Lex did not feel the shock of the boom, nor did he even hear the explosion. In fact, for him, one moment everything was fine and the next moment the entire landscape had changed, all the Dao Lords were watching either him or the giant spider in the sky. The change was so instantaneous that Lex thought he must have blacked out somehow, or that his memories had been erased.
He turned to look at the two Dao Lords who seemed to be attracting the most attention, and saw them awkwardly glaring at each other like two kids from kindergarten who were trying to kill each other through their gazes alone.
A lot had happened in the fraction of a moment that was so small that Lex, despite being as strong as he was, could not even detect it. That is why, by the time he gathered enough information to actually understand what had happened, a lot more had already happened!
