Chapter 1373: Heaven Cracks, The Earth Quakes

Sun Mengmeng's devastating arrow pierced through the disaster-grade dragon's body, causing it to fall toward the lava. Lava roiled as fire filled the air.

The dragon's body smashed a crater in the lava as Sun Mengmeng furiously launched a flurry of arrows in its direction. The disaster-grade dragon was in exceptionally wretched condition, its claws bleeding, its chest half-torn open.

It attempted to take to the air, but Sun Mengmeng gave chase in a burst of flames. She kicked at the dragon, causing its crystalline body to crack as it fell to the lava once again.

The disaster-grade dragon barely stood up. It soared into the air once more, its disaster-grade regenerative abilities quickly healing the lower half of its body.

Sun Mengmeng rose to the challenge, raising her garuda bow.

"[Lunarflame Shot: Starburst]!"

Pitch-black flames lit up the sky. Arrows fell like a meteor shower, lit up in mid-air. The entire world was filled with black arrows; it was lit aflame.

Bu Wentian sighed in exasperation. "Your companions are far too destructive. This is even worse than what that Fang Yi fellow did. The entire world has been rendered useless!

The disaster-grade dragon's body shone and danced as it evaded the flames. It howled, its radiant body tangling around Sun Mengmeng like a serpent winding its body around a mountain peak. It opened its bloody maw wide, its teeth sharp and white, as it bit down on Sun Mengmeng with the intent of swallowing her whole.

"[Baptism of Hellfire: Phoenix Rising]!"

At this critical moment, Sun Mengmeng's body lit up with roaring black flames, resisting the dragon's attack. The flames spun rapidly as the dragon's tail shone in rainbow light. The phoenix that formed around Sun Mengmeng transformed into a blazing tempest that caused the scarlet dragon to shriek in pain, loosening its tail.

As Sun Mengmeng revolved, so too did the flaming tempest. The black phoenix stoked the flames of the burning world. It spread its wings, causing the flames to reach a crescendo. The extreme heat burned the world to a crisp.

A gigantic black phoenix soared into the void. As it cried out, countless stars trembled. The dragon flew through the air, then swooped down toward Sun Mengmeng with blazing breath.

Such was the bloody fight between the two combatants.

The black phoenix and scarlet dragon faced off in the ruined world.

"[Lunarflame Shot: Blazing God]!"

The sea of flames roiled as Sun Mengmeng released genetic fluctuations greater than ever before. The void trembled as the heavens themselves seemed to shatter. Blinding light transformed into golden suns, which burst apart like sharp blades. Even before the attack was released, the aura alone caused the scarlet dragon to yelp in pain.

Her left hand the sun, her right hand the moon, Sun Mengmeng seemed to transform into a god-king of legends. She blazed with resplendent light, and the sun and moon embedded themselves on her bow. Black flame roared into the void as a pillar, and all of it gathered around Sun Mengmeng. The black flame transformed into a tempest that lit up the surrounding trial worlds.

The void flame transformed into an arrow which burned everything it touched. Where the arrow passed through, the stars shattered. The nearby trial worlds were also lit up aflame. Even a god would be pierced by this arrow.

The arrow struck the scarlet dragon, sending scales and crystals flying. Crystalline shards flashed through the air as the will of the realm's voice rang out in Sun Mengmeng's head.

[You successfully killed a disaster-grade hornless scarlet dragon. By consuming the core of the disaster-grade hornless scarlet dragon, you may receive one to ten disaster gene fragments.]

Bu Wentian sighed. "That's several worlds ruined..."

Sun Mengmeng recovered the dragon's disaster-grade core. She looked left and right. She was stuck in the void; the trial doors had burned to a crisp when she set the whole world aflame. What was she to do?

Zhang Lie advised, "Don't forget to send Sun Mengmeng to the trial-taker's chamber."

Bu Wentian shook his head. "I won't. If she has the strength to destroy my trial world, then I should hope she has the skill to figure out what to do next, too."

A pair of blackflame phoenix's wings unfurled from Sun Mengmeng's back as she flew toward the next hospitable trial world.

Zhang Lie smiled. "Don't throw a tantrum. If you leave Sun Mengmeng to her own antics, she might really burn another world to ashes."

Bu Wentian hadn't truly intended to carry out his threat. With a wave of his hand, a pillar of light surrounded Sun Mengmeng, and she vanished through the void.

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.

The gray power gathered around Zhou Ying's forehead, which cracked apart. A gray eye budded from her flesh. It opened up to reveal a chaotic opal iris, which seemed to be able to penetrate flesh, soul, and space.

Each leaf was like a miniature sun, orbiting around the woman's body. To her back was a pair of golden wings. Above those wings 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. Stellar light surrounded her as though she were a goddess given form.

Black energy formed a gauzy dress around her, sticking closely to her limbs and revealing her curvaceous features—no, making them even more curvaceous than they originally were. Two root-like tendrils writhed under her dress; her body radiated a seductive charm.

Zhou Ying seemed to simultaneously exhibit the charm of a holy priestess and a charming succubus. She had transformed into her battle-ready state in a matter of moments.

"[Avatar of the Fae: Earthbound Prison]!"

She released all her stored vitality at once, causing the ground to quake as thousands of jade-green wood dragons rushed out of the earth. Each dragon was about six hundred meters wide, with skin flecked with golden radiance.

Zhou Ying's opponent was a plant-based disaster-grade lifeform, one which Zhang Lie had never encountered.

Plant-based lifeforms were a rarity in the dimensional realm. Zhang Lie had only encountered one such disaster-grade lifeform before; this was the second he had ever seen.

A huge flower bud, like a wild beast's mouth, was filled with thorns. Purple fluid leaked out from within, sizzling as it touched the ground and releasing purple smoke. The fluid from the bud possessed incredible corrosive strength.

The ground quaked as countless vines emerged from underground, tangling with Zhou Ying's wood dragons. Zhou Ying commanded her dragons to absorb the vitality from the vines, causing it to quake as its tendrils shook and quivered, and its body bent. Clearly, having the vitality sucked away from its body was a painful process.

The disaster-grade lifeform sprayed out purple acid at the wood dragons, which soared into the sky and formed a wooden barrier.

The acid landed on the wooden barrier, quickly dissolving the wood and forming a hole in it with a loud sizzle.
