“You’re quite capable and not just impressive-looking!"
With a flick of her wrist, Jiang Hongying brought crimson light surging across the sky like a sea of flames. The sea of flames suddenly spurted out countless crimson-red flecks and hurled down at Zhou Yuan like a rainstorm.
Within every speck of crimson light was a mini fire dragon roaring. They looked small but they emitted frantic power.
And when they rained down in such numbers, they looked even more terrifying.
“Crimson Dragon Rain!”
Countless red flecks of light enlarged before Zhou Yuan's eyes. He tightened his grip around the Heavenly Yuan Brush and suddenly brought it up.
Roar!
“Million Whale!”
As the mottled black brush swung down, only ancient whale roars could be heard echoing across the world. The surrounding space collapsed as a gigantic ancient whale shadow emerged and collided into the countless specks of crimson lights like a huge meteor.
Bang!
The collision resulted in dazzling light raging across the area and created deafening rumbles.
Berserk shock waves repeatedly pushed Jiang Hongying back. Her face turned icy and the crimson spear flashed out her grip. It unleashed a dragon roar and transformed into a crimson dragon. It cut through the air and clutched onto the other figure within the Genesis Qi shock waves.
But when the crimson dragon took shape, a beam of black light pierced through space.
It was a giant jet-black beast.
The giant beast, formed from countless black hair, was extremely tough, but if one saw through the countless hair, one would see a mottled black brush buzzing in the depths to maintain the transformation.
As the giant black beast roared, it inhaled and exhaled universe Genesis Qi that contained equally terrifying power. In addition, upon closer, one would notice the giant black beast was identical to Tuntun's battle form.
Tuntun pursed his lips when he saw this scene. Zhou Yuan dared to copy my image!
Roar!
The crimson dragon and the giant black beast collided in the void, and then furiously tore into each other with its teeth. The power erupted from the clash made many onlookers shudder.
The two weapons were close to the level of a Saint object. Otherwise they couldn’t complete such a transformation.
However, it was understandable that Zhou Yuan and Jiang Hongying possessed such treasures given their status.
Many experts within the area were somewhat mesmerized by the match between the two. They could feel the two hadn’t held back their strength and every attack was particularly merciless. Ordinary grade 7 experts likely couldn’t survive in a battle of such a level.
"Zhou Yuan is so abnormal. He’s only at the advanced Nascent Source stage yet he could match up to Jiang Hongying, who has made a name for herself years ago. No wonder even the Sacred Race suffered in his hands,” Meng Chong said with a sigh.
Meng Chong was considered one of the strongest at the grade 7 stage in Wanshou Heaven, but even so, he knew he wouldn’t have an upper hand against either of those two.
“Who do you think will win?”An expert from the Divine Tiger Clan asked curiously behind Meng Chong.
Meng Chong pondered for a moment and said, "It should be Jiang Hongying. Although she’s unreasonable, her means and strength shouldn’t be underestimated.”
He ran his hand over his chest and stroked the hideous scar that Jiang Hongying left during a match.
That woman is really terrifying.
While Meng Chong was speaking, a stream of silvery light tore through the terrifying Genesis Qi shock waves and directly struck Jiang Hongying. A fist shadow descended and the space quaked with an earthshaking boom.
“You dared to take the initiative to attack?”
Jiang Hongying's eyes turned chilling. She moved forward to face the attack head-on. The terrifying power contained within her slender body fluctuated.
Dong!
Two figures collided like lightning over hundreds of times in the space above.
Every collision was like two lightning bolts crashing in midair.
However, Jiang Hongying's expression grew increasingly unpleasant as the fierce match continued. She found that Zhou Yuan's strength had strangely increased. They were equally matched before, but now she noticed her qi and blood were surging.
“Huh?”
Jiang Hongying swept a glance over Zhou Yuan and saw silvery runes spreading across his body. The runes emitted a mysterious glow like living creatures. The silver runes flashed frantically every time her power invaded Zhou Yuan's body as though breaking down her power.
“Have you finally noticed?”
