The Magic Egg Cannon was gone, the part of the sand dune within the range of the beam of light was also gone, creating a semi-circular gap, from which tendrils of white smoke were rising from the sectioned-off face.
The outer layer of the Magic Egg was gone, revealing its internal structure which consisted of dozens of entwined Demon Crystals of various hues — red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, and purple. Without the restraint of their outer layer, these Demon Crystals paused briefly, then clinked as they fell down and landed onto the sectioned face of the sand dune that was struck by the beam of light.
With a series of crisp popping sounds, the Demon Crystals actually shattered the surface of the sand dune. Upon closer inspection, it was noticed that the sectioned face bore a thin glassy crust — the result of exposure to high temperatures.
Ma Yuer suddenly felt weak in the knees as he recognized the beam of light — the Holy Light Flash that he had once come across in a magic book.
