The battle raged on fiercely. Each time Xiao Yan unleashed the Flame King's power, the flames that erupted seemed to annihilate everything in their vicinity. Yet, Zhou Li never relented, growing stronger with each passing moment, drawing closer to his goal.
As the fight reached its climax, Xiao Yan realized he could no longer hold out without sacrificing something enormous. In the final moments, he decided to release all the power within him, even if it meant risking his own life. He called forth the greatest fire he had ever conjured—fire that not only burned his own body but also set ablaze the very boundaries of reality itself.
The Flame King's power, unleashed from within him, created shockwaves that shattered both sky and earth, opening a larger gateway that connected this world to the Realm of the Abyss. However, even though the gateway opened, a price had to be paid—and that price was Xiao Yan's own sacrifice.
