"Ah..."
The incessantly shouting Ferocious Yama King let out only a scream before he was reduced to ashes in the flames beneath Phoenix Dominance Invincible's power. In almost an instant, not a trace of his existence remained in this world.
This horrifying scene struck everyone with immense terror. Although Wentian had shattered Ferocious Yama King's spine and exploded his heart, the Tiger Soul's divine power still clung to his body. His fearsome strength had not weakened. It simply could not be brought to bear without the body's vital parts, but his defenses had not diminished.
