The spiritual essence instantly ran dry. Yan Qing clearly felt that he had less than six portions of spiritual essence left and cried out inwardly, That was close.
To imprison the Three Great Heavens of Qi in [Tombstone], he had just consumed 244 portions of spiritual essence—an average of 81 portions per person. And that was with Yan Qing having deleted [Tombstone]'s healing effect beforehand, reducing the technique's consumption!
Fortunately, Yan Qing's foundation from his first 39 levels was solid enough. He had also changed to a rare golden class, and his Dao Foundation's initial mastery of spiritual essence was relatively high. Only then had his spiritual essence limit barely managed to support this outburst.
Watching the Three Great Heavens of Qi remain unable to break free from [Tombstone], Yan Qing's anxious heart finally settled. Holding Thousand True in his hand, he swiftly replenished his spiritual essence.
[Eye of Fire] only had an advantage in casting range; it was not truly guaranteed to hit. There were countless tokens in this world that could block one's line of sight. If this had not been a "first-meeting kill," and the opponents had been even slightly prepared, Yan Qing might not have managed to imprison them.
In his plan, catching the Three Great Heavens of Qi off guard and imprisoning them was a crucial step—one that could even determine the success or failure of this mission. Their spiritual essence consumption alone made it clear that the Three Great Heavens of Qi were probably all powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators at the peak of their fourth turn, with all their tokens prepared. If Yan Qing had run short of spiritual essence just now and given them even a moment to react, the situation would probably have been completely different.
