Zheng Zetian opened his eyes; his left eye was blood red while the right one saw nothing, and he could feel nothing below the neck.
He quickly sensed his body's condition with a faint breath of Dao and discovered that his hands, feet, and half of his face had been blown off. His body was thrown by an explosive wave to an unknown distance, his spine shattered into three segments. However, it seemed like he subconsciously wrapped himself with the Celestial Azure Mist Robe, somewhat mitigating the damage, and he wasn't instantly torn apart. Of course, the artifact itself couldn't completely resist the damage either, its defensive magic was broken, and the silk threads melted into his flesh and blood.
He actually didn't die... Was it the Taishan Sutra activating? No, that kind of 'instant kill' just now—it would have been too fast for the Taishan Sutra to take effect with his current realm and skill... Ah, right, the blood pact with Earth Mole must have shared some of the damage.
