  “How… how did this happen?” Zhou Tai swallowed several times as he looked towards Zhou Yuan in disbelief.

  Zhou Yuan grinned and answered, “This is what we were preparing.”

  Lu Yan also blankly stared at Zhou Yuan as she said, “So you guys were missing from the island previously, because you came here to set up a boundary?”

  Zhou Yuan nodded. “If we constructed the boundary on the island, the other side would have been very wary. Only by placing it on the vast sea would manage to catch all of them.”

  He grinned at the dumbstruck group, before continuing, “I didn’t divulge any information due to the importance of this matter. I hope everyone does not blame me too much.”

  Zhou Tai, Lu Yan and the rest numbly shook their heads. The sight before their eyes had already turned their brains to mush, and they had completely no idea of what they should do now.

  They had already resolved themselves to fight till the end against Sword Cometh Peak’s overwhelming might. Who could have expected that the situation would suddenly change so drastically.

  While the earth-shaking change was occurring in this region of the sea, outside the Genesis reservoir, sect master Qing Yan, the five peak masters and the many elders also saw what had happened.

  “Is that the Heaven Disorientating Boundary?” Spirit Rune Peak master Bai Mei was the first to cry out in surprise, his voice clearly a little shaky. This boundary was no stranger to him, because it was part of Spirit Rune Hall’s collection.

  However, it was extremely complex and difficult to set up. In the entire Spirit Rune Peak, even Ye Ge would be hard pressed to successfully construct it.

  Peak master Bai Mei never expected that it would be set up by Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao.

  “What genius. They’ve borrowed the power of the Genesis reservoir by linking up the boundary and the sea. This greatly expanded the scale of the boundary, making it capable of trapping ten thousand people.” He praised out loud.

  Strange expressions were revealed on the other peak masters’ faces, before they cast a sideway glance at the expressionless peak master Ling Jun.

  The entire Cangxuan Sect knew that Sword Cometh Peak was filled with resentment towards Saint Genesis Peak, and were most certainly going to use the latter to release all of these negative feelings during the Genesis reservoir ceremony.

  With regards to this situation, sect master Qing Yang had tried to mediate, in hopes that Sword Cometh Peak would not bully Saint Genesis Peak too much, but peak master Ling Jun given the excuse that these were the intentions of the disciples, it would not be appropriate for him to interfere.

  But all the other peak masters knew that peak master Ling Jun was likewise a little sore over this matter, and hoped to punish Saint Genesis Peak.

  As such, the other peak masters had been pitying Saint Genesis Peak somewhat. They knew that even with Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao, it was basically impossible for Saint Genesis Peak to put up a fight against Sword Cometh Peak.

  Saint Genesis Peak’s foundations were just far too weak after all.

  How could a mere few hundred disciples possibly match the ten thousand strong Sword Cometh Peak?

  However, who could have foreseen that Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao would sneak out while the rest of the disciples were hiding away on their island, and set up a boundary of this scale without anyone noticing.

  A boundary which had currently trapped all the Sword Cometh Peak disciples.

  With regards to Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao’s tactics, even sect master Qing Yang and the rest were a little impressed. These two little ones had extraordinary ambition and daringness.

  “It is indeed a wonderful boundary, but they may have bitten off more than they can chew.”

  Peak master Ling Jun calmly said, “They’ve sacrificed power in order to trap all of the Sword Cometh Peak disciples. The ordinary disciples may be powerless, but some of the elite disciples will soon find an opportunity to break free from the boundary. When that happens, they only need to exert a little force from the outside to destroy the boundary.”

  Peak master Ling Jun’s discernment abilities were clearly top tier, instantly finding the boundary’s weakness at a single glance.

  “With so little time, how many Sword Cometh Peak disciples can those few hundred Saint Genesis Peak disciples possibly eliminate?”

  “Therefore, this boundary will only delay the inevitable, and is no cause for concern.”

  Sect master Qing Yang and the rest did not refute. They had likewise made the same observation. The boundary might work on the ordinary disciples, but would not be very effective against the elite disciples.

