The first projection reached Lin Yi before he had completed the draw. He activated Void Walk, the partial spatial phasing reducing the physical component to nothing and the lightning energy component to twenty percent of its output. The twenty percent hit Celestial Armor at the new Constitution-enhanced values.
He came out of Void Walk with Dragon Sovereign active and deployed Celestial Sword Qi in concentration mode at the first projection, the Abyssal grade's enhanced output at Strength 7,124 behind it.
The projection absorbed the strike. Not fully. The Abyssal attack at his current attributes reached through the projection's energy structure and produced a partial disruption, the projection's form flickering briefly before restabilizing.
He noted the flicker. Not defeated by a single full-output strike, but damaged. The projections were not invulnerable.
