Chapter 1266 Heavenly Punishment Rod

When a voice rang from within the blood-red bone coffin, Chi Bei’s pupils abruptly shrank and he immediately operated the coffin’s power to its full without any hesitation. He wanted to turn Zhou Yuan to blood and bones.

A blaze of bright blood-colored light erupted from the coffin.

But as blood-colored light rushed up, a faint voice sounded. “Heavenly Punishment...” Then, Chi Bei sensed a terrifying power breaking out from the coffin.

He could feel a familiar energy...the power of the Law Domain stage!

"How is that possible?! How could he possess Law Domain power?!” Chi Bei’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Zhou Yuan was clearly at the advanced Nascent Source stage and there was still a whole level between him and the pseudo Law Domain stage, so how could he possess Law Domain power?

Kacha!

But regardless how shocked he was, the power within the bone coffin continued to frantically soar, causing crack to rapidly spread across the coffin.

With a dark and unpleasant face, Chi Bei folded his hands in a seal and suddenly made a pulling motion.

Boom!

The grey Law Domain fiercely vibrated and endless grey qi gushed towards the red coffin.

The grey qi left speckled marks as it touched the bone coffin and each mark began to gather astonishing power.

The speckles marks’ appearance gradually stabilized the coffin about to explode.

Chi Bei didn’t stop after that. His eyes were filled with chilling intent.

“How would I let you escape from my hands?!”

Chi Bei slashed his withered flesh with his skeletal hand and sliced off chunks of flesh.

Pu!

Then, he spat out several mouthfuls of essence and blood, landing on the chunks of flesh. The flesh suddenly squirmed and transformed into nine blood-red talisman paper.

The several flesh talisman paper fluttered onto the bone coffin.

Everything suddenly stilled as though completely suppressed.

Chi Bei’s pale face turned even paler than before and even his breathing became labored. This move clearly exhausted his strength.

"Zhou Yuan, you’re not bad since you could force me to use the flesh talisman paper to suppress you.

"But you shouldn’t resist anymore. I have operated the bone coffin’s power to its peak. You will be turned to blood and bones in 30 breaths.

“You will no doubt die today!”

Chi Bei’s voice was filled with thick killing intent.

Many Wanshou Heaven experts’ turned grave when they saw his gaze.

Zhou Yuan managed to escape from the previous dangerous situation, but who would have thought Chi Bei would be so fierce and tough and able to suppress Zhou Yuan again.

It seemed impossible for Zhou Yuan to escape this time.

Once trapped in the bone coffin, anyone would be turned to blood and bones and lose their life.

Many Wanshou Heaven experts let out a mournful sigh.

It seemed that even Zhou Yuan, who had created unbelievable miracles in Guyuan Heaven, would be defeated.

Ai Tuanzi also split her attention from her battle and cast a glance over at Zhou Yuan’s side. She couldn’t help frowning when she saw Zhou Yuan suppressed inside the bone coffin.

After all, Zhou Yuan was fighting for their Wanshou Heaven. Wanshou Heaven’s reputation would be affected if he lost his life here.

Th other heavens would think the Wanshou Heaven was incompetent.

Additionally, Zhou Yuan had a close relationship with Tuntun, so if something were to happen to Zhou Yuan, there was a possibility of Tuntun going crazy.

Incessant thoughts streamed through Ai Tuanzi’s head and she eventually made up her mind. If Zhou Yuan couldn’t escape, she had no choice but to take action. Even if that meant Chi Yuan would dominate the battle on her seed battle platform.

But since Zhou Yuan was involved, she couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

While all gazes were on the battle platform where Zhou Yuan was, Zhou Yuan, who was trapped inside the bone coffin, assumed a serious expression.

He could feel terrifying power wildly rushing towards him from the darkness. Additionally, he could smell death within that power.

He was undoubtedly in a dangerous situation.

Law Domain power pulsed around him to resist the grey Law Domain’s corrosion.

That Law Domain power was precisely from his Heavenly Punishment Saint Runes. “Law Domain power is indeed amazing.” Zhou Yuan marveled in his heart.

This was his first time going up against an opponent with a Law Domain. Chi Bei still brought a lot of trouble to Zhou Yuan even if he was only at the pseudo Law Domain stage.

Having witnessed the mysterious power of the Law Domain stage, Zhou Yuan extremely looked forward to the time when he could open up a Law Domain himself.

He scanned the dark surroundings. The bone coffin was formed from Chi Bei’s Law Domain, meaning there were only two ways to destroy it. The first was to forcibly destroy it with absolute power, which wasn’t a realistic choice for Zhou Yuan because he was in an inferior state in terms of Genesis Qi foundation.

Since that was the case, he could only choose the second way, which was to break it with Law Domain power.

However, it was difficult to break the bone coffin given his Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune’s level in the past.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes dropped slightly. But fortunately, as his strength increased, his Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune wasn’t the same as it was before.

He slowly lifted his hand into the air, a mysterious rune faintly flickering in his palm.

Zhou Yuan wore a calm expression. The Nascent Source in his Divine Dwellings had already mobilized all Genesis Qi and directed them along his meridians and towards the Heavenly Punishment Rune in his palm.

His Spirit in the center of his brows also operated all its advanced Transformative stage Spirit power without any reservation.

Zhou Yuan’s arm began to crack, as though unable to endure such powers. However, while he grunted, he activated his Saint Glass Body and forcibly held onto the rune in his palm.

He activated his power to its peak.

As all of Zhou Yuan’s powers rushed to his palm, the Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune erupted in a blaze of dazzling light.

That light seemed to contain infinite mystery like a new world was born.

But as the light grew increasingly blinding, Zhou Yuan’s arm withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the end, when all the blood in his arm dissipated, the dazzling light also faded.

Zhou Yuan appeared to be gripping onto an object with his withered hand. He suddenly pulled it out from the darkness with a wrench.

It was a mysterious yellow iron rod.

The iron rod seemed to possess boundless power because Zhou Yuan’s hand was constantly trembling when he tightened his grip around the rod. Gazing at the mysterious yellow rod, a smiling expression filled his exhausted eyes.

Then, he peered at the darkness ahead. There, terrifying power was rushing towards him and trying to corrode and consume him.

Zhou Yuan raised his arm, waving the iron rod, and swung it down.

A whisper sounded in the darkness, “Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune...Heavenly Punishment Rod!”

...

“30 breaths..."

Outside the bone coffin, Chi Bei was smiling, but that smile was particularly sinister and hideous on his withered face.

Time was up.

"Zhou Yuan, go die. Your death will help I, Chi Bei, develop my reputation within the Sacred Race.” Chi Bei roared with laughter as he spread his arms wide open.

Genesis Qi suddenly exploded around Ai Tuanzi. She sped into the air and unexpectedly was going to help Zhou Yuan.

But it was at that moment—

A boom rang inside the coffin and cracks soon spread across the coffin.

Bang!

Before Chi Bei could react, the coffin burst apart and the flesh talisman paper on it crumbled into powder.

Countless fragments whirled in the air.

A figure shot out from the bone fragment-covered sky and appeared like a ghost in front of Chi Bei, who was a little dumbfounded.

Zhou Yuan’s face was cold and stern. Clasping the iron rod tightly, he swung it down at Chi Bei.
