However, we were immediately struck by a cluster's Dao-corroding techniques. The leader of this wave of Dao tribulation was an evil immortal from the Taiqing lineage, accompanied by more than a hundred disciples. Our defenses were as good as nonexistent. Whether it was the Azure Robe Umbrella or some protective astral barrier, everything was instantly corroded away!
The attacks from the ley lines came down like a torrential rain, crackling as they battered our bodies. Anyone without a treasure armor on them had surely been hit!
Of course, none of the four of us was wearing treasure armor. With our physical defenses gone, our spells were ineffective as well. We were struck by beings on the Proving Dao realm level, and the ley lines pierced into our bodies one after another, instantly extracting who knew how much energy!
I had the Champion's Belt, so naturally nothing could pierce the area covered by it. But the parts of my body outside the belt were not spared. Although I possessed the Creation within Creation and had an infinite supply of energy, that terrifying power that sucked out marrow and bones still inflicted massive damage on me in an instant!
I forcibly endured the repeated moments when my mind went blank, while the God-Slaying Sword cut through every attack. I, along with Shandao, was wrapped inside the Bloodrage Lotus that had rushed over to help us. The Bloodrage Lotus was the only useful treasure against the ley-line attacks of the Dao tribulation. After purifying them, it could feed on the Dao tribulation itself. Thus, as long as the ley lines were not too numerous, it could deal with them. But once their numbers grew, even it would be unable to cope!
So after rescuing us, the Bloodrage Lotus immediately charged toward Xia Ruize!
