Chapter 1161: Moon of Thousand Faces

Two more eyes grew out of the Everbearing Lady's crown, one gold and the other a vivid jade green.

After the transfer of strength, Zhou Ying's jade-green hair turned a more faded shade of green, and the golden leaves seemed to have likewise lost their luster. Her strength had been temporarily diminished.

Whereas Zhou Ying had sucked away the Everbearing Lady's strength, the Everbearing Lady instead received an infusion of channeled energy from Zhou Ying. After her strength was sucked away, the Everbearing Lady had almost wilted. On the other hand, Zhou Ying could still walk off stage with ease, and she simply had to take a short rest to regain the vitality she had consumed. She would even grow stronger.

The Everbearing Lady, who had her strength sucked away but then quickly replenished with Zhou Ying's own, would grow stronger than before as well. Zhou Ying's vitality would catalyze a transformation in her body.

Zhang Lie asked curiously, "What did you gain from absorbing the Everbearing Lady's strength?"

Sun Mengmeng echoed the question. "Have you developed any special abilities?"

To those questions, Zhou Ying simply smiled mysteriously. "I hope to demonstrate during our practice battles in the future."

She sat down cross-legged and began to meditate to replenish her lost energy.

"The next fight," the king of chaos announced.

Li Feng strode forward. On the other side of the hall, a gray ocean rolled up onto the arena. It looked featureless at first glance, but on closer inspection, there were small black dots that were like heads, and there were millions of such black dots within the sludge, floating in it. The heads were alive, and their eyes conveyed a tormented pain. Their lips murmured soundless cries, and tears rolled down their sunken cheeks.

The Moon of Thousand Faces would be Li Feng's competition.

The combatants exchanged no pleasantries or trash talk. The gray, sludge-like ocean simply gushed toward Li Feng.

"[Light Dragon's Remnants]!" Li Feng marshaled his genetic energy into the form of a large number of white dragons, which blocked the sludge's initial assault. Either in reaction to Li Feng's attack or the Moon of Thousand Faces' control, gray fog roiled above the sludge and spread across the arena.

The witch of dreams murmured, "To have encountered the Moon of Thousand Faces... your string of victories shall end here."

Zhang Lie glanced at her. "That's the third time you've said it."

The witch of dreams: ...

Nightdemon replied, "It's very possible that Li Feng might lose this time, so everyone's watching attentively. After all, it would be a loss of reputation if our invited guests were to win every fight against us."

Sun Mengmeng asked, "How strong is this Moon of Thousand Faces, really?"

The witch of dreams replied, "Strong even among the halls of chaos."

"How about in comparison to Ghroth?"

Ghroth was the only particularly strong member of the halls of chaos that they had faced, and the members of Team Zenith could only use Ghroth as reference. They knew that Ghroth had been third among the halls of chaos when he was still one of its members.

The witch of dreams replied, "Incomparable to the walking disaster, but the Moon of Thousand Faces can weather Ghroth's assault and live."

The hunters glanced at each other uncertainly. It had taken basically all of them to take down Ghroth. It looked as though Li Feng would face an uphill battle indeed.

"[Dance of the Incandescent Wyrm]!" Li Feng summoned dozens of serpents, flaring with blinding light.

Hundreds of shining serpents tore apart the gray fog and landed in the gray sludge. The serpents, composed of light-attuned genetic energy, were slowly dissolved by the gray fog, but even so, as the bulk of them landed on the surface of the sludge, the sludge began to react.

A nine-headed hydra emerged from the sludge, each head thick as could be, its scales formed of heads of various aliens. The heads sprayed out a breath of gray fog, dissolving the ground of the arena and transforming it into a swamp.

"[Arclight Dragon's Imprint]!" With a shout, Li Feng waved his left arm, around which a torrent of light-attuned genetic energy was gathering. It took the form of a gigantic dragon's claw, rending the fog and striking one of the hydra's heads.

The remaining eight heads all struck at once.

"[Light's Bulwark: Draconic Fist]!" Li Feng clenched his fist. His right arm, clad with light, was covered with scales. The scales began to move as an arclight dragon materialized, howled, and rushed toward the solar king...

One arclight dragon bit off a hydra head. The remaining seven surrounded Li Feng, opened their maws wide, and sprayed out toxic air.

Li Feng's body shone with intense white light, illuminating him until he was burning like a midday sun.

The Moon of Thousand Faces' toxic gray fog was indeed very impressive, and it quickly corroded the light-attuned genetic energy. Even the draconic armor that had just condensed over Li Feng's body quickly turned an ashen gray.

"[Light's Bulwark: Dragon's Teeth]!" Li Feng charged up for a stronger attack. Concentrated light-attuned genetic energy surrounded him as he shot out a piercing burst of light, intending to penetrate through the hydra's heads.

He fought his way out of the heads' encirclement.

The remaining six heads chased after him, toxic gray clouds spraying from their heads.

Li Feng ran for it. Light-attuned genetic energy shone through his corroded armor.

"[Light's Bulwark: Meteoric Fist]!" The arclight imprint rapidly gathered, and a white dragon appeared behind him. As Li Feng punched forward, the dragon shot toward the hydra like a bullet from a sniper rifle. It left behind a starry trail, breathtakingly beautiful.

Li Feng sent out a flurry of punches like bullets from a machine gun. Starlight shone down on the hall of chaos, causing Zhang Hanxiang, Sun Mengmeng, and Hong Xi to gape in awe.

Zhang Hanxiang murmured, "It's little wonder that Li Feng's the only one among all of us who has a girlfriend. His techniques are so pretty."

Yang Ze scoffed. "A mammoth for a girlfriend..." He would rather not have one than have a mammoth one.

The remaining six hydra heads were staggered by the blows.

"[Light's Bulwark: Earthbreak]!" Li Feng's fists, glowing with light, were packed with huge quantities of light-attuned genetic energy. They smashed into the ground in a massive explosion, as though a nuclear warhead had detonated. All that energy headed in a certain direction.

The floor cracked as Li Feng targeted the gray sludge.

However, the Moon of Thousand Faces wasn't an easy opponent. The gray sludge roiled forth, exploding as it came into contact with the light-attuned genetic energy and shielding the Moon of Thousand Faces' main body from the blow.

.

"[Light's Bulwark: Heavenfall]!" A silvery-white glow, blinding in its intensity, exploded from Li Feng's body. The shockwaves that emanated from his body were so intense as to distort space. They roared through the air like thundering dragons, turning the hall white.
