Chapter 1399: Fragrance and Flagrance

The golden lotuses grew thirty meters tall, overwhelmingly huge, golden from stem to root to leaf to flower. They seemed to be endowed with divinity, with command over nature and the environment.

As the golden lotuses shook, they emitted golden runes, sending the flames roaring higher and higher.

"[Baptism of Hellfire: Full Moon]!"

Sun Mengmeng whirled her daggers all around her as a black moon rose into the air, blocking the attack. The ground exploded. Flames burst into the sky. Cracks of lava spread across the ground.

Sun Mengmeng stabbed forward with a dagger, the black moon behind her exploding as she shot forth. 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 Zhang Lie.

Her beautiful features took on a tinge of the fantastical when lit by the purple firelight, causing the onlookers to stare at her agape.

With the barest hissing of wind, she unsheathed a long dark-red dagger. The dark red blade was gestated in fire and flame. It tore apart countless golden lotuses, which exploded in a blaze of golden flames and transformed the arena into a sea of fire. Sun Mengmeng tore apart the flames and mastered them. She had gained a tremendous attunement to fire, and even a sea of fire couldn\'t stop her advance.

As the lotuses exploded, their roots bombarded her like pellets, themselves exploding in flashes of thunder.

"[Baptism of Hellfire: Phoenix Rising]!"

Sun Mengmeng\'s body lit up with roaring purple flames. The phoenix that formed around Sun Mengmeng transformed into a blazing tempest.

As Sun Mengmeng revolved, so too did the flaming tempest. A phoenix\'s flame took over the golden flames and transformed them into storms of hellfire. Phoenixes emerged from those storms, descending on the arena.

Qingyu Ge stood amidst the tempest, unaffected by the fire. No—he was even absorbing the flames to strengthen himself. He was the largest and most beautiful golden lotus of them all.

Qingyue Ge clapped softly. "Beautiful. Amazingly beautiful. I almost want to bring you home with me."

A gigantic black phoenix soared into the void. As it cried out, countless stars trembled. It struck at Qingyue Ge as Sun Mengmeng shot forward with her daggers. Qingyue Ge\'s relaxed expression transformed into something intense as golden lotuses appeared around him.

Sun Mengmeng clashed against him dozens of times in quick succession as sparks of fire flared all around her. Golden flame and purple fire fought for dominance. Sun Mengmeng stumbled back, but Qingyue Ge wasn\'t unscathed, either. Golden fluid with a surprising fragrance dripped from his palms like ichor.

Qingyue Ge\'s eyes lit up in excitement. "Beautiful flowers all bear thorns."

As the golden ichor dripped onto the arena, lotuses bloomed in the flame, transforming their surroundings into a sea of golden lotuses. They combined into a majestic golden lotus that trapped Sun Mengmeng within. Frightening energy spread out from the lotus.

"Distill her essence!" Qingyue Ge shouted. Flames bloomed around the golden lotus, refining and purifying everything around, even the arena itself.

"[Lunarflame Shot]!"

Sun Mengmeng ignited the fire all over the arena, capturing it all in the form of golden flame, which she merged with her purple fire to form purplegold arrows.

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 arena a phantasmagorical appearance. The air turned dry and arid, as though a cataclysm was nigh.

Under the brilliant purple sky, everything began to burn, drowned in a sea of purple flame. When her arrows exploded, they formed pillars of flame over ten meters high.

Sun Mengmeng\'s body burned with purplish-black flame so intense that it dyed the heavens the same color. She cast [Black Sun], forming a corona of purplish-black flame around her. Then, she activated her most impactful soulshards for battle, transforming from a young woman to a fierce warrior with a chitinous carapace, wreathed in black flame.

Her flames were so intense that the armor-type soulshard actually began to crack and split. Black flames seeped out from the cracks, burning so intensely that the ground began to melt and turn red.

By then, Sun Mengmeng had transformed into a fearsome warrior of hell. Black flames flared from her garuda bow, manifesting in the form of an undead phoenix.

"[Netherworld\'s Gaze]!"

Hundreds of arrows, like beams of moonlight, shot toward Zhang Lie. Their flames felt as though they could destroy everything they touched.

The golden lotus exploded, tattered petals falling from the air. Qingyue Ge stood on a golden lotus seat, radiating divine light that absorbed the flames around it and transformed them into pure strength to nourish themself.

They clapped earnestly, but their expression quickly turned disappointed. "Beautiful to the extreme. It is a pity we did not meet in the universe, or I would surely have taken you back with me."

"Unfortunately, I already have someone I like."

Sun Mengmeng loosed arrows into the air, causing nine flaming moons to appear in the sky.

"[The Nine Moons of the Underworld]!"

The moons shone even more brightly than the sun itself.
