BANG!!
With a deafening bang, an explosion erupted above the lake. Yun Lintian was flung back to the shore, his tattered white robe fluttering in the air, marred by blossoming stains of blood.
Meanwhile, Shi Xuan's colossal form bore the brunt of the attack, its surface marred with black wounds, a testament to the fierce battle.
"Cough!" Yun Lintian coughed, a metallic tang filling his mouth. He wiped the blood trickling down his chin, his eyes burning with a fierce determination that belied the exhaustion etched on his face.
Across the vast lake, Shi Xuan, the colossal manifestation of the Great Law of Death, stood panting slightly. Its form, once brimming with an aura of absolute power, was now riddled with cracks, emanating a faint, sickly sweet stench of decay.
Shi Xuan's voice boomed, echoing across the desolate landscape, "Impressive, little sprout. You've surpassed my initial expectations. Your grasp on the Great Law of Life and Death has grown considerably."
