X-Dragon Era

With Xin Yun's current strength, as soon as he executed Soaring Clouds and Mist, in just an instant, centered on Yinglong, endless clouds and fog appeared within a thousand-meter radius. Yinglong's body would also be obscured by the clouds and fog, which could indeed be described as seeing the head of the Divine Dragon but not the tail.

What are clouds, and what is fog? Although it might not be entirely correct, according to Xin Yun's understanding, what's in the sky is called a cloud, and what's near the ground is fog—they are actually the same thing.

Of course, this so-called Soaring Clouds and Mist was only preliminarily mastered by Xin Yun, and the density of the clouds and fog was very low, but Xin Yun believed that with the enhancement of his strength, the density of these clouds and fog would gradually increase.

Moreover, the effect of this cloud and fog wasn't merely to obscure the body. Under the cover of the clouds and fog, Yinglong's strength also improved to a certain extent, and most importantly, this cloud and fog wasn't the harmless kind found in nature. From a distance, the cloud of fog appeared a pale azure, possessing the ability to acidically corrode.

Once entering the area of fog, one would continuously suffer from the corrosion of the acid fog, and once corroded, the acid poison would penetrate the body, causing Xin Yun's opponents to enter various negative states under the influence of the acid poison, such as sluggishness, weakness, enervation... states afflicted by the acid poison.

Although this Soaring Clouds and Mist wasn't an offensive combat technique, it wasn't merely a pure support either, but rather a formidable ability that combined defense, attack, and support.

Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying both felt very uncomfortable with Xin Yun's newly comprehended Soaring Clouds and Mist, since even though the corrosiveness of the acid fog was not strong at the moment, it still had an effect to some degree, especially on Yi Luo Xiang's Flash Butterfly. With each appearance, the beautiful and huge wings of the Flash Butterfly suffered greatly from the corrosion.

What made the two girls feel the most helpless, under the coverage of the acid fog, Xin Yun was like a ghost in and out of sight. In Xin Yun's own words, this was like seeing the head of the Divine Dragon but not the tail—it was not only hard to attack him but even finding his position was difficult.

Even though the acid fog was still thin, within it, one could only see about ten meters around, and the acid fog enveloped a thousand-meter radius, clinging like clouds and not dispersing, making it incredibly uncomfortable.

The most frustrating was that the acid fog was a pale blue, and the Yinglong that Xin Yun controlled was also this color. Since Yinglong's body was semi-transparent, even up close, it was difficult to discern at a glance. Under the veil of the acid fog, Xin Yun seemed to be everywhere yet nowhere to be found.

What's most crucial is, under the coverage of the acid fog, the power of Xin Yun's acidic spray and thunderbolt attacks both increased slightly, and although the increase was not significant, it was quite apparent. Thus, later on, the mere mention of battling Xin Yun made the two girls feel a headache, pain... too painful.

Yet, no matter how much the girls suffered, Xin Yun didn't relax in the slightest, insisting on daily combat training without a day's break, and he was utterly ruthless, leaving the girls distraught and wanting to cry. Later on, just seeing Yinglong would strike fear into their hearts, their lovely faces turning ghostly pale at a glance.

Of course, while Xin Yun was strong, truly defeating the two girls was not an easy task. After all, they weren't pushovers to be kneaded at will—each of them had their own special skills.

Take Yi Luo Xiang for example, once her shadow was seen, she would immediately send a Soul Impact. With Yi Luo Xiang's abnormal Power of the Soul, even Xin Yun would be dazed for a while, and in that brief moment, Yi Luo Xiang would have already commanded the Emperor Purple Sword Dragon to launch a few Sword Qi at Xin Yun.

Then there was Yan Qingying, piloting the Phantom Spider Dragon, who could emit countless clones at any time, and as soon as any clone spotted him, they would immediately shoot Spider Silk far towards Xin Yun.

If it were just one strand of Spider Silk, it would be one thing, but there were simply too many clones. As soon as one clone spotted him, the surrounding clones would immediately pounce over. Although Xin Yun wasn't afraid of physical attacks, dozens of Phantom Spiders spitting silk at once could instantly wrap Xin Yun into a cocoon.

Just being wrapped up isn't the worst of it—the scary part is... once entangled by this Spider Silk, the Phantom Spiders would release Spider Poison through the silk, paralyzing and poisoning the target.

Luckily, Xin Yun's Yinglong was formed by true water and was impervious to any toxins, but Yan Qingying had other tricks up her sleeve. Not afraid of poison, huh? She could still handle you. Through the Spider Silk, Yan Qingying could quickly drain Yinglong's energy, and after converting it, replenish the energy she had used up.

Horrible, cruel... that was the true representation of Yan Qingying's Phantom Spider. Once entangled, it was nothing but aggravation. That was where Yan Qingying's real strength lay. The reason she seemed so unremarkable before was to avoid crushing Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang's confidence. After all...

she was an expert of the Fifteen Stars Silver rank, far stronger than Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang.

In the three months that had passed, aside from Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang successfully breaking through to Nine Stars, Yan Qingying was also finally approaching Six Stars Silver. In a few more months, she would certainly be able to break through smoothly.

Furthermore, Yi Luo Xiang's Sword Dragon Purple Emperor had also successfully advanced to Seven Stars Bronze just two stars behind Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang. This showed how greatly the grade of the Dragon Creation Stone affected cultivation. Explore more stories with empire

The higher the grade of the Dragon Creation Stone, the slower the cultivation progressed, but at the same rank, a higher-grade Dragon Creation Stone meant more energy.
