Chapter 532: The Sword Coming Peak at the End of the Road

The rain lashed down! In the sky, a torrential downpour raged. A closer look would reveal that every single raindrop was formed from Genesis Runes, each containing terrifying power. Should they fall like this, even a mountain range would be flattened.

Humming! Amidst the downpour, Kong Sheng's expression turned slightly grave. The longsword in his hand danced, transforming into countless sword shadows that completely enveloped him. Each time a sword shadow swept past, the raindrops were forcefully cut apart, unable to get close.

These raindrops were not only formed from Genesis Runes but also contained spirit energy. If they landed on someone, they would undoubtedly attack their spirit, which was why even Kong Sheng dared not resist them with his physical body.

However, relying on the "Genesis-Breaking Blood Art" imbued in his longsword, he was not afraid even though he was currently within the Genesis Rune barrier set up by Yao Yao. He could easily break through any Genesis Rune.

The sword shadows continued to block the downpour. Suddenly, Kong Sheng looked up towards a spot in the void and said, "Though your barrier is formidable, it poses little threat to me."

The void there rippled, and Yao Yao's slender figure emerged.

Her cool eyes gazed down, and her red lips parted slightly. "Does one Genesis-Breaking Blood Art give you such confidence?" she said. "Look at your sword blade."

Kong Sheng's gaze immediately snapped to his sword blade, and his pupils constricted slightly. He saw that the blood patterns on the sword had, unbeknownst to him, become faint.

"Are those the rain Genesis Runes?!" Kong Sheng's heart trembled.

His expression was slightly displeased. Staring at Yao Yao, he said, "So your barrier wasn't meant to deal with me, but to dismantle my Genesis-Breaking Blood Art!"

"Although the Genesis-Breaking Blood Art has a restrictive effect on some Genesis Runes," Yao Yao said indifferently, "it can also be restricted by certain other Genesis Runes. That's why I said, if you think you can underestimate Genesis Runes just because you possess this art, then you're a bit too naive."

Kong Sheng frowned. He had never expected that what Yao Yao had been targeting from the start was his "Genesis-Breaking Blood Art."

Now that the Genesis-Breaking Blood Art had been nullified, his advantage would also disappear.

"It seems I'll have to rely on my own abilities to fight you after all," Kong Sheng sighed softly. His gaze, however, gradually sharpened as a terrifying wave of Genesis Qi slowly rose from within him.

Originally, he had wanted to use the Genesis-Breaking Blood Art to defeat Yao Yao as quickly as possible, but now, that idea seemed unrealistic. Yao Yao's formidable nature far exceeded his imagination.

"Now I can only hope Baili Che can quickly defeat Zhou Yuan and rescue the disciples of Sword Cometh Peak from the barrier."

Yao Yao seemed to have divined Kong Sheng's thoughts. Her red lips curved slightly as she said, "If you're still relying on Baili Che, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

"What do you mean?" Kong Sheng's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly.

Enveloped by Yao Yao's barrier, he was unable to sense the situation outside.

Yao Yao lightly tapped with the Genesis Rune brush in her hand. Immediately, the surrounding space vibrated, revealing the outside world, and Kong Sheng's gaze instantly shot towards the previous battlefield of Zhou Yuan and Baili Che.

His pupils then suddenly constricted.

There, he saw only Zhou Yuan's figure, while the Genesis Qi fluctuations belonging to Baili Che had already vanished within the Genesis Pool.

"How is this possible?!" At this moment, even with Kong Sheng's composure, his expression couldn't help but change. He said in a deep voice, "How could Baili Che lose to Zhou Yuan?!"

He knew Baili Che's strength best, and Zhou Yuan was merely the chief disciple of Saint Genesis Peak. There should have been a considerable gap between them.

However, facing Kong Sheng's questions, Yao Yao didn't bother to argue, simply staring at him with a hint of amusement.

Kong Sheng eventually realized that his skepticism was rather comical, as the truth was right before his eyes. For a moment, his expression flickered between cloudy and clear. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and mutter, "What a useless fellow!"

Now that Baili Che had been defeated by Zhou Yuan, this already unfavorable situation for them had almost completely tipped.

As annoyance welled up in Kong Sheng's heart, Zhou Yuan, in the distance, also sensed the gaze. He immediately looked up towards Yao Yao and Kong Sheng.

His gaze met Kong Sheng's, and he smiled. The next moment, his figure shot towards the elite disciples of Sword Cometh Peak who were fiercely battling the Saint Genesis Peak disciples.

Evidently, after defeating Baili Che, he was now free to clear out the elite disciples of Sword Cometh Peak who had escaped the barrier.

With his arrival, Sword Cometh Peak's side immediately fell into chaos, and many disciples wore panicked expressions.

Soon, several figures flew out from among them, powerful Genesis Qi surging around them. They were not much weaker than Yuan Hong. Evidently, Sword Cometh Peak had sent out its top disciples, second only to Baili Che, in an attempt to stop Zhou Yuan.

