Chapter 676 Congratulating the Leader of the Chosen (2/2)
Clang clang clang!
Countless sparks erupted in the air. Strand after strand of pitch-black hair seemed to turn into a sea of pythons as they attempted to stop the azure-gold light through sheer numbers.
Bang!
However, the deadlock between the two forces only lasted for a few breaths before the azure-gold light pierced through the black python sea and headed straight for Zhou Yuan.
The exchange between both parties was akin to a nerve-racking but thrilling roller coaster ride. Both individuals were clearly pouring all of their strength into this lightning quick clash.
“Omega Saint Spirit Art!”
At the sight of the swiftly approaching shuttle Zhou Yuan sent out a thought. Genesis Qi whizzed out as a mysterious glowing silhouette emerged around his body. A pair of wings unfurled to their full length before folding in front of him, creating a shield of wings.
Ding!
The azure-gold light mercilessly smashed into the wing shield, causing the surrounding space to ripple violently. The two sides seemed to freeze in time for a few breaths, then the wings suddenly shattered a split second later.
Countless disciples cried out in alarm. This was the first time today that Zhou Yuan was forced back and his numerous techniques were unable to achieve any effect.
This also excited the Cangxuan Peak disciples. Would Zhou Yuan’s Chosen challenge journey come to a stop at their Cangxuan Peak?
In contrast, the disciples on the Saint Genesis Peak side were so nervous that they did not even dare to breathe too loudly, their gazes unable to turn away from the dual on the mountain.
Under these countless watching gazes, the azure light broke through Zhou Yuan’s numerous obstructions and finally appeared right in front of him.
Bzz!
Without losing any momentum the azure light shot straight towards Zhou Yuan’s head.
At this distance, there was already no way for Zhou Yuan to escape.
A solemn look flitted across Zhou Yuan’s eyes, and he stomped his foot on the ground. His figure came to an abrupt stop as a glow emerged from his body.
The power of his physical body had fully erupted.
Meanwhile, ripples appeared on the ground under his feet as heavy earth Genesis Qi roared towards him and poured into his body.
All one hundred and eighty thousand Genesis Qi stars twinkled brightly, combining with his raw physical might and the earth Genesis Qi gathered by the Earth Saint Rune.
Bloody wounds began to split open on Zhou Yuan’s body.
His eyes were solemn as he stared at the rapidly approaching azure-gold light. When it was a single foot from his brows, his hands suddenly slapped together in front of him like two mountains colliding.
All of his power had gathered between his palms.
Bang!
A deep muffled sound rang out.
Boom!
A giant Genesis Qi shockwave violently unfurled like a tsunami with Zhou Yuan at its epicenter.
The surrounding boulders were turned to dust as the shockwave completely levelled everything in the vicinity, leaving not even a single tiny protrusion in sight...
However, no one paid any attention to this, their gazes fixed only on Zhou Yuan’s location.
As the shockwave dispersed, Zhou Yuan’s figure slowly appeared once more.
Everyone’s pupils violently shrank. Zhou Yuan was still standing there with his hands pushing together in front of him, an azure-gold light visible between his palms, only half a finger from his head.
However, this half a finger distance was akin to an uncrossable chasm.
The shuttle furiously spun, leaving a small bloody dot between Zhou Yuan’s brows that slowly dripped down his face...
The entire place was completely silent.
Amidst the silence, Zhou Yuan slowly relaxed his hands, leaving the shuttle hovering in the air. It soon began to evaporate, and it completely faded away a few breaths later.
Zhou Yuan used a finger to wipe away the blood on his forehead as he looked towards Chu Qing with a solemn expression. “Senior brother Chu Qing’s Spirit Severing Golden Shuttle is truly invincible.”
To have injured him despite his hundred and eighty thousand Genesis Qi stars, Chu Qing’s strength was indeed very astonishing.
Chu Qing blankly stared at the fading shuttle. He was silent for a long time before he finally exhaled a long drawn out breath in a somewhat gratified and relieved manner, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
“Junior brother Zhou Yuan, I’ve been with the Cangxuan Sect for ten years and have been the leader of the Chosen for many years. I never imagined that I would finally pass on this position today…
“But this is good because it means the Cangxuan Sect is overflowing with talent, and each generation is stronger than the previous.”
Chu Qing’s long black hair began to recede, returning his bald head.
He looked straight at Zhou Yuan as a dazzling smile appeared on his handsome face.
“Congratulations, junior brother Zhou Yuan. From now onwards, you are the new leader of the Chosen.
“I also congratulate you for achieving a magnificent feat that no one has ever attained since the Cangxuan Sect was founded: gathering all seven Cangxuan arts…”
He took in a deep breath and cupped his fists together as his clear voice rang out, “Cangxuan Peak congratulates the leader of the Chosen.”
Uproar!
A frenzied atmosphere abruptly descended. Countless Cangxuan Sect disciples were flushed with excitement as unstoppable emotions churned within them. They were witnessing the birth of a legend!
The voices of Kong Sheng, Li Qingchan, Shang Chunqiu and the other Chosen rang out across the land.
“Sword Cometh Peak congratulates the leader of the Chosen!”
“Snow Lotus Peak congratulates the leader of the Chosen!”
“......”
Innumerable disciples began to join in one after another. Congratulatory voices boomed in the Cangxuan Sect like thunder, shaking the many peaks.
