Unfortunately for Jin Lan, after a month of Yaoyao’s special training, Zhou Yuan’s battle power had soared to a completely new high.
Under numerous gazes, Zhou Yuan’s figure also rose into the air, ultimately coming to a stop in front of the giant golden beast.
Compared to the giant creature, Zhou Yuan looked like an ant.
“Zhou Yuan, show me what kind of capabilities you have to make such a claim!” The golden beast’s voice boomed like thunder.
After taking on his true form, Jin Lan began to be influenced by the Golden Monkey Clan’s savage nature, his eerie eyes locking onto Zhou Yuan.
Rumble!
Boundless golden light surged as a vast Genesis Qi pressure spread.
The Genesis Qi undulations had reached a hundred billion!
Zhou Yuan paid no attention to Jin Lan’s thunderous roar. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes.
Platinum Genesis Qi soared out from the top of his head, seemingly coloring the entire horizon in a platinum glow.
Roar!
The platinum Genesis Qi turned into a sea of platinum as the roar of an ancient dragon echoed.
The silhouette of a giant dragon seemed to surface within the sea.
Zhou Yuan slowly raised his hands as the platinum Genesis Qi surged. Moments later, a strange sound was heard.
It seemed to be some kind of sound wave that made the surrounding Genesis Qi boil.
The sea above his head gradually receded and an object slowly descended.
Countless gazes looked over and found a giant platinum bell.
A mysterious dragon silhouette coiled around the giant bell. Countless ancient and cryptic Genesis Runes had been carved into it.
Zhou Yuan hoisted the bell and aimed its mouth at Jin Lan as if he was holding a cannon.
The corners of his mouth slowly lifted.
The reason why he had made his earlier suggestion was because this move took a long time to prepare...
“Mr target, are you ready?” Zhou Yuan softly chuckled as terrifying light converged towards the black mouth of the bell. A frightening sound wave was suddenly fired.
“Heavenly Dragon Golden Bell!”
Roar!
It was the loudest and most beautiful sound!
All of Jin Lan’s scales suddenly stood up. He could sense death flooding towards him like the tide.
Below, horrified looks emerged on the faces of the many Golden Monkey Clan experts.
Chapter 1234 Subdued by the Cannon
Bzz!
When the giant bell rang, all sound in the world seemed to disappear. The only thing everyone could hear was the dragon-roar-like-chime filling their ears.
Although the bell was aimed at Jin Lan, numerous Golden Monkey Clan members below had looks of agony on their faces. Some of the experts that were below the Nascent Source stage even began to bleed from their ears.
Despite the intense discomfort, everyone’s gazes were still tightly glued to the sky.
A torrent-like sound wave that could be seen by the naked eyes shot from the bell’s mouth. The sound wave took the form of a dragon, destroying even Genesis Qi as it swept forth, leaving an empty Genesis-Qi-less space in its wake.
Such power made the expressions of the numerous watching Golden Monkey Clan experts change drastically.
Roar!
Jin Lan also released a mighty howl. There was no longer any trace of amusement in its giant beast eyes, but instead a sense of dread. The power of Zhou Yuan’s attack had made Jin Lan feel a trace of death.
Hence, he did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent.
Millions of resplendent rays abruptly shot out from Jin Lan’s body. The golden light flowed across his enormous body like liquid gold, swiftly condescending into a layer of sparkling holy golden armor.
The golden armor looked rather sinister with golden spikes sticking out from it, so sharp that they could tear the fabric of space.
From a distance, he looked like a golden-armored beast that heralded destruction.
Meanwhile, Jin Lan's deep roar rang out, “Liquid Gold Holy Armor Art!”
It was defensive Saint Genesis Art of the Golden Monkey Clan that bestowed astonishing defensive power. Together with the Golden Monkey Clan’s already strong bodies, the combination was basically indestructible.
Evidently, Jin Lan was raising his defensive power to the max to take on Zhou Yuan’s attack.
Rumble!
The sound-wave-torrent was far too quick, arriving the instant Jin Lan’s golden armor was formed. Space violently rippled around him as the dragon-shaped sound wave smashed into his body like a meteor.
