Ao Bing did not respond, fully immersed in the Secret Technique. As the final syllable of the incantation fell, a massive Azure Dragon Shadow rose from the formation, a manifestation of the ancient power of the Dragon Tribe, majestic and terrifying.
The dragon shadow let out a long howl that shook the entire Flame Island. The Li Yang Sect Cultivators were filled with terror and fled in all directions. Lady Shiji's expression changed, but she quickly steadied herself, forming hand seals to activate the Sea Stabilizing Needle in an attempt to resist.
"Come forth, remnants of the Dragon Tribe! Today, I will ensure your complete annihilation!" Lady Shiji laughed maniacally, channeling all her strength into the Sea Stabilizing Needle.
The divine needle emitted a blinding golden light as it collided with the Azure Dragon Shadow, creating an astonishing wave of energy. Ao Bing felt as though he was at the center of a storm, his strength visibly draining away, yet he persisted, guiding the dragon shadow to attack Lady Shiji.
"Your Highness! Retreat!" Ao Run broke through the encirclement and rushed to Ao Bing's side. "The Secret Technique has been activated; if you don't leave now, it will be too late!"
Ao Bing shook his head, his voice weak yet resolute. "No, it’s not enough. Lady Shiji has not been defeated yet; the Sea Stabilizing Needle is still in her hands. You all retreat first; take the information back to the Dragon Palace and tell Father... I did my best."
Tears welled in Ao Run's eyes as he realized he could not change the Crown Prince's mind. He could only order the Dragon Warriors to withdraw. Soon, only Ao Bing, the Azure Dragon Shadow, Lady Shiji, and a few stubborn Li Yang Sect Cultivators remained on the battlefield.
"Your Highness, such a touching spirit of sacrifice," Lady Shiji mocked. "But are you not afraid of death? Once the Secret Technique is completed, you will lose your dragon power forever and may even die immediately!"
Ao Bing smiled calmly. "To die for my clan is no regret."
He closed his eyes and poured his last ounce of strength into the formation. The Azure Dragon Shadow suddenly expanded, enveloping the entire altar. Ao Bing could feel his life force rapidly depleting, but he maintained his seal until he ensured that the dragon shadow had completely locked onto Lady Shiji.
In a flash of lightning and fire, the dragon shadow lunged forward, crashing directly into Lady Shiji and the Sea Stabilizing Needle. A deafening explosion echoed through the skies, and blinding light turned Flame Island into a realm of day.
When the light faded, the altar lay in ruins, and nearly all Li Yang Sect Cultivators had been thrown away by the shockwave of the dragon shadow. Lady Shiji still floated in mid-air but was clearly weakened; her robe was tattered and her breath was disordered. More importantly, the Sea Stabilizing Needle had flown from her grasp and landed in the center of the altar.
"Damn Dragon Tribe!" Lady Shiji gritted her teeth. "How dare you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Ao Bing had already used his last bit of strength to rush toward the Sea Stabilizing Needle. His legs could barely support his weight; each step felt like walking on blades, yet he continued forward with determination.
Lady Shiji sensed his intent and immediately launched an attack. Flames in the form of spears pierced toward Ao Bing, leaving scars on his body; yet he seemed oblivious to the pain as he pressed on.
Finally, Ao Bing's hand touched the Sea Stabilizing Needle. A familiar energy surged into him, but he had no dragon power left to guide it. He knew there was only one choice left—to detonate the power of the Sea Stabilizing Needle and perish alongside Lady Shiji.
"Old friend, lend me your final bit of strength..." Ao Bing whispered to the Sea Stabilizing Needle as if it were a sentient being.
The divine needle seemed to respond to his call with a faint glow. Ao Bing infused it with his last shred of life force before raising it high and aiming at Lady Shiji.
"No!" Lady Shiji retreated in horror. "Are you crazy? If you do this, you will perish too!"
Ao Bing smiled calmly. "To die protecting the Dragon Tribe is no regret."
