As soon as he finished speaking, the Sky-Splitting Sparrow flapped its wings. Its figure streaked through the void in an afterimage, somehow circling to the other side of the spirit boat. With another sweep of its wings, over a dozen feathers shot toward them with piercing shrieks.
Lin Yi reacted swiftly. With a slight turn of his wrist, the hundred-zhang giant shield rotated as if alive, firmly blocking the other side.
"What? You refined it yourself?"
Su Xiaoxiao was even more astonished, her voice rising several notes.
She clearly remembered that Lin Yi had previously asked her to purchase top-tier Artifact Refining Inheritance from Elder Jia. Only a few months had passed since then.
One had to know how difficult it was to refine an Emperor Artifact. Even ordinary talented Emperor Cultivators who possessed the inheritance might spend hundreds or even thousands of years without necessarily succeeding in refining one.
Yet Lin Yi had used only a few short months. Not only had he refined an Emperor Artifact, but the artifact he had refined could also easily withstand the Sky-Splitting Sparrow's attacks.
