Chapter 868: Potian Begs for Mercy

"I\'ve underestimated you. I was going to send you away, but now, only your death will quench my rage!" Feitian howled. As it invoked the authority of the world, the sea of blood roiled and condensed around him.

Feitian floated at the eye of the blood-colored whirlpool as its wounds rapidly healed. Its arms, which had been cut off, grew back. "I\'ve never been so angry in tens of thousands of years, and I\'ve locked this form away for all this time. To be able to pressure me to this extent—you, mortal, should feel honored!"

The blood-colored seawater drained into Feitian\'s body as it swelled up and evolved. Huge numbers of faces and hands grew out of its swollen body; each face had, as usual, one eye and one mouth.

Potian\'s ruined body emerged from underneath the surface of the sea. It began to laugh. "Haha, you\'re dead meat! Father\'s not going to let you go in this form!"

Potian\'s body had split into quite a few pieces, but only a two-segment piece had survived the ordeal.

Potian regrew from that segment of its body, but it only had the resources to make an additional third segment, a far cry from its previous form. Rather than a centipede, it looked more like a large shrimp.

Even so, Potian had managed to survive Zhang Lie\'s attack.

"Just existing in his true form is enough to destabilize the xuluo world and do damage to it!"

The superior kings of each world, including Feitian, generally had far more than enough strength to ascend to a higher realm, but they had chosen to remain because they were afraid of what would happen to the worlds they had spent so much care taking of after their departure. In order to prevent their strength from destabilizing their worlds, they sealed it in an alternate form.

"Do you know just what this sea of blood is?" Compared to Potian\'s original thousand-segment body, its current three-segment form looked strangely comical. The second segment of its body began to laugh shrilly. "The sea of blood is Father\'s own flesh and blood—yes, it fills up the surface of the xuluo world! Now that all that flesh is returning to Father\'s body, you\'re dead meat, haha!"

The first segment of Potian\'s body cackled proudly. "Why do you think Father was able to suppress my strength? He might as well be the xuluo world itself! No one in this world can defeat him."

Zhang Lie ignored Potian. He slashed in its direction with his blade, and the scarlet genetic energy annihilated the first segment of its body.

The head on Potian\'s second segment grew alarmed. Even if the arrogant fellow was about to be killed by its own father, Potian itself didn\'t have the strength to provoke him.

Zhang Lie struck again. Another slash of scarlet genetic energy shot toward Potian, leaving a trail of steam in its wake.

"Save me, Father!" The second segment of Potian\'s body immediately ran toward Feitian. Its two segments had four human legs between them, and it was able to run surprisingly rapidly across the seabed.

Just as Zhang Lie\'s strike annihilated the second segment of Potian\'s body, a mysterious strength descended from the heavens and nullified Zhang Lie\'s attack.

Zhang Lie easily recognized the source of this mysterious strength: heaven\'s might! He raised his head and saw Feitian looking down at them from above, its body so massive that it defied all expectations.

Rather than being a dragon that was curled up around the ground of the superior world, it was more like a humongous parasite whose size was beyond anything that the world could support, as though a tree on a building\'s roof had roots which penetrated through the building, whose canopy covered up the entire rooftop. Feitian had no such roots, but its own body was parasitic in nature. It continuously absorbed more and more of the world\'s energy to strengthen itself.

Potian had been incorrect on one point: Feitian hadn\'t chosen to seal away its flesh and blood because it didn\'t want to destroy the world.

Instead, it was trying to delay the ascension process as long as it could while sucking up all the energy from the world to bolster its physical body.

.

The sea of blood that covered the entirety of the xuluo world was the result of those efforts.

The reason Feitian didn\'t want to ascend was because it knew that it would have to start from scratch in the next realm. Rather than be a weak bug in a higher realm, it would much prefer to be a tyrant among the three thousand worlds.

Feitian\'s body was humongous. Not only did its massive body wrap around the entire xuluo world, its head, with 9,999 faces, was stuck between the xuluo world and the depths of outer space. It had an equal number of eyes and mouths, and at the very center of its head was an engorged eye the size of the sun. Its body was supported by thirty-six legs.

It had stored so much power in its body that it was affecting the flow of karma in the world; its very presence was damaging the world\'s existence.

