The Great Bright Fire, which could burn mountains and boil seas, obscured the sun and the sky.
Rolling waves of heat rushed forward, causing the complexions of the surrounding cultivators to change. Even those a bit closer had sparks catch on their robes.
Upon witnessing the intense blaze, the onlookers were forced to control their swords and retreat more than sixty feet away, continuing to watch the competition from a distance.
Ling Yunpo faced the Great Bright Fire without any change in expression, raising a single hand in a sword gesture, chanting an incantation:
"Misty and hazy, like a mirage on the water."
Suddenly, a dense fog rose rapidly, clashing with the scorching waves of the Great Bright Fire, and immediately billowing white steam soared as if boiling water bubbled over.