Boom! Boom!

However, their efforts clearly had no effect. Zhou Yuan at this point was far stronger than he had been during the chief disciple competition. If he were to fight Yuan Hong now, the latter probably wouldn't last long against him.

And these top disciples of Sword Cometh Peak faced the same outcome.

Not long after they began fighting, disciples were successively heavily injured by Zhou Yuan and directly kicked out of the Genesis Pool.

Facing this scene, the disciples from the various distant peaks secretly shook their heads. The advantage in the current situation had completely shifted towards Saint Genesis Peak. After all, with Kong Sheng and Zhao Zhu unable to disengage, there was no one on Sword Cometh Peak's side who could stop Zhou Yuan.

And as time passed, it was likely that, apart from Kong Sheng and Zhao Zhu, all other disciples of Sword Cometh Peak would be eliminated from the Genesis Pool.

Kong Sheng naturally knew this.

So at this moment, his expression was extremely grim. He had never imagined that the situation would turn out like this.

The strength of their Sword Cometh Peak far surpassed Saint Genesis Peak. In their view, dealing with Saint Genesis Peak this time should have been an overwhelming victory, but who could have foreseen that not only did they fail to overwhelm them, but they also dragged Sword Cometh Peak into such a disadvantageous situation?

"If you of Sword Cometh Peak still wish to preserve some face, then withdraw from the Genesis Pool now," Yao Yao said leisurely, her clear eyes looking over.

"Dream on!" Kong Sheng said chillingly, his eyes cold.

"Then I'll just have to kick you out one by one." Yao Yao's fair wrist gave a slight flick, and as her Genesis Rune brush descended, countless Genesis Runes instantly formed. Lightning and fire intertwined across the heavens and earth, ferociously powerful.

Boom! Boom!

The lightning and fire Genesis Runes coiled, hissing like giant pythons, and fell overwhelmingly towards Kong Sheng.

Torrential Genesis Qi also erupted from Kong Sheng's body. Clearly, he was acting in anger, holding nothing back.

Rumble!

Both sides clashed with full power, immediately causing the ground to tremble and mountains to sway. The commotion was far more violent than when Zhou Yuan and Baili Che had fought earlier.

However, no matter how fierce Kong Sheng's offensive was, he could not escape the relentless bombardment of the Genesis Runes and could only continuously clash head-on.

As time passed, Kong Sheng became somewhat impatient with his attacks, because he could see that after Zhou Yuan joined the battle, the disciples of Sword Cometh Peak were continuously being eliminated.

And in the deeper Illusory Heaven Barrier below, more Sword Cometh Peak disciples were also continuously being eliminated in their fierce battle against the attracted water beasts.

Sword Cometh Peak could be said to have suffered heavy losses.

The disciples from the various distant peaks saw this scene and understood that the outcome of this battle between the two peaks was already clear.

If this situation continued, Sword Cometh Peak would ultimately only have two Holy Sons remaining, and all other disciples would be eliminated. Such a result could only be described as tragic.

"This Saint Genesis Peak is truly ruthless," they muttered, exchanging glances. All saw solemnity and apprehension in each other's eyes. It seemed that from now on, Saint Genesis Peak could no longer be regarded as it once was.

"This time, Sword Cometh Peak has truly hit a brick wall, losing all face..."

Disciples from the various peaks sighed with emotion. Saint Genesis Peak had produced chief disciples before, but there had never been much change. Who could have imagined that this time, after Zhou Yuan became the chief disciple of Saint Genesis Peak, the peak would seem to have undergone a complete transformation?

Time gradually passed.

At this point, there were fewer than a few dozen elite disciples of Sword Cometh Peak left. They were completely surrounded by hundreds of Saint Genesis Peak disciples, presenting a scene of utter desperation, completely devoid of the prestige they had displayed when previously chasing Saint Genesis Peak.

Zhou Yuan calmly looked at the terrified Sword Cometh Peak disciples. Without hesitation, he waved his hand and said, "Eliminate them all."

After all Sword Cometh Peak disciples were eliminated, they could then concentrate their strength on dealing with Kong Sheng and Zhao Zhu.

Boom! Boom!

However, just as the Saint Genesis Peak disciples were preparing to attack, thunderous roars suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth.

Zhou Yuan looked up, frowning slightly, at the distant sky. He saw that thunderclouds seemed to be forming there, and then numerous bolts of lightning streaked over, finally hovering in this part of the sky.

And after the lightning appeared, majestic Genesis Qi also swept over from other directions, as figures radiating powerful pressure appeared in this part of the sky.

Among them, Zhou Yuan saw some familiar figures.

"It's the Holy Sons from the other five peaks!" Lu Yan, beside him, also exclaimed.

Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. While they were fighting with such earth-shattering intensity here, the Holy Sons from the other five peaks had finally shown up...
