Chapter 1062: Destroying Evil

“[The Hidden Moon]!” The sword slash split the sky, sending an argent veil fluttering forward and tearing apart the malformed creatures.

Was Hong Xi’s attack effective? Certainly. Hong Xi’s skills had managed to diminish the gray fluid, but by less than a percent of its total volume. New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on no/vel(b)in(.)co/m

Hong Xi’s face turned dark. “My techniques aren’t bad, but there’s no way I can generate as much power as a death spirit battleship…”

The death spirit battleships’ cannon fire was so intense that even a superior king would be hard-pressed to survive a barrage.

Zhang Lie and Nightdemon had had to work together just to defend against a single beam, and Hong Xi certainly wasn’t at that level.

“In that case, there’s only one trick in my arsenal, even if I can’t use it perfectly yet… [Syzygy]!”

Hong Xi’s eyes glowed. Her left eye morphed into a black sun, and her right eye into a silver moon. To her back, a pitch-black sun and a silver moon rose into the air.

The black sunlight and silver moonlight illuminated the battlefield. They were linked by a golden thread, which brought the two of them into proximity with each other.

After consuming Potion #4, Hong Xi had combined [Eclipse] and [Black Sun] into a cohesive whole, and her strength had grown by leaps and bounds.

The black sun and silver moon began to merge. The black sun turned a deep red, and the silver moon a rusty red. The two celestial bodies overlapped perfectly, forming a bright-red wheel of fire, as their corresponding energies combined as well.

The wheel of flame shone with light. Energy coalesced behind Hong Xi’s back and formed a crimson sun.

The red light was as bright as blood, a shade distinct from Zhang Lie’s when he used the corresponding copy of that technique. The light scattered with Hong Xi as its center, slowing down the gray fluid’s movements and deterring the malformed creatures.

The gray fluid that formed the king of evil’s body and the malformed creatures that were birthed from that gray fluid had their mobility greatly reduced, while Hong Xi’s strength seemed to increase without end. An observer would have noticed that Hong Xi had grown beyond a newly evolved superior king in strength.

By absorbing power from the gray fluid and the malformed creatures, Hong Xi was temporarily at the level of a superior king of antiquity, with strength equal to that possessed by the king of evil’s body.

The red light was able to suck away an enemy’s strength and convert it to her own. Any enemy within the vicinity of the red light would be affected without exception.

With the fan in her left hand, Hong Xi summoned a twister. The blood-red flames of a blood sun burned around her, glowing with heat and blinding light. The blistering temperature caused the ground to turn to lava, and the twister on her left hand sucked the flames up.

The long sword in her right hand gleamed with a red edge, imbued with concentrated scarlet light. Behind her, multicolored light flared. The blood flames merged with her sword energy, causing each of her strikes to leave behind a long trail of fire.

The scarlet slashes tore apart the gray fluid and the malformed creatures, and the blood flame caused the fluid to boil.

Despite Hong Xi’s sudden power-up, the damage she was able to deal to the gray fluid was limited.

Even so, with the activation of [Syzygy], Hong Xi’s attacks had grown strong enough to threaten the king of evil’s body, which suddenly had to expend far more energy to maintain its volume.

The gray fluid exploded, intending to devour Hong Xi whole.

Under the illusory moon, her movements blurred. Using her superior-grade illusion leopard soulshard, she put some distance between them. Scarlet slashes filled the battlefield, causing the gray fluid to disperse once more—not as a result of Hong Xi’s attacks, but by the will of the king of evil’s body.

The gray fluid spread throughout the battlefield as Hong Xi suddenly grew alarmed. It would be easy for her to deal with the king of evil if it were localized in one place, but now that the gray fluid was spreading out…

It was obvious what would happen if any of the gray fluid landed on her. She too would become a malformed creature, a vector of a vile virus, one which Hong Xi didn’t think she would be able to counter.

“[The Hidden Moon]!” Her sword arced through the air in a slash of bloody light, evaporating the gray fluid before it could land.

The remaining drops splashed onto the ground and transformed into malformed creatures, which pounced toward Hong Xi as though they were zombies.

Hong Xi waved the fan in her hand, blowing them back as she struck with her silver blade.

The malformed creatures had no intellect to speak of; they continued pouring toward Hong Xi without any care for their own survival. Before they could approach, however, the coat that her superior-grade spirit fox soulshard had transformed into burst into flames, knocking any malformed creatures nearby aside.

The red sun behind her back glowed with light. Hong Xi’s fan likewise shot out beams of light, as though she were a bloody sun about to turn into a supernova.

The blade in her right hand reflected that light and glinted brightly. With a wave of her fan, the flames poured forth like a tsunami. She sent a sword slash through the flames, combining the energies of sun and moon, forming a scarlet halo of light that dispersed all around her, sweeping away the malformed creatures.

Hong Xi sheathed her blade and fan. Her attack had skimmed a layer off the ground, on which the blood-colored flames now burned. Hong Xi nodded in satisfaction: this was the first time she had used this technique in battle, and to particularly good effect.

If the king of black fog were to find out that Hong Xi had vanquished the part of the king of evil’s body which had attacked her, he would surely be hopping mad.

The king of black fog had entrusted his hopes to the king of evil, and was waiting for Li Zongming to receive the news and become agitated.

The superior kings of antiquity wanted to take away everything that Li Zongming possessed, to strip him of his treasures and to make him regret that he had forced their hand.

In the end, however, in the first confrontation, part of the king of evil’s body had been completely destroyed by Hong Xi, a human hunter of little fame within the three thousand worlds.

Once the king of black fog found out about this, his expression would surely be a sight to behold, but at that moment, the king of black fog was facing off against Li Zongming, and had no idea of the nature of the information that awaited him.

As Hong Xi dealt with her foe, Sun Mengmeng and the others arrived in the white world.

Sun Mengmeng, Sun Xiaowu, and Zhang Hanxiang had formed a trio and headed off toward the white world. After emerging from the wormhole, they headed to the nearest world and asked about the location of the white world.

The first world they found had sub-zero temperatures. Because of the forced recruitment the ice queen had carried out for the death spirits’ war, there were few living lifeforms in the surrounding worlds, largely the old, weak, infirm, and the very young. With the worlds’ fighters gone, the worlds slowly entered an age of decay, as though life were coming to an end…
