Chapter 1371: Energy Type: Lunar Master!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Azure Moon!
It really was Azure Moon!
Not even in his dreams had Xia Fei imagined that he would run into humanity’s strongest warrior in the Seven Star Steles!
Xia Fei had used everything to take down Mu Tianbai, draining him of energy and then using the Mystical Armaments of the Heavenly Demons to break Mu Tianbai’s mutant soulgem!
But what about Azure Moon!? Xia Fei was facing a peak Azure Moon, brimming with energy and completely unharmed!
!!
If Autumn Erudite of the Five Ancient Apexes was a god of the Annihilation Universe, Azure Moon was the undisputed King of Gods! He had stood at the apex of the universe for countless epochs! He had never once been defeated!
Xia Fei clenched his fists! Furball, Little Goldie, and Radix all acted like they were facing down a powerful foe!
Azure Moon had black triangular eyes. Even though they showed no emotion, they still radiated a harsh savagery.
Looking Xia Fei over, Azure Moon said coldly, “To say it bluntly, you really have only three kinds of strategies. The first is your speed. With your speed that has gone beyond the limits of speed, you put yourself in an undefeatable position from the very start. You defeat anyone you can defeat, and if you can’t win, you just run. It’s not like anyone can catch up to you.
“Because you possess this most heaven-defying speed that is incredibly difficult to achieve, you are particularly bold and also particularly annoying, like an unkillable fly. Ordinary warriors who run into you can only bemoan their misfortune.”
Azure Moon paused a moment before continuing. “Second, you have many hidden cards. Not that you really have an innumerable number of powerful weapons. Your Mystical Armaments are very powerful, but they are quite countable. It’s just that you understand how to keep them hidden so that they can catch your foes unaware.
“And your acting is also extremely good, always making others underestimate you, and anyone who ends up underestimating you ends up making a fatal mistake, all of your weapons coming out and blasting away at them. Someone not mentally prepared for this will naturally die.”
Xia Fei felt a chill run down his back. Xia Fei wasn’t the only person in the world who understood analysis, and Azure Moon was a master analyst!
He had completely seen through Xia Fei!
Azure Moon laughed coldly, and then he added something that made Xia Fei’s blood run cold!
“Third, you’re a rare energy-type expert. When the battle enters the close combat phase, where one’s life is on the line, energy becomes the deciding factor! And not only do you have speed and hidden cards, you have more energy than others! In this way, even if you didn’t have speed or those weapons, you would be able to beat the enemy in terms of energy!
“My old friend Mu Tianbai lost to you exactly in terms of energy. Mu Tianbai squeezed himself dry fighting all the way here, but you’ve managed to maintain an astonishing energy reserve, thus gaining the firm upper hand. No matter how many tricks Mu Tianbai had, he couldn’t use them without energy, so you were able to bully him around.”
Xia Fei said nothing. Azure Moon’s three points were right on the mark. Yes, Xia Fei had relied on those three things to get this far!
Right now, in front of the King of Gods, Xia Fei had already revealed all his hidden cards. He was no longer a mystery, no longer a grinning person of insignificance.
There were always people in the universe who looked down on others. Anyone who had looked down on Xia Fei was already dead, but Azure Moon had a very high opinion of Xia Fei and had analyzed him as such. He had peeled away at Xia Fei’s layers and analyzed how this lowly character had managed to defy the heavens!
The results were right in front of him! Azure Moon had completely seen through Xia Fei! He knew the secrets to Xia Fei’s survival!
Raising an eyebrow, Xia Fei said, “Since you know so much, then you should also know that I’ve never had a habit of conceding, nor do I know fear! Since you’re a god-like existence, then I’d like to try my hand at slaying a god of shamelessness like you!”
Unreasonable!
Xia Fei was as unreasonable as ever as he roared at Azure Moon.
Furball and Little Goldie assumed combat positions while Radix brought the Nirvana Fiend Blade in front of Xia Fei.
“Hmph!” Azure Moon scoffed. Staring at Xia Fei, he said, “The Fiend Race don’t care for rules, so they deserve death! Today, I’ll kill you! I will seize the Seven Star Steles! And then I will watch with my own eyes as your kin and friends all die! Pleasure! Nothing else in my life could make me feel more pleasure!”
Bang! Xia Fei exploded forward! He was waving around the Fiend King Scepter like a thunder god’s whip, creating graceful lines in the air as he lashed at Azure Moon!
At the same time, Xia Fei accumulated the power of the Law of Primal Chaos in his left fist!
Rumble! This battle began with a heaven-shaking boom!
Xia Fei and Azure Moon moved so quickly that nobody could see how exactly the first exchange had gone. All they could see was a dizzying number of afterimages mixing together.
When the two of them became visible again, the first round had ended. Xia Fei and Azure Moon stood opposite other. The Fiend King Scepter had bounced off while Xia Fei’s left fist was shaking while blood flowed from between his fingers.
Azure Moon was holding up a white moon in one hand, a smug smile on his face!
Azure Moon was still the same Azure Moon, but in his hands was a pure vessel of energy made of spirit power!
Like a moon suspended in the sky, it had a diameter of more than a hundred meters!
