Streaks of black light flashed across Bai Ye's body. With each flash, his movements slowed a little more.
And Fang Xubai wasn't finished. He began strengthening himself.
"Grant me a body like divine iron, boundless divine power, immunity to all arts, speed that transcends space and time, wounds that heal in an instant, and an immortal, indestructible form..."
Streaks of black light flashed across Fang Xubai's body. With each flash, his aura grew stronger.
The spectators below changed expression at once.
An Xiaotong was frantic. She activated her Golden Eyes, ready to intervene at any moment.
Li Xiao's face was full of anger. "Hmph! What a dirty trick!"
He kept channeling divine power into his Shadow Eye to maintain his Calamity Heaven God form.
Little Tangerine, who had just come out of the Divine Kingdom and had no idea what was happening, clenched her little fists. Her face flushed as she shouted with all her might, "You can do it, big brother!"
"Tch." A disdainful voice rang out from the sky.
"Ten years, and you're still using the same old tricks."
Wrapped in layers of binding rules and countless negative concepts, Bai Ye curled his lips into a mocking smile and spoke.
"Nightflow Flame!"
The black runes deep within his scarlet eyes suddenly became patterns of flame. Inextinguishable black fire streamed from the corners of his eyes and swept over his entire body.
The curses and conceptual shackles imposed on him melted away inch by inch beneath the black fire!
The Calamity Eye destroyed more than physical things. It could destroy concepts, too!
Fang Xubai narrowed his eyes. "The same goes for you."
Bai Ye's smile widened. "Then I'll show you something different."
Time Projection—Manifest!
He closed his hand around empty air and slowly drew out a black Skull Card.
