BOOM—!
The impact was devastating. Nian Shi's copies were actually pushed back by the two dragons.
The dozen copies, which had formed a perfect siege around Yue Bingyao, were thrown into complete disarray. They were forced on the defensive, their precise temporal attacks replaced by desperate parries and blocks against the twin whirlwinds of scale and fury.
From his vantage point, the prime Nian Shi observed the sudden shift. A slight frown creased his brow. This was... inconvenient. The power surge in the two dragons was beyond his calculations.
The emotional catalyst of their mother's death, combined with the last vestiges of the Tree of Life's power, had created a temporary but significant anomaly.
One of his copies, managing to create some distance, shouted towards him, "Their power is unstable but potent! We need to—"
BANG!
The copy's words were cut off as Long Qingxuan's tail, moving faster than thought, slammed into it, sending it crashing into a nearby rock formation.
