Chapter 1240: Ultimate Techniques


    The pocket dimension crumbled in earnest. The spatial locks that Zhu had set up cracked with the intensity of the white light that Li Feng had manifested.


    From the depths of the holy radiance, a blood-red explosion suddenly tore apart the light. It radiated outward, dyeing everything red in the process.


    Strong though the light might be, it wasn''t stronger than Fang Yi''s sixfold strike, and only three of Team Zenith''syered defenses had fallen.


    Zhang Lie transformed into a dragonwolf with russet fur and limbs covered with a dragon''s scales, and a dragon''s horns grew out of his forehead.


    Li Feng crowed, "I forced you to use your dragonwolf soulshard, Captain! It looks like I really have improved a great deal."


    Zhang Lie nodded. "All of you have been improving since the beginning."


    "In that case, Captain, are you pleased with my progress?"


    "That depends on what you''ve learned in battle."


    Li Feng sighed. "I haven''t intuited what you''re trying to teach me, Captain."


    "Then let''s keep fighting!"


    "Be careful, Captain. The rest of my techniques that I''ll show you are all ultimate techniques, far stronger than anything I''ve disyed to date!"


    "Excellent. Let''s see how much you''ve grown, then."


    Zhang Lie unsheathed Guicang, preparing to get serious himself.


    "[The Boundless de: Heaven''s Gate]!"


    Li Feng struck with his sword. A river of holy light seemed to trail behind him, and arclight dragons could be seen amidst the light. The source of the river was a pair of ornate doors. As those doors opened up, countless arclight dragons poured out from behind the doors, forming a concentrated river of light.


    Suddenly, with a sh, that white light was bisected.


    Zhang Lie''s attack was merely a thin line, but it felt as though countless whirlwinds of sword energy were manifesting before him. The holy dragons that had been summoned in a dense horde were obliterated in bursts of white light.


    The white light shot out all around like sharp des. Millions of holy dragons transformed into millions of des, more concentrated than even raindrops in a storm.


    Zhang Lie revolved in mid-air, defending himself with a sword.


    "[The Boundless de: Heaven''s Gate]!"


    Silvery-white gic energy burst forth as Li Feng raised the sword in his hand high into the air, as though a god were descending on the world.


    The entire sky was overshadowed by a silvery-white glow that faced off against the golden light.


    Holy hymns began to ring through the air.


    The hymns seemed to pierce straight through the soul, until the onlookers felt suddenly at ease, as though there was no strife with which to concern themselves.


    Zhang Lie''s soul was exceptionally strong, his will resolute, and he was wholly unaffected.


    Like waves, the silver glow pulsed forward,pping the shore, sounding like peals of thunder, like stampeding hooves. Each silver wave morphed into an arclight dragon, soaring through the air.


    The surface of the sea frothed with angry waves, like dragons emerging with the tide.


    Countless arclight dagons soared through the sky, which thundered amidst forks of white lightning. It looked as though a holy world were forming in the sky.


    Li Feng struck. A holy storm raged around him. Sword energy manifested as trailing dragons. A god descended as the heavens raged, as lightning forked through the air.


    Li Feng''s de arced through the air andnded like a heavenly tribtion. Thousands of holy dragons smote the sr king''s forces,


    The crackling of thunder covered up the sound of hymns, as though it was a requiem for the world...


    "[The Boundless de: the River Lethe]!"


    Zhang Lie raised the de in his hand high into the air, encircled by ck gic energy. The temperature of the air dropped to sub-zero values, and a strong wind buffeted the twobatants present. Blood-colored frost appeared around them.


    An underworld river materialized in the air. As though the doors to hell had just been thrown open, tens of thousands of serpents rushed out in a flood like thousands of courageous soldiers attacking in force.


    Holy light shed like lightning. The holy dragons danced madly through the air. White sword energy formed a holy storm as Zhang Lie found himself being suppressed for the first time. His ck serpents could be endlessly regenerated, but Li Feng''s sh somehow seemed to be of a higher tier than Zhang Lie''s. Zhang Lie couldn''t help but be startled.


    The current formed by millions of ck serpents was chopped up into small fragments; [The Boundless de: Heaven''s Gate] was dozens, even hundreds of times stronger, than thest technique Li Feng had executed.


    Pitch-ck energy exploded from Zhang Lie as though a demon were descending on the world.Zhang Lie struck once more.


    "[The Boundless de: the River Lethe]!"


    Waves surged forward, sounding like peals of thunder, like stampeding hooves.


    The surface of the sea frothed with angry waves, like dragons emerging with the tide. The entire sea roiled, and lightning crackled amidst the void.


    Countless serpents swam across the raging sea as lightning shed ominously overhead, a scene right out of an apocalypse.


    As Zhang Lie struck, an underworld river hurtled into existence, roaring into the sea. The sword energy roiled like ck waves.


    The sea had morphed into a boundless battlefield. The sea breeze was as a horn to action, and the serpents, thousands of courageous soldiers heeding its call.


    The entire world was covered in shes of light and darkness, which shed in the center of the pocket dimension.


    The two techniques formed a surprising pair: it was evident that Li Feng''s [The Boundless de: Heaven''s Gate] was meant to be a counterpart of Zhang Lie''s [The Boundless de: the River Lethe], but Li Feng had refined his version of the technique until it was all his own.


    Theherworld river and holy storm shed with each other, as did their draconic counterparts. Holy lightning struck ck waves; the sh between heaven and hell caused the pocket dimension to tremble, as though it were undergoing a severe tribtion.


    The sh between Zhang Lie''s ck serpents and Li Feng''s holy lightning caused the serpents to continuously explode and regenerate.


    In a sh of techniques with the same origin, however, Zhang Lie could hardly lose.


    Eventually, theherworld river overwhelmed the horde of holy dragons, the lightning, and the holy storm. Zhang Lie''sherworld river triumphed over all.
