Chapter 84. Li Chen.

Elder Chen Xiu was forcibly thrown back by the sheer magnitude of the impact, soaring through the air haphazardly before finally gaining control over his trajectory.

He gawked in astonishment towards the origin of the powerful blow, where the enigmatic figure stood.

Observing his arm, the place where the ominous energy orb had made its mark, he noted the area growing progressively darker. The skin began to reveal signs of decay as if the life within was being siphoned away, replaced by an inexorable rot.

Elder Chen Xiu, an accomplished body refiner with a lifetime of cultivation under his belt, could only gaze at the troubling decay spreading across his arm.

His body, a hardened fortress honed through relentless refinement, was exceptionally resilient.

He was a titan among his celestial peers, his physique nearing a state of invulnerability where attacks would scarcely leave a scratch.
