As soon as they arrived on the island, Dizang protested, "You said you comprehended a divine ability from a boxing art, and that makes it real? I don't believe it. Show me."
Bo Huang said, "Would this Crown Prince lie to you?" As he spoke, he assumed a stance and said, "Watch carefully. True Meaning of Tai Chi: yin and yang succeed one another; embrace yang with yin, transform yin with yang." Then he performed a soft, flowing set of Tai Chi.
Watching Bo Huang's martial arts, Laozi laughed heartily. "Good! This boxing art conceals the principles of yin and yang. It can absolutely be developed into a divine ability. Zhunti, what else does your West have to say?"
Zhunti said, "Nothing more. Dizang, go exchange pointers with Crown Prince Bo Huang."
Dizang nodded, a trace of coldness glinting in his eyes. A steady, imposing aura radiated from him. His great robe billowed as he raised both hands and gathered a powerful force.
Suddenly, he shouted, "Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon!" His voice thundered across the entire battlefield.
Tai Yi said, "Brother Zhunti, your disciple has quite the voice. He nearly startled this emperor. I hope he has some real skill."
Zhunti said, "He certainly will not disappoint the Eastern Emperor. Dizang is one of Mount Sumeru's strongest disciples."
As they spoke, a blue lightning dragon churned in Dizang's hands before lunging at Bo Huang in an instant like a bolt of lightning.
Bo Huang smiled faintly, a hint of disdain in his eyes. A mysterious aura emanated from him, like starlight in the night. With a gentle wave of his hand, warm sunlight shone down, its comforting radiance enveloping him.
Then he chanted, "A touch of warm sunlight arrives first, then blazing flames burn the heavens," and brought forth the Golden Crow Li Fire Sword. Solar True Fire blazed fiercely across the blade, its golden flames incomparably scorching. His sword danced like the wind as he thrust at Dizang.
Sword and dragon collided, instantly erupting with a powerful surge of energy. Flames and lightning intertwined, forming a dazzling spectacle. The entire battlefield was shrouded in that turbulent force.
Their figures crossed in an instant, their movements swift as lightning. Sword and dragon tangled together, sending sparks and arcs of electricity flying. Their silhouettes darted across the battlefield like phantoms as they began a breathtaking contest.
Bo Huang's movement technique was exceptionally nimble, like a butterfly dancing through the air. His swordsmanship was peerless, every strike carrying boundless might. Dizang, meanwhile, relied on his tremendous strength and unyielding will to contend with Bo Huang without retreating.
As the battle continued, a faint glow gradually surfaced around both of them, and their auras grew ever stronger. Their gazes met as though they could see through each other's hearts. This was a true clash of peaks, and neither intended to yield.
Time slipped quietly away amid their battle. The wind and shouts across the battlefield gradually faded into the distance, leaving only their fight. Their movements became faster and faster, and every clash sent ripples of energy outward.
The entire battlefield fell silent, save for the sound of sword and dragon colliding in the air. Their figures flickered between sword and dragon like ghosts, everything seemingly under their control.
At last, a muffled boom rang out. Dizang staggered several steps backward, while Bo Huang remained standing as steady as Mount Tai. A trace of gravity appeared on Dizang's face. He had not expected Bo Huang to be so powerful.
"So there is such a powerful divine ability..." Dizang muttered softly as he began readjusting himself, preparing for the next wave of attacks.
Bo Huang's smile became even more confident, his eyes shining with the certainty of victory. He knew that this battle was nearing its end and that victory would soon be his.
Seeing Dizang fall into a disadvantage, Bo Huang laughed loudly. "It seems the techniques of the Western side paths are rather weak..." As he provoked Dizang with his words, he secretly activated the Golden Crow Li Fire Sword.
Dizang felt the blood within him boil, his entire body filling with power. He threw back his head and roared, the deep sound waves turning into rolling tides that swept in every direction.
Immediately afterward, he stepped through the void, his speed rising to the utmost limit as he charged at Bo Huang with extreme velocity.
At the same time, a long dragon emitting yellow Buddhist light appeared around Dizang. The Huang Long upon him also let out an earthshaking roar and lunged at Bo Huang with bared fangs and claws. Its massive dragon claws tore through the void, whipping up a violent gale as though they would rip apart everything standing in their way.
Bo Huang wore a confident smile. With a light flick of his finger, the Golden Crow Li Fire Sword immediately let out a long cry, and a vast blaze erupted from its blade.
This blaze was terrifying. The moment it appeared, it dyed half the immortal island crimson, like a sea of fire. Then the flames spread rapidly, surrounding Bo Huang in the blink of an eye and becoming a towering inferno.
The sea of fire surged and churned, while violent explosions thundered across the battlefield.
Wrapped in flames, Dizang struggled helplessly. Seeing his disciple in danger, Zhunti hurriedly intervened to save him. Unexpectedly, Bo Huang had hidden a trace of his primordial spirit within the flames. As a result, Zhunti's intervention injured Bo Huang's primordial spirit, giving the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, and Tai Yi a reason to act.
