Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

  Only the Genesis Qi between heaven and earth was frantically pulsing.

  Under thousands of intent gazes, the dark light beam appeared before Zhou Yuan. It was about to pierce through him like a strand of hair from the God of Death.

  The rainbow light appeared in front of Ji Mo and slashed down.

  The whole world fell utterly silent.

  Chapter 1131 Each Show Remarkable Ability

  Chi!

  When the rainbow light appeared above Ji Mo and slashed down, a tremendous endless sword mark began to wildly extend out from beneath Ji Mo's feet. The sword mark was as deep as an abyss, and the cut forming across the ground was as smooth as a mirror, splitting everything apart.

  As the rainbow light approached, the power it contained became increasingly apparent to Ji Mo, and he had never looked so solemn and serious before. His body tensed up, and he circulated the Genesis Qi within him without any reservation.

  Chi!

  A thousand layers of Genesis Qi shrouded him. But Ji Mo soon discovered that they had no effect. His Genesis Qi defense disintegrated like paper as the rainbow light descended.

  Ji Mo retreated with lightning speed as horror filled his eyes. He flung his sleeve and threw out several defensive Genesis Qi treasures to form another line of defense.

  But as before, it was useless.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Countless people cast nervous, tense gazes at Ji Mo, who constantly drew back as the stream of rainbow light chased after him and instantly destroyed any defense that Ji Mo brought out.

  Such destructive power made many people’s scalps feel numb.

  In less than ten breaths, Ji Mo's many means were all forced out. His face turned ashen, and a look of sheer terror washed over his face.

  The power of Zhou Yuan’s rainbow light far exceeded his imagination, and it made him a little regretful. If he had known that Zhou Yuan was so tricky to deal with, he wouldn't have antagonized him.

  But now that a conflict had broken out, it was too late to change anything. Moreover, Ji Mo wasn’t an overcautious person. His expression suddenly changed, and his face bore a look of determination.He had to kill Zhou Yuan no matter the price. Otherwise, Ji Mo had no confidence in competing with him again once Zhou Yuan reached the advanced Heavenly Sun stage.

  Zhou Yuan must die today!

  "My ray of obliteration light will definitely be able to destroy him, but his rainbow light also has the power to eliminate me, so I must withstand it first!”

  Ji Mo sighed deeply, a flicker of coldness and mockery appearing in his eyes.

  “Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan, your talent is remarkable, and you are indeed a heaven pride of the human race, but unfortunately, you have underestimated the natural means of my Sacred Race.

  “Do you really think the fact my Sacred Race can suppress all other races is false?!”

  Pa!

  Ji Mo suddenly folded his hands together, forming an ancient seal.

  As the rainbow light slashed through the air towards Ji Mo, the obliteration light beam that contained destructive power headed towards Zhou Yuan.

  The light beam annihilated everything it passed.

  A dark and deep rift split the great valley for thousands of miles.

  Everyone stared in utter shock at the two deep rifts that appeared across the great valley. The destructive power made even advanced Heavenly Sun experts shudder inwardly. They were at the Heavenly Sun stage, but the gap between them and Zhou Yuan and Ji Mo was too great that it was simply indescribable.

  If those two attacks were instead launched at them, they would likely suffer considerable damage, no matter which side they were on.

  But the question right now was who, Zhou Yuan or Ji Mo, could withstand the opponent’s destructive attack?

  They all understood that the one who survived would be the winner.

  The world fell silent, and all eyes were on the ends of the two abyss-like rifts.

  Who would survive in the end?

  Bang!

  It was during this silence that several boulders suddenly exploded, and a dark hole appeared in the depths of the deep sword mark. A figure slowly emerged.

  When the figure appeared under the countless nervous gazes, the people from the Tianyuan Region and Cangxuan Heaven all turned pale-faced, and the Sacred Race team erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

  The person who came out was Ji Mo!

  It was just that Ji Mo looked rather miserable with a deep sword wound that almost split him apart across his chest. But regardless of the severity of his injuries, at least Ji Mo ultimately withstood the terrifying rainbow light.

  Under countless shocked gazes, Ji Mo expressionlessly glanced down at the injuries covering his body and couldn't help but clench his fists.

