<h4>Chapter 1031: Hong Xi''s Transformation</h4>


    If Hong Xi hadn''t been lucky enough to meet Zhang Lie, the Hong n would have beenpletely exterminated by now.


    Unlike Zhang Lie, Hong Xi found the techniques of [Eclipse] and [ck Sun] particrly meaningful, and she had studied, researched, and cultivated them deeply. Her hard work had subsequently be her downfall.


    [Eclipse] and [ck Sun] were a set of paired techniques, but they weren''t a perfectly matched pair.


    There had originally been little issue with [Eclipse] and [ck Sun], but upon consuming Potion #4, Hong Xi''s body teetered on the precipice. A small w could be immediately magnified, causing a very serious problem indeed. [Eclipse] and [ck Sun] began to sh with each other.


    Zhang Hanxiang hurriedly asked, "Brother, what should we do?"


    Zhang Lie shook his head. "There''s nothing we can do. We''ll have to keep watching and hope that Hong Xi can make it through this stage herself."


    While the two of them were talking to each other, Hong Xi struggled. She didn''t disappoint the two of them; in the end, she sessfully survived the sh of energies. Gold, ck, and silver threads appeared around her.


    The silver threads were like skeins of moonlight, the ck threads like burning me. The gold threads represented karma and fate. The threads in three colors intertwined and mutually influenced each other.


    They formed a cocoon around Hong Xi, wrapping her up in ck sunlight and silver moonlight.


    The cocoon pulsed like a beating heart. The energy within it grew denser and denser. The ck threads exploded with light, like a burning sun, followed quickly by the silver threads, like a bright full moon.


    The ck and silver threads criss-crossed. Energy spread and twisted between them.


    Two distinct energies swirled around the cocoon, shing against and refining each other, trying to merge together into one. Hong Xi''s cocoon seemed more like a furnace, and the ck sunlight and silver moonlight like steel and me. In their midst, something was being constructed.


    An unknown change was urring within the cocoon. Silver sunlight and ck moonlight appeared, followed by a crisp, sharp snap.


    A crack appeared on the surface of the cocoon. Silver moonlight flooded out, and pitch-ck sunlight rushed into the air.


    The crack propagated, forming a hole. Two beams of light rushed out from the cocoon, shining brightly in the air. Everyone in the superior draconian world could see them.


    In the sky was a pitch-ck sun and a shining silver moon. The remnant energies in the cocoon now swept out over the ground, forming a sea of ck mes that melted the frost that remained from Zhang Hanxiang''s earlier advancement.


    With a wave of his hand, Zhang Lie blocked the advance of the mes, shielding himself and his sister. As silver moonlight merged into the sea of ck mes, the ground cracked.


    The cocoonpletely crumbled. ck mes and silver moonlight shrouded Hong Xi. Her twin eyes were bright: the left had transformed into a miniature ck sun, and the right into a miniature silver moon.


    In the sky, a golden thread appeared between the ck sun and silver moon. As Hong Xi pointed at the sky, her fingers twisting together, the golden thread forced the ck sun and silver moon to merge.


    Zhang Lie''s eyes gleamed in understanding. "A genius idea—to make use of karmic power tobine [Eclipse] and [ck Sun]."


    [Eclipse] and [ck Sun] were already a matched pair of techniques, and there was a strong karmic link between them. The longstanding feud between the Hong and Musi ns had strengthened that link manifold, and Hong Xi cultivated both techniques personally. Her idea ofbining the techniques via a karmic link was evidently a huge sess.


    The ck sun and silver moon slowly approached each other. As they grew closer, their colors changed. The ck sun turned slightly gray, and the silver moon, slightly brown.


    The draconian sage appeared by Zhang Lie and Zhang Hanxiang''s side with a sudden teleport. "What''s going on now?"


    Upon witnessing the ck sun and silver moon in the air, he was quite certain that Hong Xi was the cause of the disturbance this time, and Zhang Hanxiang with the sudden change in temperature moments before. When the members of Team Zenith had consumed Potion #4, they had caused simr disturbances around them.


    "Shh!" the two Zhang siblings both shushed the draconian sage immediately, who couldn''t help but remark on the familial resemnce.


    He turned to Hong Xi and watched warily as she absorbed her newly unlocked energy, in case she caused an explosion as Fang Yi had.


    Despite the fact that the draconian world had evolved into a superior world, and that they were in the wilderness, the draconian sage would still be upset to see hisnd explode away.


    The ck sun and silver moon began to merge. The ck sun turned a deep red, and the silver moon a rusty red. Everyone in the draconian world looked up at the unexpected celestial phenomenon, the merging ck sun and silver moon.


    "What''s that?"


    "Not the beginning of an apocalypse, surely?"


    "Could it be invaders from afar?"


    "Why is there an additional sun and moon in the sky?!"


    Fear, curiosity, panic, and shock—all sorts of emotions filled the aliens, the entire draconian world.


    As the king of the realm, the draconian sage could naturally sense their panic and worry. He immediately announced, "Everyone, remain calm. This is an unusual phenomenon, but there''s nothing to be worried about. Leaders of the various alien races, please maintain order."


    With the king of the realm''s pronouncement, the aliens naturally rxed.


    The ck sun and silver moon merged perfectly, forming a bright-red wheel of fire, as their corresponding energiesbined as well.


    The wheel of me shone with light. A beam of light shot down toward Hong Xi, covering her body. Energy coalesced behind her back and formed a crimson sun. On its surface, a pale blue moon appeared.


    With the appearance of the moon, a pale blue domain formed all around her. Zhang Lie and Zhang Hanxiang, who were within the domain, found their strength being sapped away...
