Chapter 492 Heavenly Sun (1/2)

Zhou Yuan’s shout echoed in the ancient hall. It was as this very moment that the presence less figure atop the Heavenly Sun pillar faintly trembled.

The eyes that had been shut for only god knew how long slowly opened at this moment.

Boom!

The entire hall began to shudder the instant they opened, as a dreadful Genesis Qi pressure engulfed the place. Under this pressure, even space itself began to warp and distort.

Zhou Yuan’s expression changed drastically as he stumbled several dozen steps back. He forcibly steadied his body, an incomparably ugly expression on his face as he looked towards the figure.

The pressure from the latter’s body felt as heavy as a mountain.

“Is this the terror of the Heavenly Sun stage?”

Zhou Yuan tightly gritted his teeth as a horrified noise escaped from the crevices between them. In the Cangxuan Sect, elder Shen Taiyuan and the rest were experts at this level, but they usually restrained their presences, giving Zhou Yuan no chance to gauge their might.

But with the figure now beginning to release the full presence of the Heavenly Sun stage, Zhou Yuan finally realized how tiny and weak he was before it.

Under Zhou Yuan’s extremely grim gaze, the figure slowly stood up on the stone pillar. Eyes completely devoid of emotion were cast towards Zhou Yuan, and a cold, empty voice rang out, “Are you the one who wants to challenge me?”

A drop of cold sweat appeared on Zhou Yuan’s forehead as he replied with a forced smile, “Not really.”

If it was not because he had been forced, there was no way he would challenge a Heavenly Sun stage expert unless he was tired of living!

However, the figure obviously paid no heed to Zhou Yuan’s answer, because the choice was already fixed once he was activated.

His empty, soulless eyes locked onto Zhou Yuan as his clothes began to flap loudly without any wind. His foot slammed into the ground, causing the entire hall to shake.

Rumble!

The terrifying Genesis Qi pressure grew greater and greater, like a ten thousand ton tsunami that could shatter a mountain, as pulse after pulse hammered against Zhou Yuan’s body.

Crack!

The stone tiles under Zhou Yuan’s feet cracked and shattered, the pressure nearly forcing him to his knees, as eerie creaking noises emanated from his bones.

His expression was a mix of fear and terror, as the Genesis Qi in his body frantically surged out in an attempt to defend against the pressure.

He never imagined that a Heavenly Sun stage expert would not even need to do anything else. Just the pressure alone had nearly extinguished all the fight he had in him.

Even taking a single step forward at this moment was going to be unbelievably difficult, let alone exchanging blows with the Heavenly Sun stage expert under this tremendous pressure.

This trial was basically hopeless!

“Back down.”

The figure on the stone pillar looked down from above, its soulless eyes watching Zhou Yuan bitterly struggle.

These words made Zhou Yuan bite down even harder, his fists clenching tightly, as slivers of red slowly appeared in his eyes. He had experienced so many hardships and tribulations ever since arriving at the Cangxuan Sect.

He had also invested so much blood, sweat and tears in order to become the chief disciple of Saint Genesis Peak, and earn the opportunity to enter the sealed main peak.

Was everything really going to end here?

He refused to accept it!

He lifted his head with great difficulty, and stared at the figure looking down at him from above. His breathing turned deeper and rougher as red colored the whites of his eyes. The Heavenly Sun stage was indeed very terrifying, but even it could not make him willingly give up.

“It doesn’t matter how powerful you are. You may be able to defeat me with a casual flick of your hand, but to make me willingly give up is… IM! POS! SI! BLE!”

As the final syllable was roared, Zhou Yuan pushed against the frightening pressure and took a step forward, causing wounds to tear open on his skin.

However, he paid no heed to them, merely continued to stare at the figure atop the pillar.

Another step, and another step.
