After absorbing the Primordial Phoenix's Blood Essence, time seemed to slow to a standstill for Yuan as he was consumed by endless, indescribable pain.
Minutes turned into hours, and hours into days, yet the invisible flames continued to burn Yuan relentlessly, showing no sign of fading anytime soon.
Even worse, the pain from the invisible flames only grew more intense with each passing moment.
Two weeks later, the invisible flames had spread across the entire world, engulfing it completely and causing the very fabric of space to warp and ripple without end. Yet, the trees appeared completely fine, as if the flames didn't even exist.
As for Yuan, he had stopped screaming, but that didn't mean the pain had vanished. Even as his tolerance grew, the strength of the invisible flames always outpaced it by just enough to keep him in constant, unrelenting agony.
Suddenly—
Ding!
