The courtyard was surrounded by layers upon layers of guards, with barriers shrouding it as well.
But all of it was blown apart by a tremendous boom the very next moment.
The first to bear the brunt were the cultivators standing on alert. They were scattered in all directions by the eruption of the enormous airflow.
Then came another deafening boom!
Boom! The courtyard exploded in an instant.
After billowing clouds of smoke rolled away, all that could be seen was Hanyu standing there with a blank look on his face.
The Artifact Spirit had just said it would show him something good, only to run out on its own, and then...
"Why can you use fire abilities?!"
Compared with being blown up, this was what shocked Hanyu more.
What the Artifact Spirit had just used was clearly his signature technique—the Fire Ability Grand Explosion.
Wasn't this fellow an Artifact Spirit?
Why could it use it?
The Artifact Spirit smugly slipped back into the Five Elements World. It had been so focused on showing off that it had completely forgotten they were inside the city. Fortunately, it had only been demonstrating the technique and had not unleashed too much power.
Even so, the commotion it had caused was considerable. The courtyard had been blown away, after all.
Inside the Sea of Consciousness, it grinned broadly, hands on its hips, basking in its own triumph.
"It's not just fire abilities. I can use all your abilities—and I'm using your power to do it."
That meant its single spirit body possessed the abilities of five Heavenly Spirits at once.
For a spirit body to possess power that did not belong to it was utterly inconceivable.
Hanyu was dumbstruck. What the hell? It can use my power to unleash my abilities?
All this
