Chapter 973: 联手

Across the plains, immense waves of Genesis Qi shockwaves raged, causing the entire world to violently shake. At the source of those shockwaves, three figures of light intersected like lightning, each collision creating earth-shattering commotion that caused countless onlookers to gasp in astonishment.

Although another battlefield under the starry sky featured top talents like Li Tongshen, Yuan Kun, and Jiugong clashing, nearly ninety percent of all attention was firmly drawn to this spot. This was because the battle here was simply too intense. An uninformed observer might even believe three Heaven Sun experts were clashing. The radiance of the three almost eclipsed everyone else.

Boom! Boom! Genesis Qi impacts, like colossal waves, erupted one after another. The three figures of light all paused slightly in unison.

Wu Yao's beautiful face was filled with ferocity and dominance. In the preceding melee, she displayed no defensive posture whatsoever, relentlessly attacking. Her cultivated Black Lightning, in terms of pure destructive power, was arguably the strongest among the three. Such an intense battle fueled the battle intent in Wu Yao's phoenix-like eyes, making it even more fervent. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she experienced such an exhilarating fight.

“Since we’ve started, let’s unleash all our power!” Wu Yao let out a sharp cry. The next instant, her jade hands rapidly formed a seal, and boundless light erupted from her delicate body.

“Martial God Art!” Wu Yao's aura surged dramatically at this moment, light flowed over her red dress, and her Genesis Qi stars climbed steadily, rising directly from 74 million to 93 million! This was an increase of a full 19 million! Clearly, Wu Yao had employed a secret art from the Martial God Domain.

Wu Yao clasped her slender hand, and two streaks of ten-thousand-foot black lightning descended from the sky, piercing through the void and rapidly striking Zhao Mu Shen and Su Youwei like lightning.

Zhao Mu Shen watched the roaring, black dragon-like lightning approaching, a hint of caution crossing his face. He dared not delay, stomping his foot in mid-air, causing the air to explode with a piercing sound.

“Ancestor Soul Canon!” From within Zhao Mu Shen, a phantom light figure suddenly materialized. The figure had no discernible features but emanated an indescribable, ancient and vast aura. The light figure swooped down, directly merging into Zhao Mu Shen's glabella. The next instant, Zhao Mu Shen's Genesis Qi fluctuations also began to surge dramatically; in just a single breath, they skyrocketed from 75 million to 95 million!

Almost simultaneously, intense purple light erupted from within Su Youwei.

“Purple Heaven Starlight!” Purple light soared into the sky, transforming into myriad stars. The starlight reflected down, unexpectedly forming Genesis Qi stars in the void behind Su Youwei. Her 83 million Genesis Qi stars also surged accordingly.

Countless gazes turned towards her, as many wanted to know what level Su Youwei's Genesis Qi would reach if her substantial foundation was augmented by a secret art. Would it break past a hundred million?!

However, it was unheard of for anyone to break through the 100 million Genesis Qi stars mark in the Divine Dwelling stage, as it seemed to be a boundary that even the most astonishing talents found increasingly difficult to surpass. The Genesis Qi stars behind Su Youwei continued to climb under the convergence of countless gazes. However, just as the number of Genesis Qi stars reached 98 million, the ascent suddenly halted, as if forcefully stopped.

Countless sighs of regret echoed throughout the world. So it was; when the number of Genesis Qi stars neared the 100 million boundary, the increase became extremely difficult, as if it were the limit of the Divine Dwelling stage. Nevertheless, even so, throughout the countless years of Hunyuan Heaven, those who could reach nearly 100 million Genesis Qi foundation in the Divine Dwelling stage were truly rare. Su Youwei, by achieving this, was enough to make a name for herself in history.

While everyone was filled with regret, Zhao Mu Shen and Su Youwei had already struck like lightning. Vast and powerful Genesis Qi soared into the sky, forcefully blocking the incoming black dragon lightning. It was as if two Genesis Qi mushroom clouds bloomed from above the ancient stone statues. The shockwaves impacted the Genesis Qi barrier, causing continuous ripples on its surface.

Outside the Genesis Qi barrier, Wang Xi sat cross-legged in mid-air. His gradually bloodshot eyes were fixed on the three creating such earth-shattering commotion within; deep within his gaze was unwillingness and yearning. He also yearned to participate in such a battle to prove himself. However, he knew that compared to those three, he was still slightly lacking. Thus, he needed to nurture his Qi, specifically his Slaughter Qi. Over the years, he had experienced many slaughters, and that Slaughter Qi was sealed within his Divine Dwelling, though its unsealing required some time to brew. He believed that once he unsealed it, he would surely be able to participate! He wanted to prove to everyone that the Divine Dwelling stage kings of Hunyuan Heaven were not limited to just those three! He, Wang Xi, was no weaker than anyone!

The massive Genesis Qi mushroom clouds gradually subsided.

Zhao Mu Shen stood in mid-air, gazing at the dazzling 98 million Genesis Qi stars behind Su Youwei. His eyes narrowed slightly, then he moved his lips lightly, and a voice entered Wu Yao's ears.

“Wu Yao, Su Youwei’s Genesis Qi foundation is extremely formidable. If this three-way battle continues, it will be most advantageous for her. There also seems to be some friction between you and her, so perhaps you and I can temporarily join forces to eliminate her first.”

Wu Yao’s phoenix-like eyes flickered slightly, and a voice, wrapped in Genesis Qi, returned: “Agreed.”

The two instantly reached an agreement. The next instant, their figures flickered, appearing as if by teleportation directly in front of and behind Su Youwei. Their actions immediately caused an uproar outside. No one expected that Wu Yao and Zhao Mu Shen would be the first to team up!

Wu Yao’s jade hands rapidly formed a seal like lightning, her phoenix-like eyes sharp. Boundless black lightning gathered behind her, gradually forming a black lightning egg with cracks rapidly spreading across its surface. A clear and resonant phoenix cry suddenly resounded. A black lightning phoenix appeared, directly breaking out of the egg. Its wings flapped, black lightning surged, causing the void to crack open.

Minor Saint Art: Lightning Phoenix Descent!

“Go!” With a point of her slender jade finger, the black lightning phoenix, filled with terrifying destructive power, suddenly shot out directly at Su Youwei.

And in front of Su Youwei, Zhao Mu Shen let out a long howl to the sky. A massive golden light array appeared behind him, rotating, with ancient voices emanating from it. The next moment, a mottled, ancient yellow giant hand suddenly reached out from within. The giant hand was formed by Genesis Qi, but for some unknown reason, it emanated a chilling aura.

Minor Saint Art: Hand of the Ancestor Soul!

The ancient giant hand directly tore through the void, fiercely grabbing down at Su Youwei. Where its shadow fell, even space was locked down, leaving no escape!

Outside, countless people cried out in shock. Zhao Mu Shen and Wu Yao had instantly launched a killing blow, directly unleashing two Minor Saint Arts. This was definitely a trump card attack! And facing this situation, even Su Youwei, with the slightest carelessness, would be severely wounded and eliminated! Countless gazes regretfully looked at the small figure caught between two terrifying attacks. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Su Youwei would be the first to fall into such a dangerous situation!
