Shi Wen lay fallen on the ground.
His limbs had been severed, with only some tough fascia still connecting them.
His chest had been sliced open with layer upon layer of savage, horrifying wounds. The area around his heart had especially been cut into a hole as large as a washbasin!
By all reason, he was on the verge of death.
Even if he did not die, he might as well have been waiting to die!!!
Yet strangely, despite his body being mangled to such a horrific extent, his heart had transformed into magma, radiating scorching heat. Wave after wave of vast, dense blood plasma circulated from his heart to every part of his body!
One, two, three—
Countless crimson-black tendons rapidly grew from his heart, instantly covering his entire body and continuing to surge toward every part of his limbs!
Densely packed dragon tendons erupted from his heart.
They greedily devoured every tendon, vein, and fascia within Shi Wen's body, replacing them completely!
Crimson-black dragon scales the size of fingernails spread densely from his chest across his entire body. Thick armor resembling bone growth formed over vital areas such as his eyes, ears, throat, and joints. Even more terrifyingly, rows of bone spurs of varying sizes protruded from his spine, until a several-meter-long crimson-black tailbone jutted out from his backside!!
With every breath he took,
Every bone in his body let out the piercing screech of metal grinding together, while his muscles seemed to have been reforged from molten iron.
His body had shrunk by a full size.
Yet his appearance had become even more terrifying!!
It was as though the useless bulging mass of muscle had been compressed into tougher, denser flesh.
At the severed parts of his limbs and chest,
Countless flesh buds rapidly grew and intertwined.
