Chapter 1150: Two Sword Lights

When the silver armor covered his body, Zhou Yuan's eyes glowed with seven-colored light. Within his Divine Dwelling, the gourd-shaped shadow, suspended between reality and illusion, also began to tremble slightly.

An extremely terrifying fluctuation emanated from Zhou Yuan's body, causing the surrounding void to fracture continuously. An indescribably sharp and formidable aura emerged, as if capable of cleaving the heavens and splitting the earth.

Under this aura, the entire vast battlefield trembled slightly.

Mi Shi, Zhou Yuan's opponent, was the first to sense this terrifying fluctuation. His expression gradually turned solemn as he slowly said, "I heard from Ji Mo before that you possess an incredibly powerful Saint Genesis Art. Have you finally decided to unleash it?"

Among Zhou Yuan's trump cards, the one that made Mi Shi most wary was undoubtedly this Saint Genesis Art, which had forced even Ji Mo's Saint Pupil into sealing itself.

On the battlefield, many gazes also converged.

They could also sense that Zhou Yuan was clearly getting serious.

They wondered if the incredibly powerful Saint Genesis Art he was unleashing could turn the tide of a situation that was gradually tilting against him.

Behind them, Ai Qing, who was helping Guan Qinglong break the seal, saw this scene. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she said, "Captain Zhou Yuan's move is not wise. His main task right now is simply to stall Mi Shi. There's no need for such a direct confrontation. What if..."

Although Zhou Yuan had been slightly at a disadvantage in his previous skirmishes with Mi Shi, he had still managed to hold him off. In Ai Qing's opinion, Zhou Yuan only needed to continue stalling; there was no need for a risky gamble. If he failed, who would be able to restrain Mi Shi?

Su Youwei, standing nearby, heard this and said, "Mi Shi is a formidable opponent. His Highness's Genesis Qi foundation is, after all, somewhat different from his. If this drags on, his disadvantage will only grow. Rather than that, it's better to take a chance. From what I know of His Highness, he wouldn't take such a great risk if he weren't confident."

Ai Qing glanced at the girl whose beauty and demeanor even she found captivating. She could clearly hear the protectiveness in Su Youwei's words towards Zhou Yuan. However, not one to argue, she calmly said, "Do you believe Captain Zhou Yuan can defeat Mi Shi by taking such a risk? Of course, I hope so too, as that would be the best outcome. But you can't deny, what if he fails?"

"Then I will step forward," Su Youwei replied with equal calmness, "even if it means my death, I will stall him for a moment."

The guards nearby exchanged glances. Although the two women spoke without much emotion, everyone could sense the underlying tension in their exchange.

At this moment, Wu Yao's red lips slightly parted as she calmly said, "Zhou Yuan isn't a fool. He should know the consequences. So, if he's making this choice, then in his calculations, the outcome won't be worse than simply dragging this out little by little."

Although she had a deep-seated grievance with Zhou Yuan, he was ultimately a person of Hunyuan Heaven. He was fighting desperately on the front lines to resist a formidable enemy, and they, in the rear, should not question his choices.

Guan Qinglong, seeing the three women's demeanor, felt a bit helpless and gave a wry smile. "Captain Ai Qing," he said, "please focus on helping me break the seal first. Regardless of Captain Zhou Yuan's choice, once the seal is lifted, I can handle the situation."

His words exuded a certain confidence.

This was the pride of Hunyuan Heaven's strongest Heavenly Sun Stage expert. Although his appearance this time wasn't smooth—he was sealed by a powerful move from a teammate shortly after the battle began... he couldn't really be blamed for that.

Hearing this, Ai Qing said no more. She lowered her gaze and accelerated her efforts to break the seal.

As the terrifying aura continued to gather, Zhou Yuan, clad in silver armor, slowly raised his palm. A seven-colored ray of light appeared in his palm, dazzling and beautiful, like a shimmering seven-colored fish.

But as it emerged, the void around Zhou Yuan was continuously sliced, forming dark, ethereal traces.

Zhou Yuan's gaze, sharp as a blade beneath his silver armor, locked onto Mi Shi. The next instant, he raised his palm.

"Seven-Colored Heaven-Severing Sword Light!"

The seven-colored ray shot forth, directly piercing the void and streaking away.

A low growl erupted from Mi Shi's throat. His figure abruptly shot backward, but no matter how he shifted, the void in front of him continued to shatter directly. The seven-colored ray, as if capable of traversing spatial distances, followed closely.