  If Zhou Yuan and the others did not have any follow-up plans, the situation would most likely develop as peak master Ling Jun had said. This amazing boundary was merely delaying the inevitable.

  In the sky distorted by the boundary, Zhou Yuan looked towards the stunned Zhou Tai and gang, as he smiled and said, “The boundary can only trap the ordinary disciples. Kong Sheng and the rest will soon break free.”

  Zhou Tai and the rest jerked back to their senses as they mumbled, “Although the Sword Cometh Peak disciples have been trapped, the few of us will at most be able to eliminate only a thousand of them within a short period of time.”

  They were feeling rather ashamed. Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao had created such a good chance for them, but they were incapable of achieving decisive advantage due to their lack of power.

  Zhou Yuan merely smiled when he heard this. “There’s no need for you guys to worry. Leave it to me.”

  Zhou Tai, Lu Yan and the rest cast doubtful glances at Zhou Yuan. They had sensed that the boundary only had trapping capabilities, and lacked any form of powerful offensive abilities. Even if Zhou Yuan were to personally take action, how many people could he possibly eliminate by himself?

  Zhou Yuan did not explain. He merely exchanged a look with Yaoyao, as the latter nodded and said, “Go, I will stabilize the boundary.”

  Zhou Yuan nodded. With a deep breath, his figure abruptly descended, plunging into the Genesis reservoir with a splash.

  He raised his head and saw that the area within a several thousand mile radius had been divided into little individual pockets by the boundary. In every pocket, a struggling figure could be seen.

  Iciness surged in Zhou Yuan’s eyes.

  The main act was finally going to begin!

  Chapter 523 Can’t Escape

  Countless Sword Cometh Peak disciples were struggling on the surface of the boiling sea. However, after the initial panic was over, more and more people began to calm down. They seated themselves in a cross-legged position, and began to probe for any vulnerabilities.

  In fact, Kong Sheng, Zhao Zhu, Baili Che and several of the stronger disciples had already begun to attack the boundary, causing the space around them to ripple.

  From the looks of it, they should be able to force their way out.

  High up in the sky, the scouts from the various peaks slowly came back to their senses when they saw this. They had likewise realized that though the boundary was enormous, it lacked offensive capabilities...

  “It’s likely some kind of trapping boundary.”

  “Though it’s humongous, it’s power is scattered because there are too many Sword Cometh Peak disciples. At this rate, Kong Sheng and the others will soon break free.”

  “What a pity. Saint Genesis Peak has far too little people on their side. Even if all them attacked, they won’t be able to eliminate enough Sword Cometh Peak disciples.”

  “But Zhou Yuan and Zhou Xiaoyao are not to be underestimated.”

  “......”

  The scouts from the various peaks whispered amongst themselves. After the initial shock, they realized that though all of the Sword Cometh Peak disciples were trapped in the boundary, Saint Genesis Peak did not appear to have any means of turning this opportunity into an decisive advantage.

  From the looks of the current situation, once Kong Sheng and the rest broke fr
ee, and gathered up with some of the other elite disciples, they would be completely capable of defending themselves against anything Saint Genesis Peak threw at them.

  When that happened, Sword Cometh Peak would only need to keep delaying for time, and Saint Genesis Peak would most certainly end up being fully eliminated.

  However, there was one thing that puzzled the many scouts. The Saint Genesis Peak disciples were still standing there in the air, with seemingly no intention of using this chance to eliminate a few Sword Cometh Peak disciples.

  Could Saint Genesis Peak have invested so much effort and time to set up this boundary, lure the Sword Cometh Peak disciples over, and trap them, just to watch them struggle for a while?

  Time swiftly flowed under the puzzled gazes of the scouts.

  Thump! Thump!

  Several loud thumps were heard from the boundary at this moment. Everyone watched as several glowing figures dashed into the sky, revealing themselves to be Kong Sheng, Zhao Zhu and Baili Che.

  The trio’s faces were rather stormy at this moment, even the usually composed Kong Sheng. It was clear that he had been very angered by Sword Cometh Peak disciples being trapped.

