Wang Qiuyue's body shuddered violently, and the deep azure dragon scales covering her body suddenly stood on end.
Blindingly white, searing light erupted from the gaps between the scales.
A primal, savage energy, like a dormant volcano, exploded from within her.
Wang Qiuyue's transformation immediately drew the attention of Song Wen and Fan Kang.
Fan Kang's heart clenched.
Judging by Wang Qiuyue's stance, she might actually break through his Weak Water Barrier.
But then he remembered he had never heard of her possessing Supreme Yang Blazing Flames, and he forcibly suppressed his unease.
Even so, he couldn't stand by and watch Wang Qiuyue unleash a desperate attack.
Fan Kang rapidly shifted his hand seals, causing the Weak Water Barrier to shimmer and instantly split into eleven thousand hair-thin, transparent water threads.
Like a swarm of disturbed bees, these threads pierced the air with shrill hisses as they converged on Wang Qiuyue in an overwhelming barrage.
Yet the first to be struck were not Wang Qiuyue herself, but the four venomous pythons that had been surrounding and attacking her.
The four venomous pythons attacked with frenzied ferocity, their serpentine bodies coiling and thrashing wildly. Their abyssal maws gaped open in furious roars, venomous spittle spraying forth as demonic essence surged and malevolent qi surged in a terrifying torrent.
Before the water threads could even reach them, they lost their earlier sharpness and speed, becoming as soft as wind-tossed strands of hair, drifting aimlessly in all directions.
Yet not a single thread broke. Instead, as if imbued with life, they drifted and weaved through the chaotic currents of energy, silently approaching the Toxic Flood Dragon. The threads adhered to the python's scales, spreading relentlessly, coiling around its massive serpentine body in layer upon layer.
One end of each water thread remained anchored to the weak water barrier, while the other end was tightly wrapped around the python, stretching taut between the two.
The four venomous pythons froze abruptly, as if ensnared in an invisible net.
They writhed frantically, desperate to break free.
Their tails lashed out with thunderous booms, but even these violent strikes failed to sever the seemingly fragile water threads.
With the pythons no longer obstructing their path, the Weak Water threads, whose primary target remained Wang Qiuyue, continued to advance toward her.
Seeing the threads surging from all directions, a flicker of anxiety flashed in Wang Qiuyue's eyes.
The incandescent white light erupting from between her scales grew increasingly intense.
Just as the water threads were about to touch Wang Qiuyue's body, the blazing white light suddenly contracted inward, vanishing completely into her.
Immediately afterward, a desolate dragon's roar, seemingly echoing from the primordial past, erupted from her throat, shaking the entire weak water barrier violently!
Her deep azure dragon scales, which had been standing on end, instantly transformed into a crystalline, translucent glazed color, their surfaces now burning with a thin, nearly transparent layer of white flames.
These flames radiated no heat; instead, they emanated an aura of supreme holiness and majesty, capable of purifying all things.
The approaching water threads hissed violently upon contact with the white flames, like cold water dripping into boiling oil.
The normally soft and resilient Weak Water threads were instantly incinerated by the white flames, dissolving into wisps of blue smoke and vanishing without even touching Wang Qiuyue.
"Glazed Blaze... World-Cleansing!"
Wang Qiuyue roared, her eyes blazing with murderous intent.
The white flames engulfing her body surged violently, burning with renewed ferocity.
Just as she was about to leap upward, aiming for Fan Kang through the weak water barrier above, Song Wen's voice suddenly rang out.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, wait! Perhaps I can break through this turtle shell."
Wang Qiuyue's expression froze in surprise as she looked up at Song Wen outside the barrier.
The glazed blaze had already been summoned, and she was prepared to sacrifice everything. Yet now, Ji Yin claimed to have a way to break the stalemate?
Why couldn't you have said this sooner?
The glazed blaze was burning her divine soul!
Though the spell had only just been cast, it had already inflicted significant damage to her divine soul.
As Wang Qiuyue's resentment surged, she suddenly noticed Ji Yin's eyes had turned blood-red. Two crimson beams shot forth from his pupils, illuminating the weak water barrier.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Fan Kang's heart jolted again when he heard Ji Yin claim to have a way to breach the weak water barrier.
His first thought was that he had misjudged Ji Yin. Could it be that Ji Yin actually possessed Supreme Yang Blazing Flames?
But then he saw Ji Yin merely activating a pupil technique, and the tension in his heart immediately eased.
Eye techniques were mostly auxiliary spells with little offensive power. Even if Ji Yin's "Extreme Yin" eye technique possessed destructive force, it could never shake the Weak Water Sky-Imprisoning Barrier, which neutralized force with softness and transformed power into nothingness.
"Ji Yin, stop deluding yourself. A mere eye technique can't move Riverless Weak Water."
"Wang Qiuyue, your Glazed Blaze has purifying power, but it's not Supreme Yang Blazing Flames. Even if your divine soul burns to ashes, it's utterly impossible..."
Fan Kang's words abruptly froze in his throat, not another syllable escaping his lips.
He had suddenly noticed that the area of the weak water barrier illuminated by the crimson beam had inexplicably become sluggish and rigid, as if flowing water had instantly solidified into solid ice, completely losing the gentle fluidity characteristic of Riverless Weak Water.
This wasn't a flaw in the barrier itself, but rather Fan Kang's loss of control over the Riverless Weak Water in the illuminated area.
Before Fan Kang could ponder the cause, a streak of black sword light tore through the air and struck the very spot illuminated by the crimson beam.
The barrier was instantly pierced, and a black sword light surged into its interior.
In the next moment, the entire barrier shattered like a bubble pricked by a needle, transforming into crystalline droplets that rained down from the sky.
With the weak water barrier broken, the eleven thousand water threads that had been shooting from it also disintegrated.
The four venomous pythons were immediately freed.
Terrified beyond measure, they dared not linger. Their serpentine bodies twisted as they plunged downward, diving into the abyss below.
Wang Qiuyue instantly felt a wave of relief wash over her.
The scales that had been standing on end against her body flattened back into place, and the white flames gradually dissipated.
Wang Qiuyue and the four venomous pythons had all been saved, leaving only Fan Kang to sink into panic and despair.
His panic stemmed from the realization that Ji Yin had actually breached the Weak Water Sky-Imprisoning Barrier.
His despair arose from the fact that the black sword light, transformed from the Nine Calamity Heaven-Measuring Sword, had retained its overwhelming power even after shattering the barrier. It arced through the air and hurtled straight toward him.
He now possessed no means whatsoever to withstand this strike.
"Ji Yin... Fellow Daoist, I beg you to spare my life..."
Clang!
Before he could finish speaking, a deafening clash of metal erupted.
Though Fan Kang pleaded for mercy, he didn't resign himself to death. Instead, he summoned his flying sword to meet the black sword light head-on.
Alas, his flying sword was effortlessly deflected.
The black sword light's lingering force remained undiminished, tearing through his protective spiritual power and piercing through his dantian.
