“Sacred Dragon Law Domain!”

As Zhou Yuan’s calm voice rang out, a Law Domain abruptly unfurled from him, giving off a mysterious pressure.

When Pang Yang saw the approaching Law Domain, his expression changed drastically as he involuntarily cried out, “You’ve established a Law Domain!?”

Zhou Yuan had merely been at the Divine Dwelling stage when he was chased out of Cangxuan Heaven, an existence akin to an ant in Pang Yang’s eyes. If not for patriarch Cang Xuan’s remnant power, it would have been impossible for such an ant to do any damage to the Sacred Palace. Hence, he had never taken much notice of Zhou Yuan, who had been a rising star in Cangxuan Heaven back then.

However, news of Zhou Yuan was occasionally transmitted back to Cangxuan Heaven over the years, which the Sacred Palace was naturally able to get their hands on. The news stirred quite a commotion in the Sacred Palace. After all, no one would expect a dog, which had been forced to flee from its home, to do so well in the all-heavens.

The commotion was especially huge when the results of the battle for Guyuan Heaven was known. Several of the Sacred Palace higher ups had no choice but to begin treating Zhou Yuan as a real threat.

In fact, one of Pang Yang’s missions in the Cangmang Continent was to capture Zhou Qing and Qin Yu in hopes of potentially using them as leverage against Zhou Yuan in the future.

However, Pang Yang would never have imagined that Zhou Yuan would return so quickly, and even have established a Law Domain!

This made Pang Yang’s heart churn like a stormy sea, while also eliciting deep envy. One must know that he had paid a great price in order to establish a Law Domain, and yet, a mere ant that could not even draw his notice back then was now on the same level as him?!

“You little bastard, you weren’t even born when I made a name for myself in Cangxuan Heaven. Do you really believe you can stop me?!” Pang Yang sneered in anger. Although Zhou Yuan had established a Law Domain, he could not possibly have had it for long. No matter how great his talent, he was still a new Law Domain expert and should not be a big difference between them. Zhou Yuan was delusional if he thought he could easily defeat Pang Yang.

Hence, Pang Yang had no intentions of retreating. He would never allow himself to back down from someone who he had once viewed as an ant.

“Golden Star Law Domain!”

Pang Long rose into the air with a hwol. A golden Law Domain rapidly expanded, a golden star shining brighter than the sun within it.

“Zhou Yuan, although I don’t know how you managed to establish a Law Domain, you’re still too green to face me!” Endless confidence filled him as his Law Domain spread, causing him to throw his head back and laugh.

On the city walls, Zhou Qing and the others were naturally able to sense the terrifying power surging within the Law Domain. A strand of such power was enough to obliterate them from this reality.

This was a Law Domain expert!

Zhou Yuan was slightly taken aback when he saw that Pang Yang intended to clash directly with him. Soon after, he chuckled. “It seems that Cangxuan Heaven has been more closed off than I expected.”

From Pang Yang’s actions, he clearly did not know the result of the Stone Dragon Secret Domain. After all, even the Sacred Race’s strongest Law Domain expert had been slain by Zhou Yuan in that battle. Pang Yang was merely a first stage Law Domain expert that had received external help to establish his Law Domain. Someone with such strength did not even have the qualifications to be treated seriously by Zhou Yuan, and yet he had chosen a head-on clash? This was going to be worse than smashing an egg into a rock.

Pang Yang icily demanded, “What do you mean?!”

Zhou Yuan shook his head, not bothering to explain. There was only indifference in his eyes as he reached out and swiped downwards.

Rumble!

The endless sky shattered as an enormous purple-gold dragon claw emerged and swatted at Pang Yang’s Law Domain.

Pang Yang’s expression changed drastically. Only at this moment did an intense feeling of imminent doom flood his heart, causing even his Spirit to tremble violently.

Boom!

Before he could react, however, the purple-gold dragon claw slammed into the golden Law Domain. The Law Domain only managed to endure for a split second before being torn apart like paper.

The dragon claw reached deep into the Law Domain and grabbed the resplendently shining golden star. It was Pang Yang’s Law Domain core.

