Venerable Yuan

A deep mountain, beside a stream.

Zhou Yuan squatted by the stream and took a sip of water. Most of the day had passed since he met Wu Huang. During this half of the day, Zhou Yuan walked at full speed without any pause.

This kind of high-intensity traveling is a bit too much even for him.

"But now, we should get rid of that guy." Zhou Yuan wiped the water droplets from the corner of his mouth, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp look passed over him.

He didn't think it was a shame to escape from Wu Huang's hands now. After all, the latter's strength was indeed far superior to his, and this strength was due to various reasons.

What he needs to do now is to do his best to narrow the gap between the two sides, instead of fighting to the death when he knows he is losing. That is not brave, but reckless and stupid.

A person's journey will not be smooth sailing, and sometimes forbearance is necessary, but that is not weakness, it is like a spring. When it shrinks, it is not because of fear, but because it is erupting with the strongest strength. Doing preparation and accumulation.

This holy land is huge and full of opportunities. This is Zhou Yuan's opportunity. As long as he can seize some opportunities, he can strengthen himself until he can truly compete with Wu Huang.

At that time, Zhou Yuan would naturally not have the slightest idea of ​​retreating.

"I don't know what happened to Yaoyao and the others..." Zhou Yuan stood up and looked around. This holy site was too vast, so he didn't know how to find it.

And just as Zhou Yuan glanced around, his vision suddenly stopped, because he saw a black giant beast walking out of the forest in front of the stream, and the beast's eyes were staring at him.

The giant black beast looked like a lion, but its tail was burning with black flames, and there were flames surging between its giant mouth.

"Strength in the middle stage of Tianguan Realm..." Zhou Yuan was slightly surprised when he saw this black lion. This should be the origin beast in the Holy Land, and its strength is quite good.

"Looks like I've been preyed upon again."

Zhou Yuan smiled, then took out the Tianyuan Pen from his waist, and quickly expanded it. The snow-white hair closed up and turned into a sharp spear tip.

He raised the tip of his spear and pointed it at the flaming black lion.

"I've been chased so far, so I'll use you to vent my anger."

Roar!

The flaming black lion noticed Zhou Yuan's provocation and roared. The next moment, it suddenly turned into a black light and shot out. Its sharp claws tore through the air and struck Zhou Yuan fiercely.

The dark golden origin energy burst out from Zhou Yuan's body. The Tianyuan pen shook slightly, and a dark cyan light condensed at the tip of the pen, revealing an extremely sharp aura.

"Xuan Mang Technique."

Zhou Yuan tiptoed a little, and his figure suddenly shot out. Two figures crossed over the stream.

The sharp claws of the Flame Black Lion grabbed Zhou Yuan's shoulder, but instead of bringing up blood, sparks spattered out, and cyan scales appeared on the skin.

And when the flaming black lion's claws passed over Zhou Yuan's shoulders, the green light of his pen tip pierced the former's throat at this time.

Blood spurted out.

Zhou Yuan's figure changed direction with the Flame Black Lion, but the latter's huge body suddenly fell to the ground.

Zhou Yuan turned around and looked at the fallen flame black lion, and was suddenly startled because he saw a faint white airflow rising from the body of the flame black lion.

The white air flow rushed toward Zhou Yuan and split into two. One half rushed toward Zhou Yuan, and the other half rushed toward the Tian Yuan pen in Zhou Yuan's hand.

Zhou Yuan looked at the wisp of white air with guarded eyes. He sensed it with his soul, but did not notice any danger. Instead, he felt that this wisp of white air actually contained extremely pure Origin Qi.

That kind of purity is far stronger than the source energy between heaven and earth.

"What's going on?" Zhou Yuan's eyes were startled, and after hesitating for a moment, he carefully inhaled the extremely pure Origin Qi into his body.

As soon as the Origin Qi enters the body, it moves along the eight meridians, and finally pours directly into the Qi Mansion, turning into a trace of sky-reaching black python Qi.

This process went smoothly without any obstacles, even smoother than usual practice.

Moreover, it is also more efficient. According to Zhou Yuan's estimation, he may have to practice for nearly an hour to achieve the same effect with the previous ray.

"Why does the origin beast in this sacred place possess such pure origin energy?" Zhou Yuan murmured.

His eyes flickered, and after a while, he seemed to have guessed something.

"This sacred place is transformed by the holy blood of the saint, and the source beasts in it should be the same. Therefore, they all have an extremely pure source of energy in their bodies. This source of energy probably comes from The fallen saint."

"Only in this way can we explain why such a small wisp can produce such a great cultivation effect."

Zhou Yuan's eyes became brighter and brighter. If this was the case, then hunting Origin Beasts in this sacred place would be a very efficient way to practice.

and...

He lowered his head and glanced at the Tianyuan Brush in his hand. After absorbing the wisp of white air, the third ancient source pattern on the mottled body of the Tianyuan Brush actually became brighter and brighter.

Obviously, absorbing that white airflow will also be of great benefit to the Tianyuan Pen.

If this situation continues, I'm afraid it won't be too long before the third source pattern of the Tianyuan Bi is awakened, and its quality will most likely reach the level of a high-grade Xuanyuan Soldier.

Of course, the most important thing is that every time a source pattern is awakened, Tianyuan Bi will gain an ability, which will be of great help to improve Zhou Yuan's combat effectiveness.

Now, in order to gain the strength to compete with Wu Huang, he must improve his combat effectiveness from various angles.

"It is indeed a sacred place."

Zhou Yuan sighed, and then his eyes gradually became intense. He knew that soon all the proud people who entered the Holy Land would know about this matter. By then, there would be many competitors.

"So, take advantage of now and take action first!"

Zhou Yuan held the Tianyuan pen tightly and looked at the deep mountains in front of him. There was a faint roar of beasts coming from it, so he no longer hesitated and turned into a shadow and rushed in.

Zhou Yuan's intrusion broke the tranquility of this mountain range. Most of the source beasts in the mountain range were around the third level in strength, comparable to the Tianguan realm, which was exactly the level that Zhou Yuan could deal with.

In just one day, Zhou Yuan broke into the depths of the mountain range, and it was not until here that he encountered an obstacle.

...

Deep in the mountains, Zhou Yuan looked at the ten-foot-tall golden ape in front of him. The latter made a deafening roar. At this time, Zhou Yuan stared at the golden ape with an extremely strange look.

The latter's strength has reached the peak of the third level, comparable to the late Tianguan realm.

However, what shocked Zhou Yuan was not the strength of this golden ape, but because... this golden ape actually practiced Origin Technique!

The last time he saw the Origin Beast practicing Origin Technique was Tun Tun.

But Tun Tun is obviously extraordinary. Could it be that the golden ape in front of him is just like Tun Tun? Possess an extraordinary bloodline?