From that seven-colored ray, Mi Shi also felt a power that made his skin crawl.

The power was too immense.

"So it's finally here? I've been waiting for you. I want to see if your seven-colored sword light, capable of cleaving heaven and earth, can break through my Indestructible Stone Body!"

However, Mi Shi felt no fear; instead, a look of madness flickered in his eyes. He let out a long howl, and the Saint Pupil in his glabella suddenly erupted with ancient light. The light spread like water, completely covering his body.

"Saint Pupil: Indestructible Stone Body!"

And at this moment, Mi Shi's body began to undergo a massive transformation. His body rapidly expanded to about ten meters in height, his flesh and blood fading away, replaced by a dense grayish-white color. In just a few breaths, he transformed into an ancient stone man with a mottled surface, as if aged by countless years.

The ancient stone man let out a low roar from its throat, then immediately crossed its stone arms in front of itself, like a mottled stone shield.

And at that very instant, the void before him shattered, and a ray of seven-colored light broke through.

The seven-colored ray directly struck the stone arms.

In that instant, the world seemed to freeze momentarily.

Immediately afterward, an earth-shattering roar echoed, and a massive shockwave, thousands of meters wide, swept forth. The ground instantly shattered, cut into countless deep fissures. Both sides' personnel who couldn't dodge in time were sent flying backward, spitting blood, their bodies covered in sharp bloody gashes from the impact.

At the epicenter, where Zhou Yuan and Mi Shi clashed, an unfathomably deep crater appeared. The crater was dark and its edges smooth as a mirror, as if a sharp blade had sliced through tofu.

Innumerable horrified gazes converged upon it.

Such a terrifying clash sent shivers down the spines of even the top combatants from both sides.

They wondered who would emerge victorious from such a collision.

As all eyes focused, the Genesis Qi fluctuations at the epicenter gradually receded. Then, everyone saw an ancient stone man standing quietly in the void, still in the posture of crossing its arms in front.

"Did he block it?"

Amidst the uncertain whispers, a sudden crack echoed from the ancient stone man's arms. Cracks spread, and then fragments of stone continuously crumbled away, the fissures rapidly extending across more than half of the stone man's body...

Half of the stone man's body exploded into fragments, revealing Mi Shi's face from within the broken stone. At this moment, his body was covered in bloody marks, making him look like shattered porcelain.

He coughed up blood.

He coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, his lips scarlet as he stared at Zhou Yuan, then grinned menacingly. "What a tyrannical Saint Genesis Art... to be able to damage my Indestructible Stone Body to this extent..."

"But what a pity... I still withstood it!"

Mi Shi threw his head back and laughed wildly. Although he was also wounded by the seven-colored ray, he hadn't been directly killed. Clearly, his Indestructible Stone Body wasn't overly afraid of that seven-colored ray.

"Hahaha, Zhou Yuan, while the power of a Saint Genesis Art is indeed formidable, with your current foundation, that one strike must have exhausted your strength. What will you use to fight me now?!"

Mi Shi's wild laughter echoed across the battlefield, causing the expressions of the forces from the three heavens to change, their faces filled with unease.

In the rear, Ai Qing sighed and gently shook her head. Indeed, just as she had thought, Zhou Yuan's risky move hadn't achieved the desired effect.

The situation from now on would likely become even more difficult.

Amidst Mi Shi's wild laughter, the silver armor on Zhou Yuan's body suddenly dimmed, then quickly turned into silver liquid and dripped away...

Zhou Yuan's expression was calm. He glanced at the receding silver armor, then looked at the laughing Mi Shi, a peculiar smile suddenly appearing at the corner of his mouth.

His figure shot forth.

"You suicidal fool! You dare to charge at your death!"

When Mi Shi saw Zhou Yuan actually daring to advance, a savage, cruel smile immediately appeared on his face.

However, just as his smile bloomed, Mi Shi suddenly saw a flash of seven-colored light in Zhou Yuan's eyes. The next instant, another incomparably terrifying fluctuation erupted from within Zhou Yuan's body.

A ray of seven-colored light shot directly skyward from the crown of Zhou Yuan's head, then, as swift as lightning, slashed down at Mi Shi once more.

Mi Shi was dumbfounded, then his scalp suddenly tingled, and a profound fear welled up in his eyes. He turned and fled without hesitation, while an incredulous roar echoed in his mind.

"You bastard! How is this possible... How could there be a second sword light?!"
