Chapter 1382: Law Domain

"Saint Dragon, Genesis Domain!"

The moment Zhou Yuan's calm voice echoed, a Genesis Domain, radiating mysterious and majestic fluctuations, suddenly emerged from him and swept across the surrounding void.

Upon seeing the encroaching Genesis Domain, Pang Yang's expression drastically changed. He blurted out, "You've actually established a Genesis Domain?!"

When Zhou Yuan was expelled from Cangxuan Heaven back then, he was merely at the Divine Dwelling stage. In Pang Yang's eyes, he was nothing more than an ant. Had it not been for the power left behind by Ancestor Cangxuan, that ant, no matter how much it struggled, could not have caused even the slightest loss to their Sacred Palace. Therefore, Pang Yang had not paid much attention to Zhou Yuan, who was rising to prominence in Cangxuan Heaven at that time.

However, over the years, information about Zhou Yuan occasionally filtered back to Cangxuan Heaven from the All-Heavens. The Sacred Palace, with its resources, naturally gathered some of this intelligence. These reports caused quite a stir within the Sacred Palace, as no one expected that the "stray dog" they once dismissed could actually thrive and achieve great things in the All-Heavens.

Especially when the results of the Battle of Guyuan Heaven arrived, some high-ranking members of the Sacred Palace had no choice but to start taking Zhou Yuan seriously.

One of Pang Yang's objectives in leading his army to the Vast Continent this time was to capture Zhou Qing and Qin Yu alive, perhaps to use them to coerce Zhou Yuan in the future.

However, what Pang Yang didn't expect was that Zhou Yuan would return so quickly, and more astonishingly... he had also established a Genesis Domain!

This news churned Pang Yang's stomach and filled him with intense jealousy. He had paid an immense price to establish his own Genesis Domain, yet now, this ant he had once completely disregarded could stand on equal footing with him?!

"Brat, when I reigned supreme in Cangxuan Heaven, you probably weren't even born yet. Do you really think you can defeat me?!" Pang Yang sneered furiously. Although Zhou Yuan had established a Genesis Domain, his cultivation period was short. Even with extraordinary talent and potential, he must only be a novice in the Genesis Domain. In terms of strength, they shouldn't be too far apart. For Zhou Yuan to think he could easily defeat him was simply wishful thinking!

Therefore, Pang Yang had no intention of retreating. He refused to back down before someone he had once considered an ant.

"Golden Star Genesis Domain!"

With a step into the air, Pang Yang let out a long roar as his golden Genesis Domain suddenly expanded. Within it, a golden star hung in the sky, radiating billions of golden lights, illuminating a vast expanse of the heavens.

"Zhou Yuan, though I don't know what methods you used to establish your Genesis Domain, you're still too green to clash head-on with me!" As his Genesis Domain enveloped the area, Pang Yang felt an surge of boundless confidence and laughed uproariously towards the sky.

On the city wall, Zhou Qing and the others gazed at the golden Genesis Domain, feeling the terrifying power surging within it. Even a trace of that power could effortlessly wipe them out.

This was the might of a Genesis Domain expert!

Zhou Yuan, observing Pang Yang's decision to confront him directly, paused slightly, then chuckled softly, "It seems Cangxuan Heaven is indeed a bit isolated."

Judging by Pang Yang's actions, he clearly had no knowledge of the outcome of the Battle of the Stone Dragon Secret Realm. After all, in that battle, even the strongest Genesis Domain expert of the Sacred Race had fallen to Zhou Yuan. The current Pang Yang, merely in the first stage of the Genesis Domain, established through external means, frankly didn't even qualify for Zhou Yuan's serious attention. Yet, he still chose to clash head-on, perfectly embodying the futility of a chicken smashing its head against a rock.

"What do you mean?!" Pang Yang asked chillingly.

Zhou Yuan shook his head, too lazy to waste words with him. With an indifferent gaze, he extended his palm and grasped at the void.

The boundless void shattered. In the next instant, a colossal purple-gold dragon claw tore through space, descending with a single strike towards Pang Yang's Genesis Domain.

As the purple-gold dragon claw descended, Pang Yang's face suddenly contorted in fear. At that very moment, a sense of impending doom welled up within him, causing his divine soul in his glabella to vibrate intensely.

Before he could react further, the purple-gold dragon claw slammed onto the golden Genesis Domain. The latter held on for only an instant, proving as fragile as paper, and was directly torn apart by the purple-gold dragon claw.

The purple-gold dragon claw reached into the golden Genesis Domain, seizing the suspended golden star that emitted billions of dazzling golden lights. This golden star was the core of Pang Yang's Genesis Domain.

