Chapter 652: Silver Shadow Reappears

Under the convergence of countless horrified gazes, the venomous swamp on the peak howled and then frantically contracted. The terrifying power it unleashed even caused subtle cracks to appear in space, demonstrating the immense horror of Jin Chanzi's killing move.

At the foot of the mountain, Kong Sheng, Li Qingchan, and others instantly changed their expressions. The 'Poisonous Swamp Burial' was so lethal that even they would surely die if caught within it.

"Break through and save him!" Li Qingchan grit her teeth and exclaimed. Clearly, she sensed the danger; if Zhou Yuan were truly hit, his chances of survival would be slim.

At the same time, her delicate figure transformed into a streak of light and shot forward.

However, the moment she moved, countless violent orbs of light, each containing incredibly potent Genesis Qi, came whistling out of the Bewitching Mist. These Genesis Qi orbs slammed into Li Qingchan, forcefully driving her back.

"Hmph, just stand there and watch that brat get killed!" a sneering voice from a Saint Palace Saint Son came from outside the Bewitching Mist.

Li Qingchan's pretty face turned ashen, and her jade-like hands clenched, but ultimately, she slumped in despair. At this point, even attempting to help would be futile.

"Zhou Yuan..." She bit her red lip, her gaze fixed on the peak.

Kong Sheng, Ye Ge, and the others also fell silent. They too understood Zhou Yuan's perilous situation, but what could they do? In such a predicament, Zhou Yuan could only rely on himself. This struggle for fortune was always a dance on the edge of life and death.

"Burial Kill!" On the peak, Jin Chanzi glared ferociously at the surging venomous swamp, his eyes glinting with a mad, savage light. The next moment, he roared. The swamp contracted violently, then exploded with a thunderous rumble.

A colossal emerald mushroom cloud seemed to rise from the peak, releasing a putrid, venomous gas that even spread beyond the mountain. Some unlucky individuals who inhaled it screamed as their bodies began to decay.

This sight sent a chill down countless spines, prompting them to quickly circulate their Genesis Qi to create an air barrier.

With the air sealed off, countless gazes finally turned to the peak. Their expressions shifted as they observed the terrifying aftermath. Such an assault would undoubtedly injure even Jiang Taishen or Chu Qing if they were hit.

Zhou Yuan, being at the very center, had taken the full force of the attack. It was likely he wouldn't survive.

From the Cangxuan Sect's direction, all the disciples fell silent, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive.

Zuoqiu Qingyu and Lu Luo exchanged glances, their beautiful eyes filled with horror. Even with some faith in Zhou Yuan, they couldn't guarantee his survival against such an overwhelming attack.

On the peak, Jin Chanzi gazed at the area shrouded in emerald venomous gas, panting heavily. Then, he grinned sinisterly and said, "Little bastard, let's see how you block that one?!"

"Having taken the full force of my 'Burial Kill' technique, your corpse should at least still be intact, right?"

As Jin Chanzi muttered to himself, the pervasive toxic gas finally began to dissipate.

Jin Chanzi and countless other gazes immediately darted towards the spot where Zhou Yuan had stood. They saw that the ground there had already been corroded into a massive pit.

However, within that enormous pit, a solitary stone pillar surprisingly stood erect.

Jin Chanzi's pupils sharply contracted as he saw a tall, slender figure standing quietly atop the stone pillar.

The figure was clad in silver battle armor. The streamlined armor completely covered his body, and numerous ancient patterns were inscribed on its surface, giving it an exceptionally mysterious appearance.

The silver armor was stained with copious amounts of emerald venom, but as a silver light pulsed, the venom gradually dissipated.

Outside the mountain, an uproar erupted.

Countless individuals wore expressions of shock. No one had expected Zhou Yuan to have withstood the 'Poisonous Burial' technique head-on!

Furthermore, what was with that silver battle armor? Was it a defensive Genesis Treasure? But why did it feel so incredibly strange?

On the peak, Jin Chanzi's expression slowly turned grim, his eyes filled with fury. He hadn't expected even such a lethal move to fail at killing Zhou Yuan.

Was this guy truly unkillable?

Jin Chanzi stared intently at the silver-armored figure. Ever since the armor appeared, Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi fluctuations seemed to have vanished completely; even Jin Chanzi couldn't sense them.

However, this only made Jin Chanzi feel a sense of unease. The mysterious silver battle armor gave him an extremely dangerous sensation.

"Is this your last trump card? A turtle shell?" Jin Chanzi said sinisterly.

Zhou Yuan, completely encased in the silver battle armor, slowly opened his eyes at this moment. He paid no attention to Jin Chanzi, instead looking down at the silver armor on his body.

This was, of course, "Silver Shadow," his last hidden trump card. It wasn't true armor but a unique combat puppet. Moreover, it possessed the ability to grow stronger.

When Zhou Yuan first acquired it, Silver Shadow's power was at most equivalent to the early stage of the Alpha Origin Realm. But now, after a year or two of nurturing, Zhou Yuan could feel that Silver Shadow's strength was comparable to a true Ninth Heaven Alpha Origin Realm expert.

This was Zhou Yuan's ultimate trump card. Even when facing numerous difficulties within the Cangxuan Sect, he had tried to avoid using it to prevent exposure. However, in the current situation, Zhou Yuan clearly couldn't hide it any longer.

Jin Chanzi was extremely powerful. In Zhou Yuan's estimation, among the Cangxuan Sect's ten Saint Sons, perhaps only Chu Qing had the confidence to defeat him, and Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan might even be slightly inferior to him.

Facing an opponent of this caliber, if Zhou Yuan still thought about holding back his trump cards, he would truly be seeking his own demise.

He took a deep breath, his gaze gradually sharpening, turning like a blade towards Jin Chanzi. Intense killing intent erupted from him.

Since his ultimate trump card had been revealed, this conflict should now conclude.

He stepped forward, his figure instantly appearing in mid-air. The next moment, an incredibly powerful Genesis Qi storm erupted from his body without reservation.

Within his heart, golden blood pulsed, and countless golden blood threads connected to his flesh, transmitting wild power outwards.

The Silver Shadow, covering his body, also glowed with a silver light at this moment. Surging Genesis Qi rolled forth, as if sweeping across the entire sky, and a terrifying Genesis Qi pressure enveloped the area.

The Saint Spirit phantom reappeared as well, with wings of light unfurling behind Zhou Yuan.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan had unleashed almost all of his power. The space where he stood vibrated rapidly, emitting ripples of spatial distortion.

Countless astonished gazes projected from across the heavens and earth. Even Chu Qing and Jiang Taishen's expressions hardened.

Meanwhile, on the peak, Jin Chanzi's face turned exceptionally grim. He stared intently at the figure in mid-air. Facing Zhou Yuan as he was now, even Jin Chanzi felt a flicker of terror deep within his pupils.

"Jin Chanzi, this fight ends now!" Zhou Yuan's chilling voice resounded from the sky.

The next instant, his figure plunged downwards.
