“Realized?”
In the distance, Khatabah sharply sensed Wang Chong’s gaze. He took two steps forward and coldly chuckled.
The Ifrit had been sealed for far too long and was no longer at its peak strength. With each passing moment, it would get stronger and stronger. The Ifrit needed time to recover, so Khatabah was in no rush.
The Ifrit was indestructible, and by the end, the Tang would discover that no matter how much strength they applied, they would not be able to exterminate the Ifrit, only welcome the true and even more powerful World-Destroying Ifrit!
Not only that, Khatabah could use this process to weaken them as much as possible.
No matter how these Tang tried to stop it, they would ultimately realize that their fates were sealed!
“It’s about enough. Let me give you a hand!”
Khatabah looked at the distant Ifrit and stepped forward, and with this step, he left the elephant Behemoth and floated in the air. At the same time, he thrust a finger forward, and the world howled with wind. Everyone stared in shock as a spatial gap appeared above the Ifrit, brimming with blazing golden energy, the higher-level energy of another dimension.
Rumble! A moment later, a giant pillar of energy struck the massive form of the Ifrit, a waterfall that did not attack the Ifrit, but surged into its body.
“Not good!”
In alarm, Wang Chong made to stop it, but he was too late. The Ifrit had already grown stronger through the battle, and with the assistance of Khatabah’s Subtle realm energy, it seemed to fill in the missing piece and experienced a quintessential transformation.
Roooar!
The injured World-Destroying Ifrit furiously howled. As if some hidden seal had finally crumbled away, a vast energy surged out from its body, and the already massive body of the Ifrit expanded, swelling to a height of one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred and sixty, one hundred and seventy…
And its strength swelled along with its size, its flames exploding outward. The temperature reached two hundred thousand degrees, and the black smoke from the burning of the surrounding air grew even thicker. And as it grew stronger, it also increased the speed at which it absorbed energy from the void.
Khatabah had opened the passage to the Subtle realm to give the Ifrit a hand, but now, the Ifrit looked up at the sky and began to extract energy from that unfathomable dimension.
Raaaa! Another waterfall of golden energy sloshed down onto the Ifrit, boosting its power once more. And when its strength reached a certain point, a mysterious golden symbol infused with the laws of the world appeared on its forehead.
“Not good!”
Alarmed, Wang Chong gripped the Origin Immortal Sword and once more used the Power of Lightning. Dark clouds gathered overhead as Wang Chong and the sword transformed into a lightning bolt.
Although the Ifrit had an almost unkillable body, Wang Chong had noticed that its energy source was located in its head. Destroying its head wouldn’t kill it, but it would at least interrupt its energy-absorbing process.
But the results this time were completely different.
Buzz!
Those two evil golden eyes flashed with lightning, instantly scanning the air and locking onto Wang Chong’s figure. Immediately, a gout of flame struck Wang Chong, traveling several times faster than before.
After absorbing the energy of the Subtle realm, the Ifrit was now far stronger than Wang Chong. Boom! Even though Wang Chong unleashed all his Stellar Energy to defend himself, he still shuddered upon being struck by the flames, and his body was knocked backward.
“Your Highness!”
“Milord!”
Zhangchou Jianqiong, An Sishun, Su Hanshan, Li Siye, Cheng Qianli, and the other Tang officers all paled.
“Wang Chong!”
An anxious Wang Zhongsi rushed in Wang Chong’s direction, but a moment later, a massive fist wrapped in flames knocked him aside.
Rumble!
The earth crumbled away, and the flames on the Ifrit’s body became streaked with white, signifying that they had reached an extremely high temperature. But the most alarming of all was what was going on under the Ifrit’s feet…
“Look over there!” someone suddenly shouted.
