When the final word landed, Zhou Yuan’s figure had already disappeared from the spot like a phantom.
Jin Linger’s eyes flickered as she watched Zhou Yuan rise into the sky, before cupping her now slightly hot face as she mumbled, “That look just now, he’s really beginning to resemble my type…”’
“But you’d better not be pretending, otherwise, I won’t be able to save you in time.”
Chapter 1146 Battling Ji Mo Again
Ji Mo stood in the air, his dark and cold gaze watching Zhou Yuan rise into the sky. Malicious hatred overflowed from his eyes, as if he could not wait to tear Zhou Yuan to pieces.
He could feel that Zhou Yuan had grown stronger, clearly because of the high grade ancestral qi branch channel.
This bastard had stolen the rewards that originally belonged to him!
“We meet again.” In contrast to Ji Mo’s hateful gaze, Zhou Yuan was all smiles. “The high grade branch channel you found for me previously was excellent. I should thank you again.”
Zhou Yuan had intentionally mentioned the matter to rile up Ji Mo in an attempt to make him lose his rationality to rage.
Veins popped on Ji Mo’s forehead, but he understood Zhou Yuan was trying to anger him. He sneered and said, “Don’t be so happy, I was merely careless previously. This time, I’m going to kill you and make a batch of Blood Genesis Pills from your flesh and blood!”
Zhou Yuan nonchalantly asked, “But can you? If you could, you wouldn’t have fled like a dog with its tail between its legs the last time.”
Ji Mo icily said, “If not for my carelessness, you wouldn’t have any chance previously!”
In their previous clash, Ji Mo’s Genesis Qi foundation was far greater than Zhou Yuan’s. If he had taken the steady approach, there would have been no opportunity for Zhou Yuan to pull off such a risky maneuver.
Zhou Yuan chuckled. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. He immediately waved his sleeve, sending out a torrent of snow-white brush hairs. The hairs twisted into a white shield behind him that cackled with white-gold Genesis Qi.
Clang clang!
The white shield had barely formed when the nearby space suddenly shattered and several extremely sharp strings of light shot out. They headed straight for Zhou Yuan’s vital points, but were ultimately stopped by countless brush hairs.
“You’re still as treacherous as ever,” remarked Zhou Yuan.
The sneak attack had clearly originated from Ji Mo.
Ji Mo’s expression darkened. He had hoped to catch Zhou Yuan off-guard and did not expect his senses to be so sharp.
“Since that didn’t work out, I shall crush you directly!
“Do you believe your temporary 3.1 billion Genesis Qi foundation gives you the qualifications to fight me? That’s too naive!”
Ji Mo stook a step forward and made a seal with one hand. Glowing runes emerged and spread on his face, forming some kind of mysterious tattoo.
Rumble!
Ji Mo’s Genesis Qi abruptly rose, jumping from 3.1 billion to 3.4 billion in the blink of an eye!
Terrifying Genesis Qi surged behind him like an ocean, violently shaking the surrounding space.
The suffocating pressure caused Zhou Yuan’s eyes to widen a little. Ji Mo was pretty incredible. After activating his secret art, his Genesis Qi had soared to the 3.4 billion level.
Swoosh!
Ji Mo’s Genesis Qi exploded as his figure shot forth like a lightning bolt, leaving numerous afterimages behind him.
Zhou Yuan’s figure hurriedly retreated.
“Trying to run? It’s too late!” However, Ji Mo appeared in front of Zhou Yuan the moment he began to move and threw a punch. Destructive Genesis Qi pulsed from Ji Mo’s fist, shattering even the surrounding space as muffled thunder vibrated through the air.
Zhou Yuan’s expression did not change, no hint of fear on his face. Two suns emerged behind him as he also pushed his Genesis Qi to the limit.
Boom!
His Genesis Qi swept out as he also threw a full-power punch.
He also wanted to test how strong his opponent’s 3.4 billion Genesis Qi foundation was.
Booom!
Two fists slammed into each other as a Genesis Qi shockwave unfurled. Ripples spread in the sky, accompanied by a loud boom.
Swish!
However, Ji Mo had definitely gained the upper hand in the exchange. His figure only jerked back slightly, while Zhou Yuan’s was sent hurtling downwards, crashing into a mountain.
