Chapter 1410: Divine Embrace Someone recognized that armor with a sudden cry.
"That's Divine Embrace!"
Allegedly, the Hall of Immortals had some sort of connection with deities and immortals possessing the secret of eternal life, with cultivation techniques of overwhelming might that could absorb the power of lightning and transform it into energy.
Li Feng's heart thumped. His opponent was truly strong indeed, with energy as vast as the roaring ocean. Not only that, he was clad in a mysterious armor that was able to absorb lightning of all forms, natural or otherwise. It would be difficult to take him down.
"Break!" The ninth Immortal King's voice was deep and commanding, just like a deity descending from the heavens.
His void halberd trembled violently as it tore the void apart. A cross-shaped scar appeared in the air. Destructive energy filled the arena as the void energy exploded, poised to tear it all apart.
The energy that the ninth Immortal King possessed was shocking in its density and scope. The spectators found chills running down their backs, as though the apocalypse was nigh.
The cross-shaped scar in the void exploded in a blaze of endless light. In the face of divine radiance, all would be scoured clean.
Even so, a shocking phenomenon occurred.
"[The Boundless Blade: Dragon's Annihilation]!"
A silver dragon manifested around Li Feng's blade.
The dragon's howl shook the air. Li Feng activated his sword technique, forming the impression of a true arclight dragon that raised its head to the heavens and roared. The nascent energy trembled.
Though the void exploded, the explosion was torn apart. No destruction could spread and hurt Li Feng.
Li Feng raised his sword and struck at the void halberd.
"[Striking Sun and Moon]!"
Li Feng unleashed a devastating strike as bright as the blazing sun.
The sword slashed the sky, and the stars fell. Sword energy flared, and for a moment, it seemed like even the sky was about to be bisected.
The ninth Immortal King blocked the blow with his halberd in an explosion of the void. The sword energy caused even the stars to explode.
Li Feng engaged in a melee and punched forward with a fist, and the ninth Immortal King responded with the same. He was prideful and confident, and rightly so.
The two combatants' fists smashed together, illuminating the heavens in divine light. The intense wave of energy that resulted from the clash cracked the arena at their feet in a frightening explosion.
Blood dyed the air red.
Li Feng's hand was bruised, battered, and bleeding.
The ninth Immortal King's calm countenance slipped. His hand, too, was bleeding.
"What? How could the successor to the Hall of Immortals have received such an injury? This is unprecedented! Just who is this challenger?!" a loyal, long-time servant of the Hall of Immortals cried out. "This must be one of the secluded geniuses of the strongest factions!"
His face suddenly paled.
"[The Boundless Blade: Shattered Sun]!"
Sword energy roiled. The technique splintered the glowing sunlight and replaced it with a silver glow, transmuting that sunlight into something that boosted Li Feng's strength. The sword energy tore apart the sky.
Sword and halberd met in a spray of silver light and ruby-red blood. Even the bones of the two combatants' fingers began to crack.
The ninth Immortal King released his fists. His blood shone with silver radiance, encapsulating overwhelming strength. A deific mist formed around him, emanating waves of such energy that all the spectators shivered.
What was this? Everyone was shocked.
"My blood does not flow freely," the ninth Immortal King stated.
He stood amidst the void, surrounded by runes of blinding light. The blood that fell from him transformed into a silver humanoid figure, giving off an indomitable aura.
Bypassing the constraints of space, it flashed right up to Li Feng, prepared to kill him in one blow.
The Immortal King's blood was itself a treasure beyond any measure, boasting tremendous energy. The silverblood lifeforms that formed were tremendously strong, with bones and tendons forged of divine light. Each drop of blood manifested as such a lifeform.
"Kill him!" the ninth Immortal King commanded.
This was a bloodline power. The silver blood was streaked with gold flecks, vibrant and splendid.
Zhang Lie frowned. "This virtual space really is impressive, to even be able to capture bloodline effects. It's difficult to tell reality from simulation."
"[The Boundless Blade: the Trembling World]!"
Sword energy roiled. An arclight dragon reared its head. The technique splintered the glowing sunlight.
The sword energy grew brighter and brighter, until it surpassed sun, moon, and stars in light. The will of the sword seemed to manifest physically into the form of a dragon that made to rip apart heaven and earth.
Space shattered and stars fell like rain.
A series of explosions rang out as the silverblood lifeforms' runes flared. As though burning with divine flame, they gave off tremendous energy.
"Break his defenses!" the ninth Immortal King commanded, tossing out the void halberd in a long arc.
"[Dance of the Incandescent Wyrm]!"
Li Feng summoned dozens of serpents, flaring with blinding light.
The void shook as the ninth Immortal King's body flared with light, sealing space in his vicinity. Even time seemed to stop. The light was red as blood. A ball of blood transformed into a bright red phoenix, which cried out as it unfurled its wings.
"[Holy Dragon Transformation]!"
Silver light dyed the entire world. Genetic energy swept over Li Feng's body and manifested as a dense layer of silver scales, like a suit of silver armor. Antlers grew out of his head, and his hair turned a radiant silver.
Li Feng gathered large quantities of light-attuned genetic energy, more than what he could reasonably bear, for a moment of explosive strength. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ ɴøvᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
He slashed forward with his sword, the radiant energy manifesting like a dragon. Under the effect of his [Holy Dragon Transformation], Li Feng's speed increased to such an extreme that a thousand afterimages seemed to trail him.
A thousand sword slashes tore apart the phoenix in a moment.
Even the ninth Immortal King was shocked by Li Feng's speed.
"It looks like my bloodline isn't pure enough. I'll have to purify it more," he murmured.
Even so, it was sufficient. At his signal, the silverblood lifeforms around him transformed back into drop after drop of blood, filling the sky with divine radiance. These orbs of blood, flashing silver, transformed into dense patterns that formed a seal in a spherical region around Li Feng.
"Ninth Immortal King's Nine Seals!" he shouted. Silver light billowed around him with flashes of gold. A divine aura suffused the arena.
Even the spectators in the stands had chills. This was an unfathomable strength, as though a pocket world had been established with no way out. This was a prison, an impregnable one!
In the void, each drop of blood corresponded to a single rune. Silver and golden light flared with blinding radiance, like a divine flame roaring to life, surrounding Li Feng and sealing him away.
