Chapter 139 Attack (1/2)

By the time the next day arrived, the entire Saint Remains City was already boiling with excitement.

Especially when six streaks of light flew out from the city lord residence and headed directly for the Saint Remains Domain. The countless geniuses inside the city also rose into the air, treading on Genesis Qi as they shot forth, covering the sky and earth like locusts.

Zhou Yuan gazed upon this magnificent scene, before turning his head towards Yaoyao, Luluo and Zuoqiu Qingyu. “We should go too.”

Zuoqiu Qingyu had practically attached herself to Yaoyao for the past few days. Yaoyao could not be bothered to explain, while Luluo was purely waiting for the fun to start when the truth was revealed. This was why Zuoqiu Qingyu had yet to realise that the beautiful man in her eyes was actually a fake.

Yaoyao and the rest naturally had no objections. Hence, the group also moved, heading towards the Saint Remains Domain.

The Saint Remains Domain was about thirty miles from Saint Remains City. At full speed, it did not take much time for the group to reach their destination.

Zhou Yuan peered into the distance, where a giant, practically endless basin had appeared at the end of his sight. Mist shrouded the sky above the basin, giving off faint but strange undulations that made one’s heart shiver.

Under the mist was an incomparably large river. Light glimmered on the surface of the river’s calm and rippleless waters that gave one a feeling of depthlessness.

This should be the holy river the encircled the outer region of the Saint Remains Domain.

Countless figures descended, extending all the way to the end of one’s sight. No one knew just how many people had come.

Outside the Saint Remains Domain were six titanic stone platforms on which figures were landing one after another.

Zhou Yuan’s group also landed on one of the platforms.

Above the platforms, six powerful Genesis Qi torrents whizzed about like storms. Within thestorms, one could just barely discern six seated figures.

Zhou Yuan inquired in a low voice, “Are those the envoys from the six sacred sects?”

Luluo nodded and replied, “Yes, it is said that all six are experts that have reached the Divine Dwelling stage.”

“Six Divine Dwelling stage practitioners.” Zhou Yuan could not help but sigh in admiration. These experts were top class even in the Cangmang Continent.

Zuoqiu Qingyu was making a ‘binoculars’ with her hands as she said with a grin, “I heard that the one above this stone platform of ours comes from Sacred Palace.”

“Sacred Palace…” Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. The barefoot uncle from yesterday had mentioned that the Sacred Palace envoy had already taken a liking to Wu Huang. As long as the latter’s performed well in the Saint Remains Domain, he would be accepted into Sacred Palace, ascending the heavens in a single step.

While these thoughts swirled in Zhou Yuan’s mind, he suddenly lifted his head and looked towards a certain spot in the distance where a golden figure was standing with his hands behind his back. A strong and powerful aura pulsed from his body, making it such that none of the surrounding geniuses dared to approach.

That pressure naturally originated from Wu Huang.

Wu Huang also tilted his head at this moment, his emotionless gaze sweeping across Zhou Yuan before pausing.

“His Spirit has reached the advance Illusory stage.” Wu Huang’s eyes rippled faintly. The crippled dragon of the Zhou clan did have some ability.

“Truly a troublesome fly.” Mumbled Wu Huang as a strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

It was at this very moment that Zhou Yuan suddenly felt all the hairs on his body stand as an indescribable feeling of danger surged in his heart.

His eyes firmly locked onto Wu Huang.

The latter suddenly raised his hand at this moment, his five fingers tightly clenching into a fist, before throwing a punch at Zhou Yuan.

Rumble!

Scarlet-red Genesis Qi whizzed forth like a scorching sun, swift as thunder as it shot towards Zhou Yuan.

“Wu Huang, you’re too much!” Luluo and Zuoqiu Qingyu detected the attack and immediately shouted out in anger, vigorous Genesis Qi exploding from their bodies.

Iciness also flashed across Yaoyao’s eyes as the Spirit on her bright forehead began to shake.

Tuntun also released a low roar from her arms.

However, just as they were about to stop the attack, an overwhelming pressure suddenly descended from the sky, forcing all of their Genesis Qi back into their bodies.

“The Sacred Palace envoy?!” Luluo’s and Zuoqiu Qingyu’s pretty faces changed. The pressure had come from the Sacred Palace envoy seated in the sky above.

Meanwhile, the scarlet-red fist of light had already arrived before Zhou Yuan. Even an advance Heaven Gate practitioner would fear the immense power contained within it.

“That guy is dead.” One of the geniuses in the vicinity sighed. No one had expected that Wu Huang would suddenly attack, not to mention his mercilessness. He clearly intended to kill Zhou Yuan with a single punch.

Scarlet-light filled Zhou Yuan’s eyeballs, the ferocious undulations that swept towards him naturally making his pupils tighten. However, he did not panic at this critical juncture, but instead suddenly took half a step forward.

He crossed his arms in front of him as a rune of light appeared on them.
