Countless screams of terror resounded.
No one could enter the core area except Jia Tu. But now that the core area had fallen into Zhou Yuan’s hands, there was even more nothing they could do and could only helplessly watch on.
Ah! Ah!
Then, roars of anger, despair and fear rang one another another.
Once Zhou Yuan reversed the boundary, it would lead to a devastating outcome for them.
Unlike the Sacred Race, everyone from the five heavens watched the scene with complicated gazes, and when they looked at the shrivelled figure, their eyes brimmed with admiration and awe.
Hua!
Countless people bowed their heads in Zhou Yuan’s directions with their hands on their chest, performing the most respectful ceremony from ancient times.
What Zhou Yuan had done was enough to make his name spread throughout the five heavens.
It was also at that moment when Zhou Yuan inserted the formation flag in his hand into the mountain summit amidst gazes of despair and anger from the Sacred Race team.
Zhou Yuan smiled at Jia Tu.
“Apologies, I reversed the situation again.”
Chapter 1193 Boundary Reverse Swallows
Boom!
The entire boundary suddenly shook violently as Zhou Yuan inserted the formation flag into its core area, and the boundary’s orderly movement, which was controlled by the most central position, was immediately halted.
Swoosh!
At the same time, the flags put up at the nodes that the five heavens team members had destroyed also vibrated and buzzed simultaneously, responding to the call from the most central position.
Those formation flags had little effect in ordinary times, but once the boundary’s core was destroyed, the seemingly ordinary-looking flags would rapidly corrode the boundary’s control.
Countless light rays shot up, piercing into the boundary.
The boundary rippled with terrifying waves of energy.
The Sacred Race team began to panic. Their eyes were wide with fear as they stared at the sky. The boundary that they relied on had become the god of death that could take away their lives.
This was because they built the boundary’s source, and now that someone else had taken control of the boundary, the boundary would launch a counteroffensive with its power.
This was the Sacred Derivation Boundary’s reverse swallowing!
No one in the boundary could withstand the reverse swallowing!
Rumble!
Their fear didn’t last long. The world soon quaked and space was directly ripped apart as terrifying power descended from above, striking the many Sacred Race team members with remarkable precision.
Everyone exploded into a puff of blood-colored smoke regardless of how they fought back.
Bang!
Blood-colored smoke curled up from everywhere across the boundary like a spectacular firework show.
Everyone from the five great heavens watched in astonishment. They didn’t feel any pity for the Sacred Race because they knew they would suffer the same ending if they hadn’t broken through the boundary.
But their respect and gratitude for Zhou Yuan grew even stronger after they witnessed such a bloody scene.
“Zhou Yuan!” Jia Tu roared, his eyes about to crack open.
He knew they would suffer a heavy loss, and Zhou Yuan, who resembled a corpse at that moment, was the one who caused all this!
“The Sacred Race won’t let you off lightly for what you have done!” Jia Tu’s voice was filled with murderous intent.
Zhou Yuan said indifferently, “I didn’t think you would be so childish. This is a battle of life and death, do you think Sacred Race’s hatred towards me would be eliminated if I let you all go?”
Jia Tu’s expression turned cold and sinister, and the anger on his face eventually faded. After composing his emotions, he understood Zhou Yuan wouldn’t show mercy to them.
He glanced at the sparks leaping about on his body. The Saint fire was blazing fiercely and once it invaded his body, he would vanish as if never existed.
No one could save him except someone at the Law Domain stage or above.
But even the Saint experts in the Sacred Race couldn’t intervene under Guyuan Heaven’s special rules.
Therefore...he would no doubt die.
Thinking of this, Jia Tu surprisingly was much calmer. He ran his eyes over the boundary and saw his team members constantly reverse-swallowed and exploded into blood-colored smoke. Then, one of his fingers suddenly dropped from his hand.
The severed finger suddenly exploded and a strange light shot out.
The strange light expanded with the wind and formed a black ring.
