Chapter 183 Saving Each Other (1/2)

Swish!

Zhou Yuan’s figure broke through the merciless green flood like a giant golden python as he rapidly advanced, giant step after step passing under his feet.

Zhou Yuan had displayed an astonishing explosive power in the past few minutes. From last place, he had leaped past the second tier group and was now beginning to close in on the first group.

Such a turn of events naturally caused waves of uproars outside the Saint Remains Domain.

Everyone knew that to advance against the endlessly pouring green flood, one needed to rely on one’s Genesis Qi. If one’s Genesis Qi cultivation was insufficient, it would result in the exhaustion of Genesis Qi and the subsequent ejection from the tower.

However, Zhou Yuan’s explosive display of power had yet to show any signs of waning, but was instead growing more and more ferocious.

A sight that made countless people dumbstruck.

“This… how can this be? He’s merely at the Heaven Gate stage, how can he possess such an abundance of Genesis Qi?” Numerous geniuses were unable to wrap their minds around it.

Outside the Saint Remains Domain, a relieved smile emerged on Mu Wuji’s originally slightly grim face. His gaze continued to be glued to the figure in the mirror as he mumbled to himself, “Such abundant Genesis Qi at the Heaven Gate stage… this means that the grade of his Qi Dwelling is definitely pretty high. It is at the very minimum the purple level, or even… the gold level. If so, I wonder what grade is that gold Qi Dwelling.”

“A gold Qi Dwelling… no wonder that old mister thinks so highly of him.”

Mu Wujin laughed. Although having a higher grade Qi Dwelling was not a definite guarantee of one’s future accomplishments, it was still an advantage over those at the same level, while also an indicator of one’s talent.

Mu Wuji’s mood became pretty good. He shot a glance at the Sacred Palace envoy, Zhao Pan, as he said with a wide grin, “Its seems that your eyes don’t work properly quite often.”

The former had seen the disdain in the latter’s eyes earlier when he was looking at Zhou Yuan.

Zhao Pan was expressionless. “Don’t celebrate too early. So what if he catches up? If he truly angers Wu Huang, he won’t be able to walk out of this alive.”

Mu Wuji tapped his pipe. “I have the feeling that things won’t turn out as you envision.”

Zhao Pan laughed mockingly, his tone chilling as he said, “I hope that you will be able to say so when that kid is killed by Wu Huang.”

Mu Wuji coldly chuckled as he turned his gaze back to the mirror.

“We’ll wait and see.”

...

Rumble!

The seemingly endless green flood continued to pour downwards. Made from Genesis Qi, its destructive power would easily sweep away even mountains.

It this current moment, there were about three dozen figures on the endless stone stairs that were bitterly struggling as they pushed forward against the green flood...

It was also at this moment that Zhou Yuan’s figure truly joined the first tier group.

Currently, Wu Huang, Ye Ming, Li Chunjun and the rest were at the very front, roughly a gap of ten steps in between them, while the other apex level geniuses were slightly further back. After entering the first group, Zhou Yuan’s crazy speed finally began to slow. Sweat appeared on his forehead, a sign that his earlier explosion of power had been extremely taxing on him.

If not for his blood-red Qi Dwelling and plentiful Genesis Qi within it, he would have been out of juice long ago and be swept away by the green flood.

But even so, a great portion of the Genesis Qi in his Qi Dwelling had already been spent.

As such, he chose not to maintain the same output as before, slowing his speed instead to recover Genesis Qi. After all, no one knew what would happen next.

Huu!

Zhou Yuan mind calmed as he lifted his head and gazed at the seemingly endless steps. His breathing began to turn long and drawn out, his chest shrinking back slightly with each inhalation. The Genesis Qi around transformed into string of white that were sucked into his body.

Dragon Breath technique!

This was also why Zhou Yuan had dared to neglect his Genesis Qi consumption earlier. The main reason behind his explosive burst previously was because he could rapidly recover the used Genesis Qi in an extremely short period through the power of the Dragon Breath technique.

As such, the Genesis Qi surging around him soon became robust again.

This astonished the numerous gazed on Zhou Yuan. Many had originally been under the assumption that due to his earlier burst of power, Zhou Yuan would not last for long and soon be washed away.

Who could have expected that his recovery speed would surpass their imaginations, allowing him to quickly stabilize his position in the first tier group.

…

The green flood tirelessly crashed down. As time passed, everyone began to feel the flood gradually grow stronger.

This realization caused the expressions of even those numerous apex level geniuses of the first group to grow increasingly grave.
