Liu Qingshu gritted her teeth, and her expression changed. “He’s just pleasing the crowd!”
She didn't believe that Zhou Yuan could accomplish this legendary feat!
In her view, Zhou Yuan just wanted to take away the brilliance that belonged to Zhao Mushen by challenging the limit. But this method was ridiculous, and everybody would laugh at Zhou Yuan's arrogance when he fails!
Under the close watch of countless blazing gazes, the void behind Zhou Yuan vibrated, and the number of Genesis Qi stars began to grow.
The increase wasn’t rapid, but it grew at a slow and firm rate.
Zhou Yuan’s foundation was only 10,000 away from 100 million, but to fill that gap still required the support of tremendous amounts of Genesis Qi. Fortunately for him, he possessed a great opportunity, namely the presence of the Earth Saint Rune and the Law Domain remains in the stone statue’s depths.
The refinement of each and every Genesis Qi star drew gasps of astonishments from throughout the world.
Even the veins on Zhao Mushen’s forehead were visibly throbbing. Although he didn’t turn his head once, he cast sidelong glances through the light shield towards Zhou Yuan’s direction.
“That bastard.” Zhao Mushen clenched his fists, then quickly retracted his gaze. I mustn’t be distracted. Otherwise, I will fall into Zhou Yuan’s scheme.That guy just wants to use this trick to make my breakthrough fail!
How would it be that easy to break the limit of 100 million?!
As long as he quietly completed his breakthrough, what was happening on Zhou Yuan’s side would be nothing more but a ridiculous show.
“Seven thousand!
“Eight thousand five hundred!
“Nine thousand three hundred!”
Astonished exclamations rang out under the starry sky as countless shocked eyes stared at the dazzling Genesis Qi stars in the void behind Zhou Yuan.
Finally, amidst the trembling voices, the Genesis Qi stars rose to 9,999.
Zhou Yuan's foundation was only one step away from breaking the 100 million limit!
Everyone shuddered at the sight.
Even the many Law Domain experts outside the Fallen Abyss wore solemn expressions on their faces. For people of their level, juniors of the Divine Dwelling stage were like children to them, and it was rare for their actions to attract their real attention.
But it was different this time. Even these Law Domain experts couldn’t break the 100 million level at the Divine Dwelling stage in the past.
If Zhou Yuan succeeded, he would have done enough for them to remember him.
And under countless watchful gazes, just when Zhou Yuan was one Genesis Qi star away from 100 million, the increase stagnated. It seemed Zhou Yuan still couldn’t pass the limit, regardless of the Genesis Qi’s strength and majesty as it poured into his body.
Countless people secretly sighed, but it wasn’t clear whether it was from disappointment or relief.
The one seemingly insignificant Genesis Qi star formed a barrier that was enough to make people feel despair. Perhaps there had also been remarkable heaven prides obstructed by one Genesis Qi star in the past.
Zhou Yuan's face also became extremely distorted.
He completely focused his mind on his Divine Dwellings. Suddenly, earth-shaking movements sounded from within his Divine Dwelling.
The boundless Genesis Qi seemed to have turned into a monstrous flood that caused havoc in the Divine Dwellings. It completely submerged them, causing the Divine Dwellings to no longer be able to withstand the Genesis Qi, and they began to produce faint cracking noises.
An intense pain spread throughout Zhou Yuan's body and almost tore him apart.
Zhou Yuan's mind was still solely focused on the 99.9 million Genesis Qi stars suspended within his Divine Dwellings. He was unwilling to be obstructed at the last step!
But no matter how he activated his Genesis Qi, he still failed to refine the last Genesis Qi star. The feeling was similar to an invisible chain restricting the Divine Dwelling’s limit.
The restriction could no longer simply be broken with abundant Genesis Qi.
“I won’t accept this!”
Zhou Yuan's growl echoed throughout the Divine Dwellings.
“Give me the last star!”
His roar contained incomparable determination and faith, and it was during that roar that the light sphere formed from the four Saint Runes seemed to be drawn by some kind of force. It began to vibrate within the Divine Dwellings. The four Saint Runes suddenly bloomed with a mysterious brilliance.
Even the mysterious and unpredictable fourth Saint Rune began to tremble.
