Chapter 1416 Saint Force (1/2)
A Genesis Qi storm that covered the sky frantically unfurled in all directions, scattering the nearby Cangxuan alliance army. Some of the weaker individuals were nearly blown a thousand miles away and sustained serious injuries from the fall.
However, no one could care about such things at this moment. Countless gazes gravely stared at the center of the destruction, where they had clearly seen Zhou Yuan directly clash against the Saint force sun earlier.
It had been an exceptionally moving and tragic scene, because everyone knew how enormous the gap was between Zhou Yuan and the Saint stage palace master Sheng Yuan...
To face a Saint expert’s strike with a mortal body...since time immemorial, no one knew how many once dazzling heaven prides had paid dearly for attempting this logic-defying feat. However, it was also these painful prices that slowly built up the image of the almighty Saint experts.
A Saint cannot be teased nor humiliated.
If a Saint was dishonored, the perpetrator must die.
This was perhaps one of the few things that was commonly acknowledged by both the all-heavens and the Sacred Race in the Tianyuan World.
Although Zhou Yuan was called the number one expert under the Saint stage and had created many miracles over the years, no one actually believed that he possessed the qualifications to challenge a Saint expert.
However, all of them understood that Zhou Yuan had no choice earlier.
If he had not faced the attack, Cangxuan Heaven’s elites would have been exterminated there and then by Sheng Yuan, dealing a fatal blow to the entire Cangxuan Heaven.
However, could Zhou Yuan survive an attack from a Saint expert?
No one dared to say for sure.
The torrential Genesis Qi storm finally began to weaken after raging for a long time, and the view gradually cleared up.
What appeared before everyone’s eyes was a several thousand mile wide valley. The entire valley was charred black, making it impossible to tell its depth.
The valley was clearly created from the earlier attack. Such destructive power made the eyelids of numerous Law Domain experts twitch uncontrollably.
Someone nervously asked, “Where’s alliance chief Zhou Yuan?”
No one replied as the expressions of even sect master Qing Yang and the others turned grave. Their senses had already swept through the valley, but had failed to find Zhou Yuan’s presence.
Su Youwei’s face paled somewhat, wanting to immediately dash into the valley and search for Zhou Yuan.
However, she was pulled back by Wu Yao, who said in a low voice, “Don’t be rash.”
Sheng Yuan was currently closely observing as well, and would probably unleash another fatal attack the moment he sensed anything strange.
Zhao Mushen’s expression had also turned extremely grave. He slowly said, “Although a Saint expert is terrifying, that guy has always been an abnormality and cannot be judged by common sense.”
Su Youwei breathed in deeply as she gradually calmed herself. However, her limpid eyes were still filled with worry.
While countless gazes in Cangxuan Heaven were nervously trying to find Zhou Yuan, palace master Sheng Yuan indifferently glanced at the dark valley and chuckled. “Light.”
As his voice rang out, light began to converge towards the valley, piercing the deep darkness.
In the end, the light pooled towards a certain spot deep within the valley, revealing a figure that had fallen face flat to the ground.
The figure’s eerily white bones were exposed and even his internal organs were badly damaged. Chunks of flesh still hung from his body, making him appear exceptionally pitiful.
“Hehe, how amazing. I’m surprised that you managed to survive an attack from a Saint.” Sheng Yuan gazed at the broken body and clapped softly.
Under the strong light, the figure opened his eyes with some difficulty, the remaining flesh on his body squirming as the body tried to repair itself.
However, the Saint force that had invaded his body obstructed the recovery power of the Saint Dragon Physique, even causing intense pain from time to time.
Zhou Yuan gasped weakly as he powerlessly lay on the ground, allowing blood to drain into the soil. Taking a direct blow from a Saint expert had made him understand the might of a Saint...
If not for the Sacred Dragon Physique, his grade 9 Genesis Qi and the formidable Ancestral Dragon Moves the Heavens technique, his chances of survival would have been zero.
Even with all that, he was already too heavily injured to put up any further resistance.
As expected, a Saint expert was terrifying.
