“Heavenly Punishment...Law Domain!”

When the low murmured voice sounded, the half-foot area around Zhou Yuan violently twisted, and an indescribable force of terror raged out.

Bang!

The void collapsed in an instant as though a black hole had formed.

That force was no longer an ordinary Genesis Qi power, but a power that far surpassed the Divine Dwellings stage.

It was the power of the Law Domain!

Although Zhou Yuan's half-foot Law Domain was neither of the Law Domain nor the Divine Dwelling stage, it contained an unimaginable, destructive and devastating power.

Gazing at the collapsed void around Zhao Mushen, Zhou Yuan fell into a trance-like state.

After the fiercest battle that had ever happened in Cangxuan Heaven, the Cangxuan Saint Stamp had appeared and taken away the three Saint Runes in Zhou Yuan’s body. In the end, the Cangxuan Saint Stamp had turned to fragments and scattered, and the four Cangxuan Saint Runes had also disappeared with it.

Zhou Yuan thought he would never see them again, but when he opened up the ninth Divine Dwelling, he finally saw them again.

That’s right...the four Cangxuan Saint Runes hadn’t disappeared but were concealed in his unopened ninth Divine Dwelling without him realizing.

Zhou Yuan took a closer look at the inside of his Divine Dwellings. All Divine Dwellings were completely connected, and they were vast, with more than 90 million Genesis Qi stars shining brightly in the air, each containing tremendous Genesis Qi.

The four ancient Saint Runes were gathered together in the center of the Divine Dwellings, forming a slowly rotating sphere of light. As the sphere rotated, the Genesis Qi within the Divine Dwellings surged and roared.

“Old friends, it's been a long time...” The corners of Zhou Yuan's lips curved up in a strange arc. He was momentarily dumbstruck seeing the four Saint Runes when he had opened up the ninth Divine Dwelling because he had never thought there would be such an amazing gift in the ninth Divine Dwelling, which he had a lot of trouble connecting to his other Divine Dwellings.

Of course, it was because of the runes’ existence that Zhou Yuan had so much difficulty connecting the ninth Divine Dwelling. Despite this, Zhou Yuan wasn’t angry or annoyed. Instead, he was overjoyed and excited.

As their former owner, he knew of the four Saint Runes’ mysteriousness better than anyone else. He knew they would undoubtedly become his strongest trump cards.

His emotions surged wildly in his heart, but in the outside world, it only lasted a moment.

Situated in the collapsed space, Zhao Mushen finally revealed a hint of horror in his eyes. Not only was Zhou Yuan not sealed by his Sacred Lotus, but he had also launched a terrifying counterattack. That half-foot Law Domain had stunned not only Zhou Yuan but also Zhao Mushen.

Although the half-foot Law Domain seemed extremely rough, it was impossible for someone of the Divine Dwelling stage to withstand the Law Domain’s power, no matter how rudimentary it was.

The terrifying power gushing over from every direction almost suffocated Zhao Mushen, and the Genesis Qi within his body fell into disorder. Within a Law Domain, the Law Domain’s owner of the Law Domain was the ultimate ruler. Although Zhou Yuan couldn’t achieve ultimate control like how he controlled his Divine Dwellings, he could still disturb the Genesis Qi within his opponent’s body.

Zhao Mushen felt a strong aura of death. It was the first time he had felt this since reaching the Divine Dwelling stage.

“Law Domain Vortex!”

Zhou Yuan's eyes grew more aggressive and fierce. He had no intention of showing mercy because he knew that the slightest carelessness could lead to him being struck by a terrifying counterattack when facing a powerful enemy like Zhao Mushen.

Buzz!

The Law Domain vibrated, mobilizing an indescribable Genesis Qi force as it formed a vortex and twisted towards Zhao Mushen.

This was the only thing that Zhou Yuan could control. After all, given his current strength, it was impossible to bring out the real power of the half-foot Law Domain.

As Zhao Mushen watched the vortex swirling towards him, his hairs stood up. He gritted his teeth, and subtle rays of light burst from his chest, forming an extremely ancient and complicated curse rune.

Boom!

The Genesis Qi vortex shrank.

Zhao Mushen’s body seemed to explode to pieces and vanish.

It was completely empty within the Law Domain, and only Zhou Yuan stood tall. Zhao Mushen's body seemed to have turned into nothingness…

There was utter silence under the starry sky.

