Chu Qing drew a deep breath and spread his hands out, palms facing up. In his body, there were little specks of dark yellow light rising. Those light specks gathered in his palm, gradually forming a miniature dark yellow shuttle shadow of around an inch tall.
The shuttle shadow, though slightly illusory, exuded an extremely dangerous aura.
When the shuttle shadow appeared, Chu Qing’s face grew a little pale.
“Spirit Severing Golden Shuttle?”
Jiang Taishen’s expression also changed slightly looking at the illusory shadow. This was Chu Qing’s strongest killing move.
This shuttle shadow required Chu Qing’s constant injection of Genesis Qi, essence and blood. And once created, it could tear the mountains. If it wasn’t his last resort, Chu Qing wouldn’t dare to sacrifice it because this shuttle shadow was not recoverable. That meant the long time he spent cultivating it would be wasted.
This object could only be used once!
But even Jiang Taishen was extremely afraid of its power.
“Chu Qing, are you really willing to part with it!” Jiang Taishen growled in a low voice.
Chu Qing smiled. “I have cultivated it for so long, it has to be put to use at some point. Otherwise what am I keeping it for?”
“I’m afraid your golden shuttle can’t kill me!” Jiang Taishen said coldly. Chu Qing’s golden shuttle was indeed very strong, but it alone couldn’t kill him.
Chu Qing smiled. “Perhaps it really can’t kill you, but if you want to block it, you will also have to pay a price. My Cangxuan Sect has already occupied the upper hand on the seventh peak. If I wound you here, I’m afraid the Sacred Palace won’t even have the qualification to compete for the other two peaks.”
The other two peaks he spoke of were of course what the other four major sects were competing for. Only the jade discs on these two other peaks could give birth to eight-color Divine Establishing Treasures.
And if the Sacred Palace was defeated here, they would have to retreat to the other two peaks to compete with the other four major sects.
But if Jiang Taishen was wounded along with Chu Qing, the other four sects may not be afraid of the Sacred Palace.
Jiang Taishen’s eyes flashed. He also thought of this, so he also did not dare act recklessly in his battle with Chu Qing. But then a thought flashed to his mind. Shifting his gaze onto another battlefield on the seventh peak, he coldly said, “Don’t be so happy too soon. When Zhan Taiqing wins, the upper hand will naturally return to my Sacred Palace’s side.”
He had almost forgotten that although Jin Chanzi was useless, they still at least had Zhan Taiqing!
Zhan Taiqing was much stronger than Jin Chanzi!
Chu Qing also lifted his head to look at somewhere on the mountainside with an elusive smile on his face.
“You’re going to place all hopes on Zhan Taiqing’s side now?”
He looked at a remarkably beautiful shadow somewhere. The corner of his mouth curved in a strange arc.
He was perhaps a little worried about Zhou Yuan at the beginning, but he was never once worried about Yaoyao.
Even Chu Qing was a little fearful of the mysterious Yaoyao.
Since Jiang Taishen thought that Zhan Taiqing could eliminate Yaoyao, then the final result would only make him more disappointed.
Chu Qing exhaled a long breath.
The situation of the battle on the seventh peak had begun to become clear.
And he understood that all this was not because of his existence, but because they had a chief disciple with extraordinary talent.
Gazing at the young figure on the peak, he couldn’t help but smile. Based on that boy’s progress, it most likely wouldn’t be long until Chu Qing had to hand over his position as the first Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect to him...
Chapter 656 Yaoyao’s Power
Boom!
Ferocious and frantic blood-red Genesis Qi roared out like an enraged dragon, colliding with the torrent of Spirit power ahead of it. The wind raged, tearing thousands of holes into the surroundings.
Zhan Taiqing’s figure flashed away. There was a chilling expression on her beautiful face. Even after fighting against Yaoyao for half a day, she still couldn’t dominate the battle. Yaoyao’s Spirit power was simply too frightening.
“Useless thing!”
Zhan Taiqing fixed her beautiful scarlet eyes on the peak. She clenched her teeth and couldn’t help but curse out loud.
Evidently, she was also aware that Jin Chanzi had lost his life.
