Inside the Soul Clan Box, Soul Wind looked at the lightning that enveloped the sky, shook his head slightly, and spoke with a hint of regret.
"Well, I didn't expect that the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan would actually force the young clan leader to use this move."
Among the Thunder Clan, many people looked at the Thunder Spear that covered the sky with excitement on their faces. In their eyes, this attack was an extremely profound application of the power of thunder.
Although Lei Dong's attack may seem like it was just a grand display, the Lei Clan members knew very well that it contained an immense amount of lightning power. To mobilize such a massive amount of lightning power, one needed not only extremely strong soul power but also an extremely high affinity for lightning.
"Yueyao, let this strike decide the outcome!"
Lei Dong's eyes gleamed, and a trace of lightning flashed in them. Looking down at Yue Yao, Lei Dong let out a soft chuckle, his gaze sweeping over the full moon that occupied half the sky.
"Thunder Spear, strike!"
As Lei Dong finished speaking, he waved his hand, and hundreds of lightning spears shot out from behind him, densely covering the full moon in the sky.
Hearing Lei Dong's words, Yue Yao's expression remained unchanged. She closed her eyes slightly, gripped the long whip in her hands, bound it tightly, and formed an extremely complex hand seal. Then, a wisp of silver-white energy flashed in Yue Yao's eyes, and a beam of silver-white moonlight emerged from Yue Yao's forehead, connecting with the full moon that appeared in the sky.
"Buzz!"
Immediately afterwards, Yueyao spread her hands, and the full moon above her head instantly spun faster and faster, leaving behind extremely terrifying afterimages. A sharp aura ripped out from the edge of the full moon, forming a faint white halo.
"Moon Wheel, Transform!"
Yueyao's cold voice rang out. Just as Lei Dong's spear approached the full moon, the faint halo around the full moon suddenly released a strange energy, forming an extremely strange silver light screen in front of the full moon, which absorbed all the lightning spears.
As the thunder spear disappeared, the full moon shone even brighter than before.
"Ok?"
As the lightning spear disappeared, Lei Dong's face showed surprise. He hadn't expected that his prepared killing move would end in such a bizarre way.
Just as Lei Dong was stunned, the long whip in Yue Yao's hand emitted a faint silver light, like a full moon blooming in the sky.
With a flick of her right hand, Yueyao's long whip instantly transformed into an arch, connecting end to end to form a ring that emitted a faint silver light.
Immediately afterwards, the eerie silver-white light screen reappeared in the center of the whip, within which bolts of lightning flashed.
"Could it be...?"
Among the other clans, everyone who saw Yueyao's actions couldn't help but stand up and look at her with surprise.
"boom!"
Then, to everyone's astonishment, all the attacks Lei Dong had just launched emerged from the special space formed by Yue Yao's whip and attacked Lei Dong again. Moreover, these lightning spears were also imbued with a faint moonlight power.
"Boom!"
Hundreds of white lightning spears flashed past, exploding all around Lei Dong. The extremely dense lightning power instantly filled the air. Within the lightning, there were also strands of silver-white energy, which maximized the power of the lightning and prevented Lei Dong from trying to subdue the lightning again.
Even with Lei Dong's familiarity with the power of thunder, he was completely helpless at this moment and could only passively endure the terrifying attack of the thunder spear. His body trembled continuously under the attack of the thunder spear, and finally he could not stop it at all. He was sent flying backward, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth in mid-air.
"Sigh~"
Everyone felt that the power of the lightning spears had not only not been reduced, but had actually increased significantly, and they looked at Yueyao with a hint of surprise.
Not only can she turn all of the opponent's attacks into her own, but she can also add her own power to them, making the energy even stronger than before. With such methods, it's no wonder that everyone is so curious about Yueyao.
The strength of the Spirit Clan is no secret to everyone. Their main purpose in participating in the Spirit Clan Grand Ceremony was to take this opportunity to interact with the other clans and assess their strength. However, they did not expect that the Spirit Clan's Holy Maiden would be so terrifyingly powerful.
