An ancient talisman emanated from the page, then rapidly enlarged, transforming into a golden tortoise that protected Shen Qian.

However, faced with the powerful destructive shockwave triggered by the Jingji Longsword, the golden tortoise shattered and dissipated after only a few seconds. At the same time, the page on the Earth Book also dimmed and quickly turned into ashes.

The book of earth continued to turn its pages, revealing a completely different talisman. This time, the talisman transformed into a strange piece of jade, which persisted for a few more seconds before shattering once more.

The Book of Earth kept turning its pages, consuming three more pages in a row, finally offsetting most of the destructive aftershocks. By this time, Chen Qian's figure had been thrown tens of thousands of meters away.

He recalled the Earth Book and looked at the book, now five pages shorter, feeling a pang of regret.

This "Book of Earth," crafted by some unknown king or noble, has a total of 108 pages. Each page contains a projection of an ancient, wondrous object from heaven and earth, possessing immense defensive power, no less than the Illusion Cloak or the Celestial Crown.

When Shen Qian obtained the Earth Book, there were still more than fifty pages left, but that was the result of tens of thousands of years of accumulated damage. Shen Qian had only had this treasure for a day, and now it had consumed nearly one-tenth of it, which was somewhat exaggerated.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that he was already determined to make a decision today, so what did the loss of these material possessions matter?

As the terrifying aftershocks from the Silent Blade completely dissipated, Shen Qian activated his "Eye of Truth" and looked in the direction where the Witch Clan kings and nobles had gathered.

He needed to confirm the effectiveness of the attack.

Although judging from the power of that shockwave, Shen Qian was confident that even a Martial King would not be able to escape unscathed, the Witch Clan was known for its mysterious methods, and it was hard to say whether they also had various unknown and powerful means of self-preservation.

As the light completely faded, the remaining auras of the witch kings and nobles were revealed one after another, accompanied by a mournful and angry roar that seemed to pierce the sky.

"Sink forward!"
