With a howl of rage, Ning Zhan swiftly took out a robe from his spatial bag and put it on. He didn’t dare to provoke Li Chunjun again. That guy's sword qi is so painful when it strikes!
“You deserved it,” remarked Zhen Xu. That guy is so stupid to say it out loud. He should be smarter like me and keep it to himself. But even as such thoughts appeared in Zhen Xu’s mind, he still felt Li Chunjun’s piercing sword-like gaze lock onto him.
Zhen Xu said with a frown, “Blind Sword, don’t go too far. Can’t I even think about it?”
Veins throbbed on Li Chunjun's forehead, and then, a gush of sword qi swept towards them.
In midair, after staying silent for a long while, Mu Wuji finally said with difficulty, "This is too abnormal, right?"
Although Chu Qing was equally stunned, he soon snapped out of it when he recalled the many miracles that Zhou Yuan had created in the past. He shrugged his shoulders, saying, “In truth, it can be regarded as normal. Junior brother Zhou Yuan actually did many similar things in Cangxuan Heaven.”
Mu Wuji couldn't help saying, “But Wei Tou is a powerful enemy with a Genesis Qi foundation that can reach 2.9 billion! That’s 2.9 billion! You know that no one in Cangxuan Heaven at the Heavenly Sun stage has ever reached that level in hundreds of years. Zhou Yuan defeated someone of that level with a kick.”
His flushed face showed how greatly Zhou Yuan’s victory impacted him.
Chu Qing also understood his words and said with a smile, "But doesn’t our Cangxuan Heaven have one now? Besides, it was you who introduced him to the sect. Speaking of which, you made a great contribution to the sect.”
Although Zhou Yuan was now cultivating in Hunyuan Heaven, he was born in Cangxuan Heaven. This was an unchangeable fact.
Mu Wuji was taken aback and then immediately grinned. “You’re right.”
However, they had to admit that their tensed-up hearts gradually relaxed after Zhou Yuan's kick.
Zhou Yuan showed the various forces in Cangxuan Heaven that he was capable of reversing the almost-overturned situation with his strength.
Compared to the incomparable shock the various forces from Cangxuan Heaven felt, the Sacred Race team was extremely enraged and frightened. Their angry and cold gazes shot toward Zhou Yuan like blades.
The Sacred Race was arrogant and regarded all other races as dogs, so they had a condescending attitude even when they faced the Tianyuan Region. They thought that Wei Tuo would instantly defeat Zhou Yuan and kill him, but who would have expected that Wei Tuo would suffer a crushing defeat?
The contrast was too great that it was too hard for the Sacred Race to accept. However, in addition to shame and anger, there was also fear in their hearts.
After all, they had witnessed Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi soar to the level of 3 billion. It was almost impossible for an intermediate Heavenly Sun expert to have such a foundation. After witnessing such a power, even the Sacred Race’s heaven prides had to admit that Zhou Yuan was indeed a great enemy!
But Wei Tuo was defeated, and it was unlikely that any of them could suppress Zhou Yuan. As a result, everyone cast hopeful gazes toward Ji Mo.
Under those many gazes, Ji Mo retracted his indifferent gaze from Wei Tuo’s miserable-looking body in the distance. He waved his hand, and several Sacred Race experts darted out to retrieve Wei Tuo, who was seriously wounded.
Ji Mo shifted his gaze to Zhou Yuan and said indifferently, "I really underestimated you. I didn't expect there to be a person like you in the human race.”
Even Ji Mo was a little apprehensive of Zhou Yuan, a talent who could reach such a level at the intermediate Heavenly Sun stage. Among the Sacred Race’s four heavens, only the sacred heaven prides from the strongest Shengzu Heaven could compare to him.
Killing intent uncontrollably rose from the bottom of Ji Mo’s heart. That boy is only at the intermediate Heavenly Sun stage, yet he possesses such strength. If he reaches the advanced Heavenly Sun stage, he will likely reduce the Sacred Race’s harvest in Guyuan Heaven.
He previously thought that Zhou Yuan wasn’t qualified to show up here, but now he had to admit his mistake. Zhou Yuan’s victory had greatly raised the morale of Cangxuan Heaven and the Tianyuan Region and had impacted the Sacred Race’s morale. The situation could spiral out of control if he didn't stand up soon.
