Mo Hua felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, but he still laughed.
“Venerable, you are too polite. I can return to the sect by myself; there’s no need for you to escort me. The Dao Court Division is hunting you; you should quickly escape for your life…”

The Fiery Buddha’s gaze narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. “That day, the person impersonating ‘Grandmaster Yuan’ and speaking with me was indeed you!”

“No!” Mo Hua flatly denied.

But the Fiery Buddha had already confirmed it.

“The person who stole my Demonic Path Turn Evil True Decrees and the Falling Fire Forbidden Technique secret methods from the altar was also you, right?”

Mo Hua’s face was full of bewilderment. “Venerable, what are you saying? I don’t understand at all…”

The Fiery Buddha’s eyelids twitched. He had lived for so long and had never seen such a shameless “little donor.”

Mo Hua smiled shyly. “Venerable, if you don’t go, then let me go…”

The Fiery Buddha took a deep breath and said coldly, “Do you think you can walk away from me?”

Seeing that the Fiery Buddha was not letting him go, Mo Hua sighed and said helplessly, “You’re not looking for trouble with Uncle Gu. Why are you competing with a child like me?”

“No!” The Fiery Buddha’s gaze was sharp. “Gu Changhuai is far from being like you…”

Mo Hua was startled.

“If I don’t kill Gu Changhuai today, I can still kill him in the future…”

“But you are different…” The Fiery Buddha stared intently at Mo Hua. “Your divine sense is strong, your concealment is strong, your arrays are strong, your movements are elusive, your methods are strange and unpredictable, and your schemes are numerous…”

“And you are only at the Foundation Building initial stage. Given time, you will definitely become a great problem…”

Killing intent flickered in the Fiery Buddha’s eyes. “This one always has a premonition that if I don’t kill you today, I fear I will die at your hands sooner or later!”

Mo Hua’s eyelids twitched rapidly, and he forced a smile. “Venerable, you think too highly of me. My aptitude is very poor; I’m not worth you valuing so much…”

But the Fiery Buddha’s killing intent was already firm. He slowly walked towards Mo Hua, his compassionate face revealing an indifferent smile.

“Little donor, you stole my Falling Fire Technique. I fear you still don’t know how to use it…”

The Fiery Buddha slowly reached forward, evil power surged through his body, and flames rose. “I will now teach you…”

And the instant the Fiery Buddha extended his hand, Mo Hua also lifted his hand and pointed, manifesting an array.

The Fiery Buddha saw this and his pupils shrank. This time, he saw clearly. Mo Hua pointed his finger, and spiritual ink broke through the air, winding rapidly on the ground, condensing array patterns, forming an array.

Controlling ink with divine sense, pointing at the ground to form an array?! The Fiery Buddha took a cold breath. What kind of unbelievable array setting method was this? Not to mention Grandmaster Yuan, among all the array masters he had seen and even heard of in his life, not once had there been someone who could so easily and without restriction set up an array.

This child must die! Otherwise, once his cultivation was higher and his arrays were stronger, he would inevitably become an unbelievably strong enemy!

The Fiery Buddha’s killing intent greatly flourished. Under his feet, an array generated, forming the Gen Mountain Array, trapping him in place. But in just an instant, flames suddenly rose, completely destroying the Gen Mountain Array.

With the array destroyed, Mo Hua turned and ran with all his might. He couldn’t fight! He had to escape quickly!

The Fiery Buddha laughed coldly and continued to chase, but after just a few steps, several arrays were activated under his feet again, hindering his movement. The Fiery Buddha then knew that while he was speaking with this little ghost earlier, the little ghost was not idle, but had quietly and silently drawn so many arrays on the ground to delay him.

“Indeed, an insidious little ghost…” The Fiery Buddha coldly hummed.

He pushed his evil power to the extreme, and dense fire rain swept towards the surroundings. After a series of explosions, it completely destroyed the arrays Mo Hua had set up nearby. Then, his body like a fierce fire, he suddenly chased after Mo Hua.

Mo Hua was startled and immediately sent a message to Gu Changhuai. “Uncle Gu, save me!!” “The Fiery Buddha wants to kill me!!!”

