Chapter 1401: Don't Disgust Me
The golden lotus seat rapidly transformed the energy of flinto growth and nourishment. However, [LunarflShot: Extirpation of the Garuda] had given off such intense fire over the entire arena that even the relic was unable to handle it all.
Zhang Lie smiled in satisfaction.
Elemental counters worked only up to a certain extent. Water might counter fire, but strong enough fire would instantly vaporize water.
The fact that Sun Mengmeng had been countered meant only that she needed more of her element.
Such was the case in the arena. When Sun Mengmeng's flames exceeded what Qingyue Ge could absorb, the tide of the battle changed in Sun Mengmeng's favor.
"[LunarflShot: Extirpation of the Garuda]!"
The garuda manifested into reality.
With a huge rumble, firelight swallowed heaven and earth.
Her fire-attuned genetic energy transformed into an arrow of pure destruction.
Black flames gathered, lighting the very air itself aflame. The black flames formed a pitch-black abyss that no longer radiated light. Instead, it sucked in the light from all around like black holes and devoured everything in sight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe image of a golden garuda, limned in black, appeared behind her. As she loosed her arrow, it seemed to transform into a beam of light, moving so quickly that it bypassed the constraints of tand space. It struck the golden lotus seat and cracked it, sending golden lotus petals fluttering through the air.
Qingyue Ge waved a hand, causing the strength that the lotus seat had absorbed to erupt into a devastating golden flood. Divine golden flames descended on the arena and destroyed everything in sight.
"[LunarflShot: Starburst]!"
Sun Mengmeng's hand blurred as she shot out an entire field's worth of arrows, each one like a miniature star.
The stars burned, clashing against the heavenly flames.
Golden fire and black fire fought for dominance over the sky. Sun Mengmeng's arrows exploded in huge waves of fire, filling the entire world and arena. The spectators were unable to see the details of the fight; all that lay before them was fire, flame, and smoke.
The clash of fire versus fire was shocking beyond belief.
Qingyue Ge stood amidst the flames, fire burning around himself. He transmuted those flames into strength; fire of this magnitude wouldn't harm him.
Sun Mengmeng was also standing amidst the flames, almost entirely unaffected by them. For cultivators who focused on fire, this was nothing.
Qingyue Ge's gaze shone with greed and admiration. "You are amazing."
The sea of flames roiled as Sun Mengmeng released genetic fluctuations greater than ever before. The void trembled as the heavens themselves seemed to shatter. Blinding light transformed into golden suns, which burst apart like sharp blades.
The blades of light swept over the arena. Qingyue Ge was struck by the attack, a rip forming in their robes, and a line of blood over their face. However, Qingyue Ge's innate vitality and constitution was nothing short of astounding, and they recovered from a wound of this magnitude within a second.
Qingyue Ge's eyes shone with excitement. They looked toward Sun Mengmeng as though having discovered an incredible treasure that he wanted to keep for himself. The golden lotus seat radiated light as the arena filled up with golden lotuses, each with a deity of fire at its heart. The golden flames erupted and covered the space with heavenly flame.
Qingyue Ge's punishment of divine fire caused even the realm itself to start to collapse.
If not for what Zhang Lie had done, forcing the virtual realm to reinforce itself, the fight between Qingyue Ge and Sun Mengmeng would also have caused the realm to be near-collapse.
"[LunarflShot: Blazing God]!"
Her left hand the sun, her right hand the moon, Sun Mengmeng seemed to transform into a god-king of legends. She blazed with resplendent light, and the sun and moon embedded themselves on her bow. Black flroared into the void as a pillar, and all of it gathered around Sun Mengmeng.
Qingyue Ge gaped at Sun Mengmeng's antics.
Not only was she controlling her own flames, she had wrested control of all the flames in the arena, gold and black alike.
The gold and black flames transformed into a tempest that lit up the arena.
Qingyue Ge was shocked to see his flames co-opted by Sun Mengmeng.
The entire world burned. A dark golden arrow materialized into existence, formed as an energetic construct that glowed with the luster of metal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSun Mengmeng shot out the arrow. It burned with the strength of Sun Mengmeng and Qingyue Ge's arrow, obliterating everything it touched. Where the arrow passed through, the stars shattered. The entire arena lit up aflame. Even a god would be pierced by this arrow.
Qingyue Ge's divine flames were nothing in comparison to Sun Mengmeng's attacks. Her arrows were godslaying arrows, far above the notion of divinity itself.
All the golden flames remaining in the golden lotus seat burst in a flare of golden light, all in order to protect Qingyue Ge against Sun Mengmeng's lone shot.
Strong though the golden lotus seat was, against a godslayer arrow, it couldn't perform a miracle.
The crack in the golden lotus seat continued to expand and expand as a golden screen formed. The golden lotus split into two petals as the arrow pierced through Qingyue Ge's chest.
Dark golden flames burned over their chest, but Qingyue Ge didn't vanish right then and there. Although they had failed to defend against the attack, it had been dramatically weakened by Sun Mengmeng's godslaying arrow.
Otherwise, Qingyue Ge wouldn't just have had their chest pierced through by the arrow—it would have vaporized him from sight.
Qingyue Ge's body glimmered with dust, already on the verge of breaking apart. They felt at the arrow embedded in their chest. "So this is how strong our flames can be together..."
Sun Mengmeng frowned. "Don't make it sound so disgusting. I claimed your flames for myself."
Qingyue Ge's eyes sparked with desire. "You should be my wife."
Sun Mengmeng waved a hand. "Sorry, but I already have someone I like. What's more, this is our first meeting."
"No one can refuse to be my wife."
Qingyue Ge's palms turned into claws. Eighty golden lotus seeds emerged from the split golden lotus seat, each like a radiant sun, glowing with light. Qingyue Ge seemed to have morphed into a solar god.
Sun Mengmeng clutched the garuda bow in her hands. "You want to continue?"
Qingyue Ge replied, "If you can survive this blow, it'll mean that you have to becmy wife!"