The light sphere pulsed with ripples of sacred light. All the Divine Dwellings shook violently, as though the sacred light was fiercely colliding with some invisible restriction.
Zhou Yuan couldn’t see the mysterious collision, but he felt that he had to put all hope on the sacred light sphere if he wanted to refine the last Genesis Qi star!
“Saint Runes, help me!” Zhou Yuan yelled in his heart.
He knew that the four Saint Runes born from the Cangxuan Saint Stamp were incredibly ancient and were filled with intelligence. And in terms of grade, even the four ancient Genesis Runes within the Four Spirits Origin Tower couldn't compare to it.
As though the runes sensed Zhou Yuan’s cry for help, the light sphere suddenly vibrated even more fiercely while the four Saint Runes erupted with sacred light.
The Divine Dwellings shook incessantly, and the two sides seemed to have become deadlocked.
But in truth, Zhou Yuan was a little worried because the inside of his Divine Dwelling was too chaotic. If this continued, his Divine Dwellings could shatter any moment, which would be a real disaster for him!
“Four Saint Runes, hang in there!”
While Zhou Yuan was praying incessantly, the light sphere’s vibration suddenly came to a halt.
But the stillness only lasted for a moment before a dazzling ray of light burst from the Saint Rune sphere, hiding all movements. The berserk Genesis Qi raging like a flood in the Divine Dwellings also gradually subsided.
Zhou Yuan stared intently at the light sphere, wondering if it was an illusion, because he vaguely sensed that something seemed to be spinning inside it.
Bang!
Wrapped in mysterious force, the light sphere fiercely pounded the space above the Divine Dwellings.
It clearly struck nothing, but a faint crackling noise sounded.
The inside of the Divine Dwelling seemed to freeze.
Endless light poured down, and the flood-like Genesis Qi began to evaporate, turning into wisps of steam. A glimmer of light finally blossomed above the 99.99 million Genesis Qi stars. It erupted in a blaze of light.
The last Genesis Qi stars had appeared!
Chapter 988 One kick
The raging movements in Zhou Yuan’s Divine Dwelling came to an abrupt end.
The monstrous flood in the Divine Dwellings subsided like the end of a storm.
But Zhou Yuan’s attention wasn’t on that but on the brightest Genesis Qi star refined in his Divine Dwellings.
The star was dazzling, shining and far surpassing the other Genesis Qi stars.
100 million!
Even Zhou Yuan was filled with boundless joy seeing 100 million twinkling Genesis Qi stars before him.
He did it!
He had truly broken the Divine Dwelling stage’s limit!
Most importantly, the Saint Runes could only temporarily increase the strength of one’s Genesis Qi, yet the 100 million Genesis Qi stars flickering brightly showed no sign of disappearing. In other words, even if the Earth Saint Rune dissipated, Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi would remain at the same level and wouldn't return to the 93 million he had in the past.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan's foundation had reached 100 million!
One hundred million Genesis Qi stars flashed in the sky as light poured down overwhelmingly. Under that flowing light, Zhou Yuan could sen
se that his Divine Dwellings had grown. Moreover, there was a faint, glassy reflection of light at the end of his Divine Dwellings.
All his Divine Dwellings had become more vast and tough.
“It’s a glass crystal wall?”
Zhou Yuan was surprised to see the glint of glassy light at the boundary of his Divine Dwellings. Only when a glass Heavenly Sun opened up would a glassy light bloom in the Divine Dwellings. A Divine Dwelling with a glass crystal wall could accommodate greater amounts of Genesis Qi, and it could also speed up one’s cultivation of Genesis Qi. Not only that, the glass crystal wall had the ability to purify and obstruct any external Genesis Qi attempting to break into the Divine Dwellings to create trouble.
In a sense, Divine Dwellings with a glass crystal wall could protect themselves better.
It was just that one must reach the Heavenly Sun stage and refine a glass Heavenly Sun to possess a glass crystal wall. So why would it appear in Zhou Yuan’s Divine Dwellings?
Although his Genesis Qi stars had risen to 100 million, he could feel that he was still at the pinnacle of the Divine Dwelling stage. Otherwise, the millions of Genesis Qi stars would have formed a Heavenly Sun already.
