Chapter 1171: Gambling with Fate

Chapter 1171: Gambling with Fate Fang Yi leveled his spear. Wind and lightning surged forth. Scorching white flames and lightning were sucked into the flames; the lightning turned white. Wind and lightning combined into a devastating attack.

The white flames turned back on their creator, and the Star Devourer caved in.

Fang Yi, his entire body badly burnt, panted loudly for breath, but he never stopped moving.

Meanwhile, the Star Devourer launched yet another attack, drawing flames in and spurting them out in the form of dozens of flaming lances.

"[Wheel of Time]!" Fang Yi's spear took on the aspects of time and age. Temporal winds buffeted the spear, and a mysterious light began to circle the spear like lightning.

A wheel of light appeared behind Fang Yi, taking on the form of a clock. Fang Yi thrust his spear forward so quickly it left dozens of afterimages in all directions, sending the lances flying away.

He launched his spear, crackling with wind and lightning, with incredible force. It sent wind howling and lightning flashing through the sky. Hundreds of afterimages appeared all around him, and his spear thrusts landed like raindrops. The Star Devourer manifested a hurricane of flame to counter the attack.

The hurricane and spear thrusts clashed against each other repeatedly in small bursts of flame. Fang Yi's spear was incapable of handling fights of this level; it had already begun to crack from Fang Yi's sixfold ultimate, and those cracks were propagating as the battle continued.

In truth, even Fang Yi was gritting his teeth and barely holding on.

He had less than half his wind and storm energy left. His sixfold ultimate consumed far too much of his reserves, and Fang Yi had barely had time to rest during this high-intensity fight.

Compared to his previous two fights, he had clearly grown much stronger. It was only because of his improved stamina that he was able to last so long; if he had fought with a similar intensity in the fight against the solar king, he would long since have collapsed.

As his spear clashed against the Star Devourer's flame, a second wheel of time appeared behind him. His spear was filled with cracks, but even so, it took on the aspect of a dragon of the winds and a storm tiger as he charged forward.

"[Tiger's Howl, Dragon's Bellow]!"

A windstorm raged, and thunder crackled.

The boost afforded by the wheels of time caused wind and storm to wrap around Fang Yi's body as though he were a spear. He shot toward the Star Devourer again.

The Star Devourer formed a wall of fire around itself, but Fang Yi tossed his cracked spear forward without any hesitation at all. The firewall burst apart, and Fang Yi retrieved a new spear from his dimensional storage.

The moment he was distracted changing his weapons, the Star Devourer emerged from the flames.

"[Floating Clouds]!" Fang Yi morphed into lightning for mere moments, and the wind swelled around him. He left dozens of afterimages behind as the Star Devourer flew by, trailed by a pack of flames. The afterimages vanished from sight as Fang Yi, bearing with the scorching heat, howled, "Godbane Strike!"

Zhang Lie's eyes widened.

He knew what Fang Yi was planning; that was why he was so worried. Fang Yi's body was on the verge of giving out, whereas the Star Devourer was stronger than before. This was undoubtedly a tremendous risk.

Fang Yi broke through the constraints of time and returned to the frozen world of gray, with him the only spot of color within.

Wind and storm combined and crackled at the tip of Fang Yi's spear, imbuing it with sharpness and penetrating strength beyond measure.

.

Fang Yi compressed that energy again and again, until even the space around the spear started getting sucked in. The tip of the spear punched through space as though it were nothing more than paper.

The combination of elemental, temporal, and spatial energy at the tip of the spear multiplied the strength of Fang Yi's attack beyond what should have been possible.

Golden threads surrounded wind, storm, time, and space.

Fang Yi combined [Born of Lightning, Swallowed by the Wind], [Tiger's Howl, Dragon's Bellow], [Heaven's Judgment], and the power of karma—transforming his fivefold combination of energies into a sixfold one. Wind, storm, time, space, and now the mysterious power of karma...

All these sources of energy were stacked together, like buff after buff.

A dragon of purple lightning and tiger of green wind, shielded by a barrier of time and shrouded by black spatial energy, slowly began to manifest. Storm winds were sucked into the mix.

The power of his strike transcended both of its constituents, time and karma.

The strike touched the notion of fate, that all things were predetermined in the long, winding river of time.

The combination of wind and storm, spatial force, void lightning, time and space, karma and fate—all of it combined into a hurricane. The eight different kinds of energy stacked on top of each other and were refined into a cocoon.

As Fang Yi infused more and more of his own energy into the attack, the threads of eight different colors began to separate.

The void lightning combined with the spatial rift that was forming and tore apart the space around Fang Yi.

Against the eightfold confluence of energies, even the reinforced high-dimensional space seemed liable to collapse.

The eighteenth layer of space simply made it more difficult to invoke spatial manipulation; it wasn't much more reinforced. On the contrary, it was even more unstable than ordinary space and easier to collapse.

The energies combined, somehow managing to stabilize the mix of energies that ran rampant around Fang Yi.

Fang Yi sent a stream of each type of energy swirling and corkscrewing around the tip of his spear. Sᴇaʀᴄh the NʘvᴇlFirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

The confluence of the eight different energies gave birth to a mysterious hybrid. As the forces continued to revolve around each other, the wheels of time behind Fang Yi began rotating more and more quickly as the space around him was strained to its utmost. If not for the king of chaos sealing the space around the hall, the hall would have collapsed.

Even more shockingly to the king of chaos, despite his personal reinforcement that made use of energy from the deepest parts of the abyss, even that energy seemed as though it would be insufficient to handle the shockwaves emanating from the attack.