She found this somewhat hard to believe. Although Jin Chanzi was a little weaker than her, it would still be difficult for her to kill him. But to think he was killed by a little chief disciple of the Cangxuan Sect?
How did that guy accomplish this?
Swoosh!
While she was distracted, ten Spirit needles suddenly emerged around her. They shot right at her.
Boom!
Blood-red Genesis Qi gushed out from Zhan Taiqing’s body to withstand the Spirit needles. She lifted her head to see that the beautiful figure of Yaoyao, who had a slightly dark look on her beautiful face, was close by.
Zhan Taiqing knew that the death of Jin Chanzi was extremely bad for the Sacred Palace.
Jiang Taishen most likely wouldn’t be able to defeat Chu Qing for a good while. Therefore, if she did not end her battle soon, Zhou Yuan would be the first to take the jade disc!
If that happened, the Sacred Palace would undoubtedly lose to the Cangxuan Sect in Mythic Utopia.
If they were to return to the Sacred Palace with such an outcome, even Chosen like them would most likely be punished.
Zhan Taiqing’s eyes flashed with a faint ominous glint. She had no choice but to step forward.
Yaoyao’s Spirit was incredibly strong, but her Genesis Qi and bodily strength were her weakness. As long as Zhan Taiqing was able to get close enough to launch an attack, Yaoyao would be easily defeated.
But...
Zhan Taiqing’s beautiful eyes flashed. She could feel that there were many invisible Spirit walls standing around her, blocking her. At the same time, they were also protecting Yaoyao so that Zhan Taiqing couldn’t come anywhere near her.
The Spirit barriers were incredibly strong, so strong that even she found it difficult to destroy.
However, it was only an unusual technique.
At this point Zhan Taiqing couldn’t hold back anything.
A chilling light came to her eyes, and she immediately let out a low roar, “Blood Burning Secret Art!”
Monstrous blood-red flames were fiercely raging out from Zhan Taiqing’s body. Her blood seemed to be burning, and her Genesis Qi was surging violently.
An astonishing oppressive force broke out from her body.
Zhan Taiqing’s Genesis Qi had merged with her blood, which began to burn because of the secret technique. Power would explode with the greatest force as a result of this. But there was also a repercussion to this secret method. In order to replenish the blood used in this technique, it was unknown just how much blood needed to be extracted from others’ bodies.
The ground around Zhan Taiqing was constantly collapsing.
She shot a cold glance at Yaoyao in the distance. “Little bitch, watch me tear you apart!”
Shua!
The moment her voice fell, her figure turned into a beam of blood light and shot out. A flood of blood-red Genesis Qi rushed past, shattering the layers of Spirit barriers in an instant.
Yaoyao remained expressionless when she saw this, and quickly retreated.
“You want to run away?” Zhan Taiqing sneered. Her speed soared, and in just a few seconds, she had torn down all the Spirit barriers and was quickly closing in on Yaoyao.
“The Great Blood Demon Technique!”
Following a whistling sound, Zhan Taiqing’s snowy white skin gradually glowed with red light. Her blood red fingernails elongated and ripped through the air.
Evidently, Zhan Taiqing had released all her comba
t powers.
In the face of such an attack, even Jiang Taishen would have trouble coping.
Shua!
Zhan Taiqing’s figure instantly neared Yaoyao, her blood-red nails transforming into remnants of shadow. They directly tore apart Yaoyao’s Spirit defense.
The two women were almost within reach of each other.
Zhan Taiqing’s red lips tilted in a cruel arc. “Without Genesis Qi, you can only solely rely on Spirit. What can you do? Watch me rip apart your pretty face!”
Her blood-like fingernails were like pointed awls. They tore through space and aimed for Yaoyao’s cheeks with lightning speed.
At such a distance, although there were Spirit barriers rapidly emerging in front of Yaoyao, Zhan Taiqing was destroying everything in the way.
Outside the mountains, countless people exclaimed out loud upon seeing this.
Chi!
Zhan Taiqing was ruthless. Before the whistling noises had faded, her blood red fingernails had already pierced Yaoyao’s cheeks with violent power.
Zhan Taiqing’s lips curved upwards.
