The corrupted dark blade shimmered. Black veins pulsed across its surface, its emerald core emitting an otherworldly glow.

Suddenly, the air around Yun Lintian crackled with raw power. The wind picked up, swirling around him in a chaotic dance. The dust particles in the air began to clump together, forming a dark green and obsidian black mist that mirrored the energy of the fused laws within the sword.

"HAH!!"

With a battle cry that echoed through the crumbling cavern, Yun Lintian swung the corrupted blade. A wave of dark energy, imbued with the spark of life from the Dragon God's Soul, surged forward, colliding with Dian Lei's lightning bolt head-on.

BOOOM—

The clash shook the very foundations of the collapsing structure. A blinding flash filled the cavern, followed by a deafening boom that seemed to split the earth itself.
