Above, rumbling dark-cloud vortices churned. As elemental power gradually faded, raindrops began to fall, soon changing from a sparse drizzle into a torrential downpour.
Su Xiao and the Supreme Being stood a hundred meters apart. Neither attacked first. Instead, their auras locked firmly onto each other. The slightest opening would bring absolute defeat and ruin.
Two afterimages shot out, and weapons crashed together. It was Su Xiao and the Supreme Being, their bodies expanded to several hundred meters—or rather, their powerful soul bodies—with two soul blades locked against each other.
