On the martial arena.
After Kuhai's battle with Jiang Ning, the entire martial arena had been reduced to ruins. It was a scene of devastation; the towering surrounding walls had nearly all collapsed, rubble scattered across the ground.
At this moment, in the center of the martial arena.

The Master of Clear Void Monastery and Jiang Ning stood ten zhang apart.
As the two settled into place, the atmosphere grew grave.

Above the martial arena, the originally clear sky abruptly changed.
The heavens to the left were dyed a deep, shadowy hue. Lunar yin energy descended from the void like a tide, gathering into a hazy sea of moonlight.
The heavens to the right blazed with golden radiance. Solar yang energy poured down from the nine heavens like raging flames, turning into a curtain of searing golden light.
Drawn by the Master of Clear Void Monastery's whisk, the two primal powers gathered above his head like a hundred rivers returning to the sea!

The entire royal capital could see this sight.
Elsewhere.
