Chapter 343: The Power of the Eightfold Floating Pagoda
Hearing the opponent's words, Qing Yan Jing finally withdrew her flames. The purple flame was a spiritual power technique born from refining her own Eight Divine Veins. This purple flame had no effect on anything else but was the bane of all spiritual power. It would ignite upon contact with spiritual power, growing stronger the more spiritual power it encountered until it burned everything to ashes.
It's crucial to understand that upon reaching the Heavenly Sovereign level, individuals transform their bodies into spiritual power, creating the Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body. This transformation meant that their bodies were entirely composed of spiritual power, making the destructive power of the purple flames even more potent. Conversely, Earth Sovereigns and regular Sovereigns, whose bodies were not entirely spiritual power, wouldn't ignite but would have their internal spiritual power burned away.
"It's a spiritual power technique!"
"Who would have thought that the spiritual power technique derived from the Eight Divine Veins would be so powerful!"
At this moment, people recognized the origin of the purple flame as they saw the eight purple moons burning fiercely in front of Qing Yan Jing.
"A genius with the Eight Divine Veins was sent to marry for an alliance. The Floating Pagoda Clan has truly decayed!"
"Moreover, the Eight Divine Veins are extremely rare. As far as I know, Qing Yan Jing is the only one born with them in the Floating Pagoda Clan in nearly a thousand years!"
Hearing this, some members of top superpowers began mocking the Floating Pagoda Clan. For ordinary people, spiritual veins were most effective at the beginning of cultivation. However, for these ancient forces, the true utility of spiritual veins came after reaching the Heavenly Sovereign level. At that point, the spiritual veins could be merged into the Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body to enhance it. The stronger the spiritual veins, the more powerful the Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body and the more formidable the derived spiritual power techniques.
Some of the most powerful spiritual power techniques were comparable to the thirty-six ultimate divine abilities.
Xuan Guang's expression darkened as he glanced at Qing Yan Jing, then he turned to a gaunt elder in a gray robe, "Elder Xuan Zun, deal with Qing Yan Jing!"
"Yes!"
Xuan Zun replied, releasing his pressure, which was far greater than Qing Yan Jing's, as he was an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign. Though only at the initial stage, he was confident in defeating her.
"Boom!"
Confident as he was, Xuan Zun knew how formidable Qing Yan Jing was, so he summoned his supreme body right away. Millions of spiritual lights surged, and a massive black shadow condensed out of thin air. Black dragons seemed to coil around the giant shadow, causing a downpour to appear in the sky.
This was the Great Dark Nether Supreme Body, ranked twenty-third among the ninety-nine supreme bodies.
"Go!"
Qing Yan Jing pointed into the air, and a crystal pagoda appeared, pressing down on the supreme body. The Floating Pagoda Clan's pagodas were highly effective against supreme bodies.
"You think you're the only one with a sacred pagoda? I have one too!"
Xuan Zun snorted, releasing a black pagoda from his forehead that clashed with Qing Yan Jing's crystal pagoda. However, Qing Yan Jing remained calm. She had never intended to rely solely on one pagoda to defeat an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.
"Eightfold Floating Pagoda!"
Qing Yan Jing shouted, causing the crystal pagoda to tremble violently. Eight black lights emerged from it, transforming into eight giant, sinister statues. The statues exuded a terrifying aura, and eight dark beams shot out, piercing through space to strike the Great Dark Nether Supreme Body.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sky echoed with explosive sounds as the crowd watched in horror. The eight dark beams penetrated the Great Dark Nether Supreme Body, tearing it apart. Xuan Zun spat blood, and the destructive force threatened to consume him.
"Swish!"
Seeing this, Fu Tu Xuan intervened, sending the destructive waves into the void to prevent them from devastating the surrounding peaks. As the aftermath subsided, all the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Floating Pagoda Clan, including Fu Tu Xuan, stared at the eight statues in the sky.
"That's... the Eightfold Floating Pagoda!"
Their expressions changed drastically. They all recognized this technique as the Eightfold Floating Pagoda, one of the thirty-six ultimate divine abilities created by their ancestor.
"Damn it! Qing Yan Jing actually obtained the Eightfold Floating Pagoda!"
Xuan Guang glared at the eight statues, filled with jealousy. Each of the thirty-six ultimate divine abilities was incredibly powerful, granting even a Heavenly Sovereign invincibility against those of the same level. For a member of the Floating Pagoda Clan, the Eightfold Floating Pagoda was the best fit. If Xuan Guang had it, he could unleash attacks equivalent to those of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign.
"It seems I have to do it myself!"
Xuan Guang's eyes flashed with cold light as he addressed Qing Yan Jing, "Qing Yan Jing, you want our seats? Beat me, and I'll give you two!"
"This Xuan Guang is really shameless, challenging a late-stage Spirit Heavenly Sovereign as a peak Immortal Heavenly Sovereign!"
"Although Qing Yan Jing is a late-stage Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, with the Eightfold Floating Pagoda, she might stand a chance against a peak Immortal Heavenly Sovereign."
"That only applies to ordinary Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns. With the Floating Pagoda Clan's foundation, they have divine abilities not inferior to the Eightfold Floating Pagoda!"
"If I were Qing Yan Jing, I would refuse. She could just defeat the other elders to gain a seat."
Many spectators disapproved of Xuan Guang's actions, considering them dishonorable.
"Fine, I accept!"
To their surprise, Qing Yan Jing agreed.
"Hahaha!"
Xuan Guang laughed triumphantly.
"Qing Yan Jing is too foolish. Does she think the Eightfold Floating Pagoda will guarantee her victory against Xuan Guang?"
"She's lost her mind with victory!"
The spectators shook their heads, believing Qing Yan Jing stood no chance against the peak Immortal Heavenly Sovereign, even with the Eightfold Floating Pagoda. They didn't know that Qing Yan Jing's true strength was comparable to that of a Saint Grandmaster of Spirit Arrays, not just a late-stage Spirit Heavenly Sovereign.
