Chapter 1441: Try It



Chapter 1441: Try It

In a flash, the two cultivators exchanged thousands of blows, combining physical might with genetic power. Each of Zhang Lie\'s punches seemed to bear the weight of a typhoon.

The woman was no slouch, either. Her own tempest raged as she unleashed a bevy of complicated techniques in an extravagant display of light.

As their punches met, both cultivators were sent flying.

The woman recovered and quickly shot forward. Where she strode, lotuses bloomed. Crystalline flowers budded and blossomed around her in incandescent light.

Power manifested around her. Her eyes, brilliant as lightning, intensified.

"[Ninecarp Transformation]!"

A black serpent materialized behind Zhang Lie, by now so large and so developed that it resembled the world-swallowing serpent Jormungandr. It let out a threatening hiss as its scales clicked together. [1]

Pitch-black genetic energy revolved around Zhang Lie like dark clouds, then exploded forth in his vicinity, devouring the crystalline petals.

The woman reacted swiftly. More golden lotus petals scattered around her and transformed into burning energy that countered the dark clouds around Zhang Lie. Her golden light pierced through them as she shot forward.

Another clash unfolded as the two cultivators traded blows. Their attacks blurred as the tempo of the fight was raised ever again.

Suddenly, a gigantic burst of energy separated the two of them. The void distorted; their surroundings exploded.

The woman in gold took the initiative and attacked again. Zhang Lie had never before encountered such an aggressive cultivator. Each time, she seized the advantage.

She looked to be a genteel beauty, but her attacks and movements were sharp and decisive, with no wasted movement whatsoever. Her aura was oppressive. She struck like a storm.

After an intense series of attacks, her body suddenly grew taut. Her bones turned silvery-white as she shot toward Zhang Lie like an arrow.

"[Divine Arrow]!" She blurred; her attacks were so fast they were almost impossible to detect.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!"

Zhang Lie punched forward, and the black serpent behind him shot forth.

The woman was visibly startled, but she easily dodged the serpent given her extreme speed. She looked like a bolt of silver lightning as she zipped through the air.

This was a use of spatial force at its peak, allowing her to behave like a divine arrow that shot through the void at extreme speed but simultaneously allow for rapid changes in direction.

In order to catch up with the woman, Zhang Lie activated his limitless universe soulshard. He glowed with stellar radiance, like a burning star. Starlight flowed through his body in phantasmagorical colors.

The starlight\'s allure captivated all onlookers.

Zhang Lie\'s body transformed into a glaze of the dark cosmos, as though the Milky Way itself flowed through his body. His aura grew tremendously as he barely managed to match her speed.

The woman continued barreling forward, obliterating any obstacles in her way.

Zhang Lie himself was making a move. A starlit sea manifested around him, and the power of the stars formed a whirlpool using his water-attuned genetic energy as a foundation.

The whirlpool caused the void to grow sluggish, limiting the speed of the silver arrow into which the woman had transformed.

Zhang Lie simultaneously activated his dragonwolf soulshard. His russet fur seemed to glimmer with stellar radiance, each hair a shining star, as though he were draped with the entirety of the Milky Way. His four limbs were armored with a dragon\'s scales, each a burning golden sun. The two soulshards\' power combined.

A dragon\'s horns grew out of Zhang Lie\'s forehead, shining with stellar radiance, surrounded by galactic starlight. To others, he would seem to have the boundless energy of a new galaxy.

Zhang Lie swiped forward with his claws. Starlight flooded forward, splitting apart heaven and earth as it shot toward the silver arrow. Simultaneously, his left hand manifested pitch-black genetic energy in the form of an ocean, one darker than the night. It hemmed in the void and sealed off the woman\'s escape.

Even so, the woman glided forward, somersaulted in the air, and whipped her legs toward his head.

Zhang Lie defended himself with crossed arms. Both cultivators stumbled back in shock.

They were silent for long moments. Zhang Lie narrowed his eyes before he concluded, "Your physical body isn\'t particularly strong. You\'re making use of some arcane technique."

With careful inspection, he could see that the woman\'s body had a sheen of crystalline light over it. That light was the source of her apparent invincibility.

He had been wondering how such a genteel woman had chosen the path of physical cultivation and pursued it to such a frightening extreme, but things were clear now. She had some arcane technique that could bolster her physical body to this extent!

He was deeply impressed by the strength of the fifth realm and the diversity of techniques it possessed. Just getting a taste of what they were like was more than worth the price of admission.

"You\'re not bad yourself. As you\'ve seen, this is the divine radiance that I cultivate. It defends me against all ills and all techniques. My physical body is indomitable," the woman replied confidently.

"It\'s very strong," Zhang Lie acknowledged.

"I\'m Feng Xian of Starbright Academy. And you? Which divinity of the universe is your master?" she asked. [2]

"I\'m Zhang Lieyang," Zhang Lie said.

Feng Xian\'s smile was splendid in her confidence. She spoke brusquely. "I don\'t want to waste any more time. I\'ll take you down immediately."

"Are you sure you can?" Zhang Lie asked.

"Of course. You\'re strong enough that I\'m willing to attempt to bring you into Starbright Academy with me," Feng Xian stated. "As my mount, of course."

Zhang Lie countered, "And if you lose, will you be my mount?"

"Try it." The woman smiled. Her limbs glowed with light, as though she were about to activate some forbidden technique...
