Chapter 1147

At the moment Jiang Jinlin unleashed her Sacred Seal Art, terrifying Genesis Qi shockwaves raged across the void on the battlefield where Zhou Yuan and Ji Mo were fighting, with massive ripples spreading outwards like invisible tides.

A figure descended from the sky in disarray, piercing directly through a mountain and carving a colossal crater into the ground.

Ji Mo climbed out of the giant pit, his clothes tattered and his body streaked with blood. He was in utter disarray, his face a mixture of shock and fury. He stared intently at Zhou Yuan's figure in the air, his cheeks puffing out like a toad.

"How is this possible... Damn it, how can this guy be so strong? He's completely suppressing me in a head-on clash!"

Ji Mo was filled with extreme shock and rage. He had initially believed that Zhou Yuan had only managed to severely injure him by relying on his Seven-Colored Hair skill. Therefore, in this current exchange, he had chosen a steady approach, intending to overwhelm Zhou Yuan with his own Genesis Qi foundation. However, after their recent battle, even after activating his secret technique, which boosted his Genesis Qi foundation to 3.4 billion, he still couldn't do anything to Zhou Yuan. On the contrary, Zhou Yuan repeatedly gained the upper hand.

"He also only has a Genesis Qi foundation of 3.4 billion..."

Ji Mo's eyes flickered with uncertainty as he stared at the platinum-gold Genesis Qi rising from Zhou Yuan's body. That Genesis Qi was mysterious and powerful; in terms of quality, it was definitely top-tier, even among eighth-grade Genesis Qi.

Another point was Zhou Yuan's extremely powerful physical body. Its strength was enough to move mountains and seas, and sometimes his heavy punches made Ji Mo extremely uncomfortable.

Furthermore, there were the Spirit power attacks that constantly ambushed him during the battle. These Spirit powers condensed into Spirit Flames, eroding him pervasively, forcing Ji Mo to divert his attention to deal with them.

It was this combination of tactics that directly overwhelmed Ji Mo, repeatedly putting him in perilous situations.

"This bastard is truly a freak!"

Ji Mo was furious. Zhou Yuan, in the intermediate Heavenly Sun Stage, could boost his Genesis Qi to 3.4 billion. Such a monstrous talent was unheard of, not just in their Sacred Spirit Heaven, but even in Sacred King Heaven, unless it was one of the Sacred Chosen from Sacred Ancestor Heaven. And not only was his Genesis Qi so powerful, but this bastard's physical body and Spirit were also incredibly strong, making him virtually flawless. Such a profound foundation even stirred a hint of fear deep within Ji Mo.

If this guy truly advanced to the late Heavenly Sun Stage, he might genuinely be qualified to contend with the Sacred Chosen from Sacred Ancestor Heaven.

Just as Ji Mo's thoughts were swirling, he suddenly sensed a disturbance in the distant sky. He shifted his gaze, and an expression of wild joy appeared in his eyes.

He had just witnessed Mi Shan diverting Jiang Jinlin's sealing art towards Guan Qinglong.

The situation instantly changed dramatically.

In the sky, Zhou Yuan, who had been intending to pursue Ji Mo, also noticed this change, his brows slightly furrowed as he looked in that direction.

He also saw Guan Qinglong getting hit, and was immediately somewhat speechless, muttering to himself, "This Jiang Jinlin is truly a liability."

"Haha, Zhou Yuan, don't get too smug! Once Guan Qinglong dies, you are all doomed today!" At this moment, Ji Mo burst into laughter, his eyes fixed on Zhou Yuan with a sinister gaze. With the situation now dramatically changed, as long as he could keep Zhou Yuan here until Mi Shan and Mi Shi were free, Zhou Yuan would surely die!

Zhou Yuan looked at Ji Mo with cold eyes and said, "It's fine. I'll just finish you off quickly."

Ji Mo laughed furiously. "Boasting!"

In his opinion, while he couldn't directly contend with Zhou Yuan, it wouldn't be difficult to stall for time.

Zhou Yuan, however, paid him no further mind. He gripped the Heavenly Yuan Brush tightly, and in the next instant, its tip trembled as its bristles swept across, revealing mysterious traces in the void.

Boom!

Faintly, thunder rumbled between heaven and earth.

Black and white lightning condensed, forming a black and white lightning dragon that coiled around the Heavenly Yuan Brush. The terrifying fluctuations it emitted caused heaven and earth to tremble.

This black and white lightning dragon was, of course, the Yin-Yang Lightning Rune Gaze!

However, Zhou Yuan's current execution of this art was undoubtedly far more refined than before. The black and white lightning dragon writhed with a sense of spirituality.

