Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

by Translator: Yeow

  But Zhou Yuan had completely refined the third and fourth Genesis Runes in two months!

  This speed was too terrifying!

  It had only been a year since Zhou Yuan joined the four pavilions. Many former pavilion masters could only refine three Genesis Runes before they finished training and left the four pavilions. Refining three was already considered a success, and they never even dared to think of refining the fourth Genesis Rune!

  Even Lu Xiao’s face was twitching at this moment. Although he knew that Zhou Yuan had solely focused on refining the two remaining Genesis Runes during his closed-door cultivation, he wasn’t confident that Zhou Yuan would succeed. After all, it was hard to believe someone could completely refine one rune in one month.

  Zuo Ya’s mouth was wide open, but no sound came forth.

  Lu Xiao continued to stare at the light mirror, and his serious expression didn’t relax because he knew that even if Zhou Yuan had the four runes on his body, he might not be able to reverse the situation. He knew that Chen Xuandong had to also possess similar foreign objects that could enhance his strength.

  Zhou Yuan still didn’t have much of an advantage.

  .....

  Boom!

  Vast and mighty Genesis Qi erupted from Zhou Yuan’s body like a monstrous wave. Everyone could feel Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi skyrocket at an astonishing rate.

  25 million…

  29 million…

  30 million!

  When the number of Genesis Qi stars in the void surpassed 30 million, the rate of increase didn’t slow but continued to climb steadily. In the end, amidst countless shocked gazes, it stopped at 36 million.

  36 million Genesis Qi stars!

  The four Genesis Runes had directly strengthened Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi foundation by 13 million!

  Zhou Yuan stood tall in the void, and the pressure from his mighty Genesis Qi caused the void to shake violently. His eyes were like knives staring coldly at Chen Xuandong, who revealed a surprised look.

  “The four spirit runes of the Tianyuan Region are indeed remarkable.”

  The spirit runes had increased Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi foundation by more than 13 million. They were indeed worthy of being the four pavilions’ symbol.

  Feeling the immense power flowing in his body, Zhou Yuan drooped his eyes as he said, “I know that the Tri-Mountain Alliance also has a similar means of strengthening the Genesis Qi foundation. You should also bring it out; otherwise, the battle will be too boring.”

  He was clearly using Chen Xuandong’s previous words back at him.

  The corners of Chen Xuandong’s eyes visibly twitched. “But I want to first test the strength of your 36 million Genesis Qi stars.”

  Chen Xuandong was an incredibly proud person. He believed that his strength and techniques, as well as his ranking on the Divine Dwelling List, were superior to Zhou Yuan’s, so he didn’t want to be forced to show his trump cards immediately.

  As his voice faded, his eyes turned biting cold. He stamped his feet, sending the black spear in his hand shooting into the sky. It turned into a black torrent piercing through the void. A black qilin, enveloped in terrifying power, seemed to take shape beyond the black torrent.

  The black torrent moved at an astonishing speed, appearing in front of Zhou Yuan in the blink of an eye.

  But even as he faced such a fierce attack, Zhou Yuan’s expression remained indifferent. Standing in the void, he slowly clenched his hand, and hairs gushed out from his pores, wrapping his fist before turning black.

  Zhou Yuan clenched his hand tight and threw a punch at the black torrent.

  Clang!

  A loud metallic clang rang out, and the black torrent suddenly dissipated under everyone’s eyes. Even a tragic cry could be heard. Then, a beam of black shot backwards, reverting back into a spear and landing beside Chen Xuandong. The light around the spear was much duller than before.

  The corners of Chen Xuandong’s mouth twitched.

  Not only was all his Genesis Qi gathered in that previous attack, but the black qilin spear had also strengthened it. Despite this, Zhou Yuan had dealt with it easily.

  It was clear that Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi foundation of 36 million was frighteningly solid.

  “Do you want to continue?” Zhou Yuan asked.

  Chen Xuandong’s eyes grew colder. “Since you are in a hurry to embarrass yourself, I will fulfill your request!”

  He folded his hands together and performed countless hand seals in an instant.

  Endless Genesis Qi diffused from his body, rapidly transforming into three towering mountains behind him.

