Chapter 1067: Warlord Sun Xiaowu
The layer of ice that shrouded the giant beast burst apart, causing its foot to move.
"[Blinding Flash: Thousandfold Echo]!" Sun Xiaowu's body split into tens of thousands of clones, each simultaneously real and illusory. Against the foot that was the size of a city, Sun Xiaowu and his clones struck with a coordinated attack.
"[Goldenscale Palm: Qilin]!" The tens of thousands of clones performed exactly the same action. Golden light flashed from their arms and illuminated the sky.
The entire sky was covered in golden radiance. Tens of thousands of clones merged into Sun Xiaowu's main body, and the countless activated copies of the technique merged into one.
Golden scales covered up Sun Xiaowu's arm as it grew thicker and thicker, and the image of a golden qilin appeared behind him.
As he swung his fists forward, the golden qilin materialized, like a sun rising into the sky. The golden qilin pushed the mountainous beast aside, shattering the chunks of ice that served as its armor.
The mountainous beast opened its maw wide and shot out a blinding beam of light, but the golden qilin blocked it with an attack of its own. Ice rained down the sky as the attack landed like a nuclear explosion. Golden light rose into the air, and the overwhelming radiance forced all the onlookers to shut their eyes. The attack pierced the ground in an explosion of light,
but it only did limited damage to the mountainous beast, who was shielded by thick layers of ice that served as its armor.
Its continental size, bulked up further by the layers of ice over its body, made it unbelievably tanky and resistant to damage. The golden qilin's attack only served to break apart the topmost layer of ice, and had far less offensive ability than was necessary to deal damage to it.
"[Adamantine Aegis: Martial God]!"
Golden runes emerged from Sun Xiaowu's body and revolved around him as his aura grew stronger and stronger. As the golden runes merged with his genetic energy, Sun Xiaowu transformed into a mecha over a hundred meters tall.
Runes decorated his body, glowing behind his back like a burning sun.
The golden qilin forced the mountainous beast back. At the same time, Sun Xiaowu leapt high into the air, clenching his fists tightly. Golden radiance burned around his fists like a new sun as he struck at one of the mountainous beast's eyes.
Its eye destroyed, the mountainous beast roared in outrage, sending another burst of its white laser beam at Sun Xiaowu. Sun Xiaowu dodged the attack with agile movement in mid-air.
"[Blinding Flash: Self-Destruct]!"
Down below, Sun Xiaowu's clones suddenly radiated with golden light so bright the entire battlefield was illuminated. The next moment, they exploded, resulting in a terrifying storm. Golden blades embedded in the storm struck at the mountainous beast and caused the ice over its body to break apart.
The mountainous beast roared in outrage, rearing and elevating itself on its hind legs, then smashing heavily down onto the ice with its forelegs.
The huge impact caused the ice to crack and break into uneven chunks that destabilized the terrain. Huge chunks of glaciers fell toward Sun Xiaowu.
"[Golden Divide]!" Sun Xiaowu clasped his hands together, sending a golden beam of radiance into the air. It turned into a blade thousands of meters long.
.
Sun Xiaowu slashed down with both hands, cutting apart the wind and ice, leaving long scars across the frozen terrain all the way to the mountainous beast. The golden blade tore apart the beast's thick defenses, causing pale blue blood to seep out—but within moments, the icy aura surrounding the beast froze the wound over and patched up the injury.
Sun Xiaowu's face distorted. "Just what sort of ridiculous race is this?"
It was clear that the mountainous beast before him couldn't be compared to a disaster-grade lifeform. Sun Xiaowu was reminded of the monarch-grade lifeforms that Zhang Lie had been farming, but those lifeforms were far weaker than those raised in the wild.
Perhaps because of the damage it had taken, or because part of its ice armor had been sloughed off, the mountainous beast's movement was far more rapid than before. It attacked furiously, barreling toward Sun Xiaowu, its humongous body a weapon of war in its own right.
The mountainous beast used no skill or technique. Its speed and momentum alone was comparable. Icy wind surrounded its body, as though it were a moving blizzard.
The mountainous beast was so large that, even before impact, Sun Xiaowu was blown away by the surrounding blizzard.
"[Goldenscale Palm: Split]!"
The moment Sun Xiaowu landed on the ground, his body burst with golden light. He charged up energy as his body tensed, the layer of ice beneath his feet cracking. The cracks propagated all around him as the ground itself vibrated with golden light. Sun Xiaowu was like a golden bullet.
Layers of dense golden scales appeared on Sun Xiaowu's arms, and his right arm glowed with resplendent light.
As Sun Xiaowu attacked, so too did the golden giant that appeared around him, bringing the strength of his attack to a new level entirely.
The attack struck the mountainous beast in a gleam of light. The huge force of impact caused even the continent-sized beast to flip over.
The golden light, along with the force of the attack, caused chips and chunks of ice to fly all over. The overwhelming radiance forced all the onlookers to shut their eyes.
"[Blinding Flash: Thousandfold Echo]!" Sun Xiaowu split into a thousand clones, each of which summoned a golden mecha.
"[Golden Divide]!" The thousand mechas all used [Golden Divide] simultaneously. Each strike was like a miniature sun, and the entire sky turned glittering gold.
Each golden blade was ten meters wide and thousands of meters long, and there were so many of them they filled the sky. The golden blades formed a river, a waterfall, that tore apart the sky and headed straight toward the mountainous beast.
The mountainous beast had just clambered up to its feet when it was struck by the full force of the attack, which boasted so much penetrating power that even the chunks of ice all over the beast's body were unable to stop the attack from landing.
The golden blades broke past layer after layer of defense, leaving gruesome wounds all over the beast's body.
Wounds crisscrossed the beast's flesh, so deep and numerous that even the beast's icy aura was unable to freeze them all quickly enough. Pale blue blood continued to fall.
The mountainous beast roared in outrage, sucking in the icy air all around it.
As it did so, the blizzard howling about it strengthened in magnitude. A thick layer of ice froze over the beast's body, replenishing that which had been lost by [Golden Divide] at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Of course, Sun Xiaowu wasn't about to let the beast recover so quickly...
