Seeing the effect of her attack, even Qi Ling herself was startled, and said in a panic, "What, what should I do? I don't know how to stop this attack! Oh my god!"
Qi Ling's panic was justified, because he didn't know how to stop the attack, and therefore didn't know the extent of the damage it would cause. Moreover, the power of this attack had only just begun to be unleashed.
Just then, the Dragon Maiden suddenly appeared in front of the attack and stretched out her palm to block it.
After a heavy collision, the Dragon Maiden vanished without a trace, but at the same time, a bloodstain appeared in the palm of the Dragon Maiden's hand, from which blood was constantly flowing.
" Dragon Maiden, are you alright?" Qi Ling hurriedly asked the Dragon Maiden, "Let me help you heal."
"No need, Master. This kind of injury is incurable, but don't worry, I can heal it myself," the Dragon Maiden said. "I never expected you could injure me; it's far beyond my expectations."
Even Qi Ling herself hadn't expected that this attack would have such an effect; even the Dragon Maiden couldn't completely block it and was injured by the blow.
Even after encountering so many enemies, the Dragon Maiden still perceives her as unfathomable. Although the being present here is not her true form, it is still an existence beyond imagination.
Even Dragon Maiden like her was injured by her attack, indicating that the power of that attack was even more terrifying than Qi Ling had anticipated.
The Dragon Maiden slowly withdrew her hand and smiled at Qi Ling, saying, "Congratulations, Master! I never expected that you would comprehend such an attack so soon after gaining power. You truly live up to your reputation!"
"Ah, is that so? I knew it..." Qi Ling said, but suddenly felt his legs go weak. Only then did he realize that all the power in his body had been used up in the attack just now.
With just one strike, he had used up all his power, and this was all he had done after just gaining new power, when he didn't even know the limits of his strength.
Even Bo Saixi, who had just become Dragon God Priest, looked shaken and said, "That's right, Qi Ling, your attack just now was truly terrifying; I even felt a sense of despair."
It was precisely because Bo Saixi's strength had reached the level of Middle God that she was able to feel the immense pressure brought by this attack, and the extent of the destruction that such an attack would have caused without the Dragon Maiden.
"Master, may I ask you something?" the Dragon Maiden said, "If I hadn't been there, what would have been the consequences of this attack? Do you have any idea?"
"I don't know, but I have a vague feeling..." Qi Ling said, "Perhaps the entire Dragon God Continent will collapse because of this attack."
"Your feeling is correct, Master," the Dragon Maiden said. " The Dragon God Continent's structure isn't that robust, so your attack could very well destroy it."
"With a mere thought, one might unintentionally destroy a world. That's why, after becoming a god, one is no longer allowed to remain in various worlds," the Dragon Maiden said.
"I see. But Dragon Maiden, I have a feeling that my attack should have a name," Qi Ling said. "What was it called again...?"
" Star Shattering!" Just as Qi Ling, the Dragon Maiden suddenly said, "The name of this attack is Star Shattering! Because this attack was once mastered by the Dragon God!"
Qi Ling was startled. Although he did feel that the extreme way of compressing power was similar to his own Divine Dragon Emperor, he did not expect that this was actually a skill that once belonged to the Dragon God.
" Star Shattering?" Qi Ling muttered to herself, "The effect of the Dragon God using it must be vastly different from the effect of mine, right?"
The Dragon Maiden replied, "Of course. If it were the Dragon God himself who unleashed this attack, I would have absolutely no way to withstand it. Moreover, the destruction of the Dragon God Continent will be unstoppable by anyone except the Dragon God himself."
Qi Ling, weakened, had no choice but to temporarily return to Dragon God Island to recuperate. Bo Saixi and the Dragon Maiden also returned to Dragon God Island with him.
This time, when Qi Ling arrived at the sixth island, she did not encounter any obstacles. She didn't even need to fly to the sixth island; she could directly arrive there through the teleportation array.
With each increase in the height of Dragon God Island, the concentration of spiritual energy on the island increases significantly, making it more suitable for cultivation and accelerating the pace of cultivation.
However, when Qi Ling asked when she could begin the Seventh Trial, the Dragon Maiden replied, "No, Master, you cannot continue with the later trials for the time being."
"Because you have now obtained the Dragon Clan's Ring of Providence, the power within your body has reached a very unbalanced state. If you continue to increase your power, I'm afraid something terrible will happen."
"Ah, I see." Upon hearing the Dragon Maiden's words, Qi Ling immediately understood. It seemed that in order to maintain the balance of the two powers within her body, she indeed had no choice but to pause for a while. Otherwise, she might end up like Tang San, suffering a qi deviation due to the imbalance of powers.
"So, in order to maintain the balance of power within my body, I have to continue the Demon God Contention Battle and obtain the ninth Blood Devil Emperor's Soul Ring in order to continue with the Dragon God Trials, right?" Qi Ling asked.
"I'm sorry, that's not the case," the Dragon Maiden said. "Merely obtaining the ninth Soul Ring isn't enough, because you've already acquired a considerable amount of the Dragon God's power."
"Therefore, if you want to pass the Dragon God Trials smoothly, the first thing you need to do is complete the Demon God Contention Battle and obtain the complete Demon God's Godhood. Only then will you succeed."
"Huh? No way, Dragon Maiden, are you saying that if I can't obtain the Demon God's Godhood, then I can't even obtain the Dragon God's Godhood?" Qi Ling suddenly asked in surprise.
The Dragon Maiden nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, Master, that makes sense."
"I, I XXXX..." Qi Ling finally couldn't help but swear. He originally thought that only the Blood Devil had tricked him, but it turned out that the Dragon God was clearly in cahoots with the Blood Devil! This Dragon God with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually betrayed the revolution?