  Watching the three massive mountain shadows emerge, exclamations of surprise broke out, “That’s the Tri-Mountain Alliance’s Tri-Mountain Spirit Seals!”

  “It is said that each Tri-Mountain Spirit Seal symbolizes the foundation of around three million Genesis Qi stars, and once all three mountains form, they can increase one’s foundation by ten million!”

  “It’s just that this technique can only be practiced by the core disciples of the Tri-Mountain Alliance, unlike the four spirit runes, which any member of the four pavilions can refine.”

  “The Tianyuan Region is part of the nine regions and was created by supreme sovereign Cang Yuan. The Tri-Mountain Alliance is naturally lacking in comparison.”

  “But this is all insignificant. As soon as Chen Xuandong releases his Tri-Mountain Spirit Seals, his foundation will soar to 40 million Genesis Qi stars, which will be far greater than Zhou Yuan’s.”

  “Yes, the gap between them is too great. Zhou Yuan is too naive to think that he could close the gap in foundation with the four spirit runes.”

  “.....”

  Countless cries of disappointment could be heard throughout the Tianyuan Region’s 800 prefectures. They had felt a glimmer of hope when they had seen Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi foundation skyrocket, but they hadn’t expected their hopes to be crushed in the blink of an eye.

  Chen Xuandong hovered in the void with 40 million Genesis Qi stars flickering behind him. He peered down at Zhou Yuan with a condescending sneer. “Is it enough now?

  “The Tri-Mountain Spirit Seals of my Tri-Mountain Alliance is in no way inferior to the four spirit runes of your Tianyuan Region!”

  Zhou Yuan glanced at the arrogant and overbearing Chen Xuandong with a grin, then shook his head, “No, your Tri-Mountain Spirit Seals are in fact much worse than the four spirit runes.”

  Chen Xuandong sneered, “Ridiculous!”

  Zhou Yuan calmly said, “You think this is the limit of the four spirit runes?”

  Chen Xuandong’s pupils shrank, and he spoke in a cold, emotionless voice. “What are you being mysterious for?”

  Zhou Yuan shook his head and didn’t say anything more. Instead, he folded his hands together and produced a mysterious and complex seal.

  There was only a gap of three million Genesis Qi stars between them. It wasn’t that Zhou Yuan couldn’t accept this Genesis Qi gap. If he really had to fight with all his strength and couldn’t win in terms of Genesis Qi, he wouldn’t let Chen Xuandong have too many advantages.

  But Zhou Yuan didn’t think it was necessary.

  Since Chen Xuandong was most proud of his tyrannical Genesis Qi foundation, Zhou Yuan intended to defeat him in his proudest field of expertise.

  Zhou Yuan slowly closed his eyes.

  The four ancient Genesis Runes on the back of his hands, the center of his brows and his heart began to beam light. The rays intertwined on Zhou Yuan’s skin and gradually formed a mysterious pattern.

  In the air, Chi Jing suddenly smiled. She looked at Zhou Yuan and then shifted her gaze to sect master Xuan Kun and others, saying, “How many people still remember the ultimate form of the four spirit runes my master once mentioned?”

  Sect master Xuan Kun and others were taken aback, and then they scrunched their brows.

  They all vaguely remembered, but no one had reached the ultimate form ever since the e
stablishment of the Four Spirits Origin Tower since very few people had managed to refine all four spirit runes completely.

  “What is the ultimate form?” asked sect master Xuan Kun.

  Chi Jing smiled. “The four runes form a formation known as…”

  Zhou Yuan’s eyes snapped open, and a low voice sounded from his mouth.

  “The Four Spirits Origin Diagram!”

  An ancient pattern slowly emerged on the surface of Zhou Yuan’s skin.

  And following the ancient pattern’s appearance, Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi, which had stagnated, suddenly surged once again.

  All across the world, a look of shocked disbelief surfaced in everyone’s eyes.

  Chapter 912 Four Spirits Origin Diagram

  Boom!

  Mighty Genesis Qi erupted from Zhou Yuan’s body like a volcano. The Genesis Qi and the void vibrated, producing thunderous sounds that shook the world.

