Chapter 696 Halo of the Divine Dwelling (1/2)

When the biting cold voice of King Wu, which was filled with strong killing intent, rang across Broken Dragon River, the Great Zhou Army on the city walls all had a change of expression at the same time. Their eyes blazed with anger.

King Wu really treated the Great Zhou as nothing!

If Zhou Qing took his life in front of the two armies that was simply a great humiliation that the Great Zhou simply couldn’t wash away!

“Wu Xuan, you really think our Great Zhou will do what you want?!” Wei Canglan thundered, his face flushed with rage.

The other generals and soldiers roared with rage.

However, King Wu paid no attention to them. Instead his icy cold eyes were locked on Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing slammed his spear into the ground: “My Great Zhou would rather die in battle than surrender!”

King Wu couldn’t help but smile and said in a pitiful voice, “as always, you fail to appreciate kindness.”

“Since that’s the case, your Great Zhou will be destroyed...”

King Wu stretched out his hands, and the next moment, incomparably Genesis Qi surged up like a storm from his body. The Genesis Qi was as red as fire, as though it was going to incinerate the sky.

The temperature between heaven and earth instantly rose.

King Wu's body slowly ascended, standing at the highest point of the battlefield. His tremendous Genesis Qi could be seen acc.u.mulating behind him and finally gradually formed a halo.

The halo bloomed out a l.u.s.ter of five different colors that suspended behind King Wu, making him appear incomparably mysterious.

At the same time, an intense pressure spread out, shrouding the entire battlefield.

Under that pressure, even the Alpha Origin stage experts on the Great Zhou’s side had a drastic change of expression. Clenching their teeth, they muttered, “Divine Dwelling......halo!”

They were no strangers to the halo that appeared behind King Wu, because it was also the most obvious sign of the Divine Dwelling stage that they sought.

Once one stepped into the Divine Dwelling stage, Genesis Qi would appear outwards and form a light halo. This was called the Divine Dwelling halo.

The Divine Dwelling halo wasn't for appearance. Once this object was formed, it could make one more sensitive to the Genesis Qi between heaven and earth, and during training, the divine dwelling halo also had the ability to gather, absorb, and refine the Genesis Qi of the world.

The speed of cultivation was far superior to that of the Alpha Origin stage.

It could be said that the possession of the halo of the Divine Dwelling was equal to having a great helper during cultivation training.

Of course, in addition to this, the Divine Dwelling halo also had the ability to protect the body, as long as the Genesis Qi of the body hadn’t been exhausted. If it encountered danger, the halo will automatically sense it and obstruct the enemy.

During a battle, the Divine Dwelling halo would also constantly absorb the Genesis Qi between heaven and the earth for its master.

It could be said that the greatest goal for countless people to pursue the Divine Dwelling stage was because of the Divine Dwelling halo.

And the Divine Dwelling Halo, like the Qi Dwelling, also had different grading, which depended on the number of Divine Dwelling formed when the Divine Dwelling was opened...

For example, King Wu’s Divine Dwelling halo was blooming with five colors. This indicated that when he stepped into Divine Dwelling stage, he opened up five Divine Dwellings.

Of course, the Divine Dwelling halo with more colors represented a higher quality. This meant the halo was stronger.

A five-color divine dwelling, in the major sects of the Shengzhou Continent, could be regarded as an elite. On the Cangmang Continent, it was simply an invincible existence.

Therefore, while King Wu was standing proud in the void, revealing the Divine Dwelling halo, many experts of the Great Zhou had turned utterly pale. Their morale was also greatly impacted.

Zhou Qing knew that King Wu intended to target the morale of the troops. He roared immediately, sending Genesis Qi bursting forth from his body.

In these years, Zhou Qing had been trying to improve his strength and was now at the eighth layer of the Alpha Origin stage, and could be considered a top expert of the Great Zhou. Therefore, he knew that he couldn’t let King Wu affect the morale of the troops.

Buzz!

Zhou Qing roared. The spear in his hand abruptly shot into the sky, wrapped in majestic Genesis qi.

He used all his strength in that attack.

However, in the face of Zhou Qing's move, King Wu only gave a cold glance in response and did not budge an inch.

When the spear light had whizzed over, the five-color Divine Dwelling had suddenly spread out to protect King Wu. It rapidly rotated like a light barrier.

Clang!

The spear heavily struck the Divine Dwelling halo, producing crisp, loud noises that caused the s.p.a.ce to vibrate.

Then, countless people were astonished to see the spear shattered to pieces. It was unable to shake the Divine Dwelling halo in the slightest, let alone wound King Wu.

King Wu's mouth twisted in a sneer, as he stretched out his fingers and flicked gently.

Swoos.h.!.+

The fragment of spear struck by him was instantly shot back, producing sharp explosive noises, and aimed for Zhou Qing on the city walls.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing thrust his fist while Genesis Qi frantically surged out from his body.

Boom!

His fist slammed into the fragment, producing an explosion of frantic Genesis Qi.

But he underestimated the strength of the Divine Dwelling stage. The piece of debris that was wrapped in King Wu’s powerful Genesis Qi directly tore through the fist light and skimmed his fist.

Zhou Qing reeled back dozen steps from the force. A blood mark appeared across his fist and blood trickled down his fingers.

It was only a slight touch but Zhou Qing was injured. And this was only a casual strike from King Wu.

The gap between the Alpha Origin stage and the Divine Dwelling stage could be clearly seen.

“Your Majesty!” Wei Canglan and others hurried forward.

Deafening cheers broke out on the Great Wu’s side.

“King Wu is invincible!”

“......”

On the walls of the Great Zhou it was utterly silent. The power of the Divine Dwelling stage could make one feel despair.
