Bang!

The Heaven-Devouring Emperor watched the devastating power of her attack hit Huo Fenghuang. However, he soon frowned. He saw someone appear before her, so he focused on them.

He squinted at her with a look of bafflement; he could not fathom what had just happened; no, he refused to accept it.

The Heaven-Devouring Emperor took a moment to analyze this situation, using all his intelligence, wisdom, and experience. Then, great anger overcame him.

His aura leaked, twisting the surrounding space. The Central Quadrant even turned red for a brief moment.

"Damn you," he roared, his voice echoing like a wrathful God about to walk on a path of carnage and destruction. Then, he attacked Huo Fenghuang with even more ferocity.

A few seconds prior:

Huo Fenghuang watched how her shield cracked, and she watched how that terrifying sword rapidly approached her. She used her immense Willpower to remove the fear of death, trying to remain calm.
