"CURSE YOU, YOU LITTLE BASTARD!!"
Emperor Garrick's roar fractured the catacombs. Solar fire erupted from his pores with such savagery that the ancient bedrock turned into boiling lava in an instant. Losing his beloved mount was an agony, but watching this Void demon engulf it like common food obliterated the remnant of his sanity.
Yet right in front of him, Ethan didn't blink.
The mass of mana harvested from the Golden Eagle swept through his meridians like a boiling tide. The amethyst gems embedded across his arms and torso flared with a gold-violet radiance, merging with the runes of the Sutra of the Five Elements Imperishable Body. His muscles expanded, his spiritual aura rose exponentially, and his cultivation foundation locked into the peak of the Spiritual Transcendence Realm.
"Ahhh...", exhaled Ethan, releasing a plume of golden and violet smoke from his lips. "What clean, pure power..."
"I WILL SKIN YOU ALIVE!!"
