Brother Ji Yin's faith wasn't very firm, but his fear of death made up for it.
Even though the orange eyes opened agonizingly slowly, he managed to keep himself under control, never opening his eyes or making a sound.
But the moment it detonated, he lost control and jerked his head down to look at himself.
There was nothing particularly unusual to see, but after lowering his head, he never raised it again.
His body, already trembling and losing blood, seemed to have had its bones pulled right out of it. He slumped there like a pile of sludge.
Fortunately, that wasn't the only change. The chlorophyll in his body was also draining away at an astonishing speed.
It seemed to have worked pretty well.
As the Higher Being who had unleashed the calamity, Fu Qian had an even clearer sense of its effects.
Although he hadn't activated Mythical Form, the calamity that had just detonated inside his follower had still wrought considerable destruction.
That mass of animated greenery, using bones as soil to plant a forest inside the flesh, had been crushed outright.
The bones had been damaged along with it.
At that moment, nearly half of the same kind of tissue inside Brother Ji Yin had been shattered.
Collapsing there was the least of it. If he weren't a Transcendent, he'd have a hard time surviving.
He might even have endangered the other Greedy Worms.
As things stood, at least the damage wasn't getting any worse.
"Ji Yin... how are you?"
From the praying man's reaction, Tooth Choker seemed to have realized something. But his current appearance still startled her, and she couldn't help asking cautiously.
"I'm all right..."
As everyone waited anxiously, Ji Yin finally managed to force out a reply, though his head still hung limply.
