The process flowed into a rhythm.
Refine.
Place.
Strike.
Repeat.
It was a cycle repeated countless times, each iteration refining the material further, stripping away the chaotic spatial energy that surrounded it.
But the husk did not remain passive.
When they reached a deeper layer, it reacted.
The spatial energy surged violently, bursting outward in jagged shards that cut through the surrounding space. These shards were not simple fragments. Each carried enough force to injure even Transcendent beings.
This time, Lin Mu was ready.
Instead of forming a barrier through spatial techniques that would restrain them, he acted through his Dao Embryos.
Reinforce extended outward.
Not onto an object, but onto space itself.
The invisible structure of the surrounding area solidified, becoming a medium that could withstand impact. Then, through the Earthen Armament Aspect, Lin Mu formed multiple small hammers around him.
Each one was reinforced.
Each one was honed.
