Jia Tu shook his head and said in a disappointed voice, "A lowly ant from the five lower heavens really doesn’t know how to appreciate favors and have wishful thinking.”
“Never mind, since you want to die, I will fulfil your wish.”
He cast a glance at the node space and continued, “Now that the Sacred Derivation Boundary Formation is in disorder, everyone within the boundary must be watching us. They likely have put all their hope on you, is that right?
“Say, when they find their last hope is so useless, would they resent you because of your poor strength?” he asked, a playful smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
"Sometimes when one’s hope is shattered, it can make one go crazy.”
“You talk too much nonsense.” Zhou Yuan stepped forward expressionless.
Boom!
Three Heavenly Suns loomed behind him, gradually growing clearer. The clearer one’s Heavenly Sun was on the outside, the more it could connect with universe Genesis Qi. From this, it was clear that Zhou Yuan was fearful of Jia Tu.
4.3 billion Genesis Qi stars erupted without any reservation.
But it didn’t end there.
“Promotion!”
“Earth Saint Rune!”
Zhou Yuan activated two secret arts simultaneously, causing his Genesis Qi foundation to climb steadily and platinum Genesis Qi whizzed across the sky. An ancient dragon’s roar reverberated throughout the world.
A foundation of 5 billion Genesis Qi stars!
Faced with such a powerful enemy, Zhou Yuan had no intention of testing his opponent’s strength.
As the five heavens people saw this scene, their eyes brimmed with gazes of astonishment and shock. Even though layers of spatial nodes separated them from Zhou Yuan that didn’t stop them from feeling the powerful Genesis Qi pressure released from Zhou Yuan.
“Seven-Claw Heavenly Sun?”
Jia Tu raised his brows when he saw the ancient dragon runes on Zhou Yuan’s three Heavenly Suns.
“You are indeed a top heaven pride since you could achieve such a level with the resources and lowly human race status in the five lower heavens. No wonder even Xu Lei couldn’t stop you.”
Zhou Yuan still had no intention of responding. He flicked his sleeve and folded one hand into a seal.
Rumble!
A huge thunderbolt reverberated in his sleeve, and then, a black-and-white lightning roared out with astonishing force and whizzed towards Jia Tu with unimaginable speed.
Yin Yang Lightning Rune!
The black-and-white lightning streaked across the sky and came a few meters away from Jia Tu, who watched it near him without a ripple of expression. He suddenly opened his mouth and blew out.
A jet of white qi spewed out.
The temperature plummeted and the space around Jia Tu seemed to have frozen with countless ice crystals emerging in the air.
Pu!
The white qi current collided with the black-and-white lightning. Then, the lighting suddenly froze, and when it struck again, it exploded into countless light specks.
Everyone from the five heavens felt a chill in their hearts when they saw this scene. Jia Tu effortlessly destroyed Zhou Yuan’s powerful offensive.
How strong was Jia Tu?!
Zhou Yuan also assumed a serious and solemn expression. Even by just sitting there, Jia Tu released a terrifying pressure and dangerous aura.
Jia Tu was likely the most dangerous person at his level that he had ever met.
Jia Tu stretched his body and said indifferently, "Actually, what Xu Lei said to you before is right. You shouldn't come to me because that will destroy all your confidence.”
The space suddenly began to vibrate.
A terrifying wave of Genesis Qi slowly rose from his body. His Genesis Qi was deep silver as though there were countless star dusts flickering within. Moreover, there was a mysterious chilling intent that seemed capable of freezing everything.
Three Heavenly Suns slowly emerged behind him as the Genesis Qi soared.
Zhou Yuan’s pupils shrank abruptly when he saw the three Heavenly Suns.
This was because he saw familiar dragon runes on them.
There were more dragon runes on them than his Heavenly Suns!
They were Eight-Claw Heavenly Suns!
Zhou Yuan pursed his lips. Although emotions were surging up within him, he wasn’t surprised. After all, he was able to achieve Seven-Claw Heavenly Suns, let alone Jia Tu, the strongest Heavenly Sun expert in the Sacred Race, who likely had received greater resources and opportunities than him.
Jia Tu's talent was clearly unquestionable, otherwise he wouldn’t be sitting in that position.
