Ye Tian's situation was exceedingly dire, but Scorpion King and Fire Monkey were powerless to help. After all, the difference between humans and demon beasts was as vast as heaven and earth. At this moment, neither demon could aid Ye Tian.
That consuming the Xing Crystal would bring such a fierce backlash had caught even Ye Tian somewhat off guard. He understood his present condition, but had no time to attend to anything else. He could only do his utmost to guard his mind and keep his divine consciousness from perishing. So long as he endured this stretch, he would surely recover swiftly.
Yet this pure physical pain was something Ye Tian had never experienced before, and it pierced from his body straight into the depths of his soul.
Ye Tian even developed an illusion that this pain had become a conscious living creature, roaming wantonly through his body.
At this moment, Ye Tian's body slowly began to turn cold. Both Scorpion King and Fire Monkey felt that perhaps Ye Tian could no longer survive this trial.
But the next instant, Ye Tian's body abruptly sat upright, and the spiritual energy throughout his body rapidly returned to its proper place.
Every wound on his body began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Yet every three breaths, the sound of bones bursting rang out, making Scorpion King and Fire Monkey's hearts pound in terror.
Before long, however, those sounds vanished. Aside from his blood-soaked clothes, Ye Tian no longer had a single wound on his body.
When Ye Tian opened his eyes and looked at Scorpion King and Fire Monkey, he opened his mouth to speak, only to find his throat so dry that not a word came out. Scorpion King hurriedly handed him a cup of water.
