[A Three-Legged Golden Crow burst through the air, golden flames blazing across its body. Even the sea caught fire, turning the space between sky and water crimson and gold.]
[Ao Yang swung the executioner blade, cleaving through the Solar True Fire. A blood-red dragon soul surged from the blade, savage and ferocious.]
[Golden light flared again in your palm. The Hundred-Eyed Centipede dharma aspect appeared, all hundred eyes along its belly opening at once to shoot Golden Light Yellow Mist in every direction.]
[Ao Yang's form changed. His upper body became a hideous dragon's head, and a tail tore through his robes. Half man and half dragon, his eyes bloody red, he roared, "Break!"]
[A crimson tide surged down like an overturned river of heaven. Countless dragon souls shrieked within it, shaking the minds of every Sea Clan member on the water.]
["Sinful Dragon Break!"]
[Ao Xing hastily retreated. This was a killing move Ao Yang unleashed by burning dragon souls. It shattered all manner of dharma bodies and spared neither friend nor foe. Even a brush with it would gravely wound him.]
[Ao Yang had cultivated the Essence Blood Divine Treasury to profound depths. Not only could he break techniques with his essence blood, he grew stronger the longer he fought. The executioner blade devoured the souls and essence blood of those slain in the sea, feeding them back into his body until he was nearly inexhaustible.]
[Even cultivators who had survived the Second Nine Heavenly Tribulation would struggle to shake the divine armor forged from his essence blood and vital energy. It made Ao Yang nearly invincible, yet this was far from his full strength.]
[Golden light gathered in your palm once more, gradually taking the form of a giant coiled tortoise and spirit serpent—the Black Tortoise Transformation.]
