Brother, Have You Heard of Divine Skills?
Spirit Hall.
Pope Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu stood side by side atop the council hall.
The nine elders and Six Great Enshriners stood on either side.
The news sent back by Spirit Hall's branch halls had finally made even Qian Daoliu unable to sit still. He had no choice but to join the Papal Palace in discussing a response.
"Great Enshriner, esteemed elders."
Murder flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes as she said in a low voice, "The Judgment Elder has already poked a hole in the sky! Xue Ye is now enraged and has begun taking action. Paper cannot contain fire; our silence is meaningless."
The elders and enshriners exchanged looks, but none had any good suggestions.
The key was that Chen Changfeng had caused far too great a disturbance this time.
Not only had he wiped out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's three great elders, he had even struck down two imperial relatives in the end.
He had done something they would never have dared do in their entire lives.
They admired him, of course, but the matter was so enormous that it seemed impossible to resolve. Spirit Hall had consequently been plunged into a thoroughly passive position.
At last, everyone's gaze fell upon Qian Daoliu.
Only then did Qian Daoliu speak. "Bibi Dong, how do you intend to handle this?"
"Hand over Chen Changfeng!"
Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes, and an exceedingly cold gleam flashed through them. "Or follow the Clear Sky Sect's example from back then and expel him from Spirit Hall. Let him bear sole responsibility for this matter. It will have nothing to do with Spirit Hall!"
The moment those words fell—
All the elders frowned.
Was she planning to abandon the Judgment Elder? This did not seem like the Bibi Dong they knew.
The former Pope understood how to win over Hearts of People. Yet why was she so eager to erase the Judgment Elder's name? Chen Changfeng might act however he pleased, but no one could deny that he would shape Spirit Hall's future.
Wasn't this too hasty?!
How could the elders know that Yu Xiaogang was dead, and that Bibi Dong wanted to flay Chen Changfeng alive every waking moment?
Qian Daoliu frowned deeply after hearing Bibi Dong's decision and immediately replied, "I disagree. I watched the Judgment Elder grow up, and he has always had Spirit Hall's interests at heart. Though the Heaven Dou Empire is powerful, Spirit Hall has its own foundations. Since this matter began with the Judgment Elder, we should trust him all the more. Give him three days to handle it."
"No."
Bibi Dong's gaze turned sharp. Her powerful aura instantly condensed into a tangible pressure that burst uncontrollably from her body. "The Heaven Dou Empire is already making moves, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has submitted to the imperial family. Because of Chen Changfeng, all our arrangements have come to nothing. Even if we launch the Soul Hunting Operation now, it is already too late."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Enfeoffment Ceremony has invited powerful forces from every side."
"Are we supposed to attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan now? With their guard up, it will be difficult to find another opportunity even in the future."
"Wrong is wrong. Chen Changfeng must pay for his recklessness!"
The aggressive Bibi Dong startled everyone.
Moreover, it was the first time they had ever seen Bibi Dong lose control like this.
Qian Daoliu's expression darkened to the extreme.
The next moment.
Qian Daoliu shot to his feet, his face icy as he said, "Since we cannot reach an agreement, there is no need to continue. Without my permission, anyone who dares touch the Judgment Elder within the next three days should not blame me for showing no mercy!"
With that, Qian Daoliu flicked his sleeve and vanished from the council hall.
The elders and enshriners:
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, gritting her teeth in fury. Fine!
Three days it is!
You said it yourself, Qian Daoliu.
If he cannot solve this in three days, even you will not be able to protect him!
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
At the plaza before the gates of True Dragon Mountain, forces from all sides and independent soul masters had arrived in droves. Chen Changfeng was naturally among the crowd.
True Dragon Mountain truly lived up to its name. It was practically an entire mountain range. Chen Changfeng raised his eyes and looked out, only to find that the visible portion of True Dragon Mountain was merely the tip of the iceberg of this vast range. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's mountains extended for a hundred li in every direction.
Moreover, the main peak's entrance resembled a towering mountain whose summit had been sheared flat.
The entire plaza could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Outside the plaza, disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan maintained order. This gathering had drawn countless powerhouses from the Heaven Dou Empire. Should unrest break out, the sect would inevitably suffer a tremendous blow, so the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been extremely cautious.
Dedicated inspectors had been stationed at the entrance to the plaza. Everyone entering had to register their identity before being allowed inside. As for the nobles and dignitaries, they had a separate entrance.
Following the group of independent soul masters, Chen Changfeng entered the plaza without difficulty. After walking up a raised slope leading into the venue, the enormous, behemoth-like plaza finally unfolded completely before his eyes.
Standing at the top of the slope, Chen Changfeng gazed at the outrageously vast bluestone plaza and could not help shaking his head in admiration.
The plaza was circular, with countless seats arranged along both sides, presumably for the various factions. Opposite them were lavishly decorated guest chairs reserved for the leaders of the major powers among the empire's nobility. As for independent soul masters like them who had come to watch the spectacle, they only had standing room.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is truly impressive. No wonder it is the third greatest sect in the world."
Suddenly, a level-forty Soul Ancestor beside Chen Changfeng could not help exclaiming, "Brother, are you here to join one of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's affiliated sects too? This is a precedent that has not occurred in tens of thousands of years. Ordinary soul masters probably could not squeeze their way in even if they tried, right?"
"No, I'm just here to watch the show," Chen Changfeng replied calmly.
"Figures."
The Soul Ancestor sighed. "You look quite young. You must only be a Soul Grandmaster, right? It really would be difficult for you to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Chen Changfeng smiled. "Is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan really that appealing?"
"Of course."
"Who on Douluo Continent hasn't heard of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? It is the third greatest sect in the world!"
"You're still young, so you don't know. There are hundreds, even thousands, of forces throughout the empire, but before the Upper Three Sects, they are nothing. Do you know why the Upper Three Sects are respected by all soul masters?"
Seeing that Chen Changfeng seemed utterly ignorant, the Soul Ancestor immediately grew animated. "Little brother, have you heard of divine skills?"
Divine skills?
Chen Changfeng was slightly taken aback.
Now this is something worth talking about.
Chen Changfeng put on an attentive expression and said evenly, "I know a tiny bit about the legends."
"Heh, you've heard they're legends, have you?"
"Self-Created Soul Skills whose power surpasses that of a Titled Douluo's soul skills are called divine skills!"
"They are also the foundation of the three great sects. The Clear Sky Sect possesses the Great Sumeru Hammer divine skill, using overwhelming force to crush all techniques. When unleashed at full power, it rivals a divine skill. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Seven Treasures Glazed Body can bring about a qualitative transformation in a Titled Douluo's strength. Its power can be called invincible."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is even more formidable. They have Dragon Transformation, and their clan leader, Yu Yuanzhen, can even undergo True Dragon Transformation. I heard that, empowered by two soul bones, his Ninth Soul Skill, True Dragon's Wrath Resounding Through the Nine Heavens, possesses power comparable to Destroying Heaven and Earth."
"It is simply unmatched!"
The Soul Ancestor spoke with spittle flying, thoroughly engrossed in his tale.
Chen Changfeng listened calmly.
That's it?
I thought they were actual divine skills.
