Above the Hun River.
Black wildfire swept across the sky like dragons and pythons, then exploded with a roar. A towering dharma body steeped in demonic nature breathed in and out, its gray shroud blotting out the heavens. Countless long hairs of black flame covered its body, making it resemble a humanoid fiendish beast.
Tie Sui brandished his long mace. The scents of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal spread and mingled, changing through the roles of sovereign, minister, assistant, and envoy. They rampaged forward and ignited all at once, blasting the azure wood dragon image aside.
Countless overlapping Azure Leaves had appeared overhead, screening out the light and resisting the fiery shroud. They pinned down Tie Sui's [Heaven-Tilting Heavenly Fire Blaze Dharma Body], while a drop of lush green radiance appeared in Guang Chan's hand atop the azure wood dragon's head.
A dazzling expanse of crimson light erupted in the distance. Myriad streams of light shot out, throwing the spiritual energy here into utter chaos.
"A spirit source."
Tie Sui felt a flicker of alarm. How little time had passed, yet Di Chen and Xun Ya had already been forced to use this? The illumination of spirit thunder did not distinguish friend from foe. Even his battlefield with Guang Chan was affected, flesh peeling from both men as though burned.
He hesitated no longer and activated his divine ability. Countless black-gray flames erupted from his dharma body like scattered meteors. Hundreds upon thousands of fiery streams rose and converged, condensing into a single star.
The Rahu fiend star.
As the star emerged, malignant baleful energy spread and collided with the Azure Leaves. Black flames compressed into a point, then exploded, catching the azure wood dragon image in the blast and leaving it teetering in the air.
