Chapter 1387 Foes Meet (1/2)
Shen Taiyuan’s horrified shriek caused the city walls to fall into chaos. Everyone scrambled backwards in fear, their terrified gazes unable to pull away from the figure that had appeared in the sky.
Palace master Sheng Yuan...
This name had spread practically to every corner of Cangxuan Heaven for the past few years. No matter how many people hated the Sacred Palace, they could only tremble in fear at the mention of this name.
It was terror that reached its peak after the Heavenly Ghost Sect was wiped out by the Sacred Palace.
Although there were no official rankings or evaluation, if someone said that palace master Sheng Yuan was the number one expert in Cangxuan Heaven, no one would disagree.
It was because of his existence that the Sacred Palace could grow stronger and stronger over the years. Now, he was even able to suppress the other five great sects alone.
The Sacred Demon Army that nearly destroyed the Great Zhou Empire was merely a small squad under his command.
No one would have expected such a legendary person to suddenly appear outside Great Zhou City...
The fear and terror he caused was far beyond anything the earlier Sacred Demon Army could ever hope to achieve.
Why else would even someone like Shen Taiyuan lose his composure?
As fear spread like wildfire across the city walls, Zhou Yuan stared at palace master Sheng Yuan. His expression remained composed as he casually said, “Oh, it’s palace master Sheng Yuan? It’s been a long time since we last met.”
In the air, palace master Sheng Yuan ignored everyone else. His eyes looked only at Zhou Yuan, a vast power surging within the mysterious, deep starry sky they resembled.
“Zhou Yuan...
“Only after personally seeing you am I finally able to believe that an ant can grow so much in a dozen years…”
“To be honest, I should thank you.” Zhou Yuan chuckled.
If not for palace master Sheng Yuan, he would not have been forced to leave Cangxuan Heaven. If he stayed here, Zhou Yuan believed that he would have lost the chance to meet the many strong foes who eventually became his stepping stones. It would certainly have been difficult for him to reach his current level in a dozen years.
Hence, in a certain manner of speaking, palace master Sheng Yuan had played a big part in his current accomplishments.
Palace master Sheng Yuan stared at Zhou Yuan, his voice ungraspable as the mist yet also omnipresent, “Your accomplishments are indeed quite impressive. However, do you really believe the current you can change anything?”
There was a look of pity in his eyes as his voice boomed like thunder, causing everyone to try to be as quiet as possible. “Zhou Yuan, you should not have returned. You could have continued to enjoy the glory of being the number one expert under the Saint stage if you hid in the all-heavens. You are only seeking death by returning.”
Zhou Yuan grinned. “I’ve seen many Saint experts over the years and even a prime sovereign. However, none of them acts so self-important or brags as much as a half-baked false Saint expert like you.
“If not for your master’s mischief, do you really believe a grasshopper like you could have continued hopping around for so long? Any Saint expert from the Omega Shrine could destroy you.”
A chilling light rose in palace master Sheng Yuan’s eyes as the surrounding temperature rapidly plummeted, turning a hot day into bitterly cold winter.
An indescribable and vast pressure enveloped the land.
Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed. Palace master Sheng Yuan’s strength seemed to have improved over the past dozen years. However, Zhou Yuan could sense that he had yet to truly step into the Saint stage.
That single step was akin to almost impossible to break shackles. As long as he was not a true Saint expert, Zhou Yuan was not afraid!
Zhou Yuan took a step forward as his Sacred Dragon Law Domain unfurled. An ancient dragon roar echoed across the land, gradually pushing back the bone-chilling cold.
