Chapter 1082: Not Too Successful

Li Feng continued, "If I'm not mistaken, your ability is tied to the suns behind your back."

The solar king shrugged. "And so what?"

Li Feng continued, "Considering that there are only eight suns left, your ability might be potent, but it's not limitless."

"You're right. However, you won't have any further opportunities to kill me."

Li Feng's eyes were piercing. "If I can kill you twice, then I can easily kill you four, five, six, seven, eight times."

The solar king shook his head. "I'll admit that you're strong, and I do believe that you can kill me many times, but you won't have the opportunity to do so. The fire giant has revived."

Li Feng glanced toward the fire giant. After it absorbed the energy of the world of blazing sun, it had made a partial recovery. Although the furnace on its back was filled with cracks, that didn't affect the fire giant's strength. Its aura redoubled.

Li Feng turned and shouted, "Fang Yi, how're you doing? Can you launch another attack?"

"No, I still have to rest a bit more, but I'll at least be able to stall him." Fang Yi's spear took on the aspects of time and age. Temporal winds buffeted the spear, and a mysterious light began to circle the spear like lightning.

"[Wheel of Time]!" A wheel of light appeared behind Fang Yi, taking on the form of a clock.

The fire giant rushed over toward Li Feng as Fang Yi's face turned serious. "Where are you going? Your opponent's right here!"

The solar king stood at the topmost point of the world of blazing sun as he raised his arms high overhead. Thousands of suns gathered above him, condensing into the image of a starry sky.

The fire giant, like a giant, mobile war machine, trundled forward. Each step flung lava into the air. It gathered steam with every step, until it had the momentum of a freight train.

The solar king hurriedly attacked Li Feng in order to prevent him from assisting Fang Yi.

Stars gathered and transformed into glittering galaxies. Even the solar king's fine control didn't extend to manipulating thousands of compressed suns at once. He was unable to gather them all together; instead, he transformed them into a shining galaxy.

With a wave of the solar king's hand, that galaxy fell toward Li Feng.

Considering that Fang Yi hadn't recovered fully from the exertion of that last attack he launched, the fire giant could very well kill him here. Even if not, it would be enough for the giant to stall Fang Yi and prevent him from recovering.

What the solar king feared was Fang Yi launching the same attack he had before.

"You!" the solar king cried out, pointing at Li Feng.

Li Feng could hardly ignore the solar king's attack, the galaxy composed of thousands of suns. If he were to do so, even Fang Yi would be caught in the aftermath of the attack, let alone its primary target, Li Feng.

"[The Boundless Blade: Sunbreak]!" Sword energy roiled. The technique splintered the glowing sunlight and replaced it with a silver glow, transmuting that sunlight into something that boosted Li Feng's strength. The sword in Li Feng's hands glowed brighter and brighter, until it tore apart the manifestation of the galaxy.

While Li Feng defended against the solar king, Fang Yi began to fight off the fire giant. He used [Floating Clouds] to avoid one attack. The wheel of time to his back began to turn, and another one stacked on top of it. The fire giant's furnace released immense heat as flames flared across his body. The sharp increase in temperature forced Fang Yi back.

Fang Yi was still somewhat pale, not having recovered fully. It would be difficult for him to go up against the fire giant, which was on the level of a superior king.

As the fire giant's punch made to smash into him from above, Fang Yi skittered back in panic. The fist struck the ground, melting it and sending a geyser of fire and lava into the air, thousands of meters tall. Fang Yi defended as a fourth wheel of time stacked up on his back.

Fiery-red cracks propagated through the ground, and flames emerged by his feet.

Li Feng suddenly turned to Fang Yi mid-battle. "Fang Yi!"

"Don't you think you should focus?" The solar king roared in laughter as he snapped his fingers. The galaxy of suns suddenly burst apart in a meteor shower. Li Feng, caught unaware, was sent flying. He somersaulted in the air before stabilizing his body.

"[The Boundless Blade: Earthshatter]!" Sword energy roiled. An arclight dragon reared its head. The technique splintered the glowing sunlight and replaced it with a silver glow.

That glow grew brighter and brighter, until it shone even more splendidly than the galaxy the solar king had constructed. The will of the sword was so dense it seemed to have gained a physical form. The sword energy manifested as an arclight dragon that tore through space and shattered the ground. The meteor shower that the solar king created was obliterated.

Having been struck by the flames, Fang Yi had burns all over his body. Another wheel of time manifested to his back.

The fire giant struck while Fang Yi was debilitated. Just then, golden light brimming with vitality arced through the air and smashed into the fire giant's body, sending it flying.

Jade-green radiance fell from the skies like rain, and Fang Yi's injuries healed at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The solar king and Li Feng, in the midst of a heated battle, both stopped short. They turned to look at the source of the radiant golden light, a beautiful woman. She caught Li Feng's attention immediately.

Her 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.

Each leaf was like a miniature sun, orbiting around the woman's body. To her back was a pair of golden wings formed from energy. Above her head was a glowing sun, giving off a radiant, holy light.

Her jade-green eyes were flecked with gold, and she seemed to have become one with the land. The vitality radiating from her was visible to the naked eye. Even the energy of the blazing suns was hers to command.

Li Feng hesitated for a moment. "Zhou Ying?"

The reason he hesitated was because Zhou Ying's appearance had changed dramatically. Her gold-flecked eyes made her look like a valiant warrior, quite unlike her usual calm and open demeanor. In gaming terms, if Zhou Ying had been a priest before, she was now a battle priest.

Li Feng was flummoxed by how she had changed so much in such a short period of time, and what had happened to her after she was separated from the group.

Zhou Ying waved. "Hi! Li Feng, Fang Yi, it looks like the two of you aren't doing so well."

Li Feng clutched his face. "Don't mention it. Who would have thought Fang Yi so weak? He went limp after shooting his shot just once!"

Zhou Ying glanced toward Fang Yi with a strange expression on her face.

Thanks to Zhou Ying's revitalizing energy, Fang Yi recovered from his burns quickly.

He called back, "Don't say something that can be interpreted so weirdly!"

The destruction that resulted from Li Feng and Fang Yi's fight against the solar king was so intense that it could be felt all throughout the world of blazing sun. After Zhou Ying finished absorbing the golden mulberry tree's energy, she rushed over, conveniently arriving just in time to save Fang Yi...
