Chapter 1083: The Frightening Zhou Ying
Upon noticing the energy emanating from Zhou Ying, the solar king immediately grew incensed. He shouted, "Why are you radiating the energy of my mulberry tree? What have you done to it?!"
Zhou Ying smiled, showing her teeth. "The tree was very tasty, thank you."
"You ate it?!"
The golden mulberry tree was a vital part of the world of blazing sun, a national treasure.
It was able to maintain the integrity of the lava veins that flowed underground and produce huge quantities of golden birds.
Following Zhou Ying's pronouncement, perhaps because of the solar king's anger or because of the instability caused by the loss of the mulberry tree, the lava veins exploded.
The ground cracked, sending lava and fire all over.
Zhou Ying, Li Feng, and Fang Yi didn't much mind. After all, the environment was already inhospitable to them. It had already been hot enough to cook someone alive; a little more heat made relatively little difference.
For the solar king, however, the fact that Zhou Ying had absorbed a treasure of his world made him want to tear out his hair in rage. "I'll kill you all!" he gritted out.
The solar king raised his arms high above his head. Eight thousand suns appeared in the air, compressing into a galaxy as it fell toward the three hunters.
Li Feng pointed at the sky. "Leave this to me. Deal with the fire giant! [Holy Dragon Transformation]!"
.
Silver light dyed the entire world. Genetic energy swept over Li Feng's body and manifested as a dense layer of silver scales, like a suit of silver armor. Antlers grew out of his head, and his hair turned a radiant silver. Li Feng's aura strengthened.
He shot toward the falling galaxy as he reminded Zhou Ying,
"It can resurrect indefinitely, so it's quite troublesome! [The Boundless Blade: Godkiller]!"
Silver radiance swept forward in a tide, like a whole herd of holy dragons. Golden threads mixed and intermingled with the light, infusing the attack with the karmic power Li Feng had intuited while consuming Potion #4.
That silver light, imbued with golden threads, formed a mysterious sea, simultaneously real and illusory, which existed in between both realms.
The transient, illusory nature of the light captivated everyone who saw it.
The intersection of the real and the illusory—Li Feng's strength combined both domains. Thousands of holy dragons swept across the sky. This was a strength that transcended this realm, and Li Feng's blade could kill even a transcendent god.
With this strength, which converted legend into reality, the solar king's galaxy was wiped away—not destroyed, not blocked, but rather wiped clean from reality.
Li Feng's attack cut the karmic link between the galaxy and the world of blazing sun.
The solar king's face distorted. If he were struck by Li Feng's blade, even his resurrection ability might be unable to bring him back. He would be wiped off the face of the world.
On the neighboring battlefield, Zhou Ying's performance was even more shocking to the solar king. As the fire giant charged toward her with all the momentum of a freight train, the entire world of blazing sun shook.
Lava and red flames surged toward her with its advance. The fire giant had gathered so much momentum that a shield of wind formed around it.
Zhou Ying casually waved a hand. Hundreds of thick roots emerged from the ground. The golden roots easily pushed past the flames and the wind and tangled themselves about the fire giant's feet.
The fire giant suddenly tripped, slamming down onto the ground and rolling like a car tire until it smashed against the feet of two mountains.
"[Avatar of the Fae: Earthbound Prison]!" As Zhou Ying released all her stored energy, the ground began to quake. The sun at Zhou Ying's back shone with piercing light, illuminating the land.
The ground quaked as thousands of golden wood dragons emerged from the earth, each three hundred meters wide. They wrapped tightly around the fire giant. Despite the giant's struggles, the golden vines, brimming with vitality, regrew quickly even when the giant tore them apart.
The solar king was shaken. "This is impossible!"
He couldn't accept the fact that the fire giant had fallen prey to the golden vines. "This is impossible. The fire giant's a construct of tremendous heat and energy. How can these vines restrain him?"
Zhou Ying shook her head. "These are no ordinary vines, you see."
The solar king glanced at the vines carefully. He quickly identified the crux of the issue.
"You've imbued the mulberry tree's energy into these vines!"
"Exactly," Zhou Ying replied, with a snap of her fingers.
After absorbing the golden mulberry tree's strength, the vines and roots that Zhou Ying summoned now possessed extreme fire and heat resistance, and they could even absorb nourishment from the lava veins underground.
Neither the fire giant's heat nor the solar king's blazing suns would do anything against Zhou Ying's vines and roots.
Zhou Ying had undergone a complete metamorphosis.
The furnace on the giant's back burned vigorously as it emitted red light, as though the core of the furnace were absorbing the energy of the world.
The giant struggled even more furiously. As its strength increased, it easily tore apart the vines surrounding it.
"Don't resist!" Zhou Ying released all her stored energy once more. The ground began to quake. The sun at Zhou Ying's back shone with piercing light, illuminating the land. "[Avatar of the Fae: Worldbound Enclosure]!"
Tens of thousands of golden wood dragons emerged from the ground, curling around the fire giant's body and the furnace on its back. A rainbow gleam of energy emanated from the furnace and over the wood dragons' bodies as they began growing golden leaves.
The solar king noticed this unusual phenomenon immediately. His face turned stark white. "Bastards!"
Zhou Ying had somehow managed to use the golden wood dragons to absorb the world of blazing sun's energy through the proof of kingship. If the dragons were to keep sucking out energy, the world of blazing sun could very well be drained all the way down to the size of a small world.
Zhou Ying had noticed the best way to stop the solar king.
"Stop what you're doing, right this instant!" the solar king roared, then made to pounce toward Zhou Ying.
"Heh, have you forgotten? I'm your opponent."
