The five heavens troops s.h.i.+vered as they stared at the abyss-deep crack on the ground, 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 Tuâs 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.
âThat palm strike didnât destroy him?â
He felt a strange power released from Zhou Yuanâs 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 Tuâs 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 gla.s.s 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 wasnât too concerned about his external injuries and just stared at the silver Genesis Qi circulating around Jia Tuâs body, a storm rus.h.i.+ng up in his heart.
He wasn't shocked by the power of his opponentâs Genesis Qi, butâŠ
He faintly felt Jia Tuâs Genesis Qi was somewhat similar to the Genesis Qi he cultivated from the Ancestral Dragon Scripture.
However, although Jia Tuâs Genesis Qi was extremely high grade, it wasnât 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 didnât pay much attention to him at first, couldnât help smiling when he heard his compliment. âYou have good eyes. The Genesis Qi I cultivate comes from the Ancient G.o.d Scripture, which is pa.s.sed down from the G.o.d of our Sacred Race. Only the most talented of a generation in the Sacred Race is allowed to cultivate it.â
The so-called Ancient G.o.d Scripture was something that Jia Tu was incredibly proud of. Zhou Yuanâs question perfectly scratched his itch.
âAncient G.o.d Scripture?â Zhou Yuanâs eyes flashed. Could it be the Ancestral Dragon Scripture?
Zhou Yuan felt that there might be a relations.h.i.+p 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 Tuâs Ancient G.o.d Scripture, which seemed related to the Ancestral Dragon Scripture?
Could Yaoyao have some sort of relations.h.i.+p 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. Yaoyaoâs ident.i.ty 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 Tuâs Genesis Qi foundation was clearly better than Zhou Yuanâs yet he failed to notice the similarities but Zhou Yuan did.
Is it because the Ancestral Dragon Scripture is more orthodox? s peculated Zhou Yuan.
But his speculation had little importance at such a time, because he could feel the tremendous Genesis Qi surging around Jia Tuâs 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 gla.s.s light. After all, such pa.s.sive defenses couldnât last forever and also consumed huge amounts of his Genesis Qi.
Therefore, the longer the battle dragged on, the more dangerous Zhou Yuanâs 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 didnât 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 didnât 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 Yuanâs 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 Yuanâs 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 Shadowâs new form, which Zhou Yuan called the Silver G.o.d 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 Shadowâs Genesis Qi foundation had soared to the level of 3.5 billion, but that still wasnât enough against powerful enemies such as Jia Tu.
After all, oneâs Genesis Qi strength couldnât be added together in such a simple way. Zhou Yuanâs 4.3 billion foundation and Silver Shadowâs 3.5 billion couldnât be equaled to 7.8 billion.
But if the Silver G.o.d 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.
âHuh?â Jia Tu raised his brows in surprise. Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi foundation hadnât changed much, but his bearing was much more imposing.
However, Jia Tuâs 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, letâs see how much fun you can bring me.â