Then he turned back for a look, and the Fiery Buddha was already getting closer to him. He was at the early stage of Foundation Building, while the Fiery Buddha was at the peak of Foundation Building. The cultivation gap was too big. And although his Flowing Water Step was exquisite, it was only skilled in inch-space dodging. For long-distance chasing and escaping, it was not particularly powerful.

Seeing that he was about to be caught by the Fiery Buddha, Mo Hua’s body was like flowing water. He immediately turned sharply, flashed past the Fiery Buddha’s side, and turned towards the mountain forest on the left.

The Fiery Buddha pounced on empty air and then frowned. This body method… what exactly was its origin?

The first time they met, Mo Hua relied on his body method to escape from Qiao Lao Six and several others. At that time, the Fiery Buddha did not act. He still thought that Qiao Lao Six and the others were not skilled in body methods, which was why Mo Hua escaped. But now that he had personally chased him and experienced it firsthand, he realized that this water-element body method was much more troublesome than he had previously imagined… Like a “little mudfish,” it was slippery and difficult to grasp. It looked very weak, but it was extremely hard to kill…

“Then he must not be allowed to leave…” The Fiery Buddha said coldly.

Mo Hua displayed his Flowing Water Step and drilled into the mountain forest. The Fiery Buddha also followed. With the mountain rocks and woods obstructing, Mo Hua’s body method was easier to employ. Although the Fiery Buddha could chase Mo Hua, in a short time, he could not catch him, let alone kill him. The spells he cast either missed or were blocked by the mountain forest. Killing intent flickered in the Fiery Buddha’s eyes, and his killing intent grew stronger.

Mo Hua circled around for a while using his body method, then suddenly found an opportunity. His figure flashed, merging with the surrounding environment, and his figure gradually disappeared…

“Indeed… it’s the Five Elements Concealment Technique…” The Fiery Buddha’s gaze narrowed, then he laughed coldly and took out a piece of mercury spirit mirror from his bosom. Silver light overflowed from the spirit mirror. The Fiery Buddha probed with the spirit mirror and saw a faint small shadow in the mountain forest. He reached out and swept his hand, and several points of fire rain, carrying Falling Fire, shot straight out like flying darts. That small figure flashed and passed, dodging the fire rain. The fire rain fell on the mountain rock with a “boom,” melting out several deep cave marks and emitting charred white smoke.

One strike missed, the Fiery Buddha coldly hummed, and continued to probe with the spirit mirror, searching for Mo Hua’s concealed figure.

Mo Hua was speechless in his heart. A dignified Fiery Buddha, to catch himself, a small cultivator, as for targeting him so much? He ambushed him again. He blocked the road again. He even prepared a special spirit tool to restrain his concealment. He exterminated the Xie family’s entire household, and he feared it was just one burn of Falling Fire, greatly killing in all directions, not necessarily spending so much thought…

But as matters stood, Mo Hua had no other way. He could only hope that Uncle Gu would quickly come to save him. Only then would he have a chance to escape or counterattack. Before that, he could only do his best to find ways to entangle with the Fiery Buddha and delay time.

And at this time, on another road. Gu Changhuai was riding a horse, returning from Bi Shan City to the boundary of Qian Xue State. He felt faintly uneasy in his heart, always feeling that the Fiery Buddha’s escape path was too straightforward and without cover. It was a bit like confusing the vision. Gu Changhuai again thought of Mo Hua, returning to the sect alone, and unconsciously became somewhat worried. So he set out alone, wanting to return to the boundary of Qian Xue State to see.

Halfway through, his transmission order suddenly moved. Gu Changhuai took it out and saw the few messages Mo Hua had sent: “The Fiery Buddha wants to kill me!”

Gu Changhuai was greatly shocked in his heart, almost unable to breathe. The Fiery Buddha! He was chasing and killing Mo Hua! The transmission order also attached a location on Qing Cheng Mountain.

Gu Changhuai took a deep breath and immediately spurred his horse to run wildly, rushing towards Mo Hua’s location at full speed. At the same time, he also began to mobilize all the executive offices nearby, letting them rush to Qing Cheng Mountain. They were to search the mountain with all their might, surround and kill the Fiery Buddha!