“My Genesis Qi foundation is stronger than yours by 300 million, and yet you dare to face me head-on? Stupid fool!” Ji Mo’s face was filled with mockery. “You will definitely die today!”
A bronze spear appeared in Ji Mo’s hand. Boundless Genesis Qi poured in, causing it to buzz excitedly and cut the surrounding space.
Swish!
His figure descended like a lightning bolt, heading straight towards the mountain Zhou Yuan had crashed into. The terrifying force was so great that the mountain began to crumble even before the attack landed. From this, one could see Ji Mo’s unrelenting ruthlessness.
In the distance, Jin Linger’s face changed slightly. She could not help but stamp her feet in worry and frustration. “He can’t have been acting earlier, right?”
However, it was already too late for her to save him. Moreover, even someone as strong as her would not be able last for long in the face of Ji Mo’s frightening Genesis Qi foundation of 3.4 billion.
The only thing she could do now was pray that Zhou Yuan could survive a while longer.
While these thoughts were racing through Jin Linger’s head, Ji Mo arrived, slamming heavily into a certain silhouette amidst the dust.
Clang!
An extremely loud clang rang out.
Boom!
A shockwave that could be seen with the naked eye swept outwards, blowing away the nearby Heavenly Sun experts.
Thud!
A figure was sent flying from the destroyed mountain, smashing into another nearby peak.
However, the figure quickly rose back into the air. Numerous gazes were shocked to see who it was.
The one who had been sent flying was Ji Mo, who had the clear upper hand earlier.
Ji Mo’s expression changed indeterminately as he stared at the destroyed remains of the mountain.
A figure slowly walked out from the dust. He stopped on a boulder and a voice rang out, “Ji Mo, are you really in such a hurry to die?”
Countless gazes looked over.
They saw a figure wielding a mottled black brush, frightening undulations pulsing from his body. Hot scarlet-red runes spread across his skin, causing the surrounding air to distort a little.
The most shocking discovery, however, was that the Genesis Qi undulations from Zhou Yuan had also reached the 3.4 billion level!
Countless people involuntarily cried out, “How can this be?”
An intermediate Heavenly Sun expert with a Genesis Qi foundation of 3.4 billion. This was extremely rare even in the Sacred Race!
In the distance, Jin Linger could not help but swallow. She was truly unable to understand how Zhou Yuan had boosted his Genesis Qi to such a level. Does he have no limit?
It was common knowledge that even secret arts could not raise one’s Genesis Qi foundation without limit due to the cultivation boundary restriction. From what she knew, even the most elite intermediate glass Heavenly Sun experts’ limits were at the 3 billion range. And yet, Zhou Yuan had somehow pushed his all the way to 3.4 billion!
Will his Heavenly Sun implode due to giving over his limits?
Zhou Yuan ignored the shocked gazes as he felt the boiling Genesis Qi in his body. The boost this time had come from pulling out the maximum power of the Earth Saint Rune. However, Earth Genesis Qi was extremely condensed and heavy, and even he was only able to bear the additional 3 billion boost with the Great Flame Devil’s strengthened body and the Taiyi Green Wood Mark continuously mending hi
s wounds.
Zhou Yuan grimaced a little as he felt the faint piercing pain in his body. The Earth Genesis Qi absorbed by the Earth Saint Rune was no joke. He had not expected to feel pain even with the Great Flame Devil. If an ordinary person was to try this, his body would likely disintegrate from the power.
He lifted his head and stared at Ji Mo as cold murder flashed in his eyes.
Since even these cards have been brought out...won’t it be somewhat inexcusable if you don’t die today?
Chapter 1147 Sacred Sealing Art
Though Zhou Yuan’s and Ji Mo’s battle was intensifying, the other two key fights were still drawing a lot of attention.
First, was the most attention-grabbing battle between Guan Qinglong and Mi Shi. Both fighters favored direct, head-on clashes, using the raw might of their Genesis Qi to overwhelm the opponent. However, since their Genesis Qi foundations were roughly equal, the fight was quite literally earth-shaking, each clash causing reverberations that could be felt throughout the battlefield.
From the current situation, it seemed that Guan Qinglong had the initiative. After all, his Genesis Qi foundation was a little stronger than Mi Shi’s.
