Hellfire, unleashed by Bai Ye, caused the entire Wòjiāo Mountain Range to tremble violently.
Rumble
The ground beneath Bai Ye's feet cracked open rapidly. Centered on him, it spread out in all directions at an astonishing speed.
One hundred meters, five hundred meters, one kilometer, two kilometers
In the blink of an eye, several massive fissures had extended to a radius of three kilometers, accompanied by numerous smaller cracks. Their speed was immeasurably faster than the venomous stinger, silk, or the wind blades of the Great Black Tiger.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Roar!
Ah!
In that instant, the Great Black Tiger, the Terror Spider, the White Fox, and a host of other ferocious beasts felt a primal fear from the depths of their souls.
They stared at the ground in terror, trying to halt their charge towards Bai Ye, desperate to escape.
However, before their bodies could execute the command, fierce black and red flames surged from the ground, instantly engulfing their massive forms.
The ferocious flames soared from the ground to heights of over a hundred meters.
The Great Black Tiger, the White Fox, the Terror Spider, and their countless offspring all vanished in the sea of fire. The colossal, towering trees, upon contact with the flames, turned to ash in mere moments.
At that moment, a three-kilometer radius of the forest had transformed into a terrifying inferno of black and red, with only the crackling of burning flames to be heard.
The high-ranking officials of the Imperial Capital and the military officers of Modu Mingdao were all stunned. Even those who had weathered numerous storms in the human world found themselves gaping in disbelief.
They had suspected Bai Ye was powerful, but never imagined he could be so terrifying!
An area of three kilometers, spanning dozens of square kilometers, was consumed by terrifying flames.
Could an augmented armored division unleash such firepower? They were unsure.
Even if they could achieve similar area coverage, the destructive power would never reach this level!
The Great Black Tiger, the Terror Spider, the White Fox – formidable beasts that their heavy deployments had failed to eliminate – had simply vanished in the flames. They didn't even have the chance to struggle or cry out.
If this attack were unleashed upon a city…
There would be no one to stop him. No matter how large or prosperous the city, it would be reduced to a living hell.
No, a dead zone!
As some high-ranking officials and officers entertained this thought, a wave of fear washed over them.
When Bai Ye first went live on broadcast, performing by the seaside, the news had reached them immediately.
They had been viewers that night. Simultaneously, they had held heated discussions, seemingly deciding Bai Ye's fate.
Now, it appeared, it was they who were choosing their own destiny!
Some of the higher-ups who had initially proposed forceful measures against Bai Ye felt a chill of apprehension.
Deploy reconnaissance aircraft again.
Old Song of Modu Mingdao issued the order.
Drones reconnoitering above the flames were also affected by the intense heat, with many units crashing into the sea of fire and disappearing.
This kid, he won't burn himself to death, will he?
Old Song stared at the remaining screens, searching for Bai Ye's figure within the raging inferno.
But before he could find Bai Ye, a voice filled with furious contemplation echoed once more from the volcano to the east of the inferno.
Roaring!
This roar was louder than any before, even causing ripples to form in the air.
The reconnaissance aircraft in the sky were hit by the sonic impact, their electronic systems instantly thrown into chaos, malfunctioning. Some even ceased operation entirely, plummeting from the sky.
They're out!
The reconnaissance video screens in the Imperial Capital and Modu Mingdao all went black. The leader, Old Song, and other high-ranking officials wore solemn expressions.
They weren't particularly surprised by the malfunction of the reconnaissance aircraft; this wasn't the first time.
Some of these ferocious beasts could emit sonic waves that produced a pulse interference effect.
However, in response to such pulse-like interference, the military industry department had developed numerous technologies in recent years, granting electronic systems a certain degree of resistance.
Above the Wòjiāo Mountain Range, some drones continued to fly aimlessly. Thanks to the relentless efforts of the electronic warfare soldiers of the Eastern Military Region, these drones were soon reactivated.
Screens displaying reconnaissance footage from the Imperial Capital and Modu Mingdao flickered back to life, showing some scenes.
At this moment, the sea of flames at the battlefield was slowly dissipating. The entire battlefield was scorched black, riddled with fissures.
All the vegetation, the Great Black Tiger, the Terror Spider, and other ferocious beasts were gone, leaving not a trace.
Above the coke-like ground, a figure now stood suspended in mid-air, their gaze fixed on the eastern volcano.
Roaring!
A terrifying roar once again plunged the reconnaissance screens into darkness.
And from within the volcano, from the lake, a colossal figure emerged.
Roaring!
