Zhou Yuan stood atop a mountain that was so steep it resembled a sword’s edge. As a sea of clouds rolled over, the mountain summit split it into two.  

The sea of clouds in the distance suddenly stirred, and three silhouettes flashed in front of Zhou Yuan as if they had teleported. 

“I didn’t think I would have a chance to fight grand elder Zhou Yuan, who has gained such great renown recently. We are really lucky.” The three immediately locked their gazes on Zhou Yuan, and then, loud laughter rang across the sky and stirred the clouds again.

Zhou Yuan looked over to see a bald and burly man standing in the middle. His eyes emitted dazzling lights, and he stood with a very imposing bearing. A skinny old man stood on his left, and a beautiful and elegant woman stood on his right. Even by just standing there, a terrifying imposing aura spread out from them and caused space to quiver.

The three advanced Nascent Source experts fixed their eyes on Zhou Yuan. Although they spoke politely, their eyes gleamed mockingly.

“Does grand elder Zhou Yuan plan to deal with us three at the same time?” The bald man grinned mockingly.

Although Zhou Yuan’s fame had spread throughout the heavens recently and he had directly soared to the advanced Nascent Source stage when he broke through to the Nascent Source stage, he was still a newcomer to the Nascent Source stage, regardless of how powerful and enviable his foundation was. 

On the other hand, the three before him were veterans at the Nascent Source stage. The outcome might be unpredictable if they were to face Zhou Yuan one-on-one, but if they joined forces, the situation would no doubt be favorable for them. They couldn’t understand why Zhou Yuan still had so much confidence. 

“Haha, grand elder Zhou Yuan, you have won honor for our Hunyuan Heaven, so we don’t want to make things difficult for you. Why don’t you move aside and let us complete our task so we can report back, what do you say?” The beautiful woman gave a charming smile.

Zhou Yuan said indifferently, “Today's matter is extremely important to me. If you insist on breaking through the boundary, I won’t hesitate to kill you.”

The three’s eyes suddenly turned fiercer and sharper. “So arrogant! You really think the Nascent Source stage is the same little pond as the Heavenly Sun stage!?”

The three stepped forward simultaneously as their Nascent Sources, which were all around 6 inches, emerged above their heads.

Universe Genesis Qi pulsed as their Nascent Sources breathed in and out as if forming three tremendous vortexes. 

“Let’s get rid of him together!” roared the thin old man.

Even though the three had mocked Zhou Yuan, they were ruthless and did not intend to give up their numerical advantage just because Zhou Yuan was new to the Nascent Source stage. Instead, they simultaneously displayed their thunderous means. 

After all, Zhou Yuan’s accomplishments in Guyuan Heaven were too glorious.

The bald man clenched his hand, and a huge blade appeared in his grip in a flash. With a savage expression, he swung his blade down. A blade cry reverberated across the world, followed by a beam of light descending rapidly from the sky.

The blade split the void.     

The blade light, mighty and overbearing, resembled a starry river, and upon a closer look, one would find millions of blade shadows swimming like fish within it. Additionally, the blade shadows exuded spiritual intellect and extreme coldness.

That was the incredible power of the Nascent Source stage. At that cultivation, one would have much more precision controlling Genesis Qi. The Genesis Qi offensive from Heavenly Sun experts could never reach such a precise and spiritual level.

As the thin old man flung his sleeves, an ear-piercing screech rang out, followed by a black torrent streaking across space. The torrent swiftly condensed into a giant bat that blotted out the sun and sky. It pounced towards Zhou Yuan with terrifyingly fierce force.

The beautiful woman’s momentum was a little weaker but was more ruthless. With a wave of her hand, pink Genesis Qi swept out from her, and petals fluttered across the world, bringing a strange aroma. Anything that came into contact with the petals instantly melted, including rocks and boulders. 

The three displayed extremely ruthless means right away to cut off all Zhou Yuan’s escape routes. 

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes as he watched the three’s aggressive offensives. The three’s Nascent Sources were all around six inches, which was similar to his.

But this didn’t have much significance because if the size of one’s Nascent Source could determine who was stronger, battles would simply consist of comparing Nascent Source. 

Ordinary Nascent Sources of 6 inches wouldn’t exceed 50 billion Genesis Qi stars. 

Only elites could pass the 60 billion threshold.   

The three people in front of Zhou Yuan were indeed elites of the advanced Nascent Source stage, and from the strength of their Genesis Qi, it was obvious their Genesis Qi foundations had crossed the 60 billion level.

But it should be said that Zhou Yuan’s foundation was already over 70 billion when he had broken through to the Nascent Source stage.

To be precise, it was 74 billion!   

“So what if it’s the Nascent Source stage? I could kill enemies with a higher cultivation level than me when I was at the Heavenly Sun stage. I can do the same at the Nascent Source stage!” Zhou Yuan muttered to himself as if he didn’t see the three fierce offensives.

He strode forward and slammed out his hand without any showy display.

As he slammed his hand down, an earth-shattering dragon roar resounded across the world, and universe Genesis Qi rapidly gathered together to form a giant dragon claw. 

The Genesis Qi dragon claw was vivid and lifelike. Its scales glistened lustrously, and each scale was marked with ancient runes and radiated vast and ancient aura. To anyone, the claw resembled a giant dragon shuttling through time and space and slamming down its claw. 

After reaching the Nascent Source stage, Zhou Yuan’s control of Genesis Qi reached a much higher level. 

It was only at such a level that he could finally display the mystery of the Heavenly Dragon Qi.

Boom!   

The dragon claw slammed down with incredible force and collided with the beam of blade light.

Bang!    

The starry river blade light shattered in an instant, and the millions of blade shadows within it turned into flecks of light that filled the sky. 

The giant ferocious bat was crushed to dust before it could display its power. 

The pink petals failed to get close to the dragon claw before they were shredded. 

The three Nascent Source experts paled, and they frantically drew back.    

Boom!   

The dragon claw slammed down where they had been, crumbling mountains and distorting even space.

The three figures reappeared thousands of feet away, their faces twisted in horror.

They didn't think Zhou Yuan could easily counter their combined attacks.

But what shocked them the most was that they could sense that Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi foundation had exceeded 70 billion from the Genesis Qi pressure he released. Zhou Yuan’s Nascent Source was only around six inches tall, so why was his Genesis Qi foundation so abnormal?!

A foundation over 70 billion was comparable to that of a lower to middle perfect Nascent Source expert! 

The perfect Nascent Source experts of both sides also noticed the abnormal movements. Zhao Yuefu, Xue Qinglong and Yi Yan cast a glance over and couldn't help shuddering with shock. Particularly Xue Qinglong. 

Surprise flashed across her beautiful eyes because a 6-inch Nascent Source with more than 70 billion Genesis Qi foundation was really terrifying!

While everyone was stunned, Zhou Yuan’s face didn’t ripple in the slightest. He stared at the three as faint murderous intent flashed across his eyes. He had already said that anyone who stopped Yaoyao from awakening would die. 

His skin glowed with the Saint glass light.

The Heavenly Yuan Brush immediately flashed and appeared in his grip.

He vanished from where he stood.   

The three advanced Nascent Source experts could feel the aura of death approaching, and their hair stood on end. 

It was only then they understood how fiendish the young man who had stirred up tremendous storms in Guyuan Heaven was.
