Boom!

The moment that Zhao Mushen acted, universe Genesis Qi rolled in like dark storm clouds and spread towards Zhou Yuan’s direction.

The void trembled incessantly.

Zhao Mushen whirled his hand, gathering endless Genesis Qi in his palm as a nine-colored light shuttle took shape. The light shuttle quivered with endless sharp qi, which cut tiny traces into the surrounding air.

The nine-color light shuttle wasn’t unfamiliar to Zhou Yuan. Zhao Mushen had used it the first time Zhou Yuan had met him in a mini domain. But this nine-color light shuttle was clearly much stronger than the previous one.

“Nine Spirit Soul Breaker Shuttle!”

Zhao Mushen flicked his finger and sent the nine-colored silhouette shooting out. It pierced the void and zoomed towards Zhou Yuan!

Where the light shuttle passed, a shrill sonic boom rang out.

Zhou Yuan’s face didn’t ripple as he watched the nine-colored light rays rapidly expand before him. Zhao Mushen is quite interesting. He is starting the battle with this Genesis art. Does he want to remind me of how embarrassing I looked in our previous encounter?

In the void behind Zhou Yuan, astonishing Genesis Qi swallowed the 99.99 million Genesis Qi stars flickering brightly.

Zhou Yuan didn’t bring out any Genesis technique to counter the attack, and he instead let the nine-colored silhouette shoot closer to him. Then, he stretched his hand out and wrapped his arm with powerful Genesis Qi, forming a layer of azure-golden armor-like scales.

Bang!

He directly grabbed the nine-colored light shuttle with one hand.

Chi!

The nine-colored light shuttle madly released a powerful force in Zhou Yuan’s hand, but his fist was motionless like a boulder. The light shuttle looked like a fish caught in an eagle’s claw. No matter how it struggled, it couldn’t budge.

Expressionless, Zhou Yuan squeezed his hand.

Bang!

The nine-color light shuttle exploded and filled the sky with specks of light.

Zhou Yuan looked at Zhao Mushen indifferently and said, “If you wanted to use this to irritate me, you have instead made me look down on you, King of Hunyuan Heaven’s Divine Dwelling stage.”

As Zhou Yuan lifted his palm into the air, a sword orb slowly rose. Because Zhou Yuan had opened up all nine Divine Dwellings, the sword orb had also undergone considerable changes. It had turned crystal clear, like a diamond, and its new quality made the orb seem indestructible.

This transformation was a sign that he had mastered the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb.

“Sword Orb, differentiate.”

With a slight touch, the sword orb trembled and transformed into hundred of sword orbs. Then, as they shot out, wrapped in sword light, they took the form of hundreds of light swords.

Their sharp sword qi raged all over the world.

Buzz!

Hundreds of sword lights flashed out simultaneously, every one possessing tremendous power superior to the original sword orb!

The hundred beams of sword light streaked across the sky in a terrifying formation. Zhao Mushen stilled for a moment. Zhou Yuan now had the support of a powerful Genesis Qi foundation, and Zhou Yuan’s every attack was terrifying.

Zhao Mushen shook his hand, and a golden halberd appeared. He let out a long roar and met the attack head-on.

Clang!

The golden halberd erupted with dazzling rays of light and repeatedly clashed with the many sword lights, causing metallic clangs to ring throughout the world.

The two fought hundreds of rounds in just dozens of seconds.

Zhou Yuan's sword light offensive was fierce, but Zhao Mushen’s golden halberd was indestructible. No matter how the hundred sword lights struck, they couldn’t break the golden halberd’s defense.

Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but marvel at Zhao Mushen’s strength. Zhou Yuan should have had the upper hand based on the strength of his Genesis Qi foundation, but Zhao Mushen didn’t seem disadvantaged.

“Sword Orb, assemble!”

Zhou Yuan formed a seal with one hand and brought the hundred sword orbs gathering together again to form a light sword one thousand feet long in the void above him. The sword constantly buzzed and vibrated as it released a terrifyingly sharp aura.

This was the first time that Zhou Yuan had truly displayed the sword orb’s great power since he began cultivating the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb.

Boom!

The thousand-foot-long sword light slashed down, tore apart the void, and left a thousand-foot-long sword mark on the plain below.

The slash’s power made even Zhao Mushen’s expression change slightly. The fierceness of Zhou Yuan’s sword light, coupled with his foundation of 99 million Genesis Qi, made Zhao Mushen not dare to underestimate him.