Although puzzled, Zhou Yuan didn't care too much because he had broken the limits of the Divine Dwelling stage. It wasn't weird for some strange matters to occur.
Zhou Yuan refocused his mind on the Saint Rune light sphere suspended inside his Divine Dwelling and whispered, “Thank you.”
The four Saint Runes undoubtedly played a critical role in breaking the limit since ordinary objects couldn't collide with that invisible barrier.
The four Saint Runes from the Cangxuan Saint Stamp were indeed incomparably mysterious.
Buzz!
The light sphere released a ray of light as though in response to Zhou Yuan’s thanks.
Zhou Yuan smiled and withdrew his mind from the Divine Dwellings.
He stood quietly on the plain, his eyes slightly closed.
The countless Genesis Qi stars flickering in the void behind him had vanished unknowingly, and even the mighty Genesis Qi constantly emitted from his body had turned to nothing.
He stood there calmly and without a ripple of emotion, just like an ordinary person.
Countless puzzled and stunned gazes gathered on him.
“What happened? Why has all the Genesis Qi disappeared?”
“There isn’t the slightest wave of energy around. What's going on?”
“Did he fail and encounter an adverse reaction that caused his Genesis Qi to disperse completely?”
“That’s possible. After all, it isn’t that easy to push the limits.”
Countless whispering voices sounded as many people closely watched Zhou Yuan. They thought Zhou Yuan must have failed, and they had never imagined that Zhou Yuan would succeed.
Wang Xi, Li Tongshen, Jiu Gong and Yuan Kun, the top heaven prides, also wore bewildered looks. They similarly couldn't perceive what exactly had happened because even they had never dared to dream about breaking the limits.
On the Tianyuan Region’s side, Yi Qiushui, Ye Bingling and the others tensed up nervously, and their faces scrunched up in worry.
They understood that if Zhou Yuan succeeded, he would no doubt become Hunyuan Heaven’s most dazzling new star. But if he failed, it would definitely lead to mockery from jealous people.
“Did he fail or succeed?”
A deep frown creased Wu Yao’s brows, and her beautiful face changed indefinitely. Even she herself didn't know whether she hoped for Zhou Yuan to succeed or fail.
Su Youwei clenched her fists as she stared fixedly at the slender, motionless figure in the distance and whispered, “He definitely succeeded.”
Her voice was incomparably firm.
Many people from the Zixiao Region had said that she was the top heaven pride, but deep down, she knew that Zhou Yuan was the truly gifted one. He was born with the Sacred Dragon Blessing, and even if it was taken away, he changed himself a little and soared once again.
If even he couldn't push past the limit of the Divine Dwelling stage, no one else could.
Amidst these gazes, Zhou Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes turned an azure-golden color, and his pupils became similar to a dragon’s inverted pupil. An indescribable oppressive aura spread from him, causing the void itself to shake.
It was a strange phenomenon caused by the powerful World Subduing Heavenly Serpent Qi in his body.
Zhou Yuan clenched his hands lightly. The space around his fist trembled, forming cracks.
A Genesis Qi that was so powerful that it shocked even him was circulating within his body. The Genesis Qi was many times stronger than the previous 99 million Genesis Qi stars.
His foundation had only increased by 10,000, but there was a drastic difference in strength.
Under countless gazes, Zhou Yuan stretched his back and took a large step forward. With this step, he immediately appeared outside Zhao Mushen’s Genesis Qi light shield as though he had teleported.
Zhao Mushen stared intently at Zhou Yuan, his eyes flashing.
Zhou Yuan, stop pretending.
It is already impressive to win second place in the nine regions tournament.
But before Zhao Mushen uttered a word, Zhou Yuan lifted his hand and stretched it through the light shield with a smile. He applied a little force and, like tearing down a piece of paper, easily tore the Genesis Qi shield that combined the powers of Zhao Mushen, Wu Yao and Su Youwei
The world quietened, and even the winds seemed to freeze.
Zhao Mushen's voice was stuck in his throat.
Countless eyes were filled with great shock.
The fact that Zhou Yuan could easily tear apart the Genesis Qi light shield of three top Divine Dwelling experts was already enough to demonstrate everything.
