Besides the power of his physical body, Jaekyung mobilized various fire arts to pressure Upper Clarity Venerable. However, before Upper Clarity Venerable’s six-beaded dharma treasure, most of his fire arts were quickly neutralized.
Even those that occasionally bypassed the dharma treasure’s interference and reached Upper Clarity Venerable failed to pierce his protective spirit art, not even scorching the hem of his robe. But on the other hand, Upper Clarity Venerable also failed to inflict any effective damage on him.
Upper Clarity Venerable mobilized the waters of Western Twin Lake to bury him and drew down heavenly lightning to strike him, but in the end, he could not even tear off a single one of his scales. Fwoosh Thousands, tens of thousands of phantoms of water swords pierced through Jaekyung.
This spirit art targeted both the physical body and the spirit soul simultaneously; the attack on the body was a formality, while the true intent was the assault on the spirit soul. It was a spirit art originally devised to deal with the demon races, who possessed powerful physical bodies, but it had little effect on Jaekyung.
