Chapter 1259: Ai Zhi's Move

Under the expectant gaze of many, Ai Zhu’s figure shot into the sky and landed directly on one of the Seed Battle Stages.

On that stage, a burly figure, whose gaze was filled with malevolence and chilling intent, was fixed on him.

This person was Fan Feng, a Pseudo-Domain expert from the Demonic Beast Clan. Earlier, he had used the enhancement of fierce malevolent energy to inflict heavy damage and defeat one of Myriad Beasts Heaven's Pseudo-Domain experts.

“Is there no one left in Myriad Beasts Heaven? Even a Peak Nascent Source stage dares to meddle here?” Fan Feng bared his teeth in a sneer, his body radiating a terrifyingly fierce aura.

Ai Zhu gazed indifferently at the Demonic Beast Clan’s Pseudo-Domain expert. He said nothing unnecessary, simply taking a step forward.

At that instant, a vast and mighty Genesis Qi surged like a storm from within him. So powerful was this Genesis Qi that it seemed to make the very star river tremble.

Many gazes fixed on him were filled with shock.

For the Genesis Qi foundation that erupted from Ai Zhu’s body had astonishingly reached the level of 120 billion!

What a terrifying foundation!

One must know, even Fan Feng, standing before him, had previously revealed a foundation of only 125 billion!

In other words, purely in terms of Genesis Qi foundation, Ai Zhu was not much weaker than Fan Feng, a Pseudo-Domain expert.

Outside Ancestral Soul Mountain, Zhou Yuan watched this scene and nodded slightly. Although Ai Zhu was somewhat annoying, his strength was undeniable. He was indeed worthy of being the strongest seventh-grade expert in Myriad Beasts Heaven.

Zhou Yuan’s current Genesis Qi foundation, after the fortuitous encounter within the Ancestral Soul Tree, should now be around 110 billion, a little lower than Ai Zhu’s. Of course, this was just pure Genesis Qi foundation. If his various secret techniques, physical strength, and divine soul were factored in, his combat power would still increase by another level.

“Zhou Yuan, can Ai Zhu handle that Demonic Beast Clan Pseudo-Domain expert?” Ai Qing, standing beside him, asked with some concern. Although she had reservations about some of Ai Zhu’s actions, the current situation affected the entire reputation of Myriad Beasts Heaven. If the Demonic Beast Clan truly suppressed Myriad Beasts Heaven here, the Source Beasts of Myriad Beasts Heaven would likely become a laughingstock among all heavens.

Zhou Yuan lowered his gaze slightly and said calmly, “This Demonic Beast Clan Pseudo-Domain expert isn’t too strong. The only slightly troublesome aspect might be his Domain. However, Ai Zhu seems quite confident, so he likely has a way to deal with it.”

Hearing this, Ai Qing subtly let out a breath of relief. From this perspective, Ai Zhu’s chances of winning were still considerable.

Zhou Yuan, however, remained silent. He knew that the crucial point of today’s situation was not here. Therefore, even if Ai Zhu truly won, it wouldn’t affect the overall picture.

Because, apart from this spot, the other Seed Battle Stages for Myriad Beasts Heaven were also starting to waver. The previous enhancement had given the Demonic Beast Clan a significant advantage.

An astonishing Genesis Qi pressure permeated the air. Fan Feng’s originally sinister face gradually became solemn at this moment.

“I underestimated you.”

Fan Feng said slowly. The opponent’s Genesis Qi foundation was indeed enough to pose a threat to him. What made him somewhat envious and jealous was that Ai Zhu was currently only at the Peak Nascent Source stage. With such a foundation, once he opened a Pseudo-Domain, his strength would undoubtedly far surpass Fan Feng’s current level.

This thought ignited, causing murderous intent to suddenly surge within Fan Feng’s heart.

If Ai Zhu were to be slain here, the Spirit Phoenix Clan would undoubtedly lose a future Domain expert!

“Your potential is good, but unfortunately, you’re a bit foolish. No matter what you become in the future, for now, I’m afraid you’re still no match for me!”

Fan Feng’s mouth suddenly puffed up, and the next instant, he opened his mouth and spat.

Whoosh!

A vast black wind roared forth, within which seemed to be countless shrieks, enough to shatter divine souls. The continuous black wind directly swept towards Ai Zhu, intending to shred him.

