<h4>Chapter 1400: Rain of Dark me</h4>


    As the nine ming moonsnded, ck and golden me exploded in wave after wave of fire.


    The golden lotus seat rooted itself in the ming inferno. It shook amidst the ck waves of fire as it absorbed the me and transformed it into Qingyue Ge''s strength.


    Zhang Lie frowned tightly. "Sun Mengmeng was unlucky enough to have encountered an opponent that counters her directly."


    Yang Ze nodded. "That''s right."


    Qingyue Ge''s ability proved to be a direct counter to Sun Mengmeng''s. His cultivation technique revolved around golden lotuses blooming in intense me, which took advantage of Sun Mengmeng''s abilities.


    "Furthermore, that special relic he has just augments his advantage further."


    The spectatorsughed at Sun Mengmeng. "That woman had better give up quickly. Against the child of Divinity Qinglian—the oue of this match is certain."


    Yang Ze shook her head. "Sun Mengmeng doesn''t look as though she''s nning to give up."


    "It''s a waste of effort."


    The spectators around Yang Ze and Zhang Lie bore no hope for her.


    Zhang Lie shook her head. "The oue of the match remains undecided."


    "Isn''t it obvious? This woman''s skilled with fire, but Qingyue Ge can manipte me and transform it into his own strength. She''s being entirely suppressed. Is there a need to resist further?"


    "If it were me, I''d have surrendered long ago."


    "Keep watching," Zhang Lie replied. "You''ll see."


    "[Lunar Apostasy]!"


    Sun Mengmeng''s entire bow was zing. Sheunched her arrows straight into the air, which exploded among the clouds and formed a ck moon,


    The moon exploded and shot down rays of moonlight, causing the lotus seat to shake as the arena transformed into a sea of ck me.


    Qingyue Ge waved his hand, causing golden lotuses to bloom once more out of the mes, like holy flowers emerging from hell.


    The lotus mark on Qingyue Ge''s brow glowed with light. As they stood on the golden lotus seat, they looked like an immortal descending from the heavens. Many females, watching from the audience, screamed shrilly as they watched Qingyue Ge avidly.


    The mes surrounding Sun Mengmeng erupted like a volcano, distorting space in a huge area around her and strengthening the mes around.


    Sun Mengmeng howled into the air. Fire-attuned gic energy erupted from her body, and her pitch-ck eyes burned red. The mes formed a ck hurricane with her at its eye. It sucked in all the mes around the arena and grew even stronger, dyeing the heavens ck.


    Lava began to form on the ground as the mes transformed into Sun Mengmeng''s strength.


    "[Netherworld''s Torrential me]!"


    A frightening fan of mes poured out from Sun Mengmeng''s bow, an attack far stronger than the moonlight she had summoned. The intensity of her technique shocked everyone.


    The mes arced in the air and fell toward the battlefield in a waterfall.


    The golden lotuses exploded and their seeds shot out like bullets. Golden mes bloomed in the air like flowers. The golden lotus seat''s petals extended protectively around Qingyue Ge, protecting them.


    The petals rippled with light. Qingyue Ge, who had seemed rxed all this time, began to frown tightly. Even so, they smiled. "Not only is she pretty, she''s amazingly strong and skilled with fire. What a treasure to behold."


    "[Lunarme Shot: Ninefold Phantasmagoria]."


    Sun Mengmeng''s surroundings began to burn with dark red mes as sheunched yet another attack.


    Nine purplish-ck phoenixes rose around her and shot toward Qingyue Ge. All the mes on the arena turned dark gold as they surrounded the golden lotus seat in a giant hurricane.


    The golden seat continuously absorbed the strength of the mes in its vicinity, lighting up lotus after lotus. Qingyue Ge plucked out a lotus seed and flicked it at Sun Mengmeng.


    Before it could strike Sun Mengmeng, a surprising phenomenon urred.


    The golden lotuses rooted themselves in the void, a divine and holy deity of fire appearing over each one, chanting scripture in some unknownnguage. Even more frightening were the bones, skeletons, and malevolent specters underneath the lotuses, filled with grudges and curses, the contrast more dissonant than even the ninthyer of the underworld.


    Underneath the holiest of golden lotuses were the most malevolent curses and killing intent.


    "[Lunarme Shot: Might of the Garuda]!"


    Sun Mengmeng reacted quickly. Purplish-ck mes gathered on Sun Mengmeng''s bow once again, forming an arrow of pure ck.


    The image of a golden garuda, limned in ck, appeared behind her. As she loosed her arrow, it seemed to transform into a beam of light, moving so quickly that it bypassed the constraints of time and space, as though it could prate anything.


    The arrow caused no earth-shattering explosion. It was in and ordinary, and no sound marked its advance. It struck the golden sea of lotuses, piercing through countless skeletons and ghouls, as it made its way toward Qingyue Ge''s golden lotus seat.


    The ck arrow struck the seat. Illusory petals let out a shrill scream as gold and ck mes exploded around it. The arrow caused a cavity to appear in the lotus seat as Qingyue Ge summoned its strength. The lotus seat glowed with radiant light, and eighty-one lotuses bloomed and unfurled around it in a spray of holy light. The ck arrow was obliterated.


    ck me struck the golden lotus seat with a sh of metal against metal, sending sparks flying.


    "[Lunarme Shot: Extirpation of the Garuda]!"


    ck mes, stuck together, flowed likeva along the ground. Wrapped in me, Sun Mengmeng strode forth. Her pupils had been reced by ck me, and she looked like a demon from the abyss.


    As Sun Mengmeng infused her gic energy into the bow, the image of a garuda appeared behind her. She released her arrow, which morphed into a human-faced, golden-winged bird in mid-air, radiating red light as it arced through the skies. It began to pulse with red me, brimming with such energy that it seemed as though it would set the world ame.


    The destructive energy dyed everything in sight a patch of ck.


    The entire arena seemed to transform into a furnace. The ground melted and turned into boiling-hotva.


    Sun Mengmeng released her arrow, which morphed into a human-faced, golden-winged bird in mid-air, radiating red light as it arced through the skies.


    The garudanded in a hurricane of pitch-ck mes as it arched its wings wide.


    It began to pulse with red fire, brimming with such energy that it seemed as though it would set the world ame.


    Sun Mengmeng''s attack scorched the heavens and the earth in a tremendous surge of destructive energy. The golden lotuses, deities of fire, skeletons and ghouls—all were swept away by cleansing, all-epassing me. The golden lotus seat shook violently. A rain of petals formed.
