Relying purely on experience had indeed been foolish. The intensity of this wave of consciousness turbulence far exceeded the one Yu Ci had encountered before. That alone would have been manageable—Yu Ci could have relied on the power of the Heavenly Dragon True Intent to force it back. The problem was that as the simple consciousness under his control shattered, the Divine Intent Star Radiance he had sent in earlier lost its anchor, while the points of light representing those scenes lost their relay hub. Great swathes of them simply went dark.
That was the fruit of his painstaking positioning!
Yu Ci only had time to curse once before driving the True Dragon Form forward, ramming headlong into the consciousness turbulence. But that did nothing to save the scenes he had already positioned. In the end, he had gathered so much information through the channels and perceptions of the simple consciousness within the fragments. Once that consciousness shattered, those channels naturally became unstable. Before his eyes, the myriad points of light in the Inner Void were about to be extinguished.
Yu Ci had no time to think. Taking advantage of the temporary retreat of the opposing consciousness turbulence, he cast the Life Extension and Calamity Averting Star Spell, driving his natal starlight into the fragment.

These were memories that had not yet faded from his heart, sparing him a great deal of effort.
Yu Ci had only just breathed a sigh of relief when he discovered an oversight. The external enemy
