Chapter 531 Shattering the Sword Orb (1/2)
In the sky above the seemingly endless sea, countless gazes dazedly stared at the giant torrent of sword light that had frozen in the air. Under the terrifying sword light, a hundred foot tall mysterious glowing silhouette hovered. It’s appearance was very blurry, while a mysterious power pulsed from it.
Zhou Yuan stood inside the glowing figure with a calm expression, completely unharmed.
The entire world seemed to freeze for an instant.
Next, torrential cries of surprise rose one after another like waves.
“What is the heck is that?!”
“What is that Genesis technique, to think that it managed to block the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb technique!”
“How is this possible?!”
“......”
The disciples from the various peaks had clearly lost their composure, because this scene was just far too astonishing.
They could not comprehend how Zhou Yuan had managed to withstand a terrifying killing blow from Baili Che that could slay even an ordinary ninth layer practitioner...
That had been the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb technique!
One of the seven Cangxuan Arts, and also the highest grade Genesis Qi technique of Sword Cometh Peak!
When this technique was used, everything should have been swept away without resistance such that it would be worthy of its reputation. However, it had been blocked by a mysterious glowing silhoutte.
The Sword Cometh Peak and Saint Genesis Peak disciples stared with their mouths wide open, as the expressions of both parties changed once more. The former’s joy turned to alarm and horror, while the latter turned from terror to blankness.
They too could not understand why Zhou Yuan could come out completely unscathed after receiving the attack head-on.
Only Zhou Tai, Lu Yan and Zhang Yan seemed to recall something as they suddenly looked at each other. Disbelief overflowed in their eyes, before they finally managed to blurt out after some difficulty, “That glowing figure… could it be…”
“The Omega Saint Spirit Art?!”
In the sky, deep guttural noises jumped out from the cracks between Baili Che’s teeth, his face twisted hideously, while his nearly entirely red eyes stared at the mysterious glowing silhouette around Zhou Yuan.
As the chief disciple of Sword Cometh Peak, his insight was naturally far better than any ordinary disciple. Hence, he had immediately recognized the glowing figure the moment it appeared.
There was absolutely no doubt that only the same high grade Heaven tier Omega Saint Spirit Art could block his Devil Sweeping Sword Orb.
“That blasted Zhou Yuan! How did he learn the Omega Saint Spirit Art in such a short span of time!” Baili Che gnashed his teeth, eyes filled with shock and anger.
“He must have had some kind of external help!”
Baili Che’s expression was very stormy. In truth, he had not naturally learnt the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb, but borrowed external help in order to forcibly create it.
Due to it not being the fruits of purely his own efforts, it was less concentrated and unstable.
In Baili Che’s view, if even he could not properly learn the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb technique in two months, it would definitely be impossible for Zhou Yuan to learn the Omega Saint Spirit Art.
As such, Zhou Yuan must have made use of some kind of external help.
“I’ve underestimated you!”
Baili Che let out an icy laugh as he stared at Zhou Yuan. He had gradually calmed down after the initial anger. Although Zhou Yuan had managed to learn the Omega Saint Spirit Art, it was most likely only barely able to block his Devil Sweeping Sword Orb.
What Baili Che needed to do now was to stabilize the situation, and start searching for an opportunity.
At this current juncture, Baili Che no longer dared to underestimate Zhou Yuan, and had begun to view the latter as an opponent on the same level as himself.
High up in the sky, Zhou Yuan cast a glance at Baili Che from far away, as a meaningful smile rose from the corners of his lips as if reading the latter’s thoughts.
