Chapter 1127 - 1126 The Secret of Devouring the Heavens
Lü Donglin sat briefly with Su Yang before he departed, leaving Su Yang alone by Hu Xiexie’s bedside.
Although Hu Xiexie was no longer in life-threatening danger, her injuries were still severe. Despite the remarkable effects of the elixir that Su Yang had personally concocted, it still needed some time to fully heal her.
Su Yang stayed by her side out of guilt and fear that someone might attack Hu Xiexie while she was vulnerable. Additionally, he wanted to spend more time with her.
In the dead of night, Su Yang walked to the window and gazed at the moonlight outside, his thoughts drifting back to the battle that day.
When Ge Kaiyang was about to deal a fatal blow to Hu Xiexie, Su Yang had been powerless to resist. At that critical moment, the Shadow Phantom from Devouring the Heavens directly fused with his body, causing the power within him to surge and become even stronger than before.
To outsiders, it appeared as though Su Yang had absorbed the Shadow Phantom into his body. However, Su Yang knew very well that it was not his doing; the Shadow Phantom had taken the initiative to merge with him.
Su Yang had been unaware that the Shadow Phantom could fuse with his body, nor did he know that such a fusion could unleash such immense power.
However, there was a significant downside to the fusion with the Shadow Phantom—his body could not withstand it.
He was drenched in blood at the time, his blood vessels bursting due to the power coursing through his body as he exerted himself. It seemed as if the True Qi was forcing the blood out of his body through his skin, a pain almost too unbearable to endure.
