Chapter 1538: Waiting Outside

Zhang Lie clenched his fist tightly as pitch-black energy sprayed out, vast as the sea, dark as the night. The energy seemed intimately connected to the abyss. Stars seemed to sparkle in the depths of that energy. As Zhang Lie punched forward, the pitch-black starlit energy surged forth.

Stellar dragons emerged and clashed against the golden solarfire, causing the ancient hall to quake as the steps leading toward the altar shattered. The pitch-black energy encapsulated everything as the starlight exploded. Stellar dragons fell from the sky and erupted in a storm of eradication, a chain reaction that devoured everything in sight.

"I\'ll await you outside," Radiant Sun said, his body burning to a crisp under the destruction caused by the starlit energy.

After finishing off Radiant Sun, Zhang Lie then turned to look at the man in dark green robes.

That man slowly stood up, unable to distance himself from the fight.

The fighting below them had continued while Zhang Lie faced off against Radiant Sun.

"Kill!" Sun Xiaowu took the initiative to strike, eyeing the woman in black. It was she who had attempted to launch a sneak attack at him.

"No!" the woman in black shouted, startled, as she retreated quickly.

Her black clothes hid a graceful body and beautiful looks. She looked beyond the realm of a mortal.

Her face was contorted in a frown. Sun Xiaowu was no longer hiding the gains that he had obtained within the ancient hall, and the power that was radiating from his body was palpable. Even the strongest fifth-realm hunters in tandem were having a hard time dealing with him; he was stronger than anyone could have anticipated.

Sun Xiaowu had no backer nor identity, but had still been invited to join the man in dark green robes. It was clear how much power he would need to have been offered an invitation.

Even the man in dark green robes had been surprised by Sun Xiaowu\'s combat strength.

Umbral light glimmered as she retreated hundreds of meters through the air until she was at the edge of the altar. Even so, Sun Xiaowu followed behind in a flash, riding a bolt of lightning and moving even faster than she did.

His attacks were simple and direct. Sun Xiaowu punched at her, the figures of warlords that had manifested by his back lending him overwhelming strength, far beyond the likes of her.

"You—!"

The woman in black blanched. She twisted her body, which was flexible like bamboo in a rainstorm, to evade the lightning and dodge the attack.

Suddenly, Sun Xiaowu blurred. The hum of his sword reverberated through the air. His blood was composed of countless divine swords and armaments that were now resonating and giving off a metallic clank. His aura expanded in scope and size.

He might as well have been a divine armament himself. He shot forward at incredible speed, shattering the void and closing in on the woman in black in no time at all. Her combat strength was nothing to scoff at, either. In her enraged state, her hair floated up into the air, then suddenly expanded. Each strand of hair grew taut and extended lengthwise like black spears.

Sparks scattered all around her as Sun Xiaowu\'s body struck the spears that had formed from her hairs.

They were all cut apart, reverting into orchid stems as the woman in black retreated swiftly.

She scowled and looked toward her allies. "Aren\'t you going to help me?"

However, none of them could spare her any attention. The members of Team Zenith were fighting them at full strength; what had happened to Sun Mengmeng when she was targeted by Qingyue Ge was now occurring with her.

Sun Xiaowu was like a huge furnace, his blood glowing with golden runes.

The divine armaments that constituted his body were forged into a cohesive whole. Golden light glimmered over his body as an imposing aura exuded from him.

"This isn\'t good!"

The woman in black blanched, scorching golden light causing her body to burn up.

She spat out black runes from her mouth that transformed into a swamp, over which all manner of orchids grew, a clash of auras between her and Sun Xiaowu. The orchids attempted to root themselves on him,

but Sun Xiaowu had no intention of giving in. He blazed ever more brightly, turning into a golden furnace that incinerated all around him.

The woman in black screamed.

Her orchids withered and turned to ash. Although her main body was still unharmed, she fell into a severe crisis.

"Kill!" Sun Xiaowu exploded in strength, forming chains of golden energy that extended from his body and pinned her down.

The woman in black struggled arduously, transforming into a black orchid that gave off clouds of haze and umbral light in an attempt to resist Sun Xiaowu.

"You\'re a little skilled," Sun Xiaowu acknowledged, but this was far too insufficient to stop his advance. "[Goldenscale Palm]!"

Sun Xiaowu\'s right arm glowed with resplendent light. A dense layer of golden dragon scales formed over it.

His divine armaments manifested on each scale, which was imbued with golden runes.

An aura of intense strength emanated from the heavens as frightening shockwaves of energy radiated through the altar. Sun Xiaowu punched forward.

It shattered what umbral light there was in his vicinity. The manifestation of countless armaments followed his fist, suppressing the woman in black and preventing her from moving.

Just then, a blinding beam of light emerged. At the center of the darkness grew a magical flower of terrifying strength. A silver sword lay within, gleaming with light, shooting forth.

The sword had a keen edge and had appeared out of nowhere. It cut apart the manifestations of Sun Xiaowu\'s weaponry and swiftly approached him, brushing by his body in a series of sparks. It left a cut on his body that was harder than any metal.

This was an incredible blow, one of the woman in black\'s trump cards, a sword that she had been gestating in her plants. It would be able to instantly kill an opponent at a crucial moment.

This technique had been engraved with special runes that would absorb the essence of heaven and earth, endowing it with explosive strength as it sparked a resonance around it.

Sun Xiaowu suffered because of this ability. He felt as though heaven and earth were collapsing all around him. As the silver sword energy brushed past his limbs, golden liquid emerged.

The sword was so sharp that it was able to cut apart his protective golden runes and even into his body.

What flowed within Sun Xiaowu\'s body wasn\'t fresh red blood. After absorbing the divine armaments into his body, Sun Xiaowu\'s blood had transformed into golden ichor that was metallic in nature.
