Chapter 863: A Superior King

In some sense, Vemacitrin had committed suicide by releasing that flaming web.

By the time Potian broke free, it found itself enveloped in a sea of genetic energy.

"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!" Zhang Lie lifted the blade in his hand high above his head as pitch-black energy exploded from him. He looked like a demon descending on the world.

Black genetic energy filled the battlefield. Even the xuluo had never seen genetic energy so vast and so concentrated—his genetic energy roared as it took the form of a vast, angry sea.

Waves surged toward Potian.

The surface of the sea frothed with angry waves, like dragons emerging with the tide. The entire sea roiled, and lightning crackled amidst the void. Countless serpents swam across the raging sea as lightning flashed ominously overhead, a scene right out of an apocalypse. The sea had morphed into a boundless battlefield. The sea breeze was a horn to action, and the serpents, thousands of courageous soldiers heeding its call.

A tremendous wave enveloped Potian whole.

Potian\'s face grew alarmed as it roared, imbuing its body with heaven\'s might as it made to pierce through the waves.

Countless sea serpents emerged from underneath the sea\'s surface in ripples of seawater, charging toward Potian. When they were destroyed, their energy returned to the sea, primed to form more such serpents. As long as the sea remained, the serpents would spawn endlessly—the boundless sea was the font of life, which gave birth to an endless stream of creatures.

Even if Potian had mastered heaven\'s might, it couldn\'t use it endlessly against a never-ending stream of opponents. Even so, Potian was truly a strong foe. Its heaven\'s might was so potent that it really did manage to charge out of the waves—only to come face to face with Zhang Lie, who had been waiting for it.

Zhang Lie raised the blade Guicang. Under the influence of his active soulshards, his genetic energy turned blood-red.

"[The Boundless Blade: Dragon\'s Wrath]!" Zhang Lie thrust forward with Guicang, summoning a blood dragon. A blood-red dragon\'s roar shook the skies. Zhang Lie\'s attack clashed against Potian, who had transformed his entire body into a blade.

Natural law warped and cracked under the force of the explosion, which was so intense it affected the metaphysical itself.

By then, Zhang Lie had gleaned some understanding of heaven\'s might and Potian\'s application of it. Its head was smashed apart and its body flung backwards into the underworld sea beneath him. The raging sea surged forth and rent Potian\'s body into several pieces.

Even so, Potian remained alive. The various pieces of its body began to grow their own heads, but the serpents that constituted the sea surrounded each piece and began to corrode them away.

Potian reversed its heaven\'s might and used it for defense rather than offense. Potian was the only one of the xuluo who had managed to accomplish such a feat.

Just then, a giant black figure emerged from the sea of blood and appeared behind Zhang Lie—Vemacitrin. Vemacitrin had made use of its monstrous vitality to survive the serpents\' corrosion, and it had managed to pluck them all off its body before it was corroded away.

Immediately after dealing with this time-sensitive issue, Vemacitrin began to attack once more. The flowers on its heads began to spray out a stream of poison.

Vemacitrin didn\'t think it could beat Zhang Lie; rather, it had lost its sense of rationality after suffering the huge amount of pain that had been caused by the serpents devouring its very body.

"[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 Vemacitrin, slashing apart the flowers on its head. The purplish-black protective web of flames was unable to hold Zhang Lie\'s attack back.

Just as it seemed as though Vemacitrin would die, a sigh filled the entire world, echoing in mid-air as a bolt of blood-colored lightning fell from the skies, striking Zhang Lie\'s attack and cracking his blade.

Zhang Lie knew that the xuluo king might interfere in his battles, but he hadn\'t expected such precise timing. That said, Zhang Lie didn\'t intend to give up. The xuluo king\'s meddling had sparked Zhang Lie\'s competitive mindset. "I, Zhang Lie, will kill whom I please! Not even a superior king can stop me!"

He infused willpower and genetic energy into his blade, causing the light it gave off to flare. Even the blood lightning seemed to be taken aback by the strength of the attack.

More and more lightning forked down from the heavens, striking Zhang Lie\'s sword and annihilating his attack.

However, the reason the attack had failed wasn\'t because of the lightning, but because the amount of energy Zhang Lie was putting into the attack had crossed some critical threshold.

The attack erupted in a splendid explosion, annihilating the blood lightning in an instant.

A roar echoed through the air: "No!"

The voice sounded angry. Its wrathful shout sounded like the world itself was going against Zhang Lie, and the shout was so forceful that the few remaining xuluo fighters found themselves bleeding from all their orifices. They dove down into the sea of blood, refusing to show their heads.

Amidst the xuluo king\'s anger, the entire sea of blood began to swell and surge, bursting into blood-red flames—but this wasn\'t enough to stop the explosion that Zhang Lie had triggered.

Vemacitrin\'s body, located by the epicenter of the explosion, was annihilated. Blood-colored mist filled the air and skies.

"Intruder, you\'ve slain my son!" As the sea of blood swelled, a gigantic bug appeared from its depths, a huge eye located where its head would be. Beneath the eye was an extremely large face, with a hand growing out of each cheek, a shocking sight.

Zhang Lie laughed coldly. "And you\'ve invaded and taken control over hundreds or thousands of superior worlds. Isn\'t it only fair?"
