Chapter 1223: Reinforced Space

Seeing that Fang Yi was about to release his ultimate attack, the members of Team Zenith immediately reared back in shock.

Sun Xiaowu shouted urgently, “Zhu, quick, strengthen the barriers you’ve put down—and protect us all!”

The members of Team Zenith had seen Fang Yi use his ultimate multiple times before, and they were well aware that the shockwaves that resulted in the aftermath of the attack were sufficient to cause them headaches.

Zhu immediately reinforced the barriers to prevent Fang Yi’s attack from affecting the outside world.

Sun Xiaowu’s body flared with golden light, and golden runes appeared over his body. He used [Adamantine Aegis] immediately.

“[Blinding Flash: Hundredfold Echo]!”

Sun Xiaowu’s body split into hundreds of clones, each bearing resplendent golden runes. They gathered around the members of Team Zenith, forming a human barricade.

Sun Mengmeng waved a hand before her, adding a ring of flame to the barrier.

Li Feng radiated silver light, and illusory silver dragons coiled around the members of Team Zenith.

Refracted light shone around Yang Ze, who waved a hand and isolated the members of Team Zenith from the pocket dimension.

Zhang Hanxiang released a chilly frost, adding a layer of ice as a barrier against Fang Yi’s attack.

Zhou Ying’s long hair fluttered in the wind, the color of crystalline jade. It gave off motes of vitality. She was so beautiful no one could take their eyes away, and golden leaves whirled around her. The tips of her hair produced gray fog.

Concentrated natural energy and vitality flowed through her fingertips.

“[Avatar of the Fae: Dance of the Earth Dragon]!”

Zhou Ying released all her stored vitality at once, causing the ground to quake as thousands of jade-green wood dragons rushed out of the earth.

The members of Team Zenith were wrapped up by layer after layer of dragons.

The members of Team Zenith layered their defenses one over the other, Sun Xiaowu’s golden clones as the innermost layer, followed by Li Feng’s silver dragons, Zhou Ying’s wood dragons, Zhang Hanxiang’s ice, Sun Mengmeng’s black flames, and then Yang Ze’s spatial isolation.

These layered defenses were no joke at all. Strong though Fang Yi’s ultimate attack was, if they could still be hurt despite this many layer of defenses, they would be the joke instead.

“[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. Their light illuminated the sky. The black sun and silver moon were linked by a golden thread, which brought them into proximity with each other.

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, the silver moon taking on a blue sheen.

As they overlapped perfectly, the moon absorbed the black sunlight and transformed into a fully realized pale blue moon.

The moon materialized behind Hong Xi’s back. Its light wasn’t cold or chilly, but rather warm and nurturing. The members of Team Zenith found their strength enhanced multiple times over. The black flames burned ever more brightly, the golden light was more blinding, the illusory dragons solidified, and the wood dragons’ vitality magnified.

The members of Team Zenith were shocked by Hong Xi’s newly displayed capabilities.n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m

Hong Xi smiled in response.

This was another means of employing the combination of [Eclipse] and [Black Sun]—not only to weaken enemies and strengthen yourself, but all your allies as well.

The flaming-red sun and pale blue moon were the two different methods of invoking [Syzygy].

There was an even more intricate and advanced version of the technique that involved weakening herself to strengthen her allies to an extreme degree, but Hong Xi had never had an opportunity to try it out.

Ever since [Eclipse] and [Black Sun] merged, Hong Xi had been fighting on the front lines, and the advanced version of the technique hadn’t been worthwhile to invoke.

Zhang Lie didn’t make fun of the members of Team Zenith for turtling up; Fang Yi’s ultimate technique was certainly strong enough to be worth taking seriously.

In this life, Fang Yi was far stronger than in the past.

The Fang Yi of Zhang Lie’s past life didn’t have limit gene fragments during the third realm, and because he hadn’t been swept into all sorts of incidents due to Zhang Lie’s involvement, all he knew was [Heaven’s Judgment].

For the Fang Yi of this life to have created such a ridiculous stacking technique was incredible.

“The king of chaos has really left me something troublesome…”

Fang Yi’s original sixfold strike had been troublesome enough, but now he had a spear forged of chaotic energy by the king of chaos himself. When Fang Yi fought, that energy would seep into his technique, transforming his ultimate into a sevenfold strike. Fang Yi’s ultimate essentially scaled multiplicatively with every additional source of energy he used, so the amount by which his new spear magnified his attack meant that even Zhang Lie had to be wary.

Fang Yi had combined seven different forms of energy: wind and lightning; their advanced counterparts, spatial rifts and void lightning; the fundamental forces of space and time; and chaos.

Dragon-like lightning, tiger-like storm, formless time, timeless space—those four disparate energies combined into a cohesive whole, tied together by a dark gold thread. The energies revolved around each other, summoning a howling gale surrounding a spatial rift.

Part of the energy from the spatial rift seeped into the lightning-attuned genetic energy, turning it into void lightning.

The pitch-black lightning spiked and sizzled.

In combination with the spatial rift that was forming, the void lightning tore apart the space around Fang Yi, causing the frozen world of gray to crumble bit by bit.

All that energy, linked by the karmic power that Fang Yi had manifested, led to an unbelievably complex combination.

Even before the attack was released, the pocket space was already shaking tremendously.

However, Fang Yi’s technique suddenly stalled—the energy of chaos and spacetime failed to combine properly.

The reason Fang Yi’s technique had gone off smoothly the previous few times was because there was no conflict between wind and storm with time and space. Time and space were compatible concepts, and wind and storm were physical phenomena that were subordinate to the higher-level concepts of time and space.

However, chaos was a high-level concept as well, and one that Fang Yi hadn’t mastered.

The chaotic energy, which didn’t truly belong to Fang Yi himself, but rather to the spear which the king of chaos had gifted him, stood at the forefront of all other concepts along with karma, time, and space.
