The flame giant dragon lunged fiercely at Dao Lord Taichu, its roar shaking the surroundings and stirring upheaval between heaven and earth.
Dao Lord Taichu's body flickered like a phantom, effortlessly evading the flame giant dragon's attack while leaving behind a string of shimmering Dao power marks as he moved.
The King of Hundred Battles felt a surge of rage. He had not underestimated Dao Lord Taichu; instead, he unleashed every ounce of his power.
His body grew increasingly scorching, and his fiery dragon breath became even more violent, as though it would swallow the entire world.
Dao Lord Taichu let out a cold laugh. Rather than dodging again, he stood where he was as Dao power tattoos suddenly emerged around his body, forming an indestructible barrier.
The flame giant dragon's attack crashed into the barrier with an earth-shaking explosion, yet the barrier remained completely unscathed.
"You are still not strong enough, King of Hundred Battles," Dao Lord Taichu said coldly. With a wave of his hand, an enormous ball of Dao power shot forth, brilliant as a sun.
The flame giant dragon was struck by Dao Lord Taichu's attack and let out a deafening roar. Its entire body instantly exploded into countless fragments of flame.
Yet the King of Hundred Battles was not defeated. His consciousness condensed anew within the flames, and even more searing energy radiated from his body.
"This still isn't enough!" the King of Hundred Battles roared. The flames gathered once more, reforming into a flame giant dragon even larger and more terrifying than before.
This time, his target was no longer Dao Lord Taichu, but the surrounding mountains and earth.
The flame giant dragon opened its massive jaws, spewing an unimaginably powerful torrent of flame that instantly turned the land into a sea of fire.
