Frightening Genesis Qi shock waves spread out from Li Zhu’s body, and three glass Heavenly Suns emerged behind him. Even the nearby ice trees crumbled under the pressure of Genesis Qi, turning into swirling ice crystals.
A foundation of 2.3 billion!
As soon as Li Zhu made a move, he revealed his Genesis Qi foundation, which was only slightly less than Qin Lian.
Li Zhu tilted his head and said, "When I saw you fighting Qianhu before, your Genesis Qi foundation skyrocketed to 2.3 billion, isn’t that right? It is amazing. When you reach the advanced Heavenly Sun stage, I believe only Qinglong will be able to suppress you. But unfortunately, you won't have that opportunity.”
Li Zhu folded his hands into a seal at lightning speed. The strings of beads on his wrist strangely penetrated his flesh, and then his Genesis Qi foundation suddenly soared.
2.35 billion, 2.4 billion. It finally stopped at the level of 2.5 billion.
It was evident that Li Zhu had activated a secret means to increase his Genesis Qi foundation.
As the 2.5 billion Genesis Qi stars erupted, they quaked and cracked the ground nearby. Standing atop a tree, Li Zhu peered down at Zhou Yuan and said indifferently, "No matter how great your potential is, that is the future. At least right now, you aren’t qualified to act tyrannical in front of me.”
Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes. It was as he expected: none of the people on the Heavenly Sun List were easy to deal with. Qianhu wasn’t even on the same level as Li Zhu.
"Do you think that’s all my trump cards? No, you are wrong.” Li Zhu didn’t stop after unreservedly displaying his Genesis Qi foundation. He looked pitifully at Zhou Yuan. "The rankings on the Heavenly Sun List haven't changed in a long time because I haven’t exposed all my strength. With the trump cards I currently have, even Qin Lian might not be able to suppress me.”
As he slowly lifted his hand, his palm suddenly split, blood streamed down, and a red bead made of unknown material rolled out.
Buzz!
The blood-red bead constantly expanded with the wind, like a mass of flesh squirming. After just a few breaths, it grew to a ten-foot-tall blood-red giant.
The giant exhaled blood-red mist, and its body was covered with complicated markings. The most astonishing thing was that the Genesis Qi exuding from its body also reached the level of 2.3 billion!
Zhou Yuan’s expression tensed up. He could tell that it should be a puppet, but it was very rare to see a puppet possess such powerful Genesis Qi.
"This is the Life Core Blood Puppet of my Yaogui Region. It has been nourished within my flesh for many years and now finally possesses some combat power. What do you think? With your strength, how can you go up against my Life Core Blood Puppet and me?”
Zhou Yuan nodded. It was no wonder why Li Zhu was so confident. Given his strength and his Life Core Battle Puppet, he wouldn’t be inferior to even Qin Lian.
"You are already weaker than me, and now you have to fight against two. What are you going to do?" Li Zhu sighed, looking pitifully at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan couldn't help chuckling seeing Li Zhu's arrogant face. "Who said I—”
“Who said he was fighting against two alone?”
Zhou Yuan was startled because he didn't say that. He turned his head and saw a beautiful and graceful figure standing behind him. That slender figure and sweet smile—who else would it be besides Su Youwei?
Su Youwei blinked her beautiful eyes at Zhou Yuan and said teasingly, "Your Highness, there is no one else here. You wouldn’t mind if I steal some of the limelight, right?”
She tilted her head slightly, pointed her beautiful finger to the blood-red puppet, and said with a smile, "I won't disturb you playing with him, but let me deal with that puppet!”
Zhou Yuan looked at Su Youwei, who was gazing at him in anticipation.
Su Youwei looked forward to fighting alongside Zhou Yuan because she hadn't experienced that feeling in many years.
As Zhou Yuan looked at the face that was much more beautiful and graceful compared to the past, his many memories in the Great Zhou Empire flooded out from his heart, bringing him bursts of warmth.
So, he nodded with a smile.
“Do you want to race to see who gets rid of their target first?”
Su Youwei's clear and mesmerizing eyes suddenly shone in the dim light of night, and a smile uncontrollably bloomed on her lips like a flower as she nodded vigorously.
“Okay!”