Ji Mo fixed his eyes on Zhou Yuan and said, “You are now qualified to play with me. How about this: if you can endure one of my attacks, I will let go of the entire Cangxuan Heaven? What do you say? Do you dare accept this challenge?”
A smile bloomed on Zhou Yuan’s face. "Your thoughts are the same as mine. How about you take one of my moves?”
The two stared at each other and smiled, but the killing intent beneath each smile was almost palpable.
At that moment, a rainbow light emerged in the depths of Zhou Yuan’s eyes.
The vertical rune on the center of Ji Mo's brows also squirmed slightly.
An austere atmosphere filled the entire valley, and even the great river running through the valley basin was on the verge of freezing.
Chapter 1129 Sacred Pupil
When the austere atmosphere spread out from between Zhou Yuan and Ji Mo, everyone within the great valley drew back simultaneously.
At that moment, even the arrogant Sacred Race team members grew more cautious because Zhou Yuan’s strength gave them no choice but to erase their previous arrogance.
Both sides didn’t want to start a war because they knew that they would both suffer great losses once a battle broke out, and it would benefit the other teams.
Just as the other five heavens of all races were in a competitive relationship, the Sacred Race’s four heavens also had many competitions among them.
However, Li Xuan of the Sacred Palace was the one who found the current situation most hard to accept. He had almost wiped out the Cangxuan Heaven’s great army, but someone had suddenly appeared and blocked his path.
Li Xuan glared at Zhou Yuan's figure. A trace of fear was flickering in the depths of his eyes. He had always snorted in contempt whenever he had heard how Zhou Yuan had suppressed the Sacred Palace’s younger generation, and he had always thought that Jiang Taishen and the others were trash. But it was only now that he understood how unlucky they were to face Zhou Yuan.
It was simply sad to be in the same generation as such a person, and the saddest thing was that Li Xuan was beginning to experience the same feeling.
“This guy is strong, but fortunately, senior brother Ji Mo is here. He will definitely suppress Zhou Yuan.”
Li Xuan shifted his gaze to Ji Mo again, and the awe in his eyes intensified. As long as Ji Mo could suppress Zhou Yuan, the Tianyuan Region’s morale would be hugely impacted and the tides would turn.
As everyone withdrew from the great valley battlefield, countless people cast nervous and tense gazes towards the two figures facing each other on the battlefield. Everyone knew that the match between the two would determine the battle’s outcome.
Under countless watchful gazes, Ji Mo slowly hovered into the air as he stared at Zhou Yuan. However, his contempt from earlier was gone. Although he still exuded the Sacred Race’s arrogance, he knew that such arrogance had little effect against an opponent like Zhou Yuan.
“Grand elder Zhou Yuan from the Tianyuan Region, am I right? If you retreat now, I can let you take away those people from the Cangxuan Sect,” said Ji Mo indifferently.
A commotion suddenly broke out in the Cangxuan Heaven’s great army. The non-Cangxuan Sect people scrunched their faces in worry. They didn’t think that Ji Mo, who was always arrogant, would take a step back. But they were relieved when Zhou Yuan shook his head and calmly said, “I will take everyone.”
All forces from Cangxuan Heaven suddenly felt a surge of gratitude, their reverence for Zhou Yuan presumably reaching its peak. After all, not everyone would have the courage to protect them all when facing the Sacred Race.
Ji Mo shook his head in disappointmen
t. "Humans don't know how to appreciate kindness. Since that’s the case, die!”
As Ji Mo’s voice faded, his eyes turned chilling. Sacred blood containing flecks of golden light trickled down from his fingertips, forming an ancient golden rune in the air in just a few breaths.
The golden rune took shape, turned into a shaft of golden light, and shot towards the center of Ji Mo's brows.
“Activate, Sacred Pupil!” Ji Mo’s voice resounded like thunder.
Boom!
All the Genesis Qi between heaven and earth was seemingly rioting.
The Sacred Race team members all stared in awe at the center of Ji Mo’s brows because the Sacred Pupil was the most distinct sign of the Sacred Race, and only when one had cultivated their blood to the strongest state would one be able to activate it.
