Chapter 1269: After Integration Zhou Yuan

**Chapter 1265**

**Zhou Yuan After the Fusion**

Above Ancestral Soul Mountain.

A terrifying storm of Genesis Qi raged. Ai Tuanzi and the others watched with expressions of wild joy and shock. A few breaths later, as the storm subsided, the figure at its center became clearly visible to everyone.

This time, there were no strange or bizarre shapes. Zhou Yuan still maintained his human form, but his physique seemed to have become more slender and upright. His original black hair had turned into brilliant gold. Golden long hair cascaded down his back, shimmering with dazzling brilliance. However, the only slightly jarring detail was a tuft of golden "ahoge" (cowlick) on his head, which swayed gently in the wind, appearing quite stubborn. Zhou Yuan's hands had also grown somewhat larger, with mysterious black light constantly flickering at his fingertips. With a slight clench, he could even shatter space. Waves of extremely terrifying Genesis Qi pressure emanated from his body, making it difficult for Ai Tuanzi and the others nearby to breathe.

"Did he succeed?" Ai Tuanzi and the others' faces were filled with pleasant surprise.

Under many gazes, Zhou Yuan lightly twisted his neck and stretched his limbs. As he felt the nearly terrifying Genesis Qi reserves within his body, a look of shock flickered in his eyes. "He's... this strong?" In terms of Genesis Qi reserves alone, he had undoubtedly reached 300 billion. Zhou Yuan felt that in his current state, he could probably even face a true Law Domain expert head-on.

"That's because my power is supporting you," Tun Tun's thought, laced with triumph, echoed in Zhou Yuan's mind.

Zhou Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then pondered for a moment and said, "Overall, it's pretty good, but can you get rid of that tuft of ahoge on my head?" That tuft of ahoge was clearly something that little brat Tun Tun had conjured up before to act cute for Yao Yao, so why was it on his head now?! However, in response to Zhou Yuan's angry questioning, Tun Tun's thoughts fell silent, as if it had turned into a dead dog.

Zhou Yuan's face darkened; he knew well enough that this tuft of ahoge was the masterpiece of that little rascal, Tun Tun. But it wasn't the time to argue with Tun Tun. Zhou Yuan could only hold his nose and accept it. He then lifted his head, his sharp gaze fixed on the crimson Supreme Battle Stage atop the mountain.

Meanwhile, Chi Xuan, standing within it, was watching him with a somewhat gloomy expression. Clearly, Zhou Yuan's sudden surge in Genesis Qi fluctuations had made Chi Xuan feel a sense of danger. He never expected that Zhou Yuan and Tun Tun's seemingly random tinkering earlier had actually produced something significant.

"I'm going in." Zhou Yuan retracted his gaze and told Ai Tuanzi and the others.

Ai Tuanzi and the others all adopted solemn expressions: "We await your triumphant return here!" Zhou Yuan was now their last hope. If even Zhou Yuan and Tun Tun couldn't defeat Chi Xuan, then Ancestral Soul Mountain might very well fall into the control of the Abyssal Beast race today. For All-Beast Heaven, this would be an unacceptable humiliation.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand, and with a single movement, he appeared as if teleporting onto the peak of Ancestral Soul Mountain. His figure directly descended towards the Supreme Battle Stage below.

As he approached the Supreme Battle Stage, Zhou Yuan could clearly feel an extremely powerful repulsive force emanating from it. If it were Zhou Yuan before the fusion, that repulsive force would likely have sent him flying in an instant. "What Chi Xuan said wasn't false," Zhou Yuan thought. "If one's Genesis Qi reserves are below 300 billion, they don't even qualify to step onto this battle stage." Zhou Yuan sighed inwardly. Immediately, a faint black light flickered on the surface of his body. The moment the black light appeared, all repulsive forces seemed to vanish into thin air, and his figure passed through the repulsive force field, landing directly onto the Supreme Battle Stage. Seeing his smooth entry, the All-Beast Heaven forces immediately erupted in cheers. Ai Tuanzi, Zhuang Xiaoming, and the others also felt a sense of relief. Regardless of the final outcome, at least now they once again had the qualifications to contend with Chi Xuan.