Chapter 1106 Su Youwei’s Strength
Li Zhu stood atop a tree as the giant blood puppet behind him exuded a monstrous evil aura and a terrifying power.
He stared at Su Youwei with a puzzled frown because, in his perception, Su Youwei was weaker than Zhou Yuan. Moreover, she was only at the intermediate Heavenly Sun stage.
She dares interfere in a battle of this level with her strength?
“The new generation of Heavenly Sun experts in Hunyuan Heaven are all so arrogant!” said Li Zhu indifferently. "My puppet doesn't know how to be gentle with a woman. If you don't want to die an ugly death, I advise you to stay still. I don't want to mistakenly kill you and have to explain it to Wang Xuanyang.”
Su Youwei ignored him and tilted her head while looking at Zhou Yuan. "Your Highness, do you want to see my Heavenly Sun?”
Zhou Yuan was indeed a little curious. Su Youwei was born with a Yin Yang Qi Dwelling and had refined the so-called ten Divine Dwellings after reaching the Divine Dwelling stage. Zhou Yuan was curious to know what bizarre things would happen after she broke through to the Heavenly Sun stage.
As Su Youwei folded her fair little hands together, waves of astonishing Genesis Qi abruptly rippled out from her body.
Behind her, two Heavenly Suns emerged as Genesis Qi rose into the air.
Surprised expressions crossed both Zhou Yuan’s and Li Zhu’s faces.
This was because they found that Su Youwei’s Heavenly Suns were neither glass nor colored, but black and white, like yin and yang disks. They seemed mysterious and unpredictable!
The black and white suns slowly rotated, like two yin and yang fish chasing each other.
“What kind of Heavenly Suns are those?
Zhou Yuan was a little dumbfounded because it was the first time he saw someone with black and white Heavenly Suns.
However, as Zhou Yuan thought more about Su Youwei's Yin Yang Qi Dwelling, a light dawned on him. Su Youwei was born compatible with yin and yang, and in a sense, her and Wang Xuanyang's Genesis Qi were the same.
However, the class between the two differed hugely.
Su Youwei's Yin Yang Genesis Qi was innate and natural and drew upon the most origin power between heaven and earth. On the other hand, Wang Xuanyang seized a woman's yin qi to strengthen his yang qi. His Yin Yang Qi was too inferior to even be compared to Su Youwei’s.
Zhou Yuan intently stared at the black and the white Heavenly Sun behind Su Youwei because he vaguely noticed something was on them. But he couldn't identify what it was with the naked eye, and so, after hesitating for a moment, he finally activated the Decoder Saint Rune.
As the Saint Rune swirled in the depths of his eyes, he finally saw some familiar-looking patterns on Su Youwei's Yin Yang Heavenly Suns.
They were dragon runes.
Dragon-Claw Heavenly Suns!
The corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth twitched. There are also dragon runes on Su Youwei’s Heavenly Suns, which means hers are also Dragon-Claw Heavenly Suns! But hers are rarer because there are transformations of yin and yang on her Dragon-Claw Heavenly Suns.
To be precise, her Heavenly Suns should be called Dragon-Claw Yin Yang Heavenly Suns!
"What a mouthful,” Zhou Yuan murmured. Through his Decoder Saint Rune, he could clearly spot three complete dragon runes on Su Youwei’s Heavenly Suns, indicating her Dragon-Claw Heavenly Suns were at the three-claw level, which was slightly lower than his.
But even so, it was still terrifying. After all, this was the first time Zhou Yuan
had seen anyone other than him reach such a level.
Qin Lian hadn’t even reached one claw.
Based on that, her Heavenly Sun should be considered an innate Dragon Claw Heavenly Sun with boundless potential, Zhou Yuan couldn’t help sighing emotionally as he stared at the beautiful and elegant girl in front of him. Who could imagine the miserable and desperate look that this remarkable girl had when Zhou Yuan first met her?
As he thought back to the thin little girl dragging her seriously ill grandfather in the torrential rain and sobbing in front of a clinic, his heart still ached.
"It seems that even if my Sacred Dragon Blessing was taken away, I’m still very lucky,” Zhou Yuan said suddenly with a smile.
Su Youwei’s big, bright eyes blinked puzzledly.
He added, "Otherwise, how would I have run into you back then?”
