Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

by Translator: Yeow

  All eyes were fixed on the center of the collision.

  Under the many frightened gazes, two powerful forces constantly bombarded and corroded each other.

  The struggle of the two powerful forces lasted for around 10 breaths.

  Both gradually faded, but the outcome of the battle remained to be decided.

  Jiang Hongying breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she could withstand Zhou Yuan's counterattack, there would be another fierce match where she believed she could suppress Zhou Yuan with her tough strength and physical body unique to the Mystic Dragon Clan!

  Zhou Yuan wore an indifferent expression. Although the golden bell couldn’t destroy the power of the fifth bow, he wasn’t completely disappointed. After all, in terms of grade, the Heavenly Dragon Golden Bell was considered a Saint Genesis art while Jiang Hongying’s was a true greater Saint Genesis art.

  He already did pretty well to endure the power of the fifth bow.

  But…

  Since he had predicted such a result, how would he not have something else planned?

  A cold light flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes and he folded his hands in a seal.

  Bang!

  As the seal formed, a sword cry resounded in the depths of the sound wave torrent that was gradually fading. Then, four rays of rainbow sword lights suddenly erupted from the torrent, shattering the surrounding space. It appeared in front of Jiang Hongying at lightning speed and fiercely struck down.

  The rainbow sword lights came so fast that Jiang Hongying couldn’t react in time. Moreover, she had just completed the fifth bow, which exhausted her Genesis Qi, and could only helplessly watch the four rays of sword light approach.

  The only thing she could do was transform into a gigantic crimson dragon.

  Chi!

  As the four rays of sword light passed, dragon blood sputtered everywhere and left four sword wounds on the crimson dragon’s body. The wounds were so deep that they almost tore the body apart.

  Ah!

  The dragon let out a mournful roar. Dragon blood rained down like a violent storm as its tremendous body plunged from the sky and crushed a towering mountain. The giant dragon writhed in pain as it let out painful roars.

  Everyone gasped out loud in astonishment.

  The two sides were previously equally matched, but who would have thought that Jiang Hongying would be severely wounded in a split second!

  Many people with discerning eyes could tell that the four rays of incomparably sharp sword light belonged to a Saint Genesis art!

  But Zhou Yuan could hide a Saint Genesis art within the Golden Bell Saint Genesis art and made it difficult for others to detect its presence. This demonstrated his deep mastery in both Saint Genesis arts.

  His move was impossible to guard against.

  “A very powerful move.” Meng Chong gulped, his eyes filled with terror. Zhou Yuan’s move not only showed his precise control of the two Saint Genesis arts, but also the fact that he timely performed the art during when Jiang Hongying was completing the fifth bow. At that time, she likely had no time to carefully examine her opponent’s Genesis arts and detect the movements within it.

  Therefore, Zhou Yuan grasped the perfect time to launch his counterattack.

  He clearly had rich experiences on the battlefields.

  "It's no wonder that he could suppress a top heaven pride of the Sacred Race in Guyuan Heaven.” Meng Chong sighed. Zhou Yuan's danger level in his heart was raised to another level. He was thankful that he hadn’t listened to Jiang Hongying and got involved in that muddy water.

  The Divine Tiger Clan experts behind Meng Chong exchanged fearful glances with each other.

  At such a point, how could they not see that Jiang Hongying had lost?

  Zhou Yuan indifferently looked at the crimson dragon on the blood-stained ground. There wasn’t the slightest sympathy in his eyes. After all, Jiang Hongying brought this on herself.

  The silent atmosphere lasted for several breaths.

  Jiang Ba stared blankly at the severely wounded crimson dragon below. It was only after several breaths that his eyes reddened and he fumed, “Such a ruthless means, you really think there is no one in the Mystic Dragon Clan who can do anything to you?!”

  As his stern voice faded, a gush of mighty and terrifying Genesis Qi erupted from him.

  His Genesis Qi foundation was stronger than even Jiang Hongying's!

  Additionally, as Genesis Qi roared out, everyone saw a Law Domain spreading out from his body!

  Jiang Ba’s imposing bearing turned even more terrifying!

  Jiang Ba stepped forward and thrust out his palm in anger. Mighty Genesis Qi roared out and was compressed and concentrated by his Law Domain before aiming towards Zhou Yuan.

