Chu Xisheng crossed twenty li in just a few breaths and reached the cavern's exit.
At that moment, the giant spirit fiend beast in the Divine Stone Pit had red light gleaming in its eyes. Its face contorted with struggle as it reached for a stalk of Six-Bend Time-Mark Grass below.
Chu Xisheng narrowed his eyes and slashed forward without a second thought.
Instantly, an illusory gate opened behind him, and countless heavy crossbow bolts and short arrows thundered out in a tremendous barrage.
-This was the Gate of Li Tan.
The Gate of Li Tan could expend divine grace to temporarily borrow any weapon below the fifth grade from the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons' arsenal. It could also deploy forty Eight-Armed Bed Crossbows or a hundred Nine-Link Stars, each with the strength of twenty oxen, to fire a volley forward.
Since this was fixed divine grace, Chu Xisheng did not need to form hand seals to communicate with the divine grace mark. He could use it at will, even more conveniently than his own innate abilities.
In fact, today's battle had already exposed his shortcomings.
First, his ability to counter spell arts was still insufficient.
-If he encountered the same ambush by three earthly baleful Divine Abilities that Fang Buyuan had, his fate might be even worse.
He could address this through specialized magic artifacts, or by improving divine sorrow and Zangtian's bone.
Divine Sorrow Lawbreaking was the bane of all spellcasters, but his current divine sorrow level was still too low to counter third-rank earthly baleful Divine Abilities.
Next was Zangtian's derivative ability, Zangtian's bone. This could also improve his law-breaking power and help him defend against spells, but its current rank was also very low.
Another shortcoming was his lack of ranged offensive power.
