Water Chapter, also known as the Phantom Demon Shield...
Strictly speaking, the separated Seven Artifacts could only be considered quasi-divine artifacts. Yet in certain respects, even divine artifacts might not measure up to them.
Compared with the five recognized "Seven Artifacts" (the Shadow Cloak had yet to succeed), the Phantom Demon Shield had a single function: defense. Unlike the protection of the Fury King Armor, it was a true ultimate shield, resisting and weakening every form of attack, including those against the soul.
Moreover, it had a chance of reflecting an opponent's attack and ** the opponent's attack power into its own stamina. The stronger the incoming attack, the lower the chance of such reflection or **, but the greater its own defensive power became.
Chen Rui's ability to take the Holy Spirit Soul-Requiem head-on was not solely due to the Phantom Demon Shield. The crucial factor was the strength of his own soul. After obtaining Helen's Siren's Heart, his soul had become more than twice as powerful as before.
The Siren's Heart was special because it amplified the soul. The stronger one's foundation and the deeper one's fusion with the Siren's Heart, the more pronounced the effect. In this regard, Chen Rui truly had to thank the little mermaid princess. Otherwise, back in the Crimson Twin Fang Sea, he would already have been reduced to ashes.
