Chapter 622: Cangjiao Destroys the Golden Core

Surging Genesis Qi fluctuations, like an erupting volcano, continuously erupted from Zhou Yuan's body, causing cracks to spread out beneath his feet. At this moment, the Genesis Qi fluctuations throughout Zhou Yuan's body were terrifyingly powerful!

This was because he had activated the Earth Saint Rune, drawing Genesis Qi from nearly three hundred miles of earth! That was three times the amount he had drawn when he killed Fan Yao!

Surging Earth Genesis Qi roared through Zhou Yuan's body. The Earth Genesis Qi was incredibly dense, and its powerful surge caused Zhou Yuan's skin to continuously crack. Fortunately, Zhou Yuan's physical body had also grown stronger, so as soon as blood appeared, it was quickly healed.

Zhou Yuan's robes fluttered and his hair danced. His pale yellow eyes locked onto Chai Ying, whose expression was grim in the sky above. A cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.

In the sky, a look of surprise also flashed in Chai Ying's eyes as he stared at Zhou Yuan, because he felt a genuine threat from the latter at this moment.

"Why has this guy's Genesis Qi surged so astonishingly?!" "I've never heard of the Cangxuan Sect having such a strange Genesis Art!" Chai Ying's expression was uncertain, his heart filled with surprise and doubt.

However, he quickly reined in these emotions. What was important now was not Zhou Yuan's methods, but to suppress him.

"You want to kill me? What big talk!"

Chai Ying sneered. Although Zhou Yuan's aura was astonishing at this moment, it wouldn't be easy to intimidate him! He knew well that if he were to truly lose to Zhou Yuan here, people would say that a Saint Palace Saint Son couldn't even defeat a Cangxuan Sect Chief Disciple, which would be a tremendous blow to the Saint Palace's reputation.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to kill Zhou Yuan here today!

Chai Ying slowly raised his hand. Mighty and powerful Genesis Qi, like a flood, surged from his body. Black-gold Genesis Qi obscured the sky and sun, also displaying an immense momentum. Being able to become the youngest Saint Son of the Saint Palace, Chai Ying's strength was naturally extraordinary.

"Today, I will see who kills whom!" Chai Ying's tone was grim, filled with killing intent.

Zhou Yuan looked at the fierce Chai Ying, his face expressionless, not speaking. He suddenly clapped his palms together, producing a clear sound.

Within his body, astonishing Genesis Qi began to boil, and then his mouth gradually puffed out, faintly emitting a pale yellow glow, permeated with a dangerous aura. The space around him gradually distorted at this moment, evidently caused by the raging and unparalleled power within him.

Countless horrified gazes from across the land converged, all sensing the terrifying attack Zhou Yuan was about to unleash.

In the sky, Chai Ying's pupils also slightly contracted.

"Earth Saint Rune, Azure Dragon Force!"

A low roar erupted from Zhou Yuan's heart at this moment.

His mouth, puffed out to its limit, suddenly opened. The next instant, a vast, pale yellow torrent roared forth, and within the torrent, a colossal pale yellow flood dragon could be seen.

The pale yellow giant flood dragon roared skyward, shaking heaven and earth.

The giant flood dragon seemed somewhat familiar; it was precisely the phenomenon that appeared when Zhou Yuan activated his Genesis Qi of the Heavenly Python. Evidently, Zhou Yuan had actually fused the Earth Genesis Qi with his Genesis Qi of the Heavenly Python! In doing so, the power of both immediately soared.

The pale yellow giant flood dragon roared forth, moving with the speed of thunder, its momentum vast and fierce, directly charging towards Chai Ying.

As Chai Ying looked at the fiercely approaching giant flood dragon, his expression drastically changed. He had known that Zhou Yuan's counterattack would be fierce, but he didn't expect it to exceed his expectations. But Chai Ying also knew that he could not retreat now. He had to tear through all of Zhou Yuan's attacks with an unstoppable momentum; only then could he maintain his prestige.

