Chapter 1169: Two Petals Left

Formless lightning flashed over the surface of Fang Yi's spear, gathering near its tip. The dragon of winds and lightning tiger prowled about the spear.

Part of the energy from the spatial rift seeped into the lightning-attuned genetic energy, turning it into void lightning. The pitch-black lightning began to spike and sizzle.

The Star Devourer's flames burned the gray world caught in temporal stasis to a crisp.

As the flow of time resumed, all the guests turned to Fang Yi's technique with consternation. The technique boasted such strength that no one present could be certain of defending against it unscathed.

The Star Devourer emitted a torrent of flame. Rather than trying to avoid the attack, it accelerated and smashed into it.

In combination with the spatial rift that was forming, the void lightning tore apart the space around Fang Yi, causing the frozen world of gray to crumble bit by bit. The energies combined, somehow managing to stabilize the mix of energies that ran rampant around Fang Yi.

Fang Yi sent a stream of each type of energy swirling and corkscrewing around the tip of his spear.

As the forces continued to revolve around each other, the wheels of time behind Fang Yi began rotating more and more quickly as the space around him was strained to its utmost.

Fang Yi had combined six different forms of energy: wind and lightning; their advanced counterparts, spatial rifts and void lightning; and the fundamental forces of space and time.

Dragon-like lightning, tiger-like storm, formless time, timeless space—those four disparate energies combined into a cohesive whole, tied together by a dark gold thread. The energies revolved around each other, summoning a howling gale surrounding a spatial rift.

Part of the energy from the spatial rift seeped into the lightning-attuned genetic energy, turning it into void lightning.

The wheels of time to Fang Yi's back began to break and crack, as did Fang Yi's own peak-grade spear. Even Fang Yi's own body was giving out. He bled out of his orifices, veins popping out on his forehead, the spear in his hand trembling almost uncontrollably.

All around Fang Yi, space and time began to splinter and crack. Unusual pitch-black thorn-like protrusions appeared by the edges of Fang Yi's vision, seeming to skewer space.

The skin on his arms cracked. His capillaries burst, and blood gushed out of his wounds. His technique seemed to be going out of control.

However, having experienced this situation a few times, Fang Yi was familiar with the pain that lanced through his entire body.

Fang Yi howled and sent the unstable mixture shooting forward,

.

The entire world seemed to come to a standstill at that moment. A howling storm, void lightning, mysterious temporal charge, the wind of ages—the mishmash of elements exploded.

The instantaneous burst of energy surpassed that of a disaster. The corkscrewing energy devastated everything in its path. A void storm smashed into the Star Devourer and caused flames to explode all over.

The Star Devourer's body was pierced clean through, and the flames that formed the core of its body were unleashed. The king of chaos had to step in, sealing away the arena within which Fang Yi and the Star Devourer were located.

The floor of the hall had been burned to nothingness, leaving an abyssal trench behind, so deep it seemed to have no end. Heat radiated from it, and the air around it seemed supercharged with mysterious strength. Spatial rifts, void lightning, temporal storm, and the wind of ages—these were disparate sources of energy that would never ordinarily have combined, but they were all hovering atop the trench now.

Fang Yi panted for breath as he stared at the fireball.

He hadn't managed to kill the Star Devourer in one punch. Even so, he had dramatically weakened the Star Devourer, and the once-massive fireball had shrunk to a fraction of its original size.

Of the three burning petals, only two remained.

Sun Mengmeng wondered, "This isn't some sort of death-substituting ability, is it? Each petal representing one life?"

Zhang Lie shook his head. "We have barely any understanding of the Star Devourer. It's too hard for us to say."

Li Feng frowned. "If that's so, Fang Yi will have a tough time..."

Sun Xiaowu murmured, "Fang Yi's only good for one cast. If he can't get rid of his opponent during that time, he'll be severely weakened in what follows."

Zhang Lie shook his head. "There's nothing we have to worry about. You all participated in battles against the various superior kings, and you've all been growing stronger. Fang Yi will have more stamina sooner or later."

The Star Devourer sent out another wave of fireballs. Fang Yi had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep fighting.

"[Wheel of Time]!" Fang Yi's spear took on the aspects of time and age. Temporal winds buffeted the spear, and a mysterious light began to circle the spear like lightning. A wheel of light appeared behind Fang Yi, taking on the form of a clock.

Fang Yi thrust his spear forward so quickly it left dozens of afterimages in all directions, spearing through the fireballs.

"[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, and thunder crackled. The boost afforded by the wheels of time caused wind and storm to wrap around Fang Yi's body as though he were a spear. He shot toward the Star Devourer again.
