<h4>Chapter 1503: The Green-Robed Figure</h4>


    "No!" the Immortal King''s substitute cried out as his body lit up with divine mes, silver-white over a blood-red core. Thunder rumbled through the air.


    He was about to lose an opportunity that had just presented itself! Without any hesitation, the Immortal King''s substitute sacrificed his own life force as the mes transformed into a true phoenix in the air.


    "[Holy Dragon Sword: Bleaching the World]!"


    Heaven and earth suddenly lost color as the surroundings turned dim and dark, as though all that light had been snatched away. Li Feng and the area around him began to glow more brightly than the sun. The light grew more intense as the aura of the technique increased in strength.


    He struck, and the world lost color.


    White light saturated the world; everything was dyed white. Thepetitors'' sight turned solid white.


    The Immortal King''s substitute was incapable of blocking this attack, even by burning his own lifeforce.


    Just as the sword was about to strike the Immortal King''s substitute, his body exploded into a burst of mes, sending Li Feng flying back.


    The Immortal King''s substitute looked as though he was risking his life in order to fend off Li Feng, but that was only deception. He knew very well that he was in no state to take on Li Feng; he took advantage of the burst of strength from burning his own life force to flee.


    "I''ve lost today, but we''ll meet again. The next time, I''ll grow even stronger!"


    The Immortal King''s substitute flew off in a burst of sparks, faster than lightning, almost like a shooting star.


    Not only was he taking advantage of his temporary burst of strength, he also seemed to be boosted by some special item or prop.


    Even Feng Xian from Starbright Academy had a special escape prop, let alone a sessor to the Hall of Immortals.


    "Do you think I would let you flee?!"


    Li Feng moved at an incredibly rapid pace. His arclight dragon boosted his sword to the point that it was faster than many could even perceive. Even Zhang Lie only saw an unbroken stream of light.


    Everyone nched. No one could defend against such a rapid blow.


    A series of afterimages in light and shadow apanied Li Feng''s strike. A rainbow arc followed his sh, as though an aurora were visible in the sky. It shone in all the colors of the rainbow, momentarily hypnotizing anyone who looked at it.


    The starlight shot across the heavens. Li Feng''s body suddenly split into tens of thousands of copies, each with a dazzling gaze of rainbow light. The rosy-hued light was captivating and transported those who saw it into a realm of illusion. Li Feng left countless afterimages behind as he gave chase.


    Just as Li Feng''s sword was about to strike the Immortal King''s substitute''s lower back, an attack came out of nowhere, piercing the void and targeting Li Feng.


    Someone had hidden among the cultivators and was nowunching a sneak attack at him.


    Zhang Lie responded fastest.


    A frightening aura descended on the world. The skies began to darken, and a fish the size of a whale materialized in the air.


    "[Fists of the Silent Sea: Soar]!"


    A howling gale swept over the arena. As more and more gic energy gathered around Zhang Lie''s arms, it looked as though he were at the heart of a whirlpool.


    Ripples of energy spread out from Zhang Lie, warping the space around him. The towering waves looked like enraged ck dragons, flooding the area and striking the sneak attack.


    As the waves burst apart, the air filled with echoes of Zhang Lie''s signature gic energy, shattering space and swallowing up all life in its vicinity. Li Feng and the Immortal King''s substitute were both sent stumbling back.


    The Immortal King''s substitute clutched his chest. Li Feng''s sword had indeed struck his lower back, but the sneak attack had interrupted the blow. Although the Immortal King''s substitute had been hurt in a vital location, he hadn''t immediately perished. Li Feng nced sharply at the green-robed man standing beside the Immortal King''s substitute.


    The male cultivator''s features were obscured. Spots of copper rust were apparent on his robes, and he gave off an ancient aura.


    Zhang Lie flew toward him, a smile on his face, but his eyes were chilly. "Don''t you know it''s not a good habit to interrupt an ongoing fight?"


    The Immortal King''s substitute was just about to speak. "Eld—"


    The green-robed man cut him off. "Leave."


    "I won''t let you go!"


    Circles of light revolved around Li Feng in a feat of maniption, condensing light to such an extent that it took on near-physical form.


    "[Holy Dragon Sword: Light and Darkness]!"


    As though he had broken through some sort of limit, a transformation urred.


    Li Feng red brightly, transforming into a radiant sun. The light began to revolve and strobe, forming a circle of light. Individual photons were elerated and sent crashing into one another.


    This sort of high-energy radiation could easily destroy a star. The pulse of light was supercharged beyond its limits.


    A ck core appeared where the light bombarded itself, spreading rapidly and transforming into a ck hole. A tremendous suction formed around Li Feng''s hands.


    The birth of a ck hole inverted the flow of light-attuned gic energy. As Li Feng manipted it, it suddenly grew wider and began giving off dark matter.


    The dark matter didn''tbine destructively with the light-attuned gic energy like water and fire, which were mutually ipatible, or constructively, like water and earth, Rather, the dark matter was inert to light; both types of energy remained distinct and non-interacting.


    Li Feng shed forward with his sword, twining light-attuned gic energy and dark matter together in a technique of shocking strength.


    It seemed to devour the entire sky.


    Zhang Lie struck simultaneously.


    "[The Boundless de: Yawning Wave]!"


    Zhang Lie raised his pointer finger high into the air, manifesting a sword will that rose into the heavens, strong beyond human understanding, vast as the ocean.


    The sun glowed with splendor. Golden runes patterned the air. Starlight shone through the heavens.


    The realm, consecrated with the might of a golden sun, resplendent and zing, was so bright that the spectators had to look away.
