All Things Are Contracts

Chapter 244: Victory and Defeat

The azure phoenix spread its wings, each flap creating sharp wind blades. Feng Bulang’s hand now held a gun, not the long spear used by Liu Zhaoran, but a weapon similar to a firearm, seemingly a treasure he obtained from the Heavenly Book trial.

He fired invisible bullets of condensed spiritual energy one after another, coordinating with the azure phoenix’s attacks. An ordinary person might find it difficult to defend against such invisible attacks, but Tianxian merely fluttered his wings, unleashing a terrifying aura that nullified all attacks approaching his body.

Feng Bulang frowned, realizing ordinary attacks were ineffective. He recalled the phoenix, which perched behind him, opening its beak.

At the same time, Feng Bulang’s gun barrel gathered terrifying power. Tianxian could have interrupted Feng Bulang’s charge-up attack, but his pride wouldn’t allow it. He wanted to see what performance this struggling little bird could offer.

Certain that Tianxian wouldn’t interfere, Feng Bulang unleashed his strongest technique without any defense! To defeat Tianxian, his only chance was if Tianxian underestimated him.

All spectators could feel the gust of wind, as a huge wind vortex formed under Feng Bulang’s feet, becoming the center of the entire arena.

“Compared to the last time he demonstrated his wind domain, it has strengthened,” Thunder Lord remarked. It seemed Feng Bulang had gained quite a lot from the Heavenly Book world. After all, time flowed much slower in that world than outside, and what these young prodigies needed most was time.

“Contract object transformation, wind domain, this youth called Feng Bulang is truly extraordinary,” Even the Bird Clan Grand Elder Tianyu couldn’t help but praise Feng Bulang’s talent.

A cyan dragon pattern appeared on the gun’s body. Feng Bulang and the azure phoenix launched their attacks simultaneously.

The dragon’s roar was resounding, the phoenix’s cry clear and crisp. As a cyan dragon shot out from the gun barrel, the azure phoenix transformed into a beam of blue light. The two light beams shot out at an incredible speed. The Bird Clan young master Tianxian had no time to react and was directly pierced by the two beams, turning into a shower of white feathers.

However, as more and more feathers fell from the sky, a pair of enormous wings appeared. The white wings opened, revealing Tianxian’s body inside.

Feng Bulang’s eyes widened, unable to comprehend how his full-power attack, combined with his domain power, hadn’t even scratched his opponent.

“Not a bad attack, but far from enough to hurt me. As a return gift, take this strike!”

Tianxian spread his wings and flew up, standing proudly in the air like a deity.

Then, each of his feathers was tinged with cyan flames, raining down as blue fire.

“Cyan Lotus Heavenly Fire — Rain Fall!”

Each feather, imbued with terrifying cyan heavenly fire, descended from the sky at extreme speed.

“Wind Domain!” Feng Bulang once again deployed his domain, trying to deflect these feathers with its power. However, after succeeding only a few times, he found his domain being directly torn apart by the attacks.

He dodged desperately but was still grazed on the shoulder by a feather. Instantly, his face was filled with pain as the flames began to spread from his shoulder.

“This is bad. We concede,” Alchemy Daoist knew the outcome was decided and there was no need to suffer further. With a wave of his hand, all the flaming feathers were collected into his sleeve, including the flames on Feng Bulang’s body.

Tianyu and Tianxian in the sky were both stunned. Alchemy Daoist was famous for his pill-making skills, but this sleeve technique seemed to be a space manipulation ability. As expected of one of the human race’s top three experts, he was formidable in both pill-making and martial arts.

“Take him away for treatment,” Alchemy Daoist gave Feng Bulang a medicinal pill to consume before having Wind Lord take him away.

“Young master’s strength is truly formidable. Ordinary prodigies are no match for you. There’s no point in continuing the competition. Let’s wait until they come out of the Heavenly Book world,” Thunder Lord explained. He could see Tianxian’s terrifying strength; probably only Tai’e from the ancient country could face him in battle. However, perhaps the others could transform within the Heavenly Book world?

Inside the Heavenly Book world, the wave of rebellion had risen, with experts from various races joining the resistance alliance. Suddenly, the pressure on Zhanyue and Yunyao greatly decreased.

The Desert Worm Clan member named Lulu, after devouring and evolving, had reached a new height of power, not much inferior to the Sand Dune King.

“You’re seeking death!” The Sand Dune King raised his scepter high, and it seemed the entire desert heard his command. Countless sand grains condensed into form, creating sand soldiers that attacked from all directions.

“He’s truly the emperor of the desert. The scepter can even be used like this?” Zhanyue was shocked. However, the fighters from various races who had been enslaved were filled with the spirit of resistance, fearless in the face of death, organizing to resist the sand soldiers’ attack.

“Leave these sand soldiers to them. Zhanyue, you focus on containing the disaster beast. As for the Sand Dune King, leave him to us,” Lulu the sand worm said. Then, another pair of wings grew from its back as it flew into the sky, launching an attack on the Sand Dune King together with Yunyao.

Zhanyue recalled his avatar, and both his main body and avatar worked together to contain the disaster beast, greatly reducing the pressure. Zhanyue felt something was odd; this disaster beast fish school seemed much less threatening than previous disaster beasts, with no strange abilities. As long as they weren’t bitten, there was no threat.

Yunyao’s strength was originally not inferior to the Sand Dune King’s, and now with external help, the two quickly gained the upper hand.

“I’ll go destroy the Millennium Tower. He will surely try to stop me forcefully. You find a chance to deliver a fatal blow,” Yunyao said. Now that the people on the Millennium Tower had regained consciousness and mostly evacuated, they could truly threaten this tower. On the field, only the Sand Dune King cared about the Millennium Tower.

Seeing Yunyao charging towards the Millennium Tower, the Sand Dune King panicked. The Millennium Tower was the symbol of his achievements and power. Even if many people died building it, as long as the tower stood, it would be the greatest structure in this world. Future generations might curse his cruelty, but they would have to admire him for building such a tall tower. He had power, wealth, and a long life; now his only pursuit was to leave his name in long history, with achievements lasting for thousands of years, becoming a legend for all time.

So the Millennium Tower absolutely could not fall!

“Die!” He hurriedly controlled all the sand soldiers and disaster beasts to rush towards Yunyao, just to stop her.

Zhanyue smiled, knowing that Yunyao wasn’t the only one who could destroy the Millennium Tower. He also charged towards it from another direction.

Terrifying sword energy devastated the outer structures of the Millennium Tower like a storm through dry twigs. A few more sword strikes, and this towering structure would collapse due to an unstable foundation.

“I’ll perish with you!” The Sand Dune King’s eyes bulged as he rushed towards Zhanyue, completely unaware that behind him, Lulu the sand worm was approaching.
