Chapter 1252: Ancestor Soul Mountain Appears

Blood splattered everywhere across the battlefield, and the many eyes fixed on this area were filled with shock and horror. Clearly, this scene had a powerful visual impact on them.

Who would have thought that a powerful Genesis Beast, comparable to a peak seventh-grade expert, would be shattered to pieces by a single punch from the suddenly appearing young man? What immense power was that? Was that person also a Pseudo-Law Domain expert? But if their perception wasn't wrong, that person should only be at the Great Nascent Source stage, right? And he was human. Then he must be Zhou Yuan, who entered the Myriad Beast Heaven under the Golden Roc clan's name? Wasn't it said that he had only entered the Nascent Source stage about half a year ago? How could he be so terrifying then?

The experts from various clans in Myriad Beast Heaven were filled with doubt and astonishment.

Zhou Yuan paid no attention to the many shocked gazes. He looked up at the blood raining down, and a hint of surprise was also hidden deep within his eyes. Because he also hadn't expected that his punch would pulverize the opponent so thoroughly that not even a corpse remained. This powerful Genesis Beast was not weak; it could be considered a formidable fighter within the Genesis Beast clan, otherwise, it wouldn't have been sent to infiltrate and ambush. Yet, such a figure was instantly reduced to dust by his single punch.

"My strength has actually increased to this extent this time..." Zhou Yuan clicked his tongue in amazement. The month-long baptism in the Ancestral Soul Pool this time had clearly improved him beyond his expectations.

Now, his Spirit had entered the late stage of Transformation, which was comparable to a perfected Nascent Source. Furthermore, the Nascent Source within his Divine Dwelling had also advanced further, growing from seven inches to seven point six inches. His physical body had also improved; his Saint Glazed Body had become increasingly powerful. If his Saint Glazed Body before was merely an initial step, now it had essentially reached a new level of mastery. Previously, if purely comparing physical bodies, he might have been slightly weaker than Jiang Hongying, that tigress. But now, Zhou Yuan was confident he could suppress her physically.

Advancements on three levels had directly caused Zhou Yuan's combat power to skyrocket.

Zhou Yuan felt comfortable. Suddenly, he felt a gaze fixed on his face, which made him realize he was still holding someone. He subtly released his arm and smiled at Ai Qing, asking, "Are you alright?"

Ai Qing lowered her phoenix eyes, then raised her beautiful face and smiled. "Thank you so much," she said. "Otherwise, this situation would have been disastrous."

Zhou Yuan's timely arrival not only saved her but, more importantly, also saved the injured camp below. Just for this, all the clans would likely have to thank Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand, just about to speak, when a streak of light descended from the sky and landed on his head. It was Tun Tun, yawning. It glanced at the beautiful Ai Qing, then angrily patted Zhou Yuan's head, sending a thought into his mind: "Pervert, how dare you cheat on Sis Boss! You're dead!" This was followed by an emoji of Tun Tun breathing fire.

Zhou Yuan's mouth twitched. Genesis Qi surged, causing his hair to instantly bristle like needles, pricking Tun Tun, who was perched on top, and making it yelp. After teaching this little rascal a lesson, Zhou Yuan's gaze suddenly lifted again towards a distant mountaintop. There, a woman with a long ponytail was looking this way, and from her, Zhou Yuan sensed faint, almost imperceptible, dangerous fluctuations. His heart tightened slightly. This woman seemed very strong. Fortunately, the latter seemed to sigh in relief as she looked this way, and then even gave him a smile, which was full of goodwill. Seeing this, Zhou Yuan also nodded in acknowledgment.

"That's my aunt, Ai Tuanzi. She's considered the strongest person sent into Myriad Beast Heaven this time," Ai Qing immediately said, noticing his gaze. Zhou Yuan couldn't help but inwardly chuckle when he heard the name, but he managed not to laugh aloud, merely nodding silently. No wonder even he sensed a strong dangerous aura; she was the mainstay sent by Myriad Beast Heaven this time.

At this moment, powerful Genesis Qi fluctuations rapidly tore through the air from the distant horizon, emitting a pervasive aura of killing intent. They were clearly the top experts from various clans who had received the signal and rushed here. However, when they arrived, they found no Genesis Beast experts. So, their surprised and questioning gazes could only turn to Zhou Yuan and Ai Qing, who were in mid-air.

