Outside the Golden Pavilion, above Bi Lake.
Pei Juxian's eyes widened in fury, his eyebrows shot up, and his beard bristled like a hedgehog's quills. A brilliant purple-gold light enveloped him as he formed a hand seal. Behind him, a majestic and noble figure materialized, wearing a Heaven-Peaking Crown and a Purple Gold Imperial Robe, possessing the august dignity of an emperor.
Across from him, atop a cloud, a ball of fiery light appeared, blazing like a scorching sun!
It was Fang Cheng.
The flames seemed tangible, flowing like a viscous liquid, and within them flickered countless ancient, profound runes.
These runes coalesced into a majestic Flame Giant. A halo formed from swirling flame patterns slowly rotated behind it.
Terrifying, heart-pounding ripples of power radiated from it.
The nearby void collapsed and melted, as if the very space of the Taiyi Cave Heaven could not withstand such intense heat.