The Stone Clan's prodigies have all been defeated, and even Lei Dong, the most renowned genius of the Thunder Clan, has fallen to her. It seems that only the geniuses of the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan are qualified to challenge her...
With this thought in mind, no one from any of the clans stepped forward. Even Huo Xuan, who had been constantly chattering, fell silent.
Judging from the fight between the Spirit Clan Saintess and Lei Dong just now, Huo Xuan, though unwilling to admit it, knew in his heart that with his current strength, he was probably no match for her. Therefore, he didn't go looking for trouble.
However, Huo Xuan's judgment does not mean that everyone thinks so.
"Brother, let's go!"
Just as Huo Xuan was pretending to be dead, the fiery girl sitting next to him kicked him and then loudly said, "Go up and defeat this Spirit Clan Saintess to prove yourself."
Looking at his sister's appearance, Huo Xuan suddenly had the thought of breaking her legs for the first time.
However, Hime's voice had already drawn the attention of everyone around her.
Huo Xuan looked at the Medicine Clan member who was smiling at him, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on his face. Although he had made a judgment on the strength between himself and Yue Yao, after observing her just now, Huo Xuan felt that even if he was no match for her, as long as he persisted a little longer, he wouldn't lose too much face even if he was defeated.
After all, compared to the Stone Clan, who were completely wiped out, no one would want to be at the bottom of the rankings.
Thinking of this, Huo Xuan's face showed a faint smile. He glared at his younger sister, then burst out and landed on the stage. He cupped his hands towards Yue Yao and said, "Huo Xuan of the Yan Clan, please enlighten me!"
Yueyao watched Huoxuan's actions, a faint strange fire flashing in her eyes. She then nodded slightly, put away the long whip in her hand again, and stared sharply at Huoxuan.
Huo Xuan watched Yue Yao's actions with surprise in his heart, but he did not show it. Judging from the battle just now, the opponent was not the kind of person who would underestimate her. Perhaps the opponent's move had a deeper meaning.
"boom!"
With a thought, a jet-black flame surged from Huo Xuan's body, then condensed behind him into a jet-black wing more than ten feet in size, radiating a scorching aura.
"Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame!"
On the stands of all races, many powerful figures gleamed as they looked at the jet-black wings behind Huo Xuan.
The Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame ranks sixth on the list of strange flames. Like the Nine Dragons Thunderfire of Burning Flame Valley, this strange flame has long been imprinted with countless soul marks by the successive rulers of the Flame Clan and has been completely controlled by the Flame Clan.
As the most outstanding disciple in the clan, Huo Xuan's ability to receive preferential treatment in terms of clan resources and obtain the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame demonstrates that his status within the clan is likely already firmly established.
"boom!"
With the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flames enveloping him, Huo Xuan felt much more confident, and a hint of fighting spirit appeared in his eyes as he looked at Yue Yao.
"Wow!"
Just as everyone was about to fight, Yueyao waved her arm lightly, and suddenly a faint sound of flowing water entered everyone's ears.
"Huh? What's going on? Where is that sound of running water coming from?"
"Quick, quick, get to the stands!"
The crowd looked puzzled at the sound of flowing water, but the exclamation that followed interrupted their thoughts, drawing their attention to the competition platform.
When everyone's gaze fell upon the scene on the competition stage, expressions of surprise appeared on everyone's faces. Even among the other races, everyone stared at the competition stage with astonishment.
It was as if something utterly astonishing had appeared on the competition stage.
As everyone's attention focused on the competition platform, they were surprised to find that the originally flat platform had somehow transformed into a vast ocean, with the azure water rising continuously, but strangely only enveloping the platform.
In the blink of an eye, the azure seawater had already submerged Yueyao and Huoxuan's calves, and the depth of the seawater did not stop, but continued to rise.
"What's happening here?"
The bewildered audience looked at the arena with curiosity, but eventually could only focus their attention on the Spirit Race with puzzled expressions.
Chapter 76 The Seventy-Third Generation Saintess of the Spirit Clan
All eyes were now focused on the competition stage.
Everyone could clearly see that the endless tide flowed from a perfectly round jade pendant at Yueyao's waist, gradually filling the entire competition platform.
