"What kind of attack was that?" Shen Luo's expression changed, and he cried out inwardly.
Stirred by the Eight-Fierce pattern, the scorching aura within the sea of fire abruptly intensified tenfold. The Bing-Fire Divine Thunder also surged dramatically in power, raining down on Shen Luo like a storm.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Countless Bing-Fire Divine Thunder struck the golden barrier, producing a dense series of thunderous explosions. The barrier trembled violently, as though it could barely withstand the onslaught.
Shen Luo was genuinely surprised. He knew the defensive power of the Thousand-Dipper Golden Goblet better than anyone; it could withstand even a True Immortal Tribulation with ease, yet this Scarlet Flame Beast's fire-and-lightning attacks had actually shaken it.
"Not bad, Scarlet Flame Beast! I had not wanted to expend too much Magic Power here, but since you insist on courting death, I'll grant you your wish!" He suddenly looked toward the Scarlet Flame Beast, rage rising within him. Golden light blazed from his body as an incomparably powerful force erupted, instantly suppressing the weakness within him.
A vast amount of Magic Power poured into the Thousand-Dipper Golden Goblet, and the golden barrier immediately stabilized. A massive staff shadow shot out from within the barrier like a towering pillar, smashing into the surrounding Eight-Fierce Formation.
Boom!
The Eight-Fierce Formation shattered as if it were made of paper, nearly half of it collapsing at once. Four fiend-god patterns were swept away and destroyed.
"What?!" The Scarlet Flame Beast outside was greatly alarmed. The pillar of fire on its back immediately expanded severalfold, pouring in torrents into the sea of fire as it attempted to reform the Eight-Fierce Formation.
Shen Luo snorted coldly and formed hand seals, pointing from afar at the Pure Yang Sword and Water Cloud Sword outside the sea of fire.
