Chapter 1185: Spatial Relic
"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Soar]!"
Pale blue genetic energy rippled about Zhang Lie's arms. He flicked his wrists, causing a frightening aura to descend on the world. The hall began to darken, and a fish the size of a whale materialized in the air.
A howling gale swept over the hall. 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 arena.
A huge rumble shook the heavens, and the entire hall quaked. The Shining Trapezohedron began to emit light, and Nightdemon hid within a layer of space.
Zhang Lie called out, "This is a scam!"
The layers of space split apart again as Nightdemon appeared where he had been standing. "This is my weapon..."
No wonder the king of chaos was so confident—Nightdemon's abilities were all but fraudulent.
Zhang Lie hurried to attack before Nightdemon could phase away again.
"[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, accompanied by a giant shark.
Zhang Lie didn't switch up his techniques again. The king of chaos and Nightdemon were largely aware of what he could do. Of course, there were a few trump cards up his sleeve, but he wasn't planning on revealing them readily.
As Zhang Lie's sword energy flew toward Nightdemon, Nightdemon hid once more within the folds of space.
When Nightdemon reappeared, the shark spun around the hall and continued chasing after him. His Shining Trapezohedron emitted another burst of light, dividing the shark's body into six fragments.
Clearly, in the eighteenth layer of space, even the Shining Trapezohedron's abilities were weakened to some extent. In ordinary space, the shark would have been cleanly divided into 24 fragments.
"[Ninecarp Transformation]!"
The black serpent, which resembled the world-swallowing serpent Jormungandr, let out a threatening hiss as its scales clicked together.
Nightdemon flapped his wings as he swooped forward, the Shining Trapezohedron glowing once more. Zhang Lie's shadow fuzzed as it too was torn into six pieces.
Blood-red light flashed as Zhang Lie appeared atop Nightdemon's head.
"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!"
Zhang Lie punched forward, and the black serpent behind him shot forth.
The Shining Trapezohedron began to emit light, and Nightdemon hid within a layer of space.
The next moment, the space above Zhang Lie's head began to peel, layer by layer. Not only did the Shining Trapezohedron allow Nightdemon to hide within deeper layers of space, it even allowed him to pass through those layers.
Nightdemon swooped down with fangs revealed as Zhang Lie dodged to the side and simultaneously grabbed at the Shining Trapezohedron.
The space around Nightdemon separated into six portions. Zhang Lie didn't dare step inside, and he hurriedly retreated. His black serpent shot into the distorted space and was broken up into six fragments.
If Zhang Lie had charged forward recklessly, he was the one who would have been torn apart.
The Shining Trapezohedron was an incredible relic, one that would make it incredibly difficult to take down Nightdemon.
"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!"
As Zhang Lie punched forward, a blood dragon roared in outrage and shot forward.
Nightdemon had seen [Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade] multiple times, and knew that he wouldn't be able to block the attack easily. He hurriedly flapped his wings to distance himself from Zhang Lie, then activated the Shining Trapezohedron to isolate the space around him.
The blood dragon swam among the deepest six layers of space without exploding. As that space contracted, it became trapped within the Shining Trapezohedron.
"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Hundred Dragons Soaring]!"
Blood-red genetic energy burst forth from Zhang Lie as though there were hundreds, thousands of dragons surging throughout his body. Each muscle formed a dragon, and 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 blood dragons flew through the air, swooping down like meteors.
Nightdemon activated the Shining Trapezohedron once more and captured all the blood dragons within, filling all 24 layers of space.
Zhang Lie unsheathed Guicang and slashed forward. A red beam shot out of each of Nightdemon's three red pupils, but Guicang shattered them all.
"[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 arena dropped to sub-zero values, and a strong wind buffeted all combatants present. Blood-colored frost appeared around them all.
An underworld river materialized in the air, one that almost filled the halls of chaos. As though the doors to hell had just been thrown open, tens of thousands of serpents rushed out in a flood.
Nightdemon activated the Shining Trapezohedron once more, capturing all the serpents within the relic. The space within the relic was quickly filling up, and at that moment, Zhang Lie caused the hundreds of dragons within to explode.
As huge waves of energy exploded within the Shining Trapezohedron, it began to shake violently.
"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!"
Pitch-black energy expanded to fill the entire halls of chaos, forcing the king of chaos to step in. With the purest of chaotic energy, he neutralized the effect of Zhang Lie's technique and covered the arena with a barrier.
Waves surged forward, sounding like peals of thunder, like stampeding hooves.
Everyone in the hall was shocked to see the roiling genetic energy that Zhang Lie had produced.
The surface of the sea frothed with angry waves, like dragons emerging with the tide. The entire sea roiled, and lightning crackled amidst the void.
Countless serpents swam across the raging sea as lightning flashed ominously overhead, a scene right out of an apocalypse.
As Zhang Lie struck, an underworld river hurtled into existence, roaring into the sea. The sword energy roiled like black waves.
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 serpents swarmed Nightdemon, who attempted to summon the Shining Trapezohedron to his side. Because of the explosions that had wrecked its interior, however, the relic was momentarily unable to be controlled.
