Even though the ground was now made of stone, it couldn't withstand the indescribable heat and impact. Almost in an instant, all exposed stones were shattered into pieces, and those that weren't shattered had turned a deep red, as if scorched by fire!

In an instant, it reached a height of a hundred feet. From a distance, it looked like a blazing torch, visible even from hundreds of miles away!
