Chapter 316: Two Women Battle Twin Saints

On the shimmering surface of the sea, four figures stood in confrontation.

Kong Sheng glanced at the seabed and then withdrew his gaze. The dozens of disciples from Sword Cometh Peak would make that Genesis Stage, second-layer disciple understand what it meant to overestimate himself. His gaze turned towards Li Qingchan in front of him, and his eyes gradually sharpened, a cold glint appearing within them.

Li Qingchan's interference made the Dragon Marrow Crystal, which was almost within his grasp, uncertain once more. This turn of events secretly annoyed Kong Sheng, despite his usual composure.

Kong Sheng slowly clenched his slender hand. Black Genesis Qi gathered in his palm and gradually transformed into a black longsword. The longsword appeared somewhat sinister, as if forged from black bones. Faint, sharp whistling sounds emanated from its blade, causing the Genesis Qi within people's bodies to stir restlessly.

This was the Black Demon Sword, a genuine low-grade Heavenly Genesis Weapon. It was forged from the bones of a sixth-grade Genesis Beast, the Black Demon Crocodile, and its power was unfathomable. Kong Sheng's own strength had long since reached the ninth layer of the Genesis Stage; he was only a step away from the Divine Dwelling Stage. Now, with a Heavenly Genesis Weapon in hand, the aura he exuded immediately caused the previously calm sea surface to erupt with towering waves. Black Genesis Qi surged skyward like a sword aura, its momentum terrifying.

"It's been a while since I last sparred with Junior Sister Qingchan," Kong Sheng said indifferently. "I'm very curious to know if your 'Mystic Lotus Qi' has become more profound."

Li Qingchan saw Kong Sheng's setup and knew he was angry and intended to fight seriously. However, she was not afraid. She clasped her delicate hands together, and white Genesis Qi surged out, ultimately transforming into a cold jade lotus beneath her feet. That cold jade lotus, called the "Mystic Jade Lotus," was also a low-grade Heavenly Genesis Weapon. Li Qingchan lightly stamped her delicate foot. The "Mystic Jade Lotus" trembled, and dozens of petals detached, spiraling around Li Qingchan like icy jade blades. As each jade-colored light blade traversed, it left no shadow. One could only see continuous streaks appearing in the space, and the sheer sharpness was hair-raising.

With two Saint Sons making their move, no one dared to be careless. Their gazes clashed, and cold energy surged. In the next instant, their two figures shot out, and their powerful Genesis Qi instantly tore apart the sea surface within a radius of ten thousand feet.

Unlike the earth-shattering clash between Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan, the situation between Yaoyao and Ye Ge was quite calm. Neither of them specialized in Genesis Qi; however, their Divine Souls vibrated between their brows, and the Divine Soul power emanating from them possessed a different kind of breathtaking sensation.

Ye Ge held a black and white Genesis Rune brush. He looked at Yaoyao, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face, and flicked his wrist, the brush tip streaking like lightning across the void in front of him.

"Fourth-grade Genesis Rune, Flame Dragon Wheel!"

The moment his Genesis Rune brush descended, a complex Genesis Rune appeared. Immediately, the Genesis Qi of heaven and earth surged over, the temperature soared, and a fiery light wheel, approximately ten to fifteen feet in size, formed directly in the center of the rune. Upon that light wheel, a flame dragon coiled, emitting roars. The seawater beneath its feet began to boil at that very moment.

"Go!"

Ye Ge flicked his sleeve elegantly. The light wheel, with the flame dragon coiled upon it, shot out, directly tearing through the sea surface below, and sped towards Yaoyao with astonishing speed. As soon as Ye Ge made his move, he revealed astonishing Genesis Rune mastery. A fourth-grade Genesis Rune was outlined and condensed in mere tens of breaths; such skill was indeed worthy of a Saint Son of Spirit Rune Peak.

However, just as the Flame Dragon Wheel rapidly approached, reaching a few dozen feet in front of Yaoyao, the sea surface suddenly tore open. A massive water dragon burst out of the water, and with a roar, it swallowed the flame wheel in one gulp.

"Fourth-grade Genesis Rune, Water Dragon Devour!" Yaoyao lightly tapped her jade-green Genesis Rune brush, and a faint voice emerged.

