Chapter 1535: Mastery Over Life

"[Blinding Flash: Thousandfold Echo]!"

Sun Xiaowu's body split into over a thousand clones, so many they seemed to fill the altar.

He faced the cauldron, the man with the black knife, and the woman simultaneously in a burst of scintillating light.

Feng Xian transformed into a beam of light that shot toward Sun Xiaowu like an arrow.

"[Lunarflame Shot]!" Three arrows, brimming with purple flame, flew forward like tracking missiles. The three flaming arrows exploded in mid-air in a brilliant burst of fireworks.

Sun Mengmeng had drawn her garuda bow from afar.

Feng Xian looked like a bolt of silver lightning as she zipped through the air.

This was a use of spatial force at its peak, allowing her to behave like a divine arrow that shot through the void at extreme speed but simultaneously allow for rapid changes in direction.

"Don't you dare touch my brother!"

By then, Sun Mengmeng had entirely recovered. She picked up her garuda bow. Flames rose all over her body.

"[Netherworld's Gaze]!"

Hundreds of arrows, like beams of moonlight, shot forward. Their flames felt as though they could destroy everything they touched.

The bolt of silver lightning into which Feng Xian had transformed struck down the flood of arrows, its shield of moonlight defending against the flames. Her body might well be a weapon in its own right.

She shifted directions mid-flight, rushing toward Sun Mengmeng.

"[Baptism of Hellfire: Full Moon]!"

Sun Mengmeng whirled her daggers all around her as a black moon rose into the air.

The ground exploded. Flames burst into the sky. Cracks of lava spread across the ground.

Sun Mengmeng stabbed forward with a dagger, the black moon behind her exploding as she shot forth.

Purple flames transformed into Sun Mengmeng's raiment. A long tail of flames whizzed by behind her, radiating a phantasmagorical glow. Like a meteor, she shot forward.

Her beautiful features took on a tinge of the fantastical when lit by the purple firelight.

With the barest hissing of wind, she unsheathed a long dark-red dagger. It struck the divine arrow in the air in an explosion of silver light and purple flames.

The man with the golden lamp in the distance blew out the flame from his lamp, seemingly intent on burying everyone present, ally and foe alike.

Yang Ze didn't care if he wanted to backstab his own allies, but he wouldn't sit idly by while he attacked the members of Team Zenith.

[The Boundless Blade: Daybreak] flashed, the strike forming a long river through the skies. The genetic energy burst apart in a shower of droplets.

Leiting Zi had a complicated look on his face upon seeing the spear thrust through Leiting Ya's head, but the next moment, he realized that something was amiss. Why hadn't Leiting Ya morphed into a shower of light?

Suddenly, Leiting Ya smiled in a feral grin, causing Fang Yi and Leiting Zi to shudder in a sudden chill.

Vital lightning flooded forth in a waterfall as Leiting Ya attacked.

"Are you a man or a monster?!"

Fang Yi and Leiting Zi held him off to the best of their abilities, but something strange was happening to Leiting Ya. His blood and flesh were warping, his body growing tumors that transformed into two arms and two heads. One was even larger than a rice cooker, and he didn't look human at all.

Leiting Zi reared back in fear. "What sort of monster are you?!"

Leiting Ya's two heads opened their mouths simultaneously and laughed, their eyes filled with madness and killing intent. "Hahaha, I've always wanted to try this!"

As Leiting Ya laughed, he continued to strike at the two cultivators. Leiting Zi was deeply disturbed and filled with mounting fear.

Fang Yi seemed to have come to a conclusion. "It's natural law!"

A bolt of five-colored lightning exploded as Leiting Zi's vicinity exploded with light. This was an ultimate technique born of the pinnacle of lightning, combining lightning with the five fundamental elements.Leiting Zi forced the monstrous Leiting Ya back.

Leiting Zi turned and asked, "What's going on?"

Fang Yi replied, "Do you remember that vital lightning can induce mutations?"

Leiting Zi shuddered. He had experienced that intimately for himself. That was why he and Fang Yi were both trying to prevent that green lightning from striking them at any cost.

Fang Yi continued, "Leiting Ya's using that lightning on himself—not for recovery, but to induce mutation."

If Fang Yi hadn't known about 'radiation', he wouldn't have been able to connect the dots so quickly. Leiting Ya looked as though he had survived a heavy dose of radiation.

Moments before death, Leiting Ya had used vital lightning on himself to mutate his body and avoid immediate death.

Leiting Zi's face turned green, greener than even the vital lightning. "He did all that in order to live? He became a monster? Is he crazy?"

Fang Yi replied, "I can't speak for his mental state, but it's hardly as though this is a permanent change. Any damage incurred in this virtual realm is only a projection, and no transformations are lasting. Indeed, he'll even gain experience from what he did here.

Mutations could be beneficial or harmful. Leiting Ya's control over vital lightning could cause harmful mutations, but he didn't yet have perfect control over beneficial mutations. He hadn't ever dared to use it on his own body, but gained the courage to do so with Fang Yi's spear headed straight for his head. If he were to die regardless, why not go out with a bang?

Leiting Ya laughed furiously as he charged forward. "Haha, that's right. Just like this, just like this!"

The mutations were still ongoing. Another arm grew out of Leiting Ya's back. Jade-green lightning crackled all around him. Leiting Zi gulped down his fear as he shouted, "You madman! Do you really think doing all this in this virtual realm won't affect you back in reality?"

"Haha, why not give it a try?" Leiting Ya continued to laugh madly. "I feel like I've almost got it. I might even be able to grow a second penis and have twice the fun—no, what about a vagina?"

"[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.

The clock's tolls resounded in the hall as Fang Yi pointed his spear straight toward Leiting Ya. "He's crazy."

The three cultivators continued to fight. After undergoing the mutation. Leiting Ya's vital lightning had grown even stronger and more sinister. Leiting Zi and Fang Yi defended at full strength, but as the fight turned more heated, after hundreds of clashes, they were struck by the vital lightning. Mutations were occurring within their bodies. Leiting Ya took advantage of the opportunity to press them harder, giving Leiting Zi and Fang Yi no time to deal with their nascent tumors.
