A thick, blinding bolt of purple lightning tore through the black sky, plunging straight down like a divine lance toward her unsealed cauldron, determined to incinerate the arrogant pill attempting to defy the supreme laws of Heaven!
"Not on my watch!" Yilan spat softly, her voice dripping with absolute pride and defiance.
Instead of shrinking back, she stepped boldly into the tempest and slammed both palms firmly against the base of her furnace.
Her Spiritual Flame erupted wildly upward, weaving into a roaring, spinning protective lotus shield directly over the cauldron's opening!
BOOM—!
The purple lightning struck the azure lotus with deafening force.
Shockwaves of violent energy rippled across the enchanted defensive arrays of the arena, shattering the solid stone floor beneath Yilan's feet into fine, flying dust.
