Shen Luo's heart trembled. He had no time to pursue Ape Ancestor and Misu, so he summoned the Blood Soul Origin Banner, transforming it into a thick blood-red barrier around himself.
The thirty-two Pure Yang Swords also flew around him, setting up another layer of defense behind the blood-red barrier.
Just as he finished doing this, fragments of space came whistling toward him and struck the blood-red barrier.
Riiip!
A sound like tearing silk rang out. The blood-red barrier shook violently. Some of the smaller space fragments were blocked, but more than a dozen large fragments tore through the Blood Soul Origin Banner's protective barrier.
Shen Luo was startled and hastily activated the thirty-two Pure Yang Swords around him. Streaks of crimson sword qi slashed toward the space fragments, each containing the Flame Explosion Law.
Boom, boom, boom! A series of deafening explosions erupted, shaking the nearby void once more. All the space fragments were either shattered or blasted away, but the red glow on more than a dozen of the Pure Yang Swords around him had mostly dispersed. They keened mournfully, clearly having suffered considerable damage to their spirituality.
Shen Luo's expression changed slightly. These Pure Yang Swords had all been reinforced with Vermilion Bird Stones and were incomparably hard, yet even they could not withstand a single strike from the space fragments.
"Kid Shen, the spatial power here is extremely dense, and it seems to contain other forces as well. The destructive power after it shatters is greater than ordinary spatial collapse. Don't be careless. Use the Mountains, Rivers, State and Society Diagram for defense!" Fire Spirit Child's voice rang out.
Shen Luo had indeed been somewhat overconfident. He recalled the thirty-two Pure Yang Swords and stored them in his Dantian to nurture them, then swept his sleeve.
