——Because that meant he, as a Divine Envoy, was already dead!
At that moment, the elder had thought it was just a little joke played by the Divine Envoy, whose mana reached the heavens.
For in the elder's eyes, the Divine Envoy was no different from a Terrestrial Immortal.
How could such an existence die?
But...
The elder felt an unbearable dryness in his mouth, and he could only feel the talismanic symbols on his skin becoming hotter and hotter. It had even become so scalding that it felt as if boiling water had been poured over his body.
The elder's entire body trembled frantically, and unable to endure the agony, he collapsed to the ground and let out successive screams.
The intense burning sensation forced him to extend his hands and tear his clothes into shreds.
"So hot, so hot!" the elder cried out in shock and horror, pain and fear: "Divine Envoy! The Divine Envoy's joke is real! So hot! Water, I... I need water!!"
