Chapter 1392: The Natural Laws Retreat

No matter how blinding the light was, the spectators gritted their teeth and continued watching, refusing to miss even a single moment. Being able to witness this confrontation of the ages, this battle of wills that exceeded the limits of the realm, was worth it.

The spectators found their souls trembling.

Heaven and earth resonated with the will of the sword and the aura of the godlike being within the sun. Overwhelming sword energy, like a sunset sea, swallowed up the sun and suppressed the light.

The vase Resplendent Sun held in his hands suddenly grew larger. It was glazed bright red, almost like the color of blood, and sprayed out flames of even greater incandescence.

The next moment, the firebird, azure simurgh, golden sunbird, and phoenix all merged into one cohesive whole. Firelight swamped heaven and earth.

The divine birds perished together in an attack of overwhelming strength and force.

At the same time, before the divine birds, the color of the flames changed. They turned black, then deep purple, then the color of blood.

The divine birds had vanished, leaving pure flame behind. The flame spread like dripping blood, heading straight toward Zhang Lie with overwhelming strength.

The bright red light seemed to contain some otherworldly, sinister power, enveloping Zhang Lie and turning the skies bright red. It was so hot that even the arena below them was flaming.

Even though the spectators were protected by the laws of the virtual realm, they could feel the scorching heat.

Zhang Lie raised the blade in his hand high into the air, encircled by black genetic energy.

"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!"

The temperature had dropped to sub-zero values, and a strong wind buffeted the battlefield. Blood-colored frost appeared around the two combatants.

The blazing flames all over the arena were snuffed out the moment they came into contact with the black snowflakes.

A stellar 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.

Each serpent was pitch-black like the abyss, like the dark of night, and speckled with starlight, a miniaturized version of the Milky Way. The serpents were guides and ferrymen both, leading departed souls into sky and space, freed from the mortal coil.

As Zhang Lie\'s sword swung down, the stellar river struck the mortal world.

Starlight glowed and illuminated the arena, clashing with the divine fire in the air. The sky turned black one moment, flaming red the next, then glittering silver. The clash of the two energies caused cracks to form in the virtual realm.

Subsequently, incredible aura radiated from Zhang Lie. It looked as though a deity had manifested in his body.

"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!"

Pitch-black genetic energy expanded through the battlefield. The genetic energy looked as though it had come from the abyss, or perhaps from the expanding, limitless universe. Starlight struck the genetic energy in a flash of surprising beauty.

The night sky morphed into a raging sea. Waves surged forward, sounding like peals of thunder, like stampeding hooves. The universe itself seemed to shake, as though the stars were shifting positions.

The surface of the stellar sea frothed with waves, layering and texturing it. Auroras hung in the air, veiling the night sky. From afar, stellar dragons seemed to roar. The pitch-black dragons were like the night sky made manifest. Thunder and lightning crackled in the air.

Dragons unfurled their wings amidst a storm of lightning. The auroras stretched on for thousands of miles, so beautiful they captivated the gathered hunters.

Zhang Lie struck. An underworld river hurtled into existence, roaring into the sea. The sword energy roiled like black waves, like a meteor shower, causing the very stars to shake.

The entire night sky shifted as a thousand stellar dragons descended, as though a crack had broken in firmament. A flood that could destroy the world itself rained down. The sea had morphed into a boundless battlefield. The sea breeze was as a horn to action, and the serpents, thousands of courageous soldiers heeding its call.

The stellar dragons shot straight toward the sun hanging in the air. As they smashed into it, it grew more and more cracked, before finally shattering under the stellar dragons\' combined assault.

The golden sun was obliterated. Swift as lightning, Zhang Lie charged forward. Guicang slashed at Resplendent Sun\'s neck, while Hanguang pointed between his brows.

Resplendent Sun\'s body transformed into fire, resisting Zhang Lie\'s peerless blow. He defended himself with his bejeweled vase, forming a screen of light before him.

Guicang struck the vase with a clear, resonant ring, a strike targeted at the spiritual rather than the physical. The red vase\'s light swiftly dimmed. Divine fire was snuffed out as the vase trembled violently.

With the vase handled, Guicang struck at Resplendent Sun\'s neck, drawing blood with a golden slash.

Resplendent Sun brimmed with flame as he swiftly retreated, a battered sun shrouding him.

The spectators raptly watching the fight were dazzled by the speed at which the combatants moved. Too much had happened too quickly; no one could catch all of what had happened.

Radiant Sun was no longer seated cross-legged as though in meditation. He stood, a frightening wound horizontally across his neck, brimming with blood. He had almost been beheaded. He wiped at his neck with his hand, healing himself as he blazed with fiery light.

Zhang Lie\'s black hair fluttered in an evanescent wind. He looked like a deity. Stellar light surrounded him as he strode forward in preparation for an attack.

"[The Boundless Blade: Dragon\'s Wrath]!"

The stellar dragons exploded in a burst of starlight.

Guicang unleashed a barrage of sword energy in the form of a stellar dragon. The dragon\'s howls shook heaven and earth. The stellar energy that filled the battlefield transformed into a massive stellar dragon that took to the skies. Its massive body curled up above the arena, triggering manifold facets of natural law.

"[Solar Null]," Resplendent Sun called out. He stepped through the void, transforming into a solar vine, his actions brimming with dawn light. Golden flames burned overhead like a blazing sun. Flames poured out of him, shielding his body and blocking Zhang Lie\'s stellar attack.