The black ring swiftly streaked across the sky and appeared above the Sacred Race team, as if teleported. It suddenly erupted with a powerful suction force, trying to draw in as many Sacred Race team members as possible before the boundary reverse-swallowed everyone.
The black ring seemed to lead to another domain.
Zhou Yuan indifferently watched the scene. The black ring, which emitted a chilling aura, was likely a creation of a Saint expert from the Sacred Race. But Zhou Yuan could sense that the black ring had no attack power and could only take away some people.
“You're very cautious. You even prepared a route of retreat,” said Zhou Yuan with a little admiration. It was obvious that Jia Tu prepared such a backup plan in advance. It had to be said that Jia Tu was amazing to think of this even if he knew he had a huge advantage going into the battle.
No wonder he was the strongest at the Heavenly Sun stage in the Sacred Race.
Jia Tu didn't respond. His move could only save their situation a little because the boundary would no doubt swallow at least half of the Sacred Race team.
Moreover, they were the elites of the Sacred Race’s Heavenly Sun stage and shouldn’t be neglected even if the Sacred Race had a remarkable foundation.
Meanwhile, Jia Tu was corroded even more severely by the Saint fire after he severed his finger. The lower half of his body was instantly melted into nothing.
Jia Tu cast an indifferent glance at Zhou Yuan, saying, “Zhou Yuan, you won this time, but do you think you can change anything by giving up your life to do this?”
"The Battle of Guyuan Heaven is divided into four levels and we are only the lowest level. The ancestral qi we are fighting for is only one fifth of the entire Guyuan Heaven.
"In the upper levels of Guyuan Heaven, there are battles at the Nascent Source stage, Law Domain stage and the Saint stage. Our Sacred Race has won the majority of the ancestral qi in Guyuan Heaven in the past. Our Sacred Race is incredibly powerful and you lowly ants can’t be compared to us.
"Moreover, so what if you win a little bit more this time? Can one victory be compared to our Sacred Races’ victories in the past thousands of battles of Guyuan Heaven?
Jia Tu shook his head, saying in a condescending and pitiful voice, "So, even if you win this time, you can't change your lowly ant-like status.”
Zhou Yuan ignored him and his expression remained calm and composed. He knew Jia Tu was trying to provoke him.
There is no need to deal with someone about to die.
Jia Tu pursed his lips and said, "Zhou Yuan, I will be here, watching you die with me.”
Zhou Yuan still ignored him. Instead, he raised his head and looked above the boundary, where a giant black hole appeared. The black hole was restraining nine dragon-like existences. They were the nine main ancestral qi veins in Guyuan Heaven.
His eyes lit up as he surveyed these nine main ancestral veins.
He curved a corner of his dried lips upwards and a hoarse voice came from his throat, “Jia Tu, who said I will die here with you?”
Jia Tu's pupils shrank and he coldly sneered, "You lit a Sant flame by burning your flesh, Spirit, and Genesis Qi. Your body is on the verge of destruction. What else do you have to endure?”
"That's not necessarily true. There i
s something that can save me now."
With a smiling expression in his eyes, he stared at the nine main veins trapped in the huge black hole formed from the Sacred Derivation Boundary. Inside, he felt the existence of an indescribable matter.
If his guess was correct, it should be what he always dreamt of...the Ancestral Dragon Flesh!
He didn’t need much. A little bit could save him from his current state and the rest could still be brought back to Yaoyao.
However, he felt that the so-called Ancestral Dragon Flesh wasn’t something easy to withstand.
But he had no other choice right now.
Hu.
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and his eyes turned cold. Then, his shrivelled figure suddenly soared into the sky under shocked gazes, and sped towards the giant black hole.
Chapter 1194 Ancestral Dragon Flesh
Zhou Yuan soared into the sky and charged into the giant black hole formed from the Sacred Derivation Boundary amidst shocked gazes.
His target was the nine main ancestral qi veins restrained in the black hole!
Bai Xiaolu, Su Youwei and the others all watched anxiously. They could tell Zhou Yuan was attempting to search for a chance to live from the nine main ancestral qi veins.
