Though Zhou Yuan’s and Ji Mo’s battle was intensifying, the other two key fights were still drawing a lot of attention.

First was the most attention-grabbing battle between Guan Qinglong and Mi Shi. Both fighters favored direct head-on clashes and used the raw might of their Genesis Qi to overwhelm their opponent. However, since their Genesis Qi foundations were roughly equal, the fight was quite literally earth-shaking, each clash causing reverberations that could be felt throughout the battlefield.

From the current situation, it seemed that Guan Qinglong had the initiative. After all, his Genesis Qi foundation was a little stronger than Mi Shi’s.

Hence, the allied races’ side was not overly worried about this battle.

Although things were looking pretty good for them on this side, Jiang Jinlin’s situation was not as optimistic.

Rumble!

Jiang Jinlin roared at the sky as his body began to swell. Numerous scales grew on his skin, and his hands turned into dragon claws. His nails became as sharp as knives capable of cutting the fabric of space with the faintest twitch.

He looked like a humanoid dragon possessing near god-like physical abilities that allowed him to release devastating power with each swing and kick.

Moreover, the Genesis Qi undulations from Jiang Jinlin’s body had reached the 3.6 billion level!

Evidently, he had also activated a Genesis Qi boosting secret art.

Despite this, he was unable to gain the upper hand.

Jiang Jinlin’s golden pupils stared hard at Mi Shan, who was standing in the air in front of him. Strange, mystical glowing runes covered Mi Shan’s entire body. The runes seemed to form some kind of mysterious tattoo that boosted Mi Shan’s Genesis Qi foundation to the 3.8 billion level!

A slit wiggled between his brows, as if something frightening was hiding within. It gave off an extremely dangerous sensation.

“What an ugly look. However, you seem to be much weaker than Guan Qinglong.” Mi Shan smiled faintly as he gazed at the dragonoid Jiang Jinlin. “I originally thought he would be my opponent. Instead, I get to humiliate you.”

“We don’t know who will be humiliating who yet!” A fierce light rose in Jiang Jinlin’s eyes. He cast a glance at a certain spot below him before his mouth abruptly ballooned. With a tiny plop sound, he spat out a ball of golden dragon blood.

Golden dragon blood sprayed across the sky like rain, filling their surroundings.

Mi Shan raised his brows slightly. Genesis Qi surged around him to form a screen that blocked the golden dragon blood. “Oh? So anxious that you’re vomiting blood?”

Mi Shan’s mocking, however, fell on deaf ears. An icy smile rose from the corners of Jiang Jinlin’s mouth. “Mi Shan, do you really believe I’ve come unprepared? You may be the strongest expert of Shengwang Heaven, but your life is mine today!

“Golden Blood Dragon Domain!”

With a growl from Jiang Jinlin, the area enveloped by golden rain slowly began to shimmer. From a distance, it looked as if there was a golden dome around Jiang Jinlin and Mi Shan.

Mi Shan frowned slightly. He waved his sleeve, sending out torrents of Genesis Qi to blast the golden dome, but the dome was unexpectedly solid. The attacks could only cause ripples and were unable to destroy it.

“Is this the coffin you’ve prepared for yourself?” Mi Shan smiled.

Jiang Jinlin was expressionless. With a deep breath, he suddenly thrust a dragon claw forward. Golden blood converged towards his palm, slowly turning into an ancient glowing rune. He turned the claw towards Mi Shan, and a split second later, Jiang Jinlin’s body rapidly began to wither as if all his flesh, blood and lifeforce were being poured into the ancient glowing rune.

“Mi Shan, have a taste of this wonderful gift I’ve prepared especially for you.

“Sacred Sealing Art!”

Bzz!

The glowing rune in Jiang Jinlin’s claw turned into a beam of light. The beam pierced through the air and appeared in front of Mi Shan before bursting into rays of light.

Mi Shan’s expression changed slightly. He could see countless tiny glowing runes within the light rays. The runes gave off a peculiar power that began sealing any Genesis Qi they touched. They were clearly very effective against Genesis Qi.

If Mi Shan let the runes enter his body, his power would be greatly restricted and his strength would fall.

“A sealing technique? So that’s what you were planning!” Mi Shan sneered as the slit between his brows began to wiggle. It slowly cracked open, revealing a Sacred Pupil. Three stars revolved in the pupil, giving off a mysterious power.

“Sacred Pupil Barrier!”

