The Empire's robe is a garment condensed by Lin Qian using soul energy, extremely powerful in its defensive capabilities.
Therefore, most of the power from the recent thunder strike was absorbed by that Empire's robe.
However, to withstand the incessant thunder strikes, Lin Qian had to evolve the Empire's robe, transforming it into a barrier that could cover his entire body, in order to remain unharmed.
Every thunder strike consumed a significant amount of Lin Qian's soul energy.
The relentless thunder baptism forced Lin Qian to continuously condense soul energy and infuse it to maintain defense.
By the time Liu Maoyu's Thunder Sea Roar ended, Lin Qian's soul energy was nearly depleted.
Lin Qian's dantian was expansive, accommodating a vast amount of soul energy, and with the infusion of spiritual energy from Xuanhuan Star, soul energy consumption was never something he worried too much about.
