Within the void of his sea of qi, there was nothing but emptiness. This time, in his head-on clash with the Devil Emperor, all the Silver Secret Treasures Zhang Tie had kept in his sea of qi—including that heavy wolf-tooth club, the sledgehammer, and a pile of shields—had exploded. But that was not the main point. The main point was that, apart from those pieces of equipment vanishing, all the Battle Qi in Zhang Tie's sea of qi had also been completely wiped out.
A gray, mist-like energy occupied the void of Zhang Tie's sea of qi. That energy had devoured every last trace of Battle Qi within it.
Zhang Tie was all too familiar with this energy, because it was exactly the same as the energy the Thunder of Annihilation had left inside his body when it had severely injured him last time.
This discovery nearly made Zhang Tie cough up blood again. The last time the Thunder of Annihilation's energy had entered his body, if he had not encountered the Golden and Silver Twin Saints, he did not even know whether he could have found a way out. He had never expected to encounter the very same thing for a second time after arriving in the Sky-Piercing Realm.
