The ancient guardian phantoms wielded stone spears and swords, their bodies wreathed in churning, ocher divine power. They packed tightly around the mausoleum entrance, leaving not a single gap. Though they had no independent consciousness, they upheld the Creation God's will. Their attacks were fierce and fearless, every strike carrying the ponderous weight of ancient divine power-far beyond what ordinary Soul Masters could withstand.
"These guardians are as strong as Soul Douluos, and there are too many of them! Stay together and defend. Don't scatter!" Sword Douluo struck first. Nine Soul Rings bloomed in midair as he unleashed Seventh Soul Skill: Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin once more. Countless streams of sword energy formed a curtain of blades that blasted toward the front rank of guardians, seeking to tear open a breach.
The sword energy slammed into the guardians with deep, thunderous booms. Several phantoms in the front rank shattered instantly, but more poured out from behind them, charging forward wave after wave. Stone spears swept and stone swords cleaved, cutting off every route the group could take.
Su Qingyuan moved with nimble grace, driving her Soft-Boned Enchantress Rabbit martial soul to its limit as she darted through the guardians' formation. Her heavy, supple-boned punches struck precisely at the cores of the phantoms, each blow dismantling a guardian. But there were simply too many. Within moments, she was drenched in sweat, her soul power draining rapidly.
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile, all-attribute amplification-strength, defense, speed!" Yue Huaxi stood at the rear, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda blazing with light. Golden halos enveloped the three of them, raising their combat strength to its peak. At the same time, she kept a constant watch on their soul power consumption, ready to help sustain them at any moment.