Therefore, since he possessed the talent and sufficient resources and opportunities, it wasn’t surprising that he refined Eight-Claw Heavenly Suns.
Zhou Yuan's face grew increasingly solemn and his entire body tensed up. This was because he could feel that, in addition to the Eight-Claw Heavenly Suns, Jia Tu’s Genesis Qi foundation had reached a very terrifying level.
A foundation of 5.1 billion stars!
It should be said that Zhou Yuan only achieved a 5 billion foundation through the help of secret arts, but Jia Tu’s foundation was 5.1 billion without any external means. It was 800 million more than Zhou Yuan’s!
Jia Tue stared at Zhou Yuan with a mocking smile and folded one hand in a seal.
Boom!
As the world quaked, Jia Tu’s Genesis Qi foundation soared again.
Countless people from the five heavens watched tremblingly because they knew Jia Tu activated a secret art.
Jia Tu already had the upper hand in Genesis Qi foundation yet he still activated a secret art to increase it even more. This was evidently to torture their minds.
He wanted Zhou Yuan and all the spectators from the five heavens to feel despair.
Jia Tu’s Genesis Qi foundation continued to soar under astonished gazes until it reached 5.6 billion.
As terrifying Genesis Qi whizzed around the node, even the space around Jia Tue seemed unable to bear the tremendous power. It constantly distorted and even shattered.
The pillar like mountain beneath him slightly shook and boulders tumbled down.
5.6 billion!
Even Zhou Yuan’s scalp numbed as he faced Jia Tu. He’s the strongest Heavenly Sun expert in the Sacred Race? His strength is that abnormal?
“Are you trembling?” Jia Tue smiled warmly at Zhou Yuan.
“Unfortunately for you, I don’t like to give people a second chance.”
Jia Tu vanished when he finished his sentence.
Zhou Yuan retreated frantically, his expression changing.
But the moment he moved, the space in front shattered to pieces and a figure appeared in front of him as if teleported.
The figure swiftly thrusted out a palm. The palm seemed casual and gentle, but it was enveloped in terrifying Genesis Qi and destroyed everything in front.
The whole world seemed to be shaking because of it.
Facing the palm that obstructed all escape routes, Zhou Yuan had no chance of evading. Moreover, the blast of wind from the palm strike came so fast towards him that it struck his body the moment he swiftly crossed his arms to form a defense.
Boom!
Enormous Genesis Qi shock waves of ten-thousand feet-tall spread across the void.
Space shattered.
Zhou Yuan’s figure was blasted away and smashed a bottomless abyss-like hole into the ground.
The impact was similar to a meteor striking the earth.
Countless people from the five heavens watched this scene tremblingly, despair and terror filling their eyes.
Who would have thought that the strongest Heavenly Sun expert from the five heavens would almost be killed by a palm strike from the strongest Heavenly Sun expert in the Sacred Race?
Chapter 1187 Ancient God Scripture?
The five heavens troops shivered as they stared at the abyss-deep crack on the g
round, particularly those familiar with Zhou Yuan.
This was because they had witnessed how Zhou Yuan dominated previous battles time and time again and had never seen a situation where he was almost killed in a split second.
This clearly demonstrated Jia Tu’s terrifying strength.
Under countless gazes, Jia Tu looked at the crack that split the ground below without a ripple on his face, and only a faint surprise flashed across his eyes.
“That palm strike didn’t destroy him?”
He felt a strange power released from Zhou Yuan’s body and dissolved the majority of his offensive when his power flooded the area.
Bang!
A loud boom resounded in the abyss, followed by a figure shooting into the sky.
The figure was of course Zhou Yuan, only that he looked somewhat tragic. His upper garment was in tatters, his arms were bloodied and mangled, and even some bones had fractured.
His face was overcast with a frown. The speed and power of Jia Tu’s violent attack far exceeded his expectation.
The power of 5.6 billion Genesis Qi foundation was beyond his imagination.
If Zhou Yuan hadn't timely activated his Heavenly Punishment Law Domain during the collision and that he possessed the Saint glass light to protect him, he likely would have died under the palm strike.
