Rumble-!!!!
Dazzling blood-gold light exploded, and shock waves swept outward like a tsunami, shearing a full three zhang off the ground of Golden Scale Island below! Rock and soil burst into the air.
The golden barrier shook violently, cracks spreading across it like a spiderweb.
The spiritual glow of Xin Bairen's armor dimmed. The flesh of both arms burst apart, exposing jagged white bone, yet amid the golden fragments flying through the sky, he laughed without restraint!

Wuxin's pupils contracted sharply. Almost instinctively, he summoned his lifebound magic treasure, the Wondrous Truth Buddha Heart Pagoda. The golden pagoda spun rapidly and expanded, shielding him.
