As the 'Sky-Devouring Fire Dragon' fully emerged from the summoned fire, its terrifying form stretched three hundred meters long, the crimson flames blazing around it causing the surrounding space to warp.
This time, the Sky-Devouring Fire Dragon's might was unprecedentedly powerful, its aura no less potent than that of the Three-Element Demon Dragon.
Nicros Ghidorah felt immense pressure, a fatal sensation piercing its soul. Its three massive heads focused their energy towards the 'Sky-Devouring Fire Dragon,' unleashing beams of light.
Behold, the red, white, and black rays it released converged into a tri-colored energy beam. The energy surged instantaneously, exuding an aura of destruction.
BOOM~
With a deafening roar, the space trembled. The imprisoned space ahead shattered like fragile glass, and the ferocious tri-colored energy beam continued its trajectory, aimed at the charging Sky-Devouring Fire Dragon.
"ROAR!!!" In a flash of lightning, the Sky-Devouring Fire Dragon opened its colossal maw, directly meeting the terrifying tri-colored energy beam and swallowing it whole.
There was no explosion, but the Sky-Devouring Fire Dragon's body rapidly expanded, the scales formed from flames cracking.
The Sky-Devouring Fire Dragon seemed on the verge of collapse, yet this did not impede its charging speed. It continued its path, devouring everything in the trajectory of the tri-colored energy beam. The distance of several kilometers between it and the Three-Element Demon Dragon was closed in mere blinks of an eye.
The Three-Element Demon Dragon's three enormous eyes widened, its vision filled with terrifying crimson flames.
A wave of dread enveloped it. In its moment of desperation, it had to abandon releasing the tri-colored energy cluster and instead deployed an energy shield.
The instant the energy shield was deployed, the Sky-Devouring Fire Dragon lunged.
First, a blindingly intense beam of light erupted, casting a shadow over heaven and earth. Then followed a world-shattering explosion, a mushroom cloud that sent chills down to the bone, rising straight into the sky.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
The colossal bodies of the Sky-Devouring Fire Dragon and the Three-Element Demon Dragon were consumed by the mushroom cloud.
The earth shook violently once more, its commotion exceeding that of the portal's initial opening.
The terrifying shockwave, carrying waves of intense heat, swept across the surrounding land. Green vegetation turned to ash upon contact, and the shockwave also obliterated mountains…
"This… this is too terrifying!"
"Faster, accelerate!"
More than twenty kilometers away, the Southern War Zone officers, who had already retreated a considerable distance, kept looking back at the cataclysmic battle unfolding in the sky.
The immense Sky-Devouring Fire Dragon suddenly released by Bai Ye had already been astonishing. But this explosion, comparable to a nuclear blast, sent a shiver through their hearts.
The Southern War Zone had experienced battles against disaster-level demonic creatures, and they considered themselves quite experienced. However, the power displayed in this casual strike was beyond their imagination.
"What a pity! Our heavy equipment might be gone just like that…" lamented one officer. These demon-breaking weapons were forged with the nation's might, the culmination of countless scientists' painstaking efforts.
Their numbers were extremely limited, which was also why the sudden mutation in the Wòjiāo Mountain Range had left the Great Xia Kingdom unable to mobilize sufficient forces to respond in a timely manner.
"If it's broken, it can be rebuilt. As long as that demonic creature is slain and no longer threatens our Great Xia, everything is worth it."
Li Hanqing said this, but a hint of regret flickered in his solemn gaze. The other equipment was of no consequence; he only hoped the three laser cannons had not sustained too severe damage.
"Speaking of which, with such a terrifying explosion, Bai Ye… he wouldn't be in trouble, would he…" a relatively young officer said with concern.
*Crack!*
Commander Li Hanqing raised his hand and slapped the young officer's cap, cutting off his words.
The other officers glared fiercely at him. "Shut your jinxing mouth!"
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
A dull rumbling sound echoed and re-echoed throughout the world.
After more than a minute, the explosion gradually subsided, and the fiery glow receded.
Affected by the terrain, the mushroom cloud's impact was concentrated within a ten-kilometer radius. Although the three laser cannons ten kilometers away had multiple fractures, fortunately, their main components were preserved.
And at the epicenter of the mushroom cloud, a gaping crater with a radius of nearly 5 kilometers had materialized out of thin air, a shocking sight.
The peaks that were originally within the crater's range had vanished without a trace, as if evaporated from existence…
High in the sky, as the powerful, blinding flames dispersed, two figures slowly appeared.
"Ahem!"
Emerging from a swirl of wind, Hou Ying walked out, patting the smoky scent off the air and clearing his throat a few times.
He looked at Bai Ye's figure in front of him, which remained calm and composed, showing no sign of weakness after unleashing a great move, not even panting. He smiled with surprise.
He spoke, "The Three-Element Demon Dragon, from birth, can control three elements. This is why they can reign supreme on the Tite continent."
"However, their strongest ability is that they have three lives."
After saying this, Hou Ying fell silent, gazing down at the immense crater, ready to watch the show.
"Three lives?"
Bai Ye was also looking at the devastated battlefield below.
After the mushroom cloud dissipated, the ground below had turned into scorched earth. Apart from a deep, abyss-like black hole next to the portal, nothing else was visible.
The Three-Element Demon Dragon seemed to have vanished along with the Sky-Devouring Fire Dragon.
"Did it hide?" Bai Ye murmured softly. In such a situation, Hou Ying would not joke with him.
His spatial perception scoured the entire scorched earth, as well as the surrounding ten kilometers.
Suddenly, a slight smile curved Bai Ye's lips. Beneath the ground, beside the abyssal black hole, he detected a faint aura.
It was the aura of the Three-Element Demon Dragon, Nicros Ghidorah.
"Come out."
"I can give you a second chance to surrender to me."
Bai Ye's voice echoed in the sky, also penetrating the ground.
There was no response. Nicros Ghidorah, underground, had transformed into human form, clinging to the last shred of hope.
But suddenly, above him, electric light flickered, and several bolts of lightning crackled down towards the ground.
Bang, bang, bang!!!
More explosions erupted, the scorched earth crumbling and scattering.
"ROAR!!!"
Nicros Ghidorah roared in fury and rushed out of the ground, transforming back into its true form.
Of its original three heads, only one now remained. Its wings were riddled with holes, and only one tail was left. Wounds of various sizes covered its entire body, black and red blood flowing out, creating a rain of blood in the sky.
"Hou Ying, you traitor!!!"
Nicros Ghidorah roared in rage.
