The Flying Boat in the air was unaffected by the Heaven-shattering Earth-collapse Array. From the Void Five Weapons Array, Spirit Soldiers formed from pure Spiritual Qi—Long Spears, Flying Forks, Fish Nets, Treasure Swords, and Golden Bricks—rose one after another, soaring toward the enemy vessel.
Once the Heaven-shattering Earth-collapse Array was revealed, the other Demon Sect Flying Boats had already moved to shield that particular vessel at the heart of their formation. Though the whistling Spirit Soldiers were immensely powerful, they were all intercepted by colossal Demon Claws conjured by the Demon Sect's fleet.