Countless people stared at that scene in incomparably shocked disbelief. Zhao Mushen was destroyed to the point that not even a single bone of his body remained?

Liu Qingshu stood frozen, and the faces of the other people from the Wanzu Region were ashen. Zhao Mushen’s death would no doubt be a huge loss to the Wanzu Region.

Ye Bingling, Yi Qiushui and the others couldn’t help but gulp. Wasn’t Zhou Yuan’s counterattack too fierce?

...

Outside the Fallen Abyss.

In the void above, the many Law Domain experts also fell into a moment of silence, staring puzzledly at the light mirror. They had a great understanding of Law Domains, and they of course realized that there was indeed a very primitive Law Domain power contained in Zhou Yuan’s Law Domain.

Zhou Yuan is just at the Divine Dwelling stage...how can he possess a Law Domain?

Even if his Law Domain is rough and primitive, it is still a Law Domain, and its ultimate power should only be controlled by Law Domain experts! Could it be some kind of Saint treasure?

But they had never heard of any Saint treasure that could create a half-foot Law Domain…

Some shifted their gazes to Chi Jing. But her face didn’t ripple, making it impossible for them to know what she was thinking.

Zhao Xiansun’s eyelids twitched repeatedly as he tried to conceal his anger. After all, the situation was completely different to his expectation now that the situation had turned to this.

He looked at Chi Jing, saying coldly, “It seems that your Tianyuan Region has prepared a lot of good things for that boy to win.”

He undoubtedly thought that the half-foot Law Domain treasure was the Tianyuan Region’s gift to Zhou Yuan.

Chi Jing continued to stare at the light mirror with an indifferent expression on her jade-like face, but waves were also surging in her heart. Even she didn’t know that Zhou Yuan possessed such a trump card.

It seems my junior brother still has many secrets, she thought to herself, then shifted her attention to Zhao Xiansun. She said sarcastically, “We still can’t be compared to the Wanzu Region. You even gave away the Divine Death Substitute Curse, which supreme sovereign Wan Zu should have personally developed, isn’t that right? How generous! I think even Nascent Source stage experts would only be rewarded with that thing after they performed a great service for the Wanzu Region, isn’t that right?”

The corners of Zhao Xiansun’s mouth twitched visibly, and he said sinisterly, “No matter how many treasures you have prepared for that boy, my Wanzu Region will still win the nine regions tournament!”

Chi Jing snorted. “Don’t say it so confidently. You might lose face again.”

Although she said those words, her heart sank slightly because she saw that Zhou Yuan’s Law Domain vortex had failed to kill Zhao Mushen and had allowed Zhao Mushen to activate the Divine Death Substitute Curse at the last critical moment. This was a technique that only supreme sovereign Wan Zu could practice.

And after this, Zhao Mushen would no doubt keep at least half a foot away from Zhou Yuan.

Moreover, although Zhao Xiansun was infuriated, he still made a solemn vow that they would win, which suggested that Zhao Mushen still had one last trump card to turn the situation around.

I hope Zhou Yuan can stop him. Otherwise, all his efforts will go to waste.

...

Above the plain.

Zhou Yuan scanned the empty Law Domain and muttered, “Ran away?”

His eyes flashed with disappointment. He had waited for this opportunity for a long time, but he had failed in the end. Zhao Mushen was very tricky to deal with.

His half-foot Law Domain gradually faded. It required too much Genesis Qi to activate the Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune, so even though Zhou Yuan possessed a foundation of more than 90 million Genesis Qi, he could only activate it once in a period of time.

Zhou Yuan lowered his head, peering at the ground in the distance. The void suddenly rippled, and a sinister-looking figure slowly strode out.

It was Zhao Mushen.

As their gazes collided, sparks sputtered out and almost ignited the air.

Zhao Mushen didn’t utter a word and sat down directly. The Genesis Qi across the world pulsed violently, and a mysterious monster-like silhouette emerged behind him again. The gigantic monster gradually grew clearer, and an inexplicable oppressive force pervaded the world.

It was Zhao Mushen’s Taotie Blessing.

Zhou Yuan studied the mysterious monster’s silhouette for a moment, and his brows scrunched together in a frown. For some reason, the Blessing felt familiar.

That…

It looks a bit like...Tuntun after his transformation?
