Within the Mirage Realm, two streams of light from Controlled Artifacts circled Lu Ye. Crag Mountain Saber in hand, he slaughtered in all directions, sending one Tier Seven Insect Race creature after another crashing to the ground.
During breaks from studying the Spirit Pattern Path with Madam Yun, Lu Ye had also found a Spiritual Artifact suitable for Artifact Control from Hua Ci.
He was currently controlling two Spiritual Artifacts. Their forms were roughly similar, and their power was nearly equal.
Though his talent in the Art of Artifact Control was nowhere near as monstrous as Li Baxian's, it was certainly not poor.
