“His Highness Wu....Wu Huang...was killed by him?” A horrified voice rang out from the Great Wu’s direction, and immediately set off stormy waves. Wu Huang was the heir to the Great Wu so his status was extraordinary, but Zhou Yuan had destroyed his spirit!
“How is that possible? King Wu has said that His Highness Wu Huang joined the Sacred Palace and is ranked first on the Chosen List of the Shengzhou Continent because of his outstanding talent. Nobody of the young generation is a match for him!”
“Zhou Yuan managed to kill His Highness Wu Huang?!”
Boom!
Amidst the countless gasps of astonishment, King Wu’s face became twisted as he watched the light screen dissipated. A storm of frightening Genesis Qi suddenly burst forth from his body.
“You killed my son!”
King Wu's eyes were like a malicious ghost, staring intently at Zhou Yuan, and a bitter resentful voice roared out from the gaps between his teeth.
However, facing the storm of Genesis Qi erupted from King Wu's body, there wasn’t a ripple of emotion on Zhou Yuan’s face, “All the enmity started because of you.”
None of this would have happened had King Wu not taken the Qi of the Sacred Dragon.
King Wu continued to stare intently at Zhou Yuan with blood red eyes. It was only after a good while that he suddenly took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his rage.
It was just that the biting coldness in his eyes was enough to make people shudder all over.
King Wu slowly closed his eyes, saying, “What I now regret the most is that after taking the Qi of the Sacred Dragon, I did not kill you right away.”
“But since it has already happened....”
“It’s good that you are back. If you had hid in the Cangxuan Sect then there really is nothing I could do to you, but since you have come back, you can go on the journey with your father and mother. The most important thing for a family is to be together...”
“And after I kill your family, I will massacre the entire Great Zhou as an offering for my son...”
King Wu's voice faintly sounded across the Broken Dragon River. Although there weren’t much waves, the countless people on the city walls still turned pale, because they could feel the ruthless killing intent in King Wu's voice.
If that killing intent was poured out, it most likely could massacre the entire Great Zhou.
Evidently, Wu Huang's death had a huge impact on King Wu.
Zhou Yuan stood on the surface of the river, and wasn’t in the slightest angered by King Wu’s ruthless threats, “You may indeed have been able to destroy my Great Zhou, but from now on...it will be impossible.”
King Wu roared with laughter at the skies. His thunderous laugh caused his berserk Genesis Qi to set off waves rolling on the Broken Dragon River.
“Haha, because of you?!”
“If you are smart enough, then you should hide on the side and watch me massacre the Great Zhou. Wait until the day you step foot into the Divine dwelling stage to say those words to me again!”
King Wu's eyes, like a poisonous snake, locked on Zhou Yuan. A look of ridicule came onto his face, because from his observation, although Zhou Yuan possessed incredibly strong Genesis Qi, he hadn’t stepped foot into the Divine Dwelling stage.
On the Broken Dragon City walls, many worried eyes were also looking at the distant figure of Zhou Yuan. If Zhou Yuan hadn’t broke through to the Divine Dwelling stage, it was true that his return wouldn’t have much significance.
Qin Yu's hands were tightly clenched, and her face scrunched up in worry.
“But unfortunately, since you've come, don’t think of leaving now.”
“I want you to be buried today as an accompaniment to Wu Huang!”
King Wu roared skywards. The next moment, scarlet red Genesis Qi spewed out from his palm strike, forming a giant red palm of thousands of feet in the sky.
Boom!
The giant palm slammed down, tearing apart the surface of the Broken Dragon River below. The attack from a Divine Dwelling expert clearly revealed a Genesis Qi foundation that far surpassed the Alpha Origin Stage.
The scarlet red palm slammed down from the sky, striking where Zhou Yuan stood.
On the city walls, the generals and soldiers all gasped in shocked. King Wu’s attack was without any mercy, and clearly showed his strong murderous intent towards Zhou Yuan.
Rumble!
The giant red palm, under countless shocked gazes, perfectly struck Zhou Yuan. Genesis Qi raged out and tore a giant pit, where the depths of the Broken Dragon River could be seen......
