Chapter 70: Caiyun’s Advancement
“Clear the way for an army!”
A cold voice rang from Caiyun, carrying sharp killing intent like a reaper calling restless souls.
Spiritual patterns gathered at her fingertips, forming two Blades of Light that sliced toward the two elders.
The spinning blades shredded the void, annihilating everything as they expanded a thousandfold in an instant.
A giant eagle tore through the sky while a massive frog devoured heaven and earth, their attacks stirring Yunyang City and stunning spectators.
Caiyun remained expressionless. Her Blades of Light pierced heaven and earth, shattered the void, and eclipsed the sun’s light, instantly destroying both beasts. The annihilating speed made Li Yuanlong pale.
The two elders screamed as their realms shattered, bodies crumbling to ash.
Silence fell. Even Ye Xiaoyun froze in fear. Two spinning Blades of Light coiled around Caiyun like serpents before returning to her fingertips, radiating brilliance.
“They’re on their way. Now it’s your turn.”
Caiyun gazed at Li Yuanlong with deathly indifference, walking toward him as lethal intent surged.
Li Yuanlong laughed wildly. “You think you can kill me?”
Caiyun sneered. “Killing you is as easy as killing a dog.”
She stepped forward. Flames erupted beneath her, forming towering fire pillars. Each pillar bore a fire dragon spewing skyward flames.
Eighty-one fire pillars pierced heaven and earth, glowing eternally as flames wove between them, forming fiery runes in their formation.
Li Yuanlong snarled, “Who are you?”
Caiyun replied coldly, “Dead men need no answers.”
Her steps made flames pulse rhythmically, drawing spiritual energy like tidal waves.
Li Yuanlong’s eyes swirled with vortex patterns as markings covered his body.
“In Blood Martial Second Level, I’m immune to blades and spears, unharmed by elements. My blood and flesh hold terrifying divine might. What can you do?”
His punch thundered, collapsing time and space.
Caiyun staggered but steadied herself, advancing steadily.
“Fall back!” Yun Xi shouted. A Blood Martial Realm expert’s strike could obliterate half Yunyang City—far beyond ordinary cultivators.
Caiyun rose skyward, blood-like flames swirling around her. The formation hummed beneath as eighty-one fire pillars bore roaring dragons that dimmed the sun by devouring its essence.
Li Yuanlong smirked, transforming his fist into a claw.
A claw hundreds of feet wide tore through the void, divine might radiating as it lunged at Caiyun.
Standing atop the formation, Caiyun unleashed all eighty-one fire dragons. They merged into one colossal dragon whose furious roar shattered the claw.
“Skillful,” Li Yuanlong scoffed. “But this power comes from the formation, not you.”
The crowd gasped. Caiyun could fight a Blood Martial Realm expert using formation mastery—a staggering feat.
“You wanted to witness my true strength? How could I disappoint?”
Caiyun’s aura sharpened like blades as she soared skyward without retreating, her mesmerizing figure standing atop eighty-one fire dragons while dominating the sky and overlooking all beings.
Li Yuanlong burned with anger at Caiyun’s arrogance. “Crimson Flame Soul-Sundering Strike!”
He swung his right hand, firing a crimson beam of terrifying divine might from his fingertips toward Caiyun.
The soul-rending strike caused the void to shatter upon appearing. Cold determination flashed in Caiyun’s eyes as she raised both palms overhead. Spiritual patterns formed a vortex in her hands, instantly connecting with the blazing sun above.
Crimson flames mixed with Sun God’s Fire descended as a colossal light beam, bathing Caiyun in solar radiance. Countless tongues of divine fire transformed into spiritual patterns that surged into her body, constructing an intricate Spiritual Array across her skin that voraciously devoured the flames, converting them into pure energy.
Spiritual patterns shimmered across Caiyun’s figure as a peerless Fire Crane materialized around her – its entire form blazing with divine flames. As the crane appeared, Caiyun’s aura skyrocketed, unleashing world-shaking dominance over Yunyang City that startled countless cultivators.
“You actually broke through to Blood Martial Realm during battle!” Li Yuanlong’s face turned ashen. “Such insolence!”
Caiyun sneered coldly. “Didn’t you want to see my capabilities?” The solar pillar above her thickened as she swung it like a divine hammer against the incoming attack.
A deafening bang erupted. When the intense light faded, Caiyun’s solar pillar remained intact while Li Yuanlong was blasted hundreds of feet backward, his hands bleeding.
The Fire Crane grew more distinct, five-colored flames wreathing its head as Caiyun’s power intensified. “Impossible!” roared Li Yuanlong, his body swelling to mountain-like size. “My Blood Martial Second Level cultivation surpasses your Blood Martial First Level!”
His massive figure blotted the sky as he launched a void-rending slash at Caiyun’s solar connection. Eighty-one fire dragons surged beneath her feet, coiling into a thousand-foot serpent that met his strike with solarfire breath.
The collision shook Yunyang City like an earthquake. Undeterred, Caiyun’s crane devoured the entire solar pillar, plunging the world into momentary darkness before renewed Sun God’s Fire cascaded down in radiant glory.
Though her physical body couldn’t match Li Yuanlong’s indestructible body, the black-and-white bow patterns in her flames repelled his attacks. “Time is running short,” Caiyun declared as she merged with the Fire Crane.
An ancient bow materialized in her left hand, its surface etched with mystical flame Patterns. She drew a solarfire arrow that pulsed with apocalyptic power.
“DOMINION’S CRUSH!” Li Yuanlong bellowed, a mountainous Black Bear spirit manifesting behind him.
The arrow tore through time and space, piercing past and present alike. When the light faded, only Caiyun remained beneath the restored sun, her Fire Crane’s triumphant cry echoing across the heavens.
