Chapter 890: Chapter 890: Collapse and Disintegration
There are three types of Innate Divine Skills: the Unparalleled Quality Innate Divine Skill, the Secret God Quality Innate Supreme Divine Skill, and the Unique Innate Qi Divine Skill.
The Unparalleled Quality Innate Divine Skill is purely a body cultivation technique, purifying the postnatal body developed in the muddy world, refining it to an innate pure form.
In other words, those who practice the Innate Divine Skill can undergo a transformation, refining their Primordial Energy, with their bodies becoming stronger and their Primordial Energy purer, making it an extremely powerful Secret Technique.
Upon reaching the Ninth Awakening, the body and Primordial Energy are strengthened nine times over, becoming incomparable to ordinary Cultivators.
Therefore, even though the Ji Family has other Secret God Techniques, most members of the Ji Family still choose to cultivate the Unparalleled Quality Innate Divine Skill.
A few other members of the Ji Family practice the Innate Supreme Divine Skill, which is a step beyond the Innate Divine Skill.
Not only does it have the effect of refining body righteousness, but it also has no upper limit; if you have enough talent, resources, and insight, the Innate Supreme Divine Skill can grow indefinitely, making it incredibly formidable, even among Secret God Techniques.
Besides these two, there is the Unique Innate Qi Divine Skill that only Ji Changsheng has cultivated, as this Secret Technique is one-of-a-kind, with only this one known version in existence.
The Innate Qi Divine Skill also refines bodily righteousness, but the "qi" it refers to is not that of Primordial Energy but rather the breathing of the clear and turbid air of heaven and earth.
A person lives by their qi, the world thrives by its qi; without it, all things wither. This breath is destiny and the life of all things.
Only by knowing destiny can one understand all things. Ji Changsheng created the Innate Yao Power through this unique insight, unparalleled within the Ji Family.
Now, Ji Liuying has unexpectedly wielded Innate Yao Power, to the astonishment and delight of the Ji Family.
The joy is that another person with the potential to become a figure like Ji Changsheng has emerged in the Ji Family. The fear, however, is that Ji Liuying does not belong to their faction; if she truly rises to power and becomes the head of the Ji Family, how will they live under her rule?
They also didn’t want to risk their lives to save Ji Liuying earlier. If this reaches Ji Liuying’s ears, how will she regard them and treat them in the future?
Everyone’s thoughts are varied, but in the sky above, Ji Liuying is exerting all her strength to shake the Secret Treasure, integrating all the Secret Techniques and Innate Eight Techniques she has comprehended into it.
"Innate Yao Power!" Ji Fenglie also recognized the source of Ji Liuying’s power, his expression changing.
He was locked in the dungeon for so many years, never once relenting, always analyzing the reasons for his failure, pondering how to overcome his shortcomings.
Now emerging once more, although lacking the assistance he once had, his power surpasses its previous levels, and he regards the Ji Family’s old guard with disdain.
However, he remains immensely wary only of Ji Changsheng.
He never expected that after Ji Changsheng’s departure, someone in the Ji Family would possess a power akin to his.
"Even if you have Ji Changsheng’s power, you are not Ji Changsheng; what can you possibly do against me?" Ji Fenglie sneered, aiming the mouth of the Boundless Calamity Bell at Ji Liuying, and with a mighty slap, he struck it.
The bell’s mouth erupted with a torrent of golden tribulation lightning shooting towards Ji Liuying, the thunderous sound shaking souls and distorting them.
Seeing Ji Liuying barely holding on without falling, the lightning being continually deflected by her efforts, unable to close in, Ji Fenglie struck the golden bell again and again.
Stars and moons shook, the earth cracked, city walls split open, and skyscrapers toppled.
Chen Guan watched as Ji Fenglie unleashed various bizarre powers, observing Ji Liuying struggle with the turtle shell in her hand, slowing to what seemed its limit, likely nearing defeat.
Chen Guan did not intervene and continued to observe, knowing that Ji Liuying’s breakthrough, if it were to happen, would be here and now.
Ji Jiuying had a splitting headache but managed to persevere, keeping her eyes on the sky, where the surging lightning seemed to be engulfing Ji Liuying, knowing she was in a life-and-death struggle against Ji Fenglie.
"The survival of the Ji Family hinges on this moment, everyone join me in slaying Ji Fenglie..." Ji Jiuying’s body radiated light, a halo illuminating the heavens, with the form of an Innate God enveloping him.
Reverse-sky combat led Ji Jiuying to charge into the sky, but turning back, only a few responded, mostly those strong Ji Family members who usually followed him, erupting with divine might and charging alongside him towards Ji Fenglie.
The other factions remained unresponsive, and when Ji Jiuying’s gaze swept over, several elder statesmen of other factions cried out, "Grand Elder, worry not, we swear to defend the Ji Family and protect all its members."
Ji Jiuying’s anger had reached its peak, but at this point, there was no turning back, so he continued to make a desperate assault on Ji Fenglie.
Those following Ji Jiuying unleashed their Secret Laws, Secret Treasures blossomed with divine power, and terrifying beasts were released one after another.
Ji Fenglie saw this and did not panic but laughed heartily, "Ji Jiuying, now you face the same fate. They stabbed me in the back yesterday; today, they stab you. Indeed, what goes around comes around."
While speaking, Ji Fenglie swung another palm towards Ji Jiuying and others, its Palm Power transforming into a Godly Figure descending from the skies.
The potent forces unleashed by various Secret Laws, Secret Techniques, Secret Skills, and Secret Treasures, originally targeting Ji Fenglie, uncontrollably altered their course, striking at the Godly Figure.
The Godly Figure conjured by Ji Fenglie seemed like a magnet attracting all energy towards it.
Though unable to dissipate this energy and destroyed by its terrifying force, Ji Fenglie remained unscathed, merely sacrificing the power of that one palm.
Members of the Ji Family attacked repeatedly, but nothing changed. No matter what, Ji Fenglie’s casual release of a Godly Figure always redirected all their power towards it, beyond their control.
"What Secret Skill is this? Quite intriguing." Chen Guan observed, greatly astonished.
Ji Fenglie’s Palm Power could twist others’ energies, redirecting all attacks at the Godly Figure it created, even warping Secret Laws, truly astonishing.
After a while, Chen Guan discerned that Ji Fenglie’s Palm Power involved more than mere Secret Skills and Techniques; there seemed to be the force of his Secret Laws.
Yet even so, it was remarkable.
Under Ji Jiuying’s leadership, the Ji Family’s strong and furious assault stirred heaven and earth, possessing the power to destroy worlds, and among them were supernaturally powerful individuals capable of moving mountains.
However, with no attacks reaching Ji Fenglie, they proved futile.
Supported by the Secret Realm’s halo, they erupted endlessly, unable to wait nor dare engage in a war of attrition with Ji Fenglie, for the lightning was nearing complete envelopment of Ji Liuying.
"Will you not act? Liuying has mastered Innate Yao Power; she is key to whether the Ji Family can stand among the Ten Great Families in the future. If she dies, the Ji Family’s hope of revival will be dashed. Will you truly stand idly by and watch that day arrive..." Ji Jiuying roared in fury, yet none responded to his challenge.
