However, when the two collided, although the giant finger dissipated, the medicine cauldron released by the Medicine Emperor's remnant soul did not shatter.
Only the ancient patterns upon it had become somewhat more illusory.
Clearly, in that previous clash, Nihility Devouring Flame's giant finger had consumed part of the energy cauldron's power.
