Chapter 1519: The Black Full Moon
Chapter 1519: The Black Full Moon
Just what could possibly have caused a cultivator who could summon even the chieftain of the Solarvines to crash this tournament designed specifically for a younger generation of cultivators?
The answer clearly lay within the pillar of light that emanated from the altar.
The man smirked. "Do all of you think you can win against a formation like this?"
Zhang Lie asked coldly, "You aren't trying to get us to surrender, are you?"
"What do you think?"
"Rush to the altar!" Zhang Lie immediately shouted.
A huge fight unfolded.
A golden lamp floated in the air. Flames fell from the lamp to the ground. A cultivator stood above them all.
The hunters retaliated in a burst of elemental force.
The Immortal King's substitute swung his halberd before him, straight at Li Feng.
"Scram!" White light shone brightly from Li Feng. "[Light Dragon's Remnants]!"
He marshaled his genetic energy into the form of a large number of white dragons, bombarding the area before him.
The confrontation between the two cultivators caused the entire palace to shake.
A divine hymn shook the heavens. Ruby light arced from the halberd, red as fresh blood.
Radiant Sun clasped his hands together. A jeweled vase appeared above his head, shining with divine might. Compared to Resplendent Sun, he was far stronger and more powerful. He clashed against Zhang Lie in a burst of light.
"Kill!" Yang Ze faced off against the man with the golden lamp. They were fierce rivals, and they began to clash with overwhelming force.
"[Dance of the Incandescent Wyrm]!"
Dozens of arclight dragons exploded in the air.
In barely any time at all, the Immortal King's substitute's shoulder had suffered an injury. He didn't even have time to summon his Divine Embrace.
Despite having grown stronger, the Immortal King's substitute remained unable to suppress Li Feng.
The man with the golden lamp blew his flames toward the Immortal King's substitute, attempting to aid him against Li Feng, but Yang Ze made a move first.
[The Boundless Blade: Daybreak] flashed, the strike forming a long river through the skies. The attack was infused with spatial force, and the cultivator had to defend himself with his lamp.
"[Arclight Dragon's Imprint]!"
Li Feng waved his left arm, around which a torrent of light-attuned genetic energy was gathering. It took the form of a gigantic dragon's claw, bearing down on the enemy like a beam of light. The beam of light, shot through with metal-attuned genetic energy, struck the Immortal King's substitute.
The two cultivators clashed once again. Li Feng was forced back, but the Immortal King's substitute's halberd also began to vibrate violently. The Immortal King's substitute's palm began to bleed where it gripped the haft of the halberd.
Feng Xian scattered golden lotus petals that transformed into balls of energy and shot straight at Zhng Lie.
Three arrows, brimming with purple flame, flew forward like tracking missiles.
"[Lunarflame Shot]!"
The three flaming arrows exploded in mid-air in a brilliant burst of fireworks in the vicinity of Feng Xian.
Sun Mengmeng had sniped her from afar. "I don't like the looks of you. You keep staring at Zhang Lie, at our captain!"
A golden path of light rapidly pierced through the flame. Qingyue Ge stood right at its head. "Miss, I'm coming for you!"
He closed the gap between them.
"[Baptism of Hellfire: Phoenix Rising]!"
Sun Mengmeng whirled her daggers all around her like a phoenix spreading its wings. A tail of fire glowed with radiant light, causing the stars themselves to quake.
"Scram!"
The flames shot forth in a whirlwind.
The two combatants clashed amidst a space of howling void. Flames rose up from them both, curling up into the air. Golden lotuses sprouted and rooted themselves, as though dying and rebirthing within the omnipresent flames.
The golden lotuses grew thirty meters tall, overwhelmingly huge, golden from stem to root to leaf to flower. They seemed to be endowed with divinity, with command over nature and the environment.
As the golden lotuses shook, they emitted golden runes, sending the flames roaring higher and higher.
Feng Xian took the initiative to attack once more. She looked to be a genteel beauty, but her attacks and movements were sharp and decisive, with no wasted movement whatsoever. Her aura was oppressive. She struck like a storm.
Zhang Lie flicked his wrists, causing a frightening aura to descend on the world. The skies began to darken, and a fish the size of a whale materialized in the air.
[Fists of the Silent Sea: Soar] swept over the arena. As more and more genetic energy gathered around Zhang Lie's arms, it looked as though he were at the heart of a whirlpool.
Ripples of energy spread out from Zhang Lie, warping the space around him. The towering waves looked like enraged black dragons, flooding the area.
As the waves burst apart, the air filled with echoes of Zhang Lie's signature genetic energy, shattering space and swallowing up all life in its vicinity.
The ground quaked.
As the pale blue sea of genetic energy extinguished the golden flames and forced everyone back, Feng Xian's body suddenly grew taut. Her bones turned silvery-white as she shot toward Zhang Lie like an arrow.
"[Divine Arrow]!" She blurred; her attacks were so fast they were almost impossible to detect.
"Stay far away from Zhang Lie!"
Sun Mengmeng drew on her emotions as she attacked. A huge burst of flame filled the hall.
"[Lunarflame Shot]!"
Sun Mengmeng's right hand blurred as countless arrows of purple flame shot out of her bow like a meteor shower that tinted the air purple and gave the battlefield a phantasmagorical appearance. The air turned dry and arid, as though a cataclysm was nigh.
Feng Xian demonstrated the pinnacle of spatial manipulation, transforming her into a divine arrow that shot through the void at extreme speed but which simultaneously allowed for rapid changes in direction. She evaded the lunarflame attacks.
The woman continued barreling forward, obliterating any obstacles in her way.
Water-attuned genetic energy dispersed from Zhang Lie's body and formed a whirlpool, drastically affecting Feng Xian's speed.
Under the brilliant purple sky, the flames burst apart and drenched the hall in a sea of fire. Water-attuned genetic energy formed steam as the fire landed on it.
One figure tore apart the mist.
"[Baptism of Hellfire: Full Moon]!"
Sun Mengmeng whirled her daggers all around her as a black moon rose into the air.
The ground exploded. Flames burst into the sky. Cracks of lava spread across the ground.
Sun Mengmeng stabbed forward with a dagger, the black moon behind her exploding as she shot forth.
Purple flames transformed into her raiment. A long tail of flames whizzed by behind her, radiating a phantasmagorical glow. Like a meteor, she shot forward.
