Boom! Boom! Boom! The experts from the three teams simultaneously unleashed their overwhelming attacks. Each of the eight strong individuals released attacks that fell like meteors, vast and boundless. With each strike, the Sword Qi River trembled violently.
However, the Sword Qi River did not shatter. Within Qin Chen, the True Dragon Qi operated at its peak, and various source divine abilities were infused into the Sword Qi River, causing it to fluctuate violently but not break apart.
As long as they couldn't break the Sword Qi River in one go, Qin Chen could repair the consumed Sword Qi River immediately.
"Damn it!"
"How is this guy's defense so strong?"
"Even when we join forces, we can’t break through?"
The eight experts from the Prison Clan, Rakshasa Clan, Bone Clan, and Giant Rock Clan were all astonished.
"Everyone, let's launch a soul attack together. I refuse to believe we can't break him!" roared the Bone Clan's skeletal giant wolf.
They could sense that if they continued attacking, Qin Chen's Sword Qi River would eventually collapse. However, they didn't have much time and had to kill Qin Chen before he obtained the black armor piece or before other experts arrived, so they could escape with the treasure.
Buzz! Immediately, these experts roared in unison, unleashing terrifying soul fluctuations that surged from their bodies. Boom! These soul fluctuations quickly converged together, transforming into a vast ocean that swept fiercely toward Qin Chen.
"Hmph, I don’t believe this guy can withstand our combined soul attack," the skeletal giant wolf of the Bone Clan growled.
Boom! They felt this terrifying soul attack suddenly slammed against the Sword Qi River. The Sword Qi River was a physical attack, and although it could block some of the soul attacks, it only consumed about ten to twenty percent of their power. The vast majority of the soul attacks penetrated the Sword Qi River and struck Qin Chen fiercely.
"Haotian Divine Armor!"
At the critical moment, Qin Chen activated the Haotian Divine Armor. He could not allow his soul defense to be broken. While it might not kill him, if Qin Chen were frozen for even a moment, the Sword Qi River would collapse, and the opponent's attacks would take the opportunity to penetrate and strike at Qin Chen's body.
Boom! A ferocious set of armor instantly enveloped Qin Chen, it was the Haotian Divine Armor. The Sword Qi River concealed the Haotian Divine Armor, so the external experts from the Bone Clan felt only a vast aura spreading out, unaware of what had happened. The soul attacks they unleashed were instantly weakened by ninety percent as soon as they entered the Haotian Divine Armor.
Only the last ten percent of the soul attack entered Qin Chen's soul sea, where it was instantly obliterated by Qin Chen's soul power, causing him no harm whatsoever.
"Blocked it?"
The Bone Clan and others showed looks of shock.
How was this possible?
Their eight pinnacle Human Venerables' efforts failed to break Qin Chen's soul defense. Even if they couldn’t break it, as long as they could cause a momentary pause in Qin Chen's soul, leading to a momentary error in controlling the Sword Qi River, they could use physical attacks to harm Qin Chen.
But who would have thought that when their soul attacks slammed into Qin Chen, it was as if a stone sank into the sea, without a ripple.
At the moment when the eight pinnacle Human Venerables outside could do nothing to Qin Chen, Qin Chen's gaze, however, fell upon the black armor piece. He saw that the black armor piece finally floated off the ground, then directly suspended in mid-air, exuding an ancient aura.
"This is... some kind of living creature's scale?"
Qin Chen was astonished. At this moment, he was shocked to see that this black armor piece was not a shield at all but a scale.
This scale clearly came from some ancient creature. Once it appeared, a chaotic aura surged, creating vast waves in the world, but soon, the scale fell silent, turning into an extremely ordinary black armor piece.
