The moment the cross-shaped slash cut through the air.
Mo Cheng sensed danger!
Boom!
Almost in the next instant, an explosion of flames filled his pupils, growing until it consumed his entire field of vision!
"Feel what real flames are like."

Black flames collided with the explosion!
Faint black patterns surfaced across Mo Cheng's skin.
Lu Cang watched it all.
As expected...
It was only when people faced the threat of death that their potential was awakened.

Stone pillars shot up all around him!
They sprouted in every direction like spikes, stabbing toward Mo Cheng!

A faint layer of wind formed around him like a cloak. As his hands swept through the air, whips of wind lashed out.
They smashed the stone pillars one by one!
Lu Cang stood completely still, yet Mo Cheng was under immense pressure. His hands moved as he racked his brain for a way to respond, while the magic power in them poured out without pause.
"Master! Is this the Transcendent Magic you told me about?"

They were also more than happy to demonstrate their magic for Mo Cheng, but... it was completely different.
Lu Cang's magic was too brutal.
"What?"
"Don't tell me this is all you've got?" Lu Cang
