Chapter 188 Two Dragons (1/2)

The instant Zhou Yuan and Wu Huang’s figures broke through the ten thousand feet tall green wave and dashed into the clouds, the atmosphere outside and inside of the Saint Remains Domain abruptly reached its boiling point.

Countless were stupefied.

No one had expected that there would not be one but two who broke through the final obstacle. Moreover… they were Wu Huang and Zhou Yuan.

Of course, the crowd was still able to accept Wu Huang since everyone knew of his reputation. Zhou Yuan on the other hand, was completely unbelievable.

After all, Zhou Yuan was only at the Heaven Gate stage.

Who could have imagined that amongst the many many geniuses in the Saint Remains Domain, a Heaven Gate stage practitioner would be the one to reach this stage...

Outside the Saint Remains Domain, there was only surprise on the faces of the representatives from the various factions.

“Zhou Yuan should be from the Great Zhou Empire?”

“The Great Zhou whose lands were taken away by the Great Wu Empire through some kind of plot? I thought that they had been wiped out by Great Wu…”

“Tch tch, can’t believe that such a talented individual would come from Great Zhou. His future possibilities will likely be limitless.”

“Zhou Yuan’s talent may indeed be extraordinary, but it’s a pity that he was not patient and tolerant enough. Wu Huang would not let him off for choosing to ascend the peak at such a time.”

“Yeah. Wu Huang is definitely not someone you should offend.”

“......”

Numerous whispers could be heard, but it was clear that everyone was not too optimistic about Zhou Yuan’s situation. Wu Huang was just far too famous, his strength practically immeasurable.

In comparison, although Zhou Yuan was a splendid dark horse, he was still weaker overall.

“Zhou Yuan is rather capable.” Several envoys could not help but remark when they saw this, some admiration in their gazes as they looked towards Zhou Yuan.

However, this clearly did not include Zhao Pan. He indifferently glanced Zhou Yuan’s figure and said, “His talent is not bad, but it’s a pity that he’s in a rush to seek death.”

Mu Wuji tapped pipe and said, “Young people should bravely advance, creating a path to the heavens from impossibility.”

Zhao Pan smiled coldly. “I’m afraid his path is more akin to the road to hell.”

Hints of mockery could be heard in Mu Wuji’s voice as he spoke, “Weren’t you the one who said that Zhou Yuan was completely incapable of competing with Wu Huang and the rest? Yet, he has now managed to ascend the peak at the same time as Wu Huang. Zhao Pan ah Zhao Pan, is your memory really so bad?”

Zhao Pan’s eyes hardened as he disdainfully said, “One may be able to somehow cheat their way through the steps, but a life or death battle will be next. That brat will undoubtedly die at Wu Huang’s hands.”

Mu Wuji smile faintly. “I’m just afraid that you’re going to lose all face again.”

Zhao Pan sneered chillingly. “Since you have such a high opinion of Zhou Yuan, I feel that you should get ready to collect his corpse.”

...

Zhou Yuan was naturally unaware of the various happenings on the outside. At this current moment, he seemed to be falling within the clouds.

His figure slowly landed, down towards mists. The seemingly endless stone steps had already disappeared.

“The steps to the mountaintop are gone.” Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed.

As he fell, he suddenly realised his feet had touched solid ground, and the surrounding mists began to swiftly disperse.

Only now did Zhou Yuan discover that he was standing on an incomparably large white jade plaza of sorts which clearly lay upon the peak of the Saint mountain.

“This place is the peak of the Saint mountain!” Excitement blazed in Zhou Yuan’s eyes. After so much painstaking effort, he had finally reached his goal.

His eyes suddenly narrowed slightly as he looked to the front where the mists were swiftly dissipating, revealing a figure in golden robes standing with his hands behind his back.

The figure coldly looked over, endless killing intent surging around him.

Who else could it be but Wu Huang.

Their gazes met in the white jade plaza, killing intent spilling in every direction.
