"Cough, cough!"
Xu Nian clutched his chest, violently coughing up mouthfuls of fresh blood.
Although the palm strike had not shattered his Scale Armor, it had caused his internal organs to shake violently.
It nearly shattered them.
Had it not been for the great enhancement of his physical body from devouring that Emperor Snake,
that palm strike would likely have cost him his life.
Additionally, the dragon scale had absorbed most of the force, allowing him to cling to life.
But even so, the pain was immense, and his injuries were not light.
"He's not dead?" Seeing that Xu Nian had actually withstood his own palm strike and was still alive,
the Dark Pope's face showed a hint of surprise.
Clearly, he had not expected the young man's body to possess such a strong capacity for endurance.
His Cultivation might not have reached the peak, but he certainly possessed strength comparable to a Five-star Battle Emperor.
