Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

  Boom! Boom!

  Torrents of Genesis Qi rained down upon the Spirit Ghost Python’s enormous body. Black blood continuously flowed from the python, but though it appeared to have sustained serious injuries, it was still very much alive, causing the hearts of Fan Yao, Tang Xiaoyan and the rest to sink.

  The tenacity of the Spirit Ghost Python had far surpassed their expectations.

  Bzzbzz!

  At this moment, they suddenly sensed the space behind them begin to distort. In the next instant, two hissing night black python shadows emerged, which immediately darted towards the curled up Spirit Ghost Python.

  Jin Zhang hurriedly yelled, “Stop them!”

  The rest attacked, but the two python shadows turned transparent when the deadly Genesis Qi attacks flew past, Genesis Qi passing through instead of doing anything… as if they were ghosts.

  It was impossible to stop them.

  In that brief moment, the two python shadows had already neared the Spirit Ghost Python. The creature raised its head at this moment, extreme savageness infused in its eyes, as it locked onto Fan Yao and the others. Under its emotionless gaze, the hearts of the chief disciples trembled a little.

  Wang Yuan clenched his jaw and unwillingly said, “We’re finished!”

  Fan Yao was expressionless as his eyes rapidly flickered in thought. He was already prepared to retreat, because he knew that the situation would change once the Spirit Ghost Python managed to fuse.

  Only danger awaited them if they continued to stay here.

  He was obviously not the only one with such thoughts. The attacks of the others began to slow at this moment, evidently intending to conserve energy for their escape.

  Under numerous anxious gazes, the two python shadows zipped even nearer to the Spirit Ghost Python, now mere seconds away from rushing into its body.

  “Go!” Fan Yao had already cried out, as he began to back away without the slightest shred of hesitation.

  Wang Yuan immediately followed.

  Tang Xiaoyan lightly gritted her teeth. Although she was unwilling, she could only turn towards Zhao Ru. “Withdraw!”

  Zhao Ru angrily stomped her foot in the air, but had no choice but to comply.

  Jin Zhang frowned deeply as he urgently said, “Zhou Yuan, we should also retreat!”

  However, Zhou Yuan did not follow the former, but instead stared at the wounded and bloodied body of the Spirit Ghost Python. He could feel its venomous gaze look back at him with a playful cruelness.

  It was clearly also aware that the situation would soon turn in its favor. When that happened, it would destroy every single one of these loathsome flies.

  Zhou Yuan looked straight at its vertical pupils, and slowly said, “Did you really believe that you’ll be able to turn things around?”

  He extended a head towards the curled up Spirit Ghost Python, a sharp light flitting across his eyes as he suddenly shouted, “Erode!”

  Bzz!

  When his shout rang out, countless glows suddenly rushed out in the enormous body of the Spirit Ghost Python. Within these glows were countless thin hairs.

  They belonged to the Heavenly Yuan Brush, and had been steadily sent into the python’s flesh each time its body had been torn open earlier.

  Hss!

  An intense pain instantly exploded in the Spirit Ghost Python’s body as it hissed in pain. It was as if a billion ants were biting away inside its body, frantically gnawing towards its heart.

  The Spirit Ghost Python released a piercing hiss, while the reflection of the two python shadows rapidly grew in its eyes… once it fused with the shadows, it would be able to suppress the hairs that had invaded its body.

  “Explode!”

  However, a low voice was spat at from Zhou Yuan’s mouth at this moment.

  Boom!

  A muffled boom echoed within the Spirit Ghost Python’s body.

  The enormous body instantly turned rigid, as the savageness within its vertical pupils swiftly faded. The life force in its body had been completely exterminated at this moment.

  The two python shadows finally rushed into the Spirit Ghost Python’s body, but quickly flew back out split seconds later and dazedly floated outside.

  Rumble!

  The Spirit Ghost Python’s body slowly fell from the air, creating torrential waves as it plunged into the six color lake.

  Zhou Yuan stood in the air, giant waves rising beneath his feet, as he calmly gazed at the corpse of the giant snake. The Heavenly Yuan Brush was pointed downwards at an angle, the hairs on its tip still flickering faintly.