Zhou Yuan grinned at Jiang Hongying. But his smile was full of chilling intent.
The silvery runes on his body were of course formed from Silver Shadow!
He gradually suppressed Jiang Hongying with the help of Silver Shadow's power.
“Silver Shadow!”
Zhou Yuan turned his hand over and the surrounding space suddenly vibrated. As his platinum Genesis Qi roared, it transformed into a tremendous Genesis Qi palm with countless silver runes quickly spreading across. The palm suddenly slammed down towards Jiang Hongying.
The platinum palm crashed down like a platinum tower.
Jiang Hongying let out a fierce roar as she countered with a punch. Amidst deafening dragon roar, a huge dragon claw emerged and crushed the space around.
Boom!
The two collided, creating waves of qi that wreaked havoc across thousands of miles.
Bang!
Amidst astonished gazes, Jiang Hongying quivered violently and the platinum palm blasted her back. She plunged down the sky like a meteor and tore a bottomless pit into the ground.
Zhou Yuan unexpectedly gained the upper hand!
Gasps of surprise rang out in rapid succession.
"Tsk, amazing, he even struck the savage female dragon.” Meng Chong couldn’t help marvelling.
But he immediately shook his head after that and said, “But the savage female dragon is likely going to erupt…"
He shifted his gaze to Jiang Ba and other Mystic Dragon Clan members in midair. They were looking indifferently at the scene and even cast mocking glances at Zhou Yuan.
Boom!
A strange sound erupted from the deep pit.
Then, everyone saw a beautiful figure slowly floating up. That beautiful figure was of course Jiang Hongying.
Her armor was slightly cracked and many wounds were left on her beautiful flesh, but her face was as icy as ever and monstrous flames blazed in her crimson eyes.
Anyone could feel the savage female dragon’s rage.
She lifted her head, looking at Zhou Yuan with a cold glare.
Then, under shocked gazes, she unexpectedly knelt down on one knee slowly in front of Zhou Yuan and folded her hands in a seal, which from a distance, looked like a sacrificial ceremony.
No one thought Jiang Hongying was surrendering because they could feel the universe Genesis Qi rioting.
Meng Chong stroked his face and stared intently at Jiang Hongying. “That woman is really angry.”
“What do you mean?” asked someone next to him.
Meng Chong's voice was low but full of fear.
“It’s the Mystic Dragon Clan's Greater Saint Genesis art…the Imperial Dragon Bows to Heaven!”
Chapter 1247 Four Bows
When Jiang Hongying knelt down on one knee in midair and folded her hands in a strange seal, the whistling wind stilled and the universe Genesis Qi began to riot.
Boom!
The universe Genesis Qi within tens of thousand miles rolled over and formed a beautiful spectacle of countless clouds of Genesis Qi.
Many cast stunned gazes towards Jiang Hongying.
The Mystic Dragon Clan’s ancestor was also an Alpha Holy Beast. The clan had an ancient bloodline and was a prestigious clan in the ancient period. Gradually, the bloodline evolv
ed into the Mystic Dragon Clan.
Their Alpha Holy Beast ancestor was known as the Imperial Dragon.
The technique that Jiang Hongying used was the Mystic Dragon Clan’s greater Saint Genesis art called the Imperial Dragon Bows to Heaven.
There were said to be nine bows in the technique, and anyone below the Saint stage would be annihilated under the nine bows.
The Imperial Dragon Bows to Heaven naturally referred to bowing to the heaven and earth and could influence the world’s mighty power. Only someone at the Saint stage could withstand the bow of the Imperial Dragon.
It was unknown how many experts had perished under the Mystic Dragon Clan’s Imperial Dragon Bows to Heaven technique. As a result the technique gained the title of the strongest art in the Mystic Dragon Clan.
Jiang Hongying was no doubt enraged since she used such a technique. She wanted to compete against Zhou Yuan to see who was stronger.
Zhou Yuan soared into the air. As he peered at Jiang Hongying, who was kneeling down in midair, his expression grew increasingly serious. The center of his brows throbbed with pain as though sensed a strong aura of danger. The technique that Jiang Hongying was about to use was clearly terrifying.
