There was a hint of shock in Mi Ling's eyes as she observed the Azure Dragon.
"I knew he was strong, but I didn't expect him to be this powerful. The aura emanating from the dragon is undoubtedly as potent as that of a cultivator in the early stage of Dao Integration realm." She muttered to herself.
The azure dragon let out a deafening roar, its massive jaws gaping open as it lunged towards her.
Despite the terrifying sight, she remained calm and composed, her eyes fixed on the dragon as it drew closer. In one fluid motion, she swung her saber, unleashing a powerful wave of golden sabre qi that sliced through the air towards the dragon.
The powerful wave of golden sabre qi slammed into the dragon's open jaws, causing it to roar in agony. However, the azure dragon quickly recovered and became even more furious. With an ear-splitting roar, the azure dragon summoned a powerful wave of azure energy that sliced through the air, hurtling towards Mi Ling.
With a collected and composed manner, Mi Ling swung her left hand, causing her shield to glow with an eerie dark granny light. Soon, a giant black tortoise materialized in the air before her, its gaze fixed upon the dragon as it let out a deep, threatening growl.
After a brief pause, The dragon and the tortoise charged towards each other, colliding with immense force, creating a shock wave that destroyed the entire floor. Even the massive pagoda shook from the tremendous impact.
As the dust and debris settled, both Liang Yifei and Mi Ling emerged from the destruction unscathed.
Liang Yifei fixed his gaze on Mi Ling with a calm intensity that seemed to cut through the tension in the air. "Playtime is over," he declared, his voice low and steady. "Let's begin the real fight."
As his words faded away, dark crimson flames erupted around his body, crackling and hissing like a fierce storm. The flames intensified until they seemed to consume his entire form, obscuring him from view.
But then, as quickly as they had appeared, the flames faded away, revealing a shocking transformation. Liang Yifei was now covered in gleaming golden scales, each one glinting in the light like precious jewels. He let out a deafening roar that shook the very space around them.
Mi Ling's features hardened as she drew in a deep breath, her eyes focused and intense. The playful spark that had danced in her gaze was replaced with a brilliant glint, and her lips set into a firm line. She formed a mantra with both hands, focusing all of her power into it.
A seven-coloured rune emerged on her forehead, glowing with an otherworldly light that seemed to shine with the brilliance of a thousand stars.
As Mi Ling's hands moved through the air, seven intricate symbols began to materialize in the space around her, each one glowing with a different colour. They joined together, forming a complex pattern that followed her movements.
The seven-coloured rune on her forehead grew brighter, and the symbols around her seemed to come alive, swirling and dancing in a mesmerizing display of power.
Suddenly, a burst of light erupted from the center of the pattern, engulfing Mi Ling entirely. When it cleared, a suit of armor made from the same seven-coloured energy had encased her body.
The armor was made up of seven different layers, each one emitting a different colour of light.
The first layer was a deep, vibrant red, covering her torso and arms. It glinted in the sunlight as if it were made of precious gemstones.
The second layer was bright orange, covering her legs and feet. It shone like a fiery sun, radiating heat that could be felt even from a distance.
The third layer was a gleaming yellow, forming a helmet around her head. It almost seemed like a crown, with golden spikes protruding from the top that looked like rays of sunshine.
The fourth layer was a lush green, forming a skirt-like layer around her waist. The leaves and vines of the layer seemed to sway in an ethereal breeze as if they were alive.
The fifth layer was a deep blue, covering her shoulders and upper back. It sparkled like the ocean, with waves and sea creatures dancing in the brilliance of the light.
The sixth layer was an indigo hue, forming gauntlets around her hands. It pulsed with power, ready to strike with its own enchanting might.
The final layer was a mesmerizing violet, wrapping around her thighs and lower legs. It seemed to glow with a pearl of inner wisdom as if it held the knowledge of the universe itself.
As she moved, the armor sparkled and glowed, as though illuminated from within. The armor seemed to be a part of her, and it moved with her every motion. She looked like a mythical being, an otherworldly creature with an unfathomable power.
In the meantime, a spirit boat streaked across the sky towards Heaven Peak City, moving with unprecedented speed. standing on the boat were two figures: Han Zhi and his disciple, Shi Long.
As they soared through the clouds, Shi Long couldn't hide his excitement as he looked up at his master, "Who would've thought that the Heavenly Mist Palace would release such news? We're certainly not the only ones heading to the Heaven Peak City."
Han Zhi, on the other hand, was lost in thought and looked far from happy. " To think that day came so soon, ". he muttered to himself." I will finally take revenge for myself and the billions who were wrongfully killed by this devil "