  No one noticed that the Sacred Pupil between his brows had closed and the vertical rune at the center of his brows had dimmed to the point it was almost invisible.

  He had paid a heavy price to withstand Zhou Yuan's destructive sword light.

  The Sacred Pupil was an innate supernatural power of the Sacred Race that could nurture and develop many amazing arts. Moreover, Ji Mo’s Sacred Pupil had developed a Death Substitute Art, which meant any fatal damage could be transferred to his Sacred Pupil. However, this also meant the Sacred Pupil would be severely injured and would be in a sealed state for a long period.

  This period could even be forever.

  Ji Mo's eyes blazed with fury. Even if he was mentally prepared to pay such a price, his heart still ached.

  Hu.

  Ji Mo drew a deep breath, suppressing the rage in his heart. Although the price he had paid was heartbreaking, fortunately, he had eliminated a powerful enemy.

  Zhou Yuan’s talent was too demonic. If he had reached the advanced Heavenly Sun stage, he would have undoubtedly become the Sacred Race’s strongest enemy in Guyuan Heaven. Therefore, they avoided had future trouble by eliminating him.

  Ji Mo lifted his head, sweeping a cold gaze over the Cangxuan Heaven and Tianyuan Region teams. He immediately curled his lips in a bloodthirsty smile and said, “It seems that he isn’t your savior today. Don’t worry, when we capture you all, we will refine all of you into blood pills and not waste anything!”

  Hearing Ji Mo’s chilling and murderous voice, the Cangxuan Heaven and Tianyuan Region teams all felt a chill surge in their hearts.

  Pu!

  Just when Ji Mo's voice fell, however, a faint strange sound suddenly sounded.

  The voice was subtle, but it resembled a clap of thunder when it fell in everyone's ears, because that voice came from the deep crack behind them.

  Shua!

  Countless people looked toward the noise with astonished gazes. Then, they trembled when they saw the ground tear apart at the very end of the rift. An arm slowly stretched out.

  A person climbed out from the ground, shaking the mud off his body. His figure looked very miserable, and red lines were spread across his upper body and emitting strong heat. Snow-white hair rustled down him as it fell, burying his feet. There was a large black scorch mark on his chest, and the afflicted flesh showed signs of burning.

  It was Zhou Yuan!

  Although he looked miserable, his appearance still halted the Sacred Race team’s cheers, and their arrogant gazes immediately turned terrified.

  They couldn't believe that Zhou Yuan could survive Ji Mo's strongest attack!

  Hua!

  This time, the people from the Tianyuan Region and Cangxuan Heaven burst into deafening cheers. Joy and excitement brimmed their countless gazes as they looked at Zhou Yuan.

  Amidst the earth-shattering cheers, Zhou Yuan shook the mud and snow-white hairs off his body, raised his head, and smiled at Ji Mo, who was standing dumbstruck.

  “What did you just say?”

  Chapter 1132 Bluff

  “What—how is this possible?!”

  Ji Mo was in a state of shocked disbelief when he saw Zhou Yuan’s figure. It was as thoug
h he had been struck by lightning.

  “Zhou Yuan actually withstood my light beam of obliteration?! Impossible…impossible!”

  Ji Mo, who was always calm and indifferent, lost self-control. His face twisted into a hideous expression. He only managed to endure Zhou Yuan’s rainbow light with the help of the Death Substitute Art from his Sacred Pupil. In other words, Zhou Yuan’s rainbow light could have killed him.

  But even though he had survived in the end, he had to pay a heavy price—his Sacred Pupil was in a sealed state.

  Ji Mo was confident that his obliteration light beam wasn’t in any way weaker than Zhou Yuan’s rainbow light. He was only able to withstand Zhou Yuan’s light beam with the help of his Sacred Pupil, so how was Zhou Yuan still standing alive in front of him?!

  Ji Mo balled his hands into fists, his expression dark and unpleasant. He thought he had already overestimated Zhou Yuan, but now it seemed his overestimation was still too conservative.

  The Sacred Race team didn’t even utter a sound, and the shock on their faces was much stronger than Ji Mo’s.

