(Second update)
Rumble!! The blue beam was astonishingly powerful. Amid a succession of thunderous blasts, it carved a spray over a hundred feet high across the water and shot toward Li Xiaoya. Astonishingly, the watery trail it left behind froze with a series of faint cracks into glittering ice spikes that radiated bitter cold, suspended above the sea in a dazzling display.
Li Xiaoya narrowed his eyes at the sight. Golden light blazed over his entire body. With a point of his finger, the towering pillar formed by the Shaking-Heaven Divine Fire Staff shot upward, continuing its flight into the sky. He pushed off with his feet, flashed into a streak of golden light, and soared upward, tracing a long arc through the air as he hurtled toward the Sea Flood Dragon.
Boom!!! The blue beam from the Sea Flood Dragon's mouth narrowly missed Li Xiaoya and struck the metal-sphere Sea Island that seemed to be made of Heavenly Starstone. A deafening explosion rang out, and the beam actually rebounded into the sky, shooting straight into the clouds.
Whoosh!!! The Shaking-Heaven Divine Fire Staff continued soaring upward, reaching a height of hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye. The Heavenly Feather Wings on Li Xiaoya's back beat furiously several times, carrying him above the Sea Flood Dragon in an instant. Only upon drawing close did he realize how much larger and more vicious the creature looked. The Sea Flood Dragon paid little heed to its missed attack. Instead, Blue Ice had seized the opportunity to land several blows, causing it some pain. It roared and shouted in human speech, "Damn human! You have an accomplice?" Blue light blazed over its entire body, and its attacks against Blue Ice suddenly grew more urgent, blue beams spraying from its mouth