Moreover, the Sacred Pupil was one of the Sacred Race’s remarkable abilities, and it had boundless powers.
Amidst stunned gazes, the vertical rune in the center of Ji Mo’s brows slowly opened, revealing a vertical pupil flickering with golden light.
Everyone felt indescribable fear flood through them when they saw the pupil, regardless of whether they were from Cangxuan Heaven or the Tianyuan Region. The emotionless vertical pupil was like a divine eye coldly watching all living beings, and it could destroy any living being with its power.
The Genesis Qi between heaven and earth surged frantically.
Qin Lian and the others were also aghast by the strange phenomenon.
What kind of power is capable of causing such a phenomenon in the world?!
Even Qin Lian, who had the utmost confidence in Zhou Yuan, felt a little worried after seeing such a strange scene. Ji Mo was evidently much stronger than Wei Tuo!
Ji Mo stood in the air with his hands clasped behind his back, staring indifferently at Zhou Yuan. “Since you saw my Sacred Race’s Sacred Pupil, you can die without any regrets now.”
Zhou Yuan looked rather solemn as he studied Ji Mo’s vertical pupil. He could faintly see two star-like objects slowly revolving in a strange formation around the pupil.
A feeling of danger surged in Zhou Yuan's heart.
The power of the Sacred Pupil was terrifying.
When Ji Mo’s voice faded, the world fell silent for several breaths before a vast amount of Genesis Qi wildly gushed over. The two star-like spots in the vertical pupil suddenly grew brighter.
A drop of golden blood rolled down from the corner of Ji Mo’s eyes, as though forming a strange rune on his face. Then, he performed a seal.
"Sacred Pupil, Light of Obliteration!”
Om!
A dark beam shot out from the Sacred Pupil. The beam was silent, but the moment it shot out, the entire sky dimmed as though the beam was swallowing all light.
Everything turned to powder wherever it went.
The people from Cangxuan Heaven and the Tianyuan Region were all horrified because such a powerful attack was simply unheard of. Many worried and nervous gazes focused on Zhou Yuan. The people didn’t know how Zhou Yuan would tackle such a terrifying offensive.
As everyone fixed their gazes on Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan drew a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly.
Within his Divine Dwelling, the gourd silhouette that lay between illusion and substance pulsed slightly, and the ray of flowing rainbow light within it gradually grew brighter till it finally burst out with a screech.
Zhou Yuan slowly opened his eyes and held one hand out in front of him, palm facing up. He said softly, “Precious treasure, please show yourself.”
Om!
A ray of rainbow light suddenly rose from the top of Zhou Yuan’s head.
Although the light was faint, the darkness that shrouded the world was instantly cut apart when the light appeared.
Chapter 1130 Desperately Fighting
The ray of rainbow light tore apart the dusky sky.
Everyone who saw the light felt an indescribable chill run down their spine. That chill was combined with the aura of death, and nothing in the world could stop it when it rises.
Countless people trembled.
Even Qin Lian, Chu Qing and others with similar strength as them revealed looks of fear. The rainbow light exuded a terrifying and dangerous aura, and under that aura, they felt that they wouldn’t be able to withstand such a light no matter what means they used.
“What kind of technique is that?!”
Qin Lian knew that Zhou Yuan's strength had soared during this period, but she had never imagined that Zhou Yuan would master such a terrifying Genesis art.
Zhou Yuan had never performed such a technique in the past!
She felt that she would no doubt be killed if she were to face the rainbow light.
"Could it be a real Saint Genesis art?!”
Qin Lian’s eyes widened. A Saint Genesis art was a supreme Genesis art, and its power was horrifying. But Saint Genesis arts were extremely rare because only Saint experts could create Genesis arts of such a level.
In the entire Hunyuan Heaven, only a handful of people possessed the strength to create such a Genesis art.
Moreover, the cultivation of a Saint Genesis art was just as difficult. Let alone those at the Heavenly Sun stage, only a few at the Nascent Source stage could master such a difficult art. Only Law Domain experts could use them as their trump cards.
However, the mysterious rainbow light that Zhou Yuan displayed was likely a Saint Genesis art!
It was extremely rare to see someone at the intermediate Heavenly Sun stage cultivate a Saint Genesis art. However, considering Zhou Yuan’s identity, it was somewhat understandable. Zhou Yuan’s master and senior brother were both Saint experts. No one in the entire Hunyuan Heaven was as lucky as him.
