The back of Li Yang"s robe started to bulge slightly as the wings he grew when he activated his bloodline started to extend, but a quick thought from Li Yang prevented the wings from fully growing. There was no need for the wings right now, there was even a chance that they would be used against him if the opponent was smart enough to figure out how.Li Yang bent his knees and crouched slightly, the sound of thunder rumbling out from within his body as he injected lightning into all of his cells and gathered his power. Fang Ying and Zhao Feng each took a step to the side, finishing the movement just as Li Yang kicked off the ground and shot forward, leaving a trail of fire and lightning in his wake as he vanished from their vision.
The fire wasn"t created by Li Yang, it was a natural reaction that occurred when the searing lightning came into contact with the air that had been drained of even the smallest trace of moisture. Li Yang arrived in front of the white and somewhat slimy humanoid figure nearly instantly, stomping down on the ground in front of it with his left leg and giving his body a slight twist to push out his left shoulder.
The humanoid figure quickly retaliated by lashing out with both arms, one of them smashing downward towards Li Yang"s head while the other one swept sideways towards his chest. Li Yang"s right arm raised as fast as lightning and delivered an uppercut to the tentacle-like arm coming for his chest, a powerful blast of fire mixing together with the force of the punch and knocking the tentacle upward.
To dodge the arm coming for his head, Li Yang simply gave the ground a light kick with his right foot, hopping forward and arriving directly within the bosom of the enemy. His shoulder crashed into the humanoid"s chest and unleashed all the force that Li Yang had gathered in it, a burst of flames sending the humanoid flying while a bolt of lightning pierced directly through its chest.
Li Yang"s brows furrowed slightly as he kicked off the ground and shot forward to follow the humanoid. He had mixed in a bit of ice into that attack as well, it should have burst outward from within the humanoid after following the lightning that pierced through its chest. But the ice dissipated before it even got the chance to bloom, flowing away and heading directly for the distant Xiang Hong. From the looks of it, using his ice element right now was out of the question.

Li Yang heard the sounds of battle break out behind him as he chased after the humanoid figure, but right now he couldn"t afford to lose his focus so he ignored the sounds. The humanoid figure stretched out its arms and legs as it flew backward, the limbs stretched out like rubber as their ends turned sharp and pierced directly toward Li Yang.
Li Yang"s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the tentacles coming for him, he could sense that the Qi in the area was refusing to get close to the tentacles, rejecting their existence. This meant that it would be harder for the humanoid figure to absorb Qi, but it also meant that Li Yang would have to expend a bit more energy to force his Qi to ignore the rejection so that he could use it to harm the humanoid figure. He also had to keep in mind that the humanoid figure would likely adapt to his elements if he let it absorb too much of them, so he had to be careful in how many attacks he launched. He almost felt like cursing the Void Born for being such an annoying race to deal with as enemies.
Lightning flickered past Li Yang"s pupils, several bolts stretching out from behind his body and going all around the humanoid shape like a tight web. Li Yang raised his leg and set foot on one of the lightning bolts, his body whizzing forward as he rode on the bolt of lightning, rapidly getting closer to the humanoid shape. The enemy twisted his limbs to change their direction, but Li Yang simply stepped onto a different bolt of lightning when the attacks were about to hit him.
Li Yang jumped from bolt to bolt, dodging the attacks every time they got close to him and rapidly approaching the humanoid shape, which finally managed to stop itself from flying further back by having multiple tentacles extend from its back and dig into the ground. Once the enemy stopped himself, it flexed its body and unleashed hundreds of tentacles that shot toward Li Yang, filling up his entire vision and giving him no room to escape.
Li Yang"s eyes narrowed further as he quickly decided on his next course of action, jumping down from the bolt of lightning he was currently riding. He landed on the ground a few steps away from the humanoid shape, the earth cracking as the veins on Li Yang"s leg started to bulge and twist.
He held out his right arm, the air rapidly heating up as an orb of roaring flames appeared in his hand. The orb rapidly pulsated as more and more power was gathered into it, all the energy condensing at the very center of it and causing even the surrounding s.p.a.ce to ripple slightly. Li Yang clenched his fist around the orb and sent a punch toward all the incoming tentacles, the orb of flames unleashing all its gathered might as the tentacles and the fist were only a few centimeters away from each other.
A crimson sun appeared around Li Yang"s fist, the rapid and forceful expansion of the flames creating a scorching shockwave that pushed away most of the tentacles while the flames burned most of those that weren"t pushed away. The few tentacles that made it through the blast stabbed into Li Yang, but their force had been weakened so much that they weren"t able to pierce through his body.
Li Yang didn"t want the tentacles to stay in his body for too long, as he could already feel them drain his Qi and lifeforce, so he quickly stepped forward and once again entered the bosom of the enemy. He pulled back his right arm and punched out with his left, delivering a powerful upwards angled punch to the abdomen of the humanoid.
The enemy was knocked off his feet and flew into the air, the tentacles stabbed into Li Yang"s body forcibly yanked out as the humanoid figure flew higher and higher. Li Yang raised his head to gaze at the enemy, his pupils flashing with a black light that affected the bolts of lightning that still lingered in the area. The lightning twisted slightly, black veins appearing in each of the bolts as they turned skyward and shot past the enemy.
They turned around after pa.s.sing him and then shot downwards all at once, every single one of them crashing into the back of the airborne enemy. The black veins in the lightning poured into the enemy, the law of destruction pooling in his body and forming several miniature black holes as the humanoid body was sent smashing into the earth.
The enemy"s body started to twist and distort as the miniature black holes started to tear away at it, chunks of his body vanishing as they were churned into nothingness and sucked up by the black holes. The force of the lightning bolts hadn"t fully dissipated yet, the body of the humanoid figure being pushed deeper into the earth as it was being twisted apart.
Li Yang let out a breath and undid his bloodline when his last attack hit, a sense of weakness enveloping his body. Controlling the law of destruction was hard, especially when he split it up into several smaller parts to create multiple black holes as he had done just now. But the end result was definitely worth it, he did just kill an enemy at the late stage of the Immortal Rebirth realm rather quickly after all.
Li Yang turned his head and saw that while Tian Zheng and Fang Ying were still dealing with their enemies, as were the Fang twins, Zhao Feng had already killed his enemy and was observing the other battles going on, looking for a chance to enter one of them. His eight silver daggers were floating in the air behind him, moving in small rhythmic movements that resembled dancing. It wasn"t hard for Li Yang to guess that these daggers played a rather large part in Zhao Feng"s quick victory.
Li Yang turned his head slightly to observe the battle taking place high in the sky, but the earth started trembling fiercely just as he did so. For a second he thought that the battle in the sky might be the reason behind the trembling, but his heart sunk a little when he saw that even Xiang Hong and Mao Tengzou were surprised at the sudden shaking.
Cracks started to spread all across the earth, stretching out as far as the eye could see, but a quick check allowed Li Yang to see that the very center of all these cracks were the still twisting remains of the humanoid shape that he had killed just recently. A gray mist started to seep out of the cracks, slowly rising into the air and greedily sucking in even the smallest trace of energy in the surroundings, eating it far faster than any of Mao Tengzou"s tentacles had.
Li Yang"s heart sunk even further when he saw Xiang Hong"s expression turn grim and Mao Tengzou"s expression turn ecstatic. He didn"t know what was beneath those cracks, what was going to come out after the gray mist, but he got the feeling that doom had just arrived for all of them.
