Chapter 910: An Arresting Sight

The next moment, Sun Xiaowu leaped high into the air as gold-attuned genetic energy radiated from him like a second sun.

"[Blinding Flash: Thousandfold Echo]!"

Sun Xiaowu's body split into over a thousand clones, so many they seemed to fill the sky. Each was simultaneously real and illusory.

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 humanoid bug punched all around itself in a flurry in an attempt to defend against the golden feathers. So great were its physical abilities that it actually succeeded in surviving the onslaught.

"[Goldenscale Palm: Split]!" Golden radiance struck the land. Sun Xiaowu's palms brimmed with golden light as a dense layer of golden scales covered his skin.

His aura suddenly shifted, and his right arm glowed with resplendent light. Frightening shockwaves of energy radiated through the battlefield as Sun Xiaowu punched forward.

𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The entire battlefield shook. The bug nest in the distance wobbled as though it were about to collapse. The attack struck like a nuclear warhead, sending the golden light flaring up for thousands of meters, so bright that it felt as though the sun had fallen to the ground.

The aftershock sent golden beams of light scattering across the battlefield.

The disciples of the Zenith Dojo glanced at the devastation that Sun Xiaowu had wreaked with no small amount of trepidation and fear. Fortunately, they had retreated in time. If they had been struck by such an attack...

Only now did they have a good understanding of Team Zenith's strength. They had never witnessed it for themselves in close quarters. Now, however, after fighting alongside the members of Team Zenith, they understood how strong the members of Team Zenith really were. The aftermath of their attacks was a disaster in its own right.

If Fang Yi were a human cyclone, then Sun Xiaowu was a walking disaster. It wasn't that Sun Xiaowu was stronger, but that Fang Yi didn't dare to use his trump card on the battlefield while any allies were present.

After all, his trump card didn't distinguish between allies and enemies.

Once the golden light had cleared, there was nothing left of the ground but a pit.

The mutated bug, which had tried in vain to block the attack, had fallen inside. Its carapace was cracked, and it was leaking ichor from all over its body.

"[Blinding Flash: Thousandfold Echo]!" Sun Xiaowu's body split into over a thousand clones, so many he could field an entire battalion of soldiers by himself. Each clone was simultaneously real and illusory.

Sun Xiaowu had no intention of stopping just because his opponent was lying at the bottom of a ditch. On the contrary, he wanted to use his strongest attack to finish the battle in one fell swoop.

"[Goldenscale Palm: Qilin]!" Sun Xiaowu and all his clones leapt up into the air, performing exactly the same action.

They cocked their arms. A golden glow radiated from all their bodies, basking the world in light. Thousands of clones merged into Sun Xiaowu's main body, and the countless activated copies of the technique merged into one.

Golden scales covered up Sun Xiaowu's arm as it grew thicker and thicker, and the image of a golden qilin appeared behind him.

As he swung his fists forward, the golden qilin materialized. It swooped down toward the ground in a golden storm that cracked the ground.

The pit in the ground widened a hundredfold, and the mutated bug trapped within perished with Sun Xiaowu's devastating combination of attacks.

"[Light Dragon's Remnants]!" Li Feng marshaled his genetic energy into the form of a large number of white dragons.

The mutated bug that was his opponent punched each dragon as it approached, shattering each one within moments. It kicked out with its scythe-like legs.

"[Dance of the Incandescent Wyrm]!" Li Feng dodged the attack, then retaliated with a technique of his own. He summoned hundreds of serpents flaring with blinding light, but even those were torn apart by the mutated bug with brute force.

However, there were over a hundred such serpents, and even the bug wasn't able to take them all down at once.

"[Arclight Dragon's Imprint]!" With a shout, Li Feng waved his left arm, around which a torrent of light-attuned genetic energy was gathering. It took the form of a gigantic dragon's claw.

While the mutated bug struggled under the onslaught of the serpents, the claw knocked it flying.

However, the moment the mutated bug touched the ground, it stabilized itself.

"[Arclight Descension]!" Li Feng waved his left arm, around which a torrent of light-attuned genetic energy was gathering. A gigantic light dragon's head appeared to his back, exhaling white light with every breath. The ground cracked. Instead of retreating, the mutated bug charged forward like a bullet.

"[Light's Bulwark]!" Li Feng clenched his fist. His right arm, clad with light, was covered with scales. The scales began to move as an arclight dragon materialized, howled, and rushed toward the mutated bug.

Ink-green genetic energy pooled over the mutated bug's fist as it punched forward and forcibly dispelled the dragon.

Upon seeing that the mutated bug had broken through his defense, Li Feng charged up for a stronger attack. Concentrated light-attuned genetic energy surrounded him.

"[Light's Bulwark: ?Dragon's Claw]!" As Li Feng punched forward, a dragon coiled around his arm. Highly concentrated light-attuned genetic energy morphed into a spiked point, much like the incisor of a dragon.

The mutated bug's fist, wrapped in ink-green genetic energy, clashed against Li Feng's attack.

Although the mutated bug was able to make use of genetic energy, its inexperience clearly showed. It wasn't able to use genetic energy as effectively as even a disciple of the Zenith Dojo, let alone the members of Team Zenith.

It wasn't able to compensate for its lack of skill with physical ability.

If physical strength determined everything, the dominant species on Earth wouldn't be humans, but rather elephants, tigers, lions, or leopards.

The concentrated light-attuned genetic energy pierced through the bug's fist like a sharp sword.

The bug remained expressionless, as though it was unable to sense pain, as though it didn't have a nervous system at all. It kicked forward with its leg, having exchanged its arm for this one opportunity to launch a blow.

Li Feng stepped backward immediately after launching the attack. With his light-attuned framework, he was able to skirmish effectively, and there was no need to participate in a melee exchange.

"[Light's Bulwark: Meteoric Fist]!" An arclight dragon appeared behind Li Feng. He punched forward rapidly, each punch morphing into a silver bullet, sending waves of cascading silver light raining down on the battlefield...
