Chapter 1421: Wheel of Time

Xing Yu formed seals with both his hands, shaking the void. One formed a tiger; the other, a dragon. They roared and charged forward in the blink of an eye, straight toward Fang Yi.

"[Heaven's Judgment]! [Tiger's Howl, Dragon's Bellow]!"

Fang Yi's spear took on the aspect of a dragon of the winds and a storm tiger as he charged forward. Wind and storm combined and crackled at the tip of Fang Yi's spear, and a dragon's howl echoed resoundingly in the air.

The two dragons and two tigers fought for dominance in the air, clashing in explosions of radiant light and summoned hurricanes. They smashed into each other time and again.

Anyone else caught by the attack would be obliterated into a mist of blood.

Fang Yi blocked his opponent's attack, after which point Xing Yu's entire body began to glow. Frightening fluctuations of energy emanated from it.

Xing Yu kicked forward forcefully with one leg like the swipe of a dragon or serpent's tail. It was almost like a whip, one which caused the void itself to shake when he used it.

"[Stormwind Kick]!" Fang Yi likewise kicked forward like a whip, his legs imbued with wind and storm. The clash between wind and storm, dragon and serpent, caused a huge explosion in the air. A howling storm formed, and a dragon's cries echoed.

Xing Yu had quickly recovered and sealed the arena. Then, he broke off another huge chunk and smashed it at Fang Yi.

The huge piece of the arena blotted out the sun and seemed almost as large as a mountain range.

"[Born of Lightning, Swallowed by the Wind]!"

As Fang Yi shouted, his spear traced a half-moon in the air, surrounded by an aura of time. Light and shadow flashed by its tip, just like the wind and lightning that made up the core of Fang Yi's techniques. The spear pierced space abruptly, spawning a rift that turned its surroundings gray. All movement was locked in time.

The only color in the space, the only movement, came from Fang Yi.

In the space of frozen time, Fang Yi walked straight up to Xing Yu and thrust forward with his spear. However, Xing Yu was no weakling himself. The spatiotemporal seal would only last for a short period of time against Xing Yu, who quickly shattered the gray space within.

Xing Yu's golden serpent kick left a series of whip-like afterimages behind as it clashed against Fang Yi's spear.

The destruction of metal rang out through the air in a shower of sparks. Xing Yu shouted as golden whips struck the arena.

The arena exploded, sending dust and rubble into the air. Even so, Xing Yu's kick didn't change direction. It locked onto Fang Yi doggedly, deflecting the tip of his spear as Fang Yi activated [Stormwind Kick] once again. Howling gales manifested around him. Thunder rumbled and lightning crackled, forming a whip of wind and storm.

Xing Yu defended against Fang Yi's golden whip as dragons howled in the air. The outlines of serpents and dragons soared through the air as Xing Yu was forced back.

"[Floating Clouds]!" The wind and lightning formed a loop around Fang Yi's body.

Wind and storm surged throughout the loop, providing explosive strength as Fang Yi thrust forward with his spear.

Xing Yu blocked with both arms, but even so, he was forced back. His blood grew heated, and his purple hair billowed in the sudden wind. His eyes lit up, and two lances shot out of his pupils, bright and blinding.

"[Wheel of Time]!" 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.

A wheel of light appeared behind Fang Yi, taking on the form of a clock. As the clock tolled, the virtual realm itself reverberated.

Fang Yi's spear blocked the two lances.

Xing Yu widened his mouth, shooting out a breath of lightning.

The clock continued to toll as more wheels of time appeared behind Fang Yi's back.

"[Heaven's Judgment]!"

The combination of wind and lightning generated a frightening force that seemed to be able to penetrate space, like an electric saw that pierced through Xing Yu's lightning breath and co-opted that energy for itself.

Simultaneously, Xing Yu slammed down with his right palm, cupping it and forming an orb of lightning that quickly grew as large as a mountain. It smashed down toward Fang Yi.

Xing Yu retaliated against Fang Yi with his mastery over lightning. The two attacks erupted in a massive explosion of lightning that tore apart the firmament.

However, Xing Yu's mastery over lightning was still somewhat weaker than Fang Yi's. Fang Yi's saw-like spear pierced through the massive ball of lightning, converting its strength into his own, as a third wheel of time formed to his back.

Xing Yu roared in outrage. Ripples of energy filled his mouth and spread outward before transforming into a titanic wave of energy, wild and unbridled. The void shook as the barrier protecting the spectators splintered in a frightening explosion.

Fang Yi defended with his spear, parting the energy around its tip. Blood trickled from his mouth.

With a sharp wave of his hand, wind and lightning billowed out from Fang Yi and formed a protective barrier against Xing Yu's attack. Lightning encircled his spear, and wind corkscrewed around its tip. He broke through the wave of energy, his spear pointed straight at Xing Yu's forehead.

Heaven and earth rumbled. Xing Yu clasped his hands together and held back Fang Yi's spear in a burst of incredible strength and light.

Many of the spectators were shocked. "This is the Stargod Seal! Allegedly, it can block the advance of all physical matter in the universe. It's known to be one of the forbidden techniques of the Stargod race!"

The scintillating light transformed into a wave of lightning that swamped the arena. Arcs of lightning flashed every which way, as though a golden wave of energy were towering over the two combatants.

Several sharp-eyed spectators noticed a drop of blood trailing down Xing Yu's fingers, which had been wounded.

"That's right! The unknown challenger drew first blood on Xing Yu during their first clash, allowing Xing Yu to invoke the Hands of the Blood God!"

The spectators now understood the conditions under which the Hands of the Blood God could be used.

Coolly, Xing Yu again clasped both hands together, one the sky and the other the earth. The entire realm trembled in their wake.

"[Floating Clouds]!"

It looked as though Fang Yi had morphed into lightning itself. Storms rose up all around him, and he left a flurry of afterimages behind. He barely defended against the Stargod Seal.

As a result of the high-intensity confrontation, there were now five wheels of time to Fang Yi's back.

"It's time for my ultimate technique!" Fang Yi called out.

"Show me what you've got. My seal will counter it!"

Xing Yu's body glowed with incandescent light. The radiance of heaven shone down on him; the tableau almost seemed apocalyptic. Light washed over the arena. Stars fell from the sky, forming a stellar river that drowned Fang Yi within, a tribulation from the universe itself.
