Chapter 1404: Dissipating Clouds

Sun Xiaowu's qilin's golden claws raked at the divine figurine, which retaliated with the demonic summoning behind itself.

Yang Ze frowned. "A figurine of Heaven, you say? Perhaps it should be hell, instead..."

The divine figurine roared. Its blood-red hair waved madly around its head. Its eyes were bloody moons. Like a great demon, it waved the flaming red ruler in its hand, bathing the arena in bloody light interspersed with runes. It pushed aside a claw as large as a mountain.

"[Blinding Flash: Ten Thousandfold Echo]!"

Sun Xiaowu split into ten thousand clones, each of which summoned a golden mecha.

The golden mechas flew underneath the qilin in a golden flood.

Radiant light shone from both combatants in red and gold. This was a massive confrontation, like a volcanic eruption. The skies were filled with blinding light and runes.

The divine figurine alone wouldn't have been able to withstand Sun Xiaowu's might, but the demonic ruler possessed unusual strength. It radiated bloody light like a red sun.

Furthermore, the halo of blood around the ruler formed a demonic figure, one that encapsulated the divine figurine within like armor. The figurine raised a hand, causing an intense aura to surge forth.

Rather than the figurine wielding a weapon, it was more like the weapon was wielding the figurine. The demonic ruler was manipulating the gold-plated figurine in battle, obliterating his mechas.

The gigantic golden qilin pressed downward with claws the size of mountains, imparting tremendous pressure on the figurine.

Bloody aura rose into the air, demonic qi surging like the sea. The transformation from divine to demon caused the figurine's strength to increase by an order of magnitude, obliterating the qilin's claws.

Yang Ze murmured, "The remarkable strength of turning evil..."

Fang Yi gaped. "It must have grown thirty times stronger!"

Zhang Lie frowned. "What's this 'Heaven' that you're talking about?"

Bu Wentian replied, "Long ago, there was a particularly powerful organization in the universe that went by the name of Heaven, Subsequently, the organization went crazy and annihilated itself overnight. I think that this divine figurine might be a successor to that organization, perhaps one of its remnant deities."

Yang Ze asked, "How did the organization go crazy?"

Bu Wentian shook his head. "Allegedly they began to kill people in a crazed fashion, or perhaps even each other. It's been far too long for any records to survive save that it had to do with a certain weapon.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

After the divine figurine transformed into a demon, all that holy energy was likewise corrupted and converted into demonic qi.

Killing intent filled the arena. The figurine had transformed into a pitch-black demon that now rushed forward at Sun Xiaowu. It waved its demonic ruler, commanding a frightening sea of blood.

Blood filled the heavens as the spectators watched on with mounting fear. A sea of blood raged around the demon, transforming into a raging dragon that rampaged through the air.

Countless ghosts of the netherworld began to screech and scream shrilly. The bloody sea took on aspects of the netherworld as demonic figures rose up from its depths.

"[Adamantine Aegis: Invincible Martial God]!

The manifestation of the golden mecha shrunk and condensed around Sun Xiaowu, forming a resplendent golden suit of armor.

Sun Xiaowu clenched his fists and considered his strength. "I once had a tutorial match with the person I respect most in this world. He told me that my techniques were too diffuse, that I was wasting a great deal of energy, correcting my long-held erroneous beliefs."

The demonic figures that rose from the sea of blood were so dense that all the spectators felt a chill down their backs, let alone Sun Xiaowu himself.

A majestic golden qilin swooped toward the divine figurine and clashed into the sea of blood in an explosion of golden radiance that swamped the arena and the realm at large. The spectators cried out as the demonic qi and bloody sea were vaporized.

Sun Xiaowu, standing at the intersection of golden light and demonic qi, was calm and collected. He continued, "As it turns out, I was wrong. Concentrated strength is what matters, and there has to be an equilibrium between size and density."

The sea of blood and golden light exploded, forming a backdrop around Sun Xiaowu. The clash of two titanic sets of forces seemed not to affect him at all.

The demonic ruler cracked from the confrontation. Demonic qi surrounded it as the ruler broke apart the golden light. Blood waves flew toward Sun Xiaowu like roaring dragons.

Against even a technique of this magnitude, Sun Xiaowu stood unmoved. "This is the improved version of the technique I spent a great deal of time and effort working on. Watch carefully, Captain!"

Sun Xiaowu punched forward in a burst of golden light, sweeping away the demonic qi and bloody sea, along with the ghostly and demonic figures.

"[Golden Divide]!"

Overlapping runes, compressed to their extreme, surrounded Sun Xiaowu like golden armor. Encapsulated in the armor, Sun Xiaowu looked holy and domineering. Golden light shot out in a beam.

The golden light in the air formed blades that struck at the malevolent demon.

The demon howled, causing clouds of demonic qi to fill the air.

Sun Xiaowu's body was encased in a resplendent golden glow. Suddenly, a dragon emerged, coiling around him and transforming into the runes that guarded his body in a show of radiant light.

"[Goldenscale Palm]!"

Sun Xiaowu's right arm glowed with scintillating light. A layer of dense golden scales emerged over his skin. An aura of intense strength emanated from Sun Xiaowu's body. Frightening shockwaves of energy radiated through the battlefield as Sun Xiaowu punched forward.

Most unusually, a pair of small golden horns formed over his forehead.

This was a battle of epic scale. Rubble was flung into the air as sun, moon, and stars alike began to fall. As Sun Xiaowu sent a flurry of punches toward the demon, golden light caused the entire world to quake.

The sea of blood roiled. The demonic ruler stirred up demonic qi and summoned ghostly figures from the netherworld.

The confrontation between the golden light and bloody sea caused a beam of black light to shoot out from the clash, striking the barrier that protected the spectators and isolated the arena from the stands and forming a hole in it in an explosion of black aura and shards.

The demon had landed in the stands, its body flickering and barely maintaining its form.

The crack on the demonic ruler had propagated into an obvious flaw. Demonic qi gushed out: the ruler's might had only seemed to grow stronger, either because it was now exerting more of its strength, or because the hibernating demonic ruler had revived after a match of this magnitude...