A light flashed in his eyes and he immediately made a move. He thrust his palm forward and platinum Genesis Qi rushed out like a waterfall in the air. It fiercely sped towards Jiang Hongying.
Boom!
But just as the Genesis Qi torrent came to within 100 feet of Jiang Hongying, it exploded into a series of scattered lights in the sky.
Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes. Jiang Hongying's surroundings were filled with terrifying Genesis Qi, which made it difficult for anything to pass through.
Boom!
Endless Genesis Qi converged behind Jiang Hongying as if forming an ocean with no end in sight. Waves lifted high up in the Genesis Qi ocean and eventually formed a giant illusory dragon.
The dragon silhouette emitted indescribably ancient qi, as if it was the first dragon that appeared in the world after the Ancestral Dragon formed all living beings when the world first began.
The word dragon in its name suggested that it had a good harvest when the Ancestral Dragon formed all beings.
In terms of ranking, there were few existences that could compare with it even amongst Alpha Holy Beasts.
When the illusory ancient dragon silhouette appeared, everyone present felt a strange oppressive pressure that slowed their flow of blood, like they were carrying a heavy mountain.
Jiang Hongying looked at Zhou Yuan with an icy stare and then bowed her upper body and raised her hands that were folded together in a seal.
"Imperial Dragon Bows to Heaven, my first bow!”
The tremendous ancient dragon silhouette behind her also bowed down.
Boom!
As a loud roar reverberated across the world, Zhou Yuan felt a terrifying force descending. That force seemed to be coming from all directions and pushed through his every pore as if to crush him.
Zhou Yuan’s face turned cold and solemn. The 7 inch Nascent Source in his Divine Dwellings exploded with monstrous Genesis Qi that flooded his bones and limbs.
The Saint Glass Light also bloomed from his body.
In the end, the tremendous power only made Zhou Yuan quiver a little.
But Zhou Yuan didn’t dare to relax because of that. He knew it was just the beginning.
As he thought, Jiang Hongying's face didn’t ripple at all. She bowed her body once again!
“The second bow!”
“The third bow!”
The two consecutive bows made the entire world quake and even the several Genesis Qi defenses around Zhou Yuan almost instantly crumbled to pieces and turned to flecks of light.
His body plunged down thousands of feet in the air.
Fortunately, he managed to steady himself in the end.
A flush rushed to Zhou Yuan's face as he stared sharply at Jiang Hongying. He grinned and said, "Your Mystic Dragon Clan's technique can easily make people misunderstand. But I’m curious to know how many more times you can bow!”
Although the technique was powerful, Zhou Yuan could feel that Jiang Hongying was under extreme pressure to perform such an art.
Jiang Hongying's eyes were icy as she said coldly, "Enough to get rid of you.”
Her hands trembled as she tried to maintain the hand seal and blood began to seep out from her skin. But she drew a deep breath and forcibly suppressed her Genesis Qi that was rioting in her body and bowed once again.
“The fourth bow!”
The bow was very difficult, but she still completed it.
Boom!
There seemed to be a clap of thunder echoing around the sky, and then, everyone saw the space around Zhou Yuan collapsed as if forming a huge black hole.
All the defences around Zhou Yuan burst apart and his figure plunged from the sky, smashing into a mountain peak. The peak collapsed into a pit and buried Zhou Yuan in the depths.
Many people couldn't help gulping.
Jin Zhong and others also turned ashen-faced. Zhou Yuan lost?
“At least he didn’t die shamefully since he could force Hongying to bow four times.” Jiang Ba said indifferently.
Under awed gazes, Jiang Hongying still maintained the same kneeling posture. She peered down at the deep pit and uttered, “Zhou Yuan, it’s impressive that you could push me this far, but I am still disappointed. After all, your reputation resonates throughout all-heavens.”
She shook her head and turned her gaze to Tuntun, Jin Zhong and the others. "I won, please fulfil the bet.”