Thud!
A loud sound accompanied the impact. Sound waves unfurled in a circular pattern, instantly disintegrating the nearby mountains to dust.
Before the waves could travel any further, they suddenly vanished into nothingness.
The two elders, Jin Jie and Jin Jin had neutralized the waves. This was the Golden Monkey Clan’s ancestral land after all, and they could not possibly allow Zhou Yuan to wreak too much destruction.
Jin Jie’s old face was somewhat stormy. He glanced at Zhou Yuan, considering whether to secretly attack him, but could only withdraw such thoughts as he looked towards the nearby Yaoyao, who was carrying Tuntun with a calm expression.
Even their clan leader was so courteous towards this girl. If he tried anything funny, it would likely be detected in an instant and backfire on him instead.
In the sky, the terrifying shockwaves finally scattered.
Countless gazes looked over.
The giant golden beast stood in the air, its golden armor still shining dazzlingly. It was a majestic sight to behold.
He seemed to have withstood the attack?
Several Golden Monkey Clan experts began to cheer.
Jin Ya, whose body had been tense since the start, breathed a deep sigh of relief as a proud smile appeared on her face.
As expected, my elder brother won’t lose!
Zhou Yuan had been so arrogant, but he had ultimately ended up smashing his own foot with a rock.
While they were rejoicing, none of them noticed Jin Jie’s and Jin Jin’s expressions slowly turning grim.
“As expected of supreme sovereign Cang Yuan’s disciple.” A sigh was heard. The crowd looked over and found that the speaker was clan leader Jin Yanghuang.
Many Golden Monkey Clan members were stunned.
Boom!
A muffled boom suddenly sounded from the giant golden beast in the sky. Gaze after gaze watched in horror as its golden armor and scales shattered to pieces, releasing sprays of bloody mist.
A howl of pain rang out from Jin Lan’s giant mouth.
Below, the smile on Jin Ya’s face instantly turned rigid.
“How can this be…” The other Golden Monkey Clan members were also utterly shocked.
In the sky, the giant golden beast’s body rapidly began to shrink, ultimately returning to its human form as it stumbled in the air.
Jin Lan’s complexion was deathly pale, and blood was flowing from nearly every pore of his body. The powerful Genesis Qi around his body had weakened tremendously, creating a rather pitiful sight.
Evidently, Zhou Yuan’s attack had seriously injured him.
Jin Lan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as he stared at Zhou Yuan with a complicated expression. “Was that a Greater Saint Genesis Art?”
Such power had already surpassed ordinary Saint Genesis Arts. The sound wave was far too unreasonable and domineering, easily bypassing his physical defenses to wreak havoc inside his body. It was the nemesis of a strong physical body.
Zhou Yuan did not answer the question. “Thank you for letting me win.”
The attack had honestly surprised him as well. The Heavenly Dragon Golden Bell was clearly just an ordinary Saint Genesis Art, but when activated with the Heavenly Dragon Qi, its power did not lose to a Greater Saint Genesis Art. In fact, the uniqueness of the soun
d-based attack made it superior in certain aspects.
Jin Lan’s expression fluctuated indeterminately. How could he not know by now that Zhou Yuan’s ‘one move wager’ was a trap...
The sound-based Greater Genesis Art specialized in penetrating physical defenses, the forte of Genesis Beast Clans like them.
Although the technique was powerful, it had its weakness: it took a long time to prepare. If not for the one move wager, Jin Lan could have used other methods to avoid the attack. He could have retreated from its range, or even neutralized a part of it and try to endure the rest. At the very least, he would not have sustained such serious injuries.
He had previously assumed Zhou Yuan was overly arrogant, but now, it seemed that it had all been an act.
And yet, Jin Lan had stepped right into it, leaving him a bloodied mess.
Jin Lan found the result rather hard to accept. He had lost before he could show his many cards. However, he did not say anything in the end. After all, a loss was a loss, and any excuses would instead bring shame to their Golden Monkey Clan.
If someone dug a pit for you, you could only blame yourself for being stupid enough to fall in.
Huu.
