Yu Xuan did not use lightning.
Instead, his left eye normally golden now — darkened, swirling with an abyssal gleam.
Then.
FOOOOSH—
Darkness Chaos Flames burst into existence around him, devouring the light, birthing black fire that bent the surroundings.
With a single flicker, those flames swept across the battlefield.
Every one of the beast's ice clones ignited.
They didn't melt.
They didn't crack.
They simply ceased to exist consumed by a fire that erased rather than burned.
The real beast froze, shock flickering in its blue eyes as its army was annihilated effortlessly.
Then.
CRACK—!!
It vanished.
Reappearing beside Yu Xuan.
And slammed its bone-spined tail toward him with enough force to shake the entire mountain peak.
Yu Xuan stepped aside calmly, the tail smashing into the snow where he stood.
A shockwave rippled out, snow exploding in every direction.
But then,
RUMBLE—!!
