Jia Tu’s figure faded as an emotionless chuckle rang out.
“Hehe, how arrogant. Who do you think you are…
“You’re only an ant that doesn’t know it yet, and you should be honored that I toyed with you.
“I”ll be waiting then...don’t die on the other sacred heaven prides’ hands along the way. Otherwise, it will be far too disappointing.”
Chapter 1173 Sacred Heaven Pride
When Jia Tu figure disappeared, the intense killing intent on Zhou Yuan's face gradually faded, but his eyes seemed even colder. Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand and commanded, “Tidy up the battlefield, set up the flags, and destroy the boundary node.”
Filled with murderous aura, figures sped towards the Sacred Race team that Zhou Yuan wounded.
The Sacred Race team was wiped out after a short moment.
Li Qingchan immediately commanded the team members to disperse and put up flags within the node domain. Soon, the boundary violently vibrated, the space began to distort and the sand that filled the sky gradually receded.
Li Qingchan came to Zhou Yuan's side and stared at him with her beautiful and icy eyes. She previously also felt Zhou Yuan’s intense killing intent and knew he had some sort of relationship with the girl called Su Youwei.
It was indeed infuriating that Jia Tu's used this as an illusion.
But she didn't say much because she believed in the young man in front of her. He had achieved outstanding things over the years, but what was most outstanding was his tenacity. If Jia Tu thought that such a method could shake his heart, he greatly underestimated him.
Jia Tu's teasing behavior only intensified Zhou Yuan's killing intent.
“Is everything alright?" Li Qingchan whispered, her beautiful eyes glistening like moonlight.
Zhou Yuan smiled. "I'm just thinking what method of death I should give him.”
Li Qingchan nodded and said in a rare gentle voice, "But don't underestimate him. Since he’s the strongest sacred heaven pride in Shengzu Heaven, his strength must be unfathomable.”
Zhou Yuan nodded and said solemnly to Li Qingchan, "Senior sister Qingchan, I really didn't expect you to have a gentle side.”
Li Qingchan flicked her slender fingers and the sword in her hand flashed out half an inch from its scabbard. Cold light immediately filled the air and the temperature plummeted.
"Ahem, the node here has been destroyed. Let’s hurry and move on to the next place.” Feeling the chilling atmosphere, Zhou Yuan coughed dryly and immediately gave another order. He sped away first and smashed the space in front of him with a punch.
Li Qingchan’s lips twitched slightly when she saw his panicked figure, but since Zhou Yuan could still joke with her, his mind clearly wasn’t affected by Jia Tu, which made her a little relieved.
With a wave of her hand, she led the team and immediately followed.
For the half day following this, Zhou Yuan led the team to break through six boundary nodes in one go.
The process was very smooth, but Zhou Yuan understood that this was because his strength was too tyrannical, so he ignored everything and pushed through.
However, Zhou Yuan grew increasingly serious during this process of advancement.
This was because almost each of the six nodes was guarded by one or two Sacred Race experts with a foundation of 3.5 billion.
Of course, his route was guarded by the strongest people. It was evident that the number of top experts in the Sacred Race was indeed much more than the five heavens.
According to Zhou Yuan’s speculation, if the Sacred Race weren’t that ambitious and tried to swallow all nine main ancestral qi veins in one bite and instead concentrated their efforts to seize the strongest main veins, it would be hard to contend against them.
It was no wonder that the Sacred Race obtained the greatest benefits in almost every Battle of Guyuan Heaven in the past. The five heavens could only have their leftovers
In a boundary node.
Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged, inhaling Genesis Qi to recover. The fierce battles during that half-day also took a toll on him.
And as boundary nodes were constantly broken, the Sacred Race experts that guarded the nodes were stronger than before. Therefore, he must be in top condition.
While recovering his Genesis Qi, Zhou Yuan took out a purple-gold jade bamboo slip, from which light radiated and formed a light screen.
Countless specks of light flickered on the light screen, which were exactly the teams from the five heavens that entered the great formation.
"The damage is even greater..." Zhou Yuan just scanned the screen roughly and found that some light specks had completely dimmed and vanished. The entire army seemed to have wiped out after a tragic battle.
