Judging from the angle of the tear in the wound, it appears that Furnace Heart Venerable was ambushed from behind.
He immediately launched a counterattack.
This resulted in his back leaving behind scars that formed a bizarre crescent-shaped black pattern. It's clearly a tear wound, yet it seems to be branded with some kind of sinister symbol.
Even the divinity of a Supreme cannot suppress the force entrenched within. The Holy Healing Potion, known as the divine medicine, is equally helpless against it.
The last time Li Ye saw a similar situation was on the thigh of Hong Lan, the Hong Family Master.
That was divine contamination from the Blood Knight civilization, almost paralyzing Hong Lan's legs.
And Furnace Heart Venerable's wound, while somewhat similar in form, was starkly different in color.
Li Ye looked at this wound, his mind racing. Furnace Heart was indeed targeted for assassination.
If it wasn't self-directed, then he's certainly not Zi Shu.
