Great Emperor Huo Li seemed oblivious to the ordinary Chaos Evil Dragon Beasts surrounding and attacking him. His gaze was locked on the Beast King. As if drawn by an invisible force, he wanted to reach it at any cost.
He erupted with the last of his strength. Dark Purple flames surged around him as he swept his sword across, forcing three Chaos Evil Dragon Beasts back. Then he shot straight toward the Beast King like a burning meteor.
"Roar!"
The Chaos Evil Dragon Beast King let out an earth-shaking roar. It sounded like ten thousand war drums struck at once, shaking the entire Lair.
A concentrated beam of dark gold light shot from its single eye. Like a giant sword piercing heaven and earth, it hurtled straight at Great Emperor Huo Li.
Great Emperor Huo Li neither dodged nor retreated. He raised the Fire Glazed Sword across his body. Its Dark Purple Sword Ray swelled to its limit, then came down head-on against the beam.
Boom!
The two forces collided in the center of the Lair, unleashing a blinding burst of light.
A shock wave spread in every direction like a solid tidal wave, staggering several Chaos Evil Dragon Beasts that had been closing in.
The dark gold beam drove Great Emperor Huo Li backward. His feet carved two charred trails through the Void.
Dark Purple, flame-like blood spilled from his lips. His aura flickered violently, a candle guttering in the wind.
Still, he refused to retreat. Like a torch burning to its very end, he blazed with one last light before going out.
A glint of mockery crossed the Chaos Evil Dragon Beast King's single eye. Its two mountain-sized tails rose like a pair of hammers propping up the sky, then smashed down at Great Emperor Huo Li.
