Lex was hurt. He was genuinely hurt because at this point, he and Daekol were trading blows without holding back, and neither had the ability to dodge. They could only defend. Daekol kept taking on tremendous debt from his system to heal himself, while Lex relied on his excessive healing capability to keep recovering from the damage he suffered.
Even now, both of them were managing to keep pace with each other, despite doing so through incredibly different ways.
Daekol couldn't make sense of it. He was a system user, a peak Celestial, a Sovereign, a Lord in Arch-Heaven and a champion of the Path of Chaos. His identity was so unique, there may never be another who could match him. It seemed impossible for anyone else to match him in his own cultivation realm, so then how could Lex do as much while he still technically wasn't even a Celestial Immortal yet?