But their sacrifices weren’t worthless. The nodes that were destroyed gradually shook the Sacred Derivation Boundary Formation.
Zhou Yuan inhaled deeply, suppressing the emotions fluctuating in his heart, and looked at the most important routes.
Among these routes, Bai Xiaolu was the one who advanced most rapidly. She had destroyed four nodes in total, which was only just behind him.
Jiang Jinlin, Guan Qinglong and the others were a little slower, and likely had encountered more difficult and powerful enemies.
Zhou Yuan looked at Zhao Mushen’s, Su Youwei’s, and Wu Yao’s routes. Although they weren’t advancing as swiftly, the light specks that represented their state were still very bright, indicating they hadn’t suffered much damage.
The enemies they encountered would be stronger the further they advanced.
Zhou Yuan stood up, turned his head to look at Li Qingchan and the others, saying, "The next node is quite important. The other side would inevitably have their top experts guard it. Everyone be careful.”
Li Qingchan and the others nodded seriously.
They all understood that they weren’t qualified to participate in a battle of Zhou Yuan's level, and the only thing they could do was protect the formation flags.
Zhou Yuan threw out a punch, smashing the void with dragon-like Genesis Qi.
The domain suddenly twisted and tore apart. He took the lead and stepped through.
As he stepped through the spatial crack, the scene in front changed almost instantly, becoming a vast sea of forest that extended endlessly.
Zhou Yuan immediately cast his gaze into the distance.
He peered at a mountain peak.
One person led the way in front and the other two closely followed.
The one who took the lead didn’t conceal his Genesis Qi at all. It raged across the world like a storm, causing space to vibrate.
The Genesis Qi foundation of the two behind him was both around 3.8 billion!
Li Qingchan’s and the others’ expressions changed slightly. Someone with a foundation of 4 billion could be considered as a sacred heaven pride!
A sacred heaven pride had led two top sacred race experts to stop them!
“Shengzu Heaven’s sacred heaven pride…”
As Zhou Yuan calmly studied the three figures before him, a dark stream of light gathered in his palm and transformed into a mottled dark brush.
“Finally someone presentable came."
Zhou Yuan pointed his Heavenly Yuan Brush forward, his eyes filled with fighting spirit and murderous intent. His body slowly exuded an overbearing aura that blotted out the sky and swept across the world.
“Let me see, how capable the sacred heaven prides from Shengzu Heaven are!”
Chapter 1174 Heavenly Dragon Palm Seal
“Lowly ant species of the five lower heavens, you should stop now.” The leader of three figures suddenly spoke when Zhou Yuan and the others stepped into the boundary node. He only spoke casually but his voice resembled thunder, shaking the mountains below as it reverberated throughout heaven and earth.
Moreover, he unreservedly revealed his Genesis Qi foundation of 4 billion, and an oppressive atmosphere filled the space.
&n
bsp; "You are a sacred heaven pride from Shengzu Heaven?" Zhou Yuan sized up the person before him, and noticed he was carrying a huge red spear and his burly body exuded an oppressive pressure. His face was ordinary-looking, but a chilling fierceness flashed in his eyes.
He looked like a humanoid beast.
From his bearing, Zhou Yuan knew he was much stronger than the brothers Mi Shi and Mi Shan, who they previously encountered.
"I am Xiao Yin, a Shengzu Heaven’s sacred heaven pride!"
The huge red spear in his hand pointed at Zhou Yuan as he grinned, giving off a ferocious, arrogant and condescending aura.
“I heard you’re the commander-in-chief for the five lower heavens in Guyuan Heaven? You don’t seem that special. I would make a huge contribution to the team if I kill you here.”
Zhou Yuan looked at him indifferently, unaffected by his taunting. He turned his head and said to Li Qingchan and the others, “Go put up the flags, I will handle the situation here.”
Li Qingchan nodded. “Be careful.”
Without any hesitation, she darted away with the others. They scattered and searched for locations to put up the flags.
“Where are you going?!”
Xiao Yin gave a sinister smile. He thrust his arm and a red spear roared out with a blood-red torrent like a blood-red Jiao-dragon. Shrouded in earth-shattering Genesis Qi, it tore through the sky and sped towards Li Qingchan and the others.