  Everyone’s expression changed.

  “Roar!”

  But just as Jiang Ba was about to strike Zhou Yuan, a roar full of mystery and majesty resounded across the world. A chilling feeling surged to Jiang Ba’s heart and he lifted his head to see the sky suddenly dimming.

  A giant beast claw blotted out the sun and sky. Below the claw were vortex-like black holes. They rippled mysteriously and terrifying forces could be felt within them.

  Jiang Ba was terrified because he knew that it was Tuntun's move.

  Boom!

  Jiang Ba didn’t dare to be careless in the face of an Alpha Holy Beast even if the beast hadn’t fully awakened. His palm strike that was originally aimed at Zhou Yuan suddenly changed direction.

  Space constantly crumbled under that palm and countless spatial fragments were swept along with the palm strike.

  But when the two collided, the black holes completely engulfed Jiang Ba’s attack. The giant claw that seemed to contain mysterious power ripped apart everything along the way as it slashed Jiang Ba’s body.

  Bang!

  A loud noise reverberated.

  Jiang Ba blasted down like a cannonball and tore an abyss-like crack into the ground.

  Jiang Ba forcibly steadied himself but he couldn’t conceal his embarrassing state.

  Gazes of shock and horror were cast to the sky, where a giant mysterious beast exuded an ancient majesty. The beast’s eyes resembled blazing suns and he exhibited an imposing bearing as he looked at Jiang Ba.

  Pu.

  The giant beast narrowed his eyes in disdain and puffed out white smoke from his nose. Eventually, he formed a sentence under stunned gazes.

  “You date bully Zhou Yuan, do you think I, Little Ancestor, don’t exist?!”

  Chapter 1249 Show of Might

  The enormous crack on the ground was akin to a deep abyss, causing the eyelids of several onlookers to jump. Reverence flooded their eyes when they looked back at the giant creature in the sky.

  An Alpha sacred beast’s pressure was exceptionally effective against Genesis Beasts like them.

  Even experts of the same cultivation level would be slightly suppressed by the pressure.

  Although Jiang Ba had always maintained a low-profile, everyone knew that he was the Mystic Dragon Clan team’s strongest expert, stronger than even Jiang Hongying. After all, he was a pseudo Law Domain expert.

  However, Jiang Ba had clearly lost out in the earlier exchange with Tuntun. Evidently, lord Ancestral Taotie’s battle power was even greater than his own.

  On the ground, Jiang Ba’s expression was somewhat gloomy, but his eyes were clearly dominated by a look of fear and wariness. Although he had not dared to underestimate Tuntun, he had felt that he should not lose to it. However, the earlier clash taught him that he had still underestimated an Alpha sacred beast’s power.

  Although Tutun had yet to fully awaken, it was still powerful without equal.

  The Mystic Dragon Clan experts finally returned to their senses and hurriedly landed, crowding around behind Jian Ba as they cautiously stared at Tuntun.

  Jin Zhong and the others also swiftly moved forward to stand behind Tuntun and glare at their enemies.

  Zhou Yuan had defeat
ed Jiang Hongying, and now Tuntun had forced Jiang Ba back. These events were undoubtedly a tremendous boost to their morale.

  Below, Zhou Yuan raised his brows at this scene. That was likely Tuntun’s true power earlier. It was indeed rather terrifying and according to his estimates, Tuntun should be at the apex level even among these pseudo Law Domain experts.

  “Not bad.” He gave a thumbs up to Tuntun.

  However, Tuntun merely snorted white mist from its nostrils and proudly raised its head.

  Although Jiang Hongying had repeatedly provoked Zhou Yuan earlier, Tuntun felt that Zhou Yuan could deal with her. Moreover, it would naturally not interfere in a fair fight. However, Jiang Ba had attacked in anger due to Jiang Hongying’s defeat, an act which obviously went against the rules. Did they think that lord Tuntun was a pushover?

  Zhou Yuan’s gaze shifted towards the somewhat miserable figure of Jiang Ba as he grinned, “It seems that the Mystic Dragon Clan do not understand the meaning of rules.”

