“Is that… the Fire Cloud Mystic Spirit Banner?”
“Isn’t the Fire Cloud Mystic Spirit Banner supposed to belong to Fire Cloud Venerable? How did it end up in the hands of the Water and Fire Dual Heroes?”
“They must have stolen it from Fire Cloud Venerable.”
“That makes sense. Fire Cloud Venerable hasn’t been seen for a long time, maybe he has fallen.”
The onlooking cultivators started discussing again.
“Boy, I advise you to surrender obediently, or you will die a miserable death,” Fierce Wave sneered, channeling his spiritual power into the Fire Cloud Mystic Spirit Banner.
The Fire Cloud Mystic Spirit Banner glowed with a bright red light.
Fierce Wave grasped the banner’s pole and swung it in Leo’s direction.
A massive wave of fire surged out from the Fire Cloud Mystic Spirit Banner, engulfing everything in its path.
“Blazing Enclosure!”
With a loud shout from Fierce Wave, the overwhelming wave of fire transformed into a huge fiery dome, trapping Leo inside.
The fiery dome was covered with crimson fire runes, exuding an indestructible aura.
Seeing Leo trapped in the fiery dome, Fierce Wave smirked coldly and waved the Fire Cloud Mystic Spirit Banner again.
Eight enormous fire serpents, each hundreds of feet long, shot out from the Fire Cloud Mystic Spirit Banner.
The temperature of the surrounding area soared instantly.
The eight giant fire serpents twisted and turned, transforming into eight dazzling beams of fire that charged into the fiery dome.
The temperature inside the fiery dome became extremely terrifying.
The eight giant fire serpents simultaneously swept towards Leo at the center.
“Heh, do you think a mere fiery dome can trap me?” Leo chuckled softly.
Under everyone’s gaze, the space around Leo’s body began to ripple strangely.
As Leo took a step forward, his figure suddenly vanished from within the fiery dome.
Seeing Leo suddenly disappear, Fierce Fire and Fierce Wave’s expressions changed simultaneously.
The eight giant fire serpents collided at the center of the fiery dome, causing violent flames to sweep through the entire dome.
Inside the fiery dome, even steel would melt into molten metal.
In the next moment, outside the enormous fiery dome, space rippled and Leo’s figure reappeared.
“Is this… spatial displacement!?” Fierce Wave exclaimed in disbelief upon seeing Leo outside the fiery dome.
Fierce Fire’s face looked as if he had seen a ghost. “He just advanced to Spirit Saint and already mastered spatial displacement? How is this possible!?”
Cultivators typically begin to comprehend spatial laws and harness some spatial power after breaking through to the Spirit Saint realm. This requires talent and insight. Most Spirit Saint cultivators only grasp spatial laws in the mid to late stages of the realm when their golden core solidifies and their understanding of heavenly laws deepens.
A young man who had just broken through to Spirit Saint mastering spatial laws and performing spatial displacement was beyond belief for the Water and Fire Dual Heroes.
“That boy’s talent is truly astonishing,” Alejandro Gray said with amazement in his eyes. He was at the peak of the mid-Spirit Saint realm and could only use a fraction of spatial power.
“Now I understand why twelve Heavenly Thunders descended,” an elder in white robes said with a look of realization.
Elder Bloodmoon, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Puppet General, naturally noticed Leo’s spatial displacement and couldn’t help but show a hint of shock in his old eyes.
Leo felt somewhat relieved that his first attempt at spatial displacement had not failed. As for why he comprehended spatial laws and harnessed some spatial power right after breaking through to Spirit Saint, Leo didn’t fully understand-it was purely instinctive.
Such a powerful attack had no effect whatsoever. Fierce Fire’s face darkened as he raised the Fire Cloud Mystic Spirit Banner. The fiery dome shattered, and eight fire serpents flew back into the banner.
In return for courtesy, Leo decided to give the twins a taste of their own medicine. As Leo’s hand seals changed, two streams of ghostly blue water spiritual power transformed into two rivers that quickly disappeared into the void.
Fierce Fire and Fierce Wave sensed something unusual in the space around them. Just as they were about to retreat, a cold shout rang out: “Water Prison, imprison!”
Leo’s ancient hand seals merged together. Two enormous water spheres appeared, enveloping Fierce Fire and Fierce Wave respectively. The surface of the water spheres shimmered with intricate and mysterious rune imprints.
Fierce Fire’s heart tightened as he wielded his blue longsword. Sword light burst forth, slashing at the Water Prison. The thick water wall showed a deep mark under Fierce Fire’s sword strike but did not break.
In another Water Prison, Fierce Wave let out a furious roar and swung the Fire Cloud Mystic Spirit Banner. Intense flames surged from the banner, crashing against the inner wall of the Water Prison. The inner wall of the Water Prison rippled violently.
At this moment, Leo’s gaze fell on Fierce Wave as he took a step forward, appearing outside the Water Prison in an instant. Seeing Leo suddenly appear outside, Fierce Wave’s pupils contracted as he frantically waved the Fire Cloud Mystic Spirit Banner. Violent flames erupted madly, bombarding the inner wall of the Water Prison, causing it to shake under the terrifying heat.
Leo placed his right hand on the outer wall of the Water Prison and activated the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus. A surge of extreme cold energy instantly entered the Water Prison. The flames inside seemed to freeze rapidly, retreating back into the Fire Cloud Mystic Spirit Banner. The scorching heat within the Water Prison turned into an even more terrifying chill.
Fierce Wave’s heart sank. Even as a fire-element cultivator, he struggled to withstand the terrifying cold within the Water Prison. This cold was different from ordinary cold-it aimed to freeze not only his body but also his spiritual power.
Fierce Wave would not allow himself to be frozen. With a roar, his golden core in his dantian burst forth with dazzling firelight. Rolling fire spiritual power surged from his body, dissipating the ice forming on his surface. He countered the cold within the Water Prison with his fire spiritual power.
“Everything should end now,” Leo’s voice echoed in Fierce Wave’s ears. What had been merely an appetizer before was now followed by Leo unleashing his full power. Bone-chilling cold energy flooded into the Water Prison. The fire spiritual power surging from Fierce Wave’s body met this extreme cold and shattered inch by inch. Within just a few breaths, overwhelming cold energy completely enveloped Fierce Wave’s body. He wanted to roar in anger but found no sound could escape his throat. He tried to mobilize his fire spiritual power again but discovered it was frozen solid within him, unable to move.
The freezing of his own spiritual power dealt a massive psychological blow to Fierce Wave, filling his eyes with terror.
