In the sky above, two dragon shadows met in an instant, and under the gaze of countless eyes below the stage, they suddenly collided!
The moment they collided, a thunderous explosion echoed through the sky, causing some of the weaker ones below to cover their ears, looking astonished at the two dragons colliding on the platform.
Since water naturally restrains fire, unless it's a large amount of fire and a small amount of water, or extremely high temperature fire and a small amount of water, the Fire Dragon was suppressed at first contact with the Ice Dragon, being slowly pushed back in the air.
At this level, opposing attributes are very important; even a slight advantage can turn into a huge one, especially since Ma Feiyun is proficient in the Five Elements Immortal Technique.
What Ye Tianfan didn't know was that the power of the Ice Dragon was not excessively suppressing the Fire Dragon. Although there was some suppression, it wasn't to the extent of directly pushing the Fire Dragon backward. The reason for the retreat was that Ma Feiyun didn't simply use water-attributed Spiritual Qi but added something more.
According to the mutual generation and overcoming of the Five Elements, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water; so water suppresses fire. Water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, so if water attribute Immortal Technique is to be more powerful, one should add some metal attribute Spiritual Qi.
What Ma Feiyun added was gold-attributed Spiritual Qi, making his Ice Dragon more powerful.
That's why Ma Feiyun's Ice Dragon could so obviously suppress Ye Tianfan's Fire Dragon. Of course, Ye Tianfan didn't know this. Although he understood the mutual generation and suppression of attributes, he never thought of it this way.
Seeing his Fire Dragon being suppressed and constantly retreating, Ye Tianfan gritted his teeth. Should he infuse more Spiritual Power into it? It didn't seem worth it to waste so much Spiritual Power for one Immortal Technique. Not infusing would make him weaker, and there was a possibility that if he abandoned the Fire Dragon and turned to attack himself, Ma Feiyun could cast another Immortal Technique, forcing him to face two powerful Immortal Techniques. In that case, it seemed there was no other way but to release the Xuanhuang Tower.
Dodge? Although the platform looked quite large, there wasn't much space to actually dodge, and if he dodged, it would allow Ma Feiyun to gather more strength, and by then, he might summon a few more dragons and directly set up a Five Elements Array.
Defensive Immortal Technique? Taihuo Peak's attack Immortal Techniques are more abundant; even though there are defensive techniques, their defensive strength isn't that great, merely obstructive at best. Truly defending against a move? Except for wood attribute Immortal Techniques, others can hardly block effectively. Even if somehow successfully defensive, all his energy would be tied to maintaining the defense, giving Ma Feiyun chances to continue casting Immortal Techniques.
Summon another one? When one is already weaker; summoning another would be even more of a drain on Spiritual Power. Don't expect Ma Feiyun to just stand there during the summoning; he would probably summon another dragon himself, leaving Ye Tianfan with two weaker Fire Dragons and an even bigger predicament.
Considering all this, infusing more Spiritual Power into the Fire Dragon seemed more suitable. So Ye Tianfan continued to infuse Spiritual Power into the Fire Dragon.
Ye Tianfan doesn't want to conserve Spiritual Power by keeping ninety percent or eighty percent but by avoiding exhaustion and excessive consumption. As long as two or three-tenths remain, that's fine, and in about three to five days, his Spiritual Power should recover to about seventy or eighty percent. Ye Tianfan wanted to conserve his Spiritual Power because he feared that excessive consumption would prevent full recovery in a day or two, thus not allowing him to be in top form for the final battle.
As for the opponent's recovery speed, Ye Tianfan worried the opponent might consume less, recovering full Spiritual Power overnight.
But considering this situation, avoiding excessive consumption seemed unlikely, especially since Ma Feiyun acted as if his Spiritual Qi reserves were endless. Despite appearing breathless, he showed no signs of Spiritual Power overexertion, as his Immortal Technique's firepower remained strong.
Actually, Ma Feiyun appeared to be overexerting because his techniques burst with too much intensity, rapidly depleting his Spiritual Power, making him feel empty and invaded by a hollow sense of discomfort, hence appearing overexerted.
In reality, though Ma Feiyun consumed a lot, his recovery speed was also fast. Within his body, the five attributes of Spiritual Qi mutually generated and counteracted each other, accelerating each other's recovery, so much so that even if there were no external Spiritual Qi, Ma Feiyun's internal Spiritual Qi would regenerate, restoring his energy.
Though that speed was slow, if there were external qi supplies, even a single element increased the speed significantly compared to normal meditation. With the five external attributes available, the speed was exceptionally fast, even surpassing others' meditation recovery speed.
Of course, it wasn't that as fast to regain as consumed, but to put it this way, Ma Feiyun could recover all his Spiritual Power in a day without meditation, and with meditation, it would take only three to five hours.
This is Ma Feiyun's innate talent. No one else cultivates all five elements' Immortal Techniques as he does, with all five as primary cultivations. Others typically focus on one or two, with auxiliary understanding of the rest, simply to release minor Immortal Techniques for tasks like lighting a fire, creating drinking water, making a small pot, building a mud hut, or growing a fruit tree. After all, attribute counteraction is no joke, and it can cause internal imbalance and even lead to madness.
Ma Feiyun is different, seemingly born to master these five element Immortal Techniques. The five attributes of Spiritual Qi in him are quiet and stable without any disruption. The Five Element counteraction? It seems non-existent in him. The Five Element generation! The generating speed is incredibly fast, almost as if his internal counteraction turned into a generation, differing from others' internal rules of generation and counteraction, as his involve generation and more generation, without counteraction at all.
He can even mix water and fire attributed Spiritual Qi without any other reaction, looking quite beautiful together, blue mixed with red, red with blue.
In recorded history within the cultivation world, those who have achieved such a balanced Five Elements state like Ma Feiyun can be counted on one hand.
If Ye Tianfan is a prodigy in cultivation, then Ma Feiyun is a genius in Immortal Techniques. The same Immortal Technique, in Ma Feiyun's hands, would have several times the power it would in Ye Tianfan's.