  Many people stared at the scene in shocked disbelief.

  They could clearly feel that Zhou Yuan’s foundation of 36 million Genesis Qi stars was surging once again.

  38 million…

  40 million…

  His Genesis Qi foundation stopped at 42 million.

  The entire world went silent, and countless people widened their eyes in shock.

  42 million!

  His foundation had increased by another six million stars!

  Countless people stared dumbstruck at Zhou Yuan hovering in the void with monstrous Genesis Qi behind him. Who wouldn’t know it was incredibly difficult for people of their level to increase their Genesis Qi, and how much effort and opportunity would one need to do so? Despite this, Zhou Yuan’s foundation had still increased by almost 20 million!

  His original Genesis Qi foundation was only at 23 million stars!

  This increase was simply terrifying to hear.

  On the round platform of the Four Spirits Origin Tower in Tianyuan Utopia, the members of the four pavilions were all paralyzed with astonishment. Even the three pavilion masters, Lu Xiao, Mu Liu and Han Yuan, wore terrified expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

  It was a good while later when a member of the four pavilions cried out, “What is that thing?!”

  “How can the four spirit runes have this form? I haven’t heard of it before!”

  “The four spirit runes can have a second round of increase?!”

  “What is going on here?”

  “......”

  Even Yi Qiushui and Ye Bingling exchanged glances with one another. It was the first time they had seen or even heard that the four spirit runes could induce a second round of growth.

  “Senior brother Lu Xiao, what is happening?” Zuo Ya murmured dazedly.

  Lu Xiao stared into the light mirror at the figure emitting monstrous Genesis Qi. His gaze was complex. “It seems that our understanding of the four spirit runes is too superficial. If I’m not mistaken, the second round of increase from Zhou Yuan’s four spirit runes can only be achieved by gathering all four spirit runes together.”

  Everyone next to them fell silent. To gather the four spirit runes...for them, it was something that they didn’t even dare to think about.

  Even Lu Xiao didn’t have the confidence to refine all four spirit runes completely before he had to leave the four pavilions.

  What kind of demon was their chief pavilion master?

  At this moment, almost everyone, including disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, couldn’t help but feel awestruck. When someone surpassed you, you would feel anxious to catch up, but when you suddenly discovered it was impossible to catch up, you wouldn’t be able to help but look at them in awe.

  Even Zuo Ya wore a cloudy expression as she bowed her head.

  Lu Xiao let out a sigh. He had improved in the previous two months, but compared to Zhou Yuan’s improvement, his was simply a world of difference. If the two were to face off against each other again, Lu Xiao knew that he wouldn’t even withstand three rounds.

  The person he had looked down on had now completely surpassed him and left him behind.

  ....

  Above the deep crevice.

  Zhou Yuan, whom countless people watched with shocked gazes, twisted his neck slightly. Feeling the new surging power in his body for the first time, he felt a little satisfied.

  “I gained another six million Genesis Qi stars...”

  Zhou Yuan peered down at the ancient and mysterious pattern that had formed on the surface of his skin, and the corners of his lips curved upwards. When he completed the third Genesis rune, he already knew that there would be another wonderful change when the four runes were gathered together.

  It was the Four Spirits Origin Diagram.

  Awakening it wasn’t as simple as refining the four spirit runes. Each spirit rune needed to increase one’s Genesis Qi by at least 3.5 million stars. This was due to the fact that the higher the increase, the greater the compatibility was between one’s Genesis Qi and the four spirit runes.

  Except for Zhou Yuan, nobody in the four pavilions was able to do so.

  Even Lu Xiao’s, Mu Liu’s and Han Yuan’s spirit runes could at most achieve an increase of three million.

  Zhou Yuan could achieve this not because of just his talent and strong Spirit cultivation level but also because of the compatibility brought about by the Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method. In other words, not everyone could touch upon the ultimate form. From ancient times till then, he was most likely the only person able to do so.

  Zhou Yuan lifted his head to look at Chen Xuandong’s figure in the distant void.

