The power of the three maiden's faint Dao Hearts surged to its zenith! Subjected to immense strain, their Dao Hearts grew ever stronger.
Waves of soul radiance suffused the maidens' bodies, granting them the fortitude to march onward. Each shattering clash reverberated painfully in their ears, minds quaking with every step.
As they neared the center, the cracks in their protective exalted energy widened. Several meters more and small holes split open, allowing diamond shards to tear through their Dao robes and batter their bodies. Though individually minor impacts, they felt akin to stone boulders slamming into their backs.
Blood trickled from the maidens' noses as they pushed their souls to the limit. Bones cracked in places, yet they never wavered. Soon, their protective exalted energy teetered on the brink of collapse.
Once shattered, they would be utterly vulnerable to the relentless diamond tempest!