The sun set in the west, and night gradually descended. The spirit horse ran faster and faster, the scenery on both sides almost like afterimages. Gu Changhuai looked into the distance, his heart anxious like burning, murmuring in a low voice: “Boy, may not die…”

Time passed little by little, and in a flash, it was midnight. Mo Hua and the Fiery Buddha had played “hide and seek” in the mountain for half the night. Mo Hua was tired and panting. The Fiery Buddha’s face was also full of disbelief. He couldn’t catch him… No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t catch him. Although he was at the peak of Foundation Building cultivation and had specially prepared a spirit tool to break concealment, he simply could not catch this little ghost in the complex mountain terrain. It was clearly a strange and remote mountain forest, but this little ghost was as if he were in his own courtyard.

His body method was good, he could conceal himself. He could hide anywhere. Sometimes he even used demonic beasts to drive the tiger and swallow the “wolf,” hindering himself. This made the Fiery Buddha, who was always accustomed to being simple and crude and greatly killing in all directions, very unadapted. This little ghost, could he be a demonic beast transformed…? Once he entered the mountain, it was like a fish entering the sea, or a falcon bird flying in the sky.

He miscalculated… The Fiery Buddha cursed secretly in his heart. He had originally thought that as long as he blocked this lone little ghost after receiving the message and broke his concealment, with his cultivation, abusing and killing a Foundation Building early stage little ghost would be easy. But he never expected this little ghost to be so troublesome. Where was there a bit of a Foundation Building early stage cultivator appearance?

But the harder he was to kill, the more he had to kill! If he couldn’t kill him now, and he really let him hide within the boundary of Qian Xue State, cultivate to the middle or even late stage of Foundation Building, then what? It would be even more unbelievably difficult to kill him then.

The Fiery Buddha’s eyes were red like fire. “Must kill!” Even if he had to expend himself, he must exhaust this little ghost to death. He was only at the early stage of Foundation Building. If he constantly used his body method and concealment, he would also have a time when his spiritual power was exhausted. At that time, he would not be able to dodge, nor could he conceal himself. He could then burn him to death and incinerate him to ashes to vent his hatred.

On the other side, Mo Hua was also very helpless. This Fiery Buddha was determined to chase and kill him. He had already led him around the mountain so many times, and he still hadn’t given up. It was as if he had a vendetta with him for killing his father… A dignified leader of the Demonic Cave, his mind was too narrow. If he weren’t an experienced little demon hunter, a little array master proficient in arrays, good at body methods, and also capable of concealment, and a smart person, he would have been caught by him by now. This way was not a solution…

Mo Hua hurriedly sent a message to Gu Changhuai: “Qing Cheng Mountain, south face cliff, right side mountain path, Uncle Gu, come quickly…” There was no reply from the other side. He didn’t know if he was on his way. Mo Hua sighed and could only grit his teeth, continuing to play “hide and seek” with the Fiery Buddha.

Fortunately, it was already night. The mountain night was very deep, and there were demonic beasts everywhere. Mo Hua stirred up the situation and could still muddle through. He could conceal himself and merge into the darkness. The Fiery Buddha, however, could not. When he walked in the mountain, he was like a ball of bright fire, very conspicuous everywhere, and very easy to alarm demonic beasts. This just violated the taboo of demonic beasts. Some high-level second-grade demonic beasts would fight with the Fiery Buddha. In this way, it actually helped Mo Hua.

Thus, the consumption continued until late night. Mo Hua was still being chased by the Fiery Buddha. The Fiery Buddha’s expression was cold, and he continued to attack fiercely, killing towards Mo Hua. Mo Hua still used his body method and concealment technique to entangle. But as the entanglement with the Fiery Buddha lasted too long, Mo Hua’s movements were already much slower. The Fiery Buddha’s gaze brightened. “Little stinky ghost, it’s time to die…”

He swept his sleeves, condensed a fire light, and chopped towards Mo Hua. Mo Hua used all his strength. Although he dodged it, his spiritual power was almost exhausted, his body method was unstable, and he fell to the side, his figure looking somewhat embarrassed. But Mo Hua still gritted his teeth, climbed up, and ran towards another narrow mountain valley.

“Seeking death.” The Fiery Buddha laughed coldly, continuing to follow Mo Hua and chase into the mountain valley. Seeing that Mo Hua was in danger, the Fiery Buddha again waved a fire blade. In the black night, the red fire blade was very conspicuous and full of killing intent. Just as this fire blade was about to chop at Mo Hua, several wind blades suddenly flew out from both sides, completely neutralizing this fire blade.

