Shi Hao sat cross-legged, his body trembling uncontrollably, as he endured immense agony. From his body, clusters of fiery character-light erupted, scorching his flesh until it became blurred and mangled.
As described by those outside, some places had already turned into massive chasms.
It was as if his dilapidated armor was riddled with gaping holes, appearing utterly pitiful.
But this was no mere armor; it was his fleshly body. For such damage to emerge was both disastrous and perilous. Typically, igniting divine flames ushers in a perfect metamorphosis, making one even stronger!
Yet, in his case, it was clear his body was severely injured. His energy and blood vitality were depleting, and if this persisted, his physical form would wither up entirely.
Hiss!
The flames surged even higher. Some parts of Shi Hao's flesh began to shrivel, and where the skin broke, luminous white bones were revealed.
"How excruciating!"
