Su Yi raised a thumb, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and smiled. "It's nothing. I just put too much force into that sword strike earlier."
Killing Founder-level expert Shaohao Qinggu had indeed been a desperate gamble for Su Yi.
That strike had not only used the Nine Hells Sword, his greatest trump card, but had also exhausted all his cultivation and drawn upon the power of the Zhou Xu Rules.
Only then had he been able to kill a Founder who had set foot in the Ultimate Realm with a single strike.
Had it only been that one strike, it would have been fine.
But when aiding the Judge, Su Yi had thrown caution to the wind and unleashed another similar strike, causing him to suffer a severe backlash.
Cracks had even appeared in his Life Origin!
Fortunately, with Nirvana Power, Su Yi was not worried that this would leave behind any hidden dangers.
He merely needed time to recover.
Su Yi made it sound easy, but who could fail to see that his condition was far from optimistic?
At once, everyone stopped talking and hurried onward, seizing every moment they could.
After only the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they arrived at the Phoenix Tree Grotto-Heaven, where the Mystic Phoenix God Race resided.
Phoenix World Zenith personally arranged for Su Yi to cultivate in seclusion within the forbidden ground, "Phoenix Tree Heaven," and presented him with the clan's rarest Chaos Dao medicine.
Su Yi did not stand on ceremony. From that day onward, he began cultivating in seclusion within the Mystic Phoenix God Race.
Meanwhile, the Judge, Bi Chen, bade them farewell and returned to the Sea Eye Ruin.
Suppressed by that talismanic edict, the Judge had likewise suffered grave injuries.
