With a single swift motion, Yuan waved his hand, conjuring multiple dark green insects that materialized in the space around them.
Kai’s gaze remained fixated on Yuan as he went on to perform a series of intricate hand seals, each seal imbuing the insects with newfound energy. With every passing moment, the insects grew in size, their bodies pulsating with an ominous green glow that seemed to throb with a malevolent power.
Soon, a dense green mist began to emanate from their enlarged forms, filling the surrounding area with a noxious haze that whispered of impending doom.
Effortlessly, the mist coalesced into a protective dome, encapsulating both Kai and Yuan within its ethereal boundaries.
A glimmer of excitement danced within Kai’s eyes as he observed the swirling currents of the toxic gas encircling him. "I can assume this is far from a ordinary gas, correct?" he inquired, his voice tinged with an equal measure of curiosity and amusement.
Yuan’s grin widened, laced with a mixture of arrogance and disdain. "It appears I overestimated your intellect. You truly are an imbecile," he sneered, his voice dripping with condescension.
Unfazed by Yuan’s derisiveness, Kai maintained his innocent facade and pressed further. "Could you enlighten me, brother Yuan?"
Delighting in the opportunity to demonstrate his knowledge, Yuan assumed an air of superiority. "These insects are none other than the infamous Underworld Valley Insects, known throughout the world for their unparalleled venomous nature," he explained, his voice tinged with a hint of pride. Then, pointing towards the swirling green miasma, Yuan continued, "And that green gas is none other than the dreaded Underworld Valley Poison, a concoction of the most vile and potent toxins to ever plague existence. Even a late stage seventh-Order realm expert would struggle against its ravages."
Kai nodded, absorbing the weight of the revelation. "Ah, I see now. So it was through the utilization of these elements that you got rid of those bothersome experts with such ease."
A frigid glint flashed in Yuan’s eyes, accompanied by a malicious smile. "Indeed. And soon, you too shall succumb to the same fate."
Kai’s head shook gently, his countenance unyielding. "Death by the Underworld Poison? I’m afraid that’s highly improbable," he chuckled, his voice resolute and filled with confidence.
At that very moment, an extraordinary transformation began to wash over Kai. His entire form shivered and shimmered, bathed in an ethereal luminescence that seemed to transcend mortal comprehension. In a spectacle reminiscent of a celestial rebirth, Kai’s body underwent a stunning metamorphosis, taking on the form of a magnificent dragonfly. Translucent wings emerged from his back, their surface a symphony of iridescent hues that defied language. With each graceful beat, the wings sliced through the toxic gas, absorbing and transmuting its malevolence into a source of unparalleled strength.
Unwavering in the face of peril, Kai embraced the oncoming onslaught of the Underworld Valley Poison. Rather than succumbing to its venomous embrace, his body assimilated the toxin, utilizing it as fuel for his metamorphosis. The lethal poison intertwined with his essence, amplifying his power with each passing moment.
As realization dawned upon Yuan, his face contorted into an ugly mask of disbelief and frustration. "Y... You... the Nether Dragonfly Physique?!" he stammered, his voice quivering with a blend of fear and revelation.
In Kai’s eyes, a mischievous glimmer danced, reflecting the triumph he felt. "Ah, so dear brother Yuan is familiar with it?" he chuckled, his voice laced with a hint of intrigue.
Yuan’s laughter burst forth, filled with bitterness and resentment. Countless hours of research had been dedicated to understanding this particular physique, all in an attempt to master control over the Underworld Valley Poison. Of course, he was aware of its existence.
Lost in his thoughts, Yuan’s guard momentarily faltered. Seizing the opportunity, Kai materialized in front of him without a warning. Reacting instinctively, Yuan raised his hand and summoned a wall of insects to shield himself.
Unperturbed by Yuan’s desperate maneuver, Kai’s smile only widened. With a graceful wave of his hand, an ethereal mist coalesced, engulfing the insects and rendering them utterly motionless. The once menacing creatures, now frozen in their tracks, became mere puppets under Kai’s command.
"The Underworld insects?" Kai chortled heartily. "They cannot compare with the might of my Nether Dragonfly Physique."
Rather than succumbing to panic, Yuan’s sneer of defiance grew stronger. Swiftly, he waved his hand once more, causing the insects to rapidly swell in size until they reached their limit. In a brilliant display of defiance, they exploded one after another, unleashing a cataclysmic burst of destruction capable of shattering even a small planet. The air crackled with raw energy as shockwaves rippled through the space, dispersing debris in all directions.
