The previous method had only targeted a Thunder Sea of a single attribute. Now that a dual metal-earth Thunder Sea had appeared, its power was more than merely doubled. Xu Changqing knew he could not continue countering it this way. With a thought, the red and green banners above his head lit up at once.
The red banner governed Lie, releasing raging flames to "use fire to overcome metal" and burn away all the razor-sharp force of the metal Turbid Lightning.
The green banner governed stillness, drawing upon Wood Qi to "use wood to overcome earth" and dissolve the ponderous force of the earth Turbid Lightning layer by layer.
The Spirit Rhinoceros Belt switched to its fire and Wood Spirit Pearls. Crimson spiritual light protected his Wood Spirit Root, while pale green spiritual light protected his Water Spirit Root. The two layers of light intertwined into a sturdy defense.
Next, the fire wall and wood wall of the Five-Element Thunder-Defense Formation rose simultaneously.
Flames churned across the fire wall, melting the sharp force of the golden Thunder Sea into nothingness. The scattered metal lightning streaks struck the wall and instantly turned into sparks that vanished.
