A primordial Qi surge exploded from his body, repelling the nearest Rakshasas in a crash of broken bones. BaiShe's stature amplified, his musculature becoming denser under his tunic that now seemed too tight. Golden scales, inherited from the Golden Dragon lineage devoured from Lin Feng, but boosted by Long Huang's essence, began to appear on his forearms and temples.
His hands became claws. Moreover, his aura did not merely increase; it changed in nature, becoming dominating and imbued with absolute pride.
It was the Qi of Pride, inherited from Long Huang. This energy did not only seek to injure the body; it targeted the soul, imposing an ancestral hierarchy where anything that was not of pure dragon blood was considered dust.
The five-horned Rakshasas, creatures that normally knew neither fear nor doubt, stopped dead.
Their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably. The Khao that animated them seemed to suffocate under the weight of this draconic pride.