  The originally retreating figures of Fan Yao, Tang Xiaoyan and the others came to an abrupt halt as they turned towards the figure above the giant waves with a trace of astonishment.

  They had clearly not expected Zhou Yuan to take away the Spirit Ghost Python’s life at the final moment, causing its attempt at fusion to end up in failure...

  “He…” Zhao Ru’s expression rapidly fluctuated, a sliver of fear flitting across her eyes as she stared at Zhou Yuan’s figure.

  Tang Xiaoyan also pursed her red lips, as her eyes flickered in thought.

  Fan Yao’s eyes narrowed slightly, a dark look flashing in his eyes as he looked at the Heavenly Yuan Brush in Zhou Yuan’s hand. The latter’s Heaven Genesis Weapon was quite bizarre indeed.

  *Uproar*!

  In the distance, the Cangxuan Sect disciples exploded into excited cheers when they saw Zhou Yuan kill the Spirit Ghost Python at the very last moment.

  A commotion also swept across the disciples from the other two sects, clearly stunned by Zhou Yuan’s last minute kill.

  Zhou Yuan spat out a long drawn out breath, before lifting his head to look at Fan Yao, Tang Xiaoyan and the rest, as he playfully said, “Wasn’t everyone leaving?”

  Tang Xiaoyan displayed a rather embarrassed look as she chuckled softly.

  Fan Yao icily snorted. He had no way to retort against Zhou Yuan’s mockery.

  Rumble!

  However, just as Zhou Yuan was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed as he turned to focus on the center of the six color lake.

  Tang Xiaoyan, Fan Yao and the rest also sensed something and immediately cast their gazes over.

  Gurgle!

  The lake water began to churn, as a giant whirlpool was formed, while a gorgeously dazzling ancient tree slowly rose from within.

  “This is…?”

  When the magnificent ancient tree appeared within everyone’s sights, gasps rang out one after another.

  Gaze after gaze was practically glued to the ancient tree that seemed to grow out from the lake, unable to shift away.

  Chapter 583 Fan Yao’s Viciousness

  A giant whirlpool began to form at the center of the six color lake, as a gorgeously dazzling ancient tree slowly rose from within. Its roots seemed to float in the water, absorbing the Genesis Qi inside to grow.

  Traces of black Genesis Qi was slowly receding from the surface of the tree, likely belonging to the Spirit Ghost Python from earlier.

  The Spirit Ghost Python had dragged the tree into the lake to hide it, but after the snake was killed, the Genesis Qi binding the tree dissipated, allowing it to once again resurface.

  Of course, these were just minor and unimportant details. Every gaze was currently focused on the ancient tree’s branches, where many different colored fruits hung.

  These fruits looked as if they had been crafted from precious gems, and sparkled in a crystalline manner. Amongst them, some gave off three or four colored glows, creating an exceptionally mystical sight.

  Every gaze in the vicinity was glued to these fruits, while countless individuals secretly swallowed, unable to conceal the desire on their faces.

  They had discovered that these fruits were naturally formed Divine Establishing Treasures.

  Zhou Yuan, Fan Yao, Tang Xiaoyan and the other chief disciples were likewise stunned by the sight of this tree. Its existence had clearly exceed
ed their expectations, especially the very coveted fruit like Divine Establishing Treasures that hung from its branches.

  The fruits that gave off four color light were obviously four-color Divine Establishing Treasures.

  The most astonishing thing, however, were the four fist-sized fruits at the top of the tree. Five different colors flowed on the surface of these four fruits.

  Five-color Divine Establishing Treasures!

  In the face of these Divine Establishing Treasures, burning desire surged out even in the eyes of Zhou Yuan and the other chief disciples.

  However, they did also feel a little regretful that there were no six color fruits on the tree. In other words, there was no six-color Divine Establishing Treasure to be found in the six color lake.

  Was it because too many Divine Establishing Treasures had formed, leaving insufficient power to create a one at the six-color level?

  These feelings of regrets only lasted for a few seconds in the hearts of Zhou Yuan and the others, before quickly being pushed aside. The five-color Divine Establishing Treasure and the Mythic Genesis essence in the lake should be enough to push their Divine Establishing Treasures infinitely close to the six-color stage.