Jin Lan exhaled before he said to Zhou Yuan, “I’ve lost. You will be Little Ancestor’s partner.”
A clean and straightforward admission.
His response surprised Zhou Yuan a little. The opponent should already know that he had used a cheap trick, but did not say anything about it. It seemed that the number one Golden Monkey Clan Nascent Source expert had his own pride.
Jin Lan calmly said, “However, you should know that your victory was partially because you took advantage of a certain trick. In addition, your ‘one move wager’ won’t be of any use in the Dragon Spirit Utopia because none of Wanshou Heaven’s other apex experts will agree to such rules. Hence, if you truly want to support Little Ancestor and not mooch off it, you better pay more attention in the Dragon Spirit Utopia.”
Zhou Yuan chuckled. Although Jin Lan’s words showed that was still somewhat unconvinced of his defeat, it was also a reminder to Zhou Yuan. Moreover, he could tell that Jin Lan was quite respectful towards Tuntun.
He waved his hand and did not say anything in response. To be honest, it would not be difficult to beat Jin Lan even without such tactics. However, he felt no need to because it was nor a life or death battle and he did not need to reveal all of his cards.
The two individuals descended from the sky.
The Golden Monkey Clan members had complicated expressions. After all, none of them had expected this outcome.
However, no one cast any indignant gazes towards Zhou Yuan. Even Jin Ya could only grit her teeth and accept the result.
In Wanshou Heaven, strength was everything.
With the strength Zhou Yuan had displayed, no one dared to treat him as an ordinary advanced Nascent Source expert.
Moreover, he had proved that he had the qualifications to be Little Ancestor’s partner, and had not gained the spot through pulling strings.
Jin Linger’s eyes were nearly popping from their sockets as she stared at Zhou Yuan in disbelief. She still could not believe that he had triumphed over Jin Lan. One must know that initial Nascent Source experts like them were the lowest existances in the Nascent Source stage. However, Zhou Yuan was an outlier. They had entered the Nascent Source stage at the same time, but he had already begun to stand shoulder to shoulder to the apex Nascent Source experts.
In the face of such an abnormality, Jin Linger could only call him a monster inside. It was no wonder that Little Ancestor had specially called him over.
Tuntun’s figure appeared on Zhou Yuan’s head and patted him with its paw.
Beautiful! A word appeared in Zhou Yuan’s head, cheekily bouncing around. In the end, the word turned into Tuntun’s smiling face. It was basically an emoticon.
“Since our young friend Zhou Yuan has won, we shall entrust lord Ancestor Taotie to you.” Jin Yanghuang laughed heartily. Although he felt it somewhat regrettable that Jin Lan had lost, experts at his level did not overly concern themselves with the result.
“There should be half a month till the Dragon Spirit Utopia opens. We invite both of you to stay in the clan till it opens.
“I will also get someone to send you all the information we have on the Dragon Spirit Utopia.”
Jin Yanghuang displayed his magnanimity and did not make things difficult. Of course, Zhou Yuan understood that the clan leader was only so amiable because of Yaoyao. His status as Cang Yuan’s disciple was obviously not enough to bring out such courtesy. In fact, he would likely have no chance to even catch a glimpse of the clan leader.
He could not help but sigh inwardly.
My wife is way too amazing!
Chapter 1235 Evil Beast Clan
“The Dragon Spirit Utopia was a world transformed from a wisp of remnant spirit of the Ancestral Dragon but the most mysterious thing was that the universe Genesis Qi within the Dragon Spirit Utopia has a huge refining effect on one’s flesh and blood. In other words, it is a sacred cultivation land to Genesis beasts.
“Additionally, there is a well-known object in the Dragon Spirit Utopia called the Ancestral Spirit Fruit, which is born from the combination of the Ancestral Dragon’s remnant spirit and universe Genesis Qi, and it can greatly strengthen one’s Spirit.
"But the most important thing is the mountain called the Ancestral Spirit Mountain in the depths of Dragon Spirit Utopia. The mountain is incredibly mysterious and seemed to possess spiritual intellect. There is an ancient beast platform divided into levels built on the Ancestral Spirit Mountain and the person who could occupy the top of the battle platform and defend it will receive the Ancestral Spirit Mountain’s gift, which is a great opportunity.”
