Under the countless gazes under the starry sky, Zhou Yuan’s figure arrived before the ancient stone statue in the starry sky’s depths.

Wang Xi was sitting cross-legged in midair. Terrifying murderous intent was rippling around him like an ocean, and his eyes had already turned a scarlet red color. Many people felt their scalps go numb, seeing the fiendish aura.

Wang Xi shot a fierce look at Zhou Yuan, and a cold, sinister voice rang out. “The path here is blocked. Get lost!”

There wasn’t a ripple of emotion on Zhou Yuan’s face when he swept a glance over Wang Xi. “Get out of the way. You aren’t strong enough to compete for this stone statue.”

If Zhou Yuan had met Wang Xi before he opened up all nine Divine Dwellings, he would have had to use everything he had to fight.

Zhou Yuan’s current Genesis Qi foundation was so powerful that even he couldn’t believe it himself!

Wang Xi, whom he was fearful of half an hour ago, was no longer a threat.

The Chaos Divine Dwellings finally revealed their true terrifying power after all nine Divine Dwellings were connected.

Wang Xi’s expression turned chilly, and his eyes scanned Zhou Yuan like a knife. He had never regarded Zhou Yuan as an opponent, yet Zhou Yuan dared provoke him.

Wang Xi could feel a much stronger fluctuation of Genesis Qi than before from Zhou Yuan. He knew that Zhou Yuan must have connected the ninth Divine Dwelling.

But Wang Xi didn’t believe that Zhou Yuan could soar to the sky with nine Divine Dwellings!

Boom!

Wang Xi didn’t answer a word. With a slight shake of his body, blood-red Genesis Qi swept out and illuminated the void with 66 million Genesis Qi stars.

After revealing his Genesis Qi foundation, he didn’t stop there. He threw his head back and roared. There seemed to be a blood-red sea gushing from his body, and rising within the sea of blood were countless blood-red Genesis Qi stars.

In the end, the number of Genesis Qi stars soared to the level of 85 million!

Evidently, he had activated a Xuehai Region secret art!

His Genesis Qi was indeed extraordinarily strong, and it was much superior to that of Xuan Kun, Xu Ming and other heaven prides on the Divine Dwelling List. It even neared the level of Zhao Mushen’s, Wu Yao’s and Su Youwei’s qis.

“Sky Flooding Art!”

Wang Xi’s voice reverberated throughout the world like thunder as mighty Genesis Qi swept out and transformed into a surging sea of blood filled with a bloody stench, as though his qi was formed from real blood.

Hua!

The sea of blood whizzed forth as if to drown the world, and its tremendous shadow sped towards Zhou Yuan. But Zhou Yuan stood still in the void like a boulder and didn’t move an inch.

Wang Xi felt a vortex of anger inside him, seeing Zhou Yuan standing there motionless. He snorted and continued to control the sea of blood to crash down and completely envelop Zhou Yuan.

Hua!

When the blood sea completely enveloped Zhou Yuan, a roar of astonishment burst from the crowd. No one thought Zhou Yuan would be so arrogant as to face a powerful enemy like Wang Xi and even let his blood sea envelop him.

It should be said that the blood sea was terrifyingly corrosive and could eat up an expert of the same level once they were trapped within.

While everyone was dumbstruck, suddenly, a faint dragon roar emerged from the blood sea’s depths.

The blood sea rippled violently before millions of azure-golden Genesis Qi light beams burst out and tore it apart in just a few breaths.

Countless eyes widened as everyone stared at where the blood sea had dissipated. Mighty azure-golden Genesis Qi filled the void, and countless Genesis Qi stars twinkled. The amount was at least 93 million!

Under the starry sky, there was utter silence.

All eyes were blankly fixed on the many Genesis Qi stars that appeared behind Zhou Yuan. It was 93 million!

“How is that possible?!”

Yuan Kun cried out in disbelief, and even the icily arrogant Jiu Gong opened her mouth soundlessly.

There were 93 million Genesis Qi stars!

Adding to this, Zhou Yuan had achieved this without activating any secret technique, which meant that this was his Genesis Qi foundation!

It should be said that even Su Youwei, who possessed ten Divine Dwellings, only had a foundation of 83 million Genesis Qi stars!

Zhou Yuan’s foundation was 10 million more than hers?!

What grade were that guy’s Divine Dwellings?!