The Genesis Qi wreaked havoc for a few moments before it gradually dissipated.
Zhou Qing, Qin Yu and others fixed their eyes on the river with their heart in their mouths.
Countless people on both sides of the armies were staring there unblinkingly.
There, the water vapour gradually dissipated, and then, everyone's pupils rapidly shrank, when they saw a figure hovering in the air.
King Wu’s expression also abruptly changed.
Countless people were astonished to see Zhou Yuan hovering in the air with the huge mottled black brush on his back. And behind him was a mysterious halo quietly suspended, swallowing the Genesis Qi of heaven and earth.
That figure strode out slowly, and at the same time, an incredibly calm voice leisurely echoed across the two armies.
“The Divine Dwelling stage?”
“Who said I wasn’t at that stage....”
Chapter 698 Chaos Halo
On the Broken Dragon River, countless shocked gazes were fixed on the young figure hovering in the sky. Of course, even more gazes were on the suspended light halo behind him.
The fluctuation of energy exuded from the light halo didn’t feel unfamiliar, because it was a sign that could only be possessed once stepped into the Divine Dwelling stage.
The halo of the Divine Dwelling!
That meant.....Zhou Yuan had already stepped foot into the Divine Dwelling stage?!
There was a moment of stillness on the battlefield.
Then, the next moment, deafening cheers broke out on the city walls of Broken Dragon City, and countless soldiers and generals’ faces were ablaze with excitement.
This was because the effect that a Divine Dwelling expert could bring on a battlefield was too terrifying. The most important reason why the Great Wu could completely suppress the Great Zhou was also because of the existence of King Wu, a Divine Dwelling expert...
The Divine Dwelling stage could be said to be invincible there.
Just as the Great Zhou had almost lost all hopes, the Divine Dwelling halo that Zhou Yuan showed made them see a ray of hope....
“Your Highness, your Highness has brokethrough to the Divine Dwelling!” Wei Canglan couldn’t help exclaiming.
Wei Qingqing also gaped at the distant figure in silence with her red lips wide open. She stared dumbly at his figure, her heart also extremely shaken.
“Divine Dwelling Stage....”
Black Venom King was similarly dumbstruck. He obviously didn’t expect the youngster who had once subdued him to be able to achieve that step in just a few years of time.
On the city walls, the other generals’ faces were also lit up with joy. The look of despair they had previously had instantly vanished as though never existed.
“Your Majesty is so blessed!” They one after another congratulated Zhou Qing, who was still in a state of shocked disbelief.
With his mouth wide opened, Zhou Qing turned to Qin Yu, who was staring at him.
Finally Qin Yu let out a gentle sigh, “I didn’t think Yuan’er would reach this stage so soon. He must haven’t relaxed at all in these years...”
She felt her heart aching when she said this. Zhou Yuan was talented, but to achieve this step, he must had been through many hardships.
“Heaven doesn’t want our Great Zhou to be destroyed.”
Zhou Qing drew a deep breath, his tensed body relaxed, and hi
s heart was also relieved of the heavy pressure he had before.
Zhou Yuan had showed the strength of the Divine Dwelling stage, which immediately made up for the greatest flaw of the Great Zhou. They had the power to fight the Great Wu once again.
However, Zhou Qing was somewhat puzzled studying the Divine Dwelling halo behind Zhou Yuan.
“...Yuan’er's Divine Dwelling halo, why does it feel somewhat different?”
.....
And while cheers broke out from the Great Zhou’s side, there was a somewhat cold atmosphere on the Great Wu’s side. Countless soldiers, had a change of expression on their faces, and the Alpha Origin experts’ expression also grew solemn.
Because they knew very well what the Divine Dwelling stage represented to the current battlefield.
It was just that nobody thought that Zhou Yuan could step into the Divine Dwelling stage at such a young age. His talent was indeed unbelievable.
In the sky, King Wu’s eyes were similarly fixed on the Divine Dwelling halo behind Zhou Yuan’s body. His face twitched slightly and a stormy sea was currently brewing in his heart.
“How could that boy of the Zhou family step into the Divine Dwelling stage?”
