Bare from the waist up, Li Huowang gasped for air, his face contorted in pain. He watched helplessly as his body uncontrollably split open and sealed shut, over and over. Sweat, born from the torment, trickled into the raw fissures in his flesh, making his body convulse in agony. He had endured greater agony in the past, but those sensations were always fleeting. This pain, however, was constant and only grew in intensity.
Bai Lingmiao tried to help, performing a Divination Ritual and invoking spirits, but nothing she summoned had any effect on Li Huowang. He knew it was useless. This torment came from the Fate Commander Bahu; in Bahu's eyes, these lesser entities were no match for him.
