461 Battle of Divine Powers
“Boom!”
The world shook and the ground cracked.
Golden light surged, dyeing everything in sight golden. The fluctuations were too intense.
However, Ji Yun from the Roc clan was destroyed!
He had been forcefully broken into pieces, and even the inner world had self-destructed. How unbelievable was this?
Just a second ago, the other young men from the Roc clan were still cursing Jin Yun for his scheming ways. He had hidden his strength all this time and only revealed it in front of the old man from the Roc clan at the critical moment.
Now, their breaths were stuck in their throats and their faces were red. It was as if something was stuck in their throats and they could not swallow it. They felt very uncomfortable and shocked.
The old man from the Roc clan was stunned for a moment before his heart fell to the bottom.
He had seen it with his own eyes. When Jin Yun turned into a golden arrow and hit his target, the other party did not move at all. However, such a shocking turn of events had occurred.
After calming down and analyzing it carefully, how strong was the other party’s body to be able to cause a god at the star condensation realm to self-destruct?
Even the top few geniuses of the same level, including the person with twin pupils who had previously intended to walk the path of invincibility, could not do so.
Then there was only one possibility. They had encountered a tough opponent. The other party was a god at the jade star realm, or even someone with a physical talent that was very strong among those of the same level.
Soon, the golden light gradually dissipated.
Chen Yiming’s entire body shook, as if he was shaking off something disgusting. He stood up and looked at the people from the Roc clan who had come looking for him.
“You are...?”
“You...”
“Chen Yiming!”
When the young people from the Roc clan saw the face that was burned into their memories, they were extremely frightened and fell to the ground.
They were not people who had mastered just a little supernatural power, but the gods of the Roc clan, an overlord faction at the inter-galactic level. However, they still displayed such embarrassing behavior. It was unbelievable.
The reason was that Chen Yiming had brought too much humiliation to the Roc clan. Under the watchful eyes of everyone on the Flying Cloud Planet, he had killed the genius of the Roc clan and left. In turn, the Roc clan had sent out their elders to chase after him, but to no avail.
This was simply stepping on the face of the Roc clan to become famous in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. If not for the reputation of the Roc clan, the other overlord factions of the same level would have suspected that there was something wrong within the Roc clan.
It had to be known that the Roc clan had more than one powerful elder at the star evolution realm presiding over it. They were actually unable to do anything to a god at the star condensation realm and still let him live after such a long time.
“I didn’t expect it to be you. You made it so difficult for the Roc clan to find you!”
When he saw Chen Yiming’s face, the old man’s expression turned sinister. He gritted his teeth and said, “Chen Yiming, the Roc clan has already set up an inescapable net in the south mountain range. Let’s see where you can escape to this time.”
In his panic, the old man completely ignored the fact that Chen Yiming had already suppressed the person with twin pupils a year ago. Now, he had broken through to the jade star realm.
They were both at the jade star realm, but how could he be compared to Chen Yiming? Their talents were definitely not on the same level, and he would probably be killed instead.
“Looking for me? With just the few of you?”
Seeing that the old man from the Roc clan knew the situation better than the young people beside him, Chen Yiming reminded him in a serious tone.
Since ancient times, hatred made people hot-headed. This was the situation of the old man from the Roc clan.
“Damn kid, don’t underestimate me!”
Being treated this way, the old man was furious. His white eyebrows curled up and his features became twisted.
At the same time, a blinding light illuminated the world. Under an invisible fluctuation, the golden sea surged, and the world seemed to have come alive. It seemed to want to punish this arrogant person together with the old man from the Roc Clan.
As long as one was not half-crippled, those at the jade star realm who had truly embarked on the path of cultivation would only be able to fight against a small number of geniuses at the star condensation realm alone.
As for being suppressed, even geniuses could not do it. This was due to the qualitative change brought about by the enhancement of the natural laws. The difference between the divine world and the inner world was on a completely different level.
Even if he had not mastered any divine power, he was still incomparably powerful compared to those at the star condensation realm and was difficult to defeat.
“Kill!”
As a killing intent appeared, the old man from the Roc clan spat out a huge bell. As soon as the bell appeared, the void exploded. The shadows of golden-winged rocs flew out of the surface of the bell and sealed off the world.
It was not over yet. It was as if chains were being moved around in the world. It was the sound of the natural laws being affected, and the world was being thrown into chaos. Under the gazes of countless people, the killing intent filled the air.
