Meanwhile, Under Zong Shen's command, Dozens of prisms, each forged entirely from pure crystal and sealed with Holy Light energy within, were accurately launched.
All of them were deployed near several key leyline nodes where the intense light from the Holy Light Obelisk had previously been injected.
Each prism plunged deep into the frozen earth.
Once the anchors had been placed, The Holy Light within was swiftly activated, forming beams that shot into the ground.
These beams resonated with the Holy Light energy the spires had infused deep into the leylines.
Before long, layers of purification barriers were erected once again.
They began stubbornly resisting, even pushing back against the erosion of the Ancient Gods' power!
The corrosion affecting the city foundations was visibly curbed.
The leyline contamination was temporarily isolated.
Zong Shen's defensive sector was like a reef amid a raging sea.
Even under the dual assault of contamination and gigantic monsters, it remained unshaken!
In fact, Zong Shen had now noticed the hidden "trap" beneath this trial.
It was the Wall of Despair itself.
Most Lords—even Zong Shen before this—had regarded it as an advantage in this defensive trial.

Only a few small-caliber cannons, mana beam cannons, and mana heavy crossbows had been installed above.
So even if the Wall of Despair collapsed with a thunderous crash, it would have little impact on Zong Shen.
