"My lord… did something happen just now?" Li Sandao asked, still dazed and trying to comprehend his surroundings.
"Didn't I already…?" He trailed off, his mind struggling to piece together the events that had led to his current state.
Just moments ago, he had been struck by a powerful emperor's casual blow, sending him into unconsciousness. He had assumed he would never awaken.
Orion chuckled lightly, "It's a long story. But just know that we are safe now!"
"Ah?" Li Sandao scratched his head, confusion still clouding his thoughts.
Noticing his bewilderment, Orion took a moment to explain the situation to him. As Li Sandao absorbed the information, a wave of shame washed over him.
"It's because my incompetence wasted the master's immortal elixir…" he lamented. "How could I have been so useless? Maybe my own value doesn't even compare to that elixir!"
"Nonsense!" Orion interjected, shaking his head with a smile. "If it weren't for you, I might not even be alive right now! A mere elixir can't replace your worth!"
Li Sandao felt a spark of hope at Orion's words, but he still couldn't shake the feeling of inadequacy.
"You need to focus on healing now and ensure you don't have any lasting injuries," Orion continued, his tone turning serious.
Without allowing for a response, Orion turned to Emperor Xu Huang. "By the way, I want to give you one of these immortal healing pills as well. You need to recover quickly; I'll need your strength for the battles ahead."
Emperor Xu Huang hesitated, thinking about his battered body. How could he accept this elixir when he felt so broken? But when he heard Orion's determination, he nodded firmly. "Don't worry, my lord! I'll make the enemy pay for this!"
With that, Emperor Xu Huang swallowed the elixir without hesitation. He understood that now was not the time for reluctance; he needed to prioritize their mission.
The moment the elixir settled in his stomach, a surge of life energy erupted within him. Minor injuries visibly healed, while more serious internal wounds began to mend rapidly. Within moments, Emperor Xu Huang's combat power returned to about 60-70%.
"Lord, I'm going to join the fight! You take care of yourself!" He declared, concern etched across his face before disappearing in an instant.
In an instant, he reappeared behind one of the black-robed men, using his mastery over space to catch them off guard. "It's time to end this battle!"
Orion's eyes lit with fierce determination. With the addition of Emperor Xu Huang's strength, he felt confident that they could turn the tide.
The momentum shifted dramatically as the two forces joined. Soon, they overwhelmed one of the black-robed men, and the tides of battle began to favor them.
As the conflict escalated, the three remaining black-robed men exchanged panicked glances. "No… we need to escape!" they shouted, fear evident in their voices.
But before they could tear apart the fabric of space to flee, Emperor Xu Huang smirked. With a simple wave of his hand, he trapped the surrounding void, rendering their escape impossible.
In the end, the remaining black-robed men could not escape their fate. Together, they were swiftly taken down.

When the last black-robed man fell, the system chimed in with its notifications.
"Wow! Over 100 million luck points!" Orion exclaimed, his excitement palpable. He felt exhilarated at the thought of so much luck—enough for twelve emperor-level lottery chances!
"System, open my personal panel!" he commanded eagerly.
