The commentator\'s voice boomed with excitement, narrating the breathtaking scene. "Witness the clash of the Lion Ascension Fists! Alix and his opponent transcend their limits, their fiery power shaking the very foundations of this arena. This is a battle that defies all expectations!"
Their movements were a blur of fire and agility, the air crackling with the intensity of their collision. The flames danced around them, fueled by their immense cultivation and the indomitable fire within their souls.
Alix\'s opponent, with his deeper mastery of the Lion Ascension Fist, unleashed a devastating sequence of strikes. Each blow carried the weight of his monstrous bloodline, shaking the ground and propelling Alix backward.
But Alix refused to be overcome. With unyielding resolve, he dug deep within himself, calling upon the fiery energy that burned within his core. His Lion Ascension Fist blazed brighter, its roar extending further, as he matched his opponent\'s onslaught with relentless determination.
The crowd erupted in thunderous applause as Alix\'s fiery power surged, his Lion Ascension Fist reaching its peak. Flames erupted from his body, intertwining with the lion above him, creating a spectacle of unparalleled beauty and power.
Their fists collided once more, the impact shaking the arena with an explosion of fire and force. The clash reverberated through the air, sending shockwaves rippling outward, each wave carrying the raw intensity of their battle.
Time seemed to stand still as Alix and his opponent locked eyes, their bodies surrounded by a halo of flickering flames. They stood on the precipice of victory, their powers evenly matched, neither willing to relent.
The commentator\'s voice resonated with awe. "Behold the spectacle of two warriors reaching the pinnacle of their power! Alix and his opponent, flames incarnate, dance on the edge of greatness!"
A moment of silence filled the arena, anticipation hanging in the air like a tangible presence. And then, with a burst of primal energy, Alix unleashed his final gambit—a technique named "Inferno Fury."
Flames erupted from every pore of Alix\'s being, enveloping his body in an inferno of unparalleled magnitude. The lion above him soared higher, as Alix poured every ounce of his fiery essence into the devastating strike.
The arena was consumed by a blinding light as Alix\'s Inferno Fury connected with his opponent\'s defense. The impact sent shockwaves rippling outward, cracking the ground beneath them. The flames intensified, reaching a crescendo of power that bathed the arena in an awe-inspiring display of fiery might.
As the flames subsided, silence fell upon the arena. The dust settled, revealing Alix standing tall amidst the aftermath. His opponent lay motionless, defeated by the overwhelming force of Alix\'s Inferno Fury.
The commentator\'s voice echoed through the stunned silence. "Alix, the wielder of fiery fists, emerges victorious! His Inferno Fury technique has obliterated his opponent\'s defense. This battle, a clash of titanic proportions, has concluded in a blaze of triumph!"
Alix\'s chest heaved with exhaustion, his body still emanating a radiant heat. The crowd erupted into thunderous applause, their cheers echoing through the arena. Alix\'s friends, Yara and Eryx, rushed to his side, their faces beaming with pride and admiration.
Yara slapped Alix on the back, a wide grin adorning his face. "Alix, you were a blazing inferno out there! Your mastery of the Lion Ascension Fist and your final Inferno Fury were nothing short of legendary!"
Eryx nodded in agreement, his voice filled with admiration. "You pushed beyond your limits, Alix. Your determination and control over your fire power were awe-inspiring. You have truly become a force to be reckoned with."
Alix smiled gratefully at his friends, feeling a sense of fulfillment from their praise. "Thank you, both of you. This battle wouldn\'t have been possible without your unwavering support and camaraderie."
As the cheers of the crowd subsided, a sudden, blinding light enveloped Alix, Yara, and Eryx. The trio found themselves surrounded by a radiant glow, and their surroundings blurred as if they were being transported elsewhere.
After what felt like an eternity, the light dissipated, revealing an open space within the tomb. They stood on a vast platform, suspended in a realm that seemed to exist outside of time and space. Surrounding them were breathtaking landscapes, each representing the essence of a different element: soaring mountains of earth, a tranquil lake of water, an endless expanse of wind-blown clouds, and a celestial sky of stars.
Yara\'s eyes widened in amazement. "Where are we? This place feels... otherworldly."
Eryx nodded, his voice filled with awe. "I can sense immense cultivation energy here. It\'s as if we\'ve entered the heart of the tomb itself."
Alix took a deep breath, feeling the power of the cultivation world resonate within him. "This place must be a sacred realm, a nexus of elemental energies. It must be the reward for the third stage."
As they explored further, they noticed that each landscape was bordered by a shimmering barrier, forming distinct sections like pieces of an intricate puzzle.
Yara pointed toward the mountainous region. "Look, the earth section seems to contain various terrains—lush forests, deserts, and even snow-capped peaks. It\'s like an entire world encapsulated within one realm."
Eryx observed the water section. "And here, the lake stretches as far as the eye can see. The water\'s surface reflects the moon and stars, creating a breathtaking vista."
Alix gazed toward the sky, where constellations formed intricate patterns. "And above us, the celestial expanse seems to hold the secrets of the universe. I feel a connection to the stars themselves."
The trio realized that each section of the cultivation world resonated with their respective elemental affinities—Alix with fire, Yara with water, and Eryx with lightning.
