Chapter 990 Settled (1/2)

She stared at Zhou Yuan's face. When she met Zhou Yuan for the first time in Great Wu’s capital, she had never thought he would stand in front of her in such a way.

This man who was born with the Sacred Dragon Blessing indeed has remarkable talent.

But what she admired the most wasn't Zhou Yuan’s talent but his tenacity. He didn't give up on life even after he had fallen to the bottom.

Although she didn’t know what kind of difficulty Zhou Yuan had faced from the moment he had unblocked the eight meridian channels and had set foot on the path of cultivation, she could imagine that it must have been filled with problems that would make ordinary people give up thousands of times already.

But Zhou Yuan had persisted, and in the end, he had risen and reversed his fortunes.

Wu Yao didn't find this result difficult to accept. Instead, she let out a sigh of relief and felt her body grow much lighter, as though a weight had been lifted from her.

The destined battle had finally come to an end.

King Wu’s face flashed in her mind, and she smiled faintly in her heart. Father, your plotting has completely unraveled today. Our Wu family does not have the capability to carry the Sacred Dragon Blessing.

Wu Yao slowly closed her eyes, saying indifferently, “Take it back.”

Given her current state, she was no match for Zhou Yuan. Of course, even if her Genesis Qi was completely restored, she still didn't stand a chance against Zhou Yuan, who had broken the Divine Dwelling stage limit. Therefore, she saw no significance in fighting back.

Her body was slender and beautiful, her back straight. Although defeated, she still had pride in her heart.

Zhou Yuan stared at Wu Yao for a moment, waves similarly surging in his heart. Ever since he unblocked the eight meridian channels and began cultivation, he had been waiting for this day.

At this time, he would take back everything he had lost.

Father, I did it…, Zhou Yuan said softly in his heart.

He extended his hand and placed it gently on Wu Yao’s slender shoulder. For a moment, he could feel her trembling.

Her expression was enough to make a man of steel soft and weak, but Zhou Yuan remained expressionless and wasn't affected. He had worked incredibly hard for many years, so no matter what, he had to take back what belonged to him.

A dragon roar echoed throughout Zhou Yuan's body.

Rays of light gathered behind him and gradually took the shape of a dragon-like silhouette.

The Sacred Dragon phenomenon.

The giant dragon silhouette opened its mouth wide and inhaled sharply.

Wu Yao's body violently quivered again as rays of intense light emerged from her. Suddenly, a powerful and mysterious aura surged from the top of her head like smoke rising in spirals into the dragon's mouth.

That familiar aura was the Sacred Dragon Blessing that Wu Yao had taken away when Great Wu was destroyed!

She could feel her life force weaken as the Sacred Dragon Blessing left her body. She understood that once Zhou Yuan took away the last of the Sacred Dragon Blessing remaining in her body, she would also perish.

In a battle between the dragon and the phoenix, only the one that devoured the other would survive.

The anguished roar that King Wu let out when he was beheaded flashed to Wu Yao’s mind.
