The shocked Human Emperor Heavenly Soldier: your self-healing witchcraft is too blasphemous!

Within the dark passage.

Countless Strong Acid Claws surged like a tide.

They seemed to have caught an irresistible scent and were rushing madly toward a certain spot.

Just as the Strong Acid Claws piled on top of one another...

Squelch!

Several dazzling flashes swept past, instantly reducing those hundred-odd Strong Acid Claws to a heap of chunks.

A towering figure roughly 2.8 meters tall emerged from the shadows nearby.

He wore a heavy suit of Powered Armor.

Numerous scattered patches marred the deep-purple armor, ruining its overall symmetry and beauty.

Clearly, this suit of Powered Armor had been repaired again and again over a very long time.

Zhenshan walked over silently and crushed the last struggling Strong Acid Claw beneath his foot.

Then, with practiced ease, he shut off two switches on either side of the hatch.

Both switches were set into reliefs of red, six-winged phoenixes.