The Fiery Buddha was startled, turned his head to look, and saw Gu Changhuai standing far away, his handsome gaze full of killing intent. While Mo Hua used all his strength to activate an array. With a boom at the entrance, chaotic rocks fell, completely sealing the mountain valley.

The Fiery Buddha then understood. He had again been schemed against by this little ghost. Pretending to be no match, luring him over step by step, and then sealing the mountain valley. And in the mountain valley, a strong enemy was waiting for him. This mountain valley was not impossible to escape from. But whether climbing the rock or breaking the entrance, it all took time. At least under the gaze of a strong enemy, he didn’t have that leisure to escape. That is to say, either he or Gu Changhuai would live.

As for that little ghost… The Fiery Buddha glanced around and his gaze sank. He had disappeared again… That damned concealment technique again! The Fiery Buddha was extremely annoyed, but he also couldn’t care about Mo Hua. Next, a great battle was about to break out.

Gu Changhuai also knew that this was possibly the last chance to kill the Fiery Buddha. If he still couldn’t kill him, once he escaped and broke through his realm, advancing to Gold Core, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to kill him later. After all, he cultivated a terrible forbidden technique.

The Fiery Buddha was also fearless. This place was at the edge of the Qian Xue State boundary. If he entered the fifth-grade Qian Xue State boundary, Gu Changhuai would have no scruples and use his Gold Core treasure. He would definitely not be his opponent. But in this Qing Cheng Mountain, there were still second-grade restrictions. If Gu Changhuai could not suppress his cultivation and rashly used Gold Core power, then the one who died would be Gu Changhuai. He could take another step forward, using Gu Changhuai’s flesh and blood to refine his forbidden technique and increase his evil qi.

And that little ghost… As long as Gu Changhuai died, no one would protect him, and he would undoubtedly die too! He would even use the Falling Fire Technique, exploding inch by inch, to explode him out, crush his bones, and scatter his ashes!

The Fiery Buddha spread his arms, and fire rain filled the sky. Gu Changhuai waved his folding fan, and wind rolled like blades. Then, after a moment, wind and fire swept through, like a fiery peacock spreading its tail. Spiritual power and evil power collided, spells continuously strangled, and explosions rose one after another.

Mo Hua, far away, watched with fear and trembling. Fortunately, this mountain valley was still quite large, and he was also hiding relatively far, so he was temporarily unaffected. He seized the time to sit in meditation and rest, recovering his divine sense and spiritual power. Mo Hua rested while guarding against distant movements.

He didn’t know how long passed, but when Mo Hua opened his eyes, he found that the intense battle was still ongoing, and the sky was already slightly white. Mo Hua, whose divine sense and spiritual power had completely recovered, his gaze slightly cold. It was past midnight, and it was the seventh day. It was also the last day of the holiday. Within seven days, the Fiery Buddha must die! Mo Hua, who had been blocked and chased by the Fiery Buddha and had to escape in a panic for a night, had already stifled a belly full of fire.

“Want to send me on my way?” “I’ll send you on your way first!” Mo Hua slowly stood up, looking at the Fiery Buddha, his pupils instantly pitch black, as if covered with a deep night color.

The Fiery Buddha, who had been fighting with Gu Changhuai for a long time, instantly sensed something was wrong. He felt that his surrounding evil qi faintly showed signs of losing control. “What’s going on?” The Fiery Buddha was stern in his heart. After his recuperation, his evil qi had already recovered. How could it suddenly “lose control”?

“Could it be…” The Fiery Buddha looked around and indeed found Mo Hua on one side. Mo Hua’s whole aura was very strange, but because he was shrouded in the night color and his figure was dark, he couldn’t see clearly what it was at all. And the next moment, within the pitch blackness of Mo Hua’s pupils, a trace of white qi appeared.

The Heavenly Mechanism Derive Calculation, blessed by Strange Calculation, forcibly reversed the heavenly mechanism, causing cause and effect to reverse. The Fiery Buddha only felt that his whole body’s qi was chaotic, as if some chains had been forcibly twisted, and his surrounding evil qi actually began to reverse uncontrollably… Evil qi reversed?!

