Eastern Continent, Six Mountains Dynasty, outside the Imperial Capital.
An area spanning hundreds of miles had transformed into a boundless sea of fire, the roaring flames spreading in all directions like a plague.
Serpents of fire writhed and rolled within the inferno.
Mountains were smelted into roiling magma, rivers evaporated leaving only dry beds, and forests were scorched into barren earth...
The earth collapsed with incessant rumbles, the Celestial Vault fractured, and the winds surged like a gathering storm.
It was like the end of the world!
High in the sky...
Jiang Chen, enveloped in a pulsing, blood-red glow, was steadily losing ground against the enraged Fire Emperor.
Even though he was burning his own blood to generate immense power, his supply was finite. As the crimson blood burned away, a faint golden hue within it grew ever more brilliant and dazzling, shining with resplendent light!
Jiang Chen's body was covered in cracks, like fractured porcelain.
