The pocket dimension trembled violently, its boundaries threatening to collapse under the strain of the opposing powers. The crowd outside, their faces etched with terror, watched as the shimmering barrier flickered and warped, its stability hanging by a thread.
Within the dimension, the clash reached its climax. The Flame of Annihilation, its energy depleted by the Great Law of Death, finally succumbed, its light extinguished in a final, desperate burst.
BOOOM!!
The shockwave from the collision rippled through the pocket dimension, shattering its boundaries and releasing the two combatants back into the ravaged avenue.
The crowd gasped, their eyes wide with disbelief as they beheld the scene before them.
Huo Yanzeng, his body broken and his spirit shattered, lay sprawled on the scorched earth, his flames extinguished, his God Mark dimmed. He was a shadow of his former self, his once-mighty power reduced to a mere ember.
