The two continued battling in midair. As Torch Dragon fought, he teased his opponent in a relaxed tone; the other's abilities had improved considerably since their last great battle.
Their attacks collided, and then they abruptly separated. Blue-white energy surged around Torch Dragon, and a massive Strange Rune Array emerged above his head. Dozens of energy spheres burning with eerie white flames descended from the array.
Waves of green nether law welled up in the Nether Realm Controller's palm. Energy attacks likewise wrapped in the power of the law shot toward the dozens of light spheres.
Boom!
The violent shock waves from the two attacks' repeated collisions smashed everything around them into fragments.
The Nether Realm Controller kept one hand behind his back. It was clenched into a fist and trembling nonstop.
As Torch Dragon walked forward, a blue energy lotus appeared beside him with each step, until eight hovered behind him.
A trace of shock finally entered the Nether Realm Controller's normally unruffled voice.
Had this fellow actually condensed a heart lotus already?
Torch Dragon did not deny it. He was certain now that Ming was no longer a match for him.
He turned his palm over, and thick layers of ice began forming across the land that had always been dominated by lava and scorching heat.
Even the Black Flame Tower and all the surrounding buildings had frozen into blocks of ice.
The Eighth Layer of the Nine-Layered Deathlands had become a world of ice and snow.
The Nether Realm Controller had never expected his opponent's cultivation to improve so quickly. It had completely exceeded his imagination.
Torch Dragon extended his invitation again. As long as his opponent submitted to him, the two of them would rule the Miniature Exquisite World.
The Nether Realm Controller did not agree.