  He had already been extremely cautious, but who could have expected that Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao would set up a boundary of such scale on the surface of the sea.

  The Saint Genesis Peak disciples’ expressions changed when they saw the Kong Sheng trio break free, as they warily stared at the trio.

  Kong Sheng took in a deep breath, suppressing the rage in his heart. He cast a glance at the trapped Sword Cometh Peak disciples below, before casting his gaze towards Yaoyao, “I truly never imagined that you would be so capable. To think that you were even able to construct a boundary of this scale.”

  His discerning abilities were not weak, and knew just how difficult it was to set up a boundary like this. Among all the Cangxuan Sect disciples, even Ye Ge could not achieve this feat.

  Yaoyao cast an indifferent glance at him, not replying as she continued to hold Tuntun in her arms.

  “Sword Cometh Peak was indeed careless this time, but your boundary seems to be only capable of trapping, and incapable of hurting anyone…” Kong Sheng calmly said, “More and more Sword Cometh Peak disciples will soon break free, returning the situation to its original state.”

  He spat out a breath of air, before he continued, “Admit defeat now, or it won’t be a pretty sight when the angry Sword Cometh Peak disciples escape.”

  His expression was indifferent, but anyone could feel the fiery anger in his words. The pressure it brought caused several Saint Genesis Peak disciples to shiver. Kong Sheng was clearly quite intimidating in the Cangxuan Sect.

  However, Yaoyao merely stroked Tuntun’s fur, completely ignoring Kong Sheng’s little speech.

  “Where does someone who was recently trapped in a cage find the face to ask us to admit defeat?” Laughter was suddenly heard at this moment. Numerous gazes turned to see a glowing figure rise from the sea and land at Yaoyao’s side.

  It was Zhou Yuan, who descended into the sea earlier.

  Baili Che glanced at Zhou Yuan and said, “Zhou Yuan, you should appreciate our kindness.”

  “Or you may go ahead and see how many of our Sword Cometh Peak disciples you guys will be able to eliminate in this span of time.” A sneer rose from the corners of Baili Che’s mouth.

  Zhou Yuan swept a glance at him and grinned, “I feel… that everyone who fails to escape the boundary in five minutes will be eliminated.”

  His words immediately drew laughter from Baili Che, even Kong Sheng and Zhao Zhu shooting an icy glance at the former.

  “Delusional.” Zhao Zhu sneered.

  Zhou Yuan chuckled, not bothering to explain. He looked towards the other disciples and commanded, “Prepare yourselves. Keep a firm eye on any of the Sword Cometh Peak disciples that escape, and make sure they don’t destroy the boundary.”

  Zhou Tai, Lu Yan and the rest nodded, though there were confused looks in their eyes. They clearly did not understand where Zhou Yuan’s confidence came from.

  Kong Sheng and the rest did not move. They merely continued to watch Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan, ready to stop them from attacking the escaping elite disciples.

  As such, the two sides fell into a deadlock of sorts for a time.

  Time flowed as more and more of the elite Sword Cometh Peak disciples began to break free. They stood behind Kong Sheng and the rest, faces brimming with anger as they glared at the Saint Genesis Peak side.

  There were about a hundred of these elite disciples.

  Although their numbers could not match Saint Genesis Peak’s side, they were far superior in quality. As such, both parties were currently evenly matched.

  The scouts from the other peaks were very puzzled by this situation. As more and more Sword Cometh Peak disciples escaped the boundary, Saint Genesis Peak’s advantage would grow smaller and smaller...

  A mocking smile rose from the corners of Baili Che’s lips as he gazed at the growing number of disciples behind him. Soon after, he unhurriedly said, “Chief disciple Zhou Yuan, we’re fast approaching the five minute mark…”

  “More and more of my Sword Cometh Peak disciples are escaping.”

  The other Saint Genesis Peak disciples looked towards Zhou Yuan in worry.

  Zhou Yuan merely smiled, declining to reply.

