Chapter 525: Tianshuang Sealing Technique

The vast Genesis Qi that erupted from Baili Che's body was silver, emanating extreme cold and a sharp aura. It was the Profound Frost Genesis Qi of Sword Cometh Peak. The Sword Qi, like frost, was bone-chillingly cold; if it infiltrated one's body, the frost and sharpness would erupt simultaneously, making it extremely troublesome to deal with. The temperature throughout the heavens and earth seemed to drop at this moment.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan stood suspended in the air, his golden Heaven-Piercing Profound Python Qi surging skyward from his crown like a massive golden canopy. Within it, a faint phantom image resembling a golden python roared skyward, exuding an overbearing aura.

Countless gazes converged, staring intently at these two figures.

In recent years, Saint Genesis Peak had become increasingly desolate in the Cangxuan Sect. Even if a chief disciple occasionally appeared in the past, there was still a considerable gap compared to the chief disciples of other peaks. Therefore, previous chief disciples of Saint Genesis Peak always seemed somewhat lacking in spirit before the chief disciples of other peaks. Precisely because of this, Baili Che was extremely displeased with Zhou Yuan's attitude. In his view, the latter should, like the previous chief disciples of Saint Genesis Peak, maintain humility and discretion in front of them.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yuan didn't seem to think so.

Therefore, Baili Che concluded that Zhou Yuan was ungrateful. If that was the case, he would have to use the cruelest reality to make this chief disciple of Saint Genesis Peak understand the true standing of a Saint Genesis Peak chief disciple within the Cangxuan Sect.

A sneer played on Baili Che's lips, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his palms slammed together!

Boom!

A torrent of silver-frost Genesis Qi roared forth, like an avalanche, the deluge surging downwards. A sharp coldness filled the heavens and earth, and the air rapidly froze into ice. The profoundness of that Genesis Qi was indeed several times stronger than Yuan Hong's that day!

Zhou Yuan's expression remained calm. His golden Genesis Qi also roared forth, transforming into a torrent like a golden python roaring, directly colliding fiercely with the silver-frost Genesis Qi. Currently, within his Qi Dwelling, there were over five thousand Genesis Qi stars, making him even stronger than when he defeated Yuan Hong that day. Therefore, he felt little fear facing Baili Che's Genesis Qi offensive.

Two torrents of Genesis Qi, one silver and one gold, shot through the void. The next instant, they fiercely collided, the two waves of Genesis Qi constantly eroding and grinding each other down.

"This guy, he's actually stronger than when he fought Yuan Hong." As the Genesis Qi streams eroded each other, Baili Che also perceived the profoundness of Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi, which made him slightly furrow his brows, and the cold glint in his eyes intensified.

"Frost Burst!" He formed hand seals and suddenly roared.

The instant his voice fell, the torrent of Genesis Qi suddenly exploded, forming a silver halo that spread at an astonishing speed. Where the silver halo spread, it seemed to carry an incredibly sharp aura, even splitting the golden torrent in two, while also whistling towards Zhou Yuan with lightning speed. Baili Che's application of Genesis Qi had clearly reached a considerably profound level.

The silver halo rapidly expanded in Zhou Yuan's pupils. He narrowed his eyes and clenched his hands as the Heavenly Yuan Brush flashed forth, its snowy white brush tip rapidly turning pitch black.

Swish!

The black brush in his hand suddenly slashed down. A black light streaked past, as if tearing a gash in the void itself.

Rip!

As the black brush slashed down, a streak of black light touched the silver halo. When the black light descended, the sharp and piercing silver halo was directly split in two, meeting the same fate as the golden Genesis Qi torrent it had previously split. The two halves of the silver halo shot away, finally dissolving into countless specks of light.

Having cut the silver halo, Zhou Yuan's figure rapidly blurred as he employed the Void Transformation Art. His form flickered forth like a black shadow, appearing directly above Baili Che. The Heavenly Yuan Brush whistled, transforming into countless sharp brush shadows that overwhelmingly enveloped Baili Che's vital points. With the Heavenly Yuan Brush activated with "Genesis Breaking," every brush shadow was incomparably sharp. Moreover, the Heavenly Yuan Brush was now a genuine Heavenly Origin Weapon.

