As the spells were cast, Liew Yuei's intent to kill beca increasingly fierce.
Lu Yiye was always renowned for being able to defeat enemies across realms, and judging by this brief exchange, his reputation was not exaggerated. Therefore, he must not be allowed to grow further, or in a few years, he would not be a match.
With this thought, Liew Yuei's attacks beca more ruthless, completely devoid of hesitation, each spell aid with the intent to swiftly take the enemy's life. In an instant, within the ground fissure, spells flooded the scene, especially the several massive thunderbolts roaring in force.
The Tianyuan Sect was known for producing magic cultivators, particularly those of the lightning type, possibly because of their sect-guarding treasure, the Destructive Lightning Spear.
Among the various spells, the lightning-type ones were the most savage and terrifying in destructiveness, and faster than other elent signs.
When these thunderbolts burst forth, they exploded like a thunderclap in clear skies, imdiately thwarting Lu Ye's offensive. As the Boulder Mountain Saber cleaved the thunderbolt, his entire body froze montarily, as lightning flickered swiftly across his surface.
Such an opportunity, how could Liew Yuei miss it? More thunderbolts were unleashed, directly charging towards Lu Ye, aiming for a lethal blow.
Lu Ye's hair stood on end, not from the lightning, but instinctively sensing danger. Rarely did he suffer before magic cultivators, not even in his previous confrontation with Yu Daiwei, where he did not fall much behind. But that battle was different from this one.
Yu Daiwei never intended to kill him; she was under Mount Tai's command to capture Lu Ye alive. So while she fought intensely with Lu Ye, there was no intent of a life-and-death struggle, nor did Lu Ye have such intent at that ti; that battle was simply to test his strength.
But this ti, both he and Liew Yuei harbored thoughts of killing each other, making their attacks ruthless beyond comparison.
Loud thunder approached, and Lu Ye's movents were still stiff. Facing such an offensive, evasion was impossible. In that mont of urgency, Amber crouched on his shoulder roared, leaping forward, its small body expanded in the wind, revealing its true form, with demonic power rolling, intimidating might unrestrained.
As the thunderbolt struck Amber, it instantly scorched its hide, causing it to shrink back to its cat-size, plumting straight into the fissure below.
A hand reached out, catching it. It was Lu Ye, who had managed to recover, lifting it and placing Amber back on his shoulder, once more advancing towards the storm of spells.
Having suffered once, Lu Ye beca more cautious as he proceeded, dodging Liew Yuei's spells where possible, and using saber light to counter those unavoidable, never touching the lightning-type spells.
Indeed, lightning-type spells were savage, with imnse power, but they had a major flaw—difficulty in control.
Unlike other spells, where magic cultivators could exert so control after casting, once the lightning-type spells were unleashed, they were gone due to their speed, making them impossible to control, giving Lu Ye room for evasion. Naturally, his eyes must be sharp and actions quick, otherwise, he would still be struck.
The environnt below the fissure was complex; for True Lake Realm cultivators, it might greatly affect their movents, but for Divine Sea Realm cultivators, who could monitor with their ntal consciousness, the impact was less significant.

Two figures quickly darted from the fissure, one chasing the other, leaving behind chaotic spirit forces in their wake.
Lu Ye increasingly felt the absence of ans to quickly approach an enemy. He had felt this in his last confrontation with Yu Daiwei, but it was more pronounced this ti.
If he could rapidly close in on the enemy, not to ntion a Divine Sea Level 7 like Liew Yuei, even a Level 9 wouldn't withstand a few cleaves from him if she was a fragile magic cultivator.
If facing a sa-level magic cultivator, given Lu Ye's skills, getting close wouldn't be too difficult, as magic cultivators' speed is greatly affected when casting spells, giving Lu Ye an opportunity to approach.
However, since returning to the Nine Provinces, he had encountered two female magic cultivators—one a Divine Sea Level 8, the other a Level 7—whose cultivation far surpassed his. This disparity in cultivation cannot be bridged, making it difficult to close in.
Lu Ye initially considered feigning weakness and then launching a sudden attack to settle matters decisively, but after less than ten breaths of exchange, he abandoned the plan.
Although Liew Yuei was a woman, she was also an experienced combatant, and as a magic cultivator, would not easily give him the opportunity to get close.
Moreover, during their fierce combat, Lu Ye distinctly felt powerful presences awakening below the fissure. These were undoubtedly Divine Sea-grade Insects, likely stirred by the battle above.
What made things even more uncomfortable was that these powerful insects were rapidly approaching from below.
If the Insect Race intervened in their battleground, the situation would inevitably beco chaotic, making it difficult to kill Liew Yuei.
Should Liew Yuei escape today, the fact about Li Taibai being his doppelganger would surely be exposed.
They can't continue fighting like this; no retreat can be left for Liew Yuei, nor for himself.
With so many things to avoid, it was ti to go all out!
Lu Ye raised his hand, took out an object, infused it with spirit force, and launched it directly at Liew Yuei.
Liew Yuei noticed Lu Ye's subtle movent and saw a ball of light swiftly coming towards her, hastily casting spells to intercept it. Though she didn't know what Lu Ye had thrown, she was still guarded against it.
