At this moment, Qin Luo was unaware of Nuantang's intense emotional fluctuations. The spiritual energy around his body swirled continuously, like a nimble dragon, making his figure appear even more upright, like a pine tree standing tall.
Seeing the powerful spiritual energy emanating from Qin Luo, She Meirou's apprehension grew even stronger. She recalled her crushing defeat against Qin Luo last time; the nightmarish scene was still vivid in her mind. This man before her was the biggest obstacle to their attempt to seize the ancestral pool's opportunity, and also their most dangerous enemy.
Lin Shuo keenly sensed She Meirou's undisguised wariness, and a faint smile appeared on his lips:
"Since Miss Snake speaks of this man as so formidable, I, Lin Shuo, though limited in ability, would like to assess his true strength. Today, I will be the first to probe his capabilities and take the lead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shuo's aura suddenly surged.
Raise one hand upwards, palm facing upwards. In an instant, the surrounding moisture is drawn together by an invisible force.
The water vapor initially appeared as wisps of smoke, but after a moment it quickly condensed and swirled above his palm, forming a massive, sky-covering waterspout in the blink of an eye.
The waterspout rose from the ground, reaching a height of several thousand feet, resembling a giant pillar piercing the clouds.
It spun rapidly at an astonishing speed, emitting a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth, causing eardrums to ache and hearts to pound violently with the roar.
Inside the waterspout, the water rushes and crashes against each other, unleashing its immense power.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Shuo fixed his gaze on Qin Luo and pointed at him from a distance.
The waterspout rushed madly toward Qin Luo.
Wherever it went, everything was mercilessly swept up. On the ground, large patches of blood were drawn into the waterspout by the powerful suction, mingling with the rushing water and staining the originally transparent waterspout with an eerie blood color, making it look even more ferocious and terrifying.
Seeing Lin Shuo take the initiative, neither Die Mengying nor Li Ya said much.
Since some people are eager to test him, let them see just how capable Qin Luo really is.
But the snake spirit in the side cursed inwardly, for she knew all too well how terrifying Qin Luo was.
The strength Qin Luo displayed in their previous encounters had left an indelible mark on her; the fear of being crushed by his power still haunts her to this day.
The moment Lin Shuo made his move, She Meirou dared not relax in the slightest. Her spiritual energy surged wildly, and she revealed her true form.
A colossal ancient serpent appeared, its body thousands of feet long, its scales shimmering with a glassy light, each scale resembling a hard shield.
The ancient serpent's eyes glowed with a blood-red light as it gazed at Qin Luo in the distance.
"Swallowing Heaven and Transforming into Shadow!"
At the same time, the serpentine's fierce roar emanated from the ancient serpent's mouth, and a black hole thousands of feet in size silently formed above. The edges of the black hole distorted space, emitting a buzzing sound, greedily devouring all surrounding matter.
The people around her stared in astonishment at what they saw.
Die Mengying asked with a look of surprise:
"This snake spirit Rou actually used her trump card right from the start. It seems that what she said before was indeed true, otherwise she wouldn't be so afraid of this human."
Liya also dropped his nonchalant expression, staring intently at the black hole, and murmured as he looked at the terrifying power that even he feared:
"Goodness, this is quite a commotion."
At this moment, the waterspout, carrying boundless power, rushed towards Qin Luo.
Seeing this, Qin Luo took a deep breath, and the four spiritual energies around him—purple, jade, silver, and icy—instantly stirred and rapidly covered his body like swimming dragons.
In the blink of an eye, these spiritual energies intertwined and formed magnificent four-colored patterns, each pattern shimmering with a strange light and containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.
At the same time, Qin Luo took a step forward, and his aura suddenly surged. The blood-red ground beneath his feet continued to boil, and a powerful aura spread outwards from him, instantly reaching the peak below the Saint level.
The overwhelming aura caused the surrounding air to freeze, and even the watching Butterfly Dream Shadow and Gripper couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
"What a pity," Qin Luo frowned slightly, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes, and muttered to himself, "It seems that without reaching the fifth transformation of the Myriad Manifestations of Heaven and Earth, it is still impossible to amplify to the level of the Saint Realm."
After speaking, Qin Luo stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm as still water, his eyes reflecting the surging waterspout, yet showing no ripples.
He slowly raised his other hand, palm facing upward, and the Primordial Breath merged with the four-colored spiritual light around him, dazzling and brilliant.
As Qin Luo slowly closed his five fingers, this seemingly gentle gesture of grasping in the air caused large ripples in space to spread out in front of him, one circle after another. Wherever the ripples reached, space was distorted and deformed.
These spatial ripples rapidly spread toward the waterspout, and in the blink of an eye, they made contact with it.
The waterspout, which was thousands of feet high, was easily cut into by the spatial ripples. Wherever it passed, the originally turbulent and wildly spinning water flow lost control and became chaotic.
In the blink of an eye, the seemingly invincible waterspout shattered amidst the ripples in space.
Countless water droplets splashed out and fell in mid-air, forming a spectacular "water rain".
Watching from afar, Die Mengying and Li Ya's expressions grew increasingly shocked upon seeing this scene. Even Lin Shuo's contemptuous gaze darkened, but the next moment, a chilling sense of crisis suddenly arose.
To everyone's surprise, Qin Luo, who had been in the rain, had already disappeared.
Die Mengying's eyes widened. Even with her keen senses, she could only barely catch a blurry four-colored afterimage, so fast that it was hard to grasp.
Liya was so astonished that he couldn't close his mouth, and unconsciously tightened his grip on his spiked club: "What... what kind of speed is this?"
Before they could recover from their shock, Qin Luo suddenly appeared in front of Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo's pupils contracted sharply as a strong sense of death threatened to overwhelm him.
He instinctively tried to dodge, but Qin Luo was too fast, and he didn't have time to make any effective defensive moves.
Qin Luo was surrounded by surging spiritual energy of four colors. He raised his right fist, and the force gathered on his fist caused the space around him to break and recombine repeatedly!
The punch, carrying a devastating force, landed heavily on Lin Shuo's chest.
Suddenly, a piercing sound like metal clashing resounded throughout the space. The sound was sharp and long, as if it were determined to tear one's eardrums apart!