Amidst the chaos, Kai stood unwavering, a radiant metamorphosis beginning to unfold before Yuan’s eyes.
His skin shimmered with a translucent brilliance, each pore radiating a delicate luminosity. A myriad of crystalline structures burst forth, enveloping every inch of Kai’s transformed body. The crystals gleamed with an otherworldly glow, casting vibrant hues of cerulean, emerald, and amethyst in all directions. Their harmonious formation acted as a protective shield, deflecting the destructive waves that had just passed through him, leaving him unscathed.
Kai’s laughter echoed through the air, mingling with the swirling remnants of destruction. "Brother Yuan, is that all you have?" his voice rang out with a blend of confidence and amusement.
Meanwhile, Yuan’s expression contorted with unsightliness, his eyes reflecting a mix of confusion and disbelief. His gaze remained fixed on Kai’s newfound transformation, and without a shadow of a doubt, he recognized it as the renowned Crystal Harmony Physique. How was it possible for Kai to possess not just one, but two Heavenly Physiques simultaneously?
Regaining his composure, Yuan waved his hand with purpose. Instantly, a gray fist-sized pill materialized before him. With deft movements and an array of intricate seals, he channeled his energy into the pill, causing it to emit a resplendent glow before transforming into shimmering silver sword.
Kai eyes narrowed as he looked at the pill that just transferred into sword, he had never seen or heard about something like that before, but nevertheless he reminded carefree and unconcerned, as if everything is already with his hands.
With the shimmering silver sword in his hand, Yuan lunged forward, his movements swift and precise. He brought the blade down in a powerful arc, aiming to catch Kai off guard.
However, Kai swiftly evaded the attack, his dragonfly-like wings propelling him effortlessly through the air. He countered with a flurry of lightning-quick strikes, each blow carrying the force of his Crystal Harmony Physique.
Yuan retaliated with a fierce flurry of sword strikes, each accompanied by a burst of golden flames and crackling lightning.
Kai effortlessly dodged and weaved through the onslaught, his crystalline wings shimmering with iridescent hues. He unleashed a barrage of poison-infused winds, sending toxic gusts swirling towards Yuan. The winds twisted and turned, searing through Yuan’s defenses and leaving trails of corrosive destruction in their wake.
But Yuan was not one to be easily defeated. With a surge of determination, he summoned his Scared Heart flame, its golden brilliance intensifying with each passing moment. The flames swirled around Yuan’s sword, empowering his attacks and adding a scorching element to his strikes.
Sensing the growing threat, Kai swiftly entered his ethereal state, rendering himself intangible and immune to Yuan’s physical attacks. The silver sword passed harmlessly through his crystalline form, eliciting a frustrated growl from Yuan. Undeterred, Yuan channeled his flames into lightning-infused strikes, hoping to disrupt Kai’s concentration and find a weakness.
Kai, attuned to the ebb and flow of energy, anticipated Yuan’s every move. He effortlessly sidestepped the lightning bolts, his crystalline barriers forming a protective shield against the onslaught. The barriers shimmered with a harmonious energy, nullifying the lightning’s destructive power and repelling the flames that clashed against them.

Determined to gain the upper hand, Yuan unleashed a series of devastating sword techniques. Each strike was imbued with lightning and flame, creating a deadly dance of destruction. Yet, Kai’s heightened perception allowed him to perceive the intricate patterns hidden within Yuan’s attacks. He swiftly countered with a precise beam of harmonious energy, honed with the power of Heaven and Earth.
The beam pierced through Yuan’s defenses, overwhelming the Sacred Heart flame and striking him directly.
Yuan’s body convulsed with pain as the harmonious energy surged through his veins, neutralizing the poison coursing within him. He staggered backward, his grip on the sword faltering.
With a surge of confidence, Kai seized the opportunity. He closed the distance between them in an instant, his crystalline wings slicing through the air with breathtaking speed. Yuan desperately attempted to summon his insects, but Kai’s ethereal form rendered them powerless and frozen in their tracks.
Before Yuan could react, Kai unleashed a devastating strike infused with the power of both the Nether Dragonfly and Crystal Harmony Physiques. The combined forces collided with Yuan, throwing him across the battlefield, his body crashing into the ground with a resounding thud.