  After all, they all knew how strong Ji Mo was. Ji Mo was no doubt their heaven’s strongest Heavenly Sun stage cultivator, and he was among the best even in Shengzu Heaven, the Sacred Race’s strongest heaven. Therefore, they couldn’t understand how Ji Mo had suffered such losses in the hands of Zhou Yuan, an intermediate Heavenly Sun stage cultivator.

  As members of the Sacred Race, they were all arrogant and viewed other races as dogs. Therefore, they had never expected such a powerful person to appear in the human race they so despised.

  When their gazes shifted to Zhou Yuan again, the contempt that filled them before silently disappeared, replaced by intense hostility and killing intent.

  The Sacred Race were enemies with the other races in the Tianyuan World because the Sacred Race had no intention of co-existing with the other races. They wanted to be the sole ruler of the Tianyuan World, and the other races had to become their slaves if they wanted to survive.

  Therefore, the more outstanding Zhou Yuan was, the more the Sacred Race should want to eliminate him.

  They all had the same thought, but no one dared to act recklessly. The miserable-looking young figure in the distance brought the Sacred Race team tremendous pressure.

  This was because they could tell that the sacred rune in the center of Ji Mo’s brows had dimmed significantly, and it was obvious that Ji Mo had paid a heavy price to withstand Zhou Yuan’s rainbow light. This was clear from the chaotic Genesis Qi circulating around his body.

  Although they didn’t want to admit it, they knew in their hearts that the situation was spiraling out of control.

  Zhou Yuan looked surprisingly calm under the countless horrified gazes. He lowered his head and examined the huge scorch of flesh on his chest. The wound looked terrifying, but only his external body was damaged, and it would heal very soon.

  As he lifted his hand, a silver liquid swiftly gathered in his palm and turned into a silver ball covered in countless ancient patterns. It was naturally Silver Shadow; it was just that it looked particularly dull and half its size because it had shielded Zhou Yuan from Ji Mo’s Light of Obliteration.

  Of course, even if Silver Shadow had cultivated the Great Flame Devil, it still wasn’t enough to withstand Ji Mo’s ultimate move alone. It was only able to survive because Zhou Yuan had activated the Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune when the Light of Obliteration struck him.

  His Law Domain directly halved the light beam’s power.

  But even so, the light still pierced Silver Shadow and wounded Zhou Yuan. He had thereby activated the Great Flame Devil and the Heavenly Yuan Brush to protect his body. Without his Law Domain and the Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune, Zhou Yuan would have been hesitant in taking on the obliteration light beam.

  Zhou Yuan stored away Silver Shadow and, under countless gazes, peered in Ji Mo’s direction, saying, “It seems the ending is a little different from what you thought.”

  Ji Mo's face darkened, and after a while, he said indifferently, "You indeed surprised me. I didn't expect there to be someone like you in the human race.”

  Zhou Yuan's piercing gaze fell on the center of Ji Mo's eyebrows, and he smiled. “It seems you paid a heavy price to block my attack?”

  “Your injuries aren’t light either, right?”

  “A lot better than yours.” Zhou Yuan smiled.

  The two taunted back and forth, seemingly testing how severe the other's injuries were.

  Ji Mo finally sighed indifferently. He was silent for a moment and then said, “Zhou Yuan from Hunyuan Heaven’s Tianyuan Region, is that right? I will remember you, and I admit that I underestimated you.

  “It’s no wonder that Hunyuan Heaven became the head of the lower five heavens. Even the deteriorating Tianyuan Region produced someone like you.”

  When Zhou Yuan heard the high and mighty attitude from Ji Mo’s words ‘lower five heavens’, Zhou Yuan couldn’t help chuckling. "We don't accept the name ‘lower five heavens’.”

  The corners of Ji Mo’s lips curved contemptuously. “I know you’re not happy, but that is the truth. My Sacred Race occupies four heavens of the nine heavens in the Tianyuan World and is countless times stronger than your five heavens. The blessings of the universe are also within my Sacred Race. So, it isn’t something a little Heavenly Sun expert like you can change.

  “When you are weak, you have to accept it. Don't try to challenge an existence that you cannot bear.”

  He waved his hand dismissively as though he didn’t want to say anything else to Zhou Yuan. "You have some abilities since you didn't die in my hands today...Fine, the people from the Cangxuan Heaven can leave. When I see you next time, I will make you try the strength of my Shengling Heaven.”

