Flames danced, lightning cut through the air, powerful winds rose, and sharp blades shot toward the colossal bird.
However, each attack seemed to be nullified before it could reach the creature.
The flames disappeared amid the suffocating heat.
The energy blades froze in midair and disintegrated into particles.
The lightning dissipated into useless sparks before it even touched the monster's flaming blue feathers.
"It's as if you're surrounded by a barrier of absolute power!" shouted a young man from the Formation Realm, his hands shaking in frustration as he watched his technique crumble.
"This is no ordinary barrier," commented one of the Heavenly Ice Realm cultivators, who seemed calmer than the others. "This thing is using its icy heat to destabilize our abilities before they even reach it."
Despite their failed attempts, none of the young men backed down. They knew that hesitation meant certain death.