To her surprise, none of the spells could intercept it effectively; hitting that ball of light felt like missing entirely.
Within the mystical realm, an inexplicable force descended from the sky, landing upon her, resonating with the ball of light.
Only then did Liew Yuei see clearly what was within that ball of light.
Combat arena!
How could she be unfamiliar with this? Back then, when Lu Ye ca to Jinglan Lake Pass to recruit Xiao Xinghe, he had used the combat arena, resulting in the death of one of her capable subordinates, thwarting her plans.
Unexpectedly, after two or three years, Lu Yiye once again summoned the combat arena, and this ti it was against her.
In the combat arena, it's a fight to the death, and only one person can walk out alive.
Liew Yuei was filled with furious anger. She admitted that Lu Yiye was formidable, with the ability to defeat enemies beyond his level, evident from their brief encounter. However, surpassing one's level also has its limits!
What gives him such confidence that he dares to summon the combat arena against her!
There was no ti for deep thought, as a flash of light ca and went, and the figures of Lu Ye and Liew Yuei simultaneously disappeared from where they stood. The intense spirit force fluctuations slowly subsided, but beneath the ground fissure, the rustling noises grew louder, until monts later, a large number of Insect Race crawled out from the deep underground, led by several Divine Sea Realm insects, swarming outward.
In the space of the combat arena, the mont Liew Yuei appeared, she spread her ntal Consciousness and quickly locked onto Lu Ye's position, just a few dozen feet away, with little change in distance from before they entered the combat arena.
But the scene that t her eyes startled her, for Lu Ye's appearance had changed dramatically. His entire being was enveloped in dense blood Qi, radiating a blood-red glow.
His figure had noticeably grown taller, becoming more slender, and his aura had beco quite peculiar, with traces of demonic power intermingled, but undeniably, his aura had beco extrely fierce and oppressive at this mont.
Upon closer examination, Lu Yiye had a tail made of spirit force behind him, and the character for "king" faintly appeared on his forehead.
This appearance would make those unaware think he was an incompletely transford mber of the Demon Race.
But Liew Yuei knew this was the Beast Transformation Secret Technique of the beast-taming faction!
Among the Nine Provinces, there are nurous factions, and the beast-taming faction is just one. However, the status of the beast-taming faction has always been awkward because their strength depends entirely on the quantity and quality of the demon beasts they control. And because they rely too much on external force, like the cover armorer faction, they can't progress far in cultivation, though there are many cultivators, truly powerful ones are few.
But this situation changed a few years ago.
Within the Heaven's Augury treasure vault of the Nine Provinces appeared so jade slips about the supre secrets of the beast-taming faction, which beca the scriptures revered by many cultivators of the beast-taming faction.
There are also beast-taming cultivators within the Tianyuan Sect, so Liew Yuei wasn't completely ignorant of these matters. She knew that the beast-taming faction's strongest secret was the Beast Transformation Secret Technique, which involved rging with one's natal demon beast.
Lu Yiye actually also practiced the beast-taming faction?
This guy always had a demon beast with him, and monts ago, that demon beast even sacrificed itself to protect him, blocking one of her Thunderbolts with its own body.
It was within reason that Lu Yiye practiced the beast-taming faction as well.
But what Liew Yuei didn't expect was that this guy could actually perform the Beast Transformation Secret Technique! This was sothing many cultivators primarily focused on beast-taming couldn't achieve. Those secret techniques had been in the Heaven's Augury treasure vault for several years, and almost every cultivator of the beast-taming faction would buy a copy to study. Yet, to this day, how many have truly rged with their natal demon beast?
At the very least, Liew Yuei had never heard of anyone accomplishing this.
Today was the first ti witnessing such a sight.
Incredible, for a combat cultivator to have developed a doppelganger secret and mastered the strongest secret of beast-taming, what a monstrous aptitude.
Though many thoughts flashed through her mind, it didn't hinder her from raising her hand to kill the enemy. Continual volleys of magic and spells, sustaining a relentless offensive, was always the unfailing thod for a magic cultivator to kill their foes.
An enemy might withstand one or two spells, but as long as the tempo of the attacks remained in the magic cultivator's hands, the enemy would invariably make mistakes amid the chaos.
But as Lu Ye moved, Liew Yuei's heart jolted with a shock.
In the instant the red light flickered, she nearly lost track of Lu Ye.
Compared to before, Lu Ye's current speed could be described as skyrocketing, far more agile in maneuvering and dodging than just monts ago.
It wasn't solely the result of Beast Transformation; the Bloodstain Spirit Runes also provided their enhancent.
Having decided to go all out, there was no need for reservation, so the mont he entered the combat arena, Lu Ye exploded a drop of Essence Blood, using its might to activate Bloodstain and spur Beast Transformation.
Everything was just as he had envisioned in the Blood Refinent World. The power of Essence Blood saved him a lot of ti, allowing him to unleash his trump card without having to gradually accumulate power.
During his charge, his body moved like a Wandering Dragon.
Amber's childish voice echoed in his mind, "Use in the great battle, use to be invincible!"