Otherwise, as Jia Tu said, they both would die.
But they couldn’t do anything to help him and could only pray for him.
Under countless intent gazes, Zhou Yuan entered the black hole, which gathered the boundary’s tremendous power. However, he was considered the controller of the boundary and thus the tremendous power didn’t strike back at him.
He came to the black hole’s depths without any obstruction.
There, nine ancient dragon silhouettes hovered in the air.
The dragons were all different colors, but all radiated an indescribable ancient aura, which was much stronger than the dragon might that Jiang Jinlin and other members of the Mystic Dragon Clan exuded.
Zhou Yuan immediately activated the Decoder Saint Rune to investigate the nine ancient dragon silhouettes. His eyes seemed to penetrate the dragon silhouettes and saw the mysterious matter within them.
Those matters were as subtle as dust and drifted along the nine main ancestral qi veins.
"Ancestral Dragon Flesh!" Zhou Yuan couldn’t help flushing with excitement and his heart pounded wildly inside his chest.
He had been working hard to find the Ancestral Dragon Flesh ever since he arrived at Hunyuan Heaven.
He finally saw the legendary Ancestral Dragon Flesh!
With that and the Ancestral Dragon Lantern, Yaoyao would finally be awakened!
Zhou Yuan’s emotions surged like the tide, but he eventually managed to suppress his churning heart. He felt the indescribable pressure released from the mysterious substance and everything in the world was shuddering under that pressure.
Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment and then activated the Sacred Derivation Boundary’s power.
Boom!
The black hole began to vibrate as invisible power gathered. They pressed on the nine main ancestral qi veins and squeezed out some of the mysterious matter.
"The boundary derived from the Sacred Race’s Saint experts is indeed extraordinary.”
Even Zhou Yuan was a little surprised by the terrifying power contained within the nine main veins. Additionally, they were similar to illusory-like existences, yet the boundary was able to affect and even restrain them.
Evidently, the Sacred Race had put in great efforts for their plan to succeed.
But it had only benefited Zhou Yuan in the end.
Some mysterious matters were squeezed out from the main veins under the boundary’s force and accumulated in front of Zhou Yuan.
As the mysterious matter gathered, something seemed to be birthed.
Zhou Yuan stared at the space in front of him as if something was there. He could feel an indescribable aura of chaos but he couldn’t see anything. It was as if the matter couldn’t be revealed in front of anyone.
That was one of the Ancestral Dragon Flesh’s mysteriousness.
But Zhou Yuan still detected something that was the size of a strand of hair floating there and emitting a power that made him shudder.
It was a lump of Ancestral Dragon Flesh.
It released a terrifying pressure that made Zhou Yuan feel his body and Spirit were on the verge of crumbling.
Boom!
It was also then that the World Subduing Heavenly Dragon Qi within his body buzzed and produced dragon roars that shook his body to dissolve the pressure that the Ancestral Dragon Flesh brought about.
Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that ordinary people couldn’t touch the Ancestral Dragon Flesh. He only dared to step forward because he cultivated the Ancestral Dragon Scripture, which was considered to have the same origin as it.
Fortunately, he was right.
But he still shouldn’t relax completely because the Ancestral Dragon Flesh was the most ancient matter between heaven and earth, and generally speaking, even Nascent Source experts wouldn’t dare to refine it with their strength, let alone him who was only at the Heavenly Sun stage.
But at such a time, he had no other choice.
"Hahaha, Zhou Yuan, so you intend to save yourself with the Ancestral Dragon Flesh!” Jia Tu roared with laughter when he noticed Zhou Yuan’s plan.
His voice was filled with ridicule. “How ignorant are you!”
Jia Tu shook his head and didn't know what else to say. Even if Zhou Yuan had reached the end of his life, at least he could live a little longer. But if he attempted to refine the Ancestral Dragon Flesh, he would be annihilated in an instant.