Wherever the black wind passed, the void was corroded, riddled with holes.

Ai Zhu’s eyes narrowed. With a grip of his hand, splendid feathers condensed from his grasp, eventually forming a five-colored feather fan.

With a wave of the feather fan, a magnificent blaze of light surged forth. The temperature of the world instantly rose, scorching the void until it warped and shattered.

The brilliant light blaze collided with the black wind, emitting a piercing sound. The two forces held each other in a stalemate before dissipating into nothingness simultaneously.

Shockwaves roared past, creating a deafening sonic boom as they frictioned against the air.

“Is this the power of a Pseudo-Domain? Doesn’t seem that strong!” Ai Zhu’s lips curled into an arrogant smile as he declared loudly.

If it were just a clash of Genesis Qi foundations, the opponent might be slightly stronger than him, but only marginally so. Moreover, as a top prodigy of the Spirit Phoenix Clan, Ai Zhu’s Genesis Qi cultivation techniques and his innate bloodline power were clearly superior to Fan Feng’s.

“You’re asking for death!”

Deep murderous intent flashed in Fan Feng’s eyes. The next moment, he took a step forward and snarled, “Black Wind Corroding Bone Domain!”

Whoosh!

The black Domain suddenly expanded to a size of over a thousand zhang, within which endless black winds howled, filling onlookers with dread.

Ultimately, Fan Feng still brought out his Pseudo-Domain.

The Domain roared and directly enveloped Ai Zhu, who made no attempt to dodge.

“Once you’re inside my Domain, do you think you’ll have a way out?!” Fan Feng revealed a ferocious grin. The next moment, boundless black winds swept directly towards Ai Zhu’s location.

Wherever the black wind passed, even Genesis Qi was forcibly corroded and assimilated.

Around Ai Zhu, brilliant Genesis Qi flames constantly surged, resisting the erosion of the boundless black winds.

His face also showed a hint of solemnity. Although he had prepared in advance, being inside the Domain, he still felt immense pressure.

“But to feel this kind of pressure from a Domain less than two thousand zhang wide...” Ai Zhu sighed inwardly. If he were to face a stronger Pseudo-Domain, like those of Ai Tuanzi and the others, he would probably find it truly difficult to resist.

However, this also sparked hope in Ai Zhu’s heart. Pseudo-Domains were so powerful. As long as he obtained a Domain Seed here, he would be able to step into that long-desired realm.

“Therefore, no one can stop me from obtaining a Domain Seed!”

Ai Zhu’s gaze, cold as ice, locked onto Fan Feng’s figure. Immediately, his hands rapidly changed their seals, and a magnificent blaze of light surged overwhelmingly from within his body.

The light blaze gradually condensed and astonishingly formed a massive blazing cauldron!

The cauldron enveloped Ai Zhu’s figure. Within it, surging flames swept like waves, crashing against the cauldron walls in successive surges.

Faintly, an incredibly violent fluctuation seemed to emanate.

“Do you think this tortoise shell can protect you?” Fan Feng sneered. With a clasp of his hands, from within the boundless black wind, two streaks of black light shot forth, intertwining to form a giant black wind scissors.

The blades of the black wind scissors intertwined, and on them, the sound of wind seemed to vibrate, capable of cutting through everything.

“Black Wind Sea-Dividing Scissors!”

Fan Feng’s fierce shout echoed. The black light streaked forth, tearing through the void like two massive black pythons, and directly snipped towards the blazing cauldron.

The two collided, and a tremendous sound resonated. The blazing cauldron trembled violently.

Clang! Clang!

However, facing the myriad light blades of the black wind scissors, the blazing cauldron displayed astonishing defense. Although it was constantly trembling, and faint cracks were even appearing, it never completely shattered.

Inside the blazing cauldron, Ai Zhu’s face was somewhat pale, and even blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. But he paid it no mind, only exerting all his strength to maintain the cauldron.

Because within the cauldron, the surging flames were constantly impacting the cauldron walls. And with each successive wave-like impact, a terrifying power was rapidly brewing.

A pair of eyes, gleaming with chilling intent and murderous desire, locked onto Fan Feng through the cauldron.

