Iron Pillar (2/3)

Two more days passed before Zhou Heng finally stopped again. He had at last fully absorbed the medicinal power of the Extreme Flame Earth Fruit.

Thirteen-manifestation Ascension Emperor!

A sacred medicine was truly a sacred medicine—its effects were simply heaven-defying!

He could not help but marvel. If he had eaten all three Extreme Flame Earth Fruits, just how far would his strength have soared?

Heh heh, she would have to pay the price!

"What are you doing?
