Boom

When Zhou Yuan opened his eyes, everyone felt the world stir restlessly, which affected even the Genesis Qi in their bodies and caused them to lose control of it. Everyone was so terrified that they urgently suppressed it with all their strength and then stared in horror at Zhou Yuan. 

They of course knew that Zhou Yuan had caused such restlessness, and it made everyone stand in shocked silence. They had never seen anyone affecting others’ Genesis Qi during cultivation.

Hua!

But just as they were suppressing the agitated Genesis Qi in their bodies, they heard rushing water. 

“What is that?” someone exclaimed.

Countless people lifted their heads and saw mighty Genesis Qi gathering. Because the Genesis Qi was too rich, it formed a tide.

The thousand-foot-tall tide of Genesis Qi swept across the world, and this strange phenomenon caused the whole world to tremble.

Roar! 

A resounding dragon roar rang out from the vast Genesis Qi tide. Countless people followed the source of the roar and saw a gigantic dragon silhouette soaring within the tide. An indescribable oppressive aura filled the air, and even people like Guan Qinglong felt intermittent feelings of suppression.

The giant dragon opened its mouth, swallowing the Genesis Qi tide formed from universe Genesis Qi.

In the end, the giant dragon dived down and turned into a tremendous light pillar, completely enveloping Zhou Yuan. Mighty Genesis Qi flooded Zhou Yuan’s body, causing the space behind him to vibrate and three Heavenly Suns to slowly emerge.

The advanced Heavenly Sun stage!

Zhou Yuan finally broke through to the advanced Heavenly Sun stage with the help of the ancient stone tablet’s opportunity!

Hua! 

Gasps and exclamations arose from the spectators, and awe and surprise filled their eyes. 

Moreover, as the three Heavenly Suns emerged, Genesis Qi that made many people’s scalp go numb erupted from Zhou Yuan like a volcano. 

Countless eyes suddenly went wide, and gasps of astonishment rippled throughout the area. 

Even Guan Qinglong and Jiang Jinlin were dumbstruck for a moment, and their mouths fell open. This was because they could feel from the Genesis Qi erupting from Zhou Yuan that his Genesis Qi foundation had reached the level of 4.3 billion!

4.3 billion!

If this was their reaction, what about the others from the three great heavens? They stared blankly at Zhou Yuan, and it was only after a long while that mutters could be heard.

“Is my perception wrong?”

“4.3 billion? How is this possible?”

“Grand elder Zhou Yuan had raised his Genesis Qi foundation by almost 2 billion in this upgrade?!” 

“Hahaha…”

“......”

Many advanced Heavenly Sun experts wore strange expressions because they realized that the foundation they had painstakingly cultivated for years couldn’t be compared to Zhou Yuan’s increase during his advancement. The gap between them made them feel despair.

The gap was too great!

The experts smiled wryly and sighed. Then, they couldn’t help but look at Zhou Yuan with unprecedented awe because when a gap between two people was so great that it made one feel despair, one would lose all feelings of jealousy.

“What?” Qin Lian retracted her astonished gaze and then raised her chin proudly as she looked at Dong Ye, who was standing dumbfounded. 

Dong Ye gulped. She couldn’t hide her envy this time and exclaimed, “Your Tianyuan Region is so blessed.”

A powerful Heavenly Sun expert such as Zhou Yuan was extremely rare even in the entire history of Hunyuan Heaven.

Qin Lian remarked, “Since supreme sovereign Cang Yuan thought highly of Zhou Yuan and accepted him as an official disciple, it’s not surprising that he has such achievements.”

Despite her words, Qin Lian’s face was full of unconcealable joy. Zhou Yuan’s improvement this time would allow him to become the new leader of the Tianyuan Region’s Heavenly Sun stage experts, and the Tianyuan Region would no doubt rise to fame because of him. The Tianyuan Region’s reputation would greatly improve when they returned to Hunyuan Heaven.

In the future, who would dare say the Tianyuan Region is deteriorating?

“That guy.” Zhao Mushen lifted his head and looked at Zhou Yuan with a frown. He had originally thought he would surpass Zhou Yuan with his advancement, but it turned out that Zhou Yuan’s improvement was even more terrifying than his. 

As one’s Genesis Qi foundation neared the 4 billion hurdle, every little increase was incredibly difficult. Therefore, Zhao Mushen knew how much stronger Zhou Yuan’s 4.3 billion foundation was compared to his 3.8 billion foundation.

Even Zhao Mushen, who was also known to be remarkable, couldn’t help sighing because it seemed that the more he tried to catch up to Zhou Yuan, the bigger the gap between them.

He felt that he, having the Taotie Blessing, should have been the only protagonist.

Wu Yao stared at Zhou Yuan. Her lips were pursed slightly, and her expression was somewhat complicated.

She was extremely prideful and had never truly admired anyone in her generation, not even Guan Qinglong. But when she faced Zhou Yuan, a trace of admiration was born because she was aware of the process of how Zhou Yuan rose and how difficult it was. 

Father, although you took his Blessing back then, it seems you have perhaps helped him. For some reason, such a thought flashed across her mind.

Without the setbacks he suffered during his childhood, Zhou Yuan would have sailed smoothly and might not have achieved what he had today, even if he had the disposition of the sacred dragon. Therefore, in a way, King Wu’s action back then had perhaps helped Zhou Yuan.

Compared with Zhao Mushen and Wu Yao, who both had different thoughts, Su Youwei just gazed silently at Zhou Yuan with a slight smile on her beautiful face. Zhou Yuan was always the dazzling sacred dragon in her heart, regardless of whether it was in Great Zhou City when he was dull and weak or now. That never changed for her.

Amidst astonished gazes, the three Heavenly Suns behind Zhou Yuan finally vanished, and the lotus platform beneath him faded before dispersing into powder. Concurrently, cracks appeared on the ancient stone tablet as though it had consumed all its strength, and they rapidly extended to every corner.

Boom!

The ancient stone tablet showed signs of collapsing, but there were neither broken fragments nor dust because it was gradually fading into nothingness. Within seconds, the tremendous mountain-like stone tablet vanished from the world as if it never existed.

Zhou Yuan peered in the direction where the stone tablet disappeared, and he bowed his head. He knew how important this opportunity was to him. The Battle of Guyuan Heaven was nearing its climax, but he wasn’t afraid of three of the four Sacred Race heavens. Only Shengzu Heaven, the most mysterious, made him fearful.

Without the opportunities from the stone tablet, he wouldn’t have the confidence to face Shengzu Heaven. 

But now...he could finally try.

Boom!

While Zhou Yuan was in deep thought, he noticed abnormal movements across the world. He abruptly raised his head and peered solemnly at the void.

Guan Qinglong and the others also looked up with a change of expression.

The Guyuan Heaven world seemed to be shaking violently. The ground was constantly cracking. The mountains, crumbling; the sea, receding...

It was as though the world was changing.

It was under such tremendous changes that Zhou Yuan felt the ancestral qi between heaven and earth increase sharply.

He could feel nine waves of ancestral qi brewing in the world. They were so vast they made one shudder.

Zhou Yuan drew a deep breath.

These are the signs that the nine main ancestral veins in Guyuan Heaven are appearing!
