Creak!
When the two forces touched, Zhou Yuan felt the entire world gradually begin to warp. Mountains and rivers began to distort and flicker. The mountains were lifted into the air, while giant rivers began to flow into the distance.
It felt as if an originally lifeless world had suddenly been exposed to the source of life.
All of this was happening because the Ancestral Dragon Flame had been set aflame.
As the flesh was burned by the lantern’s fire, a golden oil-like liquid emerged. Zhou Yuan could faintly sense a great power within it.
The golden liquid dripped from the flesh, landing between Yaoyao’s brows, instantly disappearing upon contact.
Mysterious runes slowly began to spread from between Yaoyao’s brows.
Cang Yuan exhaled as he revealed a smile. “Once this piece of Ancestral Dragon Flesh is burnt away, Yaoyao should awaken.”
Zhou Yuan felt as if a heavy load had been lifted from his shoulders, his taunt body instantly relaxing in relief.
However, the entire domain suddenly began to shake.
Zhou Yuan jerked his head upwards, his pupils shrinking when he saw a boundless and majestic power gather in the sky, forming a giant face that coldly watched everything that was happening in the domain.
It was not an unfamiliar face, because it belonged to supreme sovereign Wan Zu!
Chapter 1211 Four Saints
As a huge face emerged outside the domain, a terrifying oppressive pressure seeped into the domain like the might of heaven, causing it to vibrate violently as if about to collapse.
“He really came.” “
Zhou Yuan tensely stared at the familiar face, which belonged to supreme sovereign Wan Zu.
Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, Cang Yuan raised his head and smiled, "Wan Zu, you still haven't given up after so many years.”
The huge face rippled and an indifferent but majestic voice resounded, "Cang Yuan, you secretly stole the Special Divine Stone and destroyed all-heavens’ hope. That is already a heinous crime.”
Cang Yuan shook his head. "Don't put that label on me. I did that for all heavens. What you are doing is too extreme and would only destroy all heavens. I can't just sit back and watch you.”
Supreme sovereign peered through the domain and fixed his gaze on the crystal coffin, saying indifferently, "Cang Yuan, she hasn’t awakened yet. There is still time to change your decision. Hand her over and we can forget everything you have done in the past.”
Cang Yuan smiled faintly. “Wan Zu, do you think I will give up?”
Supreme sovereign Wan Zu fell silent for a moment and then said, "It seems like we have to settle everything between us with a match.”
Cang Yuan’s arms drooped down and his expression was relaxed, but Zhou Yuan could feel an indescribable majestic force exuding from his thin body.
Under that tremendous power, wails echoed throughout the domain and the world changed color.
Two sacred lotus gradually appeared and bloomed on Cang Yuan's shoulders.
Double Lotus stage!
He knew there was no use in negotiating with Wan Zu because they had completely different stances. They were not on the same path even if they were both Saints of all-heavens.
The giant face outside twisted and transformed into countless rays of light. The light rays swiftly converged to form a figure, which was supreme sovereign Wan Zu’s real body.
Two lotus flowers similarly sat on his shoulders.
"Cang Yuan, they say you are most likely to become the fourth prime sovereign of the Omega Shrine, but I don’t believe it,” said supreme sovereign Wan Zu indifferently.
Supreme sovereign Wan Zu began cultivation much earlier than Cang Yuan and had reached the Double Lotus stage long ago but he still hadn’t reached the triple lotus stage.
Therefore, he felt that if the Special Divine Stone was refined, the triple lotus stage Saints in all-heavens would surpass the Sacred Race and might even break through into an unprecedented cultivation realm!
At that time, they might be able to contend with the Sacred Race’s Sacred God.
Unfortunately, Cang Yuan destroyed their plan.
“You'll believe it after a fight!" Cang Yuan's tone was simple and ordinary, but an unconcealable domineering aura suddenly rose from him.
Awe filled the eyes of Chi Jing and the others. Although Cang Yuan hadn't revealed his divine power in years, no one could forget that supreme sovereign Cang Yuan once had the name called the Black Emperor.
Such a domineering name was forged from his impressive accomplishments in the world-ending war back then, when many Saints in the Sacred Race were killed!
The clash between two Saints caused even the sun, moon and the stars to tremble.
