Chapter 1371: Radiant Light Unfolding
As Li Feng punched forward, light-attuned genetic energy transformed into a raging flood. Thick, concentrated energy, like roaring dragons and galloping steeds, like sharp blades piercing heaven and earth, fell from the sky in a huge rumble that shook the heavens and caused the trial world to quake.
The frightening wave of energy burst apart. Silver light radiated forth like a pack of rampaging dragons, transforming into a storm that tore apart all in sight—the roc's golden wings, along with half its body.
In a beam of light, Li Feng fell from the skies, his feet kicking at the disaster-grade golden roc's head.
The golden roc rolled on the ground, avoiding the killing blow.
Li Feng's eyes were sharp and piercing. "Running away won't help you now."
The golden roc, taking advantage of a disaster-grade lifeform's impressive regeneration, had already regrown one of its wings. Clearly, the golden roc had been endowed with incredible talent in this regard.
When Zhang Lie was its opponent, he was able to counter that regeneration with his demonic serpent. Furthermore, Zhang Lie was so strong that the golden roc didn't have the time to recover before Zhang Lie killed it.
With its wings restored, the golden roc was able to continue fighting—but before it could take advantage of its restored health, it faced even greater despair.
Li Feng's aura grew to its peak. Wrapped up in shining light, an arclight dragon emerged from his body and circled upwards.
"[Light's Bulwark: Thousand Dragons Soaring]!" Li Feng shouted. As he punched upward into the sky, all his genetic energy condensed in his fists, launching dozens of dragons into the sky.
As Li Feng yelled out, dragons of light materialized and circled his arms. As he punched upward into the sky, all his genetic energy condensed in his fists, launching dozens of dragons into the sky.
The dragons' cries sounded like peals of thunder as they swooped through the air, each dragon so large it could swallow a blazing sun whole.
Thousands of arclight dragons criss-crossed in mid-air before swooping down like meteors.
A golden wing was insufficient to defend against the simultaneous barrage of a few thousand dragons. The golden roc's wings were pierced through and torn apart as a huge golden skull was hurled out of the melee and fell to the ground.
[You successfully killed a disaster-grade gildwing roc. By consuming the core of the disaster-grade gildwing roc, you may receive one to ten disaster gene fragments.]
Bu Wentian evaluated, "This hunter is very strong, and his techniques seem like yours. Is he your disciple?"
"My companion."
In Sun Mengmeng's trial chamber, the void suddenly trembled. A figure dashed forward at lightning speed, heading straight for her with unabashed killing intent.
The attacker was none other than a hornless scarlet dragon, which Zhang Lie had faced before.
The dragon's attack landed with a huge explosion, splitting the ground, shaking the heavens, and causing the world to break apart. It was a frightening blow that struck with the force of an earthquake.
Sun Mengmeng raised her garuda bow. Three arrows, brimming with purple flame, flew toward the enemy like tracking missiles,
"[Lunarflame Shot]!"
The three flaming arrows exploded in mid-air, but that was insufficient to deter the dragon's charge.
The disaster-grade dragon burst out of the three simultaneous explosions, wreathed in light and flame and mist, as it charged toward Sun Mengmeng.
"[Baptism of Hellfire: Full Moon]!" Sun Mengmeng whirled her daggers all around her as a black moon rose into the air, blocking the pulse of energy from the dragon's attack.
The ground exploded. Flames burst into the sky. Cracks of lava spread across the ground.
Sun Mengmeng stabbed forward with a dagger, causing the black moon behind her to explode. Sun Mengmeng rocketed forward with [Flameburst Step].
Purple flames transformed into her raiment. A long tail of flames whizzed by behind her, radiating a phantasmagorical glow. Like a meteor, she shot toward the scarlet dragon. Her beautiful features took on a tinge of the fantastical when lit by the purple firelight. With the barest hissing of wind, she unsheathed a long dark-red dagger.
The two combatants shattered mountains and destroyed spires with every blow. They clashed against each other and were both sent flying. Light covered heaven and earth, frightening in its intensity.
Sun Mengmeng trained as a ranged attacker, but she wasn't weak in a melee, either.
"[Lunarflame Shot]!"
Sun Mengmeng's right hand blurred as countless arrows of purple flame shot out of her bow like a meteor shower that tinted the air purple and gave the battlefield a phantasmagorical appearance. The air turned dry and arid, as though a cataclysm was nigh.
Under the brilliant purple sky, all began to burn, drowned in a sea of purple flame.
The disaster-grade dragon wove through the flames, strong and brimming with vitality, its scales shining resplendent, its body glowing with divine radiance. It possessed an unexpected resistance to fire, and even Sun Mengmeng's lunarflame arrows did little damage to it.
Sun Mengmeng's opponent seemed to perfectly counter her.
As the disaster-grade dragon rushed by, it smashed apart countless meteors, which exploded in the air in brilliant flame. Its superior resistance to fire might be a result of its domain.
Seeing Sun Mengmeng's bow, the dragon's fearsome combat experience allowed it to recognize that Sun Mengmeng was an archer who would be weaker in close combat.
As meteors continued to explode in the air, sending boulders flying, Sun Mengmeng retreated with a wave of her palm, causing the sea of flames to roar and flare.
The sea of flames sent ten thousand tons of rock flying toward the dragon, which smashed through them all.
The disaster-grade dragon clashed against Sun Mengmeng, claws against bow, then swept its tail at her waist.
Sun Mengmeng evaded the attack as the tail crushed countless rocks into powder in mid-air.
"[Baptism of Hellfire: Phoenix Rising]!"
Sun Mengmeng whirled her daggers all around her like a phoenix spreading its wings. A tail of fire glowed with radiant light, causing the stars themselves to quake.
The dragon evaded the attack, but the rock mountain behind where it stood was drilled straight through. It blazed with lunar flame.
The hornless scarlet dragon stared at Sun Mengmeng with cold eyes. Its crystalline, resplendent body hurtled back. The entire world seemed to shift with its movements. Its body glowed with one resplendent rune after another, a true dragon's mark, imbued with the essence of the arcane, of mysteries beyond measure.