  The smile on Baili Che’s face grew even wider. Just as he was about to speak again, Kong Sheng’s expression abruptly changed as he jerked his head around and peered into the distance, where the surface of the sea was beginning to churn violently.

  Howl after howl rang out from the sea.

  Countless titanic silhouettes began to appear under the surface.

  Aquatic beasts! Countless aquatic beasts!

  Kong Sheng’s pupils abruptly shrank as his expression turned extremely ugly.

  “The aquatic beasts are swarming towards this place!” A hiss escaped from the cracks between his teeth.

  The mockery on Baili Che’s face froze. He could only watch helplessly as the howling aquatic beasts surged towards them from all directions, and charged into the giant boundary.

  A split second later, the miserable and panicked shrieks of countless Sword Cometh Peak disciples rang out.

  Beams of light shot into the sky, throwing figure after figure out of the reservoir.

  In less than a minute, over a thousand Sword Cometh Peak disciples had been eliminated.

  At his current point in time, both the scouts from the various peaks and the Saint Genesis Peak disciples were dumbstruck as they dazedly watched this scene...

  Kong Sheng, Zhao Zhu and Baili Che were ashen faced as they stared at the churning surface of the sea.

  No one had expected so many aquatic beasts to appear at this juncture...

  Zhou Yuan also observed the spectacular sight below, before he softly chuckled and clapped, as his unhurried voice rang out.

  “Don’t worry chief disciples Baili Che, not a single Sword Cometh Peak disciple will be able to escape anymore.”

  Chapter 524 General Against General

  Roar!

  On the sea that stretched as far as the eye could see.

  Countless howling aquatic beasts were swarming over from all directions, causing giant waves to rise as they charged into the Heaven Disorientating Boundary, and clashed with the numerous trapped disciples inside.

  This sudden turn of events made all of the Sword Cometh Peak disciples fall into a state of panic. Several disciples even shattered their protection brands at first contact, removing themselves from the ceremony.

  This turn of events shocked all the watching parties.

  No one had expected so many aquatic beasts to suddenly appear...

  After these aquatic beasts entered the Heaven Disorientating boundary, the boundary was originally lacking in offensive capabilities suddenly gained astonishing destructive power...

  This caused the Sword Cometh Peak disciples to su
ffer terrible losses in a short span of time.

  “How can this be…” In the air, Baili Chen watched this scene with an ashen expression, while more and more Sword Cometh Peaks transformed into beams of light that shot into the sky, a sign that they had been eliminated.

  Veins emerged in Baili Che’s eyes as he stared at Zhou Yuan and icily demanded, “How did you lure so many aquatic beasts here?!”

  They had previously believed the boundary to lack any form of offensive capabilities. Who could have expected that so many aquatic beasts would appear in the blink of an eye?

  This was definitely no coincidence!

  Zhou Yuan’s earlier confidence made them certain that he had something to do with this.

  But Baili Che could not understand how Zhou Yuan could draw over so many aquatic beasts...

  He was not the only one. Even the Saint Genesis Peak group’s faces were filled with disbelief, as they looked to Zhou Yuan in amazement.

  “It’s already useless to ask such questions now.”

  By the side, Kong Sheng’s eerily chilling voice slowly rang out. The number one Chosen of Sword Cometh Peak was staring at Zhou Yuan with a gaze as sharp as the edge of a blade.

  “I truly have underestimated you guys too much…”

  “I never imagined that the two of you would force Sword Cometh Peak into such a miserable situation!”

  The current situation was clearly the result of Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao’s actions. The other Saint Genesis Peak disciples were merely akin to audience members watching the show, and were nothing to be feared.

  Zhou Yuan’s expression remained composed as he said, “You guys were the ones who forced our hand.”

  If Sword Cometh Peak had not kept pushing them at every step, Zhou Yuan would naturally have no reason to invest so much thought into dealing with the former. After all, it would be better to use this energy to collect more Genesis essence, right?

  Kong Sheng did not comment. “From the looks of it, it will be impossible to make you guys voluntarily release the boundary, right?”
