In an abrupt manner the Asura Monarch claps his hands together as the bundle of flames vanished from sight.

[Hm...?]

Narrowing his eyes Yi looks to the Asura Monarch with an expression of suspicion. Closing his eyes to blink and reopening them in the next instance-

[...!]

Yi is treated to the sight of a three-colored radiance that is continuously intensifying in brightness.

This radiance originates from the Asura Monarch who is slowly prying his hands apart to reveal a flame made up of three different colors being black, white, and red.

[Did he succeed?]

With the manifestation of this flame that is the fusion of pure yin and pure yang energy both the positive and negative temperatures of heaven and earth rises.

[...]

Looking down at his left sleeve Yi can see that a layer of frost has covered it while on his right sleeve his own sweat had stained a part of it.

One might think that the presence of both positive and negative temperatures in an environment would create a type of balance but the truth is being subjected to the extreme forms of both temperatures at the same time isn't something of great comfort as one's body cannot adjusting to an environment that is as bizarre as this.

*BOOM!!!!!!* upon the Asura Monarch opening his hands fully the three-colored flame releases a powerful blast of scorching heat and frigid coldness that abruptly halts the approaches of the two swords!

Despite there being flakes of ember and diamond dust mixed into this blast they showed no signs of clashing with each other's existence as they complimented one another to create this blast of extreme heat and extreme cold!

*BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!* this blast of positive and negative heat didn't occur just once as the flame rapidly releases three more waves of it and continuously pushes the two swords back!

[...Hmm.]

Seeing the swords being pushed back in such a manner Yi can't help but frown as he raises his right hand.

With a flash of dark radiance a black piece of stone appears between Yi's index and middle finger.

[...]

Just as Yi is thinking of setting this stone down his instinct stops him in the act of lowering his right hand.

[.........]

In a game of chess one must often times read five moves ahead of their opponents and as someone who is no stranger to these sort of games Yi thought things through quickly.

*Clack.* tossing the black stone forward and having it land onto an individual grid Yi inwardly smiles in a roguish manner.

*BOOM!!!!!* as another blast of scorching heat and frigid coldness is unleashed by the flame the swords are thrown in the direction of Yi who outwardly puts on a look of surprise.

[Although my strength has weakened compared to the distant past that doesn't mean that I am incapable of the feats that mortals might consider impossible. In the end a monarch will always be a monarch.]

Raising his head the Asura Monarch looks to Yi and waves his right arm to toss the three-colored flame in his direction!

From a distance away the flame doesn't seem to be moving that fast but as seconds pass the flame grows larger and larger until it starts to resemble a flower that's in the midst of blooming fully!
