Prison Island’s god stared full of shock at the spectral transformed Little Hidden Dragon. It found it very hard to believe that there was an Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon, famous for their strength and defense, that could use such strange movement and speed methods!

The Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon’s greatest advantage lay in its body composition. While it couldn’t be considered slow, it was far less nimble than demons and wing type soul pets.

However, this small Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon had used a movement method that was more nimble than wing types and more demonic than demons. It was practically like a fish in the water! 

Prison Island’s god knew that the condensed mist no longer had anymore bewildering effects on the small dragon. Thus, it beat its wings and dispersed the wind, showing its body. It planned on facing the small Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon head on! 

Seeing the spectral blue colored small dragon rise out of the water, yet not induce any ripples, Prison Island’s god turned serious. Clearly, it now saw the spectral abilitied Little Hidden Dragon as a true opponent, and no longer looked upon it with contempt. 

The Little Hidden Dragon stopped its random movements, and when it saw its opponent turn serious, it stopped flaunting its spectral abilities. Its pair of spectral blue pupils stared at Prison Island’s god. 

“Yao!!!!!!!” Prison Island’s god let out a cry. All of its tails were unfurled, and its white body suddenly emitted an imposing aura!

As its cloud wings flapped, countless feathers shot out of its body like weaving thread that interweaved and instantly filled the blue sky with a cloud net. This cloud net enveloped the area around the Little Hidden Dragon!

“Yao~~~~~~” Prison Island’s god let out another cry and its heavenly flood dragon tail suddenly shot forth!

Immediately, all of the cloud threads transformed into heavenly flood dragons and were seemingly given a life of their own as they wantonly danced around the Little Hidden Dragon!! 

The Little Hidden Dragon surveyed the innumerable cloud heavenly flood dragons around it. A dragon energy condensed in the depths of it throat, before spitting it at the soaring cloud heavenly flood dragons in front!!

The cloud heavenly flood dragons couldn’t withstand a single blow and quickly disappeared as if they were clouds blown away by a violent wind. 

However, they crowded together like clouds again, and after the Little Hidden Dragon’s energy was spat at them, the cloud heavenly flood dragons from all directions began to gather again. Using their flexible bodies, they wrapped the Little Hidden Dragon’s body, preventing it from moving!

This time, because it knew the Little Hidden Dragon had the spectral ability and that normal techniques would not be able to harm it, Prison Island’s god added a shackling soul talisman seal on the cloud heavenly flood dragons, trapping the Little Hidden Dragon’s soul. 

In an instant, the Little Hidden Dragon’s body was tangled by the flexible cloud heavenly flood dragons, and it was unable to break free of the shackles which restricted its body and soul! 

Prison Island’s god lashed at the Little Hidden Dragon with its tail which transformed into a pale white lightning bolt in the blue sky that surged.

The Little Hidden Dragon’s reaction was very quick and it beat its wings, which weren’t shackled. Agilely, its body flipped to the side, dodging the white flood dragon flash before quickly swooping down! 

“Pu!!!”

The swooping down Little Hidden Dragon fell into the water whereupon the cloud heavenly flood dragons quickly broke down and disappeared. Little Hidden Dragon, upon recovering its freedom, mysteriously disappeared in the underwater world! 

Prison Island’s god never expected this small fellow’s mind to be so sharp. It surprisingly knew that the ocean water could break down its technique! 

Prison Island’s god had fought against spectral type creatures before, and knew that kind of techniques they had. 

Anything reflective and clear could be used as space that spectral creatures could travel through, for example mirrors, the surface of the water, glaciers and even a clear sky… 

Moreover, even stronger specters could switch between the illusory world and real world, switching at the corresponding spot in the real world!

Therefore, Prison Island’s god had to first lock onto where the Little Hidden Dragon was in the mirroring world, before determining the space it could appear in! 

A dragon figure flashed by in the serene ocean underneath and Prison Island’s god was able to locate its location. It beat its wings and suddenly, an enormous cloud vortex appeared that majestically swept past Prison Island’s god and towards an area with nothing there!

The cloud vortex, mixed with white feather blades, was much mightier than a spatial windstorm! 

The Little Hidden Dragon was planning on using mirror switch to attack the off guard Prison Island’s god. However, the moment it switched into reality, it saw the cloud vortex sweeping over!

How did it know it was going to appear here? 

The Little Hidden Dragon’s mind was filled with question marks, but when it saw the cloud vortex arrive, it opened its wings and created two dragon winds that smashed into the cloud vortex! 

“Hu hu hu hu hu~~”

When the two types of energy collided, the entire sky was instantly filled with strong winds and disordered clouds. 

Amidst the wind and clouds, a white body and spectral blue body could be seen rapidly moving about with techniques interweaving between the two of them at an extremely fast pace!!

The Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon had already begun to fly backwards, giving them even more room to tussle. 

The Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon could see that this time, Prison Island’s god was much more serious than its previous fight against it. The fighting strength it displayed was much stronger than then! 

This meant that Prison Island’s god saw the Little Hidden Dragon as a genuine opponent. Moreover, it had fully immersed itself in this cathartic fight! 

The Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon felt extremely gratified that the Little Hidden Dragon was able to cause this fellow, who lived remote and aloof from this world, to use its full strength. This meant that the Little Hidden Dragon possessed the required strength for its approval! 

The pace of the fight grew faster and faster. Each time the Little Hidden Dragon and Prison Island’s god attacked or defended, they were extremely careful while also maintaining their savagery. There was no room for error, but they couldn’t give the opponent any opportunity to gasp for air while they had the advantage!  

“Ao!!!!!!!”

The Little Hidden Dragon finally found a gap in Prison Island’s god defense. After dodging its heavenly flood dragon tail attack, it quickly released the ten thousand souls in its body! 

The ten thousand souls proliferated from its spectral blue scales while releasing ghost wails that mournfully echoed in the sky!

The ten thousand souls coiled around the Little Hidden Dragon with each soul transforming into energy in its dragon horns.

Beating its wings, the Little Hidden Dragon flew forward whereupon its dragon horns, filled with an enormous amount of energy, smashed at Prison Island’s god!

Prison Island’s god naturally didn’t expect that the Little Hidden Dragon would be able to dodge its attack. Seeing the dragon horn smash at it, it could only barely condense a cloud shield to block! 

“Beng!!!!!”

The cloud shield was instantly destroyed, and two bloody holes were opened up on Prison Island’s god from the dragon horns. The horns nearly almost pierced straight through and fresh blood splurted onto its white cloud feathers!!

TL: Bit hard to translate here. 虚拟的虚像世界 doesn’t really have an English translation that fits the author’s intended definition. If anything, a literal definition would more closely resemble “illusory” or “void”, but that doesn’t make sense in the context of mirrors, water, and glaciers. Think he’s trying to go for mirror-like