Hence, the allied races side were not overly worried about this battle.
Although things were looking pretty good for them on this side, Jiang Jinlin’s situation was not as optimistic.
Rumble!
Jiang Jinlin roared at the sky as his body began to swell. Numerous scales grew on his skin as his hands turned into dragon claws. His nails became as sharp as knives, capable of cutting the fabric of space with the faintest twitch.
He looked like a humanoid dragon, possessing near god-like physical abilities that allowed him to release devastating power with each swing or kick.
Moreover, the Genesis Qi undulations from Jiang Jinlin’s body had reached the 3.6 billion level!
Evidently, he had also activated a Genesis Qi boosting secret art.
Despite this, he was unable to gain the upper hand.
Jiang Jinlin’s golden pupils stared hard at Mi Shan, standing in the air in front of him. Strange, mystical glowing runes covered Mi Shan’s entire body. The runes seemed to form some kind of mysterious tattoo which boosted Mi Shan’s Genesis Qi foundation to the 3.8 billion level!
A slit wiggled between his brows, as if something frightening was hiding within. It gave off an extremely dangerous sensation.
“What an ugly look. However, you seem to be much weaker than Guan Qinglong.” Mi Shan smiled faintly as he gazed at the dragonoid Jiang Jinlin. “I originally thought he would be my opponent. Instead, I get to humiliate you.”
“We don’t know who will be humiliating who yet!” A fierce light rose in Jiang Jinlin’s eyes. He cast a glance at a certain spot below, before his mouth abruptly ballooned. With a tiny plop sound, a ball of golden dragon blood was spat out.
Golden dragon blood sprayed across the sky like rain, filling their surroundings.
Mi Shan raised his brows slightly, Genesis Qi surging around him to form a screen that blocked the golden dragon blood.
“Oh? So anxious that you’re vomiting blood?” However, his mocking fell on deaf ears. Instead, an icy smile rose from the corners of Jiang Jinlin’s mouth. “Mi Shan, do you really believe I’ve come unprepared?
“You may be the strongest expert of Shengwang Heaven, but your life is mine today!
“Golden Blood Dragon Domain!” With a growl from Jiang Jinlin, the area enveloped by golden rain slowly began to shimmer. From a distance, it looked as if there was a golden dome around Jiang Jinlin and Mi Shan.
Mi Shan frowned slightly. He waved his sleeve, sending out torrents of Genesis Qi to blast the golden dome.
However, the golden dome was expectedly solid. The attacks could only cause ripples and were unable to destroy it.
“Is this the coffin you’ve prepared for yourself?” Mi Shan smiled.
Jiang Jinlin was expressionless. With a deep breath, he suddenly thrust a dragon claw forward. Golden blood converged towards his palm, slowly turning into an ancient glowing rune. He turned the claw towards Mi Shan, and a split second later, Jiang Jinlin’s body rapidly began to wither, as if all his flesh, blood and lifeforce was being poured into the ancient glowing rune.
“Mi Shan, have a taste of this wonderful gift I’ve prepared especially for you.
“Sacred Sealing Art!”
Bzz!
The glowing rune in Jiang Jinlin’s claw turned into a beam of light. The beam pierced through the air and appeared in front of Mi Shan before bursting into rays of light.
Mi Shan’s expression changed slightly. He could see countless tiny glowing runes within the light rays. The runes gave off a peculiar power that began sealing any Genesis Qi they came into contact with. They were clearly very effective against Genesis Qi.
If he allowed the runes to enter his body, his power would be greatly restricted, causing his strength to fall.
“A sealing technique? So that’s what you were planning!” Mi Shan sneered as the slit between his brows began to wiggle. It slowly cracked open, revealing a Sacred Pupil. Three stars revolved in the pupil, giving off a mysterious power.
“Sacred Pupil Barrier!”
Swish!
Sacred light spewed from the Sacred Pupil, gathering above Mi Shan’s head like a cloud. Tendrils of light descended from the cloud, enveloping Mi Shan’s body. Jiang Jinlin’s sealing runes could not achieve the same unstoppable effect against the sacred light. The runes were gradually stopped, no longer able to advance.
