The Monk stood on the Human Head Lotus Platform, his expression vicious. He stared at Yang An and spoke, enunciating every word.
But before he could finish, a colossal, luminous arm erupted from the motionless Yang An on the ground. It moved with unimaginable speed, instantly seizing the Monk.
It happened so fast the Monk couldn't even react. The words died in his throat as he felt an immense power surge violently into his body.
An intense, searing heat, as if his body were being filled with molten lava, caused his Mana to collapse in an instant. He didn't even have time to activate his Power of Rules before this new energy burst out from within him.
In that instant, brilliant light erupted from every pore of the Monk's body, as well as his eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth. This light coalesced into something like a searing white flame, detonating in mid-air in a spectacular burst of fireworks.