"Ai Qing, where is the infiltrating Genesis Beast enemy?" asked a handsome man with an extraordinary demeanor, who stepped through the air with a sharp gaze. This person was Ai Zhi of the Spirit Phoenix clan.

Ai Qing replied, "The enemy has been slain by Zhou Yuan. Thanks to him, otherwise, the injured camp would have suffered heavy losses."

The top experts from other clans also cast surprised glances at the young man beside Ai Qing. In fact, they had also sensed the brief clash that had occurred here earlier, and the power involved had startled even them. They had initially thought it was Ai Tuanzi who had acted, but now, it turned out to be Zhou Yuan?

Jiang Hongying was also among the crowd. She looked at Zhou Yuan, her expression slightly unnatural, and she keenly sensed that Zhou Yuan seemed even stronger now than a month ago. Clearly, he must have gained significant fortuitous encounters in the Ancestral Soul Tree. Jiang Ba, standing beside her, was expressionless. After all, their Xuanlong clan had lost face at Zhou Yuan's hands this time, so it was unlikely they would show him a pleasant expression. Jin Lan and Jin Qingtian of the Golden Roc clan were also observing Zhou Yuan. The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, having clearly noticed Zhou Yuan's change as well.

Besides them, the top experts from the other major clans all nodded at Zhou Yuan, showing goodwill. After all, they had no disputes or conflicts with Zhou Yuan, and now Zhou Yuan had saved the injured camp, which also contained members of their own clans.

"Are you Zhou Yuan of Hunyuan Heaven?" Ai Zhi's expression was calm as he spoke.

Zhou Yuan glanced at Ai Zhi. After his Spirit entered the late stage of Transformation, his perception had reached a level far beyond what was previously possible. So, with just a sweep of his gaze, he could sense that Ai Zhi seemed to harbor a hint of scrutiny and dissatisfaction towards him. Thus, he had no intention of paying much attention; he merely nodded faintly.

His attitude caused Ai Zhi's expression to darken slightly. He then said, "Thank you for your help this time. However, even if you hadn't acted at that critical moment, Aunt Ai is here and could have still eliminated the infiltrator."

Zhou Yuan ignored him, merely lifting his gaze towards the distant, dark horizon. The top experts from other clans also looked, and their pupils all contracted slightly. There, they saw black mist rising, shrouding the sky and obscuring the sun, and a pair of scarlet, violent eyes staring their way, sending shivers down their spines. Clearly, it was a top expert from the Genesis Beast clan spying from there, and its target was obvious: Ai Tuanzi. The infiltrating Genesis Beast expert was merely meant to distract Ai Tuanzi and draw her into action. Therefore, if Zhou Yuan hadn't acted in time, their side might indeed have been ambushed today. And if anything had happened to Ai Tuanzi, it would have been a huge blow to Myriad Beast Heaven.

"This time, our Myriad Beast Heaven truly owes Elder Zhou Yuan a favor," a figure slowly said. The speaker was an unusually obese man who looked like a ball of flesh. He wore a benevolent smile on his face; his skin appeared somewhat mottled but gave off a sense of solid, mountain-like defense. The leaders of the other clans also nodded slowly.

Ai Zhi's expression was slightly grim, but in the end, he swallowed his words to avoid further unpleasantness.

In the distant sky, the scarlet eyes gradually dispersed, seemingly with some reluctance.

On the mountaintop, a chill flashed in Ai Tuanzi's eyes. Just as she was about to move, her expression suddenly changed, and she abruptly looked up towards the distant horizon. At the same time, Zhou Yuan also looked in that direction; his powerful Spirit perception allowed him to immediately detect the anomaly there.

The moment Ai Tuanzi and Zhou Yuan looked over, the Genesis Qi between heaven and earth suddenly surged violently.

Rumble!

The earth also churned violently at this moment, as if a dragon was rolling beneath the ground. Everyone could see the distant earth cracking open as an indescribable surge of murderous and ferocious fluctuations soared into the sky, causing the entire Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven to tremble intensely. The earth cracked open, and a crimson, blood-red, colossal mountain slowly rose from deep within the earth.

At this instant, all eyes within the entire Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven were cast towards it. When they saw the crimson mountain, their breathing suddenly grew heavy. Even the top experts from various clans near Zhou Yuan were no exception. Because that crimson mountain was precisely the greatest fortuitous encounter they had been awaiting in the Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven...

The Ancestral Soul Mountain!