It was at that moment when Zhou Yuan realized that although he could see the battle in front, there might be other Saints fighting in places he couldn’t see and perceive.
This was because the matter concerned two different factions.
The highest-level factions of two heavens.
While Zhou Yuan was in deep thoughts, a black hole emerged outside the domain and spewed out a pearl.
The pearl gradually grew larger as it drifted and eventually transformed into a strange-looking man. Long black hair draped over his back and fluttered around him though no wind stirred the air. Every strand of hair seemed to contain a strange force.
He simply stood there, but there seemed to the shadows of thousands of ghosts reflected in the space behind him.
The strange man fiddled with a string of dark red beads on his wrist as said with a smile, "It's so lively here, it wasn’t easy to sneak in.”
Zhou Yuan’s expression changed dramatically when he saw the strange-looking man because he recognized him. He was the supreme sovereign from Hunyuan Heaven’s Yaogui Region. It was said that every strand of his hair could be turned into a puppet, and when millions of hairs were activated simultaneously, they formed a tremendous and terrifying torrent of puppets.
The demonic-looking man gave a smile that was even more stunning than that of a woman. "Cang Yuan, the Saints of all-heavens are watching. Since you have chosen another path to us, you are considered on the opposite side to us. We need to complete our plan, so don’t blame us.”
“Supreme sovereign Yao Gui, are you worried that I will join hands with master, and supreme sovereign Wan Zu will lose? That’s why you did your utmost to come here." A laughter resounded as Zhuan Zhu came to stand next to Cang Yuan. He looked at the strange man outside the domain with a smile.
Supreme sovereign Yao Gui swept a glance over Zhuan Zhu and smacked his lips. ”Kid, you are quite amazing. I didn’t think you would become a Saint.”
He didn’t refute this statement. Although Zhuan Zhu was only at the single lotus stage, he was still a Saint. It was already unpredictable whether Wan Zu could win against Cang Yuan, and if Zhuan Zhu helped Cang Yuan, Wan Zu almost had no chance of winning. The reason Yao Gui came was indeed to target Zhuan Zhu even if it seemed he was here to deal with Cang Yuan.
Yi Yan and the others felt their scalps numb when they saw that scene. After all, four Saints were standing facing each other.
Cang Yuan turned his head back to look at the Ancestral Dragon Lantern burning in the crystal coffin and reminded Zhou Yuan, "Protect Yaoyao.”
Zhou Yuan nodded solemnly. “Anyone who wants to hurt Yaoyao must step over my corpse first.”
Cang Yuan smiled. He still remembered that Zhou Yuan had said the same thing when he entrusted Yaoyao to Zhou Yuan back then.
"Let's go, you and I will join hands today." Cang Yuan didn't say much and just greeted Zhuan Zhu. With one step, the two appeared directly outside the domain.
The might of a Saint was too terrifying and could cause a domain to collapse if a fight broke out.
The four Saints stood facing each other outside the domain.
Layers of space twisted and gradually concealed the four figures but
the terrifying pressure released from them still made people shudder with fear.
However, just as Cang Yuan and Zhuan Zhu left, a boundless force suddenly descended from outside the domain. When such a powerful force touched the domain walls, an incomparably huge boundary appeared to obstruct the force.
But cracks still spread across the boundary under the constant force.
Then, Chi Jing, Zhou Yuan and the others turned increasingly solemn as they saw streams of light enter through those cracks.
Those streams of light contained the aura of the Law Domain and Nascent Source stage.
Chi Jing's short burgundy hair fluttered gently, but her eyes grew fierce and sharp.
"Everyone, it's time for us to act.”
Hearing what Chi Jing said, Zhou Yuan exhaled deeply. He turned his head and again glanced at Yaoyao in the crystal coffin, and then he balled his hands into fists. The Nascent Source sitting cross-legged in his Divine Dwellings opened its eyes and vast Genesis Qi began to surge.
I have worked incredibly hard for many years for today. Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed murderous intent. Whoever tries to cause trouble today must die!
Chapter 1212 Face the Enemies
Streams of light tunneled through the cracks in the boundary and smashed into the ground like meteors.
The streams of light all emitted waves of terrifying Genesis Qi.
