Chapter 1170: Growing Stronger
The Star Devourer retaliated, sending flames spreading out like a hurricane.
"[Heaven\'s Judgment]!" The combination of wind and lightning generated a frightening force that made his spear look like an electric saw, so fearsome it could even penetrate space.
The wind and storm penetrated through the flames, cutting into the hurricane as a third wheel of time formed to Fang Yi\'s back.
The flames that were poised to scour the world transformed into huge palms that swatted at Fang Yi. Supported by the three wheels of time, Fang Yi tore the palms apart with wind and storm.
"[Heaven\'s Judgment]! [Tiger\'s Howl, Dragon\'s Bellow]!"
A dragon\'s roar resounded through the air like peals of thunder. Wind and storm combined and crackled at the tip of Fang Yi\'s spear.
Fang Yi leveled his spear. Wind and lightning surged forth. Even the Star Devourer\'s flames were sucked into his attack, causing the spear to turn bright red with heat. As the spear pierced through the flames, a fourth wheel of time spawned.
After having lost its bulk, the Star Devourer grew even faster. It quickly pulled out of range of Fang Yi\'s attack.
"[Floating Clouds]!" The wind and lightning formed a loop around Fang Yi\'s body.
Fang Yi howled loudly as wind and storm emerged from the loop, sending Fang Yi careening forward. With four wheels of time to his back, Fang Yi was barely able to control his speed.
He didn\'t manage to pierce through the two burning petals, but instead only brushed past them. His staggering speed scraped away half the flames.
The Star Devourer condensed its own flames, the tremendous heat gathering around its two burning petals.
The Star Devourer had never seriously cultivated in its life. It had only devoured without end, growing stronger as it consumed more and more worlds. It had never considered the source of its power, or how to control its strength—it fought solely with innate instincts.
For one, it had never encountered a strong opponent that it wanted to defeat. The king of chaos was too strong. He had caught the Star Devourer as easily as though it were a chick, and it couldn\'t view the king of chaos as an enemy. Furthermore, the king of chaos had ended up feeding the Star Devourer like a pet.
The Star Devourer had never thought of battle or of growing stronger.
Against Zhang Lie, however, with an equally skilled opponent who strove for victory, the Star Devourer developed a new desire—to become strong, to triumph, the first desire it had harbored in its life.
The Star Devourer finally began to harness its strength, recalling the king of chaos\' advice: the day it was able to rein in its heat, its offensive abilities would go up another notch. Although doing so would be tedious and tiring for the Star Devourer, even revolting, it was willing to go through that much trouble to defeat Fang Yi.
As it condensed its flames, they turned from scarlet to radiant white. Despite the fact that the Star Devourer had grown even smaller, the temperature of its flames reached an incredible height. The flames gave off so much heat that even the eighteenth layer of space was unable to bear the energy, and space around the flame began to distort.
If the Star Devourer were to remain where it stood, it would eventually burn through the very space itself.
The king of chaos nodded approvingly.
"[Stormwind Kick]!" Fang Yi kicked off the ceiling of the hall, wind and storm swirling around his legs. He kicked himself off the ceiling, and his [Floating Clouds: Loop of Storms] again sent him dashing forward.
The Star Devourer sprayed out a torrent of white flame, which burned the air.
Fang Yi swerved. The moment his spear came in contact with the flame, the heat struck him like a physical force.
"[Born of Lightning, Swallowed by the Wind]!" As Fang Yi shouted, his spear traced a half-moon in the air, surrounded by an aura of time. Light and shadow flashed by its tip, just like the wind and lightning that made up the core of Fang Yi\'s techniques. The attack consisted of two different types of energy, one to speed up time, and the other to accelerate decay.
.
The two disparate sources of energy revolved around the spear, spawning a black hole in the area and turning the surroundings gray. Everything was frozen in time for a moment—the blowing wind, the scintillating lightning, the scorching flame. The only color in the space came from Fang Yi and his crackling spear.
Of course, neither Zhang Lie nor the king of chaos were affected by the stopped time, either.
Fang Yi thrust back with his spear once again, but this time, the situation was completely different.
The Star Devourer had grown used to the temporal stasis, and it was able to react quickly. Flames erupted in the world of gray, so suddenly that Fang Yi was unable to dodge. Submerged in the flame, Fang Yi\'s skin burned in an instant. A fifth wheel of time appeared to his back, and Fang Yi shattered them all.
"[Wheel of Time: Break]!" As Fang Yi roared, the wheels of time to his back splintered, and his body began to glow more and more brightly. Next to Fang Yi, a shadow of himself suddenly appeared, one which suddenly merged with Fang Yi\'s body and gave him a tremendous boost to his strength. The wind and lightning circling the spear doubled in intensity.
As the next wheel of time broke, even more light flared from Fang Yi\'s back. A second shadow appeared, merged with Fang Yi, and boosted his strength, followed by a third, a fourth, a fifth...
As more and more wheels of time behind Fang Yi broke, more ephemeral shadows appeared and boosted his strength to an extreme. Wind and storm circled him five times over.
A dragon\'s roar resounded through the air like peals of thunder, scattering the solar storm. A wind dragon and a storm tiger appeared. Wind and storm combined and crackled at the tip of Fang Yi\'s spear.
