Chapter 634: Fierce Might

High above, Zhou Yuan stood suspended in the air, his palms extended to his sides. To his left and right, Lei Jun and Iron Demon maintained the posture of having just unleashed a punch, their fists met his palms, as if glued in place.

If not for the surging, violent Genesis Qi roaring around the three figures, distorting the very space around them, onlookers might have thought they were merely shaking hands in a friendly exchange.

However, Zuoqiu Qingyu, Li Chunyang, and Ning Zhan below watched this scene with expressions of slight shock. Especially striking were the shimmering golden stars behind Zhou Yuan.

The number of stars among them was thirty-nine thousand!

"He... he broke through!" Zuoqiu Qingyu murmured. She remembered clearly that when Zhou Yuan fought Chai Ying a few days ago, his Genesis Qi cultivation was nowhere near as profound as it was now.

At that time, Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi stars were at most around ten thousand. Yet now, they had tripled!

Clearly, in these brief few days, Zhou Yuan's strength had broken through once again.

Zhou Yuan should now be at the Eighth Heaven of the Alpha Origin Stage... However, the Genesis Qi foundation of this Eighth Heaven was shockingly powerful. Thirty-nine thousand Genesis Qi stars was a level even some Saint Sons from various sects might not be able to achieve.

"No wonder he dared to come alone," Ning Zhan exclaimed with a sigh. "This guy is truly a monster."

He touched the Black Flood Dragon tattoo on his arm and said, "Even if I desperately unsealed this Black Flood Dragon, I still wouldn't be able to defeat him."

Li Chunyang nodded slightly, his voice hoarse as he said, "My Sword Qi also wouldn't be able to handle him now... He truly is far ahead of us."

"It seems my cultivation is still insufficient. After the Profound Origin Heavenly Cave closes and I return to the sect, I'll need more intense training."

His tone was serious, clearly not just an idle remark.

However, if people from the Sword Asking Sect were here to hear this, their expressions would likely change. This was because everyone in their sect knew that Li Chunyang's cultivation was incredibly fanatical, unbearable for ordinary people. Yet now, he was still saying it wasn't enough...

As they spoke, high above, Lei Jun and Iron Demon also noticed the golden Genesis Qi stars behind Zhou Yuan. Their expressions immediately changed.

"How did this kid's Genesis Qi cultivation become so much stronger in just a few days?!" Thoughts of shock resonated within both their minds.

They had witnessed Zhou Yuan's fight with Chai Ying that day. At that time, Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi cultivation was only around ten thousand. He had been able to contend head-on with Chai Ying only by combining the three powers of Genesis Qi, physical body, and spirit.

But now, the Genesis Qi cultivation rising from Zhou Yuan's body was in no way inferior to theirs!

Their eyes darkened. Their previous punches had held nothing back. They could clearly feel violent Genesis Qi, like raging dragons, surge into Zhou Yuan's body.

Under normal circumstances, even a large mountain would have been shattered into dust by their attacks.

Yet, Zhou Yuan's body only vibrated for a moment before returning to stillness. Clearly, Zhou Yuan had forcibly nullified the power of both their punches.

What level of mastery was required to directly neutralize their full-power attacks within one's own body?

At the very least, Lei Jun and Iron Demon knew they could never easily draw an enemy's Genesis Qi of an equivalent level into their own bodies, because if it ran wild, it would cause immense damage.

But Zhou Yuan had done precisely that, and successfully nullified it.

At this moment, a potent sense of danger rose within Lei Jun and Iron Demon. The jackal they had previously perceived had, at this very moment, transformed into a ferocious beast capable of devouring lions and tigers!

Their minds raced, and in the next instant, their Genesis Qi erupted, preparing to shoot backward and retreat.

However, just as their bodies stirred, Zhou Yuan smirked coldly. He had been able to neutralize the Genesis Qi that had entered his body not just by relying on his own Genesis Qi, but also through his powerful physical body and precise control over his spirit.

Now that they had delivered themselves to his doorstep, did they still think they could leave?

He abruptly bent his palms, and a powerful suction surged forth, directly gripping their fists tightly. The next moment, golden Genesis Qi erupted from Zhou Yuan's body, vaguely manifesting as the shimmering outline of a golden python.