As the strongest at the Sacred Race’s Heavenly Sun stage, he knew far more secrets than Zhou Yuan. This was why he knew it was stupid and ignorant to attempt to refine the Ancestral Dragon Flesh.
Zhou Yuan ignored his mocking laughter. How wouldn’t Zhou Yuan know about the risks involved? One’s cultivation path was always full of twists and turns. If one didn’t fight with their lives at the critical moments, how could one seize earth shattering opportunities?
A determined glint came to his eyes and he stepped forward without any hesitation. He opened his mouth wide and took a bite of the invisible Ancestral Dragon Flesh in front of him.
Boom!
As the strand-of-hair-like Ancestral Dragon Flesh entered his body, he felt an ancient and vast power exploding inside.
The power was so terrifying that even he felt fearful of what could happen.
“This isn’t good.”
He sighed inwardly. That power was a supreme power in the world and was simply uncontrollable. At the very least, he couldn’t control it with his present strength.
Even though he had cultivated the Ancestral Dragon Scripture!
Ultimately he was still too weak!
Someone at his level couldn’t endure the Ancestral Dragon Flesh’s power.
Zhou Yuan raised his hand and saw his shrivelled arm silently crumbling into dust and drifted away. His flesh was directly decomposed by the Ancestral Dragon Flesh’s power.
Countless people from the five heavens paled at the scene.
Bai Xiaolu also sighed inwardly, her eyes dimming.
“Your Highness!”
Su Youwei sprang up and was about to take a step forward when she suddenly collapsed and tumbled down the hill in front of her. When she finally stabilized herself, she was already severely injured and unable to move an inch.
She stared ashen-faced at the gradually decomposing figure and tremblingly stretched out her slender hand stained with mud as if to hold onto him.
“Your Highness—” she muttered, tears coursing downing her cheeks.
A sorrowful feeling wildly attacked her heart and caused piercing pain.
Wu Yao clenched her hands with an extremely complicated expression on her beautiful face. She stared at the figure and raised her brows. “Zhou Yuan, you can’t die here. I haven't retrieved my Sacred
Dragon Blessing from you yet!”
Zhao Mushen's expression changed indefinitely, and in the end, he stroked his chin, saying, “Zhou Yuan, you can go in peace. I will replace you and become the strongest at the Heavenly Sun stage.”
“Hahaha!”
Jia Tu's laughter reverberated again. He laughed so hard that he almost shed a tear. He was delighted to see Zhou Yuan die in front of him before the Saint fire melt him completely.
Even a Saint expert can’t save that idiot now!
Chapter 1195 Believe in Yaoyao for Eternal Life
Zhou Yuan's body constantly broke down under countless gazes.
First was his arms, legs and then his upper body.
Zhou Yuan noticed the breaking down of his body didn’t cause him any pain, but the Ancestral Dragon Flesh he swallowed into his body was destroying all his vitality with tyrannical willpower.
It was a complete destruction.
As though someone superior eliminated someone inferior.
After all, the Ancestral Dragon Flesh’s power wasn’t something that anyone below the Saint stage could bear.
Zhou Yuan's expression remained particularly calm even in the face of death, because he had already prepared for such a situation. Therefore, he entrusted Su Youwei to help him complete his task if something happened to him.
She would help him bring back the Ancestral Dragon Flesh.
"Yaoyao...it seems I can't watch you wake up,” whispered Zhou Yuan.
He could feel the Ancestral Dragon Flesh he swallowed contained a supreme residual will. That will was so faint that it was almost undetectable, but it was still beyond the grasp of someone at the Heavenly Sun stage.
It should be a residual trace of will of the Ancestral Dragon.
With this will, Zhou Yuan's struggle was futile.
Therefore, he didn’t resist and simply closed his eyes, waiting for everything to return to nothingness.
The decomposition of his body spread rapidly, and soon reached his heart.
However, something happened at that moment!
Everyone saw a flicker of purple-gold light bloom in the depths of Zhou Yuan’s heart. It radiated a mysterious and ancient charm.
