Undercurrents

Fire Nation, royal hall. The Ink Lord appeared, and with one finger, set the winds and clouds.

At the sight of the former, the Fire Lord's face darkened. "You came after all."

"After so many years apart, I had to come see an old friend," the Ink Lord said slowly.

"Do we have such a friendship?"

The Fire Lord shouted coldly. His hand clenched, and the Blazing Halberd drew in the power of the eight wildernesses. Vast fire essence roared madly, its shocking might making heaven and earth tremble.

Seeing this, the Ink Lord raised his right hand. Seven-colored radiance gathered, dazzling rosy light illuminating the void.

With a thunderous bang, the two powerhouses clashed for the first time. Boundless torrents of fury shook violently, while strange lights flourished throughout the entire imperial palace, redirecting the aftershocks of battle and scattering them between heaven and earth.

Seven Rainbows Bury the Sun

The immortal art reappeared. Rosy light filled the eye, a divine sun manifested, and its astonishing might engulfed the Fire Nation's lord before it.

Hah!

The Fire Lord roared in fury. Torrents of rage spun from all directions, a massive vortex coiling around him. Then he brought down his halberd, forcefully meeting the immortal art.

The two moves collided, shaking mountains and splitting the earth. The clash of two Transcendent Immortal True Realm experts sent endless aftershocks surging out from the royal hall.

Not far away, Ning Chen shielded Yin'er as he silently watched the battle, experiencing firsthand the capabilities of an expert at the second level of the Transcendent Immortal realm.

He had a great enemy whose strength did not fall below that of a Reality Realm Expert, and who could appear at any moment. Therefore, he had to understand more about how experts of this level fought.
