Chapter 1262: Battle of the Pseudo-Law Domain

When Zhou Yuan's figure landed on the seed battle platform, he could feel the heavens and earth suddenly seeming to stretch higher and farther, as if space itself was expanding. The battle platform appeared to be only ten thousand feet square, but in reality, the space within it was vast enough to withstand the destructive forces of any conflict below the Law Domain stage.

In the distance ahead, Chi Bei, whose face was as gaunt as a skeleton, stared blankly at Zhou Yuan. After a long moment, a peculiar curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

"You... you actually dared to come up," Chi Bei said with an uncontrollable laugh, as if he found Zhou Yuan utterly clueless. Although he knew Zhou Yuan had a considerable reputation among the heavens, he still couldn't understand where a Great Genesis Infant found the courage to interfere in a conflict between those of their pseudo-Law Domain level.

"The way you're acting, I almost thought I'd stepped onto a Saint's battle platform," Zhou Yuan said with a smile.

Chi Bei shook his head. "Your words are sharp, but unfortunately, they are useless." He extended a withered finger, pointing it from afar at Zhou Yuan. "I will claim your head today; it will become my stepping stone to promotion within the Saint race."

As his words fell, Chi Bei wasted no more time. A terrifying wave of Genesis Qi erupted from his body. The vast Genesis Qi obscured the sky and sun, causing the void to shatter. An boundless pressure swept forth, subtly discernible even beyond the battle platform.

Under such oppressive force, Zhou Yuan's body felt as if it bore a mountain. His gaze became slightly grave, for the Genesis Qi foundation erupting from Chi Bei's body had reached a terrifying level of 140 billion!

"As expected, he's very troublesome," Zhou Yuan muttered. No wonder even Ai Zhi was reluctant to fight Chi Bei; the difference between them was too vast. Anyone who tried would simply be offering themselves as an easy target.

Zhou Yuan took a step forward. Within his Divine Dwelling, the seven-inch, six-fen Genesis Infant sat cross-legged, and a torrent of Genesis Qi suddenly erupted. Platinum-colored Genesis Qi obscured the sky, but its intensity was far inferior to Chi Bei's. Even after the baptism and enhancement from the Pure Ancestral Soul Pool, Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi foundation had only barely reached a level of just over 110 billion. This left a gap of nearly 30 billion between him and Chi Bei. If it were any ordinary Genesis Infant expert facing such a disparity, they would likely have despaired and conceded long ago.

"This meager Genesis Qi foundation is your confidence? You're even worse than that waste from the Spirit Phoenix clan," Chi Bei chuckled hoarsely.

Zhou Yuan ignored him, simply clasping his hands together abruptly. "Promote!" "Earth Saint Rune!" Two amplification secret techniques were instantly activated. As the ground trembled, Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi steadily soared, reaching over 120 billion within a few breaths.

Seeing this, Chi Bei's eyes narrowed. "A secret technique that can temporarily boost one's foundation... you certainly have a lot of good things on you." At their level, ordinary amplification secret techniques were no longer effective, unless they were true Saint Artifacts or treasures. But items of that caliber were rare even for genuine Law Domain experts, let alone those of their pseudo-Law Domain status. Yet, Zhou Yuan seemed to have activated two such secret techniques, which was truly enviable.

"But unfortunately, it's still useless," Chi Bei said indifferently. The next moment, he raised his palm and lightly slapped it down through the air. As that palm descended, the void above Zhou Yuan instantly shattered. An enormous white-boned giant palm, wrapped in grayish-white Genesis Qi, roared down like a doomsday star, crashing heavily towards Zhou Yuan's position. At that instant, even space itself exploded into countless fragments.

The terrifying descending pressure made Zhou Yuan's expression solemn. He tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and the next moment, crimson patterns suddenly spread across his skin. An astonishing high temperature erupted from his nostrils, burning away the very air, and the ground beneath his feet began to turn into lava.

"Great Blazing Demon!" Accompanied by a low roar, his body suddenly expanded, transforming in an instant into a completely crimson, magma demon figure. On the colossal body of the demon figure, crimson patterns formed by magma flowed and wound, eventually converging at its chest into a fiery-red demonic eye made of magma. The demonic eye was scarlet, seeming to contain a world of magma within it.

In the Ancestral Soul Pool previously, Zhou Yuan not only enhanced his Genesis Qi foundation but also significantly improved his Divine Soul and physical body. And the Great Blazing Demon had, by virtue of this, truly reached the Grand Completion stage. The Great Blazing Demon was a top-tier Minor Saint Art specializing in physical cultivation. Although its rank wasn't that of a true Saint Genesis Art, when it reached Grand Completion, combined with Zhou Yuan's increasingly formidable Saint Glazed Body, it was capable of unleashing terrifying power.

"Great Blazing Demon, Blazing Eye Realm!" As a low roar echoed in Zhou Yuan's mind, thousands of crimson lights suddenly burst forth from the scarlet demonic eye in the magma demon figure's chest. The crimson lights swept fiercely towards the descending white-boned giant palm. The white-boned giant palm transformed into a grayish-white light and was directly drawn into the magma demonic eye. Instantly, violent tremors emanated from within the eye, as if a world-shaking collision was taking place. However, this disturbance gradually subsided after about ten seconds. Many observers could see grayish-white aura continuously rising from it; the white-boned giant palm had been directly incinerated within.

"Interesting, to be able to refine one's vital energy to such an extent." Chi Bei was somewhat surprised. He could sense that the magma and intense heat radiating from the demonic figure were all transformations of Zhou Yuan's vital energy, which clearly required extremely high attainments in physical cultivation. As he spoke, the crimson eye on the magma demon figure's chest suddenly spewed forth billions of magma torrents, sweeping overwhelmingly towards Chi Bei like falling meteors, threatening to scour the heavens. The offensive was immense.

Chi Bei looked at this spectacular sight, smiled faintly, and slowly spread his palms. A grayish-white Law Domain suddenly expanded at this moment, with Chi Bei's body as its origin point. That Law Domain was 2,500 feet in size! And Chi Bei's indifferent voice also rose.

"This is the Myriad Bones Law Domain!" The instant his voice fell, countless white bones appeared out of thin air in the void, then rapidly connected, directly forming an immense wall of white bones.

Boom! Boom! Countless magma torrents crashed into it, but they were completely repelled by the bone wall, unable to cause even the slightest damage.

"Zhou Yuan, stop playing these flashy tricks..." "...Just let me... kill you quickly." Chi Bei extended his skeletal hand towards the magma demon figure that Zhou Yuan had transformed into, slightly bending his five fingers. The void tore open, and countless white bones emerged, coiling around the magma demon figure like white vines. Even the high temperature of the magma couldn't incinerate them.

"Bone God's Grasp!" As Chi Bei's indifferent words sounded, the vine-like white bones suddenly tightened their grip. The void there directly collapsed, forming a massive black hole. With the compression of the white bone vines, the magma demon figure, under the shocked gazes of many, directly shattered and exploded, sending magma spraying everywhere.
