionless, Zhou Yuan squeezed his hand.
Bang!
The nine-color light shuttle exploded and filled the sky with specks of light.
Zhou Yuan looked at Zhao Mushen indifferently and said, “If you wanted to use this to irritate me, you have instead made me look down on you, King of Hunyuan Heaven’s Divine Dwelling stage.”
As Zhou Yuan lifted his palm into the air, a sword orb slowly rose. Because Zhou Yuan had opened up all nine Divine Dwellings, the sword orb had also undergone considerable changes. It had turned crystal clear, like a diamond, and its new quality made the orb seem indestructible.
This transformation was a sign that he had mastered the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb.
“Sword Orb, differentiate.”
With a slight touch, the sword orb trembled and transformed into hundred of sword orbs. Then, as they shot out, wrapped in sword light, they took the form of hundreds of light swords.
Their sharp sword qi raged all over the world.
Buzz!
Hundreds of sword lights flashed out simultaneously, every one possessing tremendous power superior to the original sword orb!
The hundred beams of sword light streaked across the sky in a terrifying formation. Zhao Mushen stilled for a moment. Zhou Yuan now had the support of a powerful Genesis Qi foundation, and Zhou Yuan’s every attack was terrifying.
Zhao Mushen shook his hand, and a golden halberd appeared. He let out a long roar and met the attack head-on.
Clang!
The golden halberd erupted with dazzling rays of light and repeatedly clashed with the many sword lights, causing metallic clangs to ring throughout the world.
The two fought hundreds of rounds in just dozens of seconds.
Zhou Yuan's sword light offensive was fierce, but Zhao Mushen’s golden halberd was indestructible. No matter how the hundred sword lights struck, they couldn’t break the golden halberd’s defense.
Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but marvel at Zhao Mushen’s strength. Zhou Yuan should have had the upper hand based on the strength of his Genesis Qi foundation, but Zhao Mushen didn’t seem disadvantaged.
“Sword Orb, assemble!”
Zhou Yuan formed a seal with one hand and brought the hundred sword orbs gathering together again to form a light sword one thousand feet long in the void above him. The sword constantly buzzed and vibrated as it released a terrifyingly sharp aura.
This was the first time that Zhou Yuan had truly displayed the sword orb’s great power since he began cultivating the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb.
Boom!
The thousand-foot-long sword light slashed down, tore apart the void, and left a thousand-foot-long sword mark on the plain below.
The slash’s power made even Zhao Mushen’s expression change slightly. The fierceness of Zhou Yuan’s sword light, coupled with his foundation of 99 million Genesis Qi, made Zhao Mushen not dare to underestimate him.
Zhao Mushen formed a seal with both hands at lightning speed.
“Ancestral Spirit Hand!”
The golden light formation in the void behind Zhao Mushen suddenly flashed. Then, an ancient mottled hand stretched out and balled into a fist, like a fist of the gods. Wrapped in a terrifying storm of Genesis Qi, it collided with the sword light slashing down with devastating power.
Rumble!
The impact’s violent shock waves were like tremendous thousand-foot waves. They swept across the void and battered the film of Genesis Qi outside the stone statue, causing it to ripple frantically.
A disturbance of this scale made countless people’s scalps go numb.
The fierceness of the battle between Zhou Yuan and Zhao Mushen had exceeded the chaotic battle between the three kings before.
Boom!
The storm-like Genesis Qi shock waves shrouded Zhao Mushen. His face remained indifferent as he constantly made slashing motions with the golden halberd in his hand to forcibly destroy the many terrifying waves.
However, at this moment, Zhao Mushen’s pupils suddenly shrank because he saw a shadow flash across the void in front of him. A ghost-like figure was charging towards him.
It was Zhou Yuan!
Zhao Mushen had experienced Zhou Yuan’s shadow-like body technique during their first meeting, but because Zhou Yuan’s strength had rocketed, the body technique was much faster and more bizarre than before.
Zhou Yuan transformed into a shadow, and the sword orb in his hand turned into a three-foot azure sword wrapped in mighty sword qi.
Zhao Mushen’s eyes were piercing cold. He formed a seal with one hand, and a giant mottled hand stretched out again from the golden formation in the void behind him. The giant hand covered Zhao Mushen like an indestructible fortress.
At the same time, Zhao Mushen swiftly changed his seal, preparing an even stronger counterattack.
The sword orb in Zhou Yuan’s hand shot out and repeatedly bombarded the ancient mottled hand. But this only caused fierce vibrations and failed to blast the giant hand away. Zhao Mushen had clearly strengthened his defenses.
At the same time, Zhou Yuan could sense that powerful Genesis Qi was accumulating in the giant hand. His eyes flashed, and he sped out and appeared just before the giant mottled fist.
“Let’s see how hard your turtle shell is!”