Yaoyao softly explained its origin in front of a secluded bamboo building in the depths of a lush green mountain.
Zhou Yuan and Tuntun sat cross-legged in front of her like two good students, though Tuntun already knew about its origin.
Yaoyao glanced at Tuntun and said, “Tuntun needs the gift from the Ancestral Spirit Mountain, which would allow him to progress further in his cultivation and reach grade 8 or even shorten the time he needs to reach grade 9.”
Zhou Yuan couldn’t help smacking his lips. Grade 8 was equivalent to the Law Domain stage and grade 9 was the Saint stage.
"I don’t know why it is taking you so long. I thought Alpha Holy Beast should reach grade 8 directly, but you’re only around the same level as me,” teased Zhou Yuan as he glanced at Tuntun.
Tuntun simply grinned when he heard Zhou Yuan’s ridicule.
Yaoyao explained, "Alpha Holy Beast can’t be measured using conventional reasoning. You gradually cultivate your strength by absorbing universe Genesis Qi, but Alpha Holy Beast’s power comes from their bloodline. Their power is not dependent on universe Genesis Qi but on themselves.
“This means Tuntun doesn’t need to painstakingly cultivate for years but he only needs the key to unlock his bloodline. Once he gets the key, he could even soar to become a Saint in one leap.”
Zhou Yuan’s mouth fell open, somewhat resentful. As he thought, the so-called Alpha Holy Beast was abnormal because for cultivators like him, it was like a fairytale to become a Saint in one step.
Tuntun stretched out his claws and pointed at Zhou Yuan while laughing.
Zhou Yuan smiled and sat down next to Yaoyao. He held her little delicate hand and raised his brows at Tuntun.
Tuntun’s mouth twitched. He took out a stone slab and wrote a large word: ‘Pervert!’
Then, he wrote again: ‘Boss, ignore him!’ and added a drawing of himself with a tearful expression.
Yaoyao was amused and annoyed at the same time seeing them fooling around, but she could feel a faint warmth filling her heart. She was always disinterested in everything in the world and only they could make her feel warm emotions flowing in her heart.
So she didn't stop the two. She
let Zhou Yuan hold her hand while she took out a jade gourd with the other and elegantly took a sip.
Clang!
It was at that moment that a clamour of bells resounded from the ancestral land of the Golden Monkey Clan.
Zhou Yuan trembled a little as he said, “What’s going on?”
While Zhou Yuan was bewildered, the space rippled and a voice spread over.
"Your Excellency Yaoyao, little friend Zhou Yuan, and Your Excellency Little Ancestor, please come to the conference pavilion.”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed because he recognized the voice belonged to clan leader Jin Yanghuang.
As he turned to Yaoyao, who was putting away the jade gourd, she urged, “Let’s go and see.”
After all, they were guests in the Golden Monkey Clan and so should give the clan leader face.
As Yaoyao's voice faded, she flicked her sleeve and a stretch of brilliant light rolled up Zhou Yuan and Tuntun. Space around them suddenly twisted and directly consumed them.
The world in front of Zhou Yuan turned to a blur, and by the time he regained consciousness he was already situated inside a spacious hall. The hall was noisy and crowded with many cultivators from the Golden Monkey Clan.
Sitting on a higher platform in the conference pavilion, Jin Yanghuang wore a solemn expression. He immediately nodded at Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan when they appeared.
Yaoyao seated herself, and Zhou Yuan quickly followed her with Tuntun on his head.
Their appearance undoubtedly attracted many gazes. After all, Zhou Yuan’s name had stirred many waves within the Golden Monkey Clan. Of course, there were many more people curious about Yaoyao’s identity. After all, it was obvious that their clan leader was incredibly respectful and polite to the astonishingly beautiful girl.
Once Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan arrived, Jin Yanghuang ran his gaze across the audience and the hall fell silent.
Jin Yanghuang's expression was somewhat grave when he said, “ I gathered everyone here because something major has happened.”
Everyone's hearts froze for a moment. What happened? Even Jin Yanghuang said it is a major event?