However, before that tyrannical offensive neared Li Qingchan and the others, a figure appeared in front of them like a ghost.
Zhou Yuan balled his hand into a fist and white hair broke out from his skin, enveloping his fist like a glove.
Boom!
His fist directly slammed into the blood-red Jiao-dragon, causing a resounding metallic noise. Even the entire void wildly distorted. Then, the blood-red spear blasted backwards, producing sorrowful wailing, and in the end, crashed into several mountain peaks.
“You only have a Genesis Qi foundation of 4 billion yet you dare act so arrogant. Do the sacred heaven prides in your Sacred Race not have a brain?”
Zhou Yuan stared sharply at Xiao Yin as three Heavenly Suns loomed behind him. At the same time, 4.3 billion Genesis Qi stars unreservedly erupted from his body and terrifying pressure gushed in all directions like thousand-feet waves.
“A 4.3 billion Genesis Qi foundation?!” Xiao Yin’s pupils shrank.
"Moreover, that guy's Genesis Qi..." Xiao Yin stared at Zhou Yuan's platinum Genesis Qi because he could feel that the Genesis Qi was of a high grade.
Boom!
But before he could ponder more carefully, Zhou Yuan took one step forward and instantly appeared right in front of Xiao Yin. Expressionless, he punched out.
Monstrous platinum Genesis Qi burst forth. An ancient dragon roar resounded deep in the Genesis Qi, shaking one’s Spirit.
Zhou Yuan had circulated all his 4.3 billion Genesis Qi in that punch. As a result, space rippled violently and spatial cracks spread through space as the punch blasted out.
“Do you still think I’m a lowly ant species?!”
Xiao Yin’s face twisted fiercely and his eyes reddened in fury when he heard Zhou Yuan’s taunt. Although Zhou Yuan’s 4.3 billion Genesis Qi foundation was stronger than his, Xiao Yin had no intention of retreating because as part of the Sacred Race he couldn’t retreat from the bastards of the five lower heavens.
“Mysterious tablet secret art!” Xiao Yin roared.
His clothes burst to pieces, revealing a stone tablet rune on his chest. The rune squirmed and released rays of mysterious light that rapidly spread to every part of Xiao Yin’s body.
His Genesis Qi foundation soared at an astonishing speed!
His Genesis Qi foundation reached the level of 4.2 billion within a few breaths!
“Mystic Jiao-Dragon Fist!”
Xiao Yin balled his hand into a fist and punched out. A Jiao-dragon shadow suddenly rose from his body and dived down, merging into his fist. Them, a tremendous Jiao-dragon fist wrapped in surging Genesis Qi thrust directly towards Zhou Yuan.
Xiao Yin also unreservedly put all his strength into that punch.
"Compared with our Sacred Race, what are you?!" Xiao Yin roared with laughter. The Jiao-dragon Genesis Qi he cultivated was ranked grade 8 and was known to be tyrannical. Moreover, he activated a secret art to raise his Genesis Qi foundation even more. Any opponent wouldn’t dare attack recklessly even with a 4.3 billion Genesis Qi foundation.
But that was only...what he believed.
Zhou Yuan's face didn’t ripple in the slightest in the face of Xiao Yin's full-strength counterattack. He carefully sensed the World Subduing Heavenly Dragon Qi surging in his body, and felt an unprecedented vast feeling.
This was the first time that Zhou Yuan completely and unreservedly circulated his Genesis Qi to its peak after his breakthrough to the advanced Heavenly Sun stage.
Roar!
A majestic ancient dragon roar echoed constantly throughout his body, cleansing his flesh and blood. It was amidst the dragon roar that a divine light flashed across his mind. It was as though he was enlightened. Then, suddenly, he balled his hands into fists and his fingers folded into a seal.
The Genesis Qi he cultivated from the Ancestral Dragon Scripture contained powerful arts that one could only understand once one’s Genesis Qi reached a certain level.
Zhou Yuan had a feeling that the lightning-like Genesis art that suddenly flashed would be extraordinary.
Boom!
As Zhou Yuan thrust out his palm, a platinum light formation spread forth from his palm. Then, the light formation tore apart itself and a monstrous platinum dragon shadow, shrouded in indescribable power, charged out.