Qin Lian’s tensed body finally eased a little. Ji Mo’s Sacred Pupil art was terrifying, but Zhou wouldn’t necessarily be afraid of him if he held a Saint Genesis art.
Zhou Yuan intently watched the rainbow light soar into the sky and cut through the darkness. The light seemed weak, but from the aura it exuded, no one would dare underestimate it.
This could be considered the strongest technique he had ever used, and this kind of power scared even him.
However, even if its power was terrifying, the rainbow light wasn’t in its complete form. After all, Zhou Yuan hadn’t cultivated it for long, and it could only be regarded to be in its embryonic stage.
Therefore, it was hard to imagine what sort of scene would appear once the seven complete rainbow sword lights of the Rainbow Sky Severing Gourd were cultivated and appeared at the same time.
At that time, there would be nothing it couldn't sever.
Zhou Yuan licked his lips, eyes gleaming with anticipation.
“That guy has some ability.” Ji Mo also noticed the terrifying aura the rainbow light exuded. His indifferent face turned much colder, and there was an addition of fear in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Yuan. He had never thought there would be someone like Zhou Yuan in the human race.
“But I don't believe you can stop my Sacred Race’s Sacred Pupil.”
Ji Mo had great confidence in the Sacred Pupil, which the Sacred Race took pride in.
Shua!
He closed his hands abruptly, and the black light beam that was penetrating the void sped up, aiming directly for the rainbow light streaking toward it.
“Watch how the power of my Sacred Pupil destroys your hope!”
Countless gazes converged around them, intently watching the earth-shaking collision that was about to happen.
However, just as everyone held their breath nervously, a flowing light filled Zhou Yuan’s eyes, and his seal suddenly changed.
Swoosh!
The rainbow light ray that was about to collide with the black light beam changed its position suddenly and moved directly parallel to the black light beam.
It was heading for Ji Mo!
On the other hand, the Light of Obliteration was pointing towards Zhou Yuan!
Hua!
Countless aghast voices rang out across the heaven and the earth. No one expected Zhou Yuan to be so decisive and ruthless. He showed no intention of blocking the Light of Obliteration and wanted to fight Ji Mo directly!
“That's too dangerous!”
Countless people’s scalps numbed.
The best decision would be to destroy the light beam of obliteration with his rainbow light, but Zhou Yuan planned to take a risk and fight Ji Mo with everything he had!
Ji Mo's expression also changed slightly as he watched the rainbow light rapidly whizz through the air. He also hadn’t expected Zhou Yuan to be so fierce.
"You really want to die! With your strength, how can you withstand my Light of Obliteration?!”
Ji Mo's expression changed, and his face darkened. But he wasn’t an ordinary person, and he soon recovered his composure after a few breaths.
“If you want to die, I will fulfill your wish. I don’t believe that you, an intermediate Heavenly Sun expert, can compete with me in terms of defense! Let’s see which of us will survive!”
In lightning speed, Ji Mo folded his hands into a seal, and the Genesis Qi within his body suddenly surged. He lifted his hand into the air, and countless tortoise shell-like fragments appeared around him, whirling rapidly as they built a powerful defense.
Many people trembled as they watched.
No one thought Zhou Yuan would be so tough. They were both at the edge of a cliff, and they could suffer heavy losses with the slightest carelessness. After all, the two attacks were Ji Mo’s and Zhou Yuan’s strongest means, and they mustn’t be underestimated.
It was just that the people from Cangxuan Heaven and the Tianyuan Region were a little worried and restless because Zhou Yuan, although extraordinary, was still only at the intermediate Heavenly Sun stage. He would still be at a disadvantage facing a top advanced Heavenly Sun expert like Ji Mo. Would his plan be effective?
But they also knew it was too late to say anything. They could only pray that Zhou Yuan could withstand the Light of Obliteration, or perhaps, for Ji Mo to fail to withstand Zhou Yuan’s rainbow light.
Everyone kept silent regardless of whether they were from Cangxuan Heaven, the Tianyuan Region or the Sacred Race. Their eyes reflected the Light of Obliteration and the rainbow light.
