Although the World Piercing Shuttle was "stuffed full," Qu Jianlei still watched without intervening—wasn't this an artifact-refining grand formation? The Broken Blade had vanished without a trace, while the Light Orb's energy surged frantically into the black, gleaming shuttle.
About ten minutes later, the Light Orb trembled slightly several times, and its brightness began visibly declining.
Faint patterns appeared across the massive World Piercing Shuttle.
"Come back," Qu Jianlei sighed inwardly. If he did not recall the World Piercing Shuttle now, it might suffer hidden damage.

As it flew back, its size rapidly shrank, just as it had when previously used.
However, it had already turned entirely black. Its speed was so fast that, without locking onto it with divine sense, it was nearly impossible to see.
Qu Jianlei had performed Sacrificial Refining on the World Piercing Shuttle, so he was not worried about losing track of it. However, his attention was not on the black shuttle at the moment.

However, that was