  Swoosh!

  While Zhou Yuan and the rest were staring at the fruits on the tree in longing, several rushing wind sounds were heard. Numerous figures soon arrived from all directions, landing in the vicinity of the six color lake.

  Some of the other factions had finally managed to rush over.

  They were immediately drawn to the ancient tree at the center of the lake the moment they arrived, their breathing growing heavier as greed filled their eyes.

  Some amongst them could not help but dash forward, but were soon sent flying by the repulsive force when they neared the lake.

  The disciples from the three sects began to spread out at this moment, as they turned their attention towards the newcomers. The pressure they created intimidated the various factions, making them think twice before acting.

  Not a single faction in Cangxuan Heaven has ever dared to challenge three of the overlord sects together after all.

  Zhou Yuan and the other chief disciples merely swept an indifferent glance at the factions that rushed over, before paying no further attention to them. Instead, they began to warily watch each other.

  Their temporary alliance from earlier had already vanished long ago.

  Zhou Yuan was the first to break the silence, as he slowly said, “According to what we agreed on previously, my Cangxuan Sect should take forty percent. I believe the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace and the Sacred Palace have already acknowledged this earlier, right?”

  Tang Xiaoyan hesitated slightly. Just as she was about to speak, Fan Yao softly chuckled and said, “Chief disciple Zhou Yuan, I believe you may have misunderstood a little. Even if the previous agreement is still in effect, it will not include the tree.”

  Anyone could see that this tree was the true treasure of the six color lake, and the Mythic Utopia essence in the lake had now become secondary.

  Hence, there was absolutely no way that Fan Yao would allow Zhou Yuan a forty percent share of the tree.

  “You guys are going back on your word?” Growled Jin Zhang. Although he had expected this, such shamelessness from Fan Yao still elicited a surge of rage within him.

  Fan Yao cast a glance at the former, his eyes clearly filled with contempt.

  Zhou Yuan indifferently stared at Fan Yao without speaking. The atmosphere immediately became somewhat stifling for a time, as hidden under currents flowed between them.

  A long while later, Zhou Yuan finally said, “How does chief disciple Fan Yao suggest we split it then?”

  Fan Yao softly chuckled and said, “Chief disciple Zhou Yuan, since we’ve already allowed you to take advantage of us in dividing up the six color lake, I feel that you should give in a little for the tree. How about this… my Sacred Palace will take fifty percent of the tree, while the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace and Cangxuan Sect will discuss how you guys will split the remaining fifty.”

  He paused for a moment, before he smiled and said, “Of course, I’m a little more inclined towards the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace, and the Cangxuan Sect should show some grace, right? I suggest the ladies get thirty percent.”

  “Why not suggest that the Sacred Palace distributes your fifty percent instead?” Jin Zhang smiled angrily.

  Fan Yao unhurriedly answered, “Isn’t that quite pointless. We’ve already conceded for the six color lake, you can’t expect us to also give in for the tree, right?”

  He revealed his eerily white teeth as he smiled. “Or do you guys think my Scared Palace is an easy target?”

  Zhou Yuan held back the angry Jin Zhang as he smiled and said, “Can I take it that we’re unable to come to an agreement?”

  Fan Yao sighed when he heard this and looked towards Tang Xiaoyan. “Junior sister Xiaoyan, it appears that the Cangxuan Sect’s appetite is a little big.”

  Tang Xiaoyan smiled faintly, but did not say anything. She could already detect the changes in the atmosphere. Fan Yao seemed to be trying to put them on the same side.

  However, she did not answer him directly, because she honestly did not trust him.

  Fan Yao’s gaze flickered upon seeing her avoidance of the topic. His hands lowered by his side as a voice wrapped in Genesis Qi was stealthily transmitted to Tang Xiaoyan and Zhao Ru. “Junior sister Xiaoyan, If you guys cooperate with us, we’ll split both the lake and tree fifty-fifty.”

  He had directly thrown out his offer, not bothering to hide anything.

  Tang Xiaoyan’s pupils widened a little, as she sent a covert glance in Zhou Yuan and Jin Zhang’s direction.

