Did I ruin my vehicle?

My 99 Saturn burns oil very quickly. It doesn’t leak it. Just burns it. I check it frequently and less than a week ago I checked and although the oil was dark (in need of an oil change), it looked like it was filled. Yesterday the engine started ticking loudly and I drove it home (about 10 miles) before checking the oil. It was almost empty. Barely any oil showed up on the stick. I added oil to it and started the car again. The ticking seems to have stopped completely. My question is, did I potentially ruin my engine? Did I drive it too much without oil? If the ticking has stopped, am I in the clear or could my engine already have suffered damage?
