The death of the Golden Emperor (II)

Cain's eyes glowed with focus as he incinerated the Golden Emperor's head, then extended his gray flaming aura across the rest of the man's body. He made sure to burn every cell of the man but also focused on minimizing the destruction of the black root to the minimum.

It took Cain less than ten seconds to burn every inch of the Golden Emperor's body, leaving a massive black root in place.

Cain's eyes narrowed as he stepped back, just in time to avoid the black root that lashed toward him. Like the evil halberd, this thing was alive, and now that the Golden Emperor was gone, it began to search for a new host it could consume.

"¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!"

The black roots swirled around the cultivation abode as they reached toward Cain. Having consumed so much of the Golden Emperor, it had become very powerful, enough to overwhelm an ordinary Titan without a problem.
