<h4>Chapter 1454: medemons</h4>


    Zhang Lie had struck a strong cultivator dead in just one blow!


    None of the cultivators who had progressed deep into the rock forest could have been weak, but that was precisely why Zhang Lie''s aplishment was so extraordinary.


    "Who would be able to stand against him?"


    "All medemons, charge alongside me!"


    Suddenly, one cultivator shouted at his fellows as he transformed into a huge bird in a sh of firelight and swooped onto the stage.


    "When have the medemons ever suffered such humiliation?!"


    "All who decry the medemons are enemies of our race!"


    Many fierce, red-winged monsters rose into the air. It looked as though the medemons were a race of no small repute, if they were able to field so manypetitors in the Cup.


    A huge fight broke out. Quite a number of spectators rushed into the arena, wanting to take advantage of the medemons to deal with a strong opponent like Zhang Lie.


    They were more than happy to get a significant threat out of the way.


    Yang Ze retreated to one side. "Captain, why''s everyoneing for you?"


    In the arena, one cultivator''s eyes shone in silver, imbued with temporal force. Any who were struck by the beams would have their actions slowed.


    "Help me guard Sun Xiaowu and make sure no one disrupts his metamorphosis."


    Zhang Lie''s concerns, however, would prove to be unnecessary. Sun Xiaowu was indeed in the most critical stage of his transformation, but the evolution had beenpleted and the inheritance received. He had sessfully taken ownership of the demonic seed in his forehead, and the seed that had once been a ck dot now took on the form of a golden rune.


    On careful inspection, it would be clear that this small rune was itself formed of countless small runes.


    Golden runes surrounded Sun Xiaowu''s body and resonated with the pce at the peak of the mountain. The golden runes surrounded him like an egg, protecting his body. No one would be able to hurt Sun Xiaowu now.


    As Zhang Lie activated his monarch-grade limitless universe soulshard, he glowed with ster radiance, like a burning star. Starlight flowed through his body in phantasmagorical colors. The silver beams of temporal light that shed from the cultivator''s eyes winked out.


    The starlight''s allure captivated all onlookers.


    Zhang Lie''s body transformed into a ze of the dark cosmos, as though the Milky Way itself flowed through his body. His aura grew tremendously. One punch was all it took to destroy the cultivator who had attacked him.


    One cultivator transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot over. All who were struck by the lightning would be charred hunks of flesh.


    However, Zhang Lie caused the lightning to dissipate with just one punch imbued with starlight. The cultivator nched and attempted to flee as another bolt of lightning, but Zhang Lie gave chase at incredible speed. He stomped him underfoot and crushed his body.


    The red-winged medemons flocked over, bringing with them a titanic storm of me.


    The red mes burned heaven and earth alike; even the void distorted from the heat.


    Zhang Lie unsheathed Guicang and shed forward, parting the sea of mes.


    One of the medemons spread his palms out. They glowed with light and manifested in the form of a goldennce wreathed with lightning and me. He tossed it out.


    Someone eximed, "This is one of the medemons'' secret techniques, a lightningmence of incredible abyssal strength."


    Zhang Lie activated his dragonwolf soulshard. His russet fur seemed to glimmer with ster radiance, each hair a shining star, as though he were draped with the entirety of the Milky Way. His four limbs were armored with a dragon''s scales, each a burning golden sun. The two soulshards'' powerbined.


    A dragon''s horns grew out of Zhang Lie''s forehead, shining with ster radiance, surrounded by gctic starlight. To others, he would seem to have the boundless energy of a new gxy.


    Zhang Lie swiped forward with his ws. Starlight flooded forward, splitting the sea of lightning in two.


    Sparks flew as his ws struck the fearful cultivator and destroyed him entirely.


    More red-winged monsters swooped forward, their wings sparking with fire and lightning.


    "[The Boundless de: Yawning Wave]!"


    A waterfall of gic energy was imbued in Guicang. As Zhang Lie shed forward with the sword, devastating sword energy was unleashed.


    The medemons shot forward in a burst of fire and lightning, defending themselves against the titanic waves of gic energy. A huge explosion rang out.


    Lightning and me fizzled across the arena. The initial wave of medemons had been killed, but even more charged forward.


    Zhang Lie''s pitch-ck gic energy, dotted with starlight, looked like the primordial matter that made up the universe. His eyes frosty, he charged at the cultivators arrayed around him.


    Within moments, Guicang had sent a dozen cultivators flying. He thrust the de into one cultivator''s forehead in a fountain of blood.


    Starlight exploded around him as the cultivator''s body burst apart.


    Zhang Lie was deep in a battle frenzy when another cultivator struck at him, hisnce like a bolt of lightning.


    It was another medemon.


    Zhang Lie blocked thence with Guicang in an explosion of starlight. His sword energy manifested as a ster river that sucked the medemon within, tearing him to shreds.


    Another medemon appeared, wreathed in purple lightning and red me.


    "I''ll kill you!" he thundered.


    Zhang Lie was like a demon king who had indiscriminately ughtered all opponentsing his way.


    He raised a hand, shed with his sword, and beheaded another cultivator in a shower of blood.


    "Are all the young medemon talents going to lose right here and now...?


    Some among the medemons were growing wary of this frightening cultivator who had easily dispatched any challenger. Who would have expected that he could be so overwhelmingly strong despite the fact that they were all from the same generation?
