Alexander felt a sudden heat rise in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Inside his body, near his heart, the small divine dragon continued to spiral. However, a small glowing point had appeared near its position.
Tiny streams of red light were slowly converging on this point, causing it to grow larger and larger.
Alexander could feel the sacred aura and searing heat emanating from this glowing point.
It was clear—this was the Firebird essence manifesting within his body.
But unlike the time he absorbed the divine dragon essence, this process was entirely different.
Absorbing the divine dragon essence had not increased the strain on his body; in fact, it had lightened the burden to some extent after the process was complete.
