What Was This So-Called Divine Artifact?

Lin Xia seven companions, along with the enormous blue triangular structure, seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving no trace whatsoever, not even a trace of their Soul Power!

"This... this is it?"

Dugu Yan reached out in surprise and carefully touched the blue wall.

The sensation transmitted through the fingertips was not a hard physical entity, but an extremely dense and elastic energy barrier, cool as water, yet containing an unshakeable sense of power.

Lin Xia stood in the center of the crowd, her voice echoing clearly in the blue space.

"This is its first and greatest use—'Vast Sea Protective Shroud '!"

His voice carried the confidence of someone in control.

"Once this shield is formed, it's like an absolutely safe fortress, perfectly protecting us within it. It's not only invisible, but it also leaves no trace of the slightest physical object!"

"More importantly, it can completely isolate our aura; whether it's fluctuations in Soul Power or life force, it's all perfectly concealed."

"With it, no matter how dangerous or desperate the situation, releasing it will provide us with the most solid shelter!"

Lin Xia raised her left hand and gently gestured towards the void.

The enormous blue triangle seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, and the blue light suddenly contracted and collapsed!

The enormous size Minimize rapidly in the blink of an eye, transforming into a stream of light that fell back into Lin Xia's outstretched left palm, reverting to the small, exquisite triangular pyramid shimmering with blue light.

The courtyard was restored to its original state, and the figures of the seven people reappeared, as if they had never disappeared.

"Wow... such impressive stealth and defensive capabilities!"

Xie Yue's eyes gleamed. As the leader of the Golden Generation, he immediately realized the immense strategic value of this skill.

Qian Renxue nodded slightly, her golden eyes gleaming with wonder. The first ability of this divine artifact was already so extraordinary.

Lin Xia didn't pause. He swung his left hand again, and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud flew out of his hand. This time, the target was Xie Yue, who was standing a little further away!

"Um?"

As a top-tier agility-type Soul Master, Xie Yue possesses an extremely keen sense of danger.

Just as the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud flew towards him, a strong sense of crisis, as if he were bound by invisible chains, suddenly descended upon him!

Almost instinctively, he pushed off with his feet, his figure retreating rapidly like Gui Mei, leaving an afterimage in his wake!

However, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was even faster!

A flash of blue light!

It didn't Pursuit Xie Yue, but the instant Xie Yue started to retreat, its size suddenly expanded! But this time, it didn't become enormous, but just enough to envelop Xie Yue's entire body—a blue triangle with sides about two meters long!

The blue light fell precisely, instantly enveloping the Xie Yue!

"Well!"

Xie Yue let out a muffled groan, his body instantly stiffening! He felt as if he were bound by countless invisible ropes formed from icy seawater, unable to move an inch from his limbs to his torso, or even a single finger!

The circulation of Soul Power within the body was like being trapped in a viscous deep-sea swamp, so sluggish that it almost came to a standstill!

Even more terrifying was that his mental energy seemed to be frozen; although his mind was clear, he couldn't muster a single bit of power to break through the confinement!

He was as if he were encased in a huge piece of blue amber, with only his eyes able to move, revealing an expression of shock and disbelief.

"Elder brother!"

Hu Liena exclaimed in surprise.

The blue light receded again, Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud Minimize and flew back into Lin Xia's hand.

Xie Yue swayed, and the terrifying binding force vanished instantly. He staggered a step before regaining his balance, panting heavily, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Lin Xia.

"I can't move... I can't move at all! Even my Soul Power and mental power are locked down!"

Lin Xia nodded, the blue mark on his forehead disappeared again, and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud transformed into a stream of light that disappeared into his brow.

"This is its second skill—'Heaven Cosmic God-Fixing Shroud '!"

Lin Xia explained.

"It can Lock-On onto a target and release a suitably sized confinement space. Its binding force is extremely domineering, capable of immobilizing anyone whose mental strength is no more than three times that of me!"

"Although we can't directly harm our opponents, during this confinement period, they are like fish on a chopping board. We can deal with them calmly, or even leave the battlefield altogether. Even if we flee Norman away, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud can sense my call and return instantly."

He paused, feeling the surging ocean power within him, and continued:

"As for the other two attack skills, 'Vast Sea Raging Waves' and 'Cosmic Demon-Breaking', they are both extremely powerful attack methods. I can clearly feel the destructive power contained within them, enough to shake mountains and overturn seas!"

Lin Xia's expression turned serious.

"But their power is closely related to the total amount of Soul Power I inject. The most peculiar thing is that no matter how much Soul Power I have in my body, once I activate these two attack skills, they will be completely drained by the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud! My total amount of Soul Power directly determines the final power of the attack."

He described in detail the sensation emanating from the core of the artifact.

Vast Sea Raging Waves: This is a group destruction skill!

Once activated, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud will transform into the core of endless Nutao, drawing upon the immense power of the ocean to form a terrifying energy tsunami covering an extremely wide area.

The colossal waves, with their immense power to shatter everything, swept away all enemies within their range, as if a true marine catastrophe had descended!

Cosmic Demon-Breaking: This is a single-target ultimate skill!

The supreme Infiltrator and annihilating power of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is concentrated into a single point, transforming into an extremely refined and indestructible deep blue beam of light.

This beam of light contains extremely restrained yet terrifying power, specifically designed to break through energy defenses and solid entities. It is enough to pierce through the hardest fortresses, annihilate the most stubborn defenses, and strike the core directly, deciding the fate of the world in one blow!

"Pity."

Lin Xia shrugged and gave a wry smile. His Soul Power was already greatly depleted due to the previous backlash and the recognition of the master, and his face turned even paler.

"Either of these two attack skills requires all of my Soul Power. In my current state, I absolutely cannot demonstrate them. Sheer Force them would likely damage my very essence."

He looked around at everyone, his gaze finally settling on Qian Renxue, his tone firm.

"But without a doubt, with it, we have a real trump card on our way to Sea God Island! The Vast Sea Protective Shroud can keep us safe, the Cosmic God-Fixing Shroud can deal with powerful enemies, and the Vast Sea Raging Waves and Cosmic Demon-Breaking will be our trump cards to turn the tide in desperate situations!"

Lin Xia's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves in everyone's hearts.

Is this what they call a divine artifact?

After the demonstration, the deep blue mark on Lin Xia's forehead slowly faded. His face was still pale, but his eyes shone with an astonishing brightness, as if burning with two clusters of blue flames—the confidence brought by power and an urgent Covet for the future.

He looked up at the sky; the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the courtyard in a warm orange hue, but it couldn't dispel the sense of urgency in his heart.

It's getting late.

Lin Xia's voice carried an undeniable decisiveness.

"We'll rest for one night and set off first thing tomorrow morning!"