What kind of divine artifact was this bell? Its entire body was made of black metal, and it was cold and had a simple design. On it were carvings of rocs. Other than that, it was also stained with traces of dark red blood.
The villages in this area were alarmed. The fluctuations from the huge bell were too strong, and the moment it appeared, everyone felt a tightness in their chests.
Wherever the power spread, it made one’s hair stand on end. It was very terrifying, and they could not help but bow down to it. They prayed repeatedly in their hearts that this calamity would not affect the village.
The old man from the Roc clan scolded him loudly, “Chen Yiming, when you ambushed the genius of our clan, did you think about what would happen to you today?”
“Are you crazy? Continue pretending to be calm! This day next year will be the anniversary of your death.”
“Buzz!”
The large bell slowly spun in the air. In an instant, the shadows of the rocs turned into small suns that hung in the sky.
Such power was simply like changing the environment. The scorching sunlight shone on the ground, and the world faced a large change, creating a violent explosion.
At this moment, streams of golden light descended one after another, carrying a thick aura with them, turning into a barrier that sealed off the surroundings.
The people in the village panicked. Had the world been sealed off? They had interacted with many factions in the large city and knew what they were thinking of.
If they were angered, wouldn’t everyone be finished? Some people were already regretting it. If they had known earlier, they would have stopped their children.
It was just guidance on cultivation. So what if he had made good progress? Could he turn the tables? On the other hand, he would be embroiled in disputes at the level of the gods. It would be a disaster but not a blessing.
On the other side, Chen Yiming remained calm.
Facing the anger of a powerful god, he was like a peerless expert. It was as if he was not afraid of anything even if he had to fight the world alone.
However, the truth was that his control over his body was perfect. As long as he wanted his aura to not leak out at all, even the old man from the Roc clan would not be able to sense his true strength.
“If you don’t run immediately, you won’t stand a chance at all. You can barely be considered a suitable opponent. I can use you to test the strength of my divine power,” Chen Yiming said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man’s expression had changed when he heard the words “divine power”.
However, the enemy who had killed the Roc clan’s genius was right in front of him. It was impossible for him to retreat just because of a single sentence. Besides, who knew if he was just bluffing? Everything would only be clear after they fought.
“Rise!” Facing the small suns above his head, Chen Yiming placed one hand behind his back and extended his other arm. He clenched his fist lightly in the air.
“Rumble...”
The ground was shaking, and cracks were spreading.
Immediately after, the golden light that shone on the ground began to dissipate inch by inch.
At the same time, the world darkened. The small suns formed by the rocs were stopped by an invisible force. No matter how they struggled, it was useless and they began to extinguish.
Everyone sensed that something terrifying was about to crawl out from the ground, which would cause the barrier that sealed the world to be destroyed.
“What!”
Seeing this scene, the old man from the Roc clan was dumbfounded.
Others might not be able to understand what was going on, but he could clearly feel the divine power. The aura of controlling the power of natural laws could not be wrong.
This was because the huge bell he was controlling was actually a different type of divine power.
The divine world in the old man’s body was barely in the middle three grades. It was a sixth-grade divine world.
Although he had barely reached the threshold of cultivating a divine power, even for the divine power of the Roc clan, he had always been a little lacking in his mastery of it and could not be said to have truly cultivated it successfully.
This was a problem at the innate level. If he had a fifth-grade divine world and his clan’s divine power was very compatible with his bloodline, he might have been able to cultivate it successfully.
However, it was not that there was no other way. The huge bell in the air was the Golden Crow Sun Transformation Technique, a different cultivation technique.
At this moment, the old man from the Roc clan started to panic. He planned to retrieve the huge bell and retreat.
No one had expected Chen Yiming to achieve another breakthrough within a year. Furthermore, he had learned from the books he took away from the treasure vault owned by the city ruler and had cultivated a divine power.
“Damn it, Li Zhentian, you’re helping the enemy.”
Accompanied by furious curses, stone pillars rose from the cracks in the ground. They were ancient and dark yellow in color, and the sun, moon, and stars were carved on them. They seemed to be sucking in the entire world.
At this moment, the young people from the Roc clan only had one feeling. No matter how fast they were, they could not fly out of the domain of the stone pillars.
The stone pillars in front of them seemed to be close by, but in reality, they were far away. What the naked eye could see was only an illusion, and the actual distance was unknown.
This was a divine power. Those who did not have divine powers, would have a lot of difficulty fighting against it.
“Suppress!”
A calm voice echoed between the heavens and the earth.
