Chapter 1413: Directly Facing the Saint

As Saint Yuan Palace Master’s immense killing intent spread, the world instantly became a scene of lightning and thunder. Everyone could feel that all the Genesis Qi in the world seemed to drain away from them at that very moment.

They lost the ability to manipulate the Genesis Qi of heaven and earth.

Indeed, before a Saint, he was the master of this realm; what he commanded became law, and all the Genesis Qi in the world moved according to his will.

Now that he had displayed his killing intent, others naturally could no longer borrow the Genesis Qi of heaven and earth.

The disconnection from external Genesis Qi severely impacted those at the Divine Dwelling stage. However, Law Domain experts had already established their own Law Domains, which contained vast Genesis Qi. Even if they couldn't draw on external Genesis Qi, they could still unleash their combat power.

Of course, their endurance would naturally be weakened.

At this moment, the entire Heavenly Abyss Alliance army was in utter chaos. Their faces filled with terror as they retreated in droves, their gazes fixed on Saint Yuan as if he were a world-destroying demon king.

The Saint Yuan Palace Master, having now advanced to the Saint stage, was undoubtedly the most terrifying being in this realm.

Compared to before, he was beyond comparison.

Fortunately, Saint Yuan Palace Master paid no attention to these minor figures. His playful gaze locked onto Zhou Yuan, Sect Master Qing Yang, Chi Jing, and other top Law Domain experts.

“Zhou Yuan, it seems I have the upper hand in today’s struggle.”

Zhou Yuan frowned slightly. It was clear that even he felt immense apprehension when facing the Saint Yuan Palace Master, who had now entered the Saint stage.

“Zhou Yuan, I could chase you like a stray dog back then, and I still can now.”

Saint Yuan Palace Master smiled. The look in his eyes when he regarded Zhou Yuan lacked the caution he previously showed; after entering the Saint stage, he was no longer worried about Zhou Yuan.

“All of you, prepare to die.”

After indulging in his current satisfaction and triumph, Saint Yuan Palace Master raised his hand, two fingers pressed together. The next moment, a great sun seemed to ignite from his fingertip.

That great sun was so blinding that it even eclipsed the actual sun in the sky.

Countless people stared in horror at the brilliant, scorching sun that filled their vision. In their eyes, it symbolized destruction and catastrophe.

Sect Master Qing Yang and the others were even more horrified, for they could clearly sense how terrifying that brilliant sun was, containing an extremely profound Saint power.

Such power was beyond what their Law Domains could contend with.

The brilliant sun shot forth explosively the next instant. At this moment, the world fell silent. The great sun shattered the void and appeared directly above Zhou Yuan, Sect Master Qing Yang, Chi Jing, and the other top experts of the Heavenly Abyss Alliance.

The brilliant sun had yet to descend, yet mere waves of its power spread out. Sect Master Qing Yang and the others instantly felt as if they were suffering an immense pressure. The layers of Genesis Qi protection around their bodies shattered in an instant, and then they gushed blood on the spot, seemingly losing all power to resist. They could only watch as the great sun bore down on them.

However, just as that great sun, imbued with Saint power, was about to descend and suppress them, an earth-shattering, ancient dragon’s roar suddenly resounded.

Zhou Yuan’s clothes were torn to shreds, and purple-gold dragon scales shimmered on his body. His face twisted into a grimace as he took a step forward, single-handedly withstanding the full might of the brilliant sun.

Under such pressure, his Sacred Dragon Physique began to crack with bloody fissures, and his dragon scales shattered one after another, revealing the immense power of that sun.

“Zhou Yuan, get out of the way!” Sect Master Qing Yang spurted a mouthful of blood and shouted with all his might.

“A praying mantis trying to stop a chariot. Courting death,” Saint Yuan Palace Master chuckled softly, then pressed his palm down.

On the great sun, flames seemed to rise—it was Saint Fire.

Zhou Yuan’s purple-gold dragon scales rapidly melted away. His Sacred Dragon Physique, which even Saint Yuan had previously marveled at, now appeared incredibly fragile.

