The Ancient Star God realized to his horror that his atavistic spirit form was now out in the open and practically defenceless.
"How..." He began, but Kong Xiang did not pay him any heed, looking at the other explosion instead.
In the mass of volatile astral Qi, a particular rune resurfaced, shining intently with a bloody light. This was the rune that Kong Xiang branded on Bolin's body just now at the end of the fight.
Although it seemed like Kong Xiang used it to seal off his opponent's Star Core, in truth, it was also a double guarantee for this kind of situation, to preserve a last trace of Bolin's blood essence.
As for Bolin's True Spirit, Kong Xiang already had a safeguard set in place from the very first moment his Oracle's consciousness was dragged into the Dao Constellation Sea for the initial acknowledgement. With all these factors, Kong Xiang could easily reverse this instance of 'death'.
