Chapter 1409: Divine Phoenix
The ninth Immortal King\'s halberd turned blood-red as a phoenix took to the air, its feathers a lurid red. It gave off a blazing ruby light that clashed against the sword technique in the air. Golden light shone bright, and silver light scattered. Li Feng\'s arclight dragons keened.
Brave and fierce, Li Feng continued fighting, longsword in hand.
The clash of metal shook the very heavens. By now, the combatants had exchanged over sixty blows. This was a common experience for ordinary cultivators, but one too rare for the successor of the Hall of Immortals.
Some spectators had initially believed that the ninth Immortal King would take down his opponent within just a few blows, only to be surprised by Li Feng\'s endurance and strength.
The spectators watched on avidly.
With a whir, the void resonated as the halberd vanished, tearing apart a layer of space and suddenly appearing by the joint of Li Feng\'s arm, as if about to cripple him.
"[The Boundless Blade: Heaven\'s Gate]!"
Li Feng attacked relentlessly, unheeding of his injuries.
Li Feng struck with his sword. A river of holy light seemed to trail behind him, and arclight dragons could be seen amidst the light. The source of the river was a pair of ornate doors. As those doors opened up, countless arclight dragons poured out from behind the doors, forming a concentrated river of light.
Suddenly, with a flash, that white light was bisected.
Countless whirlwinds of sword energy were manifesting before him. The holy dragons that had been summoned in a dense horde were obliterated in bursts of white light.
The white light shot out all around like sharp blades. Millions of holy dragons transformed into millions of blades, more concentrated than even raindrops in a storm.
The phoenix soared into the air, red as blood, shining with golden light in a scene of surprising beauty. It blocked the blow and resolved the danger.
The divine light emerged once more as the resplendent halberd swung in a loop, forming an eternal sun.
Li Feng\'s gaze was severe as infinite radiance blossomed.
"[The Boundless Blade: Heaven\'s Gate]!"
Silvery-white genetic energy burst forth as Li Feng raised the sword in his hand high into the air, as though a god were descending on the world.
The entire sky was overshadowed by a silvery-white glow that faced off against the golden light.
Holy hymns began to ring through the air. The hymns seemed to pierce straight through the soul, until the spectators felt suddenly at ease, as though there was no strife with which to concern themselves.
Many of the spectators suddenly stilled upon hearing the music, caught dazed off-guard. Even the ninth Immortal King was momentarily stunned. The eternal sun vanished as his halberd stopped short in mid-air.
Like waves, the silver glow pulsed forward, lapping the shore, sounding like peals of thunder, like stampeding hooves. Each silver wave morphed into an arclight dragon, soaring through the air.
The surface of the sea frothed with angry waves, like dragons emerging with the tide. Countless arclight dagons soared through the sky, which thundered amidst forks of white lightning. It looked as though a holy world were forming in the sky.
Li Feng struck. A holy storm raged around him. Sword energy manifested as trailing dragons. A god descended as the heavens raged, as lightning forked through the air.
Li Feng\'s blade arced through the air and landed like a heavenly tribulation. Thousands of holy dragons smote the Immortal King. The crackling of thunder covered up the sound of hymns, as though it was a requiem for the world.
The successor of the Hall of Immortals quickly regained his senses as his gaze turned ardent. Strands of hair flew in the wind. He looked like a god come down from heaven, invincible and deific.
As he breathed out, he launched into motion, spurring forth his void halberd.
"My goodness!"
"This is his signature void slash!"
The spectators were yelling in shock at the amazing sight.
Many stumbled back instinctively, as though they were facing some sort of wild beast.
This was the fearsome aspect of the Immortal King\'s void halberd. When used at peak strength, it was able to cause immense destruction as it tore apart the void and triggered an explosion.
The resulting destruction was difficult to imagine; even a god might die from such an attack. No one believed that Li Feng would survive. Countless divine weapons had fallen, rent asunder, by this void halberd, transforming into nothing more than scrap metal.
The void slash seemed like an indefensible attack, and it was indeed so. Even the strongest opponent would be killed.
The void halberd gleamed like crystal as it gave off immense energy. As the Immortal King slashed at the horde of holy dragons, the void split apart and ignited a large explosion.
All the spectators stepped back instinctively, worried that the virtual realm might collapse again.
Shockingly, however, although the void did crack open and the void slash seemed poised to release its awesome power, it did so within a localized space, a pocket dimension forged with light-attuned genetic energy. The void slash shattered the world, but it had been sealed from the virtual realm at large.
A bolt of holy lightning shot toward the Immortal King.
"Hm?"
This outcome caused many of the spectators to gape in shock. Li Feng\'s counterattack, like a heavenly tribulation, was far stronger than anticipated.
The ninth Immortal King retaliated at full strength. The lightning in his deific armor surged forth in a huge serpent of lightning, a phoenix of purple flame.
Thousands of holy dragons exploded in the resulting storm.
The spectators gasped. The clash between lightning and lightning was incredibly destructive.
Li Feng\'s holy dragons quashed the electric serpent, and his sword slash cut off the phoenix\'s wings. The lightning imbued in Li Feng\'s sword arced toward the ninth Immortal King, causing his body to tremble. His body exploded in divine light, infusing his armor with energy as he attempted to block.
Lightning crackled, and silver feathers flew through the air in a storm. The Immortal King\'s divine armor grew crystalline, radiating with light as it absorbed Li Feng\'s attack.
The silver feathers gave off a blinding glow. Each feather boasted the same energy that Li Feng had emitted.