The lightning dragon coiled around the tip of the Heavenly Yuan Brush, then slowly descended, imprinting itself onto the tip like a tattoo.

Immediately, brilliant black and white lightning crackled at the brush tip.

The void itself was torn apart.

Below, Ji Mo also sensed Zhou Yuan brewing a killer move. His eyes narrowed instantly, and he went on full alert.

Zhou Yuan unleashed the Yin-Yang Lightning Rune Gaze with all his might, then took a deep breath.

"Source Breaking!"

The snow-white bristles of the brush tip instantly turned a profound black.

"Ten Thousand Whales!"

Ancient whale cries echoed as ancient whale phantoms circled and then drilled into the brush tip.

The magma-like crimson patterns on Zhou Yuan's body became even more vibrant, and his entire being emitted intense heat, warping the very void as it seemed to evaporate.

The Heavenly Yuan Brush was also frantically absorbing the Genesis Qi within Zhou Yuan's body.

This caused the Heavenly Yuan Brush to vibrate continuously, and the terrifying fluctuations it emitted made Ji Mo's expression below slightly change.

When the Heavenly Yuan Brush's power reached its peak, Zhou Yuan's eyes suddenly sharpened. In the next instant, lightning seemed to flash explosively in the void.

His figure, like a streak of black and white lightning, tore through the air, carrying terrifying energy directly towards Ji Mo.

The ground below was ripped open into bottomless gashes, even from a considerable distance.

"You want to kill me? Don't dream about it!"

Ji Mo's scalp tingled from the shock of Zhou Yuan's full-power strike, but he wasn't overly afraid. With a fierce roar, he flicked his sleeve, and a stream of light shot out, transforming into a shield above him.

The shield appeared cast from stone, bearing mottled marks and faint ancient runes. The light emanating from the stone shield faintly resembled a pale giant boulder, giving off an indestructible and incredibly sturdy impression.

This item was precisely the Sacred Stone Shield given by Mi Shi, possessing extremely formidable defensive power.

Zhou Yuan gazed at the stone shield, his eyes narrowing slightly. Such defensive power, he feared, might be impenetrable even to his full-power strike.

Ji Mo, beneath the stone shield, seemed to be aware of this as well, and his eyes were filled with provocation as he looked at Zhou Yuan.

Seeing this, a cold smile appeared on Zhou Yuan's lips. He then flicked his sleeve.

A silver light shot out, landing directly on the stone shield.

It was a silver orb of light, none other than Silver Shadow!

Upon contact with the stone shield, Silver Shadow rapidly melted, and the silver liquid quickly covered the shield, eventually transforming the stone shield into a silver one...

It was at this moment that Ji Mo discovered, to his horror, that he had temporarily lost control of the stone shield.

The silver liquid seemed to form a prison, isolating the stone shield from the outside.

And the silver shield, now without control, fell directly from the sky and crashed to the ground.

It was at this very instant that Zhou Yuan's figure appeared above Ji Mo, the Heavenly Yuan Brush in his hand trembling violently, as if suppressing an extremely terrifying power.

A look of absolute horror appeared on Ji Mo's face. He never expected Zhou Yuan to be able to counter the Sacred Stone Shield with such an unusual method; it was his last means of defense.

The horrified Ji Mo retreated frantically.

However, it was too late...

He could only see a dark pen tip, wreathed in black and white lightning, flash across his vision...

Rip.

A faint scent of burning rose from the void.

A streak of light pierced through Ji Mo's body and swept past.

On the ground behind Ji Mo, a terrifyingly deep chasm a thousand zhang long was ripped open, chillingly dark.

The mountains along its path were flattened.

Zhou Yuan's figure appeared behind Ji Mo, the Heavenly Yuan Brush angled towards the ground, blood dripping from its tip...

Ji Mo's body stiffened, his face filled with terror. He lowered his head with difficulty, a bloody hole visible in his chest, from which a terrifying power raged, severing all life force within him.

"How... could this be..."

He mumbled, his pupils rapidly dilating.

"How... could I possibly lose..."

Behind him, Zhou Yuan slowly put away the Heavenly Yuan Brush in his hand and calmly stated, "Zhou Yuan of the Tianyuan Region, Hunyuan Heaven, has slain Ji Mo of the Fuhai Hall, Sacred Spirit Heaven, here today."

Ji Mo's body collapsed, kicking up clouds of dust.

It was at this very moment that eyes filled with utter horror from across the battlefield turned towards this spot...

Mi Shi, who had originally been pursuing Guan Qinglong and the others, suddenly halted, his expression grim as he looked in this direction.

No one had expected Ji Mo to be slain...