"A mere Chief Disciple, do you really think this Saint Son fears you?!" Chai Ying's eyes turned cold. He knew he could no longer hold back. He immediately took a deep breath, his mouth slightly parting, and black-gold light slowly rose. Finally, a black-gold pill about the size of a baby's fist emerged from his mouth.

The black-gold pill had mysterious patterns on its surface. Although it seemed small in size, when it appeared, space subtly distorted around it.

At this moment, various factions across the land witnessed this scene, and gasps of surprise immediately erupted.

"That's... the Golden Saint Hall's strongest art, the Black-Gold Pill?!"

At the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace, Gong Wan's beautiful eyes slightly narrowed as she slowly said, "This Chai Ying has actually unleashed the Black-Gold Pill he cultivated. It seems he's truly been pushed to his limits."

The Golden Saint Hall of the Saint Palace possesses a guardian art called the Black-Gold Pill. It is nurtured with Genesis Qi, taking the form of a pill, constantly compressing Genesis Qi into it. When facing an enemy, the pill can be activated, and its power can shatter mountains and rivers.

However, the Black-Gold Pill is the power source for disciples of the Golden Saint Hall. Usually, it is not easily unleashed unless absolutely necessary, for fear of being damaged and thus shaking their foundation.

"To be able to push a Saint Son of the Golden Saint Hall to this point, Zhou Yuan is truly remarkable," Gong Wan said, looking at Zuoqiu Qingyu and Lu Luo.

"However, trouble has also arrived. Since Chai Ying has unleashed the Black-Gold Pill, this will truly be a fight to the death..."

"Can Zhou Yuan truly withstand the power of the Black-Gold Pill?"

Even Gong Wan held a skeptical attitude regarding this.

Buzz!

The Black-Gold Pill floated before Chai Ying. His eyes were filled with grimness and killing intent. The next moment, he waved his sleeve, and the Black-Gold Pill burst forth with a black aura. The next instant, it shot out with a whistle.

As the Black-Gold Pill streaked out, the air exploded completely. The void itself began to distort, and black-gold Genesis Qi emerged from it, like a meteor streaking across the sky. Its power was enough to destroy heaven and earth.

Evidently, the killing intent in Chai Ying's heart had soared to its peak. He had no intention of using any fancy tricks; instead, he directly unleashed the Black-Gold Pill to utterly obliterate Zhou Yuan.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of countless onlookers, the pale yellow giant flood dragon roared upwards, and the black-gold pill descended like a meteor. Both exuded extremely fierce momentum.

Finally, the two collided... like the eruption of heavenly thunder and earthly fire.

Boom!

An indescribable shockwave swept across the void, collapsing mountains and destroying forests in its wake...

That destructive impact lasted for several minutes before finally dissipating. Countless gazes were fixed intently upon the scene.

In the sky, the enormous pale yellow giant flood dragon had vanished, leaving only a black-gold pill quietly suspended in the void.

"Phew."

Seeing this scene, the Saint Palace disciples all breathed a sigh of relief. Judging by appearances, Zhou Yuan's attack had clearly been broken by the Black-Gold Pill.

In the sky, a ferocious expression also emerged on Chai Ying's face.

"Brat, what else do you have to be arrogant with me now?!" He stared grimly at Zhou Yuan, then raised his hand to retrieve the Black-Gold Pill.

However, just as he raised his hand, a faint cracking sound seemed to echo throughout heaven and earth.

Although the sound was extremely subtle, Chai Ying's pupils violently contracted, and his face stiffened. His eyes, filled with immense horror, stared at the Black-Gold Pill suspended in the sky.

Then, the next moment, he saw tiny cracks slowly spreading across the Black-Gold Pill...

At this moment, the countless other gazes also perceived it. Their mouths slowly gaped open, and horror surged wildly within their pupils.

The entire world fell into a dead silence.