Zhou Yuan’s indifferent voice sounded, “Even the Sacred Race’s strongest Law Domain expert was slain by me. How brave are you to have dared to open your Law Domain in front of me?”

Pang Yang was horrified as endless fear rose in his eyes. He had finally realized how terrifying Zhou Yuan’s power was at the moment of contact.

“You...you are a third stage Law Domain expert?! How can this be?!” shrieked Pang Yang. Even a third stage Law Domain expert should not be able to tear apart his Law Domain so easily, right?

How had Zhou Yuan become such a monster in a mere dozen years?!

As Pang Yang felt the dreadful might of the dragon claw closing around the golden star, his complexion turned deathly pale. “Stop! I surrender!”

The golden star was his Law Domain core. If it was shattered, the Law Domain he had paid dearly to establish would be broken!

The consequences were too dire for him to bear!

Regret finally rose in Pang Yang. If he knew, he would never have accepted this mission. Who could have expected a tiny Great Zhou Empire to have such a terrifying guardian.

However, Zhou Yuan remained expressionless in the face of Pang Yang’s begging as an eerily chilling light swirled in his eyes. How could he let someone who wanted to massacre Great Zhou City off so easily?

Hence, the purple-gold dragon claw abruptly clenched.

Boom!

The star shattered, causing countless golden rays to shoot in all directions as if a sun had exploded.

The golden Law Domain swiftly began to fracture.

In a dozen breaths, the golden Law Domain completely vanished.

Urgh!

Pang Yang vomited a mouthful of blood, his Genesis Qi undulations rapidly weakening. His face turned even paler than before as an aura of death began to envelope his body.

His eyes were filled with terror as he shrieked, “I have to escape!”

He had already turned around before his cry faded and began igniting his essence blood in an attempt to flee.

Before he could move, however, a giant purple-gold dragon indifferently looked down upon him from above. In the next instant, purple-gold dragon breath blasted Pang Yang’s body.

Space fractured like glass as Pang Yang’s body was incinerated from existence, leaving neither ashes nor bones.

In the sky, the Sacred Demon Army trembled as they watched this ghastly scene. Personally witnessing a Law Domain expert’s death created endless fear in individuals like them, who had become savage and cruel after the Divine Blood Altar’s baptism.

A split second later, the Sacred Demon Army scattered and fled.

On the city walls, everyone, including Sheng Taiyuan, had fallen into a daze. Barely any time had passed since Zhou Yuan appeared, but in that brief period of time, a genuine Law Domain expert had been killed right in front of them...

That was a Law Domain expert!

Even in the current Cangxuan Heaven, a Law Domain expert could lord over a territory and was viewed as the most top-tier battle power by any faction.

In spite of this, Pang Yang had been easily wiped from existence without being able to put up any resistance...

Could mortals really possess such power?

Stupefied gaze after gaze stared at Zhou Yuan as he slowly retracted his hand. Everyone had sensed that he was powerful, but they did not know how powerful...until a Law Domain expert died in front of them.

The silence lasted for a moment before ultimately being broken by countless cheers.

“His highness is invincible!”

Countless Great Zhou citizens had been watching from inside the city. When they saw Zhou Yuan appear earlier, they had taken him as reinforcements and were still unaware of his identity.

They had fallen into shock when Pang Yang was killed.

But they quickly heard the cheers from the city walls.

“What? His highness?!”

“Could the reinforcements be our prince Zhou Yuan?!”

“His highness has returned?!”

“We’re saved!”

“His highness is invincible!”

Countless voices churned in the city as the Great Zhou citizens began to shake and cheer with emotion, having just survived a crisis.

Hope had suddenly arrived and scattered away their despair. It was impossible for any of them to hold back their emotions.

Amidst the thunderous cheers, Shen Taiyuan gradually returned to his senses and stared at the figure before him with a complicated expression.

Who could have imagined that the young man who was forced to leave Cangxuan Heaven years ago would possess the power to change Cangxuan Heaven’s future when he returned.

A feeling of pride and happiness slowly rose within Shen Taiyuan.

The young man who was destined to shake the entire Cangxuan Heaven was from Saint Genesis Peak...