“According to the information I have received he should he be at the peak of the Alpha Origin stage...”
King Wu's face was dark. The fact that Zhou Yuan broke through to the Divine Dwelling stage could cause some changes to the situation.
“And why isn’t that boy’s Divine Dwelling halo showing any brilliance? How many Divine Dwellings did he open?”
.....
Zhou Yuan was also looking at the Divine Dwelling halo behind him with a strange face.
In truth, when he retrieved part of the Sacred Dragon Qi from Wu Huang, the Genesis Qi in his body was already soaring at an astonishing rate. He had been adjusting to the changes on his journey back from the Shengzhou Continent....
Before the completion of the breakthrough, Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi foundation had already reached the terrifying level of 300,000 Genesis Qi stars.
This was even stronger when compared to the Cangxuan old ancestor’s foundation when he broke through to the Divine Dwelling stage back then.
Therefore, when the Genesis Qi foundation reached 300,000, Zhou Yuan's Qi Dwelling also naturally began to evolve into a Divine Dwelling.
The most important time in the Divine Dwelling stage was the opening of Divine Dwelling, which would determine the rank and potential of the Divine Dwelling.
That time was also the important time for the Divine Establishing Treasure to display its divine ability.
But the problem that Zhou Yuan had was that Divine Establishing Treasures couldn’t enter his Qi Dwelling, because once inside, it would be swallowed by the ‘Heaven Punishment Saint Rune’ that had occupied his Qi Dwelling...
However, this problem didn’t trouble Zhou Yuan for too long. When the Divine Dwelling began to open, the ‘Heaven Punishment Saint Rune’ also made Zhou Yuan understand why it didn’t allow other Divine Establishing Treasures to appear....
Because having it was already enough.
Zhou Yuan let out a deep breath, and sank into the Qi Dwelling with one thought.
No, it should be called the Divine Dwelling now.
The inside of the Divine Dwelling was grey, misty, mysterious, and vast like the beginning of the world, and within the Divine Dwelling, there was nine layers born...
That’s correct. With the help of the Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune, Zhou Yuan opened up nine Divine Dwellings, which were rarely seen in the world…
“Nine Divine Dwellings....”
Even though Zhou Yuan had already repeatedly confirmed whether it was true or not, he still found it difficult to calm his mind. He felt a surge of emotions when he sensed the mysterious nine Divine Dwellings.
But in truth, Zhou Yuan also expected that result. After all, the fact that the Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune could swallow Eight-Colour Divine Establishing Treasures suggested that the Saint Rune had unbelievable abilities.
According to Zhou Yuan's speculation, even genuine Nine-Colour Divine Establishing Treasures couldn’t be compared to the Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune.
Because....
Zhou Yuan opened his eyes, a complicated look crossed his face as he looked at the Divine Dwelling Halo that had floated from behind him to the front.
Generally speaking, if nine Divine Dwellings were opened, then the brilliance emitted should be nine different colours.
But Zhou Yuan's divine halo wasn’t nine coloured, instead...was a mysterious colour that resembled chaos.
When Zhou Yuan broke through to the Divine Dwelling and opened up nine Divine Dwellings, he watched the number of colour of the halo increase one by one, until it finally reached nine dazzling colours.
But before he could feel excited by this change, the nine colours changed once again. The colour faded, and eventually turned into a chaotic colour that almost couldn’t be revealed.
At that time, he was even able to sense the mysterious fluctuations of energy from the Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune. It was obvious that the colour change of the halo of the Divine Dwelling was related to the Saint Rune again.
His Divine Dwelling seemed to have transformed once again.
“When I opened up the Qi Dwelling, it was turned a blood red colour by the Dragon’s Resentment Posion...”
“Now when I opened the Divine Dwelling, it was changed to a chaotic colour by the Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune...”
Zhou Yuan looked at the chaos halo in front of him, and sighed in a melancholy way.
Why did my nine-colour halo change? If the flashy colours were still there, it most likely would have turned King Wu’s facial expression many times more ugly than it was now.
“Sigh, chaotic colour....although isn’t very pretty, but it can fight, right?”