Seeing Zhou Yuan's attack, Baili Che's gaze also slightly deepened. Although he always verbally looked down on Zhou Yuan, being able to become the chief disciple of Sword Cometh Peak indicated that he was not an arrogant fool. Therefore, he had conducted clear investigations into Zhou Yuan's various methods and naturally understood that the Heavenly Yuan Brush in Zhou Yuan's hand seemed to have a miraculous effect in countering Genesis Qi. Facing Zhou Yuan's Heavenly Yuan Brush, if one attempted to use pure Genesis Qi as an attack method, the effectiveness would certainly be greatly reduced.

The dark brush shadows, carrying incomparably sharp Genesis Qi winds, whistled downwards. However, just as they approached within a dozen feet of Baili Che, a heaven-shaking sword hum suddenly resonated. Sword light flashed, and cold air condensed the void. Sword shadows shot out like a torrential downpour, precisely colliding head-on with every single brush shadow. Crisp clanging sounds of metal resonated ceaselessly, and in just a dozen breaths, they had exchanged no less than several hundred blows. With each collision, astonishing Genesis Qi fluctuations erupted and raged, shaking the void.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Under countless astonished gazes, brush shadows and sword shadows collided overwhelmingly until the sky-filling sword and brush shadows simultaneously dissipated, and the two figures retreated at first contact.

Zhou Yuan stabilized his figure, the Heavenly Yuan Brush held diagonally in his hand. Golden Genesis Qi surged around him like flowing gold. At this moment, his gaze was slightly narrowed as he looked forward. He saw Baili Che wearing a cold sneer, a long sword in his hand. The sword was covered in scales of varying colors that wrapped around the blade, making it appear somewhat strange. The long sword vibrated slightly, continuously absorbing the Genesis Qi between heaven and earth, its blade pulsing with heart-palpitating sword light.

"Is that... Sword Cometh Peak's Nine Scales Sword?!" In the distant sky, some exclamations of surprise rang out, clearly recognizing the scaled sword.

"The Nine Scales Sword..." Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes. This sword had a considerable reputation in Sword Cometh Peak. It was also a low-grade Heavenly Origin Weapon, and its quality was considered top-tier even among low-grade ones. With such a divine weapon, no wonder Baili Che wasn't afraid of his Heavenly Yuan Brush at all.

"If you want to flaunt your power with just one Heavenly Origin Weapon, I'm afraid you're underestimating the heritage of my Sword Cometh Peak," Baili Che said indifferently, the Nine Scales Sword in his hand humming softly.

Zhou Yuan said calmly, "Chief Baili said he wanted to teach me a lesson, but judging from the current situation, it seems a bit insufficient... Also, I must remind Chief Baili, the longer you are held up here by me, the more disciples of Sword Cometh Peak will likely be eliminated."

"Since you're so eager to be defeated, I shall fulfill your wish." A chilling arc appeared at the corner of Baili Che's mouth. He stared at Zhou Yuan and said, "Do you really think I was just warming up with you earlier?"

He suddenly stomped the Nine Scales Sword in his hand, and immediately, ripples of fluctuations spread out. Where the ripples passed, silver lines appeared faintly in the void. These lines, laid down at some unknown time, intertwined with each other, imperceptibly filling this entire space. The silver lines were densely packed; upon closer inspection, they faintly resembled a silver orb. Both Zhou Yuan's and Baili Che's figures were surprisingly within this silver orb. The faintly visible silver orb faintly emanated a heart-palpitating fluctuation.

Baili Che stared mockingly at Zhou Yuan and said, "Chief Zhou Yuan, do you know this art? This is my Sword Cometh Peak's unique Genesis Art, the Heavenly Frost Sealing Art... Once this art takes effect on the body, the Genesis Qi within will be congealed and sealed, making it extremely difficult to dissolve." Baili Che said with a chuckle, "And once your Genesis Qi is sealed, what will you use to fight me?"

As his voice fell, his figure suddenly retreated rapidly. The silver lines parted to create a path just wide enough for him to pass through, then swiftly rejoined.

Baili Che looked at Zhou Yuan, who was trapped within the orb of light, a cold sneer on his face, and pointed a finger in the air. The next instant, the silver orb began to rapidly contract!

Heavenly Frost Sealing Art, activate!

This chief disciple of Sword Cometh Peak finally began to reveal his true ferocity at this moment. Throughout the heavens and earth, countless anxious gazes were also cast at this moment.