  Although he was smiling, his eyes were rather cold. If Tuntun had not moved in time earlier, he most likely would have been caught off guard by the attack.

  Jian Ba’s expression turned stormy. “You were too brutal!”

  Zhou Yuan smiled faintly. “Do you guys not spill blood in Wanshou Heaven? What touching mercy and camaraderie.”

  His words were filled with mockery.

  The gazes of the other experts present flashed as they cast odds looks at Jiang Ba. Wanshou Heaven was the most bloody and savage among the heavens. After all, Genesis Beasts loved to fight. In a situation like this, let alone seeing some blood, even being killed was common.

  Although Jiang Hongying had been hacked a few times by Zhou Yuan and sustained substantial injuries, the Mystic Dragon Clan’s bodies were strong and should recover after some time. Hence, Jiang Ba’s reason was honestly rather laughable.

  It would perhaps be more truthful to say Jiang Ba felt that Zhou Yuan’s victory over Jiang Hongying had sullied the Mystic Dragon Clan’s dignity. Hence, he intended to swiftly subdue Zhou Yuan as punishment.

  Jiang Ba likewise sensed the amused gazes looking at him, causing his face to twitch. He knew that he could no longer cleanly settle this matter. He could only maintain his silence as he forced down the anger in his heart.

  He instructed, “Bring Hongying back.”

  Several Mystic Dragon Clan experts flew towards the mountain range. They shivered when they saw the four sinister wounds on the dragon lying in a pool of its own blood, before hurriedly pouring their Genesis Qi into its body.

  Genesis Qi light erupted as Jiang Hongying returned to human form.

  However, her complexion was deathly pale and blood continuously dripped from her body.

  The Mystic Dragon Clan experts supported her as they returned to Jiang Ba.

  The corners of Jiang Ba’s eyes twitched a little at Jiang Hongying’s appearance, anger rising within them.

  He worriedly asked, “How do you feel?”

  Jiang Hongying gritted her teeth and shook her head. Her condition was very bad. The four sword lights had not only slashed her but sharp sword qi was still wreaking havoc in her body, causing her intense pain.

  “Friends of the Mystic Dragon Clan, shouldn’t we discuss what’s next?” Zhou Yuan’s chuckle suddenly rang out.

  Jiang Ba’s expression turned rigid. He of course knew what Zhou Yuan was referring to: the Ancestral Spirit Fruit wager.

  However, were they really going to hand over the seven hardfought Ancestral Spirit Fruit? Or should they run?

  Jiang Ba’s eyes flickered in thought.

  “Forget it, acknowledge the wager.” Jiang Hongying gritted her teeth, her voice somewhat hoarse.

  So many people had observed the wager. Even if they managed to escape, word would spread and it would undoubtedly make them a huge joke. It was just not worth it.

  Jiang Hongying raised her pale face and looked towards Zhou Yuan. Although her expression was still quite icy, there was not much hatred to be seen.

  “Dare to gamble, dare to lose. Take it!”

  With a jerk of her hand, seven streaks of light shot forth.

  Zhou Yuan’s Spirit power moved to catch the seven objects. His brows involuntarily raised when he saw the seven Ancestral Spirit Fruits within, clearly surprised that the other party’s straightforward response. He had already asked Tuntun to get ready to stop Jiang Ba and the others from running.

  At the sight of his surprised expression, Jiang Hongying coldly said, “I, Jiang Hongying, am not a sore loser.”

  Zhou Yuan nodded and said in a deep moved voice, “As expected of a hero among women, the great lady who gifts wealth.”

  The first part was fine, but the latter part made Jiang Hongying’s expression turn steely-green with rage. She gnashed her teeth, fire practically spoutin from her eyes. However, she did not say anything in the end and only turned away so she didn’t have to look at Zhou Yuan.

  Zhou Yuan was surprised again. From Jiang Hongying’s earlier attitude, she should have exploded like a firecracker. He had not expected her to control her emotions. There seemed to be no longer any trace of her earlier haughtiness.

  He seemed to understand something...this woman had been beaten into submission by him?

  As expected, only the hard approach worked on her.

  He shook his head inwardly. His earlier courtesy had only made this woman want to stomp his face in, but after being beaten, she was now so cooperative...

