Facing Emperor Qing's relentless defense, the mysterious Immortal King roared in fury. He raised the Bronze Warhammer high, pouring all his power into it.
"Damn it!"
The warhammer swelled to an immense size, blazing with dazzling bronze light. Within that light lay a power capable of destroying heaven and earth.
He smashed it down at Emperor Qing. This blow gathered every ounce of his strength; he meant to break through Emperor Qing's defenses and end the battle.
