Chapter 163 Nine Treasures Body Protection Divine Light!
2023-04-04 Author: Fu Hejun
Watching the ten-thousand-meter-long, large-headed whale descend from the sky, Ye Cheng knew that despite being made entirely of water, its destructive power from falling at such a height would be no less than a meteorite's.
Some of the stronger individuals, such as Titled Douluo, might be fine, but those below that rank were in for a miserable time. The terrifying shockwave from the great whale's descent, combined with the splashing water, would shred everything in the vicinity. Those people stood no chance of survival.
Tens of thousands of people!
If tens of thousands of Soul Masters died here, the impact would be unimaginable.
Of course, Ye Cheng couldn't just let tens of thousands of Soul Masters be buried here. If he did, his clone, Neptune, would likely become the sworn enemy of every Soul Master on the continent. Even his main body would be affected, sharing a portion of the hatred.
He had no intention of doing something so thankless. Since he dared to unleash such a wide-area destructive attack, he naturally had a solution.
The Flying Rainbow Sword in Ye Cheng's hand vanished, replaced almost instantly by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower!
Immediately after, he raised the glazed pagoda, which shone with nine red rays, his expression solemn. Then, he opened his mouth to recite a soul incantation…
In the shadows.
"This is bad!"
Sword Douluo's expression changed drastically as he felt the terrifying pressure descending from above. Although it wasn't aimed at him, he still felt a sense of impending doom.
"I should have let that old bonehead Bone Douluo come this time." His expression was incredibly grim. He specialized in offense, not defense. Facing the terrifying attack descending from the sky, he might survive, but Ning Fengzhi's fate was uncertain.
However, Bone Douluo, the other Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, was different. He was tough and resilient. His own defensive power was formidable, and he also possessed spatial soul skills, allowing him to better protect people.
But it was too late for regrets. All he could do now was his best to protect Ning Fengzhi.
Those protected by a Titled Douluo, or who were Titled Douluo themselves, might survive this Whale Devour and Destroy attack descending from the sky. As for everyone else, they could only resign themselves to their fate.
They stared at the sky, faces filled with despair, bodies frozen in place. It wasn't that they didn't want to escape, but that there was no time. Seeing that thing in the sky about to smash down, where could they possibly flee in such a short time?
Once such a massive object smashed down, its area of effect would undoubtedly be vast. Unless they possessed a soul skill for instantaneous long-distance teleportation, they couldn't possibly escape the attack's range, even if they fled with all their might.
Only death awaited!
Just as everyone watched in utter despair while the water-blue whale crashed down with the force of a falling mountain, a clear voice suddenly rang in their ears. It was the exceptionally familiar voice of the Lord of White Cloud City.
"—The Nine Treasures are named. The eighth is: Body Protection Divine Light!"
As this voice resounded,
The tens of thousands of Soul Masters at the scene felt a warm current surge through their bodies. Immediately after, everyone was astonished to see the phantom of a nine-colored pagoda appear in the sky!
Vast, incomparably vast.
This pagoda phantom enveloped the entire surrounding mountain range. From their perspective, the Soul Masters couldn't visually estimate its size, only that it was definitely no smaller than the giant whale.
The next moment, the pagoda phantom suddenly dispersed, transforming into streams of colored light that shot out in all directions, ultimately landing on every Soul Master present.
They suddenly discovered that after being struck by a beam of colored light, their bodies began to emit a dazzling glow. This light enveloped them completely, providing an unparalleled sense of security!
At this moment, they felt they had nothing to fear, even if the whale fell from the sky.
This inexplicable confidence, along with the quiet dissipation of their negative emotions, made all the Soul Masters present realize that this was definitely some kind of large-scale group soul skill. It could actually envelop all of them and even affect their mental state.
Putting aside the vast coverage area, the most crucial question was: how much soul power would it take to simultaneously protect so many people?
At that moment, Ning Fengzhi, also enveloped in a layer of colored light, recalled the massive phantom of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower and the soul incantation he'd just heard. He immediately understood that the current changes were all Ye Cheng's doing.
"He can simultaneously apply a soul skill buff to so many people at the scene. Is his soul power sufficient?" Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but worry about Ye Cheng. He knew that while the amplification effect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was potent, its soul power consumption was far greater than that of ordinary martial souls. That was why their sect had painstakingly researched for many years to develop a method to greatly conserve soul power, called the Split-Mind Control Method.
However, Ye Cheng didn't know this Split-Mind Control Method, yet he had to apply a buff to so many people at once. Even if he was a Limit Douluo, could the soul power in his body truly withstand such consumption?
"I should have had Rongrong teach him the Split-Mind Control Method earlier." Ning Fengzhi was somewhat worried about Ye Cheng's safety. Although this son didn't want to return to the sect, he was still his son, no matter what. He possessed the world's only Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower martial soul! One could say the future of the sect rested on Ye Cheng.
If this sole possessor of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower martial soul were to die here, Ning Fengzhi would absolutely go mad. After all, although their relationship was currently very strained, as long as Ye Cheng was alive, there might still be a chance to mend things in the future. If worse came to worst and there was truly no other way, he could even send someone to use a honey trap and discreetly borrow his seed, just to ensure the continuation of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower's bloodline.
Therefore, without a doubt, Ning Fengzhi was the one person in the world who wanted Ye Cheng to stay alive the most. There was no one else.
If Ye Cheng knew what Ning Fengzhi was thinking, he would have scoffed, *You're overthinking things. The sheer volume of soul power in my body is far beyond your imagination. Besides, when it comes to conserving soul power, I have three soul cores. Even if you mastered that Split-Mind Control Method to its highest level, you couldn't hope to compare.*
He was currently using the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower's eighth soul skill: Body Protection Divine Light. Once cast, it could be applied to individuals or groups to grant them the Body Protection Divine Light, which dispels negative statuses and defends against external invasions like toxins, viruses, curses, and anything else that could cause harm.
The defensive power of the Body Protection Divine Light depended on the caster. When cast by Ye Cheng, not even a God-level expert could dream of breaking it! Defending against a mere Whale Devour and Destroy was naturally child's play.
Moreover, this Extreme Evil Method—Whale Devour and Destroy! Its power lay primarily in large-scale destruction. Because of this, its force was inevitably dispersed, making its destructive power against individuals not particularly strong. It could only severely wound a Soul Douluo and kill Soul Saints or anyone below that rank.
A Titled Douluo defending with their full strength would, at worst, suffer only minor injuries, even if they were in poor condition. If they were in good condition, they wouldn't be injured at all. The Body Protection Divine Light Ye Cheng had released was more than enough to withstand this impact.