Zhou Yuan shook his arm and the twisted bones quickly returned to their original state and his torn flesh rapidly healed under his remarkable recovery ability.
But Zhou Yuan wasn’t too concerned about his external injuries and just stared at the silver Genesis Qi circulating around Jia Tu’s body, a storm rushing up in his heart.
He wasn't shocked by the power of his opponent’s Genesis Qi, but…
He faintly felt Jia Tu’s Genesis Qi was somewhat similar to the Genesis Qi he cultivated from the Ancestral Dragon Scripture.
However, although Jia Tu’s Genesis Qi was extremely high grade, it wasn’t as pure as his.
Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed. He felt that the Genesis Qi that Jia Tu cultivated might be connected to the Ancestral Dragon Scripture.
"Your Genesis Qi is quite powerful," praised Zhou Yuan.
He wanted to obtain some information from Jia Tu.
Jia Tu, who didn’t pay much attention to him at first, couldn’t help smiling when he heard his compliment. “You have good eyes. The Genesis Qi I cultivate comes from the Ancient God Scripture, which is passed down from the God of our Sacred Race. Only the most talented of a generation in the Sacred Race is allowed to cultivate it.”
The so-called Ancient God Scripture was something that Jia Tu was incredibly proud of. Zhou Yuan’s question perfectly scratched his itch.
“Ancient God Scripture?” Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed. Could it be the Ancestral Dragon Scripture?
Zhou Yuan felt that there might be a relationship between the two.
But it was Yaoyao who gave him the Ancestral Dragon Scripture, a mysterious and rare cultivation art in the world. So what was the origin of Jia Tu’s Ancient God Scripture, which seemed related to the Ancestral Dragon Scripture?
Could Yaoyao have some sort of relationship with the Sacred Race?
But if this is the case, given the enmity between the Sacred Race and all races, how would master Cang Yuan keep Yaoyao by his side and raise her with his heart?
Zhou Yuan scrunched his brows. Yaoyao’s identity was too mysterious. Once she regained consciousness, he thought he must ask master Cang Yuan to explain everything to him. He felt that he had the right and qualification to know about those matters now.
Zhou Yuan quickly suppressed the emotions that streamed through his heart. His priority was to get rid of Jia Tu.
Only after he eliminated Jia Tu and obtained the Ancestral Dragon Flesh would Yaoyao awaken.
Moreover, Jia Tu seemed to not notice the similarities between their Genesis Qi, which surprised Zhou Yuan a little. After all, Jia Tu’s Genesis Qi foundation was clearly better than Zhou Yuan’s yet he failed to notice the similarities but Zhou Yuan did.
Is it because the Ancestral Dragon Scripture is more orthodox? speculated Zhou Yuan.
But his speculation had little importance at such a time, because he could feel the tremendous Genesis Qi surging around Jia Tu’s body again.
Given Zhou Yuan's current state, he knew he was no match for Jia Tu, even if he had the protection of the Heavenly Punishment Law Domain and possessed the mysterious glass light. After all, such passive defenses couldn’t last forever and also consumed huge amounts of his Genesis Qi.
Therefore, the longer the battle dragged on, the more dangerous Zhou Yuan’s situation.
Hu.
Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his hand without any hesitation. A silver ball emerged in his palm.
It was Silver Shadow.
However, Zhou Yuan didn’t transform Silver Shadow into a human form this time and just folded his hands into a seal. The Silver Ball suddenly turned into silver liquid and flowed down and spread throughout his skin.
But it didn’t shroud him like an armour as it did in the past.
Instead, it formed several mysterious silver streaks that intertwined with each other and created mysterious rune marks. They eventually sank into his skin. From afar, they looked like mysterious silver tattoos.
Of course, the most striking was still the pair of silver wings extended out from Zhou Yuan’s back.
The one-foot silver wings glistened under the sun and radiated a sacred aura.
As the silver runes and silver wings took shape, the universe Genesis Qi endlessly converged in Zhou Yuan’s direction, as though drawn by some kind of force.
Zhou Yuan slowly clenched his hand and then peered at the silver rune on his hand. His eyes widened in surprise.
This was Silver Shadow’s new form, which Zhou Yuan called the Silver God Rune.
