Chapter 194: Red Dragon Breath

A violent dragon's roar seemed to echo from within Wu Huang's body. As the roar resounded, the coiled dragon shadow on Wu Huang's skin vibrated slightly before merging into his flesh and blood. Instantly, Wu Huang's body began to swell.

Dragon scales appeared on his skin, and his hands showed signs of draconic transformation, with sharp, gleaming claws that sent shivers down one's spine. But most terrifying of all, the Genesis Qi surging from within Wu Huang was steadily escalating. The surrounding ground fractured inch by inch under the immense pressure of his Genesis Qi.

Inside and outside the Sacred Remains City, countless eyes watched Wu Huang, who had once again become terrifying, and for a moment, they were speechless. No one had expected Wu Huang to be so formidable; even after such a brutal battle, he still had such an astonishing trump card hidden away!

“He is truly unfathomable…”“Wu Huang is likely the strongest among the younger generation in the Boundless Continent.”Everyone shook their heads, able to offer only this assessment.

Mu Wuji looked on, letting out a bitter laugh. Who could have imagined that a battle between two youngsters could be so brutal? However, facing Wu Huang's endless array of techniques, even he had to admit that the young man was indeed a prodigy.

“For Zhou Yuan to reach this point is already quite impressive,” Mu Wuji murmured to himself.

Zhao Pan also let out a sigh of relief. His eyes gleaming, he stared at Wu Huang's figure and muttered, “This Wu Huang is indeed a promising talent. No wonder even the Palace Master said he has a heavenly mandate and must be brought into the Sacred Palace.”

“Surely, the outcome is decided this time, isn't it?” Zhao Pan spoke, though even he didn't realize his tone lacked the certainty it had at the beginning. Clearly, Zhou Yuan had unnerved him, making him fear another sudden twist that would make the situation tumultuous again.

Zhou Yuan frowned deeply, watching Wu Huang, whose body had swollen and whose skin was covered in dragon scales. At this moment, Wu Huang exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

Wu Huang raised his head and grinned menacingly at Zhou Yuan. He stomped his foot, the ground cracked, and his figure shot forward.

“So fast!” Zhou Yuan's pupils constricted, and ancient sacred runes appeared in his eyes, allowing him to clearly see Wu Huang's figure. However, his body couldn't react in time.

“Great Turtle Shell Rune!” Zhou Yuan roared, and a turtle-shell-like pattern of light appeared before him. However, the pattern had barely appeared when Wu Huang shattered it with a punch. The fierce force of the blow slammed heavily into Zhou Yuan's arms, which were covered in Black Python Scales. Zhou Yuan's body reeled, and he was sent flying backward. Many of the Black Python Scales on his arms were shattered, leaving them covered in blood.

Wu Huang gave Zhou Yuan no chance to breathe, unleashing an onslaught like a torrential downpour. The ancient sacred runes in Zhou Yuan's eyes continuously rotated, allowing him to see the flaws in Wu Huang's attacks. But this time, he found that when he struck at these flaws, he simply couldn't penetrate them. As a result, he couldn't achieve the same effect as before.

“Damn it, his Genesis Qi has grown stronger. My attacks can no longer shake him, and I can't even penetrate his weaknesses,” Zhou Yuan's expression darkened. He could see the flaws, but he couldn't break through them.

Thump, thump! The two figures continuously clashed on the white jade plaza. But this time, the situation was reversed again. Wu Huang laughed maniacally, his attacks like a storm. Zhou Yuan, meanwhile, was forced to retreat repeatedly. Wu Huang's attacks occasionally pierced his defenses, striking his body and causing blood to trickle from the corner of Zhou Yuan's mouth.

“Haha, Zhou Yuan, weren't you quite pleased with yourself earlier?!”“You are indeed formidable, to be able to force out my final technique!”“However, since you've pushed me this far, you'll have to pay the price.”“And that price is your life!”

Wu Huang's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was distorted with a savage grin. His attacks grew even more ruthless, his Genesis Qi shaking the void. His fist shadows hammered down, sending Zhou Yuan stumbling backward repeatedly. Genesis Qi exploded. Zhou Yuan's feet scraped along the ground as he was sent hundreds of steps backward. The blood at the corner of his mouth became even more pronounced, and every part of his body radiated intense pain.

“Truly tenacious,” Wu Huang sneered, looking down at Zhou Yuan. “I wonder if you'll still be standing when I break every bone in your body?”

His hands slowly came together. Suddenly, he took a deep breath, and violent Genesis Qi surged in through his nostrils, his chest expanding as an astonishing Genesis Qi fluctuation rapidly converged. The ground beneath Wu Huang's feet couldn't withstand the pressure and began to crack.

Wu Huang stared indifferently at Zhou Yuan. The next moment, his chest contracted, and he suddenly opened his mouth. A dragon's roar bellowed forth: “Red Dragon Breath!” Crimson Genesis Qi, like a dragon's breath, erupted with incredible heat, instantly melting the ground. Such an attack would instantly kill anyone below the third layer of the Alpha Origin stage!

Zhou Yuan's expression couldn't help but change slightly. Immediately, ancient sacred runes flickered in his eyes, and faint points of light appeared within the roaring crimson dragon breath Genesis Qi. Those were the flaws. Even seeing them, Zhou Yuan still couldn't penetrate the flaws, meaning he couldn't disrupt the attack.

“My power isn't enough…” Zhou Yuan pursed his lips, his eyes deep.

“Zhou Yuan is finished this time!” Inside and outside the Sacred Remains City, everyone watching this scene sighed with regret. This tumultuous battle was finally coming to an end.

Mu Wuji's face was grim, his hands clenched. He murmured, “That foolish boy, just surrender! Saving your life is what matters!” However, Zhou Yuan couldn't hear him, and even if he could, he likely wouldn't have chosen to surrender.

Zhou Yuan's body crouched slightly. The next instant, the floor beneath his feet shattered, and his figure shot forward, directly towards the crimson dragon breath Genesis Qi.

“Hiss!” Seeing Zhou Yuan's action, countless people gasped, muttering to themselves, “This Zhou Yuan... he's truly insane…”

“Reckless!” Mu Wuji couldn't help but exclaim angrily. At this moment, Wu Huang was simply not someone Zhou Yuan could defeat! This attack was even more ferocious than the previous Heaven Genesis Art!

Wu Huang watched Zhou Yuan rushing towards him, the cold smile on his lips growing even more chilling. “Come on, come on. To die by the Sacred Dragon Qi that originally belonged to you—that's the best outcome for you.”

Under the gaze of countless eyes, within just a few breaths, Zhou Yuan appeared directly in front of the dragon breath Genesis Qi. The intense heat caused his skin to tingle with pain. Zhou Yuan looked up slightly. Through the crimson Genesis Qi, he could see Wu Huang's savage eyes and cold face behind it.

“Wu Huang…” He lightly clenched his hand, and a silver sphere suddenly appeared in his grasp. The moment it appeared, the silver sphere transformed into a liquid, rapidly spreading across Zhou Yuan's palm. The instant the silver light blossomed, Zhou Yuan's figure, in full view of everyone, collided heavily with the Genesis Qi dragon breath.

“This battle, it's time for it to end…” In the very instant of impact, a faint whisper, seemingly Zhou Yuan's, quietly resounded.
