EARTH

Claps of thunder rang through the skies. Under Idol Control, Ryu doubled in size once more and grasped the clouds. He formed the tribulations into the palms and made them into his brush. 

A smooth, beautiful blue steel became its body and the wispy, willowy bodies of the dense black clouds became the bristles. These bristles danced in the air, both corporeal and incorporeal. From time to time, they would spark with gorgeous blue lightning. 

Ryu spun the brush in his hands, and he painted across the stars. 

His wrist flickered, and a character boomed. Space shattered like glass and the flames of eternity scattered. 

"[EARTH]!"

BOOM! 

The entire battlefield shuddered. Ryu felt a strong pull on his Dao Heart and his self-created technique seemed to have reached another level entirely.