The Fiery Buddha’s face turned pale. This little ghost, how did he know? Where did he learn this kind of profound demonic path turn evil method?! Was he a true transmission disciple of the Magic Evil Sect? No, impossible… This little ghost was not a demonic cultivator…

The Fiery Buddha’s thoughts turned rapidly, and he suddenly startled. The 《Demonic Path Turn Evil True Decrees》 had been stolen by this little ghost… He couldn’t have… learned it on the spot, right? A chill surged in his heart. The Fiery Buddha only felt that his dao heart was about to shatter.

Before he could think carefully, the reversed evil qi had already invaded his whole body. The evil qi he had cultivated by killing countless people was now reversed by cause and effect, acting in reverse, all surging into his own divine sense. Hurting others inevitably hurts oneself. The Fiery Buddha’s face suddenly turned black and gray. His divine sense was also full of evil qi, with ferocious resentment and terrifying wails everywhere.

Gu Changhuai didn’t know what happened, but seeing the Fiery Buddha being backlashed by evil qi, he immediately struck hard. Wind blades gathered, condensing into a tornado long spear, and bombarded towards the Fiery Buddha’s chest.

The instant of a thousand pounds, the Fiery Buddha recovered a trace of clarity. Seeing the wind blade attack, the Fiery Buddha crossed both arms, his eyes blood red, and roared fiercely, interweaving all the evil fire, condensing a fire shield, blocking in front. The tornado long spear and the evil fire shield collided. Spiritual power and evil power were divided, wind and fire intertwined, and the surrounding mountain rocks were also crushed by spiritual power, turning to powder inch by inch.

After the spiritual power fluctuations dissipated. The Fiery Buddha’s body’s kasaya was already tattered. His arms were full of tiny blood marks cut by the wind blades, obviously severely injured. While Gu Changhuai on the other side, his aura had also weakened a lot, obviously consuming a huge amount of spiritual power.

Within the mountain valley, it suddenly quieted down. Gu Changhuai’s gaze was somewhat solemn.

He didn’t know how long passed, but the Fiery Buddha’s low sunken laughter sounded. “Good, good…” “To force me to this extent…” The Fiery Buddha’s voice was icy cold, gradually not like a human voice. “Since matters have come to this, then I will abandon this human skin and thoroughly convert to the honorable lord…”

Before he finished speaking, the Fiery Buddha didn’t know when he took out a blood pill the size of a dragon eye. The blood pill seemed to be refined from blood and flesh, and it was still slightly trembling. The Fiery Buddha grabbed the pill and stuffed it into his mouth. His speed was extremely fast. Gu Changhuai’s wind blade and Mo Hua’s fireball were both too late to stop him.

After the pill entered his mouth, the Fiery Buddha’s expression became ferocious. In his chest, two fiery hearts suddenly beat, already having the shape of an evil path treasure embryo. The Fiery Buddha’s flesh also expanded quickly, growing two feet taller in a blink of an eye. Foul karma fire burned all over his body. His face, skin and flesh were all burned away, as if disfigured by fierce fire, hideously unbearable. At the same time, his aura climbed another section.

“Gu Changhuai…” The Fiery Buddha’s voice was hoarse and terrifying. “Today, if you don’t use your Gold Core power, you will die, but if you use your Gold Core power, you will still die…”

The Fiery Buddha waved his palm, and a scarlet ghost-faced fire blade broke through the air, its aura terrifying, and killed towards Gu Changhuai. Gu Changhuai’s expression was solemn. He waved his folding fan, condensing a wind shield to block, but he could not block it at all. The wind shield was split by the fire blade. Gu Changhuai retreated several steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He gritted his teeth: “You evil beast… you are not even human…”

The Fiery Buddha laughed coldly. “The ‘human’ you speak of refers to that body of ‘human’ skin, right?” “In this world, are there still few people wearing this skin and doing demonic things?” “The ‘people’ wearing human skin, sometimes may be more beastly than beasts…”

Gu Changhuai’s face was filled with anger, and he again stimulated wind blades, killing towards the Fiery Buddha. But this time, the Fiery Buddha did not avoid, letting the wind blades strike his body, cutting open his flesh and blood, and breaking his skin. In a flash, this flesh and blood regenerated as before.

“Flesh and blood regenerate?” Gu Changhuai’s face turned slightly pale, and he was stern in his heart. If this was the case, he simply could not kill this “evil beast” transformed Fiery Buddha.

