This was the first time Bai Zichen's Qing Emperor Longevity Sword had failed to kill its target outright, a testament to the opponent he was facing.
Still, in his weakened state, with even his Realm heavily damaged, Xiang Banshan no longer possessed the power of a Great True Monarch.

A look of resolve appeared on Xiang Banshan's face. His Nascent Soul shot out from his crown, clutching a Flying Shuttle. It was clear that not only had his physical body aged, but his Nascent Soul had also taken on the withered appearance of a tiny old man.
He hammered his chest with both fists, spewing mouthful after mouthful of bloody Lifebound True Essence onto the thirty-six Jade Talismans as if it cost him nothing.