  In contrast, Zhao Ru licked her lips, clearly somewhat tempted as she shot Tang Xiaoyan a look.

  However, Tang Xiaoyan lightly shook her head. “Chief disciple Fan Yao, all three of us worked together to secure this location, I think it will be better to properly discuss things…”

  Fan Yao’s eyes narrowed a little. He seemed to ponder for a moment, before his somewhat regretful voice was transmitted again, “Since junior sister Xiaoyan thinks so highly of them, I will try and negotiate again. However, you guys will have to make some sacrifices.”

  Tang Xiaoyan’s expression remained unchanged, while a sliver of anxiousness and unwillingness flitted across Zhao Ru’s eyes.

  “What are you guys doing?!” Jin Zhang suddenly shouted at this moment, a guarded look in his eyes as he stared at Fan Yao, Tang Xiaoyan and the other two. The former had evidently already realized they were communicating in secret.

  Fan Yao chuckled softly as he moved closer to Tang Xiaoyan and Zhao Ru. “What do you think?”

  Jin Zhang’s suspicious gaze swept across Tang Xiaoyan, already suspecting that they may have come to a certain agreement to deal with the Cangxuan Sect.

  Tang Xiaoyan also realized this and attempted to explain.

  Boom!

  The instant she opened her mouth, however, Genesis Qi suddenly erupted from Fan Yao’s body as a sinisterly chilling light surged in his eyes.

  His five fingers clenched tightly as a punch was thrown, while the Genesis Qi in his body rushed out without reservation and gathered on his fist.

  His punch was as quick as galloping thunder.

  The punch viciously flew towards the back of the nearest Zhao Ru.

  Zhao Ru turned her head in shock when she felt the approaching force, only for disbelief and horror to flood her eyes at the sight of Fan Yao’s sinisterly twisted face.

  She never imagined that Fan Yao would attack her!

  Thud!

  Fan Yao’s sneak attack had been too decisive, giving Zhao Ru no time to react. The terrifying punch landed on her body, as a torrent of Genesis Qi exploded on her back.

  Urgh!

  A mouthful of fresh blood was vomited from Zhao Ru’s mouth, as her body twisted in agony. In the end, she fell from the sky and crashed into the six color lake
below.

  Giant waves rose from the surface of the lake.

  Time seemed to stop at this moment.

  Even Zhou Yuan was visibly shocked. He had likewise not expected that Fan Yao would suddenly attack the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace...

  This guy’s viciousness and boldness was truly alarming.

  Tang Xiaoyan returned to her senses at this moment as her pretty face turned ashen. Her kindly demeanor instantly vanished, replaced by an ice mountain like coldness as she stared daggers at Fan Yao.

  Fan Yao was expressionless as he gently rubbed his fist. He met Tang Xiaoyan’s chilling gaze head-on and grinned.

  “Tang Xiaoyan, since your Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace has spit on the respect I’ve given, and refuses to cooperate with us…”

  His frosty gaze turned towards Zhou Yuan.

  “You shall accompany them to hell.”

  Chapter 584 Chaos

  All it had taken was a split second for the sudden display of violence by Fan Yao to seriously injure Zhao Ru and send her plummeting into the water. Outside the six color lake, with the exception of the Sacred Palace disciples, the Cangxuan Sect, Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace and the other factions were thoroughly shocked by this scene.

  All of them had clearly not expected Fan Yao, who had just moments ago been trying to pull the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace over to his side, to suddenly stab them in the back...

  The shock only lasted for a moment, before rage began to burn in the eyes of the many Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace disciples. Their chilling gazes turned towards the Sacred Palace disciples in unison.

  “Despicable Sacred Palace!”

  “Kill them to avenge senior sister Zhao Ru!”

  The Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace disciples were clearly enraged by Fan Yao’s actions. They immediately swarmed out, sending a bombardment of Genesis Qi towards the Sacred Palace group.

  The Sacred Palace disciples did not panic, as they swiftly got into position to defend against the attacks.

  “What do we do?” Zhou Tai, Lu Yan and the others were still a little dumbstruck as they watched. They had previously been guarding against the Sacred Palace and Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace teaming up against them, only for the two groups to suddenly begin fighting.