Just at this time, Mo Hua on one side shouted: “Uncle Gu, attack its heart pulse fiercely!” Gu Changhuai was startled and immediately understood. The Fiery Buddha’s heart pulse nurtured his natal evil path treasure embryo. It was both the source of the Fiery Buddha’s whole body’s evil power spells and the Fiery Buddha’s vital point.

The Fiery Buddha’s expression also changed. “Little evil spawn!” But when its divine sense swept, it still could not discover Mo Hua. After abandoning human form, its evil power was stronger, and its flesh and blood could also regenerate, but it lost its “humanity,” and its divine sense would degenerate… The Fiery Buddha simply could not see Mo Hua.

And at this moment, Gu Changhuai also began to follow Mo Hua’s words, controlling the wind blades, forcibly strangling the Fiery Buddha’s heart pulse. The Fiery Buddha’s eyes revealed anger, but he could only think of ways to cover his chest with his left arm to block the wind blades. With his right arm, he displayed spells and fought with Gu Changhuai.

And after several fierce battles, Gu Changhuai’s spiritual power suddenly became sluggish. He then discovered that his spiritual power was already not much left. Gu Changhuai was bitter in his heart. After all, he was only one person. Even if his spiritual power was thick, he could not be like the Fiery Buddha, who could kill people to refine evil, supplement with evil pills, and even abandon his human body, fall into evil, and regenerate flesh and blood. The power of “human” was limited.

Gu Changhuai’s meridians suddenly felt a sharp pain. He knew that this was a sign of excessive spiritual power usage. His meridians, which had continuously condensed spells, were already damaged. If he continued to consume, he feared he would really be at the end of his rope… And Mo Hua…

Gu Changhuai bit through his lip, leaving blood, and was furious in his heart: “Damn it!” “No matter what, I must kill the Fiery Buddha first!” “Directly use Gold Core power…” “Gamble once…” “See if I kill the Fiery Buddha first, or if heavenly dao kills me first…”

Gu Changhuai’s eyes ignited with a determined killing intent. His dantian ignited the dan fire, his body was enveloped in a layer of fine light, and on his right hand, a seven-colored peacock feather treasure fan also appeared, flowing with colorful light and astonishing spiritual power.

The Fiery Buddha was also stunned. It looked at Gu Changhuai with both fear and shock. It didn’t expect Gu Changhuai to actually dare… to actually dare to use Gold Core power in this second-grade territory… He really wasn’t afraid of death… A trace of playful sarcasm appeared in the Fiery Buddha’s gaze.

Gu Changhuai’s face was as cold as water, his killing intent bone-deep, his natal treasure had already manifested, and his Gold Core power was in operation. Just at this time, he suddenly startled, and then his pupils suddenly shook. The Fiery Buddha was just standing in front of him. While at this moment, Gu Changhuai saw a fuzzy figure, taking advantage of the Fiery Buddha’s attention being on himself, and while it laughed coldly at himself, it had actually unknowingly circled behind the Fiery Buddha.

Then… from the void, two small hands suddenly appeared. The two hands spread, and each palm condensed a fireball. Just ordinary, nothing special fireballs. But in a flash, the fire light suddenly changed. It seemed to be pressed by an extremely strong force, and the two fireballs suddenly collided and then each distorted. Inside the fireballs, it was as if something had directly collapsed, and then forcibly aggregated together again…

The spell aura instantly twisted and changed. The inherent spiritual power structure changed, and even unfathomable patterns mutually appeared and restructured. At the same time, it was accompanied by powerful spiritual energy. The two fireballs, struggling, deforming, fused together, forming a smaller, but more terrifying, faintly purple-black, like magma intertwined fireball.

The Fiery Buddha felt something was wrong. He felt that something extremely terrible was condensing behind him. He wanted to turn back, but it was already too late. A familiar and crisp, but icy cold voice sounded by his ear: “You want to teach me spells?”

At that instant, an incomparable scorching severe pain transmitted from his back. That was the feeling of terrifying fire system spiritual power burning flesh and blood. Subsequently, a violent but steady explosion sounded. The Fiery Buddha only felt that in his eyes, distorted spiritual power and violent flames were raging. When he looked down again, he saw that his chest had been bombarded through by the spell, exposing a black hole.
