A searing heatwave carrying the pungent smell of ozone rushed toward him. The lightning hadn't even struck, but its oppressive Power already felt like a mountain crashing down.
In that instant, the color drained from Su Chen's face, and a chill shot down his spine.
'This Power... something's wrong!'
He reacted in a flash. Streams of light interwove behind him, projecting the image of the Reflected Great Venerable onto his body. At the same time, he rapidly enhanced the various Secret Artifacts fused within him.
Due to absorbing the metallic solution, his body had been in a constant state of Secret Artifact Enhancement recently.
BOOM!
A blinding, incandescent white light exploded before Su Chen's eyes. His limbs first grew as hot as branding irons, then an agonizing, needle-like pain erupted from the depths of his marrow. His muscles twitched uncontrollably, as if being repeatedly pummeled by an invisible sledgehammer. His bones groaned, and his blood felt like it was boiling.
