He wasn't sure if it was due to the Elixir he'd ingested or the surrounding flames, but everything he saw began to distort.
The skeletons that should have lain motionless around him started to grow like trees, twisting bizarrely as they extended.

With Li Huowang's screams, the fire seemed to find an entrance. It burrowed into him instantly, beginning to scorch his internal organs from the inside.
"Xuanyang, my friend, it is time," said Shou San, walking over and spreading the Great Thousand Record on the ground in front of Li Huowang.
Tortured by a dual agony, to the point where death would have been a mercy, Li Huowang looked out through the layers of flames.