With a loud roar, the more than 90 million Genesis Qi stars in the void erupted with dazzling rays of light, and a silvery liquid seeped out from his body. In just a few breaths, the liquid transformed into majestic silver battle armor.
Zhou Yuan’s imposing aura continued to soar.
Boom!
He clenched his hand and slammed a punch at the ancient fist.
His punch didn’t contain any showy movements, but the tremendous force caused the void to shatter into countless fragments.
Dong!
Al
ong with the deep rumble, a ripple spread out from the ancient giant fist. The void seemed to freeze for a moment. Then, the giant fist exploded into pieces.
Zhao Mushen's body was directly exposed. He, who had always remained calm and composed, revealed a look of horror. He didn’t expect Zhou Yuan to successfully break through his defense.
But he didn’t react slowly and drew back rapidly like a bolt of lightning.
Chi!
But when he moved, a silver-armored figure appeared behind him like a ghost.
“For that shuttle some time ago…I will return a fist to you!” Zhou Yuan’s voice rang out. Then, the iron fist covered in silver armor struck down like a bolt of silver lightning. It tore the void apart.
Zhao Mushen's face darkened. In the blink of an eye, three dazzling Divine Dwelling halos swiftly emerged behind him.
Bang!
The silver iron fist struck, and the three Divine Dwelling halos shattered in an instant.
Rumble!
Zhou Yuan's fist slammed into Zhao Mushen’s back, and a boom resounded throughout the void. Zhao Mushen’s figure blasted down like a cannonball, crashing into the plain. Smoke and dust filled the area and even buried his body.
There was utter silence under the starry sky.
Everyone stared at the scene in shocked disbelief. In their memory, this was the first time that Zhao Mushen was defeated so tragically ever since he had become the no. 1 person of Hunyuan Heaven’s Divine Dwelling stage.
Countless eyes immediately shifted to the slender silver-armored figure standing in the void. Everyone gulped, their eyes containing boundless awe.
If Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi foundation was said to have only been visually impressive before, then the real fighting power Zhou Yuan had just displayed made everyone understand one thing: he truly possessed the strength to challenge Zhao Mushen’s position.
Chapter 982 Self-harm
Smoke and dust filled the air above the plain.
The blast tore a deep ditch into the ground, and at the end of the ditch, the ground’s surface had cracked and showed signs of collapsing.
Countless eyes gathered on the deep ditch, all wide with shock. After all, it was extremely rare to see Zhao Mushen in such a miserable state.
But Zhou Yuan, who was standing in the void, didn’t show a hint of joy because of this. His eyes under the silver armor were staring coldly at the collapsed ground. Although his attack had been fierce, it would be underestimating Zhao Mushen, the king of the Divine Dwelling stage, to think he could be gotten rid of so easily.
Bang!
At the end of the ditch, the ground suddenly broke apart as an arm stretched out. A figure slowly climbed up.
Zhao Mushen’s upper garment was torn, blood trickled down the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were particularly sinister.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his body shook violently. The torn clothes crumbled to powder and scattered in the air, exposing his strong upper body. Light runes surfaced on his skin, resembling a layer of net covering his body.
A pale yellow color also emerged on Zhao Mushen’s skin, and an incredibly powerful force surged in his body.
Evidently, Zhao Mushen had also practiced bodily Genesis techniques.
Zhou Yuan carefully studied the mysterious net of light covering Zhao Mushen’s skin. That net was precisely what had neutralized the majority of his attack.
Zhao Mushen said indifferently, “This is my Wanzu Region’s Magnetic Xuan Net Technique, a top protection technique. This is why your sneak attack had little effect on me.
“Also, it's not really a good idea to touch my body.”
When his voice faded, he folded his hands together.
Boom!
A roar of Genesis Qi reverberated throughout the world. Zhou Yuan threw his head back and saw a tremendous golden light formation appear thousands of feet above him. The formation rotated swiftly, swallowing the Genesis Qi across the world, and it exuded a terrifying wave of energy.
“Little Saint Art, Unrestrained Golden Light!”
The golden light formation unleashed a deafening roar before it erupted with a tremendous light beam. The beam shot down towards Zhou Yuan at an astonishing speed, like an enraged golden dragon.
Boom!
The golden light cracked the void where it passed, and swallowed the shattered fragments, boosting its power.
Zhou Yuan’s pupils shrank. Zhao Mushen is indeed a heaven pride carefully cultivated by the Wanzu Region. The number of little Saint Arts he has practiced is endless. In terms of treatment, he is treated much better than me, an official disciple of the Tianyuan Region’s supreme sovereign.
When the golden light descended, Zhou Yuan could clearly feel the frightening power it contained. With a flash, he transformed into a shadow and vanished.
Although his figure had disappeared, the golden beam didn’t slow down and constantly wreaked havoc in the void.