The Fiend King Scepter had bounced off that bright moon, and Xia Fei’s fist was injured because it had struck the moon!
There was nothing strange about that. When there was a terrifying amount of spirit compressed into a dense mass, it would become extremely tough!
No armor or weapon could compare to that high-purity mass of energy. It was no wonder Azure Moon didn’t even wear armor. His unfathomable amount of energy meant he didn’t need armor!
It was no wonder Azure Moon didn’t use weapons, because his energy was superior to all weapons!
Smiling, Azure Moon said in a deep voice, “I forgot to tell you, I’m also an energy type!”
*Zing!* Xia Fei paled!
As it was often said, energy was the foundation of everything for a warrior, the origin of all combat techniques. Having energy meant having limitless combat power!
Azure Moon belonged to the most fundamental type of warrior, the energy type, but his energy surpassed the comprehension of everyone else! Even Xia Fei, who was an expert in controlling energy, couldn’t compare to him!
“Your Fiend King Scepter is pretty good. It seems to have twenty million units of energy. Alas, this isn’t even worth considering, for I, Azure Moon, possess a hundred million units of energy!” Azure Moon laughed arrogantly, completely looking down on Xia Fei!
Xia Fei was stunned. A hundred million standard units of energy!?
Xia Fei was already an expert among experts when it came to energy control, and he only had twenty million units of spirit energy. Then what was Azure Moon? A god of energy!?
With this crazy amount of energy, Xia Fei had crushed countless foes, but now, he had found an adversary!
This wasn’t just Xia Fei versus Azure Moon. It was energy type versus energy type!
For the first time in history, all of Xia Fei’s hidden cards had been seen through!
For the first time in history, Xia Fei’s energy reserve was utterly inferior!
Twenty million versus one hundred million! A full five times the difference! An absolute gap!
Swallowing, Xia Fei furrowed his brow. “I really didn’t think that you would be this powerful of an energy user!”
Azure Moon laughed and pointed at Xia Fei. “You relied on your energy to crush others, so I’m sure you’re well aware of how powerful energy is. You still have time to beg. I can give you a more comfortable death, not like those people outside, who will be flayed alive by the dragons and then be turned into soulless puppets.”
Xia Fei wiped his mouth and said grimly, “The people outside are my family and friends. For them, I can’t lose this battle!”
Azure Moon was annoyed, and his eyes flashed with ruthlessness. “Of course you won’t lose! All you will do is die!
“Moonshatter!”
Azure Moon flicked his wrist, and the brilliant moon came apart with a thunderous boom, exploding into countless crescent blades!
“Lunar Gravity!” Azure Moon bellowed. He turned half of the moon in his hand into flying blades, leaving only the lower half of the moon, but this half-moon of energy was able to emit a powerful gravity!
Xia Fei instantly felt a powerful pull, and he began to slow down! He could no longer dodge!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In a series of heartbreaking explosions, Xia Fei, Furball, Little Goldie, and Radix were all sent flying.
“Waning Moon!”
The countless little moons formed into a half-moon that hurtled toward Xia Fei!
*Rumble!*
Xia Fei’s body plummeted like a comet! He smashed into the ground and then bounced high into the air! Smashed into the ground! Bounced high into the air!”
“You want to fight me!? You’re not qualified! I am Azure Moon! The energy-type Lunar Master!” Azure Moon laughed, looking at the ping-ponging Xia Fei with ridicule and scorn.
Xia Fei had a fierce personality! No matter how strong the enemy was, he would rush up and try to bite them!
This was the first time ever that Xia Fei and his pack of fiends were being suppressed from the very first second of the battle! They were at a complete disadvantage!
His body trembling, Xia Fei struggled to his feet like a wounded beast, straightening his body.
As he raised his head, two streams of blood flowed from the corners of his lips!
…
Outside the Seven Star Steles, the last base of the Evil Shadow Dragoons.
The battle was far more bitter than could be imagined, the innumerable forces of the Infernal Legion locked in battle with the Dragoons!
People were dying every second, blood flowing like rivers! Rivers flowing into seas!
Almost every warrior had injuries, but no one complained, and no one retreated!
The flashing black star on the distant Seven Star Steles inspired all of them!
“No retreat is allowed! Xia Fei has already reached the last level of the Seven Star Steles! We have to support him! To wait until he returns victorious!”
“No retreat!”
“No retreat!”
“No retreat!”
The Dragoons left out deafening roars as they threw themselves into the fray. If they were injured, they roughly bandaged their wounds before going back in! If they were injured again, they forsook even bandaging their wounds and chose to fight to the death!
The cruelty of this war was unimaginable!
One of Xia Fei’s good friends, one of the custodian slaves, had his left arm torn off, but he continued to fight, dragging the remnants of the arm around, not even grunting!
Xia Guanghai had taken a thrust to the ribs, but he had pulled out that saber and stabbed an enemy in the eye with it!
Gruesome and tragic scenes like this were playing out all over the battlefield!
What kept them fighting was none other than Xia Fei! No one believed that Xia Fei would lose!
But none of them knew how powerful and savage the foe he was fighting was!