Silver Shadow's ability to evolve into this form was precisely one of the benefits that Zhou Yuan obtained from the mystic ruins stone tablet. Silver Shadow’s Genesis Qi foundation had soared to the level of 3.5 billion, but that still wasn’t enough against powerful enemies such as Jia Tu.
After all, one’s Genesis Qi strength couldn’t be added together in such a simple way. Zhou Yuan’s 4.3 billion foundation and Silver Shadow’s 3.5 billion couldn’t be equaled to 7.8 billion.
But if the Silver God Rune was fused with Zhou Yuan, it would no doubt increase his strength tremendously.
This was also one of the trump cards he prepared for Jia Tu.
Zhou Yuan's eyes were chilling when he clenched his hand. The Heavenly Yuan Brush appeared in his grip in a flash and its sharp tip pointed towards Jia Tu from a distance.
“Huh?” Jia Tu raised his brows in surprise. Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi foundation hadn’t changed much, but his bearing was much more imposing.
However, Jia Tu’s expression was still calm and composed. He nodded with interest as if the prey chosen to go on the beast fighting stage suddenly erupted with terrifying strength and caught his attention.
But no matter how frantically the prey erupted, it was always just a prey, and its purpose was to entertain him.
The prey would be killed once the fun was over.
"Zhou Yuan, let’s see how much fun you can bring me.”
As his voice faded, Jia Tu vanished again.
A terrifying offensive was launched again.
Chapter 1188 Four Rays of Sword Light
Boom!
Two figures streaked across the sky like lightning bolts, producing ear-piercing sonic booms.
A terrifying Genesis Qi storm broke out from the two, engulfing everything in the way as it raged across the area. The shock waves from the battle constantly tore apart the mountains and rivers below. Many people couldn’t help but shudder at the two’s destructive power.
Shua!
Jia Tu suddenly appeared on Zhou Yuan’s right as if teleported. He blasted out a fist and a Genesis Qi torrent roared into the sky like an enrage
d dragon, enveloping Zhou Yuan with destructive force.
But just as it neared Zhou Yuan, he beat the silver wings behind him. He reappeared hundreds of feet away, swiftly evading Jia Tu's terrifying offensive.
He previously wasn’t as fast as Jia Tu, but with the help of Silver Shadow’s new form and the pair of silver wings, his speed increased tremendously and helped him avoid Jia Tu's attack.
But Zhou Yuan didn't dare to relax, because his speed was only at the same level as Jia Tu even with Silver Shadow’s help.
Bang!
Therefore, Zhou Yuan had only just retreated when Jia Tu's cold laughter rang in his ears.
Genesis Qi palms hurled down like a rainstorm.
Even Zhou Yuan couldn’t evade such an offensive with his remarkable speed, and had no choice but to face it with full-strength.
Boom!
Genesis Qi undulated, and a giant thousand-feet Genesis Qi wave broke out.
Zhou Yuan finally had the strength to endure Jia Tu’s terrifying offensive through Silver Shadow’s new form, but Jia Tu still had the upper hand when the two faced head-on.
His 5.6 billion Genesis Qi foundation completely suppressed Zhou Yuan.
“Great Flame Devil!” roared Zhou Yuan.
Crimson streaks appeared all over his body. The temperature in the air steadily climbed, causing the void to twist and distort.
“Million Whale!”
His bodily strength and Genesis Qi within his body swiftly merged together. The ancient whale shadow hovered out, and as he swung the mottled brush, even the clouds shattered under the berserk force.
He could kill even Xu Lei with his brush’s present power.
Zhou Yuan had unreservedly brought out all his means to deal with Jia Tu.
“Oh.” Jia Tu smiled in response to the terrifying offensive rushing towards him. “Finally a decent attack."
Although he said this, he showed no intention of drawing back and instead, he strode forward and formed a mysterious fist seal with his hand.
“The Great Lion Seal!”
As the fist seal slammed out, there seemed to be a deafening lion roar reverberating throughout the world. Jia Tu’s fist seal seemed to have transformed into a giant ancient lion, shuttling through time and space and clashed with the Heavenly Yuan Brush with boundless fierceness.