On the Wushen Region’s side, Liu Qingshu’s face was livid as she stared at the Genesis Qi stars behind Zhou Yuan. After a while, she swallowed a mouth of saliva and mumbled, “How is that possible?”

Although Zhou Yuan's muddled-colored Divine Dwelling halos were clearly variant Divine Dwellings, no one expected his Genesis Qi foundation to soar to this level after he connected all nine Divine Dwellings.

Before this, Zhou Yuan had only possessed 39 million Genesis Qi stars!

How much was it now? 93 million! It had increased by nearly 55 million!

Liu Qingshu felt a headache coming on. She had never heard of anyone’s Genesis Qi soaring by this much after connecting the ninth Divine Dwelling. Even Su Youwei’s ten Divine Dwellings weren’t as terrifying as his!

Liu Qingshu gritted her teeth and said stiffly, “So what if he has a foundation of 93 million. There is still the limit of the Divine Dwelling stage.”

Su Youwei Genesis Qi foundation was superior to Zhao Mushen’s, but as they reached the 90 million level, the gap between them also narrowed. This meant that everything depended on what means and techniques one possessed.

Therefore, Liu Qingshu believed that Zhao Mushen could defeat Wu Yao and Su Youwei even if they joined forces. He would naturally also be able to suppress Zhou Yuan!

Amidst countless shocked gazes, Zhou Yuan was visibly taken aback. Even he didn’t expect his Genesis Qi foundation to soar to such a level.

He thought that his foundation would be perfect if it reached the level of 80 million, but it seemed that even he had underestimated his Chaos Divine Dwellings.

He hadn’t noticed much strangeness before opening up the ninth Divine Dwelling, so who would have thought the ninth Divine Dwelling would cause such earth-shaking changes?

Zhou Yuan calmly looked at Wang Xi, whose expression was constantly changing. Zhou Yuan didn’t utter a word, and he let the terrifying oppressive pressure slowly spread out.

Wang Xi drew a deep breath, his gaze somewhat complicated. He had never paid much attention to Zhou Yuan before and never expected the famous dark horse in Hunyuan Heaven to reach such a terrifying level in a short period of two years.

“A Genesis Qi foundation of 93 million. Zhou Yuan, you're really strong. Maybe you're the only one who has a chance to beat Zhao Mushen. Everybody has underestimated you.”

The blood sea shrouding Wang Xi’s body subsided slowly, then completely retracted into his body. He looked a little glum. It was obvious that Zhou Yuan’s strength was a huge blow to him.

“Go ahead. I hope you can make this nine regions tournament even more exciting.” Wang Xi stepped aside. Facing Zhou Yuan, who possessed a foundation of 93 million Genesis Qi stars, even he had to choose to move out of the way.

Under the starry sky, everybody’s expression turned complicated.

Who would have thought that Zhou Yuan’s strength could make a fierce and powerful person like Wang Xi willingly move aside and give up? From this fact alone it was clear how much pressure the foundation of 93 million Genesis Qi stars gave Wang Xi.

Everyone sighed. From then on, a leader was going to again rise up the Divine Dwelling List.

They just didn’t know what would happen when the new and old leaders collided.

Amidst those countless curious gazes, Zhou Yuan nodded to Wang Xi and immediately charged through the Genesis Qi barrier.

The Genesis Qi barrier didn’t obstruct Zhou Yuan in the slightest. He passed through in just a few breaths.

Above the stone statue whose summit was as wide as a plain.

The illusory monster that was breathing out black fog behind Zhao Mushen slowly came to a halt. Zhao Mushen had to halt the preparations for swallowing Wu Yao’s Blessing and lift his head to look at the slender figure descending from the sky.

He sighed, “I finally understand why even the supreme sovereign would pay attention to you.”

He didn't expect the little mouse that he had released before to become so threatening that it would make even him feel danger.

He, who had never regretted anything, finally felt a hint of regret. If he had known this would happen, he would have killed him that day.

Zhou Yuan glanced over at Wu Yao and Su Youwei, who were trapped in the Sacred Lotus Seal, before he fixed a piercing gaze at Zhao Mushen. “Don’t covet things that don’t belong to you.”

Zhao Mushen studied Zhou Yuan with a strange expression, then said suddenly, “I didn’t realize before that you also possess a Blessing.”

He sounded regretful. If he had realized that sooner, he would have gotten rid of Zhou Yuan that day and there wouldn’t be any more trouble.

But it didn’t matter.

He smiled at Zhou Yuan. “You, are you here to deliver your Blessing to me?”
