Chapter 1209 Divine Kingdom's Aura of Protection
The shield vanished silently, as if it were made of paper.
Then came the second layer, the third layer, the fourth layer...
All defenses were rendered meaningless before that ray of light.
"How is this possible?!" Shangguan Jing's eyes widened, his voice filled with disbelief.
He's a Saint Emperor at the fourth level!
Even a powerful expert of the same level couldn't break through this shield so easily with a full-force attack!
Just as the ray of light was about to touch the four people, at this critical moment—
hum!
A golden aura erupted from all four of them simultaneously.
It is not ordinary energy, but a supreme majesty, as vast as the beginning of the universe, sacred and inviolable.
It is not simply a color, but a tapestry woven from countless ancient runes and totems of living beings, as if bearing the weight of a civilization.
The shockwave rippled out, and the entire starry sky froze instantly, utterly silent, as if time and space had submitted to this aura.
Countless powerful spectators paled in shock.
"That's... the destiny of the divine realm?!"
"It truly is the fortune of the divine kingdom! Legend has it that any official appointed by the divine kingdom receives its blessing and protection!"
"My God, this kind of thing actually exists? And it can even protect its owner on its own?"
"This is getting interesting! The destiny of the Divine Kingdom represents the very foundation of the entire Formless Divine Kingdom! If this formidable figure can break through the destiny, it's tantamount to provoking the entire Divine Kingdom!"
Deep in the universe, countless divine thoughts intertwined wildly, and everyone stared wide-eyed, afraid of missing any detail.
The four golden energies of fortune condensed in front of the four people, transforming into an ancient golden barrier.
On the barrier, the phantoms of billions of living beings appear and disappear, softly chanting ancient hymns.
Each line contains the great principles of heaven and earth, profound, majestic, and unshakable, like the manifestation of the will of the divine kingdom.
The golden light that Ye Chen emitted finally stopped the moment it touched the barrier of destiny.
The two forces were locked in a stalemate in the void.
one second.
two seconds.
three seconds.
The golden light began to slowly dissipate, eventually turning into starlight and merging into the void.
"It...it blocked it?" Shangguan Yan stared blankly at the scene before him, his mind a complete blank.
"We blocked it! We really blocked it!" Shangguan Qing's voice was filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a calamity. "It's the divine kingdom's destiny! It's the divine kingdom's destiny that protected us!"
Shangguan Jing laughed loudly, "Hahaha! I knew it! We're blessed with the divine kingdom's fortune! He can't touch us! He simply can't touch us!"
Shangguan Lian slumped in mid-air, covering her face and sobbing, her cries filled with relief at having escaped a calamity.
The golden aura emanating from the four individuals did not dissipate; it remained like a protective divine light, firmly guarding them.
The powerful figures watching from afar were also in an uproar.
"Holy crap! It really blocked it!"
"The divine kingdom's fortune is so powerful? It can even neutralize the attack of this invincible powerhouse?"
"This is troublesome. With the divine kingdom's fortune protecting them, these four guys probably won't die today!"
"That's not necessarily true. Didn't you see that powerful man's expression? He seemed... completely unconcerned?"
All eyes turned to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen still wore that calm smile on his face, as if everything that had just happened was within his expectations.
He showed no anger, no shock, and didn't even furrow his brow.
Instead, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
\"I see.\"
Ye Chen murmured to himself, "The so-called divine kingdom's fortune is essentially a fusion of the power of faith and the laws of national destiny. It establishes a connection with the recipient through the investiture ceremony and automatically activates when the recipient encounters mortal danger..."
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
Those Saint Emperor-level experts hiding in the shadows gasped in unison upon hearing this.
With just one test, he saw through the essence of the divine kingdom's destiny?
What kind of monster is this guy?!
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the four members of the Shangguan family felt their newly ignited hope flicker instantly.
"He...he's studying the destiny of the divine kingdom?" Shangguan Yan's voice was filled with terror.
"No! He couldn't possibly break through the Qi of Destiny! This is the foundation of the Divine Kingdom! Unless he can shake the entire Formless Divine Kingdom, it's absolutely impossible!"
Shangguan Qing shook his head frantically, as if trying to convince himself.
But they all knew in their hearts that this person could destroy even the Beast God Temple without hesitation.
Can the divine destiny truly stop him?
Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at the four people again, his smile widening.
"That's interesting."
He slowly raised his hand, his fingers loosely clenched, as if weighing something.
\"but……\"
His voice paused, then carried a chilling ease: "I was just checking what the divine kingdom's fortune looked like."
"I've finished reading it now."
\"So……\"
Ye Chen's hand clenched tightly.
boom! ! !
An indescribable, terrifying pressure erupted from his body!
The entire starry sky fell into a deathly silence at that moment.
That oppressive aura was not simply a matter of power.
It is a conceptual crushing, an obliteration at the level of existence.
The starry sky lost its brilliance, and the laws of the Great Dao uttered a mournful cry, overwhelmed by the burden.
All the Saint Emperor powerhouses hidden in the shadows felt their souls being gripped by an invisible hand, almost collapsing on the spot!
"puff!"
Shangguan Yan was the first to succumb, spitting out a mouthful of Holy Emperor's blood, which stained the void in front of him red.
His holy emperor body was covered with countless cracks, as if it would shatter completely at any moment.
"Ahhh!"
Shangguan Jing and Shangguan Qing also let out painful roars.
Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, their bones creaking and groaning, as if they might be crushed into dust by this oppressive force at any moment.
Shangguan Lian collapsed to the ground, her Holy Emperor power in complete disarray, unable even to maintain its own stability.
death!
An unprecedented crisis of death engulfed the four of them completely!
They finally understood that Ye Chen's attack earlier was really just a test.
Now, the real judgment is about to begin!
"No! I'll fight you to the death!"
In his utter despair, Shangguan Qing was driven to a final frenzy. He burned his Holy Emperor essence in an attempt to break free from this restraint.
However, all this is in vain.
Ye Chen simply raised his hand without any expression, and then slowly struck out with his palm towards the four people.
This palm strike was utterly unremarkable.
There was no light, no unusual phenomenon, and not even the slightest energy fluctuation.
It's like a mortal waving its palm.
However, the moment this palm strike was delivered, the entire universe seemed to be put on pause.
At this moment, everyone's thoughts came to a standstill.
