But even after such a heaven-shaking strike!
"Aaargh! Damn you!" The Sand King Kaiser was actually still alive, letting out a heaven-shaking roar amid the flames!
With a muffled pop, his head burst open!
With a whoosh, a head-sized Demon Core gleaming with yellow light shot out through the Sand King Kaiser's skull and plunged toward the ground...
"Trying to run?" Li Xiaoya's eyes widened, and he shouted furiously. Rings of red-light flame erupted from the Shaking-Heaven Divine Fire Staff in his hands!
Amid a string of thunderous booms, the Shaking-Heaven Divine Fire Staff unleashed dozens of fiery Demon Beast phantoms in succession, sending them charging after the Sand King Kaiser's Demon Core...
But!
With a muffled thud, the Sand King Kaiser's Demon Core struck the ground at an astonishing speed and burrowed straight into it!
Just then!
Boom! Boom! Boom! The fiery Demon Beast phantoms slammed wildly into the earth. Heaven-shaking explosions erupted, unleashing tremendous tremors as rings of red-light flame thousands of feet across burst through the ground...
Clearly, they had failed to catch the Sand King Kaiser. All they could do was explode into countless red-light flames that scattered in every direction!
But!
On the ground thousands of feet beyond the explosions!
Suddenly!
"Aaargh! Steel-armored Beetles!" A heaven-shaking scream of terror rang out. With a muffled blast, the earth burst open, and the Sand King Kaiser's Demon Core shot out...
Then!
Bzzzz! Bzzzz! Bzzzz!
Amid a series of bangs, an astonishing buzzing followed it out of the ground. A red cloud surged after the Sand King Kaiser's Demon Core!
Two or three Steel-armored Beetles were already clinging to the Sand King Kaiser's Demon Core, gnawing at it furiously. He begged frantically, "Aaargh! Spare me! I'm willing to become your...!"
Red light flashed with a series of whooshes.
