Chapter 865: Heaven\'s Might

"Your world hasn\'t suffered any losses. You gain nothing by fighting me." Feitian swam toward the middle of the blood sea, reaching out as though hoping to save Potian, who had yet to die from its wounds.

Zhang Lie slashed at him, sending a wave arcing overhead. "And what of the elite fighters who perished in battle? What of the dead from the Zongming world? If you had succeeded in the offense, would you have left and retreated if we had told you that you\'d gain nothing from us? No—you\'d have sucked up the world\'s energy first."

If Zhang Lie hadn\'t been present, Li Zongming would have perished from the assault, and Li Qianlin would have suffered a grievous fate.

Zhang Lie was immensely relieved that he had accompanied Li Qianlin to the merger ceremony and prevented such tragedy.

Feitian\'s eye narrowed. The giant eyeball on its head seemed to pierce through Zhang Lie. "Do you really intend to wage war against me?"

"Wage war?" Zhang Lie scoffed at the notion. No, I\'m here to destroy the xuluo world!"

Zhang Lie activated [Ninecarp Transformation]. Water-attuned genetic energy wrapped around his sword and cascaded down it like a waterfall. As he unsheathed Guicang, a pale blue shark rose into the air from behind him.

Feitian\'s body emerged from the depths of the blood sea. It was then that Zhang Lie realized that Feitian had more than one head—he had at least a dozen, each of which were strung along its body. Each of its heads had only one eye and one mouth. The sea of blood began to froth; its body filled the entire sea.

Feitian\'s enormous white wormlike body was visible beneath the sea of blood.

At this point, Zhang Lie was starting to get used to the grotesque bodies of the strongest xuluo.

"[The Boundless Blade]!" Zhang Lie swung downwards with a heavy blow, and the shark swam forth.

Feitian\'s eye glared at the shark, causing it to burst apart in mid-air. By this point, it had cultivated heaven\'s might to such an extent that it could kill an opponent by glaring and thinking about attacking that opponent.

"[Ninecarp Transformation]!" A black serpent materialized anew behind Zhang Lie, resembling the world-swallowing serpent Jormungandr. He didn\'t fear Feitian\'s stare at all. With just a moment\'s thought, the serpent wrapped around Zhang Lie\'s arm.

"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!" He struck once more. An underworld river materialized in space, one so vast the entire world could see it. Everything turned cold, and the temperature dipped below freezing. A layer of thin blood-colored ice appeared over the sea.

A strong wind buffeted the battlefield. Blood-colored frost appeared around them all. The world was turning into a hellscape. As though the doors to hell had just been thrown open, tens of thousands of serpents rushed out in a flood as Zhang Lie swung Guicang at Feitian.

The serpents flew through the sky and straight toward it.

Feitian glanced at the serpents, which began to explode as though they were fireworks.

"It\'s useless!" it cried out. "No matter how you attack me, you won\'t be able to succeed. My heaven\'s might has identified a path to victory—one in which you\'ll only leave this world as a corpse!"

Zhang Lie ignored Feitian\'s words. He lifted the blade in his hand high above his head as pitch-black energy exploded from him, looking like a demon descending on the world.

"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!" Black genetic energy filled the battlefield. Even the xuluo had never seen genetic energy so vast and so concentrated—his genetic energy roared as it took the form of a vast, angry sea.

Waves charged forward, sounding like peals of thunder, like stampeding hooves. Countless serpents swam across the raging sea as lightning flashed ominously overhead, a scene right out of an apocalypse.

As Zhang Lie struck, an underworld river hurtled into existence, roaring into the sea. The sword energy roiled like black waves. The sea had morphed into a boundless battlefield. The sea breeze was a horn to action, and the serpents, thousands of courageous soldiers heeding its call..

As Feitian glared again, the underworld river exploded. The serpents within were killed and transformed into pitch-black genetic energy. The exploding serpents reformed into a black tide, which returned to the sea. The surface of the sea began to froth, as though dragons were emerging from deep below the surface.

Feitian frowned. Its body squirmed and shifted deep within the sea of blood. As it invoked the king of the realm\'s authority, a large patch of the sea clashed against Zhang Lie\'s underworld river in a massive explosion of water.

"[The Boundless Blade: Dragon\'s Wrath]!" Zhang Lie thrust forward with Guicang, summoning a blood dragon.

A dragon\'s howl shook heaven and earth. The blood dragon tore apart the seawater as it charged toward Feitian, which glared at it. Unlike before, however, heaven\'s might was ineffective against the dragon.

Feitian was shocked. Its tail emerged from underwater. Infused with heaven\'s might, it struck the blood dragon, which exploded and fell to the sea in a rain of blood.

Feitian\'s humongous eye seemed to be able to pierce through anything. "You\'ve developed some form of heaven\'s might yourself!"

Zhang Lie didn\'t respond. He wasn\'t a fool; he had encountered heaven\'s might more than once or twice. It would be silly of him not to take advantage of the opportunity to emulate his opponents\' techniques for himself.

Feitian nodded to itself. "No wonder my heaven\'s might was ineffective—you boast your own version of the technique. Only heaven\'s might can counteract heaven\'s might—but if you\'ve developed a form of heaven\'s might yourself, you\'ll have to suffer my karmic backlash too. You\'ll die here today!"

"Oh? I decide when I die, not heaven, and certainly not some ersatz mockery of heaven\'s power like you!"

Hanguang appeared in Zhang Lie\'s hand. As he swung the blade, two of Feitian\'s arms were chopped off its body...