The xuluo world was slowly disintegrating. Cracks propagated from where Zhang Lie\'s attack had penetrated the land, giving rise to a deep abyss.

The space around Feitian began to warp and crack as the will of the world groaned in pain.

When Feitian had first sealed its body and turned its flesh and blood into the sea that covered up the world, it was far weaker than before. After millennia, by the time it unsealed its body, its strength had grown by orders of magnitude.

"Today will be the day of your death!"

Feitian glared at Zhang Lie, triggering an even stronger version of heaven\'s might. A storm seemed to strike at Zhang Lie.

Scarlet genetic energy surrounded Zhang Lie like flames and steam. Zhang Lie announced, "You might have grown stronger, but that doesn\'t mean that you\'re stronger than I am!"

"Hah!" Feitian ignored Zhang Lie\'s words. How could a pitiful mortal like Zhang Lie hope to best its strength? It would crush him underfoot with the absolute disparity that lay between them.

"[Ninesoul Dragonblade—Third Form: Separating Earth and Sky]!" White light split the sea and the sky, cutting apart the horizon. The skies split; the black- and white-colored energy that went into the slash erupted like a volcano. White energy drifted toward the skies, and black energy caused the sea to quake.

As the two shades of energy combined, everything in sight was destroyed. A patch of void and chaos expanded where the horizon had been.

Zhang Lie\'s sword strike split heaven and earth, the power of heaven\'s might, and even Feitian\'s massive eye. Its entire body was trembling; fresh blood seeped out of the two halves of its eyeball.

Zhang Lie\'s sword had cut apart the sea and sky—and even the metaphysical concept of karma. If it had just a bit more strength, Feitian would have lost its body as well. This was no laughing matter. Only after being the target of the attack did Feitian realize that the eye wound it had suffered would never heal.

Zhang Lie had cut apart natural law, flesh and blood, and even the spiritual link between its eyeball and the rest of its body.

Feitian thought back to what Zhang Lie had said. "You might have grown stronger, but that doesn\'t mean that you\'re stronger than I am!"

Zhang Lie, who had surpassed his limits again and again in the first three realms, had far exceeded Feitian\'s strength. "We\'ll end the fight with this final blow. [Ninesoul Dragonblade—Fourth Form: Warping Space and Time]!"

Zhang Lie\'s gaze landed on Feitian\'s body. His sword cut apart a manifestation of Feitian\'s body, one which already seemed to be sliced into fragments.

Feitian\'s soul, captured by Zhang Lie\'s disaster-grade soulshard, was likewise split into two with Zhang Lie\'s blow.

Feitian\'s eyes widened as its body began to crack. "Karma that presides over space and time...?"

As though it had revealed forbidden knowledge, the cracks on its body swiftly propagated. The next moment, as though Feitian were made of glass, its body shattered into thousands of fragments.

Potian was stupefied by the scene. It could hardly believe that its invincible father, who had honed its physical body for tens of thousands of years, succumbed to just one blow from Zhang Lie. ?If it hadn\'t seen Zhang Lie\'s blow from himself, Potian would never have believed that such a ludicrous event could ever happen.

Feitian\'s unsealed form was no weaker than even the king of the death spirits, and yet it was still unable to withstand a single blow from Zhang Lie.

Potian belatedly realized just what sort of monster Zhang Lie was.

While it was in a daze, Zhang Lie appeared behind Potian and kicked its head. "We meet again, prince."

Potian\'s eyes widened as it realized its fate. Now that Zhang Lie had killed its father, he certainly wouldn\'t let it go, either.

Potian began, "Hold on, wait! I can give you what you want: the strongest form of heaven\'s might among the entire xuluo population. I\'m the one who created the ascended form of heaven\'s might. You\'ve fought against the xuluo, so you know what this represents: it\'s a form of strength that someone on your level can\'t afford to give up!"

Potian begged for its life by advertising the overwhelming strength of heaven\'s might.

"Your strength is superior to anything the three thousand worlds can bring to bear. Only the king of the death spirits might be able to stand against you—but if you have the power of heaven\'s might, you\'ll be invincible!"

Potian knew very well that power over karma was on the same level as power over time and space. No fighter would be able to resist such temptation...
