Chapter 1327: Saint Candle Magic Domain

The whistle of swords filled the heavens and earth as nine streaks of seven-colored sword light shot skyward. The sharp aura that erupted in that instant seemed capable of cleaving the very firmament.

These seven-colored sword lights were naturally the Seven-Colored Heaven Severing Sword Lights, cultivated by Zhou Yuan!

Previously, however, he had never been able to unleash all nine sword lights simultaneously, making it impossible to wield this Genesis Art to its full potential.

But after two years of secluded cultivation, the Seven-Colored Heaven Severing Sword Lights could finally display their true formidable power.

The nine seven-colored sword lights pierced the air, and as they whistled, they gradually merged, subtly forming a long sword of seven-colored crystal. This crystalline sword, infused with unimaginable speed and sharpness, appeared before Yuan Quan in less than a breath, striking down fiercely.

The sudden, fierce counterattack made Yuan Quan squint his eyes slightly. The sharpness assailing him caused a hint of surprise to appear in his gaze for the first time.

While the might of this Genesis Art was decent, its impenetrable sharpness was truly astonishing.

Yuan Quan's eyes flickered. His golden-armored hands abruptly clasped together, unleashing vast Genesis Qi. The power between his palms was enough to flatten mountains stretching for thousands of miles.

The seven-colored crystalline sword, thrusting forward, was precisely trapped and pressed between his golden-armored hands, like two converging stars.

The two forces clashed wildly. The seven-colored crystalline sword slowly pushed forward, its sharp tip cutting through the void, attempting to break free from Yuan Quan's grip and pierce his body.

Ultimately, however, it had underestimated Yuan Quan's terrifying Genesis Qi reserves.

The stalemate lasted for more than ten breaths. Just as the tip of the seven-colored crystalline sword touched Yuan Quan's golden armor, a faint sword mark appeared. But at the same moment, Yuan Quan, with a cold expression, slammed his palms together, crushing the seven-colored crystalline sword—which had contained all of Zhou Yuan's power—into fragments.

"This Genesis Art is quite good, with some commendable aspects."

"But is this all of your painstakingly planned counterattack? Frankly, I'm a little disappointed." Yuan Quan said with a faint smile, gazing at the crystalline sword that had dissolved into countless seven-colored light points in his palm.

However, just as he finished speaking, the void behind him silently shattered. A streak of seven-colored light suddenly shot out, breaking through space at an astonishing speed, heading straight for Yuan Quan!

It was another seven-colored crystalline sword!

The sudden change was too swift. Yuan Quan had no time to react as the seven-colored crystalline sword, imbued with boundless sharpness, directly struck the golden armor covering his body!

A resounding clang of metal erupted in the void.

The surrounding void was torn apart by the sharp sword qi.

Yuan Quan's expression turned grim. He unleashed a punch, stirring vast Genesis Qi. Under that single blow, the sky seemed to darken, and the seven-colored crystalline sword was instantly shattered.

He turned his head, looking towards a certain spot in the void, where space rippled and a figure emerged.

It was Zhou Yuan.

Yuan Quan then glanced at the Zhou Yuan pinned deep into the ground by the golden halberd, only to see that it had transformed into a silver puppet.

Clearly, Zhou Yuan had used the puppet to distract him, while his true body had escaped, seeking an opportunity for a surprise attack.

Intense killing intent surged in Yuan Quan's eyes, for with the previous strike of the seven-colored crystalline sword, cracks had begun to appear in his golden armor. These cracks rapidly spread, eventually shattering the armor completely into countless shimmering points of light, which was quite dazzling.

"To think you could break my Ten-Thousand Scale Golden Armor Art... I truly underestimated the power of you little mouse," Yuan Quan said, staring at Zhou Yuan's true body.

"Even a cornered rabbit will bite, won't it?" Zhou Yuan said with a smile, seemingly unfazed by the chilling killing intent in Yuan Quan's eyes.

Yet, his heart inevitably sank. His previous ambush was meant to inflict some injury on Yuan Quan, but he had still underestimated his opponent's capabilities. All nine Heaven Severing Sword Lights unleashed together had only managed to break through the golden armor on Yuan Quan's body.

Yuan Quan shook his head and said, "And after the rabbit bites, you should know what happens to it, shouldn't you?"

A smile played on his lips, gradually twisting into a sinister grin.

Yuan Quan clenched his hand, and the golden halberd shot back, grasped firmly by him before he stomped on the air.

Waves of terrifying Genesis Qi erupted. Then, Yuan Quan's indifferent voice suddenly rang out: "Sacred Candle Dharma Domain!"

A greyish-white Dharma Domain, originating from Yuan Quan, suddenly expanded, instantly engulfing the entire area.

Zhou Yuan and Tun Tun were both forced out of the void by the Dharma Domain. A terrifying sense of oppression permeated from within the domain, filling the eyes of both the man and the beast with solemnity.

Within the Dharma Domain, greyish-white light ascended, subtly forming a colossal greyish-white candle in the void. A white flame flickered atop the candle, and as the flame rose, Zhou Yuan's spirit began to ache, clearly sensing immense danger.

The enormous greyish-white candle stood within the Dharma Domain. Wax dripped from it, instantly transforming into a greyish-white ocean.

Zhou Yuan stared gravely at the ocean of wax. In its depths, he vaguely saw many shadows.

"A Spirit Roaming stage spirit, truly quite perceptive," Yuan Quan remarked with a slight smile upon seeing this. He then raised his hand, and the ocean of wax suddenly surged into waves thousands of feet high. Only then did Zhou Yuan and Tun Tun see that beneath the surface, there were numerous human-like and beast-like shadows.

These shadows were covered in thick wax, their eyes hollow.

"This is the power of my Sacred Candle Dharma Domain. Anyone sealed within this domain will become a puppet wax figure, their life and death henceforth controlled by me."

Yuan Quan gazed at the wax figures, his eyes alight with fervor. "These are my spoils of war from all these years. What do you think? Aren't they beautiful?"

His gaze shifted to Zhou Yuan and Tun Tun, the smile on his lips growing even more unsettling.

"And after today, you too will become part of my collection... isn't that something to look forward to?"

Zhou Yuan's expression turned grim. If they truly became wax figures for this guy, it would be a fate worse than death.

Tun Tun let out a low growl, its beast eyes glancing at Zhou Yuan, clearly asking, "What now?"

Zhou Yuan's brows furrowed. Facing such a powerful enemy, even he felt an extreme headache at this moment. Victory in this battle would likely not come easily.

As the man and the beast weighed their chances of victory in this battle, Yuan Quan scoffed, then waved his sleeve.

The next moment, countless wax figures in the ocean of wax suddenly stirred, instantly forming an army that swept out, carrying immense Genesis Qi, and charged towards Zhou Yuan and Tun Tun with a rumble.

The sight was truly spectacular to the extreme.

But to Zhou Yuan and Tun Tun, it sent shivers down their spines.

This Yuan Quan is truly a goddamn impenetrable fortress!
