Chapter 856: Against Luohou

Water-attuned genetic energy gathered on Zhang Lie\'s blade as a pale-blue shark emerged from behind Zhang Lie. Guicang shone with a pale-blue sheen, as though ocean currents were travelling along the blade. A waterfall cascaded out of its tip.

"[The Boundless Blade]!" Zhang Lie swung downwards with a heavy blow, and the shark swam forth.

"The only reason my master could have lost to you was because he hadn\'t recovered fully from his injuries. Take this—the strongest blow my master taught me!" Luohou\'s sword and scimitar released a blinding glow. The solar flare and moonlight illuminated the entire battlefield.

Luohou cross-slashed with the solar sword in his left hand and the lunar scimitar in his right.

Solar flares and moonlight shot out simultaneously. The power of sun and moon combined, condensing into celestial energy. To this potent combination, Luohou infused his heaven\'s might. Blood-colored radiance forced everyone to look away.

The combined attack instantly pierced through Zhang Lie\'s shark and evaporated the sea of genetic energy.

Zhang Lie wasn\'t surprised. Luohou\'s weapons weren\'t particularly amazing; it was all thanks to the unbelievable strength of heaven\'s might.

"[The Boundless Blade: Dragon\'s Wrath]!" Zhang Lie thrust forward with Guicang, summoning a blood dragon. The dragon\'s howl shook the air, but it too was pierced clean through by Luohou\'s attack.

Only the four great xuluo lords were able to command this extended power afforded to heaven\'s might, which represented an evolution toward true heavenly strength. Compared to \'cause and effect\', \'penetration\' was the simpler and cruder power, which only made it more devastatingly effective.

From a scientific perspective, the reason a steel sword could easily slice through a wooden sword was because steel was far denser than wood. One could order all materials in this fashion, but the ascended form of heaven\'s might allowed its user to rearrange this order at will.

Zhang Lie activated [Syzygy]. A burning black sun rose behind his back, and a bloody moon flared into existence at his feet. Under the combination of the two auras, Zhang Lie seemed to have transformed into a god. His aura was magnified tenfold, and a halo of black sun appeared above his forehead. Natural law seemed to warp around him.

Runes likewise appeared on the bloody moon by his feet, forming an intricate array.

As the domains of black sun and blood moon manifested around Zhang Lie, Luohou found his own energy being sapped away. Luohou didn\'t panic—instead, he almost wanted to laugh.

"Haha, just what do you think you\'re doing? Are you a professional clown?"

The xuluo that had gathered behind Luohou all began to laugh.

"Victory has been decided. The moment Lord Luohou\'s attacks land, the battle will be over."

"In the end, they\'re just a newly evolved world. They might have put up a bit of a fight in the beginning, but they were going to lose to us xuluo sooner or later."

"Once Lord Luohou finishes dealing with this opponent, he\'ll be able to turn to the king of the realm fending off Lord Qiantuo\'s advance. It\'s a pity about Lord Fuzhang\'s sacrifice, but all this was necessary."

Luohou couldn\'t help but taunt Zhang Lie, "No matter how many times you augment your strength, it\'s all useless. The ascended power of heaven\'s might isn\'t something you can hope to overcome so easily."

Zhang Lie\'s sword resonated as he intoned, "[First Form: Parting the River]!"

Gleaming light honed the edge of Zhang Lie\'s sword, and a beam of sword energy rose into the air. Waves of sword aura poured from Zhang Lie.

The bright sword energy radiated from Zhang Lie like brilliant rays of sunlight. As Zhang Lie swung his sword, they shot toward Luohou, who was about to laugh out loud when he found himself at a loss for words.

The sword energy didn\'t diminish as it struck his celestial blades the way he had assumed it would—no, what happened shocked Luohou immensely. The sword energy was so strong it bisected his celestial energy, and Luohou\'s attack shot harmlessly past either side of Zhang Lie.

Zhang Lie stood still, as though Luohou\'s attack had never appeared.

Luohou\'s eyes bulged. "Impossible, impossible! How could you have defeated heaven\'s might—no one in the three thousand worlds could do so!"

"Who knows? Heaven\'s might is a strong power, almost invincible in its own right—but not so the wielder."

A steel sword might be able to slice through a wooden sword, but not a tree. If Zhang Lie\'s attack was dense and thick enough, even heaven\'s might would be ineffective against him.

"You dare claim that I\'m weak? You\'ll pay a heavy price for this, human!" Luohou roared. The solar sword in his hand began to burn brightly. Enraged almost to the point of losing his rationality, Luohou was just about to strike when Red Comet suddenly launched a sneak attack.

"You bastard!" Luohou hastily slashed in Red Comet\'s direction with his sword, imbued with heaven\'s might, and cut off one of Red Comet\'s wings. At the same time, Zhang Lie struck again.

"[Shadow and Light]!" Time suddenly sped up in the vicinity of Zhang Lie, and the tip of his blade arrived right by Luohou\'s nose in the blink of an eye.

Luohou\'s eyes widened. In the face of death, at the very last moment, he reacted just quickly enough to turn his head and survive the attack with half his face scraped off.

Zhang Lie allowed his momentum to propel him forward even as Luohou\'s sword and scimitar burst with bloody flame. He tore apart the flame with Guicang, revolved, and unsheathed Hanguang. The two swords criss-crossed and formed a web in mid-air—but an explosion from Luohou\'s swords tore it apart.

The two swords clashed against each other hundreds, thousands of times.

Zhang Lie\'s arms moved so rapidly that the xuluo, watching from afar, could only see a blur. With rapid slashes and strikes, Zhang Lie was slowly but surely chipping away at Luohou\'s celestial energy...