It was clear that, in addition to the two supreme sovereigns from the Wanzu Region and Yaogui Region, other Law Domain and Nascent Source experts also infiltrated the boundary.
Although the boundary blocked more enemies from coming through, those who sneaked in were still dangers that had to be taken care of.
Cang Yuan and Zhuan Zhu had already taken action and there were two Saints on the opponent’s side. Therefore, they would likely reach a stalemate. The opponents would succeed in their goal if any Law Domain or Nascent Source experts managed to break through the defense and cause interference to the Ancestral Dragon Lantern.
“We will deal with the three Law Domain experts that sneaked in.” Chi Jing looked at Zhou Yuan, Zhao Yuefu, Xue Qinglong, and Yi Yan. “There should be a higher number of people at the Nascent Source stage who sneaked in. You guys should form the last line of defuse and stop them from advancing.”
Zhou Yuan and the others nodded.
Chi Jing immediately sped away with Mu Ni and sect master Xuan Kun.
At the same time, three incomparably huge Law Domains spread across the area, enveloping the light rays that sneaked into the boundary. They specifically targeted Nascent Source experts to try to get rid of as many as possible to reduce the burden of Zhou Yuan and the others.
“Haha, Chi Jing, why are you targeting the Nascent Source experts? I am your opponent.”
As the three Law Domains expanded, a laughter echoed throughout the world and an ear-piercing sonic boom whizzed across. A Law Domain swiftly emerged and collided with Chi Jing’s.
Boom!
The collision shook the world, setting off monstrous Genesis Qi shock waves.
"Zhao Xiansun!" Chi Jing floated in the sky as her Wind God Law Domain roared around her, before turning into million gusts of astral spirit wind. She glared coldly at the figure in front of her. It was Zhao Xiansun from the Wanzu Region!
Zhao Xiansun was situated inside his own Law Domain and formed a giant falcon at his feet with his Law Domain power. The giant falcon exuded a fierce and wild aura as though real. Its terrifying power was unbearable to even those at the Nascent Source stage.
Another two figures stood behind Zhao Xiansun and also expanded their Law Domains.
One was also from the Wanzu Region and the other was a man with fair skin and no brows and was fiddling with the beads in his hands. He was called Zhen Yu, a Law Domain expert from the Yaogui Region.
Chi Jing swept a mocking glance over Zhao Xiansun, “You said you wanted to compete against my senior brother. He has gone to face a supreme sovereign from the Yaogui Region, but you are only assigned here.”
Zhao Xiansun’s face stiffened and a sullen look flashed across his eyes. This was because the matter of Zhuan Zhu becoming a Saint was always a thorn in his heart.
He was always unhappy that Zhuan Zhu had the title of strongest at the Law Domain stage, but he never thought Zhuan Zhu would ascend to the Saint stage at such a critical moment.
"Chi Jing, don’t waste your breath. The Tianyuan Region has stood on the wrong side this time and you guys will pay the price!”
“Nonsense,” sneered Chi Jin.
Their gazes collided, and an icy killing intent gushed out from their eyes.
Boom!
As the six Law Domain experts stepped forward, space quickly distorted and the six Law Domains collided in an earth-shattering manner.
Zhou Yuan, Zhao Yuefu, Xue Qinglong, and Yi Yan wore solemn expressions as they stood on the mountain summit and watched the Law Domains collision.
“There are more Nascent Source experts on the opponent’s side compared to us.” Zhao Yuefu narrowed his eyes as the streams of light pierced the voids.
"There are three perfect Nascent Source experts and three advanced Nascent Source experts.” Xue Qinglong frowned. They clearly came prepared. Furthermore, there were some Nascent source trapped in the boundary that would break out sometime in the future.
The situation was very unfavorable to them.
“It’s going to be really troublesome. If supreme sovereign Zhuan Zhu had taken one more perfect Nascent Source expert here, we wouldn’t be in such a situation,” complained Xue Qinglong.
Zhao Yuefu and Yi Yan didn’t respond as if they hadn’t heard anything. How would they not understand her meaning from those words. There was a limit on the number of people he could bring and he would have to get rid of one person to bring another perfect Nascent Source expert.
As for who to replace, it goes without saying that Xue Qinglong was referring to Zhou Yuan who was standing next to her.