Clang! Clang!

Fan Feng continuously launched astonishing offensives and mocked him, saying, “You fellow, are you from the Spirit Phoenix Clan or the Spirit Tortoise Clan?”

Despite his mockery, Fan Feng’s eyes were somewhat gloomy, as he faintly sensed a hint of unease.

However, just then, as the black wind scissors swept past once more, a crack suddenly appeared on the blazing cauldron.

Fan Feng was overjoyed. His gaze pierced through the crack, and he could see Ai Zhu’s figure deep within the roaring blaze.

“Die!”

With a ferocious grin, he was about to tear open the crack, completely destroy the cauldron, and drag Ai Zhu out to slay him.

But at the very instant he unleashed the black wind scissors once more, Ai Zhu, inside the blazing cauldron, slowly curved his lips into a cruel arc.

His hands slowly came together.

All sounds within the blazing cauldron fell silent at this moment.

Only his low voice gently emerged.

“Seven Flames Cauldron, Domain Destruction!”

The next instant, from within the blazing cauldron, countless streams of fiery light erupted. At that moment, it was as if thousands of volcanoes had erupted simultaneously.

Seven-colored flames wildly burst forth, raging uncontrollably.

Wherever the flames passed, the black wind completely melted away. The thousand-zhang-wide Domain, at this moment, seemed to ignite and rapidly vanish.

Fan Feng’s face turned pale with horror. He frantically tried to retract his Domain.

Boom!

But it was too late. The terrifying flames swept like a colossal wave. In just a few breaths, the black wind Domain was forcibly destroyed and dissolved.

Fan Feng’s figure bore the brunt of the attack, engulfed by the horrifying flames. A shrill scream resonated. The next moment, as the flames surged past, a charred, coal-like figure appeared on the battle stage, its life force faint.

Across the world, many gazes watched this scene in shock.

The next moment, a sky-shattering cheer erupted from Myriad Beasts Heaven. They looked at the figure standing in the arena. Although Ai Zhu at this moment appeared extremely disheveled, pale-faced, and with a weakened aura, the excitement and radiance in his eyes were undeniable.

He won!

Within Ancestral Soul Mountain, Jiang Hongying, Jin Lan, Meng Chong, and other top seventh-grade figures from various clans were also somewhat shaken.

Ai Zhu, had he actually become this strong...?

However, amidst these widespread cheers, a terrifying Genesis Qi impact suddenly erupted from a Seed Battle Stage located higher up.

A mournful dragon’s roar rang out.

Then, many gazes watched in utter horror as a massive dragon silhouette, scattering dragon blood across the sky, crashed heavily onto the battle stage.

The cheers from Myriad Beasts Heaven abruptly ceased.

Gaze after gaze stared blankly at the scene, a chill rising in their hearts.

Especially Jiang Hongying, who began to tremble all over.

For that dragon silhouette was astonishingly Jiang Ba, their Profound Dragon Clan’s Pseudo-Domain expert!

One must know, Jiang Ba’s strength ranked absolutely among the top three Pseudo-Domain experts in Myriad Beasts Heaven. And such a powerful pillar had actually fallen at this moment?!

One after another, stunned gazes turned towards Jiang Ba’s opponent, where a skeletal figure, thin as a skeleton, stood grinning.

His hands were like white bones, and remnants of flesh torn from Jiang Ba still clung to them.

That was Chi Bei, a top Pseudo-Domain expert among the Demonic Beast Clan’s royal family, whose strength was clearly not on the same level as Fan Feng, whom Ai Zhu had defeated.

Chi Bei, having heavily wounded Jiang Ba, paid no attention to its still struggling massive body. Instead, he tilted his head slightly and cast his chilling gaze towards the battle stage where Ai Zhu was.

Chi Bei scrutinized Ai Zhu, a hideously unsettling smile appearing on his skeletal face. He lightly clapped his bony hands and said in a mild voice, “Not bad, you actually managed to break that good-for-nothing Fan Feng’s Domain...”

He beckoned gently.

“Then I wonder, do you have the guts to come and play a bit with me next?”

His voice slowly spread. And under his gaze, a sense of fear arose in Ai Zhu’s heart.

He faintly sensed that if he stepped onto that guy’s battle stage... he would probably die.
