A brilliant, five-colored flame surged across the sky, its scorching heat continuously distorting the space, making the view appear blurred and hazy. Faced with this terrifying blaze, countless people within Ye Cheng gasped, even though the fire curtain provided some separation—they still felt the overwhelming, awe-inspiring force, so intense it was hard to imagine what it must have been like for someone standing where Tian She and her companions were. Though no one had personally experienced it, even the most unimaginative would surely agree that such a sensation would be utterly unbearable. As expected, within the vast luminous array, Tian She and her companions also now looked pale and distressed—the hidden destructive power within the radiant flame, like a concealed toxin, sent a constant chill through their hearts. "Master Snake, what should we do?" "Bei Xuan took a deep breath, his face subtly agitated. The magnificent five-colored flame sea was truly terrifying. If they were to fall into it without intervention, aside from Tian She, he and Bing Hua would likely meet a grim fate. As practitioners of cold and icy qi, they were naturally vulnerable to this vibrant flame, which now pressed upon them with relentless force. Should they fail to act, the moment the flames reached them would mark the end of their lives. 'What's the matter? Why are you so worried?' Tian She's expression darkened, and he sharply rebuked him. Then, with a steady tone, he said, 'He has an array. Then my Ice River Valley must have an array as well! This young man possesses strong explosive power, though it won't last long. Once the duration of his Tian Fire San Xuan Transformation expires, the great array will naturally collapse on its own. At that point, capturing him will be as simple as picking up a leaf.'" Indeed, this Tian She proved herself no less than a renowned powerhouse of Dan Domain. Even under such circumstances, she remained composed, calmly identifying the critical vulnerability hidden beneath Xiao Yan's seemingly overwhelming strength. Upon hearing Tian She's sharp rebuke, Ice Xuan and Ice Hua flushed slightly, then nodded vigorously. Adjusting their stances according to the array's positioning, a steady, bone-chilling cold radiated continuously from their bodies. As the ice mirror solidified, the vibrant, five-colored flames surged forth like a sea of fire, sweeping in with a roar of intense heat and engulfing the cold, crystalline surface. Upon first contact, the five-colored flames immediately emitted sharp hissing sounds, releasing countless streams of white mist that surged outward from the icy mirror, fiercely resisting the flames' intense heat and scorching. Hissing... droplets of icy liquid continuously rose from the mirror's surface, cascading down its surface, only to be swiftly vaporized into nothingness by the surging five-colored flames. Within the vast array of light, a magnificent sea of flames surged, and at the very heart of this blaze, a snow-white ice mirror floated, its surface subtly revealing three indistinct figures. Xiao Yan stared coldly at the mirror surface, which was steadily dripping with melting water, a quiet sneer forming at the corner of his lips. The fusion of the five flames—how potent it was, even Xiao Yan himself had been struck by astonishment. Though he did indeed hold a notable gap compared to Tian She, the synergy of Tian Huo San Xuan Bian and his current Five-Lun Li Huo method had narrowed that gap to an extremely narrow margin. Yet now, to withstand this five-colored flame directly, was nothing short of self-imposed hardship. The five-colored flame burned fiercely, its intense heat distorting the space within the light array so profoundly that dark streaks of space began to emerge. The snow-white ice mirror, suspended within the flame, was gradually melting. Its thick crystalline layer thinned steadily—so much so that even the three Tian She figures, whose faces were visibly shifting, could no longer remain indifferent. Due to the elemental opposition, the destructive power of the five-colored flame was fully unleashed, reaching "The serpent is growing old. If this continues, the consumption of qi will be too great—perhaps before the young one's secret technique reaches its limit, we won't be able to withstand the onslaught..." Ice Xuan pressed his palms against the ice layer above his head, allowing the cold energy to flow continuously into the structure through his arms. Yet even so, he could still sense an increasingly intense, violent heat seeping in, spreading