Chu Xingchen frowned slightly, feeling the sheer pressure Xu Linglong kept exerting. Had Myriad Forms not, in a sense, also been an embodiment of Heaven's Way's authority, capable of directly resisting the might of Xu Linglong's authority, he truly might not have been able to withstand her slash.
Once his spiritual power and might left his body, or even Myriad Forms' blade, Xu Linglong could affect them with the might of her authority. The feeling this authority gave Chu Xingchen was also exceedingly strange.
As though time were flowing backward, it smoothed the energy Chu Xingchen released back into its original state.
During their clashes, all the spiritual power Chu Xingchen released was reduced to mere spiritual power, scattering in every direction with the aftershocks.
Fortunately, however, this authority could not affect Chu Xingchen himself or Myriad Forms.
It merely reverted the abilities he projected outward to their primal state. Though he did not understand the specifics, sometimes treating the symptoms was enough.
