Chapter 1526: Striking Sun and Moon

Chapter 1526: Striking Sun and Moon Silver and gold light interspersed as the light-attuned genetic energy formed a pocket space. The void slash tore apart that pocket space, but not anything that lay beyond it.

The might of the attack was encapsulated by the light-attuned genetic energy. The void slash struck the sword energy in a bolt of incandescent lightning.

Then, sword energy struck like a heavenly tribulation, boasting immense strength.

"Break!"

the Immortal King's substitute commanded, tossing out the void halberd in a long arc.

It gave off silver and red light in a brilliant flare, like a phoenix's rebirth.

The blow was accompanied by a phoenix's shrill cry, a spiritual attack whose might left the nearby cultivators clutching their heads in pain.

The void cracked and shattered.

As the halberd swung through the air, the heavens shook. Light and lightning erupted at the same time as the world of light shattered and was pierced through by the halberd.

"[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 obliterated the phoenix and blocked the attack.

It sought to control the very void itself, shattering all manner of divinity.

Though the void exploded, the explosion was torn apart. No destruction could spread.

The Immortal King's substitute had infused all his energy into this one blow, and the silver dragons were having a hard time suppressing it. As Li Feng whirled his blade around, the silver dragons formed a whirlpool that forcibly held the halberd in place.

The Immortal King's substitute's body shot through the void and punched at Li Feng at the most opportune timing, right when Li Feng was about to attempt to handle the remnant energy that the halberd possessed.

However, Li Feng had no intention of retreating. He punched forward with a fist, his face cool.

The Immortal King's substitute had not the confidence, pride, or arrogance of before. He no longer looked down on the cultivators of the world.

In his eyes were care, caution, and a desire to seize victory.

His gaze looked straight at Li Feng, not the image of the ninth Immortal King superimposed on all his opponents. Li Feng was his target now. The Immortal King's substitute had grown stronger than ever.

The two cultivators' fists met in an explosion of divine light. Even the altar at their feet exploded from the resulting shockwave.

Blood dyed the air red.

At the very last moment, Li Feng blocked the Immortal King's substitute's attack with his left hand. Simultaneously, he deflected his halberd at full strength. For this, he paid a heavy price. The shockwave from the attack struck him, sending his disaster-grade holy dragon sword flying out along with the halberd. His hand bled freely, and his fist throbbed.

The Immortal King's substitute blanched. His hand was bleeding, too. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the NƟvelFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Li Feng infused his hands with light-attuned genetic energy, triggering his regenerative abilities as the two cultivators continued to fight.

Neither backed down.

Whoever lasted longer would win; whoever retreated first was doomed to failure.

Sparks flew all over as the two cultivators' fists met once more. Like a phoenix undergoing rebirth, the explosion gave way to countless resplendent runes.

The spectators' ears hurt. Their eyes seemed to have suffered a burn, and their senses were all distorted. They were forced to narrow their eyes and seal their hearing, lest they be hurt just by watching the fight.

The clash of metal continued to ring out as the fight continued intensely.

A phoenix took to the air, its feathers a lurid red. It gave off a blazing ruby light.

Li Feng charged forward bravely.

Arclight dragons flew into the air, their scales shining, gleaming with dazzling light.

Divine energy surged forth as a golden hum caused the heavens themselves to reverberate. Within no time at all, the two had exchanged over sixty blows. Li Feng's long hair scattered to his back, his gaze clear and limpid, his fists shining radiant, his blood surging. The Immortal King's substitute had already incurred an injury in earlier fighting. The effects of those injuries were difficult to discern at the start of the fight, but as the intense fighting continued, those injuries became the Immortal King's substitute's downfall. He was one-sidedly suppressed by Li Feng.

The Immortal King's substitute didn't want to back down or admit defeat.

Losing twice to someone who wasn't even the ninth Immortal King was, to the Immortal King's substitute, a tremendous humiliation.

However, he had no choice but to admit that Li Feng was truly a strong opponent, stronger than even the ninth Immortal King to the best of his knowledge.

"Halberd, come!"

the Immortal King's substitute shouted. The halberd responded to his cry, vanishing where it had landed and zooming toward him through the void.

At that moment, Li Feng and the Immortal King's substitute were right next to each other. The halberd headed straight for Li Feng's lower back, causing the Immortal King's substitute to smile.

The halberd's blade was right about to strike Li Feng.

It would pierce straight through his body and return to the Immortal King's substitute's hands.

The man in dark green robes sighed. "Victory has been decided."

Zhang Lie blanched and shouted, "Li Feng, be careful!"

Upon sensing the spatial fluctuations from behind, Li Feng reacted rapidly. He resummoned the disaster-grade holy dragon sword from within his soulspace.

Soulshards would automatically return to their host's soulspace after being separated by too large a distance or for too long a time. Unless a host were to give up a soulshard voluntarily, no one else would be able to claim it.

Li Feng blocked the attack with his sword and sent the halberd flying again. At the same time, he unleashed a devastating strike as bright as the blazing sun.

"[Striking Sun and Moon]!"

He struck at the Immortal King's substitute.

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 void exploded, as did the stars.

His Divine Embrace, which had just been repaired, was damaged once again.

A long scar was left behind on the armor. Blood seeped out from the wound.

The Immortal King's substitute's face twisted more than ever before.

Li Feng had been paying careful attention to spatial fluctuations all this time. After all, having fought with the Immortal King's substitute and the ninth Immortal King before, he knew that the successors of the Hall of Immortals were fond of dirty tricks.

An attack that pierced through the void was hard to detect, and he had to be on the lookout at all times.

The man in dark green robes sighed. "In the end, this descendant of mine won't amount to much."

These petty tricks would be useless in a fight of this magnitude. Their fighting spirit, experience, and strength could hardly hope to be diminished by such tricks.

All that such a trick would accomplish was to give one's opponent an opening with which to strike.

"[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.

The Immortal King's substitute swung his halberd through the void. A phoenix cried out as the skies lit up in rosy hues.