Beneath the Ifrit, the hard, rocky surface was slowly beginning to melt under the high temperatures, glowing red and turning viscous. A few seconds later, vast clouds of steam began to rise in the area within five hundred feet of the Ifrit, all the hard rocks turning into hot lava. Moreover, under the control of some mysterious energy, this lava was flowing into the Ifrit’s body and merging with it.
The Ifrit’s body turned from red to black as it incorporated the lava.
Let alone the Tang soldiers, even the Arab cavalry were alarmed by this sight. While the Ifrit had been released by Khatabah, this was the first time the Arabs had witnessed this terrifying ability.
“It’s about time! All of you must die! Today, I will fulfill my last desire and unite the eastern world!”
Khatabah’s eyes blazed as brightly as stars. Winds stirred around him, ruffling his hair and robes. Bang! Khatabah began to stride through the air, advancing with each step.
Under his feet, the air seemed as solid as rock.
Khatabah’s eyes were cold and brimming with killing intent. For this entire war, he had remained in the rear and issued commands, but now, this was no longer necessary. The Ifrit had exploded in power while Wang Chong and the others had expended their strength.
There was no one left on the battlefield who could stand in his way!
“It’s about time this war came to an end!”
Khatabah’s eyes flashed. Boom! A storm swept over the world as Khatabah’s energy swelled, a beam of energy rising from his body and piercing through the heavens.
Khatabah’s eyes flitted across the battlefield and instantly locked onto Wang Chong and the other Tang commanders.
“Once I eliminate you, no one will be left to stop the Ifrit!”
Khatabah’s eyes chilled as he shot forward like a lightning bolt.
Roooar!
But just when Khatabah was about to step onto the battlefield and deal with Wang Chong and the others, a resounding roar came from overhead. The sky darkened, and Khatabah raised his head to see the massive form of the King Ape, its teeth bared. At some point, it had made a flying leap into the air from the distance, and it was now descending like a meteor, its two arms bulging with muscle as they punched.
“Ah!”
Cries of alarm came from the surrounding area. The Ifrit’s transformation had so absorbed everyone’s attention that not even Adnan had noticed the King Ape ‘stealthily’ making its way to the north to attack Khatabah.
“Protect the Hierophant!”
The area fell into chaos as the Arab generals rushed forward. They had all seen the power of the King Ape with their own eyes, so terrifying that it utterly dominated the battlefield. Although it could not be compared to the World-Destroying Ifrit, it still ranked as a tyrant or hegemon.
But as countless soldiers rushed forward, an unexpected scene took place.
Boom!
Terrifying waves of Stellar Energy rolled out from the area Khatabah was standing, sweeping over the world. From his place in the air, Khatabah punched, his body seeming to be a massive mountain that stood in defiance of the King Ape as it firmly blocked the attack.
The two fists of starkly contrasting sizes clashed in the air. The King Ape’s fist itself was so large that it made Khatabah seem like an ant, but within this puny being was a strength that far transcended the King Ape’s.
“How could this be!?”
In the distance, Wang Chong, who had fallen to the ground after being punched back by the Ifrit, saw what had happened in the distance and was deeply shaken.
Wang Chong had been dividing his mind the entire time to control the King Ape, and no one understood just how immense its strength was better than him.
It wasn’t surprising that Khatabah could block the King Ape’s attack, but what was surprising was that Khatabah could somehow be completely unmoved despite taking the King Ape’s assault while floating in the air. It was like he had rooted himself into the fabric of space!
He had known that Khatabah was strong, but not this strong.
There was no doubt that not only had Khatabah reached the Subtle realm, he had gone far past the level of the King Ape.
Bang!
As if in response to Wang Chong’s thoughts, Khatabah’s robe rustled, unleashing a vast sea of annihilating energy. With just one strike, the King Ape that was several hundred times his size was blasted away.
Kaboom! The King Ape crashed into the ground and howled in pain. The massive force of the impact sundered the ground, creating a massive crater. Meanwhile, Khatabah continued to hover in the air with a relaxed look on his face, completely unmoved.