*Splash!*

The sea surface where Ye Ge stood suddenly broke open at this moment. Four water dragons roared out, sweeping in from all directions, opening their massive mouths and fiercely attempting to devour Ye Ge.

"She actually... outlined four Genesis Runes instantly."

Ye Ge's pupils contracted slightly. A normal Water Dragon Devour could only condense one water dragon, but now there were four. This meant that in the previous instant, Yaoyao had directly inscribed four fourth-grade Genesis Runes in the seawater. What level of precise control over one's Divine Soul did this require?

"This Zhou Xiaoyao is truly not simple."

Ye Ge's expression became solemn. Immediately, bright light emanated from the wide daoist robe he wore, and complex patterns slowly emerged on it. Ultimately, it seemed to form a massive golden bell, enveloping him. The water dragons roared down and collided with the massive bell. Immediately, the ringing of the bell resounded through heaven and earth, and violent sound waves stirred up towering torrents on the sea surface.

While the battle on the sea surface stirred up colossal waves, the depths of the Genesis Pool remained relatively calm.

Zhou Yuan swiftly darted through the water, heading straight for the location where the thousand-foot water beast was trapped in the depths of the Genesis Pool. However, after ten or so breaths, his figure suddenly stopped. He frowned slightly as he looked ahead, where the seawater was torn open, and dozens of figures, riding fierce sword qi, rushed in. These were precisely the disciples from Sword Cometh Peak summoned by Kong Sheng.

Most of these disciples were purple-sash disciples of Sword Cometh Peak. Their strength was exceptionally formidable, no less than that of Zhou Tai and Zhang Yan from their Saint Genesis Peak. Therefore, when they saw Zhou Yuan, their eyes glinted with the playful mockery of a cat toying with a mouse.

"You kid, you really don't know your place. Is Brother Kong Sheng's business something a Genesis Stage, second-layer like you is qualified to interfere with?" One of the disciples stared coldly at Zhou Yuan, a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth. "Get lost quickly, lest you bring trouble upon yourself." The other Sword Cometh Peak disciples also burst into laughter.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but smile. He then nudged Tuntun on his shoulder and said, "It's up to you." The opponents were numerous and powerful, their strength indeed formidable. If he relied solely on himself, it would be quite unlikely to get past them.

Tuntun also knew time was short. It didn't dawdle; it directly transformed into a streak of light and shot out. In the next instant, it suddenly expanded, taking on its ferocious and majestic combat form. Violent Genesis Qi fluctuations swept out like a storm.

The expressions of the Sword Cometh Peak disciples instantly changed drastically, horror flashing in their eyes. They cried out sharply, "This beast is powerful, attack together!" They also sensed the oppressive feeling emanating from Tuntun's body. It was clearly not an ordinary Genesis Beast.

*Swish! Swish!*

Streaks of sharp sword qi suddenly erupted from the bodies of the many Sword Cometh Peak disciples, overwhelming Tuntun.

*Clang! Clang! Clang!*

However, those sword qi, upon striking Tuntun's body, were completely repelled by its dark-gold scales. In the next instant, Tuntun roared out, directly charging into the crowd, and the scene immediately became utterly chaotic. The Sword Cometh Peak disciples who had been arrogant moments before were now all fleeing in disarray.

Zhou Yuan watched the chaotic scene with a faint smile. Without lingering, he moved swiftly downwards, finally arriving at the location where the thousand-foot water beast was trapped.

"Is this a thousand-foot water beast?" Zhou Yuan stared at the colossal beast trapped within the Genesis Rune barrier. He couldn't help but click his tongue in awe. Even though the latter was heavily wounded at this moment, the oppressive aura it exuded was still extremely potent. It was far beyond any water beast Zhou Yuan had encountered before.

"If I can obtain the Dragon Marrow Crystal from its body, this trip to the Genesis Pool will be complete." Zhou Yuan licked his lips, a strong fervor flashing in his eyes.

However, he immediately frowned, finding himself in a predicament. The thousand-foot water beast was right before him... But now Tuntun was also entangled. With his strength alone, could he kill this thousand-foot water beast?
