Human Clan Defender

Chapter 1171: Chapter 175: Second-Layer Seal

In the gray void, a sudden curtain of darkness descended.

Every light vanished in an instant.

The sensation was as if everything was swallowed whole by darkness, leaving only desolation and barrenness.

Within the Chaos Flesh, Qing Yi was about to say something when he suddenly saw the darkness outside, and his calm, untroubled face revealed a shocked expression.

"Is this... Innate Divine Ability?"

Although he had never witnessed the Abyss of Dark, his keen perception immediately recognized it as a means belonging to the domain of Innate Divine Ability.

Qing Yi was thoroughly familiar with the Innate Divine Abilities of the Human Clan.

However.

Shen Changqing now displayed an Innate Divine Ability not belonging to the Human Clan.

In that moment.

The shock in his heart can be imagined.

Initially, it was already shocking that the opponent could borrow the origin of another race to conceal himself.

But now.

Even Innate Divine Ability could be perfectly manifested.

Moreover.

From within the darkness, Qing Yi keenly sensed that this aura was completely different from the Blood Soul Clan aura Shen Changqing was currently borrowing. In other words, the Innate Divine Ability manifested now was not the Innate Divine Ability of the borrowed origin.

As he was in shock.

Outside.

The darkness receded like a tide.

The golden vertical eye on the forehead exuded divine majesty, yet Shen Changqing’s face bore a satisfied smile.

Indeed!

The Heavenly Eye truly was the catalyst for the Zhongshan Clan’s Innate Divine Ability.

And the power of the Abyss of Dark was more than twice as strong as when he borrowed Zhongshan Chou’s origin to manifest it.

Within this, it is not merely due to changes in his own strength, but likely there is also an augmentation from the Heavenly Eye.

"With the Abyss of Dark I can manifest now, even a regular Heaven and Earth Divine King might be directly slain. As for whether it can threaten the Sun and Moon Divine King, that remains a question for now."

Even so.

Shen Changqing was quite satisfied internally.

Since the Abyss of Dark was already this powerful, there was no need to elaborate on the stronger Eyes of Time.

Furthermore.

He firmly remembered that the Eyes of Time were not the truly powerful Innate Divine Ability of the Zhongshan Clan. Above it, there was still the rumored Time Pupil.

That divine ability exists at the same level as the Eyes of Time.

Yet, if truly compared, it is much stronger than the Eyes of Time.

"If I can comprehend the Time Pupil, my strength will undoubtedly be even greater."

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

Unfortunately, he currently has no clue how to comprehend the Time Pupil.

At this moment.

Qing Yi’s complex voice emerged: "Did you just manifest an Innate Divine Ability from another race?"

"Indeed."

Shen Changqing agreed candidly.

Though it was his secret, he saw no reason to conceal it.

In truth.

Since Qing Yi now recognizes him as master, betrayal is unlikely, and letting him know some things is good, at least to ensure the allegiance of this Immortal Holy Soldier.

Shen Changqing understood well.

Qing Yi, as an Immortal Holy Soldier and formerly the Immortal Holy Soldier of the Qinglian Emperor, harbors a deep-seated pride.

Even though he now recognizes him as master, it does not equate to true allegiance.

Now is the perfect moment for him to see his advantages, to understand that following him is not necessarily worse than following the Qinglian Emperor.

Even if he is not yet equal to the Qinglian Emperor.

He wants him to see that his potential is by no means weak.

Upon receiving a definitive answer.

Qing Yi took a deep breath, and some long-sealed memories naturally awakened: "Do you know what the Innate Divine Ability of the Human Clan is, Supreme?"

He once again used honorifics.

The Innate Divine Ability of the Human Clan?

Shen Changqing’s expression was slightly stunned.

This question, if the other had not mentioned it, he might have overlooked.

That’s right.

All the clans of the Heavens Myriad Clans have Innate Divine Abilities.

Then what about the Human Clan?

Why do humans not have Innate Divine Ability?

As if seeing his confusion, Qing Yi explained: "The Innate Divine Ability of the Human Clan is the Chaos Dao Body you possess. Chaos incorporates everything since the beginning of the Heavens, so the Chaos Dao Body can encompass everything.

I never understood what ’Chaos Dao Body encompasses everything’ truly means, but now from your being, I can understand some things."

"With your ability to borrow the origins of other races, and directly use their Innate Divine Abilities, and the Chaos Dao Body encompassing everything, naturally, it can retain all the Innate Divine Abilities of those races.

Currently, since you have not yet opened Cave Heaven, you cannot comprehend the benefits of such practice.

On the day you open Cave Heaven, the advantage will be truly terrifying!"

Qing Yi finished speaking in one breath without any pause.

Upon discussing the Chaos Dao Body, some of his sealed memories surged forth like a tide.

Hence.

His words flowed smoother than ever.

Shen Changqing silently digested what the other had said.

"The advantage you mentioned, senior, is?"

"Well... I’m not sure what the specific advantage is, but the Qinglian Emperor once mentioned it, though at that time, no human could borrow the Innate Divine Abilities of other races.

So the notion was merely a legend.

Also, when the Qinglian Emperor mentioned it, it was just his own conjecture without tangible evidence."

Qing Yi gently shook his head.

Then he immediately continued.

"But since the Qinglian Emperor, with his mastery of creation, had such a conjecture, it must not be wrong. Once you open Cave Heaven, you will naturally understand the inherent advantage."
