Xia Bingxuan was even worse off. This sudden golden light seemed to carry a strong electric current, causing her to be thrown a few metres away.

In the midst of his blurry vision, Shen Lian seemed to see a vermilion bird fly out from the crack on the Seven Apertures Mask. It flapped its wings and lifted its head to open its mouth.

Shen Lian saw that there was a pigeon egg-sized golden pellet in its mouth, giving it a mysterious glow.

"AHH!"

Shen Lian was shocked by this sudden turn of events.

"Swish …"

The vermilion bird flapped its wings and the pill in its mouth turned into a golden light. It flew through the air and entered Shen Lian's open mouth.

Before Shen Lian could figure out what exactly happened, he felt a strange heat flow from his mouth that carried a strong smell of medicine. The heat melted from his tongue and slid into his throat before spreading to his stomach.

Soon, Shen Lian's whole body was scorching hot. At the same time, he could feel his flesh and veins continuously 'expanding'.

"Okay."

Very quickly, in this kind of "expansion"

This indescribable pain continued to corrode Shen Lian's body. He even felt as though all the cells in his body were about to explode!

This feeling was simply too unbearable. Shen Lian involuntarily opened his mouth, wanting to cry out. However, he discovered that his mouth was gaping wide, unable to make a sound!

Therefore, Shen Lian could not help but roll onto the ground. He used both hands to hold the back of his head and continuously hit the ground. He wanted to alleviate this great pain, but no matter how much he tossed and turned, it was useless … Just then, Xia Bingxuan had already crawled back up. Seeing Shen Lian who was struggling painfully on the ground, she wanted to help him up.

But just as Xia Bingxuan was about to walk over, the strange vermillion bird that was flying in the air suddenly flapped its wings.

"Hu Chi!"

A wave of heat wave rolled across, causing Xia Bingxuan to immediately feel that there was an invisible layer of force surrounding Shen Lian's body, forcefully separating her from Shen Lian who was in close proximity, preventing her from getting close to Shen Lian.

Xia Bingxuan seemed to have thought of something, she stopped and looked at the strange vermilion bird, her autumn watery eyes flashed with an incomparably strange light. Then, she stared closely at Shen Lian, who was still painfully struggling on the ground, but did not move forward again … Only after an unknown amount of time had passed did Shen Lian finally feel that the deadly pain in his body had gradually disappeared and was replaced by a comfortable feeling in every pore of his body. His limbs, bones, and even his heart, were all filled with an indescribable vigor.

Shen Lian's hands and feet had also regained their control, and his consciousness was back in his head.

It was just that a scorching heat was still wrapped around Shen Lian's head, making his entire body feel drowsy. It was almost incongruous compared to his body's intense reaction. However, his consciousness had already gradually awoken from this strange dizziness.

Soon after, an even more inconceivable scene appeared: The strange vermilion bird that flew out of the Seven Apertures Mausoleum of Books flew around his head in a circle in the air before suddenly transforming into a dazzling red light and shooting towards the space between his eyes … Swoosh!

He entered Shen Lian's Mantra.

Shen Lian suddenly felt an explosion in his head, and a scorching heat wave that could topple mountains and overturn the seas was generated in his mind.

Immediately, he felt a strange sensation as he surrounded Shen Lian. He could feel his heart pounding, as though a strange force was forcefully tearing his head apart. Shen Lian even felt as though his brain was split in half by this force, as though he was a bystander looking at everything that happened to him.

As for the other half, it wasn't under his control at all. It was creating a strange consciousness for no reason, and at this moment, what was controlling his body was precisely that strange consciousness of the latter … Then, the red light that drilled into Shen Lian's mind turned into a series of characters that looked like snakes. There were also many strange symbols that started to appear in his mind …