Zhou Yuan's body suddenly began to spin at high speed, transforming into a golden top, leaving countless afterimages. Lei Jun and Iron Demon, their expressions drastically changing, were forcefully spun along with him.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The terrifying rotational force even distorted the space. The next moment, Zhou Yuan's arm jolted, and Lei Jun and Iron Demon were flung backward, soaring across the sky as two streaks of light. They then crashed violently into two separate mountains, one to the left and one to the right.

Instantly, the mountains split and collapsed, sending countless boulders tumbling down.

Both their bodies were deeply embedded in the mountain walls, their clothes torn and blood splattered across them. They looked quite dishevelled.

The Genesis Qi within their bodies was also severely shaken by Zhou Yuan's powerful throw. For a moment, they were unable to extricate themselves from the mountain walls.

High in the sky, Zhou Yuan stared coldly at the two figures. Was his assault over? Clearly not.

Zhou Yuan flicked his finger, and the Heavenly Yuan Brush hummed. Surging golden Genesis Qi poured into it. The next moment, it transformed into a golden streak, rocketing like thunder towards Iron Demon, who was embedded in the mountain wall.

"Genesis Break!"

The Heavenly Yuan Brush's pure white tip rapidly turned pitch black at this moment, gleaming with sharp light and exuding killing intent.

Seeing this, Iron Demon's expression also drastically changed. Ignoring the turbulent Genesis Qi within his body, he roared. Surging Genesis Qi erupted, attempting to block the incoming Heavenly Yuan Brush.

Swoosh!

However, those countless Genesis Qi defenses were as fragile as tofu before the Heavenly Yuan Brush. As the Heavenly Yuan Brush swept past, all the Genesis Qi was pierced through.

The golden light rapidly expanded in Iron Demon's pupils. Fear began to surface on his face. With his current hurried defenses, he was simply unable to withstand Zhou Yuan's thunderous assault.

"No!" he shrieked.

But the Heavenly Yuan Brush did not halt. The golden light flashed past. The next moment, it directly pierced through Iron Demon's body, and its remaining power undiminished, it even shot clean through the mountain itself.

The Heavenly Yuan Brush shot out of the mountain, plunging straight into the ground and creating a massive crater.

On the mountain wall, a bloody hole appeared in Iron Demon's chest. Golden Genesis Qi raged from it, rapidly eroding the life force within him. Blood gushed from his mouth, and he reached out a hand, wanting to cover his chest, but in the end, he could only feel his life force rapidly dissipating.

His face was filled with terror; it was the taste of death.

Iron Demon struggled to look up at the sky, where Zhou Yuan stood suspended, gazing down dispassionately. This caused an immense surge of regret to well up in his heart; perhaps he should never have accepted this mission...

Darkness welled up in Iron Demon's eyes, and finally, his head slowly slumped forward.

His life force had completely vanished.

In the distance, Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others watched this scene, their mouths involuntarily falling open little by little. The horror in their eyes was impossible to conceal.

None of them had expected Zhou Yuan's counterattack to be so decisive and ruthless.

In just a single encounter, Saint Palace's Iron Demon had perished!

It was so swift and clean it was almost unbelievable.

High in the sky, Zhou Yuan stared coldly at the deceased Iron Demon. He then turned directly to the other mountain wall, where Lei Jun was staring at the slain Iron Demon with a mix of shock and horror.

When he felt Zhou Yuan's chilling gaze fall upon him, Lei Jun's scalp instantly tingled. The next moment, his figure shot up into the air, transforming into a streak of light as he rapidly retreated.

Zhou Yuan's fierce might at this moment was so overwhelming that he had actually forced a Saint Palace Saint Son to retreat!

"Trying to leave?" Zhou Yuan's cold gaze swept towards the rapidly retreating Lei Jun, his face devoid of emotion. His voice, filled with chilling killing intent, resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"I said, today there will be two empty seats among your Saint Palace Saint Sons!"

"Since you came together, you can leave together!"

That immense killing intent had not diminished in the slightest, even after slaying Iron Demon!
