Inside the old but magnificent temple, Su Xiao had recovered some health after drinking a Vitality Elixir, but every part of his body still tingled painfully as dark energy raged through him.
Fortunately, Su Xiao was a Shadow of Law Destruction. His Blue Steel Shadow energy possessed a powerful energy-devouring property. Otherwise, even if he had defeated the Abyssal Archbishop, he would have died from the subsequent invasion of dark energy.
