Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1488: 421: Team Tournament Concludes (Two-in-One, Countdown to Finale: 30)

One could vaguely discern fifteen distinct attribute energies constantly merging and bifurcating between its palms, seemingly weaving together in accordance with a mysterious sequence.

As this intricate interlacing persisted, it felt as though a terrifyingly potent force was being distilled and birthed from the very void itself.

Even while shrouded by the intense True Phoenix Flame, this burgeoning power remained strikingly evident, shining as brightly as a beacon in the darkness!

Sensing this peculiar energy, the joy in Yingying’s eyes—born from gradually seizing the advantage—was instantly replaced by a look of shock.

That formidable power radiated a sense of dread that surpassed even the threat of the True Phoenix Flame!

What exactly is that?!

Youyou lacks the Undying Golden Body; how is she capable of manifesting such a monstrous force again?

While Yingying grappled with these questions, a faint exclamation drifted out from the nearly smothered True Phoenix Flame.

Simultaneous with the sudden flare of the True Phoenix Flame, a piercing ray of light manifested!

Though only as thick as a small arm, the beam was blindingly brilliant, erupting like a nascent sun rising directly before their eyes.

In comparison to the colossal Purgatory Eye, which spanned a full kilometer, this slender beam appeared almost trivial.

However, against the sheer concentrated power it held, the Purgatory Eye began to dissolve like snow beneath a scorching sun, eventually shattering entirely along with its solidified vertical pupil.

During this collision, the arm-thick beam was steadily depleted of its own energy.

By the time the Purgatory Eye had fully collapsed, the beam had been reduced to a strand no thicker than a hair.

Even so, as this lone strand grazed past Yingying, the dragon could not help but cry out in agony. Its dragon scales, which were typically impervious to the full-strength assaults of an average monarch, crumbled into dust upon contact with the light.

After losing several scales in rapid succession, Yingying finally managed to neutralize the terrifying energy. When it turned its gaze back toward Youyou, who was struggling to maintain her position in the void, its expression was heavy with seriousness.

Had that strike landed directly, she would have been critically wounded!

In that moment, Yingying mentally scanned through every skill Youyou could possibly perform, only then realizing the true nature of the technique Youyou had just unleashed.

It was the secret technique of the Lingxia Palace, known as “Smoke and Cloud Weaving Light” from the “Xia Zhi Jing”!

Despite not yet entering the Heaven Rank Secret Realm, Self Transformation Valley, Lin Su had successfully decoded all the ancient scrolls and texts of the Lingxia Palace over the preceding days.

The core power within the Lingxia Palace originated from the Lingxia Temple.

This was a distinctive power; in their eyes, light was not some ephemeral or illusory thing, but a tangible and wondrous force.

In fact, they held an obsessive conviction that the entire world was constructed of light, viewing darkness not as a competing force, but merely as a symptom of light’s absence.

Guided by this unique philosophy, the secret techniques of the Lingxia Palace were extraordinarily unconventional.

Among these, the most compatible for Youyou was the specialized secret technique called “Xia Zhi Jing.”

This technique provided an elaborate methodology for dismantling and reweaving the eight natural elements, transmuted them into a revolutionary and unique energy known as “Smoke and Cloud Weaving Light”!

This “Smoke and Cloud Weaving Light” was legendary as the most powerful foundation of the Lingxia Palace, a force that had once struck fear into all other Sects.

When this specific “Xia Zhi Jing” was mastered by Youyou, it underwent a quiet transformation.

It no longer relied on the interlacing of the eight natural elements.

Instead, it utilized fifteen entirely different forces.

The “Smoke and Cloud Weaving Light” generated from this fusion did not possess the rules of breaking, meaning it did not cause a violent backlash for the user.

However, this upgraded version of “Smoke and Cloud Weaving Light,” while lacking breaking rules, reached a similar tier of power due to its extreme density and its innate suppression of the dark element. Its destructive capability was even more pronounced than that of the True Phoenix Flame.

Grasping the reality of the situation, a look of realization dawned on Yingying’s face.

Because Youyou had only recently acquired the deciphered “Xia Zhi Jing,” Yingying never suspected she could already manifest such a unique secret technique from the Lingxia Palace.

In a battle where plans were constantly shifting, even with the luck of a mid-combat breakthrough, it still wasn't enough to secure the win.

Nonetheless, this breakthrough was far more vital to Yingying than a mere victory in a team tournament.

The Illusion and Reality Rules from the Immortal Rank Heavenly Illusion Dragon and those belonging to the Spirit Master represented two different paths of rule comprehension. At this moment, they had unexpectedly fused, significantly boosting Yingying’s Purgatory Rules to a level where they could almost compete with breaking rules.

Yingying felt a premonition that its Illusion and Reality Rules were only one fortuitous encounter away from a total breakthrough.

Once that happens, its rule level will officially ascend to a height comparable to breaking rules.

Tata immediately activated its Recovery Power, bathing the two little ones whose Qi and energy had been completely drained.

Under the influence of Tata’s power, Youyou’s battered body began its recovery, and Yingying’s broken dragon scales started to rapidly mend and grow back.

As their strength returned, Yingying looked toward Youyou.

“Yo? ╚(ŏoŏ)╝” (Have you fully mastered your “Xia Zhi Jing”?)

Having regained some of her Spirit, Youyou let out a soft giggle.

“Yes! (❁´◡`❁)” (That was the first time I successfully merged fifteen attributes into “Smoke and Cloud Weaving Light”!)

What, did you actually believe you were the only one capable of a breakthrough during a fight?

Yingying: “…”

Damn it!

It still wasn't satisfied!

The next time they had a chance to duel, it would definitely reclaim its dignity!

“You both performed excellently.” Lin Su said, unable to hide a proud smile.
