The ancient double-sided mirror above his head suddenly soared into the air and adjusted its angle. Brilliant fire blazed like a newly risen sun, and the mirror shot a searing beam of Solar True Fire straight at Cui Jiuyang.
The instant the fire appeared on the clifftop platform, the air there seemed to ignite, and the temperature rose sharply.
In the bleak late autumn, when the chill had already become biting, the heat of the Solar True Fire actually created the illusion of returning spring warmth.
Rather than showing fear, Cui Jiuyang laughed and declared, "Well met! Let me see what real abilities you have, you ox-nosed priest, to dare make such grand claims about the affairs of the world!"
With a thought, he immediately activated his spiritual power. An Apotropaic Coin emerged in response, sending a brilliant golden ray shooting from above his head straight toward the Solar True Fire.
It was the Kan Palace Surging Waves Battle-Jiao Coin, painstakingly refined by Ice Soul. The entire coin resembled a crystalline drop of water, glowing faintly and exquisitely crafted.
The front bore the majestic Gonggong Treading the Waves Picture, while ice, water, and vapor cycled across its reverse, concealing profound mysteries.
This coin specialized in subduing water ghosts and suppressing floods. It contained power of utmost yin and cold, making it an irreconcilable counter to the supremely yang, fiercely blazing Solar True Fire.
The Apotropaic Coin spun rapidly in midair, pouring out vast quantities of water vapor that instantly enveloped the Solar True Fire in layer upon layer.
An endless hissing filled the air as vapor and true fire extinguished one another, raising billows of white mist.
By the time the spreading vapor gradually dispersed, the dazzling Solar True Fire in the sky had long since vanished without a trace.
