Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 667: Chapter 667: Severe Injury

Xiao Yi sat cross-legged on the bed.

The physical injuries were more severe than he had anticipated.

He clenched his fists, the strength almost negligible, and sharp pain spread throughout his body.

His body appeared unscathed, but in reality, it was on the verge of collapse.

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and focused his perception inside his body.

When he saw the condition inside, his expression became even more grave.

The internal injuries were equally severe.

The meridians in his organs, limbs, and bones were all severely damaged.

And most crucially, the injury was from the Small World.

The once vast and sturdy barrier of the Small World was now riddled with holes, like a balloon that had been pierced numerous times.

Inside, it was a mess, all the Martial Arts Power had dissipated.

The central Qi Spring was also full of holes, much like a leaking pool.

There was only a pitiful amount of Primordial Power left inside.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brows tightly.

Without a doubt, this was the most severe injury he had ever suffered.

He had never expected that traversing that chaotic space would be so dangerous, and the cost so great.

He had used up all his resources, all the Black Sea Essence, both Heaven and Earth Supreme Treasures, and even the Heavenly Fire Seal and Martial Arts True Intent.

Unexpectedly, it was still a narrow escape from death, and he almost died there.

Even though he had made it out, he was severely injured.

”Sigh.” Xiao Yi let out a breath and didn’t dwell further, his usual optimism evident.

If the injuries were severe, so be it, as long as he wasn’t dead.

He sat cross-legged and began to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to heal himself.

The medicine Du Youyou had applied had little effect on his injuries.

At this level of injury, ordinary fourth- or fifth-grade Elixirs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were not effective.

At most, they just made the surface wounds heal a bit, making them seem less serious.

Streams of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy surged into his body.

However, aside from slightly alleviating his pain, these energies had almost no other effect.

Time slowly passed.

Several hours later, as the sky darkened, Xiao Yi stopped absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

His injuries had temporarily stabilized.

Stability here didn’t mean his injuries had improved, but rather that the severe pain from his physical wounds had been suppressed.

He could at least move freely now.

He wouldn’t experience severe pain with every movement like before.

Additionally, the meridians inside his body had repaired somewhat; the injuries to his organs had also been suppressed.

As for the physical injuries and those to the Small World, he had no way to deal with them at the moment.

The injuries in the Small World inside his body were indeed severe.

But with his refining skills, if he had enough high-grade Elixirs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, healing them wouldn’t be too difficult.

However, his stock of Elixirs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had already been exhausted in the chaotic space stream.

In the last few hours in the chaotic space, to maintain his body’s Primordial Power, he had to directly absorb the medicinal power from high-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures after exhausting his Elixirs.

Naturally, all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had also been depleted.

This was a time when having a powerful backing showed its advantages.

If he were in the Eastern Domain right now, elders like the Hall Master and Divine Martial King could easily provide him with enough high-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to treat his injuries.

But now, being in a foreign land, he had to rely on himself.

Next was the injury to his physical body.

Physical injuries were the most troublesome.

The stronger the body, the less likely it would get injured; but once injured, healing was quite troublesome.

However, he cultivated the Asura Battle Body, a Heaven-defying Technique.

As long as he had enough Demon Beast Essence Blood, transforming it into Asura Power and repairing his body would be easy.

Incidentally, his body’s original Asura Power had already been exhausted in the chaotic space stream.

Physical injury was not an immediate concern for now, he would gradually absorb Demon Beast Essence Blood to repair it later.

The most important thing now was still the injury to the Small World.

The Small World and the Qi Spring was riddled with holes and could no longer store Primordial Power, causing his Cultivation to drop significantly.

He estimated that he could, at most, exert the power of the Mysterious Profundity Ninth Layer.

Of course, his realm was still at the peak of the Earth Extreme Second Layer.

As long as he recovered from his injuries, his Cultivation would return to normal.

The same was true for his physical body, which, although on the brink of collapse, was once comparable to a powerful Earth Extreme expert.

His body’s quality and foundation far surpassed that of a normal Martial Artist.

It was not a problem for him to exert the physical strength of the Mysterious Profundity Ninth Layer.

The Central Region was always a land of strangers, the situation unclear.

Without sufficient Cultivation, Xiao Yi did not feel at ease.

However, although his injuries were severe and his strength had greatly diminished, he still possessed all his trump cards.

Those he could kill before, he could still kill now, though perhaps at a great cost.

Xiao Yi thought to himself, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Just then, the door creaked open.

Entering was Du Youyou.

But when she looked towards the bedside, she suddenly froze, her mouth agape and even showing signs of panic.

Night had fallen.

Inside the room, all was pitch black.

On the bed, the figure sitting there was like a ghost hidden in the darkness, devoid of any vitality.

The coldness bursting from his ruthless eyes was chilling to the bone.

It wasn’t that the figure emitted any powerful aura. Rather, that chilling and heart-palpitating sensation seemed to be a unique characteristic of the figure itself.

”Ah,” Du Youyou could not help but exclaim.

Outside, an elderly man’s angry shout could be heard.

”Youyou, what’s wrong? Is that boy harboring ill intentions...”

The elderly man’s shout had just fallen, and he was already on the spot.

With a flick of his finger, the oil lamp inside the room lit up; the darkness turned to light.

Inside the room, Xiao Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, staring in surprise at Du Youyou and the elderly man.

Du Youyou, too, was taken aback for a moment, her panic receding under the light.

The old man, fuming with rage, approached Xiao Yi.

”You brat, my Du Family took you in out of kindness, treated your injuries, and you still harbor inappropriate thoughts?”

Saying so, the old man made a move to grab Xiao Yi.

Du Youyou reacted, ”Grandpa Third, you’re mistaken.”

Saying so, she stopped the old man.

Du Youyou explained the situation.

Realization dawned on the old man, and he put away his anger but still glared at Xiao Yi, ”Boy, you better not harbor any other thoughts.”

”Otherwise, this old man will not spare you.”

Having said that, the old man turned and left.

Du Youyou approached Xiao Yi, her face apologetic, ”Young Master Xiao Yi, are you all right? My Grandpa Third is old, but he is still like a child, awkward in his actions.”

”But he means no harm.”

Xiao Yi nodded, saying, ”I’m fine, but it seems I might have frightened Miss Youyou.”

”A little bit,” Du Youyou nodded.

”Young Master Xiao Yi, your appearance just now was quite frightening...” Du Youyou said hesitantly, her face still showing lingering fear.

”I’m sorry,” Xiao Yi apologized.

Under the unfamiliar darkness, he was always extra wary.

It wasn’t intentional, just an instinctive response from his body.

Du Youyou’s color gradually returned, and she laughed, ”Grandpa Third didn’t think it through. With Young Master Xiao Yi in such a condition, even if you wanted to have inappropriate thoughts, you couldn’t do it.”

”I could knock you down with one punch.”

While saying this, Du Youyou raised her fist.

”Uh,” Xiao Yi gave a bitter smile.
