Li Chengtian leaned against a snow-covered boulder, panting heavily. His Essence pulsed, his body radiating a scorching heat. Wisps of hot steam spewed from his pores, melting the surrounding snow. Large patches of charred scars flaked off as his muscles and skin slowly regenerated.
Specks of dried blood dotted the area around his eyes, ears, nostrils, and the corners of his lips—injuries from the mental explosion caused by the detonated Cyan Flame. However, as time passed, his damaged Sea of Silver gradually calmed and recovered, and the mental anguish faded just as quickly.
After a long while, Li Chengtian stood up, spear in hand. In a flash, he vanished into the woods.
Not long after, a heavily armored military Chariot came rampaging through the forest, stopping beside the boulder Li Chengtian had just been leaning against.
