299 Ling Chen’s new look.

Verid Empire's Imperial Palace.

Within the forbidden room of the Verid Empire's Imperial Palace, an old man dressed in a simple style could be seen seating in a meditative stance with both of his eyes closed, surrounded by numerous blood red crystals.

The old man looked extremely old. He only had a few strands of white hair left. His entire body appeared to be like a dried-up skeleton with only his skin remained.

The old man looked like someone who appeared to have on breath left. It was like someone who was patiently waiting for his inevitable demise or death.

Nonetheless, despite the old man's humble robes and his corpse-like appearance, he had the image of a stately emperor. It was as if he had once soared into the nine heavens and conquered the four directions, a natural-born ruler.

Not only that, but his corpse-like body was also emanating a terrifying and shiver-inducing aura.
