Chapter 1106: The Power of the Heavenly Sword Descends

The next moment, the Fire Dragon ceased its simple roaring attacks. Instead, it accelerated its flight, using its massive body to exert immense physical pressure on Lingyao.

The Fire Dragon lightly clawed at the void, and within a hundred-meter radius of Lingyao, the space became completely confined. Lingyao herself found her movements inexplicably locked in place.

"I truly didn't expect you to possess a part of the Void Law's power," Lingyao remarked. "While your understanding of the Void Law pales in comparison to my boss, Xu Yang, your ability to wield it so effortlessly in combat certainly ranks you as an absolute top-tier powerhouse among demon dragons."

Lingyao couldn't help but nod in acknowledgment. Her calm demeanor suggested she had already devised a counter-strategy. As expected, in the very next moment, Lingyao unleashed her signature technique once more: the Way of the Sky Sword, originating from her true form.

Countless sword glints materialized unexpectedly around the void, once again imposing an incredibly potent sword-based blockade upon the Fire Dragon hovering above.

This time, the Fire Dragon seemed to detect a hint of danger within the surrounding sword glints. Without hesitation, it began to reinforce its crimson scales, each one forged from the purest essence of life. These fire-attributed scales, a testament to the Fire Dragon's glory and status, fully showcased its formidable defensive capabilities.

As anticipated, Lingyao launched her offensive. Thousands of void sword glints converged simultaneously on the Fire Dragon's central position. Yet, the Fire Dragon did not employ any more potent defensive techniques. It simply relied on its incredibly pure physical scales to withstand Lingyao's terrifying sword formation head-on.

"Soul of the Sky Sword, descend!" Seizing the opportune moment, Lingyao unhesitatingly manifested the Sky Sword's true form—her most potent innate sword glint—which completely enveloped her physical body.

The sword aura emanating from this true-form sword glint far surpassed any other sword mark in the void. Once unleashed, this strike would embody the absolute peak power of Lingyao's sword path.

She had unleashed one of her trump cards earlier than expected, seeking to gauge the Fire Dragon's defensive limits and, based on that assessment, formulate her subsequent combat strategy.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Without a clear evaluation of her opponent's maximum capabilities, any further engagement would simply be a meaningless waste of time.

Lingyao had perfectly inherited Xu Yang's excellent combat philosophy. She never launched blind attacks; instead, before every move, she meticulously formulated a comprehensive battle plan in her mind. This methodical approach allowed Lingyao to achieve astounding reversals, even when fighting at a disadvantage.

However, Lingyao was uncertain if she could replicate her past successes this time. Her opponent was the Fire Dragon, and after multiple rounds of engagement, Lingyao had developed a profound new understanding of it. This creature truly deserved its reputation as a paramount powerhouse among the demon dragon clan of the Endless Sea; its overall strength was undeniably formidable.

It is worth noting that Lingyao's current cultivation of the Way of the Sky Sword had reached a state of perfection. In terms of pure combat sword mastery, it would be difficult to find another individual on the entire Yingzhou Continent, besides Xu Yang, who could rival her level.

The sheer power of the sword energy unleashed when the Sky Sword's true form achieved the "man-sword unity" almost reached the maximum force the Demon Dragon Battlefield could withstand. The mere fluctuations of the sword glint's aura caused the entire space to vibrate. All the surrounding fiery mountains trembled and hummed under the oscillation of Lingyao's sword energy.

Indeed, even the arrogant Fire Dragon instinctively began to panic this time.

"Damn it, this little brat truly has some capabilities!" the Fire Dragon cursed mentally. "If I don't manifest my Fire Dragon Domain, I'm not sure I can withstand the power of this sword. But to unleash my strongest defensive profound art so quickly feels somewhat imprudent."

As the Fire Dragon's mind raced, desperately searching for a solution, Lingyao's terrifying Sky-Cleaving Sword already bore down upon it. With no other choice, the Fire Dragon finally decided to unleash its exclusive Flame Domain. In that instant, endless fiery elements rapidly converged upon its body.

Finally, the surrounding fiery mountains, which had been dormant throughout half the battle, seemed to awaken with new life upon the Fire Dragon's summons. They unleashed an ocean of fiery power, instantly engulfing both Lingyao and the Fire Dragon in the void's center, forming a massive vortex of flame that completely immobilized them.

"Hahahaha, little girl, I'd like to see what else you have to challenge me with this time!" the Fire Dragon roared. "This entire area is now completely sealed by my flame power; you have nowhere to escape. That sword was your ultimate reliance. Now, let's see how you intend to break my strongest flame defense barrier."

The Fire Dragon had clearly revealed its ultimate defensive trump card prematurely. However, Lingyao's only response was a faint, cold upturn of her lips.

"There's something you don't seem to realize," Lingyao calmly stated. "Before I came to Demon Dragon Island, my boss, Xu Yang, gave me a special lesson, imparting a portion of his Void Law. While I only have a rudimentary understanding, it's more than enough to deal with you."

True to her words, the Sky Sword's true form, which enveloped Lingyao, did not completely vanish. Instead, it condensed into an endless, brilliant light before fully disappearing from her surroundings and merging into the void.

At this very moment, Lingyao's incredibly potent soul power within her mind began to activate rapidly. It repeatedly applied void layering to the main Sky Sword glint, then broke through the void's dark expanse, delivering a devastating blow towards the Fire Dragon's body. Undoubtedly, after being augmented by the power of the void, this sword's might had more than doubled.

While Xu Yang, using the same technique, could now amplify his sword path's power by nearly twentyfold, that level was still far beyond Lingyao's current reach. Nevertheless, even a mere doubling of her original offensive capability was more than enough to pose a significant challenge for the Fire Dragon before her.

Indeed, the moment the reinforced Sky Sword descended with crushing force, the Fire Dragon was utterly dumbfounded. It remained suspended motionlessly in the void, sensing the most minute changes across every part of its body.

He could distinctly feel that his internal dragon veins had been severely shaken by this terrifying sword strike. If the battle were to prolong, the extended duration would only inflict greater damage to his draconic essence.
