Chapter 708 Nine Heavens Divine Dwelling (1/2)

The lingering sound of thunder echoed in the cemetery. King Wu’s bitter voice accompanied it, refusing to fade away like a ghost.

Zhou Yuan wore a calm look as he watched, although his eyes grew increasingly grave when he looked towards Wu Yao. Though he did not know what had happened between Wu Yao and King Wu, her decisiveness in killing the latter was more than enough to prove her ruthlessness.

Wu Yao dazedly stared at the spot where King Wu’s Spirit had disappeared for some time before her long phoenix eyes slowly closed.

A long while later, her eyes opened again. There was nothing left within them except for a chilling, icy sharpness.

Zhou Yuan’s and Wu Yao’s gazes met once more. No words were spoken between them as killing intent secretly flowed.

King Wu’s final roar was clearly aimed at pitting the two of them in a fight to the death. However, it was unnecessary because the moment Zhou Yuan laid eyes on Wu Yao, he already knew that she was the most troublesome enemy in the Wu clan...

Although he did not know what had drawn Wu Yao to kill her father, it was impossible for this matter to mediate things between them.

The two of them were fated to be on opposing sides.

Moreover, from Wu Yao’s eyes, Zhou Yuan could feel that she was the same as himself; possessing an unshakable determination to grow stronger.

Such individuals would surely go very far on the road of cultivation.

Zhou Yuan’s goal was to take back the sacred dragon blessing, but would Wu Yao voluntarily hand it over? That was definitely impossible.

In fact, Wu Yao was likely thinking of taking away the portion of sacred dragon blessing currently dwelling within Zhou Yuan’s body to her own sacred dragon blessing whole. It would be extremely beneficial on her path to reach the pinnacle in the future.

Rumble!

While their gazes clashed, the ground suddenly began to shake as the faint roar of a dragon seemed to echo.

Zhou Yuan raised his head and saw strands of mystical energy rushing over from all directions, ultimately converging at the spot where King Wu’s Spirit had disappeared.

Roar!

The qi swirled together as the faint silhouette of a dragon emerged.

Zhou Yuan’s pupils shrank. These undulations were far too familiar to him. It was the sacred dragon qi!

In the wake of King Wu’s death, the Great Wu Empire had crumbled along with its blessing. As such, the final portion of the sacred dragon qi had gathered at the location where King Wu had died.

Rumble!

Resplendent golden light exploded from Zhou Yuan’s body as he abruptly dashed forward, clearly intending to snatch the sacred dragon qi.

Though he was fast, Wu Yao was even quicker.

Bzz!

Black lightning surged, forming a net that enveloped the sacred dragon blessing before shooting back towards Wu Yao’s outstretched hand.

Zhou Yuan’s figure stopped as his chilling gaze stared at Wu Yao. “Was killing your father and to seize the sacred dragon qi your plan? Every member of your Wu clan is even crazier than the previous.”

Iciness flitted across Wu Yao’s eyes. She gazed at the sacred dragon qi in her hand as her lips parted slightly, “In this world, I’m likely the one who hates this thing the most.”

Zhou Yuan raised an eyebrow. “In that case, return it to its owner.”

Wu Yao shot a glance at him as she spat out a single word. “Childish.

“Zhou Yuan, hand over the sacred dragon qi in your body and let all of the grudges end today. You’ve killed Wu Huang and even destroyed the Great Wu Empire, but I can let these matters go.

“I’m not interested in avenging them. In fact, I can promise to not even step into this Cangxuan Heaven in the future.”

Zhou Yuan merely chuckled in response. “What a grand ambition.

“Unfortunately, that’s exactly what I want to tell you too. Hand over those two portions of the sacred dragon qi to me and you may leave this place. All of the grudges between us shall be written off.”

Their gazes clashed as the air seemed to turn a little colder.

Black lightning began to emerge on Wu Yao’s body. She lifted her fair chain as her eyes narrowed. “Zhou Yuan, you should understand that you and I will not rest till the other is dead if the sacred dragon qi is not made whole.”

Zhou Yuan looked at her and grinned, revealing a set of eerily white teeth. “Since that is the case...we’ll fight to the death.”

Rumble!

A sharp and serious look abruptly arose in Zhou Yuan’s eyes as a primal chaos halo emerged behind him. Alarming Genesis Qi spouted out, transforming into a giant golden hand of light that viciously swatted at Wu Yao.

He knew this was not an issue that could be solved with words. Both of them were decisive, ruthless individuals that would not easily give in. Since that was the case, a fight was unavoidable.

The giant golden hand swung downwards. Wu Yao lifted her beautiful face, but not even a single twitch could be seen while her body did not move from the spot.

Boom!

The golden hand landed, causing a berserk shockwave to devastate the surroundings.

Zhou Yuan frowned slightly as he looked towards the epicenter of the shockwave. Wu Yao had unexpectedly taken his attack head-on.

The Genesis Qi shockwave slowly dispersed.

Zhou Yuan immediately looked over, only for his pupils to shrink a split second later.

Wu Yao stood in the air, her red clothes wrapped around her slim and proud figure. Her hair danced around her, making her look even more soul-stirringly beautiful.

Her willow leaf like brows raised slightly, giving off a formidable and domineering presence that did not lose to any man.

What shook Zhou Yuan’s heart the most, however, were the three halos that had appeared behind her. What’s more, each halo gave off dazzling nine-color light!

“Advanced Divine Dwelling stage!

“Nine heavens Divine Dwelling!”

Fear flooded Zhou Yuan’s face. Only an advanced Divine Dwelling stage expert was capable of creating three Divine Dwelling halos.

Moreover, Wu Yao’s three halos flickered with nine different colored lights, a dazzling sight that would only appear on those that had established the highest tier nine heavens Divine Dwelling!

Wu Yao was indeed the most troublesome person in the Wu clan and also his strongest foe!
