After Tianchuan inscribed that vertical stroke, he continued, "I've already failed six times. I may well fail again this time."
Tianchuan seemed utterly calm, but Luo Zheng and the Primal Celestial Venerable immediately grew anxious.
The uncanny were undying and indestructible...
If he failed, he could simply return to the Howling Path and revive.
The others, including Luo Zheng himself, would probably not fare so well.
"If I survive, your friends should survive. If I fail, you can't blame me..." As Tianchuan finished speaking, he extended the silver spear and touched its tip to the ground at Nuwa's feet.

Silver energy flowed down like mercury, trailing from the spear as he began walking around Nuwa and the others.
Once he completed the circuit, a brilliant silver ring as thick as an arm surrounded them.

By the time the uncanny finished drawing the ring, the slowly approaching Big Head Monsters were closing in. The nearest was only about ten feet away.
A howl rose
