Chapter 1319: Humiliation

"Chiliu, they’ve stopped!"

The Sacred Race forces, which had split into groups, were led by Chiliu with the assistance of two second-stage Law Domain experts. Although this lineup was considerably weaker than before, it was still quite formidable compared to the fleeing group ahead. It was at this moment that they noticed a change in the constantly fleeing group ahead. Their escape speed began to slow, eventually descending from the sky and landing on top of a distant volcano that flowed with lava and spewed high-temperature black mist.

"So, they've finally run out of steam?" Chiliu sneered, a ferocious expression on his lips.

"Could it be a trap?" the other two second-stage Law Domain experts asked cautiously.

Chiliu replied with a hint of helplessness, "They merely saw Captain Yuanquan leave with his people and our forces significantly reduced, so they're attempting a desperate gamble. If we're scared off, it'll be exactly what they want. If they manage to escape then, how will we explain ourselves when we return?"

Hearing this, the two second-stage Law Domain experts gave an awkward smile and nodded.

Seeing this, Chiliu raised a hand, and his entire group's speed began to decrease. They slowly descended, finally landing about a thousand feet away from their opponents.

"A bunch of rats. If you kneel now, perhaps you can at least keep your full corpses." Chiliu stood with his arms crossed, his eyes indifferently fixed on Zhou Yuan and the others. His calm voice carried a chilling aura of menace.

However, Zhou Yuan paid no heed to his trash talk. His gaze lingered for a moment on the three second-stage Law Domain experts, then he said softly, "The one who's talking, I'll handle him."

"Aren't you being a bit too arrogant?" Ai Tuanzi stammered.

Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi cultivation was currently only at the Genesis Infant stage. Although his Spirit had entered the Roaming Spirit stage, Spirit power wasn't particularly suited for direct confrontation, especially against a second-stage Law Domain expert. The gap between them was immense. Therefore, faced with Zhou Yuan's direct targeting of their most formidable enemy, not only Ai Tuanzi felt doubtful, but the other members of the group also showed surprise, uncertainty, and unease.

"Stop worrying so much. Even if everyone here dies, he'll probably still be alive and kicking," Zhao Mushen suddenly interjected, a cold sneer on his face. He clearly found their doubts somewhat amusing.

After all, as Zhou Yuan's former formidable opponent, he knew best how endless this guy's trump cards were. Although Zhou Yuan appeared to be only at the Genesis Infant stage, Zhao Mushen vaguely felt that he was certainly hiding his true strength. Moreover, the Genesis Qi fluctuations occasionally emanating from Zhou Yuan previously were definitely not comparable to those of an ordinary Genesis Infant expert. This made him deeply suspect that Zhou Yuan's Genesis Infant must have reached an astonishing size.

Tun Tun, perched on Zhou Yuan's head, extended a claw and pointed towards one of the second-stage Law Domain experts, indicating that it could handle that opponent.

"There's still one more second-stage Law Domain expert..." Zhou Yuan looked at Ai Tuanzi and the others. They only had two more Law Domain experts than the opponents, but two first-stage Law Domain experts probably wouldn't be a match for a single second-stage expert.

"Su Youwei, Zhao Mushen, and I can team up to deal with a first-stage Law Domain expert," Wu Yao suddenly announced at this moment.

This statement drew surprised glances from Ai Tuanzi and the other Law Domain experts. After all, Wu Yao and her two companions were only at the Genesis Infant stage. While they might have a record of defeating pseudo-Law Domain experts, pseudo-Law Domain and true Law Domain were two different concepts. So, if the three of them could indeed team up to handle a Law Domain expert, that would be quite extraordinary.

Zhou Yuan, however, did not doubt their strength. He immediately smiled and said, "Then that's about right."

He then looked at Ai Tuanzi and the other two Law Domain experts. "Can the three of you work together to hold off the last second-stage Law Domain expert? We need some time; this is crucial."

Both he and Tun Tun would likely be at their limit dealing with a single second-stage Law Domain expert. If another second-stage expert joined the battle at that point, they would be in serious trouble.

The three Law Domain experts, including Ai Tuanzi, understood the importance of this plan when they saw Zhou Yuan's solemn expression. They exchanged glances and finally nodded gravely.

For three people to confront a second-stage expert carried considerable risk. But if even Zhou Yuan dared to fight alone, what reason did they have to retreat? "Don't worry," one of the Law Domain experts said with a low, resolute voice and expression, "unless all three of us die in battle, we won't let him interfere with you."

Zhou Yuan's lips moved, but in the end, he said nothing more. Anyone who could enter the Stone Dragon Secret Domain should have prepared for the worst. After all, this was a war, and death was the most common occurrence here.

"Have you made your arrangements? How do you want to play this? We've been chasing you for most of the day; you at least owe us some entertainment, right?"

As they finalized their arrangements, Chiliu's mocking voice drifted over from a distance. He stood with his arms crossed, watching Zhou Yuan and the others with interest. He seemed genuinely curious to what extent their opponents, pressured by them, would go to make a desperate move.

Tun Tun leaped into the void, its body rapidly expanding. In just a few breaths, it transformed into a magnificent, mysterious beast covered in golden scales. Its sharp, sword-like teeth gleamed with a cold light, exhaling black mist. Tun Tun had directly locked onto one of the opponent's second-stage Law Domain experts.

"Indeed, a Saint Beast, though it seems to have only recently advanced to the eighth grade." The second-stage Law Domain expert targeted by Tun Tun smiled faintly, then stared at Tun Tun's body with a hint of covetousness. "Such Saint Beasts are rare. If I could capture it, its flesh and blood would be a great tonic!"

"Very well, today I shall teach you, beast, what Saint Beast Stew tastes like." He chuckled, took a step forward, and appeared in the void, facing Tun Tun from a distance.

Ai Tuanzi and the two other Law Domain experts also shot through the air at this moment, locking onto the remaining second-stage Law Domain expert.

"Oh? You intend to fight me with numbers?" That second-stage Law Domain expert chuckled, a cruel smirk slowly forming on his lips.

"Have the people of All-Heavens become this naive?"

At the same time, all personnel from both sides erupted with Genesis Qi, beginning to lock onto their opponents.

Chiliu, meanwhile, noticed that no one seemed to be coming for him. He couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed these guys had decent judgment; by the looks of it, they knew he wasn't an easy target? But did they really think leaving him unchallenged was a good idea?

"Stop that foolish smiling. I am your opponent."

However, just as his smile broadened, a voice, seemingly tinged with helplessness, reached him.

Chiliu froze, his gaze following the voice. He then saw a young figure standing atop the volcano, looking at him with a helpless expression.

This is... a Genesis Infant stage cultivator? Oh, and his Spirit is at the Roaming Spirit stage...

Chiliu was silent for a few breaths, then his face abruptly turned sinister and cruel. He stared at Zhou Yuan, and a voice filled with malevolence rang out chillingly.

"You bastard, are you humiliating me?!"
