Chapter 1362: Tigers Roar, Dragons Howl

Chapter 1362: Tiger's Roar, Dragon's Howl Bu Wentian explained, "According to the number of participants, they will be sent to two different trial chambers. You were alone, so the stone guardians you faced were post-peak-grade. When two or more people enter, they'll be sent to a trial chamber with disaster-grade lifeforms.

The six stone guardians shook their bodies, causing a flurry of stone dust to drift down toward the ground.

The six disaster-grade domains didn't cancel each other out. Rather, they seemed to enhance each other. Stormy winds caused huge waves to form and fires to blaze. The combination of wind and lightning... As a result, the members of Team Zenith found their actions and movement severely restricted.

"[The Boundless Blade: Expulsion]!"

A sword flashed, the strike forming a long river through the skies. The genetic energy burst apart in a shower of droplets. Ripples of energy spread out through the air, covering heaven and earth. They resonated until they reached a crescendo.

Bu Wentian, watching the scene unfold, laughed. "This person is very interesting. He's sly and crafty, isn't he?"

Water-attuned genetic energy was spliced together with spatial force, deftly hidden within the attack, so that only those who had significant affinity with spatial energy would be able to uncover it.

The waves surged toward the stone guardians' reinforced domains, shattering them with spatial force.

"[Goldenscale Palm]!"

Sun Xiaowu's arms glowed with resplendent light, and a layer of dense golden scales emerged over his skin. An aura of intense strength emanated from Sun Xiaowu's body.

Frightening shockwaves of energy radiated through the battlefield as Sun Xiaowu punched forward.

The disaster-grade golden ox rushed forward. The six disaster-grade stone lifeforms' jewels glowed brightly as they transferred their strength to the golden ox, who shone as brightly as the sun.

The domains of the other disaster-grade lifeforms were dispelled as the golden ox's domain flared. Unlike the other guardians, whose domains spread out around them, the golden ox's domain protected itself like an eggshell.

Sun Xiaowu's [Goldenscale Palm] struck the golden ox's domain with a tremendous explosion that caused the ground to shatter. A crack appeared on the golden eggshell.

"[Light Dragon's Remnants]!"

Li Feng marshaled his genetic energy into the form of a large number of white dragons. The six stone guardians each launched their own attacks, sending flames, pillars of water, bolts of lightning, blades of wind, and icicles of ice toward the white dragons, dispelling them all.

The six disaster-grade stone guardians' jewels glimmered brightly as they next transferred their energy to the flaming qilin. The ruby embedded on the flaming qilin's forehead scintillated with light as the qilin's scales turned dark red. Its aura became that of a post-disaster-grade lifeform, halfway to monarch-grade.

As the power condensed around the qilin, it howled. Its domain had been strengthened many times over. Hellfire spread out all around itself, turning the air scorching hot.

Sun Xiaowu leapt back to avoid being struck by the hellfire. Behind him, Sun Mengmeng stepped forward, drawing her bow. Flames erupted all over her body. Hellfire swept over Sun Mengmeng, forming a vortex around her.

Within the whirlpool, Sun Mengmeng's long hair floated in the air, burning like flames. Starlight fell.

Zhang Lie, watching the battle, sighed in admiration. "Sun Mengmeng's control over fire has grown even stronger."

After her match against Zhang Lie, Sun Mengmeng had worked tremendously hard on her cultivation as she considered her path toward strength.

Strengthening her flames with her emotions was ultimately a rather limited technique. After Zhang Lie's ascension, Sun Mengmeng worked hard to carve out a new path for herself.

Since it would be difficult to strengthen her own flames beyond a certain extent, she would manipulate flames external to her instead, converting it to her own strength.

Three arrows, brimming with purple flame, flew toward the enemy like tracking missiles.

"[Lunarflame Shot]!"

The three lunarflame arrows formed three pitch-black vortices of fire. The disaster-grade flaming qilin manifested a barrier in front of itself. The three vortices struck it and exploded like three resplendent fireworks.

The vortices that surrounded the disaster-grade flaming qilin continued to rotate, but the qilin easily shrugged them off. It was also a fire-attuned lifeform, and Sun Mengmeng's flaming vortices did little damage to it.

Zhou Ying's long hair fluttered in the wind, the color of crystalline jade. It gave off motes of vitality. She was so beautiful no one could take their eyes away, and golden leaves whirled around her. The tips of her hair produced gray fog.

The gray power gathered around Zhou Ying's forehead, which cracked apart. A gray eye budded from her flesh. It opened up to reveal a chaotic opal iris, which seemed to be able to penetrate flesh, soul, and space.

Each leaf was like a miniature sun, orbiting around the woman's body. To her back was a pair of golden wings. Above those wings was a glowing sun, giving off a radiant, holy light.

Her jade-green eyes were flecked with gold, and she seemed to have become one with the land. The vitality radiating from her was visible to the naked eye. Stellar light surrounded her as though she were a goddess given form.

Black energy formed a gauzy dress around her, sticking closely to her limbs and revealing her curvaceous features—no, making them even more curvaceous than they originally were. Two root-like tendrils writhed under her dress; her body radiated a seductive charm.

Zhou Ying seemed to simultaneously exhibit the charm of a holy priestess and a charming succubus.

"[Avatar of the Fae: Earthbound Prison]!"

She released all her stored vitality at once, causing the ground to quake as thousands of jade-green wood dragons rushed out of the earth. Each dragon was about six hundred meters wide, with skin flecked with golden radiance.

Thick wood dragons emerged from the ground where the hellfire had passed over. They had amazing resistance to heat, and were even able to absorb some of the hellfire's remnant energy to grow quickly. They shot toward the other stone guardians. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NʘvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

The other stone guardians tried to destroy the wood dragons with flames, pillars of water, lightning, and icicles, but the wood dragons, which had bathed in hellfire and were supported by Zhou Ying's impressive vitality and natural energy, were able to regenerate quickly despite the onslaught.

The six stone guardians' jewels glimmered brightly as they then transferred power to the disaster-grade black tortoise. The tortoise roared, causing the ground to quake, as the wood dragons were forcibly uprooted. Even so, they didn't perish, but instead wrapped tightly around the stone guardians.

The disaster-grade black tortoise fired a mud-yellow beam of energy all around itself, devouring everything like a sandstorm. The wood dragons were shredded to pieces.

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

Fang Yi's spear took on the aspect of a dragon of the winds and a storm tiger as he charged forward.