“Jiang Jinlin, you’re too naive. Your strange sealing runes aren’t strong enough to penetrate my Sacred Pupil’s light barrier.” Mi Shan chuckled.
However, there was no sign of defeat in Jiang Jinlin’s eyes. Instead, a strange smile rose from the corners of his mouth. “Isn’t it a little too early to celebrate?”
Mi Shan’s eyes narrowed as a faint sense of unease rose within him.
Swish!
He suddenly heard the clear cry of a phoenix. Mi Shan jerked his head downwards and saw a glowing phoenix rise into the sky and charge into the golden dragon domain.
Mi Shan’s pupils abruptly shrank as he stared at the glowing phoenix, because he had seen countless glowing runes within the phoenix. Though they were somewhat different from Jiang Jinlin’s, they clearly possessed the same ability: sealing power!
Mi Shan's eyes turned icier as he locked onto a certain spot within the phoenix, where a pretty figure raised her head to meet his gaze.
It was the Spirit Phoenix Clan’s Ai Qing.
The glowing phoenix slammed into the sacred light around him and swiftly merged with Jiang Jinlin’s light of sealing.
A tremendous change occurred when the two forces touched. Light condensed into the shapes of a dragon and a phoenix, which began circling around the sacred light at high speed, creating a circle of light.
Mi Shan’s sacred barrier rapidly began to thin, causing his expression to darken.
“Mi Shan, this sealing technique was created by the Saint experts of Wanshou Heaven’s Mystic Dragon Clan and Spirit Phoenix Clan. It requires the fusion of dragon and phoenix to achieve its maximum power. Once the dragon phoenix light circle is formed, you’ll be unable to escape no matter how capable you are.” An icy smile emerged on Jiang Jinlin’s face. “Mi Shan, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too stupid and allowing yourself to fall into my Golden Blood Dragon Domain.”
Jiang Jinlin clenched his claw. The dragon phoenix light circle finally shattered the sacred light and shrank towards Jin Shan’s body.
Once bound by the circle, Mi Shan’s power would be sealed away.
Deafening cheers erupted from the many fighters that were keeping an eye on the battle. The scales would certainly begin to tip once Mi Shan was dealt with.
However, there was surprisingly no panic on Mi Shan’s face as he watched the circle shrink towards him. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled slightl
y. “Jiang Jinlin, I should return your earlier words...it’s a little too early to celebrate.
“While you were scheming against me, I was also scheming against you! Do you believe your sealing technique is a secret? I already knew about it long ago!” Mi Shan displayed a strange smile as light suddenly blossomed from his Sacred Pupil. The dragon phoenix light circle was swiftly sucked into the Sacred Pupil.
“What?!” Jiang Jinlin’s expression changed drastically.
“You sucked in the dragon phoenix light circle?!” Jiang Jinlin was in a state of disbelief. Given the sealing power of the circle, Mi Shan should not dare suck it in no matter how powerful his Sacred Pupil was!
“Who said I sucked it in?” The strangeness of Mi Shan’s smile intensified. “I merely helped you change its target.”
Jiang Jinlin’s pupils abruptly shrank as if finally realizing something. He immediately jerked his head in Guan Qinglong’s direction and shouted, “Careful!”
The instant his shout rang out, a strange expression emerged on Mi Shi’s face as he grinned, “Too late.”
The Sacred Pupil between his brows suddenly opened.
Bzz!
A circle of light shot out. It was the dragon phoenix light circled that had been sucked away by Mi Shan.
The circle zipped straight towards Guan Qinglong at an astonishing speed.
The sudden attack alarmed Guan Qinglong, but it was already too late for him to avoid it. A ruthless light flashed in his eyes as he swung the azure dragon blade. Azure light pulsing with terrifying Genesis Qi hacked into Mi Shi’s chest.
Squelch!
A sinister, bloody wound appeared on Mi Shan’s body, nearly cutting him into two.
However, he did not seem to care, because the circle had already shot into Guan Qinglong’s body.
Countless gazes could only watch, horrified, as the powerful Genesis Qi surging around Guan Qinglong began to weaken at an alarming rate...
Chapter 1148 Disaster for Guan Qinglong
Countless gazes on the vast battlefield stared in horror at the sky. Everyone could feel Guan Qinglong’s rapidly weakening Genesis Qi undulations.
