Chapter 585: The Pride of a Genius!

"Fine, since that's the case, I'll grant your wish!"

After the black-clad man spoke, the entire ninth floor dimmed.

He raised his palm, and an extremely狂暴 aura spread in all directions.

A massive azure dragon gradually took shape, coiling behind the black-clad man, its face ferocious as it stared at Ye Yuan.

Although he knew it was just a dharma image, Ye Yuan still felt immense pressure.

A gale swept through, lifting the hem of Ye Yuan's clothes.

Before the palm force was even unleashed, an overwhelming momentum surged forth.

"This Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm is said to be able to shatter the sky; it truly lives up to its reputation! He suppressed his cultivation to the eighth level of the Sea of Transformation and used only twenty percent of his true dragon power, yet this ultimate palm has such威力!"

The black-clad man's palm strike was far more powerful than Ye Yuan had imagined!

The difficulty of the ninth and eighth floors was indeed not on the same level.

No wonder the black-clad man had kept urging him to withdraw from the ninth floor—the difficulty was truly变态!

He really wondered if the master of the Haotian Tower was psychologically twisted to set such a difficult trial. How could anyone possibly pass it?

And without a doubt, the black-clad man's true dragon power had clearly been cultivated to an extremely high level. With only twenty percent of his true dragon power, he could unleash such a terrifying technique.

Ye Yuan stared unblinkingly at the black-clad man, imprinting every movement into his mind.

Suddenly, a hint of a smile flickered at the corner of Ye Yuan's mouth: "So that's it!"

He slowly closed his eyes, and the muscles in his body began to vibrate in a strange rhythm.

Imitating the black-clad man, Ye Yuan raised his palm and mobilized all his true dragon power!

A faint shadow appeared behind Ye Yuan—it was also a dharma image of an azure dragon!

Seeing this, the black-clad man's pupils contracted, and his eyes showed an expression of disbelief and shock.

"This kid... how did he do it? This is my first time using the ultimate palm of the Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm, and he... he actually learned it? How is that possible?"

At this moment, the shock in the black-clad man's heart was beyond words.

He truly couldn't imagine how monstrous a talent it would take to comprehend the Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm in such a short time!

Could there really be a youth with such逆天 talent in this world?

The black-clad man was now at a critical point in his technique; he forcefully suppressed his shock and continued.

"Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm: Shattering Stars!"

With a sharp shout from the black-clad man, the dharma image true dragon roared forth.

The momentum was truly earth-shattering and heaven-moving!

A dharma image true dragon flew toward Ye Yuan, brandishing its claws!

Being able to condense a dharma image indicated extremely powerful bloodline power.

And the true dragon dharma image was one of the most difficult to condense. Even among the true dragon clan, few could do it.

Thus, the azure dragon before him was on an entirely different level from those in the previous two floors.

At that moment, Ye Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and as if using all his strength, he pushed the dharma image behind him forward.

Compared to the black-clad man's azure dragon dharma image, Ye Yuan's was much more illusory and smaller, clearly inferior.

But that wasn't the key—the key was that a rookie like Ye Yuan could actually condense an azure dragon dharma image!

"Boom!"

The two azure dragon dharma images collided violently, and the resulting shockwave spread across the entire ninth floor!

The black-clad man stood motionless in the storm; such a powerful impact had no effect on him.

But Ye Yuan was not so lucky. He spat out a large mouthful of blood, suffering a tremendous shock.

If his body hadn't been transformed by dragon blood and was now far stronger than before, this strike would have killed him!

However, it wasn't over yet!

The black-clad man's azure dragon dharma image directly crushed Ye Yuan's and continued charging toward him!

But by now, the dharma image azure dragon was only a faint shadow, having consumed most of its true dragon power.

"Ten Thousand Rain Blades!"

Without any hesitation, Ye Yuan forcibly suppressed his injuries and unreservedly mobilized all his primal power to execute Ten Thousand Rain Blades!

"Boom!"

Another violent collision!

But this time, the momentum was far less intense than before.

Ye Yuan spat out another mouthful of blood and collapsed weakly to the ground.

Although the dharma image azure dragon was only a faint shadow, its power was still extremely strong.

Forcing his primal power while injured had aggravated his wounds, and the subsequent violent impact left him extremely weak.

Nevertheless, the black-clad man's dharma image azure dragon was finally completely consumed by Ye Yuan.

The black-clad man watched this scene, silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "I truly can't imagine how you managed to comprehend the Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm! What a pity... According to that guy's requirements, you must stand up in the end! But now you're severely injured and your primal power is exhausted. Forget standing up, you can't even move!"

The black-clad man was indeed shocked, but he couldn't defy the master of the Haotian Tower's requirements.

If Ye Yuan couldn't stand up, he had ultimately failed!

"But don't regret it; you've done exceptionally well! The Haotian Tower doesn't forbid martial artists from entering a second time. With your talent, the ninth floor will be nothing to you in ten years!" the black-clad man comforted.

Lying on the ground, Ye Yuan seemed provoked and began to struggle.

"No... it's not over yet!"

Ye Yuan suddenly clenched his fists and used all his strength to try to get up!

The black-clad man's expression changed. His assessment of Ye Yuan's injuries should have been correct.

According to common sense, Ye Yuan simply couldn't stand up, but...

This kid...

"Thud!"

Ye Yuan struggled a bit but fell to the ground again.

"Stop struggling! If you keep this up, you'll die! Give up; the Haotian Tower can heal your injuries!"

Seeing Ye Yuan so stubborn, the black-clad man couldn't help but feel anxious.

The final palm of the Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm was no joke. Ye Yuan's injuries were compounded, and even with his dragon-blood-transformed body, he had reached his limit.

If Ye Yuan kept this up, his life would truly be in danger!

"No! I... I can... stand up!" Ye Yuan said stubbornly.

He was breathing heavily, like a bellows, clearly at his physical limit.

Yet, he stubbornly propped himself up and slowly rose!

Even the black-clad man was moved by this scene; he wished he could go and help Ye Yuan up.

But the black-clad man knew that if he did, Ye Yuan would not only not thank him but would hate him.

Because that would not only make Ye Yuan fail the challenge but also trample on his dignity!

This was the pride of a peerless genius. Ye Yuan could die, but he absolutely did not need others' charity!

"I finally understand why you set up such a trial! He... is really just like you!" the black-clad man murmured, as if realizing something.
