These were without a doubt all gifts Zhao Qian had prepared for me. I was in dire need of a massive amount of energy, and this earth-vein essence was its source. After all, the Soul-Absorbing Art needed time to cool down, and Zhao Xuanyi was far too powerful—I couldn't absorb too much of his energy in one go. That made other sources of energy especially important, particularly in such an enormous void. This earth-vein essence was practically my lifeline!
Zhao Xuanyi instantly realized that he had been played for a fool. He said coldly, "I have to admit, among all the Sons of Creation who descended into the mortal world, you're the most formidable. You have a group of companions willing to give everything for you, even risk their lives. And at a time like this, they still dare to scheme against me and defy me. But you won't be taking another step forward. I'm going to seize the innate primordial chaos aura now!"
I ignored him and rushed toward the earth-vein essence, immediately unleashing the Soul-Absorbing Art to greedily devour a burst of energy. But Zhao Xuanyi soon reached a spot not far from me and, with a single strike, instantly shattered the earth-vein essence into countless fragments!
I knew he would destroy the earth-vein essence, but there wasn't just one patch here. Several regions held remnants of earth-vein essence, floating in the air or lingering within the ruins of the interfaces!
Just as I was preparing to attack him, a sudden barrage of booming sounds rang out. Countless spike-like objects shot wildly from some interface fragments, all surging toward Zhao Xuanyi. These star-domain arcane-engineering weapons had naturally been deployed by Han Shanshan. She knew this was the final battle, so she had brought out every last trump card
