Chapter 471 Silver Bone Stage! (1/2)

Bang!

The enormous Genesis Qi sword shattered due to the sudden force exerted by Zhou Yuan. Sword Qi violently swept outwards, slicing deep cuts in the ground around him.

Zhou Yuan stood amidst the destruction, still as a statue.

His body was still covered in blood, making him look extremely pitiful, but as his back gradually straightened at this moment, an exceedingly terrifying undulation seemed to slowly pulse from his body.

A faint silver glow emerged from the depths of his flesh and blood.

There appeared to be something different about the current Zhou Yuan...

The scene of him crushing the giant sword naturally landed in the eyes of the countless onlookers outside the chief disciple peak. A torrential uproar immediately exploded, innumerable disciples dumbstruck, their eyes overflowing with disbelief.

They could not understand how Zhou Yuan, who was basically being steamrolled moments earlier, had suddenly released such power.

Based on their senses, Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi had not grown stronger. So where had this power come from?

Only the six imposing figures high up in the sky released low gasps of surprise.

Hongya Peak master Gu was the first to speak in a voice filled with amazement. “This power… comes from the body. This kid… has achieved the silver bone stage?”

The second stage of the Hongya Peak’s Mythic Saint Body was known as the silver bone stage, which the external cultivation technique practiced by Zhou Yuan clearly originated from. Of course, it naturally could not be compared to the true divine silver bone, but its power was still clear for all to see.

“Tch tch, to think that this kid has managed to achieve the silver bone stage in such a short amount of time. He’s basically a genius of external cultivation!” Peak master Gu was full of praise, his eyes filled with approval as he looked towards the bloody figure on the mountain top.

He clearly understood how difficult the path of external cultivation was. What’s more, the technique practiced by Zhou Yuan originated from the Mythic Saint Body, making it even harder to master than ordinary external cultivation techniques.

In the Hongya Peak, only Shang Chunqiu alone had been able to reach the divine silver bone stage.

Sect master Qing Yan also slowly nodded and said, “He had not reached the silver bone stage earlier. If I’m not wrong, he had intentionally chosen to endure Yuan Hong’s ferocious attacks with his body to temper it, forcing him to his limits to achieve a breakthrough.”

He then exclaimed with a sigh of admiration, “Such decisiveness and boldness is truly praiseworthy.”

The other peak masters, with the exception of peak master Ling Jun, faintly nodded in agreement. A disciple that could display such traits was indeed very amazing.

Peak master Lianyi glanced at the now frowning and less certain peak master Ling Jun, as she softly chuckled and said, “It seems that the situation has begun to change?”

Peak master Ling Jun took in a deep breath, his youthful and handsome face maintaining its calm as he replied, “It’s a little too early to say such things. A breakthrough of such nature is extremely taxing on one’s vital energy. I’m afraid that Zhou Yuan does not have much strength left.”

However, anyone could tell that he no longer completely neglected Zhou Yuan like he had in the beginning.

It was likely that the chief disciple selection of Saint Genesis Peak had only truly begun at this moment.

…

On the peak that was currently the focus of nearly the entire Cangxuan Sect.

Yuan Hong gazed at the bloody figure before him with a somewhat dark expression. The astonishing power displayed by Zhou Yuan was likewise out of his expectations.

The feeling of things slipping out of his control caused fury to surge in his heart.

At the same time, he was also quite puzzled. Zhou Yuan appeared incapable of putting up any resistance at all just moments earlier, so how was he suddenly able to block that attack?

What exactly had he done?

Nearby, Lu Yan, Zhou Tai and Zhang Yan were also watching with uncertainty, confusion and surprise.

Zhou Yuan wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth. Silver light flowed in the depths of his eyes as he lifted his head and looked towards Yuan Hong, while he stretched and twisted his body a little, releasing cracking noises.

Dark green light glowed faintly as a warm energy spread, swiftly replenishing the depleted vital energy in Zhou Yuan’s body.

“You seem to be very surprised?” Zhou Yuan grinned, revealing a set of sinisterly white teeth.

Yuan Hong’s expression darkened even further as he icily smiled. “It’s just some kind of trick!”

“I am very interested to find out whether this confidence you have is just a pretense!”

His foot slammed into the ground as torrential Genesis Qi rose around him, transforming into ten giant swords. Every sword gave off an alarming sharp sword Qi.

Bzz!

Ten swords soared into the sky, lining up one after another as their tips faced downwards. It was an impressive sight indeed.

Yuan Hong had evidently been angered for real, and no longer planned on playing around.

Swish!

Ten swords rapidly grew in Zhou Yuan’s pupils. He lifted his head, and took in a deep breath as silver light emerged from the bones in his body. If one were to take away all of his flesh and skin at this moment, one would discover that Zhou Yuan’s skeleton appeared to be made from silver, a very peculiar sight indeed.

Silver bones shook faintly as a frightening power surged.

Zhou Yuan tightly clenched his five fingers into a fist and punched.

Silver light blossomed in his flesh.

Boom!

A sonic boom accompanied his punch as cracks rapidly grew on the ground below his feet, as if a giant invisible hand was tearing it apart.

Silver light spread, causing Zhou Yuan’s outstretched arm to appear as if it was made of silver.

Little Mythic Saint Body, Silver Bone Stage!