The Reversal Palm truly displayed its terrifying power. Chen Yiming let the people from the Roc clan fly away, and they turned into streams of golden light that disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
However, the speed of the golden light gradually slowed down.
At the same time, the countless stone pillars began to move and surround the center. The sealing power in the world became stronger and stronger. In the end, the streams of golden light revealed their true form.
The small suns in the sky were also extinguished one after another by a stone palm that seemed like a lid on the world. In a battle against a complete divine power, the other party had undoubtedly lost.
“I’m a golden elder of the Roc clan...”
Before he could finish speaking, the Reversal Palm’s divine power shattered everything. The divine world and the bell that was a divine artifact and had endless power turned into nothingness and disappeared.
Chen Yiming retracted his gaze and summarized the outcome of the first battle.
“The Reversal Palm is only considered average among the divine powers. It’s far from comparable to that unnamed physical combat divine power. Even so, it can still crush an old man from the Roc clan who is also at the jade star realm.”
“However, it’s also related to the difference in quality between the two sides’ divine worlds. It’s just like the difference between a concrete house and a wooden house. The difference in foundation is too great. No matter how much it’s renovated, it can’t make up for it.”
He retracted his thoughts that the old man from the Roc clan was a suitable candidate to test his strength on.
There was no other reason. He was just too weak. Once he used the Reversal Palm, he could not even put up a struggle and directly turned into the most basic particles and dissipated.
On second thought, “This old man from the Roc clan is called the golden elder. It would be great if a powerful elder at the level of the star evolution realm came to visit. That way, I will definitely be able to test the limits of the Reversal Palm’s divine power.”
...
Days passed.
Peace returned to the riverside. A few days later, people from the nearby villages finally dared to come over to check on the situation.
“Where is he?”
“The wooden house is gone too!”
Looking at the empty scene in front of them, the villagers had mixed feelings.
This outcome could not be said to be a good or bad thing. Although the source of the disaster had disappeared, the huge opportunity for the younger generation had also been lost.
To be honest, the villagers were also placing their bets. The only thing they regretted was letting the children who had achieved results in their cultivation join the guards.
“If only the south mountain range wasn’t in chaos.”
Someone sighed.
If not for the fact that they felt that the situation had changed, the village would not have made preparations earlier.
Then, their children would be able to receive more guidance. Perhaps a true god would have been born in one of the villages.
In this chaotic world, the weakest gods could protect themselves and give protection to factions at the level of the villages. It was also for this reason that the two sides had maintained a tacit understanding for nearly a year.
...
On the other hand, the villagers secretly felt that it was a pity.
After Chen Yiming left the place that was his residence for nearly a year, he planned to go out and walk around. After all, he had been cultivating his divine powers for nearly a year, and he had never been in seclusion for so long before.
If the golden elder came back from the dead and saw all this, he would definitely curse. It was common for gods to go into seclusion for decades.
For most gods, there was almost no improvement in just a year, especially when it came to cultivating divine powers. They needed to slowly figure out the limits of their own divine world.
In fact, when the golden elder had no hope of continuing to break through, cultivating a divine power had become his lifelong goal. It was also the most realistic way to increase his combat strength.
The path of cultivation of gods could be said to be one difficulty after another.
The lifelong goal of those at the jade star realm with divine worlds in the lower three grades was basically to find the divine materials to upgrade the quality of their divine world and escape the risk of dying at any moment.
Among the gods in the middle three grades who were at the jade star realm, there were a few who dared to forcefully take the step to break through to the star evolution realm, but most of them would stay at the jade star realm forever.
This way, finding a divine power that was suitable for one’s cultivation and becoming one of the best among those of the same level was indeed a more realistic path of cultivation.
It was almost impossible to see a god at the jade star realm with a divine world in the top three grades. Even among the overlord factions in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, they would be nurtured as a foundation for the future of the faction.
Since they were treated as the foundation of the faction, they naturally would not be allowed to take too many additional risks. The first thing they had to be wary of was assassinations by factions of the same level.
Therefore, they were almost always cultivating in seclusion in secret places all year round under the guidance of elders at the star evolution realm. As long as it was not to the extent that a faction was about to be destroyed, they rarely appeared.
Chen Yiming didn’t know much about this. Perhaps he hadn’t paid much attention to it at all.
He walked in the wilderness and wandered among the towns of various sizes. He listened and watched what was happening around him. Through what he had seen and heard with his own eyes, he made a judgment on the situation between the Infinite Island Group and the source ore shops.