"I even killed the strongest Genesis Domain expert of the Sacred Race. How much courage do you possess to dare unleash your Genesis Domain before me?" Zhou Yuan's calm voice resounded.

Pang Yang was utterly terrified, boundless fear rising in his eyes. Only through direct contact could he truly comprehend the immense and terrifying power of Zhou Yuan.

"You, you're at the third stage of Genesis Domain?! How is that possible!" Pang Yang shrieked in horror. Moreover, even encountering a third-stage Genesis Domain expert shouldn't result in his domain being broken so easily, right?!

How had this Zhou Yuan become such a monster in just over a decade?!

He could feel the formidable power contained within the dragon claw clutching his golden star. With a pale face, he immediately shrieked, "Stop! I surrender!"

That golden star was the core of his Genesis Domain. If it were truly shattered, his Genesis Domain, which he had established at immense cost, would also collapse!

The consequences were too severe for him to bear!

At this moment, Pang Yang finally felt a pang of regret. He should not have accepted this mission. Who could have imagined that a small Great Zhou Dynasty would have such a terrifying protector?

However, facing his pleas for mercy, Zhou Yuan remained expressionless, a cold glint in his eyes. This man had intended to slaughter Great Zhou City earlier; there was no way he would let him off easily.

With a thought, the purple-gold dragon claw clenched shut.

Boom! Boom!

Like a star exploding, countless golden rays scattered, resembling a golden sun erupting in the void.

The golden Genesis Domain rapidly fractured.

In just a few short breaths, the golden Genesis Domain completely dissipated.

Pfft!

With his Genesis Domain shattered, Pang Yang spat out a mouthful of blood. His Genesis Qi rapidly withered, his face aged, and an aura of death emanated from his body.

"Escape quickly!" he shrieked, his eyes filled with terror.

As his voice fell, he immediately turned, burning his vital essence, and attempted to flee through the void.

But the moment his figure moved, a colossal purple-gold dragon indifferently looked down from the sky. In the next instant, a stream of purple-gold dragon breath pierced through the void, directly striking Pang Yang's body.

In a mere breath, the void shattered like glass, and Pang Yang's body was utterly vaporized, leaving not a trace.

In the sky, the Sacred Demon Army trembled as they witnessed this scene. They had just seen a Genesis Domain expert fall before their very eyes. This sight instilled boundless fear even in them, who had become ruthless after being baptized by the Divine Blood Altar.

In the next moment, the Sacred Demon Army scattered and fled.

On the city wall, everyone, including Shen Taiyuan, was left in stunned silence. From the moment Zhou Yuan attacked to the end, only a few moments had passed. Yet, in that brief time, a genuine Genesis Domain expert had fallen right before them...

That was a Genesis Domain expert!

Even in Cangxuan Heaven, such an individual was considered a colossal figure, regarded by any force as their paramount combat power.

Yet now, Pang Yang had been effortlessly annihilated, with virtually no ability to resist...

Was such power even possible for a human?

Dazed gazes fixed on Zhou Yuan, who slowly retracted his hand. Everyone could sense that he was incredibly powerful now, but they didn't comprehend the true extent of this power until... a Genesis Domain expert fell before their eyes.

The deathly silence on the city wall lasted for a moment before erupting into countless cheers.

"His Highness is invincible!"

Inside the city, countless citizens of Great Zhou had also been closely watching the battle outside. They had seen Zhou Yuan appear earlier, knowing only that a powerful expert had come to their aid, but not who it was.

When they saw Pang Yang slain on the spot, they were also stunned.

Immediately after, they heard the cheers from the city wall.

"What? His Highness?!"

"Could it be that the one who came to our rescue is actually His Highness Zhou Yuan of Great Zhou?!"

"Has His Highness returned?!"

"We're saved!"

"His Highness is invincible!"

As countless voices surged within the city, the citizens of Great Zhou, who had narrowly escaped death, all cheered with excited faces.

The shift from previous despair and fear to this sudden hope made them uncontrollably ecstatic.

Shen Taiyuan, hearing the overwhelming cheers, gradually recovered his senses. He then looked at the figure before him with a somewhat complex gaze.

Who would have thought that the young man who was forced to leave Cangxuan Heaven all those years ago... would return possessing the power to change the entire landscape of Cangxuan Heaven?

However, a sense of pride and relief slowly grew within Shen Taiyuan.

This young man, destined to bring immense shock to all of Cangxuan Heaven, originated from their Saint Origin Peak...
