Tokyo's Spirit Vein was still trembling, sending what seemed like an endless stream of spiritual power surging in from all directions like blood vessels, converging beneath Kanda Myojin Shrine.

Unable to break free, Harutora shouted anxiously at Luo Zhen.
"Hurry up and stop the ritual!"
Harutora still had not given up on stopping
