What was this?
Jiang Hai could not help narrowing his eyes.
The strike unleashed by the Fate-Reversing Blade at full power had carved a trench over a thousand meters long. Beneath the silt, a glittering expanse of golden crystals lay fully exposed before them.
"Golden crystal? There's a golden crystal vein down here?!" Xue Linglong had also recovered from the stunning flash of Jiang Hai's blade. Looking at the underground vein, she could not help exclaiming in surprise.
Golden crystal was an extremely rare metal, but its value was beyond question. The world-famous Invincible Shield soul tool was refined from golden crystal, which contained tremendously powerful energy.

It was also one of the few soul tools that even the soul masters of the Douluo Continent did not reject. A Class 5 Invincible Shield could withstand an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo's attacks for three seconds, while a Class 6 version could withstand a nine-ring Titled Douluo's attacks for three seconds. Yet even the Sun Moon Empire had no Invincible Shields of Class 7 or higher. Nowhere in the world was there golden crystal capable of sustaining one.
