The black flames slowly receded, revealing Cao Yuan's original skin. He held the "Forbidden Scroll" around his neck, and the blood-red color in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by intense coughing.

Lin Qiye released the tape in his hand, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Cao Yuan in his mad devil state was indeed unbelievably strong. If Lin Qiye didn't have two forbidden artifacts in his hands, plus his divine might that restrained the "Black King's Annihilation," this battle might not have been won so easily.

Cao Yuan, shirtless, lay on the ground, gasping heavily. His gaze fell on Lin Qiye, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