  Chen Xuandong’s complexion alternated between blue and pale, and his eyes were wide with disbelief. It was evident that the increase in Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi had a significant impact on him.

  “How can there be a secret technique that increases Genesis Qi to such an extent?” Chen Xuandong couldn’t help but roar in protest when he felt the waves of mighty pressure surging in the distance.

  It wasn’t that he had no knowledge of the four pavilions’ four spirit runes, but there had never been such a strange change from the information he had gathered.

  A Genesis Qi foundation of 42 million!

  This was two million more than his!

  Chen Xuandong found the difference in stars hard to accept because his Genesis Qi foundation was his greatest pride. He had exhausted all his means but still found that Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi foundation was stronger than his.

  Zhou Yuan glanced at Chen Xuandong indifferently and wasn’t interested in explaining too much to him. Instead, he clenched his hand, and the Genesis Qi behind him suddenly vibrated.

  Chi!

  His figure vanished in an instant.

  He reappeared in front of Chen Xuandong and thrust out a punch. A torrent of mighty Genesis Qi roared out, wrapped in terrifying power, and directly aimed for Chen Xuandong.

  “You only have two million Genesis Qi stars more than me. Do you really think you have a chance of winning?!” Chen Xuandong’s eyes were filled with anger upon seeing Zhou Yuan’s attack. He was a top heaven pride who had earned a remarkable battle record over the years. He had defeated opponents with stronger Genesis Qi foundations than him in the past, since the outcome of a battle was also determined by other factors.

  Chen Xuandong tightened his grip on the black spear. The spear light trembled in the void and collided with the torrent of ferocious Genesis Qi.

  Bang!

  A boom resounding in the void as the two powerful Genesis Qis clashed.

  The clouds in the sky tore apart.

  Many people then saw a figure shooting out in embarrassment. It was...Chen Xuandong!

  Gasps of astonishment echoed throughout the crowd because it was the first time that Zhou Yuan countered Chen Xuandong.

  Chen Xuandong’s face darkened, and his eyes glinted with malice.

  Another deafening boom sounded, and Zhou Yuan’s figure sped out. A pair of mysterious wings stretched
out from his body, swallowing the Genesis Qi between heaven and earth to strengthen his body further.

  Zhou Yuan’s skin was glowing with a jade light.

  The feeling that Zhou Yuan gave Chen Xuandong at this moment was akin to a ferocious beast!

  Incomparable danger!

  But no matter how dangerous Zhou Yuan was, Chen Xuandong had no intention of retreating. A crimson light emerged in his eyes as he hissed, “You think I’ll be afraid?!”

  “Tri-Mountain Divine Armour Art!”

  Chen Xuandong roared, and the three tremendous mountains appeared in the void behind him. They converged on his body and transformed into a layer of tri-colored armor. His power skyrocketed, and his every movement seemed to possess the power of three huge mountains.

  Armed with a black spear, he shot out and collided with Zhou Yuan.

  Boom!

  High in the air, two figures wrapped in terrifying Genesis Qi collided repeatedly. The two people were like flashes of lightning; their attacks resembled torrential storms, bombarding their opponents and causing the void to tremble violently.

  Some of the experts present who were also at the advanced Divine Dwelling stage felt fearful as they watched the battle between the two. If they were on the battleground, the two would have most likely killed them within ten breaths.

  The two representatives were indeed worthy of being called the super dark horses on the Divine Dwelling List.

  But anyone could tell that, in this fierce drawn-out battle, Chen Xuandong was suppressed from the beginning.

  After all, there was initially a gap in Genesis Qi between Chen Xuandong and Zhou Yuan, but Zhou Yuan had not only closed the gap but had even caught up with Chen Xuandong. As a result, the situation had immediately changed, and Chen Xuandong suffered from the suppression of Genesis Qi.

  Boom!

  A ray of light shot down from high above, striking the deep side of the cliff. The mountain wall cracked, and Chen Xuandong’s entire body was deeply embedded in the cliff. Massive cracks stretched out like cobwebs.

  Chen Xuandong was desperately struggling inside the cliff wall. Blood trickled down the corners of his mouth, and his tri-colored divine armor was riddled with cracks.
