The Heavenly Emperor chuckled softly, then suddenly frowned.
He looked down at his chest, where a savage wound had appeared!
At the same time, a terrifying violet flame surged into his body, burning everything in its path!
Lao Jun's all-out slash had not truly been avoided by the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor placed a hand over his chest. A mouth emerged from his palm and began gnawing at the violet flames.

Now, who else could stand against