On the Supreme Battle Stage, Chi Xuan watched the descending Zhou Yuan with cold, dark eyes and calmly said, "Interesting. You can even use such a method to cheat your way onto the Supreme Battle Stage."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, "The way you're acting, it sounds like you're standing here because of your own skill?" Chi Xuan was able to enter the Supreme Battle Stage by leveraging the power of the barrier and drawing upon the fierce aura of Ancestral Soul Mountain. Otherwise, with his pure individual strength, he could never have reached this level. Strictly speaking, perhaps no pseudo-Law Domain expert could achieve it. So, both sides were cheating; why mock each other?

"Zhou Yuan, kill him! Kill him!" Tun Tun clamored within Zhou Yuan.

Chi Xuan sneered, not bothering with further pleasantries with Zhou Yuan. He took a step forward, and a torrent of Genesis Qi surged forth, shaking the very heavens. The pressure was so immense that even with the battle stage's barrier, the onlookers outside felt their hearts tremble. "Fine then," Chi Xuan sneered. "Winning without shedding blood always feels like something's missing. Using your blood and that of the Innate Saint Beast to celebrate will be perfect!" Chi Xuan grinned ferociously. He abruptly tore at the void with both hands, and the space there was ripped open. The next moment, incredibly violent roars echoed from within the void, and a black torrent poured out. This black torrent seemed to contain countless fierce beast souls, fangs bared and claws outstretched, their shrill cries shaking one's very soul.

Zhou Yuan looked up, watching the roaring torrent of beast souls. He immediately curled his fingers into a claw, and a black light condensed in his palm, suddenly transforming into a black vortex. The vortex expanded from his palm, instantly growing a hundredfold, like a black hole. The beast soul torrent surged forward with malevolence, but as it came into contact with the black hole vortex, it was completely swallowed as the vortex spun. Zhou Yuan's body also slightly trembled at this moment. Immediately, his lips parted into a grin, his eyes filled with awe: "What powerful devouring force!" In the instant of contact, the opponent's offensive was almost directly devoured by him, using his devouring power. Clearly, this was Tun Tun's devouring power. Moreover, after these powers were devoured, a portion of them was converted into usable strength for himself. This ability seemed exceptionally domineering. Zhou Yuan was filled with envy. Innate Saint Beasts truly were blessed by nature; ordinary people would struggle to obtain such special power no matter how hard they cultivated.

"Here, take it back!" Zhou Yuan let out a long roar, stomped his foot, and the special material ground of the Supreme Battle Stage immediately cracked. His figure, as if teleporting, directly shattered the void and appeared in front of Chi Xuan, then unleashed a punch. With a single punch, over 300 billion Genesis Qi reserves erupted. At that moment, the void shattered directly, like a mirror. Zhou Yuan's originally platinum-colored Genesis Qi also transformed; within the platinum, threads of deep black light were interwoven, making it appear mysterious and unfathomable. The power of this punch was such that if any of Ai Tuanzi or the others were there, they would likely be utterly pulverized by a single hit.

Chi Xuan's face turned cold. He suddenly opened his mouth and roared, and a black aura surged out, transforming into a massive and hideous black beast head. The beast head, imbued with boundless ferocity, directly clashed head-on with Zhou Yuan's torrent of fist light. The moment of impact, a sky-shattering Genesis Qi shockwave erupted. The void shattered layer by layer, and spatial fragments continuously rained down in all directions. Zhou Yuan and Chi Xuan's figures bore the brunt, both being sent reeling backward. However, Zhou Yuan only retreated a hundred feet. The swirling devouring vortexes around his body completely dissolved the force. Chi Xuan, on the other hand, endured the full impact, his body retreating over a thousand feet before he finally stabilized himself, his expression grim. This clash had already made him realize that Zhou Yuan's power was no longer inferior to his own.

"How exhilarating," Zhou Yuan said, his spirits soaring.

Chi Xuan's face was expressionless, but a dense killing intent surged in his eyes, before everything returned to stillness. The person before him was already a formidable enemy; he could not be underestimated. Since that was the case, he would exert his full strength and slay him here. With a shift in his thoughts, Chi Xuan formed hand seals, slowly bringing his palms together. A cold, chilling voice slowly resounded within the Supreme Battle Stage.

"Beast Demon Law Domain!"