  Li Xuan from the Sacred Palace wanted to say something, but he was deterred by Ji Mo's chilling gaze.

  The Sacred Race team members whispered to each other, and in the end, they remained quiet and obeyed Ji Mo’s command.

  Many people burst into cheers on the Cangxuan Heaven's side, and they cast respectful and grateful gazes at Zhou Yuan.

  If Zhou Yuan hadn’t reversed the tides, the Sacred Race wouldn’t have let them go so easily.

  Qin Lian and the other Tianyuan Region members relaxed slightly. If they had clashed with the Sacred Race team, they would have suffered inevitable damage. Therefore, it was already considered the best result to save the Cangxuan Heaven team without a fight.

  Zhou Yuan stared at Ji Mo, narrowing his eyes.

  Ji Mo’s expression changed when he saw that Zhou Yuan wasn’t leaving. “What? Why aren’t you leaving? I have already notified the rest of the Shengling Heaven. Once they come, you won’t be able to leave!”

  Zhou Yuan smiled in response to Ji Mo's threat. He gazed at the great valley destroyed in the battle with a strange expression.

  Then, he lifted his head and gave Ji Mo a smile.

  “How about this…you take your people away and leave the great valley for my Tianyuan Region team.”

  Fury and killing intent burst forth from Ji Mo’s eyes when he heard Zhou Yuan’s words.

  Chapter 1133 Forced to Retreat

  Boom!

  Terrifying killing intent gushed forth from Ji Mo's body, causing the temperature in the great valley to plummet.

  "What did you say?" Ji Mo stared coldly at Zhou Yuan like a venomous snake. His every word created an oppressive pressure.

  The Sacred Race team behind him looked terrifying. Their eyes contained a fierce glint, and powerful Genesis Qi was surging around them.

  They hadn’t expected Zhou Yuan to be so arrogant. They had already taken a step back and asked him to leave with his people, but he dared to tell them to scram!

  The Tianyuan Region team was also a little puzzled as to why Zhou Yuan would irritate Ji Mo in such a way. Given the situation, it was already great to be able to retreat peacefully.

  Under Ji Mo’s gaze and the murde
rous gazes of many others, the smile on Zhou Yuan’s face faded, and his expression turned icy and contemptuous. “I said, ‘Take your people and get out of here immediately!’ ”

  While talking, he stepped forward.

  Earth Saint Rune!

  Om!

  Vast Genesis Qi gushed up from the earth and poured into Zhou Yuan’s body. With the clench of his hand, the Heavenly Yuan Brush appeared in his grip, and an astonishing Genesis Qi pressure pervaded the great valley.

  His imposing pressure suppressed the Sacred Race team for a moment.

  “Do you really think I don’t know what situation you are in now? Do you think I don’t know much combat strength you have left?” Zhou Yuan sneered, pointing his Heavenly Yuan Brush towards Ji Mo. “If you have the courage, come and play with me again!”

  The corners of Ji Mo's eyes twitched, and his face fiercened. He didn't expect Zhou Yuan to be so arrogant.

  But he was most annoyed with how Zhou Yuan knew his current state.

  He had suffered severe damage after his Sacred Pupil was sealed. Although he looked perfectly fine on the outside, the Genesis Qi within his body was already rioting. However, he had forcibly suppressed it, so how could Zhou Yuan know about it?!

  Ji Mo glared at Zhou Yuan and asked again, “Zhou Yuan, do you really intend to fight to the death with my Shengling Heaven?”

  Zhou Yuan said indifferently, “Ji Mo, the more you act like this, the more you confirm my speculation. It seems that you are really weak now. Also—”

  He swept a glance across the great valley, the corners of his mouth curving upwards in a mocking smile. “Is this your purpose for driving the people from Cangxuan Heaven to this great valley like sheep? What a good plan.”

  Puzzled, Chu Qing and the others scanned the great valley. They were vaguely aware of the Sacred Race team’s intention, but they still couldn’t understand what was so special about this place.

  Ji Mo’s face darkened, and he couldn’t believe how Zhou Yuan could detect the high-class ancestral qi vein hidden in the great valley’s depths. This was a secret only known to his Sea Subduing Hall and was passed on by their saint expert, so how would Zhou Yuan know?
