Mo Fan glanced at the wound densely covered by the worms. He grabbed Xinxia and Blinked to somewhere safe before placing her down.
The clash between him and Hayla could easily destroy a small city. If Xinxia was too close to them, the energy could easily destroy her. After all, he was fighting against a Supreme Ruler!
Mo Fan quickly returned to the battlefield. He looked at the shocking wound on Hayla's chest. It was unimaginable that the creature was still alive after losing such a huge chunk of its chest.
Mo Fan summoned blazing red flames and rode the tide of flames into the air.
The flames gathered toward Mo Fan and gradually turned him a fiery eagle the size of a cloud. The eagle let out a cry before diving at Hayla's chest. The flames spreading from its wings set everything nearby aflame.
Black insects flew out like puffs of smoke, forming layers of defense. They were using their shells and dark auras to stop the flames from coming any closer.
The shells of these black insects stopped the flames from spreading. However, as Mo Fan's flames reached a certain temperature, the flames began to melt the shells away, too...
Hayla roared and swiped its claws wildly, slicing the fiery eagle into multiple segments.
However, whenever the flames dissipated, the shadow of the Flame Belle Empress behind Mo Fan would brighten. More flames began to pour out of Mo Fan's body. Their brilliance lit up the rain-drenched sacred mountain. The bloody mountain was brightly illuminated...
The raindrops evaporated in the scorching heat. The flames asserted their dominance over the area, charring the black insects to ashes.
The fiery eagle's aura grew stronger. Hayla was no longer able to stop the flames. The flames pressed forward and dug their way into the hole on Hayla's chest with a blinding explosion.
The fiery eagle penetrated the pitch-black body. The Calamity Fire spread wildly across the hole and burst out of Hayla's back. The wild flames surged across Hayla's chest, killing the worms. Their dried and burned bodies fell to the ground like raindrops.
Hayla cried out in pain. The attack made it to recall the humiliation it had received twenty years ago, when a human had managed to blast a hole in its chest and destroyed its heart. If the Ruler of Darkness had not replaced its heart with a filthy hive of insects, it would have died long ago!
Hayla bellowed. A thick black cloud loomed over the creature. Mo Fan initially thought the blow would deal significant damage to the creature, yet to his surprise, even more worms had appeared and filled up the burning hole.
The worms were using their bodies to extinguish the demon flames and fill up the wound. Hayla's chest soon recovered, as if it was perfectly unharmed.
Hayla's chest was crawling with black worms once again. Pang Lai, Song Qiming, and the others outside the Dark Execution Ground were astounded.
