<h4>Chapter 1589: Battle of the Hundred Seas</h4>


    The sea roared, the wind howled. Huge waves surged up from the sea of spacetime, crushing everything in their path.


    Even the sshes of water that resulted possessed incredible destructive ability, but Zhang Lie''sherworld sea was a different matter entirely.


    The pitch-ck gic energy covered up the heavens. Waves surged forward, sounding like peals of thunder, like stampeding hooves.


    The two seas struck each other time and again, round after round, each collision sending shockwaves of immense energy. Even so, victory had yet to be decided.


    "[The Boundless de: Dragon''s Wrath]!"


    Guicang unleashed a barrage of sword energy in the form of a ster dragon.


    The dragon''s howls shook heaven and earth. Pitch-ck gic energy rose up, forming huge waves and countless ster dragons that crashed into the sea of spacetime.


    Out of the sea of spacetime manifested thousands of courageous soldiers attacking in force, shing against the ster dragons.


    Zhang Lie''s sword transcended spacetime.


    His illusory ster dragon strikes manifested into reality in his hands.


    This was the greatest treasure he had obtained from the Gctic Rising Stars Cup, imparting a deeper sense of reality to his sword techniques that could manifest energy and will in the physical world.


    This was a frightening ability.


    A single sh cut apart thousands of spacetime soldiers, their battalion wiped out by the ster dragons'' starlight. The energy of spacetime dissipated.


    Zhang Lie''s sword was so overwhelming that even spacetime couldn''t do anything about it. Space and time were both vanquished by his attacks.


    Cthaat howled loudly as the pitch-ck sea parted into five portions.


    One portion was pitch-ck and otherwise ordinary; one portion wasposed of the energy of annihtion; one portion wasposed of spatial energy; one portion wasposed of temporal energy; and the final portion glowed with starlight, like a ster sea.


    This final portion had emted the technique Zhang Lie had just demonstrated.


    In the blink of an eye, Cthaat had transformed into five major seas.


    The five seas all surged forward, the nature of the water varying wildly in each case. Perhaps Zhang Lie was the only one who could appreciate the artistry of these five seas.


    "[First Form: Parting the River]!"


    Bright sword energy radiated from Zhang Lie like brilliant rays of sunlight, illuminating the entirety of the world.


    The tide shot toward Zhang Lie like rampaging troops rushing forward. The raging sea of annihtion was poised to destroy the world, to destroy the bnce between heaven and earth.


    The spatial sea surged forth with waves as tall as city walls. The temporal sea formed thousands of steeds that shot forward as a vanguard. The spatial and temporal seasbined and morphed into a huge battlefield.


    The ster sea sent out wave after wave of starlight, each wave like a battalion of troops galloping and rushing forward, like meteors and steeds arcing through the air.


    A frightening force descended, energy rumbling and rippling around him. As Zhang Lie swung the de in his hand, a huge sh of sword energy shot downward and crashed against the five elemental seas in an incredible explosion.


    His sword energy formed a raging tempest. Bells seemed to toll around the battlefield.


    In the end, he was unable to withstand thebined assault of the five seas, whose waves forged onward against Zhang Lie.


    The tides surged forward like a battalion, like hordes of ravenous tigers and wolves. The waves were a few hundred meters high, like city walls.


    "[Shadow and Light]!" Zhang Lie whirled around. He suddenly appeared as a series of afterimages that shed forward with their swords simultaneously.


    An incredible sword will 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.


    His surroundings were resplendent and zing, so bright that the spectators had to look away.


    The spectators found their souls trembling.


    Heaven and earth resonated with the will of the sword and tore apart the waves and the sea.


    "This isn''t over yet!"


    "This isn''t over yet!"


    "This isn''t over yet!"


    "This isn''t over yet!"


    The voices echoed as if dozens, or even hundreds, of Cthaats began to talk.


    The seas split up once more, again and again, forming seas ofva, lightning, poison, mud... There were far too many to count. Zhang Lie''s sword shattered each and every one, turning them into swamps that yet continued to coalesce into a huge sea formed from a medley of elements.


    The sea of mishmash was unexpectedly strong. Waves surged one after another, apanied by the sound of incredible howls.


    Hanguang appeared in Zhang Lie''s hands, parting a set of waves.


    The waves grewrger andrger, rumbling like thunder, like an army fielded by Cthaat.


    "[Syzygy]!"


    A pitch-ck sun appeared behind Zhang Lie, and a blood moon by his feet. His aura was magnified tenfold, and a halo of ck sun appeared above his forehead. Naturalw seemed to warp around him. Runes likewise appeared on the bloody moon by his feet, forming an intricate array.


    The bloody moonlight illuminated the entire sea.


    The energy of the sea was drained as Zhang Lie''s aura rapidly grew stronger, as though he were consuming the sea''s strength and transmuting it into his own.


    "What have you done?!"


    "What have you done?!"


    "What have you done?!"


    Dozens of Cthaats roared at Zhang Lie as one.


    Zhang Lie crossed his twin des. The blood moon resonated with the de in his left hand, and the ck sun with the de in his right.


    The ck sun''s mes strengthened Zhang Lie''s attacks and burned away his opponent''s. As the realms of reality and illusion inverted, Zhang Lie simultaneously shed forward with both des, destroying the waves before him.


    "It''s useless!"


    "Don''t waste your breath."


    "You''re far too puny against the likes of the sea."


    "Even if you can weaken me, you can hardlypare to the vast sea itself."


    Dozens of Cthaats spoke up simultaneously as the waves continued surging forward, so tall they dwarfed even the tallest of mountains. They were majestic beyond description.


    Zhang Lie charged forward, shing apart wave after wave, fighting against Cthaat for hundreds of rounds on end.
