Chapter 426 Eighth Layer? (1/2)

Boom!

Berserk Genesis Qi erupted from Yang Xuan’s body, seemingly covering the entire sky, as countless shocked and horrified gazes were drawn towards him. No one had imagined that even at this stage of the fight, Yang Xuan had still been hiding such an astonishing trump card.

The Genesis Qi undulations that pulsed from his body had already broken past the perfect seventh layer level, faintly stepping into the eighth layer!

Although it was still somewhat unstable, everyone could clearly sense that it had risen.

“God damnit!”

Bai Li and the other Cangxuan Sect disciples could not help but curse with pale faces. Yang Xuan’s strength had greatly surpassed their expectations.

One must know that the eighth layer Alpha-Origin stage had the qualifications to compete with the chief disciples of the various peaks in their Cangxuan Sect.

Far away, Li Qingchan’s hands could not help but clench tightly when she saw this. This turn of events had instantly snuffed the sliver of hope she had earlier.

This was the eighth layer Alpha-Origin stage! In the face of such a huge gap in cultivation, it would be basically impossible for even Zhou Yuan to make a comeback.

Zuoqiu Qingyu lightly stamped her foot as she gnashed her teeth and said, “This is too shameless!”

Though she said so, she also knew that this was no child’s game, but a true life or death struggle. The ability to conceal one’s power was also part of one’s skill.

It was only because she had a closer relationship with Zhou Yuan, and naturally hoped for his victory.

But from the looks of it, that was now going to be a little difficult to achieve.

Amidst the countless gasps that seemed to fill the sky, Zhou Yuan’s expression turned extremely grave. The powerful Genesis Qi ripples spreading from Yang Xuan’s body made the former feel a tremendous amount of pressure.

The eighth layer was just far too powerful.

While Zhou Yuan was tense and waiting, Yang Xuan slowly raised his gaze that was filled with cruelness, as he locked onto Zhou Yuan like a tiger finding its prey.

Due to the whims of fate, Yang Xuan had once obtained a peculiar sealing technique.

This sealing technique could seal one’s Genesis Qi, allowing it to condense time after time inside one’s body. When the day finally came for the seal to be broken, all of the sealed Genesis Qi would suddenly grow at an explosive rate.

This final seal had originally been prepared for the chief disciple selection of the twelve halls, but Zhou Yuan had forced him to break it here and now...

Breaking the seal ahead of time would naturally lead to repercussions. This was the main reason why his eighth layer Alpha-Origin stage was not stable.

If he had been allowed to wait a little longer, his Genesis Qi foundations would surely have risen to even more amazing heights.

Unfortunately… everything had been ruined by Zhou Yuan.

“I will make you beg for death today!”

A chilling voice escaped from the cracks between Yang Xuan’s teeth. In the next instant, he made a grabbing motion with his hand, and the Heavenly Bone Whip swiftly landed within it. An even more terrifying burst of Genesis Qi immediately exploded from his body.

Swish!

He took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared.

Zhou Yuan’s expression changed the moment he saw his opponent’s figure disappear, as he rapidly began to retreat.

Just as he was about to move, however, a frightening Genesis Qi undulation pulsed behind him, causing even space itself to tremble.

Zhou Yuan cast a glance from the corner of his eye, and saw that Yang Xuan had appeared behind him. A flood of Genesis Qi surged from the bone whip in his hand, its presence so overwhelming that it made one’s scalp turn numb.

Zhou Yuan tightly gripped the Heavenly Yuan Brush with both hands as he swung it horizontal to his body.

Clang!

The whip slammed into the mottled body of the brush, creating a thunderous clang. The air within a ten thousand feet radius exploded, as a piercing boom resounded across the land.

Zhou Yuan’s body was sent flying as if struck by a heavy blow, travelling over a thousand feet before managing to forcibly steady his body.

When he finally managed to stabilize himself, the spot between his thumb and index finger had been ripped apart, turning his hand into a bloody mess, while even the skin on his arms had split open at several places. Fortunately, a dark green light emerged from his flesh, causing it to squirm as his wounds recovered.

After a single blow, Zhou Yuan had fallen into a completely disadvantageous situation.

Numerous sighs of pity sounded across the area. As expected, when Yang Xuan approached the eighth layer, Zhou Yuan was no longer able to contend.
