Lance of Storms

The clouds churned and gathered as Ming Yue exerted her energy over the worldly laws. Her face was a bit strained as the drain on her power grew and grew. 

"This is... a lot more difficult... than I thought."

Ming Yue looked up, still pointing Blood Moon at the sky above the Earthbound Tortoise. It didn't even notice, in fact, not even the beast-kin noticed the darkening clouds, not until it was too late. The skies flashed, followed by an ear-shattering crack of thunder!

The tortoise stopped and looked up, sensing that something was amiss. And the beast quickly hid within its shell, knowing full well that it wouldn't escape this. 

"How far can I take this?" Ming Yue asked herself. 

The young cultivater pushed even more, letting nearly half of her strength be consumed for this one technique. 

"I think this fits the name 'Storm Lance' better."

Was it truly a technique? Or was this a test of her current ability?
