Under his feet, the ice block was losing control, drawn into the whirlpool's power, forcing Lu Yu to constantly retreat and create new ice blocks as footing, each block absorbed into the vortex.
Huang Yelin, the Blue Ring King, and the Deep Sea Emissary all sensed Lu Yu's presence, but their focus was on the powerful aura emerging from afar, indifferent to the nearby ant.
In their eyes, Lu Yu was just an ant; even if accidentally swept into the vortex, he'd be affected by the chaotic Spiritual Qi and Soul Power above, gravely injured or even killed instantly.

Soul Power was too advanced for a Martial Cultivator at the Spiritual Qi stage, and if injured by it, there's almost no hope of recovery, essentially marking the end of their cultivation path.
Unless there's a divine medicine, heaven-defying elixir, or another strong entity at the distracting stage willing to consume their source Soul Power to help restore their soul's injuries.
