<h4>Chapter 1543: An End to the Fight</h4>


    Above Feng Xian''s head was a golden cauldron protecting her body. Her mental energy manifested a divine sword that pointed straight at her opponents.


    Her team had had a numerical advantage, but the members of Team Zenith somehow managed to force parity. With Leiting Ya and the Immortal King''s substitute being killed, along with the man and woman in ck, the tide had turned against them.


    Except for Zhang Lie, who was facing off against the man in dark green robes at the top of the altar, the strongest enemy cultivator remaining was Sun Xiaowu. Only by killing him could Feng Xian salvage the fight.


    Sun Xiaowu fought without turning back.


    Three arrows, brimming with purple me, flew forward like tracking missiles.


    "[Lunarme Shot]!"


    The three ming arrows exploded in mid-air in a brilliant burst of fireworks that shattered the sword and caused it to dissolve in a storm of mental fragments.


    Sun Mengmeng frowned, her bow taut. "Do you think I''ll let you hurt my brother?"


    Sun Xiaowu beamed. He knew that his sister would protect him.


    With Sun Mengmeng guarding him, he had nothing to fear.


    Feng Xian whispered. Motes of light formed a faint specter of her that gave off a frightening aura and shocked all spectators.


    "[The Nine Moons of the Underworld]!"


    Nine ming moons appeared in the sky, overshadowing the illumination of the sun.


    They fell one after another, but Feng Xian managed to defend against their onught using a shield of mental energy.


    She then transformed that energy into weaponry: a sword one moment, ance the next, indestructible and unbelievably sharp.


    "[Baptism of Hellfire: Phoenix Rising]!"


    Sun Mengmeng''s body lit up with roaring purple mes. The phoenix that formed around Sun Mengmeng transformed into a zing tempest.


    A phoenix''s me took over the golden mes and transformed them into storms of hellfire. Phoenixes emerged from those storms, descending on the altar.


    Feng Xian sent a golden cauldron brimming with light surging toward the ming phoenixes.


    The mes exploded in a tempest. Mental energy blocked their advance, but Feng Xian''s physical body wasn''t able to hold out. The moonlight that shrouded her body lit up in mes.


    "Die!" Feng Xian thundered, enraged. The image of a phoenix appeared around her as her aura of moonlight transformed into ck mes that she absorbed as energy.


    "[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, shooting down rays of moonlight.


    Feng Xian''s body glimmered with moonlight of her own. The moonlight exuded from her andbined with her mental energy to unleash incredible 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.


    However, Feng Xian''s devastatingbination of light from her mental and physical selves, boasting incredible prating power, pierced through Sun Mengmeng''s waterfall of light and her barrage of ming arrows that followed.


    "[Baptism of Hellfire: Meteoric des]!"


    The mes condensed onto her throwing knives, which glimmered with blinding light. They seemed like fragments of a purple sun. ming phoenix wings stretched out from Sun Mengmeng''s back, propelling her forward in a burst of momentum. She transformed into a scorching meteor.


    Her meteoric des shed against Feng Xian''s sword.


    The sword cracked the altar as the mes burned the heavens. The purple mes exploded like meteors, like the most brilliant of fireworks.


    Feng Xian too unfurled two ming phoenix''s wings from her back. She flew up the ancient hall.


    "[Lunarme Shot: Ninefold Phantasmagoria]."


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


    Nine purplish-ck phoenixes rose around her and shot toward Feng Xian. The ck mes surrounded her and transformed into a whirlwind of me.


    The ck mes were sucked into her phoenix wings, which suddenly expanded greatly in size. The wings seemed to cover up the entire ceiling of the hall.


    Feng Xianbined her physical and mental strength in a burst of light. The ck me that she had absorbed through her wings red as she dove down toward Sun Mengmeng.


    "[Lunarme Shot]!"


    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.


    Sun Mengmengunched an arrowposed of mespressed to their utmost. Her opponent, Feng Xian, was a shining burst of radiance that resulted from the conjunction of physical and mental strength, reinforced by the ck mes that she had stolen from Sun Mengmeng. The sh between the two cultivators led to an explosion of ck me and mental energy all over the ancient hall, forcing the other cultivators back.


    The ck mes burned vibrantly on Feng Xian''s body, igniting her mental energy. A huge figure materialized behind her, a hundred meters tall, with branches smooth and shining, or covered with soft down. Leaves grew from the branches, narrow and needle-like, each one several meters long and tapering off to a jagged tip. It was arge, beautiful flower, one that looked like a phoenix with wings unfurled, preparing for flight. A deific air surrounded it; it glowed with light and gave off an alluring scent.


    A ck ring of me burst forth from Feng Xian as she broke through a barrier, bracing herself against a barrage of golden arrows as she elerated.


    "It''s time to put an end to this fight!"


    Feng Xian absorbed Sun Mengmeng''s mes and converted them into her own strength. The mes surrounded her and released overwhelming power.


    "[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 ck.