Space shattered before the platinum dragon shadow.
Thousands of spatial debris scattered everywhere.
The platinum dragon shadow rapidly enlarged in front of Xiao Yin and the powerful and dangerous aura it emitted made even Xiao Yin's body tense up and his hair stand on end. But the most terrifying thing was that even his Jiao-dragon spirit was shuddering in fear.
His Mystic Jiao-dragon Fist required a Jiao-dragon’s spirit as sacrifice to possess such a fierce power, but the platinum dragon shadow had utterly suppressed the Jiao-dragon seal.
Boom!
But it was too late to change his move or even retreat. A fierce light glinted in Xiao Yin’s eyes. He decidedneitherto advance nor toretreat, and instead blood-red Jiao-dragon scales surfaced on his body.
“That kid has some skill, so it’s best to counter his offensive first, then join forces with the others and use our trump cards to kill him.”
The others that Xiao Yin mentioned were naturally the other two who possessed a 3.8 billion Genesis Qi foundation. Their Genesis Qi were of the same origin and there was a secret art that could combine the three’s strength into one. They no doubt could finally suppress Zhou Yuan then.
It was just that Xiao Yin, who was arrogant, didn’t want to join forces with others. This was why he came alone to first test Zhou Yuan’s strength!
"I don't believe that I, a high and mighty Shengzu Heaven sacred heaven pride would lose to a lowly species!”
Xiao Yin's ferocious nature was aroused. His speed suddenly skyrocketed and then, shrouded in majestic power, he collided with the platinum dragon shadow roaring towards him.
Rumble!
Berserk Genesis Qi shock waves raged across the air.
The mountain forest was instantly razed to the ground.
Bang!
Li Qingchan and the others in the distance also halted for a moment and stared in astonishment at the collision.
This was the first time they saw Zhou Yuan attack after his breakthrough.
Zhou Yuan was hovering in the air while Xiao Yin was ferociously speeding across the air, but the astonishment on Li Qingchan's face intensified.
This was because she noticed a huge hole appearing on Xiao Yin's chest.
And around the h
ole was platinum Genesis Qi crazily corroding his flesh.
The other two Sacred Race experts also stared wide-eyed at the scene.
“How… is it possible?”
Xiao Yin peered down at the hole on his chest and disbelief filled his face. He didn't think Zhou Yuan's offensive would be so terrifying.
The vitality in his body was fading rapidly.
Strong unwillingness mixed with shock came to Xiao Yin's eyes. He still had other means to use more trump cards to bring out and he still hadn’t activated his Sacred Pupil…It shouldn't end like this. I planned to block Zhou Yuan’s attack and then begin to counterattack.
But…now, he had no chance to counterattack.
Ah!
Xiao Yin roared skywards, his voice full of unwillingness and anger. His wailing stopped abruptly, and his body plummeted from the void like a golden mountain or jade pillar, smashing a deep pit into the ground.
Li Qingchan’s and the others’ mouth fell open.
The battle has ended before we even put up a flag?!
A Shengzu Heaven sacred heaven pride was killed?!
The other two Shengzu Heaven experts shuddered at the scene and almost cursed out loud. Xiao Yin…that bastard is too arrogant. We planned to attack Zhou Yuan together with our secret art…But now that their leader, Xiao Yin, was killed, what use would joining forces be?!
“Idiot! Idiot!” The two roared in anger in their hearts.
In the void, Zhou Yuan’s expression remained indifferent as he watched Xiao Yin fall to the ground, though there was a hint of astonishment in the depths of his eyes. He had a feeling the Heavenly Dragon Palm Seal would be extraordinary, but he didn’t think it could kill Xiao Yin in one strike.
Its power wasn’t inferior to a ray of rainbow sword light.
Of course, his Heavenly Dragon Palm coincidentally had a restraining effect on Xiao Yin's Jiao-dragon Fist.
He refined a Jiao-dragon spirit, but because of that, he was utterly destroyed under the Heavenly Dragon’s might.
That guy…to put it simply, has bad luck.
Zhou Yuan happened to grasp a Genesis art from the World-Subduing Heavenly Dragon Qi to restrain it completely.
