A faint layer of white halo gradually emerged around her body, resembling a sacred suit of armor that warded off the oncoming waves of scorching heat. She knew clearly in her heart that at this very moment, the battle had reached a life-or-death juncture; the slightest misstep would cost her her life.
The Crimson Flame Earth-Shattering Beast let out a roar to the skies, its thunderous sound waves making Qian Yuxi's eardrums ache.

As the seals were completed, the spiritual energy around him surged forth, once again exerting his full control over the Crimson Flame Earth-Shattering Beast to launch a more violent assault. The Crimson Flame Earth-Shattering Beast seemed to have received a fatal command; it let out a roar to the heavens, its sound waves shaking the surrounding air violently.