  After Jiang Hongying handed over the fruits, the Mystic Dragon Clan group were clearly quite dejected and did not want to stay here any longer. Hence, they immediately turned around and left.

  The other factions sighed inwardly. No one had expected the usually domineering and aggressive Mystic Dragon Clan to suffer at Zhou Yuan’s hands.

  Since the show was over, they also began to scatter.

  The Divine Tiger Clan’s Meng Chong paused on Zhou Yuan. When Zhou Yuan looked over, Meng Chong cupped his fists together with a smile, displaying his friendliness.

  Zhou Yuan returned the gesture by cupping his own fists together. The Divine Tiger Clan was also a great clan with as many powerful experts as the clouds in the sky. It was naturally better to make more friends. After all, this was Wanshou Heaven and he did not wish to have enemies everywhere.

  After displaying his good will, Meng Chong did not rush forward to deepen their relationship but instead left with his men.

  Tuntun’s body rapidly shrank, landing on Zhou Yuan’s head and giving him a light pat.

  Zhou Yuan understood its intention and quickly retrieved the seven Ancestral Spirit Fruits. After adding in the remaining three they had, he now had a total of ten.

  Zhou Yuan looked towards Jin Zhong and the others and cautioned, “You guys should go ahead and leave first.”

  Jin Zhong and the others nodded. Although they did not know what Zhou Yuan and Tuntun were going to do, they could guess that it was something special. They felt rather envious, but also understood they did not have the fortune to partake.

  Ten Ancestral Spirit Fruits hovered in front of Tuntun. It swung its paw, shattering all the fruits into strange, mysterious light.

  Tuntun’s paw reached into the light, seemingly mixing in something special.

  In the next instant, the lights surged forth, enveloping Zhou Yuan and Tuntun like a membrane.

  Zhou Yuan understood what he had to do. He moved with the membrane, turning into a blur that soon crashed into the Ancestral Spirit Tree’s giant trunk.

  Plop!

  There was no impact. The trunk rippled as man and beast strangely disappeared into it.

  In the outside word, the yet to scatter experts could not help but gasp at this scene.

  Some experts seemed to understand something as envy flooded their eyes. They knew from ancient texts about the Alpha sacred beasts’ bloodlines numerous wonders. Evidently, Tuntun had opened some kind of special area.

  They co
uld only sigh in envy. Zhou Yuan was really lucky!

  After sighing, the rest of the crowd finally scattered. The Dragon Spirit Utopia had just opened and since there was nothing for them here, they could only go somewhere else to try their luck.

  Chapter 1250 The Ancestral Spirit Tree’s Blessing

  When Zhou Yuan’s body crashed into the giant trunk, he felt as if he was dashing through a membrane. Before he could feel the sensation properly, the scenery before his eyes abruptly changed.

  He seemed to have appeared on the branch of an ancient tree. His gaze swept across the area and found it was a giant circular mountain cave. Vines covered the walls like pythons.

  He looked towards the front and saw a jade lake, mist brewing over its surface.

  The lake was wide, its waters emerald-green. A fragrance slowly rose from the surface, filled with astonishing life energy.

  Zhou Yuan breathed in and immediately felt his Spirit shiver in desire. Of course, his Spirit was not the only one to react. His flesh and Genesis Qi also began to boil in excitement.

  Zhou Yuan’s eyes burned with desire as he praised, “What a great place!”

  He had used ten Ancestral Spirit Fruits to open the path here, a price that honestly still pained him somewhat. However, when he saw the jade lake, he understood that he had hit the jackpot this time.

  Let alone ten fruits, even a hundred could not possibly be exchanged for such benefits.

  On his head, Tuntun sensed Zhou Yuan’s emotions and could not help slap his head in a pleased manner. Its will turned into words that entered his brain, There will definitely be good things when following lord Tuntun.

  Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes. However, on account that it had brought him to such a nice place, he would be the better person and not argue with it.

  Tuntun also had no intention of chatting with Zhou Yuan, its eyes also burning as it stared at the jade lake. One must know that not just any Ancestral Spirit Tree could produce a reservoir like this, and it would only form in trees with strong and solid foundations. They were really lucky to find a spirit reservoir in the first tree they entered.