She had always acted in such a way, just like a hedgehog. She dared to speak bluntly even in front of supreme sovereign Zhuan Zhu. However, she had amazing talent. Among the three, Zhao Yuefu, who was ranked 7th on the Nascent Source List, was the strongest. Xue Qinglong was ranked 15th and Yi Yan was the worst and wasn’t even ranked in the top 30.
Zhou Yuan naturally heard Xue Qinglong’s words and couldn’t help but say with a smile, "Elder Xue, although I’ve only just reached the advanced Nascent Source stage, I think I can go up against someone at the perfect Nascent Source stage.”
Not only was Xue Qinglong taken aback at Zhou Yuan’s words, even Zhao Yuefu and Yi Yan stared at him in surprise.
"I don’t doubt grand elder Zhou Yuan’s talent. I have never met someone who can directly reach the advanced Nascent Source stage in my many years of cultivation. It’s just that you perhaps might not know about the gap between the Nascent Source stages.” Xue Qinglong explained.
However, Zhou Yuan waved his hand dismissively and directly ordered, “I will leave the three perfect Nascent Source experts to elders and I will deal with the three advanced Nascent Source experts.”
The three were silent for a moment. Zhou Yuan wants to fight against three?
Yi Yan, who had a good relationship with Zhou Yuan, couldn't help reminding, “Grand elder Zhou Yuan, you should be more cautious. Those three are elites at the advanced Nascent Source stage and are not normal nobodies.”
Zhou Yuan nodded
The three couldn’t say anything more seeing Zhou Yuan’s persistence. After all, Zhou Yuan was a grand elder of the Tianyuan Region and had a higher status than them. Moreover, they couldn’t underestimate him anymore after the battle of Guyuan Heaven.
For example, Xue Qinglong with his proud personality, wouldn’t pay attention to Zhou Yuan, let alone listen to his orders if it was before the battle.
Zhou Yuan stood on his tiptoe and soared into the air
Watching him from behind, the three exchanged glances and looked a l
ittle helpless.
Xue Qinglong frowned and said, “Grand elder Zhou Yuan is too arrogant. The Nascent Source stage isn’t a child’s play like the Heavenly Sun stage.”
“Elder Xue, speak less.” Yi Yan shook his head. “Grand elder Zhou Yuan is very capable. He suppressed the Heavenly Sun experts in his generation. Were we able to do so when we were at the Heavenly Sun stage? Since he said he can stop three advanced Nascent Source experts, we should believe him.”
Xue Qinglong was silent. Zhou Yuan's accomplishment was indeed impressive, but she still thought the same—The waters in the Nascent Source stage were much deeper than that in the Heavenly Sun stage.
Seeing her finally calmed down, Zhao Yuefu and Yi Yan both breathed an inward sigh of relief. Immediately afterwards, they assumed a solemn and serious expression. When they moved, they instantly appeared in the distant sky and each locked their eyes on an enemy of the perfect Nascent Source stage.
The three perfect Nascent Source experts who broke in were all powerful and ranked on the Nascent Source List.
It was going to be a bitter and long battle.
At the same time, Zhou Yuan appeared on a sword-like mountain summit, calmly sat watching three figures speed over with his hands clasped behind his back.
The three were all enemies at the advanced Nascent Source stage.
The Nascent Source sitting with its eyes closed in Zhou Yuan’s Divine Dwellings suddenly opened its eyes and mighty Genesis Qi began to circulate.
This was his first battle at the Nascent Source stage.
He wanted to use the three powerful enemies of the advanced Nascent Source stage to test his current strength.
They will act as his testing stones.
Chapter 1213 First Battle at the Nascent Source Stage
Zhou Yuan stood atop a mountain that was so steep it resembled a sword’s edge. As a sea of clouds rolled over, it was split into two by the mountain summit.
Then, the sea of clouds in the distance suddenly stirred and three silhouettes flashed in front of Zhou Yuan as if it had teleported.
“I didn’t think I would have a chance to fight grand elder Zhou Yuan, who has gained such great renown recently. We are really lucky.” The three immediately locked their gaze on Zhou Yuan, and then, a loud laughter rang across the sky, stirring the clouds again.
