Ji Mo stood in the air, his dark and cold gaze watching Zhou Yuan rise into the sky. Malicious hatred overflowed from his eyes, as if he could not wait to tear Zhou Yuan to pieces.

He could feel that Zhou Yuan had grown stronger, which was clearly because of the high-grade ancestral qi branch channel.

This bastard had stolen the rewards that originally belonged to him!

“We meet again.” In contrast to Ji Mo’s hateful gaze, Zhou Yuan was all smiles. “The high-grade branch channel you found for me was excellent. I should thank you again.”

Zhou Yuan had intentionally mentioned the matter to rile up Ji Mo in an attempt to make him lose his rationality to rage.

Veins popped out on Ji Mo’s forehead, but he understood that Zhou Yuan was trying to anger him. He sneered and said, “Don’t be so happy. I was merely careless then. This time, I’m going to kill you and make a batch of Blood Genesis Pills from your flesh and blood!”

Zhou Yuan nonchalantly asked, “But can you? If you could, you wouldn’t have fled like a dog with its tail between its legs the last time.”

Ji Mo icily said, “If not for my carelessness, you wouldn’t have had the chance!”

In their previous clash, Ji Mo’s Genesis Qi foundation was far greater than Zhou Yuan’s. If he had taken the steady approach, there would have been no opportunity for Zhou Yuan to pull off such a risky maneuver.

Zhou Yuan chuckled. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. He immediately waved his sleeve, sending out a torrent of snow-white brush hairs. The hairs twisted into a white shield behind him that cackled with white-gold Genesis Qi.

Clang clang!

The white shield had barely formed when the nearby space suddenly shattered and several extremely sharp strings of light shot out. They headed straight for Zhou Yuan’s vital points, but the countless brush hairs ultimately stopped them.

“You’re still as treacherous as ever,” remarked Zhou Yuan.

The sneak attack had clearly originated from Ji Mo.

Ji Mo’s expression darkened. He had hoped to catch Zhou Yuan off-guard and did not expect Zhou Yuan’s senses to be so sharp.

“Since that didn’t work out, I will crush you directly! Do you believe your temporary 3.1 billion Genesis Qi foundation gives you the qualifications to fight me? That’s too naive!”

Ji Mo took a step forward and made a seal with one hand. Glowing runes emerged and spread across his face, forming some kind of mysterious tattoo.

Rumble!

Ji Mo’s Genesis Qi abruptly rose, jumping from 3.1 billion to 3.4 billion in the blink of an eye!

Terrifying Genesis Qi surged behind him like an ocean, violently shaking the surrounding space.

The suffocating pressure caused Zhou Yuan’s eyes to widen a little. Ji Mo was pretty incredible. After activating his secret art, his Genesis Qi had soared to the 3.4 billion level.

Swoosh!

Ji Mo’s Genesis Qi exploded as his figure shot forth like a lightning bolt, leaving numerous afterimages behind him.

Zhou Yuan’s figure hurriedly retreated.

“Trying to run? It’s too late!” However, Ji Mo appeared in front of Zhou Yuan the moment he began to move, and threw a punch. Destructive Genesis Qi pulsed from Ji Mo’s fist, shattering even the surrounding space as muffled thunder vibrated through the air.

Zhou Yuan’s expression did not change; there was no hint of fear on his face. Two suns emerged behind him as he also pushed his Genesis Qi to the limit.

Boom!

His Genesis Qi swept out as he also threw a full-power punch. Zhou Yuan wanted to test how strong his opponent’s 3.4 billion Genesis Qi foundation was.

Booom!

Two fists slammed into each other, and a Genesis Qi shockwave unfurled. Ripples spread through the sky with a loud boom.

Swish!

However, Ji Mo had definitely gained the upper hand in the exchange. His figure only jerked back slightly, while Zhou Yuan’s was sent hurtling downwards, crashing into a mountain.

“My Genesis Qi foundation is stronger than yours by 300 million, and yet you dare to face me head-on? Stupid fool!” Ji Mo’s face was filled with mockery. “You will definitely die today!”

A bronze spear appeared in Ji Mo’s hand. Boundless Genesis Qi poured in, causing it to buzz excitedly and cut the surrounding space.

Swish!

His figure descended like a lightning bolt, heading straight towards the mountain Zhou Yuan had crashed into. The terrifying force was so great that the mountain began to crumble even before the attack landed. From this, one could see Ji Mo’s unrelenting ruthlessness.

In the distance, Jin Linger’s face changed slightly. She could not help but stamp her feet in worry and frustration. “He couldn’t have been acting earlier, right?”

However, it was already too late for her to save him. Moreover, even someone as strong as her would not be able to last for long in the face of Ji Mo’s frightening Genesis Qi foundation of 3.4 billion.

She could only pray that Zhou Yuan would survive a while longer. While this thought was racing through Jin Linger’s head, Ji Mo approached and slammed into a certain silhouette amidst the dust.

Clang!

An extremely loud clang rang out.

Boom!

A shockwave that could be seen with the naked eye swept outwards, blowing away the nearby Heavenly Sun experts.

Thud!

A figure was sent flying from the destroyed mountain and smashed into another nearby peak.

However, the figure quickly rose back into the air. Numerous gazing onlookers were shocked to see who it was.

The one who had been sent flying was Ji Mo, who had the clear upper hand earlier.

Ji Mo’s expression changed indeterminately as he stared at the mountain’s rubble.

A figure slowly walked out from the dust. He stopped on a boulder, and a voice rang out, “Ji Mo, are you really in such a hurry to die?”

Countless gazes looked over.

They saw a figure wielding a mottled black brush. Frightening undulations were pulsing from his body, and hot scarlet-red runes were spreading across his skin, distorting the surrounding air.

Most shockingly, the Genesis Qi undulations coming from Zhou Yuan also had reached the 3.4 billion level!

Countless people involuntarily cried out, “How can this be?”

An intermediate Heavenly Sun expert with a Genesis Qi foundation of 3.4 billion. This was extremely rare even in the Sacred Race!

In the distance, Jin Linger could not help but swallow. She was truly unable to understand how Zhou Yuan had boosted his Genesis Qi to such a level. Does he have no limit?

It was common knowledge that even secret arts could not raise one’s Genesis Qi foundation without limit due to the cultivation boundary restriction. From what she knew, even the limits of the most elite intermediate glass Heavenly Sun experts were at the 3 billion range. And yet, Zhou Yuan had somehow pushed all the way to 3.4 billion!

Will his Heavenly Sun implode due to going over his limits?

Zhou Yuan ignored the shocked gazes as he felt the boiling Genesis Qi in his body. The boost this time had come from pulling out the maximum power of the Earth Saint Rune. However, Earth Genesis Qi was extremely condensed and heavy, and even he was only able to bear the additional 3 billion boost with the Great Flame Devil’s strengthened body and the Taiyi Green Wood Mark continuously mending his wounds.

Zhou Yuan grimaced a little as the faint pain pierced his body. The Earth Genesis Qi absorbed by the Earth Saint Rune was no joke. He had not expected to feel pain even with the Great Flame Devil. If an ordinary person was to try this, his body would likely disintegrate from the power.

He lifted his head and stared at Ji Mo, cold murder flashing in his eyes.

Since even these cards have been brought out...won’t it be somewhat inexcusable if you don’t die today?
