Tang Chen tore through space and rapidly retreated into the distance. Then, he suddenly clenched his hand toward Old Ancestor Fire Cloud.
Boom!
The Eight-Colored Lightning Fire Lotus and the nine elemental fire dragons exploded at the same instant.
A raging torrent of energy, nearly capable of destroying heaven and earth, instantly engulfed Old Ancestor Fire Cloud. The terrifying shockwave unleashed by the explosion swept outward like a tsunami, shattering mountains and rocks and splitting the earth wherever it passed.
A gigantic mushroom cloud that blotted out the sky rose from the center of the explosion. Billowing shockwaves and dense smoke swallowed the entire battlefield.
Crack... crack!
Before the aftermath of the explosion had even dispersed, a series of ear-piercing cracking sounds rang out wherever the shockwave passed.
The surrounding space was covered in spiderweb-like cracks. The fractures rapidly expanded until this entire stretch of heaven and earth collapsed with them, turning into countless fragments of space dancing through the air.
"This power... the old man should be able to handle it, right?"
Tang Chen returned to normal and sensed the violent energy churning at the center of the explosion from afar. Even as excitement filled him, a trace of worry inevitably arose.
The destructive power of this technique was far greater than he had expected.
Only after the explosion had completely subsided did Tang Chen fly back to his original position. The once-flat battlefield had been blasted into ruin, while the land at the center of the explosion had been forcefully blasted into a bottomless crater. Dust and sand filled the pit, lingering for a long while.
"Old man, are you all right?" Tang Chen called into the crater.
"Cough, cough! Brat, that technique of yours is truly impressive!" Old Ancestor Fire Cloud slowly walked out of the crater
