Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1167: Three Petals

Yang Ze didn't care much for the sense of accomplishment and the process that only someone like Li Feng, who liked a beast, could value. Yang Ze had no need for these feelings.

As for the "downside" that he would be unable to progress further with regards to spatial manipulation before fully absorbing the king of chaos' insight—well, that was hardly a problem at all. He simply had to absorb all that insight quickly.

It was hardly as if he would lose any interest or happiness in life if he were to become rich.

Yang Ze definitely wanted to become rich—there would only be upsides for him for doing so.

After a moment's thought, Yang Ze lifted his head and announced, "I choose the first option—"

Belatedly, he found that he was being surrounded by chaotic tendrils of energy. "What's going on?"

The king of chaos replied, "It's no choice at all, I suppose. All your companions would pick the second option."

"No, I pick the first option!" Yang Ze cried out.

However, Yang Ze found that he had lost his voice. Surrounded by chaotic energy, he phased through the hall and was transported into the deepest layer of space...

Zhang Lie asked, "King of chaos, are you taking advantage of your position to mess with Yang Ze?"

The king of chaos replied, "I don't know what you're talking about."

The hunters were speechless. The king of chaos was clearly seething!

Neither Sun Xiaowu nor Li Feng had made a wish, and it felt as though the king of chaos' wishes were being devalued. His pride wounded, the king of chaos took it out on Yang Ze. He told Yang Ze that there were two options available, but in truth, there was only one.

To think I was so kind as to pledge to fulfill one of your wishes—only for you to snub me! Hmph.

Sun Mengmeng murmured in concern, "Yang Ze will be alright, won't he?"

Fang Yi wasn't particularly worried. "Don't worry. Yang Ze's survived all sorts of mishaps. Nothing will happen."

Zhang Lie commented, "If the king of chaos were going to strike at him, he would have done so already. Perhaps we might be able to win against the king of chaos' companions individually, but if twenty or thirty of them were to charge at us at once, how many do you think you can take down?"

The members of Team Zenith were silent.

Zhang Lie continued, "What's more, none of us have a measure of the king of chaos' true strength."

Li Feng said, "We don't have to worry about Yang Ze's safety. At the very least, the king of chaos has never tried to take our lives."

The king of chaos asked, "Have you finished your discussions? The next fighter should step forward."

Fang Yi retrieved a spear from his dimensional storage. "Let me take my turn, then."

A small fireball floated forward from the king of chaos' camp.

Fang Yi didn't look down on the fireball just because of its diminutive stature—he had been paying attention to Nightdemon's introductions.

This was the Star Devourer, the frightening existence that treated the three thousand worlds like nothing more than snacks.

The small fireball rapidly expanded into a huge fireball, with three burning petals imprinted into its surface. The entire hall heated up as the gigantic fireball made its way toward Fang Yi.

With a low shout, Fang Yi dashed forward with his spear in hand. He launched his spear, crackling with wind and lightning, with incredible force. It sent wind howling and lightning flashing through the sky.

Fang Yi thrust his spear forward, so quickly it left dozens of afterimages in all directions. As it struck the fireball, the superior-grade spear burned bright red with heat. Just a short moment of contact had suffused the spear with heat, causing Fang Yi to feel as though the spear was scorching his flesh.

"[Floating Clouds]!" Fang Yi morphed into lightning for mere moments, and the wind swelled around him. He pulled back to put some distance between them as the fireball rushed forward and swallowed up the afterimages that Fang Yi left behind.

As the heat poured forth, Fang Yi's forehead beaded with sweat.

The Star Devourer used neither skill nor technique; it simply rushed forward.

Its flames, which could burn even a world, were its most fearsome attack. Realizing that he would be unable to escape, Fang Yi instead dashed forward, thrusting his spear before him.

"[Tiger's Howl, Dragon's Bellow]!" Fang Yi's spear took on the aspect of a dragon of the winds and a storm tiger as he charged forward.

A windstorm raged. Wind and storm circled Fang Yi as he thrust his spear forward. The spear, crackling with wind and storm, caused the flames to swirl, but did no lasting damage to the huge fireball.

Not giving up, Fang Yi boosted his body with the power of space and time.

"[Shadow and Light]!" At that moment, Fang Yi morphed into countless clones, each of which thrust their spears at the Star Devourer. [Floating Clouds] helped Fang Yi keep up his attack, but it landed with no impact whatsoever.

Even Zhang Lie, spectating from the side, murmured, "This fireball's truly against the rules..."

Sun Mengmeng frowned. "Is its body composed of pure energy?"

Sun Xiaowu added, "And it has flames of unparalleled heat, too..."

Zhang Lie shook his head. "No, that's just what it appears like on a superficial level. Its true core is the three burning petals imprinted on the surface of the fireball, but trying to attack it will require going through the flames. It's a ridiculous opponent." contemporary romance

The witch of dreams smiled with glee. "This time, I'm certain that your companion will be unable to hold out. The Star Devourer is an entity that the king of chaos himself had to deal with. Although it hasn't fought much against the other guests present, it has never lost."

Zhang Lie turned to the witch of dreams. "Thank you."

The witch of dreams: ???

She didn't understand Zhang Lie's intent at all.

Zhang Lie explained, "Every time you made such an assertion, my companions won their battles without fail."

Li Feng emulated Zhang Lie's actions. "Thank you for your encouragement."

The witch of dreams cried out, "I mean it this time!"

The members of Team Zenith chorused in response, "We know."

The witch of dreams felt a horrible sense of discomfort.

"[Heaven's Judgment]!" The combination of wind and lightning generated a frightening force that made his spear look like an electric saw, so fearsome it could even penetrate space.

The wind and storm were able to penetrate through the flames to some extent, but reaching the fireball's core was all but impossible.

As the fireball drew near, Fang Yi was scorched by its heat.

"[Heaven's Judgment]! [Tiger's Howl, Dragon's Bellow]!" A dragon's roar resounded through the air like peals of thunder. Wind and storm combined and crackled at the tip of Fang Yi's spear.

Fang Yi leveled his spear. Wind and lightning surged forth. The combination of wind and lightning generated a frightening force, as though the spear had transformed into an electric saw.

Leveling the spear before him, Fang Yi dashed into the flames, the wind forming a protective barrier around him.

"[Floating Clouds]!" The wind and lightning formed a loop around Fang Yi's body.

Fang Yi howled loudly as wind and storm emerged from the loop like a rocket launcher, sending Fang Yi careening forward.

His combat experience allowed him to identify that the Star Devourer was't purely a construct of energy, unlike the Moon of Thousand Faces. The three burning petals imprinted on its surface were simply too special, and Fang Yi arrived at the conclusion that those petals had to be part of its core.

Without striking the three petals, the Star Devourer would only continue releasing more and more flames.
