Chapter 30

However... Boom! An incandescent flash of fire erupted like a furious fire-phoenix, and the massive, mountain-like body of the Five-Colored Divine Ox was hurled hundreds of feet away like a cannonball fired with immense force. It crashed like a meteor into the cliffside, instantly spiderwebbing the hard rock with countless fissures that spread rapidly in all directions. Immediately following, portions of the rock face collapsed like frightened children, letting out a deafening roar that sounded like the Thunder God beating his drum, chilling one to the bone. For a moment, the rising dust and debris filled the air like a dark, angry surge, unfolding the entire scene like a scroll of apocalypse, filled with an aura of destruction and despair. A massive crater formed where the Five-Colored Divine Ox landed, the surrounding earth torn to pieces as if by the sharp claws of a demon. Black smoke rose from some of the fissures, its pungent odor reminiscent of demonic aura leaking out after the gates of hell had been thrown open, dancing like ghosts. "This..." Du Bufan furrowed his brow, a flash of astonishment crossing his eyes like a navigator witnessing a sea monster emerge. He looked toward the spot where the Five-Colored Divine Ox had landed, a scene of utter devastation like a post-war ruined city, exuding a desperate and miserable air akin to a forbidden zone of life.