Zhou Yuan’s shadowy face was overcast because he found that the golden light beam could accurately determine his location no matter how he evaded.
He used a special method to mark my location when we made physical contact.
Zhou Yuan sighed inwardly. Zhao Mushen was really difficult to deal with. It was no wonder Zhao Mushen said it was not a good idea to touch his body.
Boom!
The dragon-like golden light beam constantly changed its direction in the void above, leaving behind streaks of light. From this scene, everyone knew that Zhao Mushen was infuriated and that he was counterattacking with a killing move to force Zhou Yuan to flee in embarrassment.
Liu Qingshu and the other Wanzu Region disciples secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Previously, when Zhou Yuan had slammed a punch at Zhao Mushen, their hearts had jumped into their throats. Fortunately for them, Zhao Mushen was strong enough to withstand the attack and hadn’t been wounded. He then took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, the Unrestrained Golden Light.
This little Saint Art was well-known throughout the Wanzu Region, and Zhao Mushen had spent many years mastering it. Its power was extraordinary.
Now that Zhou Yuan was marked, the Unrestrained Golden Light would fall on his head regardless. Zhao Mushen had to get revenge for what had happened before.
Liu Qingshu gritted her teeth and said, “You’re dreaming if you think you can win against my senior brother!”
In her heart, Zhao Mushen was almost invincible. In all these years, no matter what kind of strong enemy Zhao Mushen faced, they were all ultimately defeated at his feet and added to his famous reputation. This time, it would be no exception!
On the Tianyuan Region’s side, Ye Bingling, Yi Qiushui, Lu Xiao and the others tensed up nervously, and their eyes unblinkingly followed the dragon-like golden beam. They rarely had the chance to interact with a powerful Genesis technique such as a little Saint Art. This rarity was enough to show that its power should absolutely not be underestimated.
Chi!
Zhou Yuan's figure constantly transformed into shadows and sped to and fro, but as time passed, he found that the Unrestrained Golden Light was moving much more quickly.
“I can’t dodge any longer,” Zhou Yuan muttered to himself, but he didn’t seem panicked. Although he had constantly evaded the attacks, he had also been preparing for a counterattack.
And now, it was almost time.
You are not the only one with a little Saint Art.
Zhou Yuan folded his hands together, and the Genesis Qi within his body pulsed and whizzed from him like a torrent.
Boom!
Thunder suddenly rumbled, and his figure suddenly flashed and appeared from the void.
“You’re not going to run away anymore?” Zhao Mushen's eyes were cold.
Bang!
The golden beam rumbled down with a strange vibrating buzz. Its sound waves had the power to shatter the Spirit. If it were someone with a weaker Spirit instead of Zhou Yuan, the golden light would have s
hattered their Spirit with its sound before it landed.
The golden beam rapidly grew in front of Zhou Yuan.
Just as the light beam was no more than one hundred feet away from the top of his head, Zhou Yuan flung his sleeve. A clap of thunder echoed in the sky.
“Yin Yang Lightning Rune!”
Boom!
A black-and-white white divine lightning bolt shot out from Zhou Yuan’s sleeve, stunning the onlookers. The lightning sharply ascended with the wind and transformed into a tremendous black-and-white lightning dragon. Its roar tore apart the void.
Rumble!
The golden light beam repeatedly collided with the black-and-white lightning.
The whole world seemed to still for a moment. Then, waves of light blanketed the world, violently quaking the void.
In the void, the two little Saint Arts frantically collided hundreds of times. Each collision caused the sky to tremble and the ground to crack.
But in the end, the two little Saint Arts couldn’t do anything to each other, and as their Genesis Qi was exhausted, they gradually dispersed from the world.
Zhao Mushen wrinkled his brows. He didn’t expect Zhou Yuan to withstand his Unrestrained Golden Light. This guy is really troublesome.
It seems I have to be even fiercer.
Zhao Mushen indifferently stared at Zhou Yuan standing in the void. Suddenly, he opened his mouth, and his golden halberd rose into the sky, hovering in the void like a golden python. It produced sharp booms.
The golden halberd danced in the air at lightning speed, then suddenly blasted down. Zhao Mushen stretched out his hand as if to catch the golden halberd.
“No!” Zhou Yuan's eyes suddenly shrank. He knew that something was wrong when he saw the golden halberd speed straight down without slowing.
Although he didn’t know what Zhao Mushen was up to, Zhou Yuan instinctively waved his sleeve and shot out a stream of Genesis Qi to engulf the golden halberd.
The corners of Zhao Mushen's lips curved in a strange arc, and the golden halberd’s descent sharply quickened.
Puchi!
The golden halberd ultimately pierced Zhao Mushen’s chest under countless horrified gazes and nailed his body to the ground. A hideous wound appeared on his body, gushing out blood wildly.