Zhou Yuan at this moment looked utterly wretched. His flesh and blood were exposed, as if even his skin had been burned away.

Yet, he did not retreat a single step, for he knew that if he were to retreat now, Sect Master Qing Yang, Chi Jing, Su Youwei, and the others behind him would likely face annihilation.

The power of a Saint was beyond what they could bear.

In the courtyard in Heaven City, Yao Yao’s beautiful eyes stared at Zhou Yuan, who was burned beyond recognition. A terrifying chill slowly emanated from her body. Her delicate hand, which had been gently stroking Tun Tun’s fur, suddenly clenched tightly. This caused Tun Tun to shiver, and it miserably dared not move.

Yao Yao rose from the swing, seemingly intending to do something, but an elderly figure swiftly appeared before her and hastily said, “Yao Yao, don’t be impulsive. Zhou Yuan may not need your help!”

The person who appeared was none other than Cang Yuan.

Ancient Sovereign Jin Luo was currently entangled by the Saint Race’s ancient Saints, leaving Cang Yuan alone here to watch Yao Yao closely, to prevent her from acting rashly.

Yao Yao’s clear, ethereal eyes glanced at Cang Yuan, but the chill emanating from her did not lessen.

Seeing this, Cang Yuan could only soften his tone and comfort her, “Yao Yao, you must believe in Zhou Yuan. His potential is not weaker than anyone else’s. Saint Yuan has, after all, only recently entered the Saint stage, and his mastery over Saint power is not profound. This confrontation is also an excellent tempering for Zhou Yuan.”

“Zhou Yuan will surely be able to handle it!”

Yao Yao fell silent. However, the terrifying chill emanating from her body gradually receded, and she then held Tun Tun and sat back down.

Cang Yuan secretly sighed in relief. The current Yao Yao was not easily swayed by words, but thankfully, when it concerned Zhou Yuan, she could still maintain some composure.

At present, all-heavens and the Saint Race were on edge, watching this conflict in the Cangxuan Heaven. If Yao Yao were to intervene now, he feared it might cause some unforeseen change.

Cang Yuan’s gaze shifted to the light mirror in the void before him, which reflected Zhou Yuan’s tragic state.

He knew that Zhou Yuan’s situation was extremely grim. After all, regardless, Saint Yuan had truly entered the Saint stage, which was a world of difference from his previous semi-Saint status. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to suppress Zhou Yuan, who was previously difficult to determine a victor against, so miserably with a single attack.

But now, no one could offer help. Everything depended solely on Zhou Yuan himself.

“Zhou Yuan, the eyes of all-heavens are on you. I believe in you, you will surely create another miracle!” Cang Yuan murmured silently in his heart.

“Zhou Yuan, your miracle ends here.”

Saint Yuan Palace Master smiled faintly and pressed his palm down. The great sun, overflowing with Saint power, crashed down, intent on utterly destroying Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan, covered in blood and gore, gazed at the descending great sun and roared out once more. The next moment, his Saint Genesis Art, which he had been preparing for half a day, was finally unleashed.

“Ancestral Dragon, Heaven-Shifting Art!”

A low roar exploded within his mind. On Zhou Yuan’s bloodied body, mottled patterns appeared. These patterns emitted a special power that was unaffected by the suppression of Saint power.

The mottled patterns finally converged onto Zhou Yuan’s arms. An ancient power surged forth, and then Zhou Yuan, his face twisted in a fierce grimace, swung both fists and fiercely punched towards the descending great sun.

The instant of impact, a boundless storm erupted, seeming to sweep across the entire Shengzhou Continent.

And the blinding radiance that burst forth caused the light in half of Cangxuan Heaven to suddenly brighten.

Countless people were stunned. Even many Saint experts outside the All-Heavens were slightly moved. They were shocked that Zhou Yuan actually dared to confront Saint power.

This young man was truly unbridled.

But with such immense power, could he truly withstand it?

Inside and outside Cangxuan Heaven, countless gazes were fixed on the brilliant, sweeping waves of light at that moment.
