<h4>Chapter 1379: Speckled Soul</h4>
"[Second Form: Piercing the Soul]!"
Zhang Lie''s disaster-grade mistmeld m soulshard activated as he infused its energy into his swords, causing them to shine radiantly with multicolored light. He nced straight at the chimera''s soul.
The disaster-grade chimera''s soul was speckled with six different colors: ck, whitegold, red, purple, gold, and ink. The six different colors rippled and drifted, but gold was predominant.
A rainbow arc apanied Zhang Lie''s sh, as though an aurora borealis were visible in the sky. It shone in all the colors of the rainbow, momentarily hypnotizing anyone who looked at it.
All those who witnessed the hypnotic light would stand still in a daze.
With Guicang in hand, Zhang Lie flew through the heavens. His sword shone as brightly as the auroras overhead, bringing him momentarily out of the physical into the intangible.
The disaster-grade mistmeld m soulshard, when incorporated into Zhang Lie''s soul-targeting attack, had the ability to target its opponent''s soul. As the shnded, the chimera shrieked.
The chimera was clearly stronger than an ordinary disaster-grade lifeform, and it managed to survive Zhang Lie''s [Second Form: Piercing the Soul].
Even so, its soul had been dealt a serious injury. Its six-colored soul trembled and quivered, and its constituentponents shook. Its wings, tail, body, and ws spasmed wildly and out of sync, while six of its heads suddenly seemed to be in wild disagreement with the other three.
This was... multiple personality disorder?
ording to the study of psychology poprized in the Milky Way, the disaster-grade chimera was clearly undergoing multiple personality disorder.
Onemon philosophical question of the Milky Way was whether the soul or the physical body was the core of a being.
Many believed the soul was the core; in fact, the body was.
All those who imed that beautiful appearances all meld together after a while, but interesting souls are few and far between—those tended to be the ones who cared about appearance most of all.
Why was the body the core? The Milky Way was a fundamentally material world, and a soul without a body could hardly be part of it.
On the other hand, a soulless body was a material existence.
The body was the root of the spirit, which allowed it to take material form. On the other hand, the soul wasn''t an independent existence; its form depended on the condition and age of its body.
The disaster-grade chimerabined the special properties of many different disaster-grade lifeforms, and its existence was unique. Now that its soul was so severely damaged, it was clearly incapable of handling thisbined body. Each constituent part of the body was now controlled by the individual souls out of which the chimera had been made.
Zhang Lie naturally didn''t intend on giving up on such an excellent opportunity to end the match. He unsheathed Hanguang.
"[des, Reverberate]!"
A blood dragon materialized around Zhang Lie. Energy poured out of him in waves, honing the edge of his de. The pulses of energy struck the realm like a tsunami, devouring everything within.
The twin des Guicang and Hanguang emitted a fearsome aura, shining as brightly as the sun and moon. Sword energy materialized from Guicang into a blood dragon that revolved around his body.
The de Hanguang morphed into a ck dragon, and the de Guicang into a blood dragon. The two dragons, coiling together as one, shot out toward Zhou Ying like a hurricane, bearing down on him with the might of Zhang Lie''s spiritual sea between them.
Infused with the blood moon and the ck sun, the twin dragons formed a ck whirlpool. Tremendous suction, like that from a ck hole, sucked up everything around the twobatantsyers of earth sank into the whirlpool, obliterated in an instant.
Three of the nine chimera heads'' eyes turned red. They roared with the power of the blood sun and ck moon, causing the other heads to regain focus. The radiant light emanating from its body transformed into a thousand rainbow banners that filled heaven and earth.
With their life in danger, the disparate parts of the chimera were forced to reunite.
The chimera turtled up in its shell.
The ck and blood dragons from Zhang Lie''s attack prated the shell, sending it flying like a cannonball with the strength of their attack. It smashed apart a ten-thousand-ton mountain and crushed countless others. It took a long while before the chimera could recover.
108 silver des trembled and shot straight at Zhang Lie in an attempt to pierce through him. The chimera had used its full strength in an attempt to hurt Zhang Lie.
"[de of the Heavens: the Sea Swells]!"
Zhang Lie stared at the chimera, his eyes cold. Energy poured out of him in waves, honing the edge of his de. The pulses of energy struck the realm like a tsunami, devouring everything within.
A frightening burst of sword energy spread out like a tsunami, cutting all the des apart.
The chimera howled in fury, but Zhang Lie was in the acme of his strength. He charged forward with Guicang.
The chimera stared at Zhang Lie with baleful eyes. Radiant light shot out from its mouth straight at him, who shattered the light with Guicang. It roared and flew through the air, then swooped down toward Zhang Lie with zing breath.
"[Ninecarp Transformation]!"
Red scales formed a natural suit of red armor around Zhang Lie. He was surrounded by what looked like scarlet mes, but was actually steaming, blood-red water-attuned gic energy. A ck sun rose behind his back, and a blood moon shone at his feet.
A long tail grew out of his back. His ck hair took on a red tint, as though they were lit up by an inner fire. Interlocking rings of ck and red that warped naturalw surrounded his body, and a domineering aura exuded from him.
Red water-attuned gic energy surrounded Zhang Lie, manifesting in the shape of a dragon.
He sent a sword sh, zing with fire, at the chimera. The fiery-red gic energy was interspersed with radiant light, suppressing the chimera''s mes in favor of his own.
The chimera howled. Before it could react, one of its hind legs had been chopped off.
