Chapter 1165: Snatched Away

The golden qilin radiated light, illuminating the hall.

Even the massive halls of chaos seemed small in comparison to the golden qilin. The gathered guests retreated from the arena in surprise.

The golden qilin\'s body was so large as to render the metallic hurricane ineffective. Spatial force flickered as the metallic cylinders were haphazardly scattered about.

As the metallic cylinders regrouped and attacked the golden qilin, the golden qilin swiped its claws at them.

Sun Xiaowu didn\'t notice that a few scattered, lifeless cylinders were floating into the air and vibrating rapidly. They shot toward him from behind at an incredible speed.

Fortunately, the golden mecha served as a first layer of protection, blocking the cylinders for the barest of moments before they pierced through the golden mecha\'s genetic barrier. By that time, however, Sun Xiaowu had realized what was happening. He sent a punch at his back, deflecting the attack.

As the metallic cylinders surrounded the massive golden qilin, they began to duplicate again and again, turning into a dense forest of metallic cylinders that surrounded the qilin\'s body like a swarm of mosquitoes. If the cylinders were allowed to duplicate again and again, the golden qilin would soon be swallowed up.

Sun Xiaowu glanced at the golden qilin. The next moment, the qilin self-destructed. Golden radiance flooded the halls of chaos, devouring the metallic cylinders within moments. Even the king of chaos frowned.

The most turbulent of chaotic energies, sufficient to swallow up even a sun, formed a barrier around the golden energy so as to prevent the explosion from affecting any of the guests.

The golden genetic energy was so concentrated as to be able to disrupt space and cause the metallic cylinders to sublimate. The energy that spread beyond the confines of the arena was all siphoned off by the energy of chaos. After the energy faded away, all that remained were burning-red, half-melted metallic cylinders barely floating in the air.

"[Blinding Flash: Ten Thousandfold Echo]!" Sun Xiaowu split into ten thousand clones, each of which summoned a golden mecha.

All of Sun Xiaowu\'s clones simultaneously asked, "Shall we keep fighting, then?"

Sun Xiaowu stared at the metallic cylinders that lay scattered about the hall. "Or do you think you can beat me with this half-formed refuse?"

Sun Xiaowu\'s clones glowed with light as the floating metallic cylinders fell weakly to the ground, signaling the Parter of Veils\' surrender.

The king of chaos reversed time and reconstituted the Parter of Veils anew.

With a voice akin to metal rasping against itself, the Parter of Veils announced, "I apologize for my taunts. I admit your strength."

The king of chaos intoned, "State your wish."

Sun Xiaowu thought for a moment, but in the end, he replied, "I don\'t need anything right now. May I defer my wish for the moment?"

"Yes," the king of chaos replied, "as long as you\'re ready by the end of the banquet."

Sun Xiaowu dispelled his clones and walked off stage, making a victory sign as he strode up to his sister.

Subsequently, Yang Ze walked onto stage. "Who\'s my opponent?"

The Lord of Dimensions phased through space and appeared directly before him.

Yang Ze sucked in a deep breath and asked, "Can I get a different opponent? I\'m not a big fan of dogs or bugs."

The Lord of Dimension bared its sharp teeth and pounced toward him.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea]!" Yang Ze invoked his authority over space, which combined with his water-attuned genetic energy and formed circlets around his arms. As he punched forward, the ripples knocked aside the Lord of Dimensions\' sharp fangs.

Those fangs, however, were imbued with authority over space. They broke apart the ripples on contact.

In the eighteenth layer of space, spatial authority was hard to invoke and harder to control. Only a shred of spatial force had been imbued into Yang Ze\'s attacks, and the Lord of Dimensions easily nullified them, just like a pair of scissors snipping at thread.

"[The Boundless Blade: Shark Frenzy]!" Waves suddenly appeared in the sky, shimmering like a mirage. Spatial fluctuations rippled as Yang Ze activated [Mirrored Refraction], but the attacks never reached the Lord of Dimensions.

The Lord of Dimensions clenched its teeth, phasing through the sharks and preparing to bite Yang Ze.

As its teeth tore Yang Ze apart, water-attuned genetic energy burst from the \'body\' and sent the Lord of Dimensions flying. The shark turned back and made to chomp down on the Lord of Dimensions, but even so, it was still able to phase through space. It appeared right by the shark\'s head and bit down, causing the shark to explode in a burst of water-attuned genetic energy and sending the Lord of Dimensions flying once more.

The Lord of Dimensions was propelled high into the air. Meanwhile, Yang Ze stood at the edge of the arena, gathering water-attuned genetic energy around him and manifesting lotus after lotus.

"[The Boundless Blade: Expulsion]!" He slashed forward with his sword, which sent the crystal lotuses whizzing through the air. The Lord of Dimensions phased and appeared right by Yang Ze\'s back, where he bit down again. This time, its teeth passed right through Yang Ze\'s body.

The Lord of Dimensions was bewildered—it could sense spatial fluctuations from Yang Ze\'s body. Yang Ze had actually managed to invoke spatial authority even on the eighteenth layer of space!

The king of chaos praised, "Zhang Lie\'s companions truly are a group of geniuses. I\'d love to make them my companions, but it looks as though mine are still lacking."

Yang Ze was accomplishing what Li Feng had likewise managed—to be familiar enough with the constraints of the third realm to be able to invoke spatial authority even in the eighteenth layer of space.

Beside the king of chaos, the All-Mother asked, "Why not take them by force, leader?"

The king of chaos shook his head. "That would be far too inelegant. I\'d not have a group of puppets, but rather a cadre of warriors who would fight alongside me."

Beautiful crystalline lotuses floated around the Lord of Dimensions, but what happened next was far less beautiful.

The lotuses burst apart right in the Lord of Dimensions\' face, causing shards of ice and water-attuned genetic energy to blind it.

The shards of ice scored and embedded themselves into its face in waves of shocking pain.