Su Youwei bit her lips and smiled sweetly. Zhou Yuan's figure was clearly reflected in her clear eyes, as though engraved into the depths of her spirit.
"Your Genesis Qi foundation should be around the level of 1.6 billion,” said Zhou Yuan after sensing the strength of the Genesis Qi exuding from Su Youwei's body. “But that level isn’t enough to fight the blood puppet.”
"Your Highness, don't worry. I have a secret method that supreme sovereign Zixiao specially created for me,” Su Youwei chuckled, her eyes and brows curving like a child showing off her favorite toy.
She swiftly folded her hands in a seal, and her fingertips glowed with specks of mesmerizing light.
“Yin and Yang Unite!"
As her voice faded, the two Yin Yang Heavenly Suns began to fuse, and when they completely merged, the strength of the Genesis Qi being emitted from Su Youwei's body soared.
1.7 billion, 1.8 billion, 1.9 billion…
In the end, it soared to the level of 2.2 billion!
An increase of 600 million!
Even Zhou Yuan inhaled sharply. This increase is too terrifying.
"It's a pity that my secret method can only last a short while,” remarked Su Youwei regretfully.
"Be content." Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes.
Su Youwei giggled. "Your Highness, I'll make a move first.”
She soared into the air with a slight graceful movement, and under Li Zhu's somewhat sullen gaze, a waterfall of Genesis Qi blasted towards the blood puppet.
Now that Su Youwei's Genesis Qi had soared to the level of 2.2 billion, which was still a little weaker than the blood puppet, the gap between them had mostly closed.
Therefore, Li Zhu didn’t dare to let his blood puppet be careless. With one thought, the blood puppet unleashed a deafening roar, and its tremendous body turned into a mountain-like shadow and shrouded Su Youwei.
Boom!
They collided in midair, resulting in an explosion of shock waves and rumbles of thunder.
There was a clear difference in size between the two, but the blood puppet still didn’t have much advantage over Su Youwei.
When Zhou Yuan saw Su Youwei handling the blood puppet with ease, he finally retracted his gaze and smiled at Li Zhu. "It seems that your two-against-one strategy has failed.”
Li Zhu glanced at Zhou Yuan and said indifferently, "After I capture you, she’ll realize that all her resistance is meaningless.”
Li Zhu folded his arms and peered down at Zhou Yuan. Su Youwei’s strength had indeed surprised him, but nothing more. A foundation of 2.2 billion couldn’t change the situation.
The battle on his side was the most important. He believed Zhou Yuan wouldn’t be able to endure the absolute suppression of his 2.6 billion Genesis Qi foundation.
Zhou Yuan simply grinned in response to Li Zhu's contemptuous look.
"Actually, she interrupted me before I even finished speaking.”
Li Zhu scrunched his brows.
As Zhou Yuan twisted his neck, the Heavenly Yuan Brush’s Promotion Rune gradually grew brighter.
“Who said—
“A foundation of 2.3 billion Genesis Qi stars was my limit?”
Li Zhu's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw a strange teasing expression spread over Zhou Yuan's face.
Chapter 1107 Great Battle Against Li Zhu
Boom!
As Zhou Yuan’s voice died away, the Heavenly Yuan Brush’s Promotion Rune erupted in blinding rays of light that were far stronger than any previous times. Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi foundation also soared at an astonishing rate as he activated the Promotion Rune.
As Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi foundation neared the 2.3 billion level, something happened that made Li Zhu's expression change drastically—the increase showed no sign of slowing down and continued to rise fiercely.
2.4 billion!
2.5 billion!
It was only when Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi foundation reached 2.5 billion that the increase gradually slowed.
As Zhou Yuan clasped the Heavenly Yuan Brush, his robe billowed around him, and the astonishing pressure exuding from his body continuously tore cracks into the ground.
He raised his head and looked at Li Zhu, who looked particularly dark and unpleasant under the dim light of night. Zhou Yuan grinned. “Are you satisfied now?”
He had never activated the Promotion Rune’s power to its peak during his training sessions with Qin Lian because it was never necessary. After all, Qin Lian wasn’t an enemy. This was the first time that Zhou Yuan fully activated the Promotion Rune after reaching the intermediate Heavenly Sun stage.
And the result of it undoubtedly surprised Li Zhu.
