"But I already... have nothing left to burn..."

He looked at the half of his face that remained, then at the sword on the verge of shattering, and suddenly smiled.

"So..." he murmured, "in the end, I still fell just short."

"Five hundred years of effort, countless sacrifices, and all that remained... was this final little step..."

"My will."

"Pure... unquenchable... obsession."

"He's burning... his own existence!" Tang San cried out.

On the screen, the flames of the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment turned pure gold. Those golden flames tore through the Imaginary Tree's final defenses, opening the rift completely...
