The Human Emperor (200-400)

C283: The Criminal of Great Tang, Zhang Wentuo

Hong long!

Just as Wang Chong thought that the burning sensation within him was finally dying down, his organs suddenly jolted, and a powerful and heavy energy reminiscent of metallic juice was abruptly pumped into every single inch of Wang Chong's lungs.

For that single instant, Wang Chong thought that he would suffocate to death. That overwhelming energy was searing and dense, taking up every single bit of space in his lungs, depriving him of his ability to breathe.

That heaviness weighing on his chest slowly amplified, threatening to crush him from within.

Weng!

Just as Wang Chong thought that he was just about to collapse, the heavy, searing metallic juices finally drained away, leaving a tiny gap for air.

At that instant, Wang Chong felt as if he was a drowning man who had barely struggled to the surface, and he gasped heavily for air.

Sssssss!

His breathing was so loud that even the maids and servants outside the room could hear it clearly.

Ahhh! I feel like I have just been put through Hell! Power indeed doesn't come easily!, Wang Chong thought as his chest expanded and contracted rapidly.

Organs were the vitals of the human body, as well as its weakness. Unfortunately, there were no cultivation techniques that could strengthen one's organs.

Even the strongest experts could only strengthen their organs slightly through nourishing them with Origin Energy.

This was the first time Wang Chong had encountered such a mystical thing.

In terms of the effectiveness of body tempering, Gold Organs was definitely top-notch, standing even above that of the Dragon Bone Art.

Weng!

Wang Chong felt extremely warm inside. As he breathed, he could feel the heavy metallic juices slowly seeping into his other organs, such as his heart and kidneys.

The searing energy seeped into every single cell, slowing fusing with his body.

A sensation he had never experienced before tingled his senses. Wang Chong felt as though his body was floating in the air, growing lighter by the moment.

Not only that, as the Gold Organ energy continued to fuse with his body, he could also feel a change in his perception of his surroundings—it was as if he was immersed in water.

This feeling wasn't too obvious in the beginning, but it grew stronger by the moment. It seemed like what that was surrounding him wasn't air, but some kind of thick fluid.

"So this is the effects of the Gold Organs..."

The changes happening within his body allowed Wang Chong a deeper understanding of what “an enhanced intimacy between a martial artist and the world's Origin Energy” meant.

Wang Chong could also feel the existence of Origin Energy before, but it was a fleeting sensation, something intangible and impossible to grasp.

But at this moment, Wang Chong felt as if he could feel it with his hands and grasp it with his fingers.

That wasn't all. Wang Chong could even sense the flow of energy in the surroundings. However, this area of this perception was limited only a distance of around five to six zhang.

(~18m)

Nevertheless, it was already a formidable feat.

Even a Profound Martial realm cultivator wouldn't be capable of this.