steadily. The sky serpent's expression remained uncertain—he had underestimated the destructive power of the five-colored flame. As for the苦笑 of the two, the Celestial Serpent paid no heed, his eyes fixed firmly on a space beyond the icy mirror—there, a faint figure seemed to shimmer. "Crack... crack..." The five-colored flames raged wildly, and even under that scorching heat, droplets of water accumulated steadily upon the sturdy mirror, gradually thinning its substantial structure. Staring at this tense standoff within the light array, many in Ye Cheng found their spines tingling with awe. The young figure had left an unimaginable impression—first defeating a Soul Palace guard, and now, single-handedly trapping the three senior elders of Binghe Valley deep within a raging sea of flames, completely immobilized. Such achievements stirred passionate excitement even when spoken of, let alone witnessed firsthand. The crack spread faster and faster, until finally, it shuddered violently and then burst open with a thunderous roar, sending countless shards of ice flying outward and radiating an astonishing cold that instantly pushed back the five-colored flame sea, causing it to recede. When the pale blue ice began to emerge, the Sky Serpent sensed the terrifying scorching heat radiating from the five-colored flames—its intensity had diminished by half. At that moment, its eyes flashed with fierce determination, and it lifted its gaze, staring coldly and solemnly at Xiao Yan in the distance. Its voice, deep and resonant with an endless chill, echoed throughout the luminous array. "Young man, this concludes everything!" As the words settled, the Sky Serpent clenched its hands tightly, and a flowing, liquid-like pale blue energy surged forth from its palms. Within this pale blue energy, countless fine ice fragments floated, shimmering with an eerie luminescence. With its hands, the Sky Serpent grasped this liquid energy and then pulled it with sudden force—immediately, the liquid coiled and expanded into a vast, two-zhang-long blue ice bow. As the ice bow materialized, the chill of the surrounding realm surged dramatically, and eventually, even the once-ferocious five-colored flames retreated slightly. "The Bow of the Ice God." The Celestial Serpent's face grew cold. With a single pull of his hand, he drew the bowstring, emitting a creaking sound as he slowly drew it taut. A chilling aura gathered around him, and gradually, a massive blue ice arrow—over a zhang in length—emerged slowly along the bowstring. As the ice arrow rose, the sky far away, where Xiao Yan stood, darkened. He could feel that even the swirling five-colored sea of flames at the arrow's target point had been subtly split open, forming a crack. "Indeed, this Celestial Serpent is no ordinary peak-tier Douzong cultivator—he proves to be remarkably difficult to handle," Xiao Yan murmured, drawing a deep breath. A glint of determination flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, his hand seals shifted. As the seals changed, the five-colored flames within the light array surged violently, then erupted toward Xiao Yan, converging in a vast wave onto his right arm. Crackle! With an ever-increasing convergence of five-colored flames gathering upon Xiao Yan's arm, a colossal five-colored flame arm, stretching ten zhang in length, slowly stirred and emerged, gently encircling his arm. From a distance, it appeared as if the arm of the Fire God itself, wielding incomparable power capable of destroying heaven and earth. "With this arrow, I claim your life!" Gazing at Xiao Yan's immense flame arm, Tian She's eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression grew even more fierce. With a cold command, she released the fingers that had drawn the bow—cracking with a soft 'pop'—and let go. "Divine Ice Arrow—sealing heaven and earth!" As the fingers released, the massive blue ice arrow, stretching a zhang in length, shot forth with a sharp 'whoosh.' The instant it struck, a surge of coldness spread throughout the realm, dimming even the surrounding fire veil. Xiao Yan's expression was fierce, gazing at the blue streak that rapidly expanded within his pupils. His fierce demeanor flickered, and his body momentarily paused. Then, amid countless expressions of astonishment, he stomped the void with his foot, raising a massive hand that seemed like the arm of the Fire God. With a powerful, visually striking force, he delivered a resounding punch straight toward the surging blue bow arrow charging at him! Fire God's Arm! Eradicate Heaven and Earth!