Jin Zhong and the others reddened with anger, but Tuntun lazily swept a glance over her. He took out a stone slab and wrote, “You won? Eat my fart!”
Jiang Hongying flushed with anger. He is an Alpha Holy Beast, and in terms of status, is almost comparable to our Mystic Dragon Clan’s ancestor, but why does he behave like a thug!? Every word that comes out his mouth is so foul!
But just when she was about to say something, her expression abruptly changed. She immediately peered at the pit below, where she noticed abnormal waves of Genesis Qi.
“He can still move?”
Jiang Hongying lifted her beautiful hand and rolled up the several boulders and rocks with Genesis Qi.
As rocks whirled everywhere, everyone’s expression turned astonished when they saw a miserable-looking figure rising from the deep pit. But what was most shocking was the huge golden bell on the figure’s shoulder.
The golden bell was deep and there seemed to be terrifying rays of light flowing inside.
Zhou Yuan raised his head and grinned at Jiang Hongying.
“Hey, you only bowed four times and think you can win against me?”
“It’s impolite not to reciprocate. Since you bowed four times, you should also give me a shot, right?”
Zhou Yuan's face turned chilling and the jet-black mouth of the bell locked on Jiang Hongying. Immediately after, terrifying power frantically accumulated inside.
Jiang Hongying’s countenance changed abruptly. A chill gushed up from the depths of her heart. Zhou Yuan's counterattack was more terrifying than she imagined!
Boom!
But before she could analyze Zhou Yuan’s attack any more, the golden bell shook and an earthshaking ringing of the bell reverberated throughout the world.
Chapter 1248 Defeated Dragon
Om!
As the golden bell roared, the space around the mouth of the bell began to collapse. Light flooded the inside and terrifying power converged. Then, the bell shook again and a sound wave roared out like a torrent.
Saint Genesis art, Heavenly Dragon Golden Bell!
Within the sound wave torrent was a dragon roaring. The torrent moved through the air with incredible speed and smashed the space in an instant. It swiftly approached Jiang Hongying in the sky.
Jiang Hongying’s face blanched with horror and her scalp felt numb when she saw the power contained in the sound
wave torrent. She never thought Zhou Yuan could counterattack so fiercely.
The sound wave torrent that contained a dragon roar was more terrifying than the power of her four bows!
Is Zhou Yuan’s counterattack also a powerful greater Saint Genesis art?!
Jiang Hongying didn't dare to act careless. She gritted her teeth and her eyes flashed with a fierce light.
She folded her hands in a seal and rapidly circulated her Genesis Qi. There was even white smoke rising from her flesh, a sign that her power was activated to its peak state.
“Imperial Dragon Bows to Heaven, the fifth bow!"
She slowly bowed down in worship.
The bow was extremely difficult and even tore her skin. Her beautiful body quivered as if unable to bear the tremendous pressure.
Jiang Hongying hadn’t fully mastered the fifth bow of the Imperial Dragon Bows to Heaven, and thus it was detrimental to her body to forcibly use it due to the heavy load it put on her.
But she had no other choice because she knew she couldn’t block Zhou Yuan’s fierce counterattack any other way.
She would lose if she failed to withstand his counterattack and she would hate to see that result.
Boom!
But she still completed the bow even if it put a lot of strain on her body.
As she bowed down, the gigantic Imperial Dragon silhouette behind her quivered a little and the entire world dimmed. A tremendous power emerged like a bolt of lightning, pointing directly at the sound wave torrent roaring towards it.
Many people’s eyes widened in horror as they watched the earth shaking collision about to happen.
Rumble !
The collision arrived the next instant. Indescribably loud sound waves swept across the area and drowned all noises in the world, followed by terrifying blasts of wind and waves devastating nearby mountains.
The Ancestral Spirit Tree swayed a little but still stood tall and unscathed. This was because every Ancestral Spirit Tree was connected to the utopia since birth. In other words, Ancestral Spirit Trees were almost indestructible unless the entire utopia was annihilated.
But that wasn’t something that could be achieved by someone at the Nascent Source stage.
