Chapter 1432: Counteracting Fate

Chapter 1432: Counteracting Fate "Do you really think you'll be able to change your fate just by being lucky enough to pick up a stone of counteracting fate? That's just a joke."

Xing Yu continued to try to shake Fang Yi's confidence with a verbal assault.

"I'm your opponent, not the stone of counteracting fate! [Floating Clouds]!"

As if in response to Fang Yi's internal struggle, wind and lightning raged around him. The six wheels of time to his back blazed.

Wind and storm surged from the wheels, providing explosive strength that propelled Fang Yi forward

Starfire continued to explode in the air. Bolstered by temporal force, Fang Yi moved at a rapid clip, shooting forward with starfire.

"[Born of Lightning, Swallowed by the Wind]!"

As Fang Yi shouted, his spear traced a half-moon in the air, surrounded by an aura of time. Light and shadow flashed by its tip, just like the wind and lightning that made up the core of Fang Yi's techniques. The spear pierced space abruptly, spawning a rift that turned its surroundings gray. All movement was locked in time.

The only color in the space, the only movement, came from Fang Yi.

"It's useless!" Xing Yu was far different than before. His back glowed with silver radiance like an active volcano, shattering the space of gray stasis with his own strength.

Fang Yi thrust forward with his spear, and Xing Yu countered with his fist. Silver light exploded like a volcanic eruption.

Both combatants glowed with inner light as they fought each other fiercely, exchanging hundreds of blows in an instant.

Zhang Lie turned to the spectator beside him and asked, "What happened during the confrontation between the Starlit Legend and the underdog?"

"As Xing Yu said, the Starlit Legend won in the end—and simultaneously lost."

Zhang Lie rolled his eyes. "What, is the Starlit Legend supposed to be like Schrodinger's cat?"

Sun Xiaowu added, "Is the Starlit Legend of the Stargods' legends supposed to be a radioactive particle?"

The spectator clarified, "The Starlit Legend did win the fight, but he was grievously injured and perished not long after."

As the battle raged on, more and more wheels of time accumulated by Fang Yi's back. The arena continued to deteriorate and break down. After hundreds of clashes, Fang Yi had stacked twenty-five wheels of time. Unlike before, however, Xing Yu was perfectly able to match Fang Yi's tempo with the support of the stone of starlit fate.

"Your techniques aren't impressive. I've been able to deal with them all," Xing Yu stated.

"Try this, then!"

The twenty-five wheels of time released blinding light to Fang Yi's back as they expanded through the air. Wind and storm surrounded them.

"[Heaven's Judgment: Four Sages' Roar]!"

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

The combination of wind and lightning generated a frightening force that seemed to be able to penetrate space. Chaotic and spatial energy joined in the mix—a miniaturized version of his signature fivefold strike, at least at the level of a fourfold strike.

A black turtle and divine bird rushed out of the mix of chaotic energy, spatial rifts, wind, and storm.

The wind resolved into a stormwind dragon. Spatial force transformed into a qilin, with the void as its claws and lightning as its whiskers.

The lightning transformed into a white tiger wreathed with howling winds, spatial force forming its sharp claws and chaotic energy condensing into its eyes.

Spatial force manifested in the form of a divine bird, space its feathers, the storm its body, lightning its beak, and chaotic energy seeping from its feathers like burning flames.

The chaotic energy transformed into a black turtle, spatial force into its shell, lightning into its legs, and the stormy wind its head.

The twenty-five wheels of time to Fang Yi's back, with twenty-five associated afterimages, duplicated the technique.

A hundred divine beasts appeared in the air, forming a pack of massive proportions. The lightning that crackled through the air was so bright that the spectators could barely open their eyes. Space distorted as chaos reigned supreme. Wind and storm roiled, tearing apart the void.

The moment Fang Yi thrust forward with his spear, his twenty-five afterimages combined into a cohesive whole. The pack of a hundred divine beasts rushed through the air, forming an unassailable force.

Xing Yu rampaged, countering the blow with a massively strengthened version of his own. His divine armor glowed with light, haloing him in what seemed like a barrier of invincibility. He clashed with Fang Yi with ringing blows.

Not only were the horns on his head shining with light, his hands were forming seals. He employed one of the strongest techniques of the Stargods—the Stargod Seal!

Runes flashed all over the void cage, an arcane script that thrummed with power.

Any other hunter would suffer greatly in a fight of such proportions, because Xing Yu was the master of the cage and lord of the domain within.

His hair was in disarray. The holy light radiating off his body grew more concentrated. His armor shone with divine radiance, holding Fang Yi back with mounting pressure. Xing Yu's divine armor was far too powerful; it was difficult, near-impossible, to penetrate.

The pack of divine beasts struck the Stargod Seal. The forces of void, wind, lightning, space, chaos, and starlight exploded in the air. A weaker hunter would be obliterated by the explosion.

Within the tempest of chaotic energy, two figures could be seen clashing with one another, as fierce as dragons. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Every clash left the ears ringing; every clash was filled with destructive might that threatened to obliterate the arena.

As they exchanged hundreds of blows, Fang Yi formed a thirty-fifth wheel of time.

Without the reinforcement afforded by the stone of counteracting fate, Fang Yi's body would have shattered.

He seemed to be standing on the other side of the river of time. With thirty-five wheels of time, each of his attacks was 3.5 seconds faster than they should have been, and he would be able to launch thirty-five spear thrusts in the span of one.

Even Xing Yu was starting to have a hard time keeping up with Fang Yi's speed.
