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

One could faintly observe fifteen distinct elemental attributes merging and splitting between its palms, weaving together in a sophisticated, rhythmic sequence.

As this intricate interlacing persisted, a terrifying force seemed to be manifesting out of the very void itself.

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

Sensing this peculiar energy, the joy in Yingying’s eyes—born from slowly gaining the upper hand—instantly vanished, replaced by a look of shock.

That localized, dread-inducing power felt like a much more lethal threat than even the True Phoenix Flame!

What exactly is that?!

Without the Undying Golden Body, how is Youyou capable of summoning such a devastating force once again?

While Yingying grappled with this question, a soft cry resonated from within the nearly extinguished True Phoenix Flame.

A sudden beam of light pierced through as the True Phoenix Flame surged back to life!

Though the beam was only as thick as a small arm, its radiance was blinding, erupting like a miniature sun rising directly before their eyes.

In comparison to the colossal Purgatory Eye, which stretched a kilometer in width, this single ray appeared almost trivial.

However, when faced with the sheer concentrate of power within that beam, the Purgatory Eye began to dissolve like snow under a scorching sun, eventually collapsing entirely along with its solidified vertical pupil.

The arm-thick beam steadily depleted its own energy during this violent collision.

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

Even so, as this tiny remnant grazed past Yingying, the dragon couldn't help but let out a pained cry. Its dragon scales, which were normally immune to the full-strength attacks of an ordinary monarch, simply disintegrated upon contact with the light.

After losing several scales in rapid succession, Yingying finally managed to neutralize the lingering, terrifying energy. Looking back at Youyou, who was struggling to maintain her position in the void, Yingying’s expression turned incredibly solemn.

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

Yingying quickly cycled through the list of skills Youyou was capable of, only then realizing the true nature of the technique Youyou had just deployed.

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

Even though she had not yet stepped into the Heaven Rank Secret Realm known as Self Transformation Valley.

Lin Su had spent the previous days successfully deciphering all the ancient scrolls and texts recovered from the Lingxia Palace.

The martial force within the Lingxia Palace was known as the Lingxia Temple.

They wielded a strange power; in their philosophy, light was a tangible, wondrous force rather than something ethereal or nonexistent.

Their belief system was almost obsessive, asserting that every element in existence was formed from light, while darkness was merely a symptom of lacking that fundamental force.

From this unique perspective, the secret techniques of the Lingxia Palace were exceptionally unconventional.

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

This technique provided an elaborate method for breaking down and reweaving the eight natural elements, synthesizing them into a brand-new energy form called “Smoke and Cloud Weaving Light”!

This “Smoke and Cloud Weaving Light” was legendary, remembered as the formidable foundation that the Lingxia Palace once used to strike fear into rival sects.

However, once this specific “Xia Zhi Jing” was mastered by Youyou, it underwent a silent transformation.

It was no longer limited to the union of the eight natural elements.

Instead, it involved fifteen entirely different forces.

The “Smoke and Cloud Weaving Light” generated from this fusion lacked the rules of breaking, which meant it did not trigger a violent backlash against the user.

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

Realizing the truth, a look of understanding finally crossed Yingying’s face.

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

Despite a plan that relied on luck and an unexpected mid-battle breakthrough, Yingying had still come up short.

Nevertheless, this breakthrough meant far more to Yingying than a mere win in a team tournament.

The Illusion and Reality Rules inherited from the Immortal Rank Heavenly Illusion Dragon and those provided by the Spirit Master represented two different paths. In this moment, they had perfectly fused, significantly boosting Yingying’s Purgatory Rules to a level where they could almost challenge breaking rules.

Yingying sensed that her Illusion and Reality Rules were now just one fortunate encounter away from a total breakthrough.

Once that happens, her rule level will truly ascend to a rank that rivals the power of breaking rules.

Tata immediately activated its Recovery Power, bathing the two little ones—who had completely exhausted their energy—in a healing glow.

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

As their strength returned, Yingying turned to look at Youyou.

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

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

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

What, did you think you were the only one capable of breaking through during a fight?

Yingying: “…”

Damn it!

It was still frustrated!

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

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