The moment the two bloodlines were unleashed, they didn't waste time and got right to it. It was on sight—no hesitation, no mercy. Xiang Yu's body became their battlefield, and he felt the devastation immediately. His spleen ruptured first, followed by his lungs in the next heartbeat.
The pain transcended his previous experiences, reaching heights he hadn't thought possible. Despite his growing tolerance, the bloodlines seemed determined to push his threshold higher. It was as though they recognized his adaptation and deliberately intensified their conflict to maintain his suffering.
An hour into this internal war, Xiang Yu slipped another healing pill between his blood-flecked lips. Though the agony remained unrelenting, he took grim satisfaction in his endurance. The dragon bloodline's contribution to his hardened skin and reinforced bones had increased his durability, while the phoenix bloodline's enhanced healing capabilities worked tirelessly to counteract the damage.
