His body was riddled with wounds.
His mind was on the verge of collapse.
The injuries he'd sustained were far worse than in the Red Fire Ore battle!
He could no longer even enter the Divine Ghost Heaven State.
He could only use the basic Essence Devouring Art, slowly and painstakingly digesting the Blood and Flesh Tai Sui Treasure Flesh in his stomach to produce Healing Fluid and mend his wounds.
After "setting" his body's recovery program in motion...
The thread of consciousness he'd been holding onto finally snapped, and he collapsed into a deep, restorative sleep.
He didn't wake until his body had fully recovered to its peak state—scabs had fallen away, new flesh had filled the gaps, and his shattered bones had fused back together.
Only then did his internal "alarm clock" rouse him.
He felt his stomach; it was completely empty.
A piece of Blood and Flesh Tai Sui Treasure Flesh the size of a soccer ball had been completely consumed just to heal his wounds!
