Chapter 1368: Methods of Assault
Bu Wentian couldn't help but laugh upon seeing Yang Ze's trickery. "A trickster, eh?"
Zhang Lie smiled as well. "It looks like you're a fan of this companion of mine, Senior."
Bu Wentian replied, "Your companions really are quite interesting. They have diverse expertise in various domains and signature fighting styles. That Fang Yi, for example, is focused almost entirely on his spear, but his true strength lies in his ultimate techniques. On the other hand, this companion of yours emphasizes dodging and avoidance, and likely is superior even to you in those regards."
Zhang Lie smiled. "My companions have all pioneered their own paths.
Bu Wentian asked curiously, "Who managed to teach such interesting hunters? Was it you?"
Zhang Lie shook his head. "It's all thanks to their hard work."
Within the trial world, what caused the black turtle to despair was that, while it had been furiously smashing on its shell, Yang Ze had formed three thousand ice lotuses, along with a huge horde of raging sharks.
With a wave of his hand, the ice lotuses and raging sharks swamped the turtle, who immediately hid back in its shell without any hesitation.
The buds that Yang Ze had placed initially finally exploded. Lotus flowers made of pure water blossomed from the buds, each an intricate construct of genetic energy. The flowers struck the turtle's shell with continuous plinks, but the turtle relaxed upon realizing that its shell boasted a strong enough defense to protect itself.
It was just about to relax when the ice lotuses exploded all around itself like a tempestuous sea.
The dense explosion of water-attuned genetic energy sounded like roaring thunder, like stampeding horses. The shell shook and trembled, as though it would be sent flying at any moment.
"[The Boundless Blade: Nine-Headed Hydra]!"
Genetic energy exploded from Yang Ze and manifested in the form of a nine-headed hydra, which sprayed out nine breaths of sword energy.
The nine breaths of sword energy struck the shell from nine different directions like blazing flames. The shell began to crack as the nine-headed hydra seized it, surrounding it with a torrent of genetic energy like a whirlpool.
The turtle felt as though its shell was about to give way under the attack. At a critical moment, Yang Ze struck the turtle a devastating blow, the straw that broke the camel's back.
"[The Boundless Blade: Hundred-Headed Hydra]!"
Yang Ze's genetic energy manifested in the form of an astounding hundred-headed hydra.
As he drew on spatial force, the hydra sprayed out a hundred simultaneous beams of sword energy, pale blue genetic energy, and compressed spatial force from a high-dimensional layer of space.
With a huge explosion, the shell broke apart, sending the turtle flying into the distance as though it had been struck by a cannonball.
It took a long time before the turtle was able to get back to its feet, at which point it roared in outrage and charged forward once more.
The turtle, in a feat of extreme strength, lifted up an entire mountain and threw it toward Yang Ze.
With a flick of his fingers, Yang Ze commanded the hundred-headed hydra to spray another concentrated beam of dragon's breath, spearing through the disaster-grade turtle's body before it could unleash another attack.
The disaster-grade turtle was pierced through by the barrage. Yang Ze flashed by the turtle's side, digging out the disaster-grade core in its body before it could recover.
The will of the fourth realm announced in Yang Ze's head, [You successfully killed a disaster-grade heroic black turtle. By consuming the core of the disaster-grade heroic black turtle, you may receive one to ten disaster gene fragments.]
The trial beast that Sun Xiaowu was facing in his trial was also particularly frightening.
It flashed with white light. Gusts of wind surrounded it as it sent hundreds, thousands of tons of rock into the air. It clashed against Sun Xiaowu once and again, claws against fist, as those rocks were sent flying all around the two combatants.
Zhang Lie recognized Sun Xiaowu's opponent immediately: the disaster-grade whitegold tiger.
The tiger roared, spraying out a burst of silver light. Killing intent filled the air. Sun Xiaowu blocked the attack with a burst of energy. Behind him, a mountain collapsed and exploded, the rock turning into smithereens.
A huge white claw slammed down on his body, but Sun Xiaowu dodged it. A large trench formed where the claw landed, the bottom of which couldn't be seen from up above.
The white tiger attacked furiously. Every part of its body could be used as a weapon—even with its back to Sun Xiaowu, it could strike at him with a flick of its tail.
Its ferocity shocked everyone.
"[Goldenscale Palm]!"
Sun Xiaowu's arms glowed with resplendent light, and a layer of dense golden scales emerged over his skin.
An aura of intense strength emanated from Sun Xiaowu's body. Frightening shockwaves of energy radiated through the battlefield as Sun Xiaowu punched forward.
The tiger sprayed out a burst of white light, shining with metallic luster, as it defended itself against the titanic waves. A huge explosion rang out.
A huge rumble shook the heavens, and the entire world quaked. Golden radiance shot through the air as the ground cracked and the world fell to pieces.
The white tiger roared, its eyes cold, as it leapt toward Sun Xiaowu.
Sun Xiaowu smashed forward with a punch, causing both combatants to quake. A meteor's worth of energy exploded in mid-air, and the ground quaked as though a volcano were about to explode.
The tiger roared again as sharp blades grew out of its back at even intervals along its spine, each with a silvery-white sheen. Killing intent filled the air.
The blades stood like pillars separating heaven from earth, thick and ice-cold, giving the onlookers a chilling sensation.
The blades were ridiculously massive, and unusual phenomena were occurring around them. Blood was starting to appear on each blade. It was a frightening sight.
The blades seemed like a manifestation of the tiger's domain.
Sun Xiaowu commented, "I've seen quite a few disaster-grade lifeforms, but never ones with such a domain with such a physical manifestation..."
A domain was the result of excess energetic emanations surrounding a disaster-grade lifeform, and domains usually matched a lifeform's characteristics.
The reason a disaster-grade lifeform became a walking disaster was because of this energy that they exuded, which would affect everything around them.
For instance, the six disaster-grade stone guardians they had faced exuded flames, lightning, wind, and waves.
The disaster-grade whitegold tiger had actually manifested its domain fully, transforming it into a unique means of attack.