Within the flowing water, there was a trace of icy energy, its chilling aura so intense that even from a great distance, the onlookers could feel its terrifying power.
"If an ordinary Dou Zong expert were to enter, their strength would likely be instantly suppressed by this strange water."
Within the Yan Clan, an elder, looking at the water that suddenly gushed forth on the arena, spoke with some surprise, explaining to the crowd: "According to the clan's records, within the Spirit Clan, in the Mother Tree of All Things, there seems to be a very peculiar spring. Many of the older generation of powerful figures in the Spirit Clan seem to have stayed in this spring."
"However, even after expending a great deal of manpower, resources, and manpower, we still haven't obtained any other information about this spring. We only know that the icy chill it contains seems extremely terrifying, and even a Dou Zun expert wouldn't dare to ignore it..."
"Uncle Yan, do you mean this strange water is the spring recorded in the clan's records?"
Ahead, Huo Zhi heard the old man's words and a look of curiosity appeared on his face. He glanced at the spring water emanating a chill from the arena and then asked the old man, "Can you defeat Yue Yao, brother?"
"Hehe." The old man, who was called Uncle Yan, did not immediately explain when he heard Huo Zhi's question. Instead, he stroked his long beard mysteriously before calmly saying, "Although this spring water is extremely peculiar, and our clan has not received much information about it, there is one thing we can be sure of."
"That is the spring water. Once it leaves its birthplace, its effects are greatly weakened. The spring water gushing from the Spirit Clan Saintess was probably carried out of that spring water in some way. Although it still has some effect, it's not enough to contend with the Young Clan Chief's Eight Desolate Annihilation Flames..."
Uncle Yan shook his head, a confident look on his face: "That's just wishful thinking!"
As Uncle Yan finished speaking, Huo Zhi's face showed a satisfied expression, and then she turned her head to continue watching the competition on the stage.
On the competition platform, Huo Xuan watched the water level gradually rise beneath his feet, feeling the extreme cold energy contained within it surging into his body, as if trying to freeze him.
"Heh, that's not enough!"
A smile appeared on Huo Xuan's face. The wings formed by the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flames behind him suddenly flapped, and then scorching energy burst out directly from Huo Xuan's body.
"boom!"
The scorching energy spread outwards from Huo Xuan's center. In the blink of an eye, the extreme cold within three zhang of Huo Xuan was completely burned away by the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame, revealing the bricks and stones beneath their feet.
The Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame formed a circular shield around Huo Xuan's body, evaporating all the chill within three zhang and then resisting the spring water that was constantly surging into it from the outside.
Yueyao looked at Huoxuan's jet-black wings and saw all the spring water within three zhang of him evaporate. A strange look appeared on her face. Then she looked down at the jade pendant on her body, and a look of understanding flashed in her eyes. With a gentle wave of her hand, no more spring water flowed out.
The spring water inside this jade pendant has gradually weakened over time, which is why it couldn't suppress the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame.
Otherwise, with his Dou Zun strength and the suppression from this spiritual spring, the opponent's Eight Desolate Annihilation Flames shouldn't have been able to exert much of an effect...
"Strange, I seem to remember fighting him before..."
Yueyao murmured something strangely, then shook her head gently, suppressing her muddled thoughts, and focused on the battle in front of her.
Without the suppression of the spiritual spring, the power of the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame expanded once more, instantly occupying half of the arena. With Huo Xuan's movements, it roared towards Yue Yao on the other side.
Yueyao watched the approaching black flames, a hint of disdain flashing in her icy blue eyes. A haughty expression appeared on her face, her gaze indifferent. She stretched out her right index and middle fingers, forming a strange hand seal. A crescent-shaped mark flashed on her forehead, and then a chill burst forth from her body. A silver-white halo erupted from her body, shooting out in all directions in an instant.
From high above, a silvery-white arc emanated from Yueyao's center, continuously spreading outwards. Along the way, the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flames were completely shattered upon contact with this silvery-white energy, turning into specks of flame that vanished entirely into the air.
"Shh!"