Zhao Mushen formed a seal with both hands at lightning speed.

“Ancestral Spirit Hand!”

The golden light formation in the void behind Zhao Mushen suddenly flashed. Then, an ancient mottled hand stretched out and balled into a fist, like a fist of the gods. Wrapped in a terrifying storm of Genesis Qi, it collided with the sword light slashing down with devastating power.

Rumble!

The impact’s violent shock waves were like tremendous thousand-foot waves. They swept across the void and battered the film of Genesis Qi outside the stone statue, causing it to ripple frantically.

A disturbance of this scale made countless people’s scalps go numb.

The fierceness of the battle between Zhou Yuan and Zhao Mushen had exceeded the chaotic battle between the three kings before.

Boom!

The storm-like Genesis Qi shock waves shrouded Zhao Mushen. His face remained indifferent as he constantly made slashing motions with the golden halberd in his hand to forcibly destroy the many terrifying waves.

However, at this moment, Zhao Mushen’s pupils suddenly shrank because he saw a shadow flash across the void in front of him. A ghost-like figure was charging towards him.

It was Zhou Yuan!

Zhao Mushen had experienced Zhou Yuan’s shadow-like body technique during their first meeting, but because Zhou Yuan’s strength had rocketed, the body technique was much faster and more bizarre than before.

Zhou Yuan transformed into a shadow, and the sword orb in his hand turned into a three-foot azure sword wrapped in mighty sword qi.

Zhao Mushen’s eyes were piercing cold. He formed a seal with one hand, and a giant mottled hand stretched out again from the golden formation in the void behind him. The giant hand covered Zhao Mushen like an indestructible fortress.

At the same time, Zhao Mushen swiftly changed his seal, preparing an even stronger counterattack.

The sword orb in Zhou Yuan’s hand shot out and repeatedly bombarded the ancient mottled hand. But this only caused fierce vibrations and failed to blast the giant hand away. Zhao Mushen had clearly strengthened his defenses.

At the same time, Zhou Yuan could sense that powerful Genesis Qi was accumulating in the giant hand. His eyes flashed, and he sped out and appeared just before the giant mottled fist.

“Let’s see how hard your turtle shell is!”

With a loud roar, the more than 90 million Genesis Qi stars in the void erupted with dazzling rays of light, and a silvery liquid seeped out from his body. In just a few breaths, the liquid transformed into majestic silver battle armor.

Zhou Yuan’s imposing aura continued to soar.

Boom!

He clenched his hand and slammed a punch at the ancient fist.

His punch didn’t contain any showy movements, but the tremendous force caused the void to shatter into countless fragments.

Dong!

Along with the deep rumble, a ripple spread out from the ancient giant fist. The void seemed to freeze for a moment. Then, the giant fist exploded into pieces.

Zhao Mushen's body was directly exposed. He, who had always remained calm and composed, revealed a look of horror. He didn’t expect Zhou Yuan to successfully break through his defense.

But he didn’t react slowly and drew back rapidly like a bolt of lightning.

Chi!

But when he moved, a silver-armored figure appeared behind him like a ghost.

“For that shuttle some time ago…I will return a fist to you!” Zhou Yuan’s voice rang out. Then, the iron fist covered in silver armor struck down like a bolt of silver lightning. It tore the void apart.

Zhao Mushen's face darkened. In the blink of an eye, three dazzling Divine Dwelling halos swiftly emerged behind him.

Bang!

The silver iron fist struck, and the three Divine Dwelling halos shattered in an instant.

Rumble!

Zhou Yuan's fist slammed into Zhao Mushen’s back, and a boom resounded throughout the void. Zhao Mushen’s figure blasted down like a cannonball, crashing into the plain. Smoke and dust filled the area and even buried his body.

There was utter silence under the starry sky.

Everyone stared at the scene in shocked disbelief. In their memory, this was the first time that Zhao Mushen was defeated so tragically ever since he had become the no. 1 person of Hunyuan Heaven’s Divine Dwelling stage.

Countless eyes immediately shifted to the slender silver-armored figure standing in the void. Everyone gulped, their eyes containing boundless awe.

If Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi foundation was said to have only been visually impressive before, then the real fighting power Zhou Yuan had just displayed made everyone understand one thing: he truly possessed the strength to challenge Zhao Mushen’s position.