Even the eyes of Wang Xi, Li Tongshen and the others were wide with disbelief.
Zhao Mushen stared dumbstruck at Zhou Yuan as Zhou Yuan strode towards him with a mocking smile.
“Your breakthrough isn’t complete yet?” Zhou Yuan said with a smile, glancing at the Genesis Qi stars that had begun to fuse in the void behind Zhao Mushen.
Zhao Mushen’s eyes flashed, and his voice was low as he said, “Zhou Yuan, you really are amazing. You actually achieved such a legendary thing!”
His expression was a little complicated because although he was extremely proud, his pride had been ruthlessly destroyed.
Zhao Mushen drew a deep breath and said, “If you’re brave enough, wait a moment. I want to see who is stronger, the you who broke the Divine Dwelling’s limit or me after breaking through! What do you think? Do you dare to wait!?”
Zhou Yuan tilted his head and smiled at Zhao Mushen’s provocative expression. Then, he suddenly spun around. His right foot was wrapped in terrifying Genesis Qi, and it instantly shattered the void. Zhao Mushen’s eyes widened in horror seeing Zhou Yuan aim a kick at his face.
Zhao Mushen’s nose instantly collapsed into his perfect face, which seemed to be carved by a knife. His face contorted and gushed with blood.
Bang!
Countless Genesis Qi stars exploded in the void behind Zhao Mushen, and his breakthrough was forcibly obstructed.
Bang!
His body blasted away upside down and smashed huge craters one after another into the ground. In the end, a thousand-foot-long ditch was left on the plain.
Zhao Mushen's body was like a tattered leather ball: buried in a deep pit, covered in blood, and with his skin split apart. He only had a faint breath of life left.
The entire world fell silent once again.
Zhou Yuan gently clapped his hands. He peered into the distance, laughing. “Isn’t it more efficient this way? Why would I wait for you to break through?”
Chapter 989 Zhao Mushen Eliminated
A deep thousand-foot-long mark had torn through the plain, like a scar on a beautiful jade-like face.
The entire wor
ld fell utterly silent.
Countless dumbstruck gazes stared at the end of the deep scar, where Zhao Mushen lay covered in blood and barely breathing. An incomparably miserable look had replaced the heroic spirit he had radiated when he was on the verge of breaking through to the Heavenly Sun stage.
No one had thought Zhao Mushen’s breakthrough would end in such a way: that Zhou Yuan would kick his face and interrupt his breakthrough.
Zhou Yuan’s kick also no doubt put an end to the tournament’s final battle.
As people stared at Zhou Yuan standing in the same spot as before, many eyes gradually filled with awe. Even Wang Xi and the others wore incomparably complex expressions, but there was also an undisguisable look of fear in their eyes.
They knew that the old Divine Dwelling king of Hunyuan Heaven had been defeated and would be replaced by a new Divine Dwelling legend.
This kind of replacement didn’t involve any schemes whatsoever. No one would dare question Zhou Yuan’s power after he had broken the Divine Dwelling stage’s limit. The fact that he had torn apart the Genesis Qi light shield that combined the Genesis Qi of Zhao Mushen, Wu Yao and Su Youwei was enough to explain everything.
The present Zhou Yuan could most likely beat Zhao Mushen, Wu Yao and Su Youwei together.
In the quiet world, the void around Zhao Mushen’s motionless body suddenly began to ripple, and a vortex swallowed his body.
Countless people stared speechless again because this indicated that Zhao Mushen was so severely wounded that it activated the mark within his body. It had formed a space vortex to kick him out of the Fallen Abyss. In other words, he had been eliminated.
Zhao Yuan had eliminated Zhao Mushen, who was thought to have the best chance of winning.
Countless people trembled at the result. Who would have thought that Zhao Mushen, who had dominated Hunyuan Heaven for so many years, would fail?
It was impossible.
Everyone on the Wanzu Region’s side fell into a trance-like state, particularly Liu Qingshu. Her expression changed indefinitely, and her voice turned sharp. “How is this possible!? How could my senior brother lose? It’s not fair! Zhou Yuan didn't wait for my senior brother to complete his breakthrough!”
