As Ye Tian stood in the forest, the Death Dragon's Heart began to shift.
The massive, pulsating organ that floated in the air started to dissolve.
Not entirely, but as if shedding its physical form, it disintegrated into particles of purplish-black energy.
The dark essence swirled, glowing faintly under the moonlight, before converging in a concentrated cloud.
The energy didn't linger long. It shot forward, phasing into Ye Tian's body without resistance, as though it had been waiting for this moment.
He braced himself for pain, but to his surprise, he felt nothing... not even discomfort.
Instead, an eerie calm washed over him as the energy flowed through his veins.
However, his body began to change.
His heart, once an ordinary organ, turned jet black, pulsing faintly with an aura of death.
