Crack!
As Taiyi took its first step, a faint cracking sound, so soft that almost no one could hear it, rang beside Zheng Qing's ear. Without needing to investigate deliberately, he immediately sensed from the massive stream of feedback from this Legendary Giant God Soldier that the slight sound had come from the Phoenix Robe tearing.
Following that information came a series of deductions.
For example, once the Phoenix Robe tore, Taiyi's Qi Mechanism, freed from its restraints, would immediately become entangled with the Qi Mechanisms of the other two Legendaries in the Sea of Clouds World. This would be his most dangerous moment. To a Low-level Wizard, a world might seem boundless, but to Legendaries, remaining in the same world in their true forms without restraint was not quite face-to-face, but still practically within arm's reach. Both sides were at a very unsafe distance.
Furthermore, after the Phoenix Robe tore, Taiyi's aura would naturally spread upward, touching the stars, other planes, and even that mysterious River of Time and Destiny. For true Legendaries, this was a reward, allowing them to glimpse the splendor of higher dimensions. But for an "unorthodox Legendary" like Zheng Qing, such contact was difficult to judge as either fortune or disaster.
"Calm and focus. Empty your mind of stray thoughts. Walk as you normally walk."
Old Man Ruo Yu's voice echoed above the altar, filled with a convincing power. "Do not worry that you will be unable to process the Giant God Soldier's stream of feedback... Taiyi can handle the vast majority of it on its own. You only need to decide whether to keep moving forward or whether to throw a punch."
As a Legendary, Taiyi exchanged countless pieces of information with this world every moment: the colors, shapes, and distances of the world