Swish!

Sacred light spewed from the Sacred Pupil and gathered in a cloud above Mi Shan’s head. Then, tendrils of light descended from the cloud and enveloped his body. Jiang Jinlin’s sealing runes could not achieve the same unstoppable effect against the sacred light, and they were gradually stopped, no longer able to advance.

“Jiang Jinlin, you’re too naive. Your strange sealing runes aren’t strong enough to penetrate my Sacred Pupil’s light barrier.” Mi Shan chuckled.

However, there was no sign of defeat in Jiang Jinlin’s eyes. Instead, a strange smile rose from the corners of his mouth. “Isn’t it a little too early to celebrate?”

Mi Shan’s eyes narrowed as a faint sense of unease rose within him.

Swish!

He suddenly heard the clear cry of a phoenix. Mi Shan jerked his head downwards and saw a glowing phoenix rise into the sky and charge into the golden dragon domain.

Mi Shan’s pupils abruptly shrank as he stared at the glowing phoenix because he had seen countless glowing runes within the phoenix. Though they were somewhat different from Jiang Jinlin’s, they clearly possessed the same ability: sealing power!

Mi Shan's eyes turned icier as he locked onto a certain spot within the phoenix where a pretty figure raised her head to meet his gaze.

It was Ai Qing of the Spirit Phoenix Clan.

The glowing phoenix slammed into the sacred light around him and swiftly merged with Jiang Jinlin’s light of sealing.

A tremendous change occurred when the two forces touched. Light condensed into the shapes of a dragon and a phoenix, which began circling the sacred light at high speed, creating a circle of light.

Mi Shan’s sacred barrier rapidly thinned, causing his expression to darken.

“Mi Shan, this sealing technique was created by the Saint experts of Wanshou Heaven’s Mystic Dragon Clan and Spirit Phoenix Clan. It requires the fusion of dragon and phoenix to achieve its maximum power. Once the dragon phoenix light circle is formed, you’ll be unable to escape no matter how capable you are.” An icy smile emerged on Jiang Jinlin’s face. “Mi Shan, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too stupid and allowing yourself to fall into my Golden Blood Dragon Domain.”

Jiang Jinlin clenched his claw. The dragon phoenix light circle finally shattered the sacred light and shrank around Mi Shan’s body.

Once bound by the circle, Mi Shan’s power would be sealed away.

Deafening cheers erupted from the many fighters keeping an eye on the battle. The scales would certainly begin to tip once Mi Shan was dealt with.

However, there was surprisingly no panic on Mi Shan’s face as he watched the circle shrink around him. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled slightly. “Jiang Jinlin, I should return your earlier words...it’s a little too early to celebrate.

“While you were scheming against me, I was also scheming against you! Do you believe your sealing technique is a secret? I already knew about it long ago!” Mi Shan displayed a strange smile as light suddenly blossomed from his Sacred Pupil. The dragon phoenix light circle was swiftly sucked into the Sacred Pupil.

“What?!” Jiang Jinlin’s expression changed drastically.

“You sucked in the dragon phoenix light circle?!” Jiang Jinlin was in a state of disbelief. Given the circle’s sealing power, Mi Shan should not dare suck it in no matter the strength of his Sacred Pupil!

“Who said I sucked it in?” The strangeness of Mi Shan’s smile intensified. “I merely helped you change its target.”

Jiang Jinlin’s pupils abruptly shrank as if he had finally realized something. He immediately jerked his head toward Guan Qinglong and shouted, “Careful!”

The instant his shout rang out, a strange expression emerged on Mi Shi’s face as he grinned. “Too late.”

The Sacred Pupil between Mi Shi’s brows suddenly opened.

Bzz!

A circle of light shot out. It was the dragon phoenix light circled that Mi Shan had sucked in.

The circle zipped straight towards Guan Qinglong at an astonishing speed.

The sudden attack alarmed Guan Qinglong, but it was already too late for him to avoid it. A ruthless light flashed in his eyes as he swung the azure dragon blade. Azure light pulsing with terrifying Genesis Qi hacked into Mi Shi’s chest.

Squelch!

A sinister, bloody wound appeared on Mi Shi’s body, nearly cutting him into two.

However, he did not seem to care; the circle had already shot into Guan Qinglong’s body.

Countless horrified gazes could only watch on as the powerful Genesis Qi surging around Guan Qinglong began to weaken at an alarming rate.
