Just as the spiritual power was about to reach Wang Dong and the others, a streak of golden light suddenly shot out of Tian Chen's body in the stands, wrapping securely around them.
Yet to everyone else, that golden light might as well not have existed. Not a single person noticed it.
The Soul Shock Huo Yuhao unleashed surged toward them like a tide, but the instant it touched that golden light, it seemed to strike an invisible barrier and vanished without a trace.
"An attack this weak couldn't even tickle me!" The Eastern Emperor Bell within Tian Chen spoke with a hint of contempt, its voice dripping with disdain and mockery.
Having said that, the Eastern Emperor Bell gave its body a slight shake, as though merely stretching lazily.
In that instant, however, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt an invisible, tremendous force surge in from every direction, enveloping him completely.
His body seemed to be caught in the tight grip of an invisible giant hand. He could not move.
What's going on? Huo Yuhao was horrified, a flicker of terror crossing his eyes.
He struggled desperately, trying to muster every ounce of strength to break free of those invisible restraints.
"Didn't you want to attack me? Then let me teach you what true power is." A trace of icy ruthlessness crept into the Eastern Emperor Bell's voice.
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt an immense pressure descend from above, crushing his body until he could barely breathe.
"Aaaah!" Huo Yuhao let out an agonized scream. It felt as though thousands of worms were frantically biting and burrowing through his brain, every second an eternity of torment.
Cold sweat instantly covered his forehead. His body began trembling, and his hands instinctively clutched his head, as though he could stop that maddening pain.