Zhou Yuan could only try to comfort himself like so.
Then he lifted his head and shifted his eyes onto King Wu’s dark face with a faint smile. Then, his eyes gradually turned biting cold.
“King Wu....”
“Now, we can put an end to the many years of enmity.”
Chapter 699 Against King Wu
King Wu stood tall in the sky, studying Zhou Yuan’s cold expression. He drew a deep breath, and immediately suppressed the surging emotions, “Arrogant boy, even if you have stepped into the Divine Dwelling stage, you only have a glimpse of the stage, while I have been there for many years.”
Numerous generals and soldiers on the Great Wu’s side nodded. That was indeed correct. Even if Zhou Yuan had stepped into the Divine Dwelling stage, he would only be at the beginning stage and King Wu should still have the upper hand.
Zhou Yuan sneered, “You have stepped foot into the Divine Dwelling for many years, but is still at the initial level. You’re not that impressive.”
The corners of King Wu’s mouth twitched slightly, “Nonsense!”
Boom!
This word faded and he no longer said anything else. He stamped his feet and crimson red Genesis Qi erupted from his body, turning the entire sky red.
Ferocious Genesis Qi pressure spread out, like red clouds. If that majestic strength were measured in terms of Genesis Qi stars then it most likely would have reached at least one million!
As powerful Genesis Qi shrouded the entire battlefield, many Alpha Origin experts revealed a look of awe. Their Genesis Qi stars most likely were only over ten thousands, which was hundred times less than that of King Wu.
This was the absolute strength of the Divine Dwelling stage!
It wasn’t something that an expert of the Alpha Origin stage could compete with.
Of course, based on the Genesis Qi foundation, King Wu was certainly at the initial stage of the Divine Dwelling, though he most likely had reached the peak of the initial stage....
On the walls of Broken Dragon city, Zhou Qing, Wei Canglan and others’ faces also had turned solemn. A fo
undation of millions of Genesis Qi stars was simply too terrifying to them.
“Your Highness has only just entered the Divine Dwelling stage, and his foundation is probably not as deep as that of King Wu.” Wei Canglan remarked in a concerned voice.
Zhou Qing nodded, “If Yuan’er isn’t strong enough then activate the battle puppets to help.”
Now that they also had a Divine Dwelling expert on their side, the advantage that the Great Wu had was greatly weakened. Although they may not beat the Great Wu, they hoped to at least drag the situation to a stalemate.
Wei Canglan and others accepted the order with a nod. Zhou Yuan was the Great Zhou’s last hope. So long as they could protect him, there would be hope for the Great Zhou.
When everybody present was being suppressed by King Wu's Genesis Qi, Zhou Yuan lifted his head. The crimson red sky reflected in his pupils, but there wasn’t much amazement in his eyes, instead he just laughed, “A foundation of millions is indeed terrifying.”
The gap between the Alpha Origin stage and the Divine Dwelling stage was too great. If he hadn’t broke through to the Divine Dwelling stage, then no matter how many trump cards he had, it would have been difficult for his foundation to reach one million.
“It’s too late to regret your actions now!”
King Wu sneered. He only had killing intent towards Zhou Yuan. The fact that Zhou Yuan had stepped foot into the Divine Dwelling stage at such a young age was enough to show his terrifying talent, and if he was given some more time, the Great Wu most likely would be destroyed in his hand.
So King Wu had made up his mind to get rid of the trouble once and for all!
Boom!
As the murderous spirit surged, King Wu’s hands rapidly folded in hand seals. His Divine Dwelling halo drifted in front of him, and suddenly rotated.
Buzz!
Overwhelming Genesis Qi whizzed out, drilling directly into the halo of the Divine Dwelling.
Rumble!
In the next instant, a pillar of crimson red light spurted out from the Divine Dwelling halo, like a red dragon, causing the space to vibrate, and aimed directly for Zhou Yuan’s head.
That torrent of Genesis Qi wasn’t only vast, but also extremely condensed. Evidently, once stepped into the Divine Dwelling stage, one’s control of Genesis Qi would be much stronger than when at the Alpha Origin stage.
