The beast head sensed an unprecedented crisis. Clearly unwilling to be bound, it let out an earth-shaking roar.
The roar seemed capable of piercing the clouds, and the entire mine tunnel shook violently beneath its bellowing.
The rock walls cracked apart even more fiercely, and shattered stones poured down like a torrential rain.
The raging torrent of metal slammed ceaselessly against the rune cage. Every impact triggered a violent tremor, as though it would destroy the entire mine tunnel.
Yet the rune cage stood like walls of bronze and iron, utterly unmoving as it steadily pressed down upon the liquid metal torrent, trapping it firmly within.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The beast head struggled madly as the liquid metal torrent churned without end, attempting to break free of the cage.
But no matter how hard it tried, it could not shake the solid cage condensed from Rune Law.
"Submit!"
Zhao Yun gripped his spear tightly with both hands and thrust with explosive force. The spear light was like a rainbow piercing the sun, carrying boundless power as it struck directly at the mine vein's core.
The instant the spear tip pierced the beast head's core, violent spiritual power surged in like a raging flood, instantly suppressing the beast head's consciousness completely.
"Buzz!"
A deep hum rang out, as though the entire mine vein were releasing its final sigh.
With that hum, the entire mine tunnel fell silent in an instant.
The liquid metal torrent gradually calmed as well. Its dark golden radiance softened, no longer so violent and dazzling.
The consciousness born from the mine vein had been thoroughly crushed and no longer possessed the strength to resist.
Zhao Yun looked at the utterly quiet mine vein, his expression calm. "Since it refuses to submit, there is no use keeping it.
