"Rebellious son, this is Emperor Hong's supreme Divine Ability, the Killer Steel that made him famous throughout antiquity. The Ten Directions Hong Mirror Dao reflects every Divine Ability, every martial art, every fist intent, every attack, whether tangible or intangible. Any Divine Ability you use against me will be futile."
Hong Xuanji raised the shield of light, his voice cold and his aura burning ever fiercer as he prepared to strike back.
Hong Yi paid no heed to his tone.
"Even Hong would be destroyed before me. How could the path of Shattering the Void compare to the great path of the Yang Spirit? Hong Xuanji, I'll show you what a true Yang Spirit is. Bridge of the Other Shore! The Hundred Schools as one! Strip the Holy Emperor of his titles!"
Hong Yi's soul emerged amid the assault. It was now a true Yang Spirit, an immaculate body of pure yang power, boundless in strength and capable of annihilating all things.
The moment it appeared, the Yang Spirit shone like a blazing sun overhead. Time itself revolved around it, and Taiji and the Eight Trigrams took visible form.
Everywhere flowed an aura like years turned to molten gold.
Boom!
Hong Yi's Yang Spirit became a Bridge of the Other Shore, identical to the one beneath the Eternal Emperor. It seemed to be that bridge's reflection.
Both ends of the bridge plunged into endless space. Arching beyond the limits of time and space, it descended upon Hong Xuanji's head.
The Hundred Schools had stripped the Holy Emperors of four titles—Truth, Wisdom, Courage, and Benevolence—and returned those virtues to the people.
"Hong Xuanji, I'll strip you of these things now. The bones of Holy Emperor Hong will dissolve into nothing and rest in peace forever."