You are definitely going to die this time!
However, just as the corners of her lips curved upwards, her pupils shrank, as she saw that there was no blood flowing from Yaoyao’s cheeks.
Yaoyao’s figure fluctuated slightly before gradually turning into nothingness.
“Spirit doppelganger?!”
Zhan Taiqing’s heart was crazily vibrating, eyes filled with disbelief. The figure in front of her was a Spirit doppelganger? How strong was Yaoyao’s Spirit? How could she produce a Spirit doppelganger?!
Zhan Taiqing rapidly retreated without hesitation.
However, as she rapidly retreated, the air rippled, and Yaoyao’s beautiful figure emerged right in front of her. Her long slender finger stretched out like a shadow. It was as though her fingers penetrated through space and reached Zhan Taiqing’s glabella with lightning speed.
Zhan Taiqing frantically retreated, but she still couldn’t avoid the slender finger.
A look of horror was finally emerging in her eyes.
Buzz!
The slim finger, without the slightest spark or wisp of smoke, landed between Zhan Taiqing’s brows. It was at that moment that a terrifying Spirit attack erupted.
Ah!
Zhan Taiqing let out a miserable screech. She was blasted away, blood flowing out her eyes, nose and ears.
There were no physical injuries, but her face was crossed with panic.
Yaoyao’s attack had directly struck her Spirit.
A large mouthful of blood spurted from Zhan Taiqing’s mouth, and there appeared to be a crack right between her eyebrows—a sign that her Spirit was about to be destroyed. Once the Spirit was broken, Zhan Taiqing would become a living dead person.
The sharp pain coming from her glabella made Zhan Taiqing’s beautiful face contort with horror. She frantically operated her Genesis Qi to rush to the center of her eyebrows and neutralise the Spirit attack. At the same time, she did not dare to stay any longer. She darted away and escaped in the direction of where the many disciples of the Sacred Palace were.
If she were to stay any longer, there was a real risk that her Spirit would be destroyed.
However, the fact that she was going to flee showed that she had failed in the fight against Yaoyao.
Jin Chanzi was already killed by Zhou Yuan, and now Zhan Taiqing was defeated in the hands of Yaoyao, with her Spirit severely damaged. This meant that the result of the battle between the Sacred Palace and the Cangxuan Sect on the seventh peak was obvious.
On the peak.
When Zhou Yuan sensed Zhan Taiqing’s defeat, he also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He was prepared to immediately rush to the rescue if there were any changes on Yaoyao’s side.
But evidently, he had still underestimated Yaoyao’s strength.
Although Zhan Taiqing was remarkable, Yaoyao’s strength was even more remarkable.
Zhou Yuan glanced at the foot of the mountain where Chu Qing and Jiang Taishen were still facing each other. Following the defeat of Jin Chanzi and Zhan Taiqing, the Sacred Palace had lost its momentum.
Even Jiang Taishen most likely couldn’t reverse the situation alone.
So Zhou Yuan shook his head and no longer paid attention to the other battles. Instead, under countless blazing gazes, he headed straight towards the mysterious jade disc that was lying quietly.
It was time for him to collect the fruits of victory.
He was anxious to see how many treasures were in the jade disc!
Chapter 657 Harvest
Countless eyes were fixed on Zhou Yuan who was heading for the jade disc. Their gazes were filled and blazing with envy. They knew that after experiencing the previous bitter battle, Zhou Yuan would be the first to achieve the fruits of victory on the seventh peak.
At the foot of the mountain, Jiang Taishen’s face darkened when he saw that Zhan Taiqing was also defeated. Watching Zhou Yuan get closer and closer to the Jade disc, he almost couldn’t suppress his Genesis Qi from gushing out.
But every time, Chu Qing’s eyes would become extremely aggressive and fierce, and the golden shuttle shadow that emerged on the palm of his hand would rapidly vibrate.
It was obvious that if Jiang Taishen did anything, Chu Qing would make sure that he was wounded with all the strength Chu Qing had, even if Chu Qing had to suffer along with him.