“So this is your foundation,” Li Zhu uttered, his expression dark. Who would have thought Zhou would conceal his strength so deeply?
"I already warned you to leave, and we can pretend we didn’t see you here earlier,” Zhou Yuan said.
However, Li Zhu snorted. As the strongest Heavenly Sun expert in the Yaogui Region, he was undoubtedly prideful. “So what you have a foundation of 2.5 billion Genesis Qi? It’s just the same level as mine. The final outcome of the battle remains to be decided!”
His eyes suddenly turned fierce and sharp, and with a flick of his sleeve, several beads shot out. They expanded as they met the wind and finally transformed into tremendous puppet beasts.
The giant beasts fixed their threatening eyes on Zhou Yuan.
Roar!
The ten puppet beasts pounced towards Zhou Yuan with murderous intent.
Zhou Yuan faintly smiled and lifted his hand. A silver sphere whirled in his palm and flowed out like a liquid till it turned into a silver figure identical to Zhou Yuan.
“Eliminate them,” commanded Zhou Yuan.
Silver Shadow immediately transformed into a silver lightning bolt and sped out. As it streaked across the air, crimson runes emerged over its silver body, and a blazing and ruthless aura erupted from them.
Great Flame Devil!
Bang!
Silver Shadow charged into the group of puppets, and as its silvery light flashed, it blasted the several giant puppet beasts back with terrifying combat strength.
Li Zhu’s face twisted with bewilderment when he saw his puppets be defeated in seconds. He stared at the silver figure in astonishment. He knew his puppets were unafraid of death and that even top-tier Heavenly Sun experts would be cautious in countering the giant puppets’ fierce and ruthless attacks.
But why is that mysterious silver figure even fiercer than my giant puppets? Also, from its movements, it seems unconcerned about being wounded.
That boy has quite a few means!
Swoosh!
A streak of cold light suddenly tore the space in front of Li Zhu, followed by platinum Genesis Qi, like a platinum dragon somersaulting in the air.
"Can you afford to be distracted at a time like this?" Zhou Yuan's laughter resounded with the cold light.
A mighty attack swept towards Li Zhu. His face grew overcast, and as his hand quivered, a golden umbrella appeared in his grip. Flowing with Genesis Qi, the umbrella sprang up and withstood the attack like a shield.
The Heavenly Yuan Brush’s snow-white tip pointed at the center of the umbrella, and sparks sputtered in all directions. Mighty platinum Genesis Qi battered the umbrella, causing the surface to ripple violently, but more Genesis Qi was expelled as the umbrella rotated.
The golden umbrella in Li Zhu's hand was clearly a top-tier Heaven Genesis Weapon capable of dissolving attacks.
Chi!
Zhou Yuan's expression remained unchanged. With a flick of his wrist, the brush tip multiplied into countless shadows and pelted down like torrential rain.
The mighty offensive split the space around, and ear-piercing booms echoed in the night sky.
Li Zhu snorted coldly, and the umbrella in his hand also shot out.
Countless shadows collided in the air.
In just a few breaths, they had fought hundreds of rounds.
In that kind of head-on collision, Li Zhu's expression gradually became a little unpleasant because he began to feel some pressure. Their Genesis Qi foundation was almost at the same level, but Zhou Yuan’s attack was more aggressive and domineering than his.
“Could this guy's Genesis Qi be grade 8?" Li Zhu studied the platinum Genesis Qi rising from Zhou Yuan's body and felt a dangerous aura.
The Yaogui Region’s cultivation techniques could be traced to the same origin, and the highest level was also grade 8. However, this level required great resources, and even if he had worked painstakingly hard for so many years, he had only cultivated top-level grade-7 Genesis Qi.
Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi could suppress him because his Genesis Qi grade surpassed his.
Clang!
The brush tip collided with the umbrella tip, and the two astonishing Genesis Qis clashed. The space around them crumbled, and two figures were blasted back.
Zhou Yuan pointed the Heavenly Yuan Brush towards the ground and, with a stamp of his foot, sent platinum Genesis Qi spiraling into the sky like billowing clouds.
“Heavenly Dragon Claw!”
The platinum Genesis Qi rapidly gathered and formed an incomparably huge dragon claw. Then, it fiercely slammed down. The dragon claw was covered in scales, glistening brightly.
