Chapter 649: Twist

The moment Zhou Yuan’s palm touched the ground, the entire majestic peak trembled violently. Deep within the earth, vast amounts of Genesis Qi surged like ground pythons. It then whistled in from all directions, flowing like a torrent into Zhou Yuan’s body through his hand that touched the ground.

A yellowish-brown light erupted from Zhou Yuan’s body.

The violent and surging Genesis Qi roared continuously within him.

The earth’s Genesis Qi was incredibly heavy, difficult for an ordinary body to bear. It was fortunate that Zhou Yuan’s physical body had achieved some mastery; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to draw such Genesis Qi into himself.

Even so, when the earth’s Genesis Qi entered his body, Zhou Yuan’s flesh and blood were still jolted. Numerous bloodstains were torn open on the surface of his body.

Fortunately, the Taiyi Azure Wood Mark within Zhou Yuan’s body continuously emitted vitality, repairing the tears in his flesh. Otherwise, at this moment, Zhou Yuan might have been riddled with wounds before even making a move.

The yellowish-brown light condensed on Zhou Yuan’s skin, subtly forming some mysterious patterns.

The Genesis Qi pressure emanating from Zhou Yuan’s body also began to climb at an astonishing speed. The massive rocks beneath his feet could no longer bear it and started to crack.

Feeling the surging power within him, like a raging dragon, Zhou Yuan exhaled a long puff of white mist. This kind of power was his true confidence in facing Jin Chuanzi.

The previous exchange had merely been to test the extent of Jin Chuanzi’s Genesis Qi foundation.

Not far from Zhou Yuan, Jin Chuanzi, who had initially worn a playful expression, subtly froze when he sensed the Genesis Qi pressure emanating from Zhou Yuan.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi fluctuations had surged dramatically, even beginning to make him perceive a threat.

It was important to note that Jin Chuanzi had never felt such a threat, not even when Zhou Yuan had previously used three types of power.

Clearly, Zhou Yuan had employed some unknown method that caused his Genesis Qi to multiply explosively.

Jin Chuanzi’s expression turned somewhat sinister, realizing the young man had been hiding such a trick.

His eyes flickered, and the killing intent in them intensified. The next moment, he stomped his foot violently, and emerald-green Genesis Qi shot skyward like a volcano. It transformed into countless beams of emerald-green poisonous light that swirled down like a deluge, aiming directly at Zhou Yuan.

As the poisonous light swept through the void, even the air was corroded, turning into faint toxic mist.

Evidently, facing Zhou Yuan at this moment, Jin Chuanzi’s previous ‘cat playing with a mouse’ mentality began to change. This was because the previous Zhou Yuan could not have made him feel threatened, but now, the ‘mouse’ he had identified seemed to have deviated somewhat.

Therefore, Jin Chuanzi decided to thoroughly deal with Zhou Yuan before the situation spiraled completely out of control.

Countless beams of emerald-green poisonous light whistled down, like phosphorescence. Zhou Yuan looked up, his pupils reflecting the myriad green lights, and calmly stated that Jin Chuanzi was in a hurry.

He also sensed that Jin Chuanzi’s current attack carried a stronger killing intent and was more hurried.

Jin Chuanzi sneered but remained silent.

Zhou Yuan’s expression remained calm. Jin Chuanzi’s current offensive was even more ferocious; previously, Zhou Yuan would indeed have found it difficult to parry. However, now, even if his Genesis Qi foundation still didn’t reach Jin Chuanzi’s 83,000, that gap was no longer insurmountable.

He spread his hands, and golden Genesis Qi surged up, forming a golden barrier that completely enveloped his body.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless beams of emerald-green poisonous light descended, fiercely slamming into the golden barrier. The overwhelming momentum was terrifying; even the surrounding ground was severely corroded and riddled with holes.

However, to the astonishment of countless observers outside the mountain, although the golden barrier rippled continuously under the bombardment, it remained intact, shielding Zhou Yuan within.

Only when the last beam of emerald-green poisonous light fell did the golden barrier finally totter and quietly shatter.

Zhou Yuan stood within it, unmoving, his expression calm.

Outside the mountain, countless exclamations rang out.

People from all sides showed expressions of shock. This was the first time since the two began fighting that Zhou Yuan had completely withstood Jin Chuanzi’s assault without a scratch.

They wondered how he had suddenly become so powerful. He had previously relied entirely on Genesis Qi to withstand Jin Chuanzi’s attacks, but they couldn't fathom how he could have done so with only a 39,000 Genesis Qi foundation. They thought that kid truly was strange! No wonder he dared to confront Jin Chuanzi; it turned out he had a trump card.

On the highly visible peak, Jin Chuanzi also stared grimly at Zhou Yuan. The previous attack being entirely blocked by the latter had filled him with considerable fury.

This was undoubtedly a harsh slap to his face.

Zhou Yuan ignored Jin Chuanzi’s grim gaze. He finally exhaled a puff of white mist, his eyes, sharp as an eagle’s, fixed on Jin Chuanzi as he slowly stated that Jin Chuanzi had been attacking until now, and now it was his turn.

The moment his voice fell, Zhou Yuan’s gaze turned cold. Behind him, the Holy Spirit phantom unfurled its wings and suddenly flapped.

His figure vanished from the spot almost as if by teleportation.

Jin Chuanzi’s pupils constricted slightly. Zhou Yuan’s speed at this moment was truly astonishing.
