Chapter 1596: You Deal With It

Kthanid of Excellence turned and exclaimed, "N'tse-Kaambl, are these cultivators from your race?"

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian shook its head. "I... can't be certain."

Ammutseba was displeased. "You look exactly the same. Why can't you be certain?"

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian replied, "They do look like members of my race, but they shouldn't be this strong."

The burning Vorvadoss exclaimed, "What are others from your race doing here?!"

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian was so agitated it was almost about to cry. "I don't know!"

Sun Mengmeng asked, "What do we do with the rest of them?"

Of Eternal Sun, only Ammutseba and Vibur remained. All three members of the Ancient Gods' Abode were still present, a total of five monsters in all.

Sun Xiaowu clenched his fists tightly. "Don't you dare snatch them from me. My anger won't be quelled so easily."

Li Feng gave him a thumbs up. "You sound just like an actor."

Sun Xiaowu rushed forward. His arms glowed with resplendent light, and a layer of dense golden scales and divine armaments emerged over his skin. In an eruption of golden light, he sent Vibur flying.

Ammutseba turned, enraged. "What are all of you waiting for? Do you think you'll have a chance to live if those of us from Eternal Sun perish?"

Yang Ze shrugged. "You can pick and choose your own opponents. I've had my fill of fun." Zhang Lie wasn't too interested, either. "I'll leave it to you lot."

With neither Yang Ze nor Zhang Lie deciding to act, there were just enough monsters to go around.

A bolt of lightning arced across the air and struck Ammutseba. Fog absorbed the lightning, but raging winds appeared at the tip of Fang Yi's spear as he sent Ammutseba into the air.

Although these hunters looked like they were of the same race as N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian, it denied the similarity again. Kthanid of Excellence, the burning Vorvadoss, and N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian were forced to fight as well.

Vibur had three red eyes in the shape of three-leaf clovers and the body of a giant black rat. There were feelers growing out of its body, and it possessed power over radiation. Blue spores grew out of its fur, spreading through the air and rooting themselves on their victims. Where they thrived, their victims' bodies would rot.

Sun Xiaowu would have done his best to stay away from such a monster prior to the Rising Stars Cup. Trying to fight against someone whose very existence was toxic might as well have been committing suicide.

Getting spored in the middle of a battle, fighting on even as those spores claimed his vitality, and finally dying slowly to the spores—how was he supposed to take on such an opponent?

After the Rising Stars Cup, however, Sun Xiaowu had grown significantly stronger. Golden runes burnished under his skin allowed him to draw on the strength of divine armaments. His blood was imbued with gold-attuned genetic energy that would kill any biological lifeform attempting to root itself on his flesh. Sun Xiaowu might as well have been a living shield, one against whom these viruses would be useless.

"[Blinding Flash: Thousandfold Echo]!"

Sun Xiaowu's body suddenly split into thousands of clones, Vibur pointed its ass at Sun Xiaowu and shot out scorching blue rocks at him as if it were defecating.

The blue pellets were particularly hot, so much so that they could burn someone without even physical contact.

"[Golden Divide]!" The thousand clones all used [Golden Divide] simultaneously, coloring the sky in gold and raining down golden feathers in such numbers that it seemed as though a thunderstorm had just formed out of thin air. The entire warehouse shook violently from the attack.

Sun Xiaowu didn't need to call on [Adamantine Aegis] at all. A layer of golden runes covered Sun Xiaowu's skin, each smaller than even a mosquito. They stacked densely, layer by layer, until it looked as though Sun Xiaowu was wearing a suit of impenetrable armor that blazed with golden flames. Golden light emanated from his fists.

"[Goldenscale Palm: Split]!"

Golden radiance struck. Sun Xiaowu's palms brimmed with golden light as a dense layer of golden scales covered his skin.

Gold-attuned genetic energy extended up his arms. Each of his scales glimmered with divine armaments.

His aura suddenly shifted, and his right arm glowed with resplendent light.

An aura of intense strength emanated from the heavens.

Sun Xiaowu took a step forward, then punched with all his might, generating a dominating wave of genetic energy that crushed the head of the three-eyed rat.

Then, golden radiance lit up the battlefield as his clones struck as well.

The concentrated golden punches rained down on his opponent. Vibur was unable even to defend himself.

Vibur would have been stronger if Yang Ze hadn't played around with it and drained its energy beforehand.

Of course, Sun Xiaowu had also grown far stronger than before, and would have been able to take down Vibur even at full strength.

Ammutseba wasn't faring very well, either. It had the ability to devour all forms of light, but Fang Yi controlled more than mere lightning. He was able to attack with his wind as well, which Ammutseba was unable to handle.

Stars twinkled among the pitch-black sky. Starlight erupted like a meteor shower as Fang Yi charged forward with his spear in hand.

Fang Yi launched his spear, crackling with wind and lightning, with incredible force.

The black spear sent wind howling and lightning flashing through the sky.

With his spear, he invoked chaotic energy in the form of lightning and raging wind. The spear left a dozen afterimages in its wake that blocked the effects of the meteor shower.

The starlight gathered and converged into a single dazzling point as bright as the sun. Incredible energy surged as Ammutseba released the light it had absorbed, concentrating it all into that point as it charged up for a devastating blow. A huge laser shot toward Fang Yi—but he handled it with ease.

"[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 roared around him, and his spear resonated with his genetic energy. The spear which the king of chaos had granted him demonstrated shocking strength, infusing chaotic energy into the mix.

The lightning tiger and wind dragon corkscrewed into an incredible blow that struck the beam of light directly.

Fang Yi quickly drew near as tentacles emerged from the fog, poised to take him down.