On the Sacred Palace’s side, Jin Chanzi was already killed and Zhan Taiqing was severely wounded. If Jiang Taishen were to fight until both sides suffered, then not only would the Sacred Palace fail to compete with the Cangxuan Sect on the seventh peak, there would be danger in competing for the other two jade discs that held eight-color Divine Establishing Treasures.
After all, even if the other four major sects were slightly less powerful, they still weren’t easy to deal with.
Therefore, Jiang Taishen’s expression changed several times before he finally suppressed his emotions. He stared intently at Zhou Yuan's figure, as if wanting to tear him up into shreds.
He likely had never thought that their Sacred Palace would lose to the Cangxuan Sect, who they had always suppressed in the Mythic Utopia.
And all this was because of Zhou Yuan.
If Jiang Taishen had known that this would be the result, he wouldn’t have held back the first time he had met Zhou Yuan, and he would have directly killed him.
Unfortunately, at that time he had not attached any importance to Zhou Yuan, nor did he view him as a threat.
In his view, how could a little chief disciple who wouldn’t even be qualified to participate in the battle among Chosen be a threat to him?
But from the looks of it, even with Jiang Taishen’s temperament, his heart was gushing with monstrous regret.
He really should have listened to Jin Chanzi and killed that guy right away!
.....
Zhou Yuan simply ignored the countless gazes that were all filled with different emotions. Chu Qing had to face Jiang Taishen, and Yaoyao had little interest in matters like these, so Zhou Yuan was the one who came to pick the peaches first.
His footsteps came to a stop in front of the mysterious jade disc, his eyes filled with astonishment.
The jade was about dozens of feet wide, which could be considered magnificent. There was a mysterious luster flowing around the jade. Even with Zhou Yuan’s Spirit detection, he found it difficult to inspect it with his Spirit power.
“How can I obtain this?” Zhou Yuan scratched his head.
He pondered for a moment and then suddenly and cautiously extended out his hand, gently stroking the jade disc. When his fingers came into contact with the jade, the surface suddenly rippled, and his fingers went right through.
Zhou Yuan drew a deep breath upon seeing this and took a huge step forward.
Buzz!
When his body came into contact with the jade disc, he suddenly entered the jade and disappeared under countless su
rprised gazes.
As Zhou Yuan stepped through the jade disc, a bright light bloomed. His eyes narrowed slightly and then slowly opened wide. It was as if he was situated in the starry sky.
There were specks of light fluttering, exuding gorgeous arrays of colors. It was remarkably beautiful.
Gazing at the groups of light, Zhou Yuan stretched out his hand and grasped tightly. His eyes rapidly shrank after he took a look.
The reason for this was because he saw that in that group of light, there was an object emitting dazzling light. It was a Divine Establishing Treasure!
Although it was just a four-color Divine Establishing Treasure...
Zhou Yuan looked up, admiring the dancing lights. The number here was simply in the hundreds, perhaps even in the thousands.
He was slightly shocked, but he recovered very soon. After all, the four-color Divine Establishing Treasures did not have much attraction to him. Thus, he continued forward.
The lights fluttered, sometimes hitting him and sometimes bouncing away.
And as he gradually walked deeper, he found that the Divine Establishing Treasures within the lights were more and more gorgeous. There were five colors, six colors...
Zhou Yuan quickened his pace.
In particular when he saw a seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure, his breathing grew hurried, and his eyes blazed.
He held out his hands. What landed on his palms were two spheres of light containing two seven-color Divine Establishing Treasures.
Everyone in the Mythic Utopia, even Jiang Taishen, Chu Qing and the others, most likely had obtained Divine Establishing Treasures at the seven-color level or below. The people of other sects might have gotten even less.
And right now, as he looked around, there were close to dozens of seven-color Divine Establishing Treasures.
“No wonder it’s the great opportunity.” Zhou Yuan sighed. If he were to take all the Divine Establishing Treasures found away with him, then the disciples of the Cangxuan Sect would certainly be able to establish more heavens when they step into the Divine Dwelling stage. It would be greatly beneficial for their future cultivation training.
Amongst them, there could even be experts of the Heavenly Sun stage, Nascent Source stage, or the Law Domain stage appearing.
