Chapter 1329: Father of Chaos
Bu Wentian replied, "I don\'t know, but Azathoth was very interesting."
"In what way?"
"The reward he requested was very interesting."
"What did he request?"
"I\'ll tell you once you beat him," Bu Wentian replied.
"Why not now? It\'s hardly going to make a difference. Don\'t forget, they barely survived Radiant Sun\'s attacks, while I had the ability to defeat him outright!"
"Since you\'re so confident, let\'s get started." With a wave of Bu Wentian\'s hand, Azathoth\'s name began to glow on the stone tablet.
A beam of light shone from the tablet onto the arena, and a giant clam formed.
The clam had sixteen straw-like legs. This giant clam seemed very familiar, as though Zhang Lie had seen it somewhere before. It gave off huge quantities of pitch-black fog, which transformed into a palm that swiped at Zhang Lie.
Pale blue genetic energy rippled about Zhang Lie\'s arms. He flicked his wrists, causing a frightening aura to descend on the stage. The stage seemed to darken, and a fish the size of a whale materialized.
"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Soar]!"
A howling gale swept over the arena. As more and more genetic energy gathered around Zhang Lie\'s arms, it looked as though he were at the heart of a whirlpool.
A huge wave soared into the air. As Zhang Lie punched forward, the fish slammed its huge tail on the ground and sent a torrent of water surging.
Ripples of energy spread out from Zhang Lie, warping the space around him. The towering waves looked like enraged black dragons, flooding the space and striking the palm of fog.
The clam emitted even more black fog, which formed a whirlpool that blocked the flood of pale blue genetic energy, resulting in a huge rumble that caused the arena to shake and the void to tremble.
As the waves burst apart, the air filled with echoes of Zhang Lie\'s signature genetic energy, the tide causing explosions that shook the air and dissipated the clam\'s black fog.
"[The Boundless Blade: Yawning Wave]!"
Zhang Lie extended his pointer finger like a sword, and water-attuned genetic energy gathered around it. As he waved his finger, sword energy erupted like a wave.
The sword slash left a scar on the clam\'s shell.
A raging shark swam forth and bit down on the giant clam, which emitted even more black fog to drown the shark and destroy its structure. The shark dissolved into ripples of genetic energy.
"[Ninecarp Transformation]!"
A black serpent, which resembled the world-swallowing serpent Jormungandr, appeared. It let out a threatening hiss as its scales clicked together.
Pitch-black genetic energy spread over the arena in corrosive dark clouds. However, the clam seemed to be resistant to this sort of attack. Its body hurled itself toward Zhang Lie like the head of a freight train.
Zhang Lie leapt high into the air to avoid the clam\'s attack.
Huge quantities of black fog seeped out of the crack in the clam\'s shell, forming dozens of hands that attempted to catch Zhang Lie.
As Zhang Lie activated his blood ant and dragonwolf soulshards, he transformed into a dragonwolf with russet fur and limbs covered with dragons\' scales. His aura became magnified as a hurricane of blood spawned around him.
Bloody claws rent the black fog in the air.
The next moment, Zhang Lie vanished from sight. He appeared above the clam\'s shell, then swiped downward, his claws imbued with a bloody glow.
The clam was smashed against the stage, and Zhang Lie\'s bloody claws left scars on the clam\'s shell.
"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!"
As Zhang Lie punched forward, a blood dragon roared in outrage and slammed into the shell..
A wave of annihilation exploded around the dragon. Pitch-black energy swallowed everything in the vicinity like a storm at sea. Pulses of energy spread over the arena.
The explosion was like a black hole that sucked up everything in sight, devouring the entirety of the clam.
By the time it dissipated, all that was left was a clam whose shell was cracked and about to shatter. As the shell fell away, a strange and ugly lifeform was revealed from within.
It had claws that seemed to behave like tentacles, and a screaming face embedded in its chest. It looked like a cross between an octopus and a beast, and its screams affected one\'s will and soul. Zhang Lie couldn\'t help but feel that the creature in front of him was very familiar, just like the shell he had seen.
Quickly, Zhang Lie realized what he was reminded of—the king of chaos and his summons.
As though having found an important clue, Zhang Lie looked at the shattered fragments of the clamshell on the ground, then thought of the seal that the king of chaos had placed on him.
"Could this Azathoth be the father of the king of chaos...?"
Azathoth emerged from the shell, then made to claw at Zhang Lie.
Black genetic energy burst forth from Zhang Lie, as though there were hundreds, thousands of dragons surging throughout his body.
"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Hundred Dragons Soaring]!"
A horde of dragons launched out of Zhang Lie\'s left arm as he expended half his genetic energy in one supercharged attack.
Howling with the force of thunder, a horde of over a hundred black dragons flew toward the octopus-like entity, directed by Zhang Lie\'s punch. They were fierce and domineering, and all hundred of them boasted the power of annihilation.
Azathoth was swamped by the bombardment of over a hundred dragons, but as expected of a challenger who survived Radiant Sun\'s ultimate attack, he didn\'t die even when subject to such bombardment. New flesh quickly grew from its battered body.
Azathoth seemed to possess far more vitality than even a cockroach.
Zhang Lie struck with Guciang, tearing apart Azathoth\'s limbs, but it simply reconstituted them.
"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!"
Zhang Lie raised the blade in his hand high into the air, encircled by black genetic energy. The temperature of the air dropped to sub-zero values, and a strong wind buffeted the two combatants present.
An underworld river materialized in the air. As though the doors to hell had just been thrown open, tens of thousands of serpents rushed out in a flood.
