Chapter 1433: Fall of the Legend |
Xing Yu roared as his eyes glowed with light. He used his ultimate technique in order to end the fight as quickly as he could.
His avatars filled the arena.
As his Starlit Wings flapped, the void cracked and began to shatter. A pair of silver wings slashed at Fang Yi's physical body with a keen edge beyond compare.
Fang Yi was shocked. He defended against the blow with his spear, but the webs of his thumbs began to tear. Blood dripped down; Xing Yu's Starlit Wings were obscenely strong.
Even the spear of Chaos that the king of chaos had forged for him began to chip.
Any other opponent might have been bisected.
Fang Yi marveled at the weapon that the king of chaos had forged him.
Xing Yu's eyes narrowed. He too knew that any other opponent would have fallen to his Starlit Wings. How in the world had Fang Yi managed to defend against it?
These were no ordinary wings. They possessed the strength of the stone of starlit fate, and they should have been able to crush all resistance!
By then, the two cultivators had already exchanged over five hundred blows. Fifty wheels of time had formed by Fang Yi's back. The shining wheels were so thickly clumped together it was as though they had formed an impenetrable wall. Fang Yi, boosted by the fifty wheels of time, was akin to a god.
Xing Yu's gaze turned cold. His armor rattled and his wings flapped, poised to shatter the void and attack Fang Yi.
"[Floating Clouds]!"
Fang Yi morphed into lightning itself. Storms rose up all around him, and he left a flurry of afterimages behind.
Golden flames blazed up over Xing Yu's body, as if he were a god come to life. The Starlit Legend unearthed every last drop of his potential. Starlight surrounded him as he reached peak strength once more.
"The Starlit Legend shall rise anew. Your defeat is fated."
A huge pair of silver wings unfurled behind Xing Yu, beaded with starlight. Strands of karma followed their every flap.
The Starlit Wings achieved their ultimate form. It was as though they encapsulated an entire universe, with each feather representing a shining galaxy.
Xing Yu had yet to truly invoke the strength of the Starlit Legend, the undefeated legend that had swept through gods and legions.
To his back, the Starlit Wings reverberated. Runes emerged from their depths, forming a stellar river behind them.
Many of the spectators trembled as they witnessed the Starlit Legend in its entirety.
Wind and storm appeared around Fang Yi's body. Illuminated by fifty wheels of time, he looked like a god descending from the heavens. He had freed himself from mortal constraints, from spacetime, from the here and now. The wind and storm coalesced into a huge pair of wings to his back
One wing dipped into the forces of formless time, and the other into infinite space. As they flapped, chaotic energy seeped out.
Fang Yi and the spear had achieved a harmonious balance during the drawn-out fight, and he felt a sense of kinship the likes of which he had never felt before. His aura was magnified until all around the arena could sense it.
The wings of wind and storm to his back invoked a primordial will. The stone of counteracting fate lent its power to the wings, augmenting the wisps of chaos that formed around it.
Fang Yi was drawing out every last drop of the power of the stone of counteracting fate. This was something he could only do for a short period of time while bolstered by the fifty wheels of time. Fang Yi didn't think he would be able to use such a skill a second time during this fight.
The next moment, the wings slashed forward in tempestuous rage, cracking the cage that surrounded him and Xing Yu. It was about to collapse.
Xing Yu's Starlit Wings flapped as silver radiance shot through the arena like countless accreting galaxies, poised to counter Fang Yi's wings of wind and storm. His eyes blazed with ardor.
This might very well be the end of this match!
"Crack!"
Xing Yu's eyes suddenly widened. The confidence and surety on his face froze. His wings had been cut apart by Fang Yi's. The sound was jagged and discordant, and it was all that he could hear.
He roared in outrage. His disheveled hair stood on end as his body radiated with light. His divine armor clattered as he flung himself at Fang Yi.
Fang Yi stood immobile, but his wings swiped downward.
Xing Yu's armor, allegedly impenetrable, was scored and subsequently dimmed. Xing Yu was sent flying as he spat out mouthfuls of blood. With a shout, his armor transformed into fragments of blazing light, shards of a burning galaxy, that shot toward Fang Yi and were about to explode at any moment.
Fang Yi narrowed his eyes. His wings of wind and storm surrounded him. A wind dragon and storm tiger, made manifest, roared and summoned the energy of spacetime and chaos before them.
He dodged to the side as the armor fragments exploded, but they did little against the ethereal constructs of wind and storm. Instead, they fell to the void that Fang Yi summoned.
Xing Yu roared again, mustering up all his strength and setting his own body aflame. He conjured another Stargod Seal and combined it with the void to produce his strongest attack.
Fang Yi, having reached the apex of speed, sent his wings down against Xing Yu once more.
Xing Yu was sent flying in a mess of blood.
Fang Yi swooped forward and pressed the attack, his spear glinting with golden light and thrusting through Xing Yu. He fell, his blood dyeing the air as the void cage burst open and they returned to the reality of the arena.
The spectators were shocked. They had all seen Fang Yi's spear destroying half of Xing Yu's body in a spray of blood that arced over the sky.
"Even the Starlit Legend... was defeated?!" the spectators exclaimed. A legendary figure, nipped in the bud!
Xing Yu, eyes cold, ignoring his wounds, shot into the sky in blazing starfire. He ignited his lifeforce and mental energy to transform into a stellar river that illuminated the sky. He exuded the pressure of a god. His Starlit Horns, pushed to the extreme, were surrounded by threads of karma, then combined with the Stargod Seal and his mastery over the void.
"The Starlit Legend will not fall here!"
Linked by karma, Xing Yu's Starlit Horns, Stargod Seal, and mastery over the void gave off divine pressure.
"Succumb to my fated future!"
Xing Yu unleashed the strongest blow he was capable of, with everything on the line. The stone of starlit fate, his mastery over the void, the Stargod Seal, the strength he obtained with his own body as sacrifice, his future—he could not lose here, for he bore the burden of the entire Stargod race and of the Starlit Legend!
