"Bang!"
As the explosive sound rang out, brilliant flames suddenly roared to life, appearing between heaven and earth. The blazing sun had descended.

Amid rhythmic wingbeats, the Three-legged Golden Crow emerged from the blazing sun, countless motes of Fire Powder rippling around its body. It looked incomparably noble
