Chapter 1582: Internal Strength
Chapter 1582: Internal Strength
Golden starlight surrounded Zhang Hanxiang, leaving her body immersed in a cloud of stars. She blossomed like a beautiful flower.
The concentrated vitality imbued in the cloud of stars was causing Zhang Hanxiang to undergo a metamorphosis.
Her bones turned to powder.
Her genes and cells mutated at a fundamental level, elevated by the flower of universal life.
Zhang Hanxiang's vitality transformed at its very core. Frost emanated from her; she turned into a sculpture of ice. The golden starlight turned pale white; the stars cooled and became clouds of frost. The entire room froze over.
The members of Team Zenith jumped up in surprise. "What's going on?"
Sun Mengmeng waved a hand, sealing the room in purple flames and preventing the frost from leaking out.
Zhang Hanxiang groaned. Even her skull began to fragment, crack, and turn to powder.
With her bones shattered, the blood seeped even more quickly out of her skin, impurities leaving with it.
The moment the blood and impurities appeared on her skin, they froze over and fell off in chips.
As her body shone with even more intense light, blood sprayed out. Her body was simultaneously in a dramatically weakened state and burning with energy.
The clouds of frost and vitality transmuted into one another as the potency of the flower of universal life competed with Zhang Hanxiang's unique constitution.
They didn't clash; rather, the flower of universal life was activating and synergizing with Zhang Hanxiang's unique constitution. The frost that seeped out from her body was sufficient to freeze the entire room. The members of Team Zenith were taken aback; they had to focus to deal with the situation.
Yang Ze asked, "Captain, what's with this frost? Did something happen to Hanxiang?"
Zhang Lie shook his head. "Her vitality is rapidly improving. Nothing's wrong."
Yang Ze frowned. "Captain, do you know something you're not telling us?"
Zhang Lie hesitated. "Hanxiang's constitution is rather unique."
"Rather unique?!"
If not for all the hunters of Team Zenith doing their best to suppress it, the entire city would have been frozen by the frost that leaked out of her—Earth might even have undergone another ice age. Was this solely at the level of 'rather unique'?!
Zhang Lie asked, "You're all aware of spirit avatars, aren't you?"
Zhou Ying asked, "Does Hanxiang possess a unique constitution like me?"
"It's a bit more advanced than yours. You possess a divine avatar, and hers is deific."
Zhou Ying gaped. "Why haven't we seen any sign of her special abilities, then? She does have an affinity to ice, but if it's only to that extent..."
"Actually, my sister's constitution has been sealed by special means. I only learned of it recently, which is why no one was able to notice anything until now."
"It's possible to seal a constitution?" Zhou Ying exclaimed.
"Allegedly, the person who performs the sealing will have to pay a price."
Yang Ze cocked his head. "But why seal her unique constitution? Shouldn't it allow her to grow even stronger?
Zhou Ying was able to display incredible strength with the use of her Avatar of the Fae; her techniques were on a different level entirely.
Yang Ze continued, "With a constitution a level more advanced than even Zhou Ying's, I'm sure Hanxiang could be stronger than we are if she leverages her constitution properly."
The frost seeping out from her transformation alone required all the hunters to seal. If Zhang Hanxiang were to manifest her avatar in full, she might well be able to best the hunters of Team Zenith.
Zhang Lie sighed. "If she could, then I wouldn't have to worry."
"Is there something wrong with her avatar?" Zhou Ying asked.
"It's so strong that she can't control it—it's a blessing that has become a curse."
Zhou Ying frowned. "In that case, she can't control its strength?"
Zhang Lie shrugged. "We don't know just how strong it is. Even her body can't seem to handle it..."
The flower of universal life gave its essence to Zhang Hanxiang's body, causing her to grow more and more resilient. Her body was forged anew from the essence of the flower. The heavens rumbled as Zhang Hanxiang underwent her metamorphosis. The shattered bones in her body were reforming in jeweled splendor.
Even with Zhang Lie and the members of Team Zenith suppressing all external manifestations, a beam of starlight managed to make its way out. A rain of light fell over the Zenith Dojo.
The cloud of stars that shrouded Zhang Hanxiang transitioned between scorching-hot flame and bitter-cold frost. The stars were imbued with incredible vitality, just like the bloom of nature that could revitalize a world after an apocalyptic event. The frost gave off silvery-white radiance that seemed poised to turn the world into one of ice and frost.
The flower of universal life contained enough energy to change the world at a foundational level, the realm of deities.
Frost spread and pulsed. A specter of eternal ice appeared behind Zhang Hanxiang, as though an ancient god had been revived. The clouds of frost in the air burst apart in a supernova.
The hunters were starting to lose control over Zhang Hanxiang's frost. It seeped out, and the ground was frozen solid. Zhang Lie frowned and shouted, "Quick, inform everyone in the Zenith Dojo to evacuate. No, inform the whole city!"
Yang Ze's body rippled. He vanished using spatial force.
Zhang Lie chuckled wryly to himself. "It looks like I've underestimated the strength of a deific avatar."
Not only did the flower of universal life cause Zhang Hanxiang's status of life to evolve, it would also enhance her deific avatar.
The deific avatar was growing alongside her.
Thanks to her increase in strength, the deific avatar was able to access more of its latent power.
Zhang Hanxiang's body and the seal that had been placed on her had greatly restricted the strength of her deific avatar. Now, however, those restrictions were being loosened.
Sun Mengmeng gritted her teeth as she stubbornly continued to suppress the frost. "Where is this frightening strength coming from?!"
"Something that can be considered a deific avatar isn't strength that's ordinarily accessible to mortals."
Eventually, the hunters weren't able to suppress the manifestation any longer. A beam of starlight shot into the skies, transforming into countless stars that shone and sparkled brightly, overwhelming the sun. All of China could see the stars overhead, as well as meteors of frost that were falling to the ground.
They smashed into the city; only then did the civilians of Earth realize that those weren't stars or meteorites as well, but rather huge hailstones and chunks of ice.
What happened to the Zenith Dojo was even more incredible. The entire dojo had been sealed in ice, and frost seeped out of the ground. Every flower and bloom of frost sparkled with starlit radiance.
