"Cough!"
Shi Yi coughed up great mouthfuls of blood. His mouth was stained scarlet, mixed with countless fragments of his internal organs. His double pupils were dull and lightless, stripped of their former intimidating brilliance.
His once full chest had caved in, and all his internal organs had suffered severe injuries.
Forcibly taking away two treasure bones formed from True Phoenix runes from amid the primordial spirits of four Dark Immortal Kings and a great crowd of True Immortals and Supremes could never come without a price.
Even Lord Bird and Lord Essence Coin, guardians of the Void God Realm, dared not enter. That alone showed how difficult it was.
For Shi Yi to succeed and return alive was already extraordinary-a miracle, even.
Even someone as powerful as the Desolate Heaven Emperor, Shi Hao, had only been able to fight these beings here at the same cultivation realm after passing the Self-Severing Realm. Even then, a bloody battle had been unavoidable.
Without his double pupils, which could see through falsehood, and without his understanding of karma and the Way of Fate, Shi Yi would probably have fallen inside the Dark Hall by now, utterly dead.
Dying here was even worse than being struck by a Demon-Exterminating Needle. The chance of survival was zero.
Fortunately, that tragedy had not occurred. Shi Yi had successfully obtained the Ten Fiends Treasure Technique and survived.
"Kid, you... really defy the heavens. I'm starting to believe you'll become a peerless powerhouse in the near future," Lord Bird murmured, his eyes wide.
Lord Essence Coin echoed his sentiment.
At that moment, no words could express the shock in their hearts.
Those were the Immortal King Primordial Spirits...
"I'm still far from that. One day, I'll crush these beings head-on," Shi Yi said between mouthfuls of blood.
