Chapter 1403: Rumors of Heaven
Zhang Lie frowned. "Where did this figurine come from?"
Bu Wentian frowned as well. "It's likely an ancient reliquary, perhaps from the fabled kingdom of Heaven?"
"[Golden Divide]!"
The thousand clones all used [Golden Divide] simultaneously, coloring the sky in gold and raining down golden feathers in such numbers that it seemed as though a thunderstorm had just formed out of thin air.
Each feather was like a divine sword, shining with radiance and surrounded with golden light.
Golden aura billowed from the swords as the swords struck in an arc before them.
Sun Xiaowu spurred the swords forward with all his energy, sweeping through heaven and earth alike.
The divine figurine's body glowed thickly with interlaced runes. One of its hands suddenly magnified in size, transforming into a miniature world that was about to envelop the storm of swords.
"Enter the kingdom of Heaven."
The figurine's golden palm was massive. At the heart of its palm was a shining galaxy, as though a brand-new universe were being created amidst the void. The image was shocking.
"[Goldenscale Palm: Split]!"
Golden radiance struck the land. Sun Xiaowu's palms brimmed with golden light as a dense layer of golden scales covered his skin. His aura suddenly shifted, and his right arm glowed with resplendent light.
An aura of intense strength emanated from Sun Xiaowu's body.
Sun Xiaowu took a step forward, then punched with all his might, generating a dominating wave of genetic energy. His golden fist smashed apart the nascent world. The figurine huffed as light radiated from itself, its body suddenly seeming to become one of flesh and blood, crystalline all over. A thousand arms grew out of its body.
Bu Wentian nodded in praise. "As expected of such a relic. Although the kingdom of Heaven has long since been destroyed, its machinations are unparalleled. I wonder if your companion can handle them?"
"[Goldenscale Palm: Qilin]!"
Sun Xiaowu and all his clones leapt up into the air, performing exactly the same action. Golden light flashed from their arms and illuminated the sky. Tens of thousands of clones merged into Sun Xiaowu's main body, and the countless activated copies of the technique merged into one.
Golden scales covered up Sun Xiaowu's arm as it grew thicker and thicker, and the image of a golden qilin appeared behind him.
He rushed forward, golden scales appearing over his arm as he punched at his opponent.
The figurine's thousand hands blocked the golden qilin's advance.
Golden light erupted, instantly obliterating a hundred of the figurine's arms.
"[Adamantine Aegis: Martial God]!"
Sun Xiaowu's aura grew stronger and stronger. As the golden runes merged with his genetic energy, Sun Xiaowu transformed into a mecha over a hundred meters tall. The golden runes surrounded Sun Xiaowu, turning him into a burning sun.
Sun Xiaowu punched forward, leaving a deep injury in the figurine's body.
The figurine quaked. Its body glowed with light as its arms were reforged and its wounds closed. Even so, it had clearly lost the initiative.
"[Blinding Flash: Thousandfold Echo]!"
Sun Xiaowu split into a thousand clones, each of which summoned a golden mecha and caught the figurine's arms. The figurine struggled, radiating divine light of shocking intensity.
"[Golden Divide]!"
Sun Xiaowu and the mechas behind him struck simultaneously, forming a resplendent river of golden blades that cut down hundreds of the figurine's arms.
The gold-plated figurine glanced severely at its opponent. "I've underestimated you. All who have made it this far in the Cup are strong indeed, but this is the end for you. I acknowledge your strength; against you, I will use my clan relic."
The figurine's illusory arms vanished, leaving just one pair behind. It pulled out a blood ruler from its back, which shone with demonic light.
Suddenly, the figurine's aura changed. Its eyes and hair turned blood-red, so lurid it seemed as though blood would drip out at any moment. The demonic blood ruler shone like a crimson sun as the divine figure's holiness transformed into diabolism.
Its golden body turned ink-black as it radiated bloody light. The specters of ghosts and demons overlapped its body, which seemed to have turned into mud from the abyssal depths. Its face turned malevolent and sinister, a vile sight to behold.
Heaven and earth quivered as the figurine swung its ruler.
Sun Xiaowu turned serious as he dodged the blood-red glow. The blood ruler seemed like an exceptionally dangerous weapon.
"[Blinding Flash: Self-Destruct]!"
Sun Xiaowu's clones suddenly radiated with golden light so bright that the entire battlefield was illuminated, as though ten thousand suns had simultaneously appeared in the air. The next moment, they exploded in an explosion hundreds, thousands of times stronger than the [Golden Divides] had accomplished.
A frightening storm rose up, interspersed with golden blades.
Bloody aura burst from the figurine as it retreated. A demonic figure appeared behind the figurine, roaring as it shot toward Sun Xiaowu.
"[Goldenscale Palm: Qilin]!"
The golden mechas exploded with golden radiance. Their forms dissipated into motes of golden light, which shot toward Sun Xiaowu's own mecha and augmented it. It was as large as the falling sun. It bent its arms as golden energy shone from its body and illuminated the heavens. Tens of thousands of clones merged into Sun Xiaowu's main body, and the countless activated copies of the technique merged into one.
Golden scales covered up Sun Xiaowu's arm as it grew thicker and thicker, and the image of a golden qilin appeared behind him. In his mecha form, augmented by his thousand clones all stacked atop each other, the might of his golden qilin grew by at least fifty times, if not a hundred.
As Sun Xiaowu swung his fists forward, the golden qilin soared into the air.
The qilin's scales were radiant and shining with golden light, each like a miniature sun. It looked like a god descending from the heavens, its long whiskers floating in the void, surrounded by golden clouds, looking like a sculpture of gold.
In Sun Xiaowu's mecha form, the golden qilin he released grew to a staggering fifty thousand meters in height. The golden qilin radiated light, and was so large that it almost filled up the entire arena.
