Outside, rain poured in torrents as lightning flashed and thunder roared. Less than half a minute after using the Invisibility Mirage Pearl to leave that ruined, dilapidated building, Zhang Tie felt a wave of dizziness wash over his head. For a moment, he could barely sustain the Invisibility Mirage Pearl's effect.
The "Advent" formula secret art of the Infinite Roc King Scripture had turned him into a giant egg, allowing him to pass through layer upon layer of spatial barriers amid that peril-ridden realm of spatial interstices and cracks, cross endless elemental tides, evade the Sovereign Demon God's repeated obstructions, and finally wrest a sliver of life from utter despair before returning to this world.
Yet the backlash from using the "Advent" formula secret art of the Infinite Roc King Scripture began to reveal itself the instant Zhang Tie broke out of his shell.
"Advent" meant rebirth, and rebirth meant weakness. This was the Way of Heaven; the Way of Heaven could not be defied!
This was also the price Zhang Tie had paid after choosing between drifting through the endless spatial interstices until he died and returning here.
Without this method, he could not have returned. The Sovereign Demon God's calculations would have come true, and he would eventually have become a speck of dust in that unknown space, or drifted until death. But if he wanted to return, he had to endure the "weakness period" following the use of the "Advent" formula secret art.
When weighing two evils, one chose the lesser. So long as he could return, so long as he could live, Zhang Tie naturally made his decision without the slightest hesitation.
This "weakness period" would last a full three years. During it, Zhang Tie's strength would not even amount to one percent of what it
