With the Half-Immortal Artifact treasure umbrella added to the mix, it had been especially adept at defense.
Under normal circumstances, as Su Shi'er's cultivation advanced further, the defensive power it could unleash would only grow stronger.
Who would have thought that, at such a critical juncture, the treasure umbrella would be destroyed?
The silver lining amid misfortune was that the bird artifact spirit within the umbrella had been preserved and had even encountered a fortuitous opportunity, advancing into the legendary Fire Essence.
Had it not been for this opportunity, Su Shi'er would likely have been heartbroken beyond measure.
Now that the Firebird Artifact Spirit had become a Fire Essence, it seemed to possess an even broader horizon and future.
Yet the destruction of the Half-Immortal Artifact treasure umbrella also meant that, for a long time to come, Su Shi'er would have no Half-Immortal Artifact-grade treasure to protect him.
The Primordial Taixuan Cultivation Method was indeed extraordinary. His attainments in the Dao of Space had advanced another step, and together with Secret Law Gui Wu, it could somewhat make up for the lack of defense caused by the destroyed Half-Immortal Artifact treasure umbrella.
But a treasure of that grade—if he did not have one, then he simply did not have one.
But now, the opportunity lay right before him.
If he took down Volcano Lord and gathered the Innate Five Swords, it would mean gaining another set—or perhaps a single—Half-Immortal Artifact-grade treasure.
In terms of grade, the Sword Formation formed by the Innate Five Swords was even more powerful than Venerable Tianyu's Half-Immortal Artifact-grade Flying Sword.
Especially for Su Shi'er, its effects would be remarkable. After all, Su Shi'er also possessed considerable attainments in the Array Dao.
Activating a Sword Formation would yield better results than wielding a single Flying Sword.
