Chapter 1428: Who Doesn’t Have A Divine Ability

The elders, who had been resolute just moments ago, were now frozen in place, their faces blank with disbelief, as if they couldn’t believe their ears.

Is that it?

In the face of such terrifying power, how could anyone speak so dismissively?

Brother!

That’s the bloodline divine ability of the demon race!

Even among divine abilities, the power the demon race was displaying now far surpassed what they had shown before. The aura they exuded was profound and horrifying, far beyond what any ordinary inherited divine ability could achieve.

Just from feeling the residual waves of their power, Lei Qianjue was on the verge of despair!

He knew all too well how terrifying the demon race’s divine abilities were.

To face them head-on...

Unless...

Unless one had heaven-defying talent, capable of breaking through the initial bottleneck of the Law and stepping into the realm of Law Completion, only then might one have a chance to comprehend a divine ability and forge their own path!

Even so, whether the divine ability one comprehended could match the bloodline divine ability of the demon race would depend on one’s talent and insight. The outcome was far from certain!

But...

The realm of Law Completion in the Desolate Era was a mythical state, something only spoken of in legends from the earliest days of the Immortal Path. Even someone as prodigious as Jiang Yuan, who had slept through several epochs, had yet to catch even a glimpse of such an opportunity.

Only by stepping into the legendary realm of Law Completion in the Desolate Era could one hope to comprehend a divine ability on their own. And even that was merely the basic requirement to face the nine great demons before them.

It was no exaggeration to say that the bloodline divine abilities of the demon race were the strongest in the current era.

Even if one didn’t want to admit it, that was the reality.

At this moment.

Lu Qingshan actually spoke dismissively, as if he were looking at some common trash, his tone disinterested, as though he couldn’t be bothered.

Even though it was known that Shadow Island had extraordinary depth and that Master Lu held a high status, wasn’t this exaggerated tone a bit too much?

Was Master Lu so frightened by the demon race’s might that he was spouting nonsense?

Or was he deliberately speaking dismissively to boost morale?

Lei Qianjue’s expression was complex, his eyes filled with doubt.

He had thought that the great figures of Shadow Island were unfathomable, and that even in the face of the demon race’s overwhelming power, there might still be a sliver of hope. That was why he had been willing to fight to the death.

But now, hearing such outrageous words, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of despair.

Had even the last glimmer of hope been extinguished?

Thinking this.

Lei Qianjue’s expression grew even more sorrowful, his eyes filled with unwillingness!

At that moment.

Another voice chimed in, its tone even more casual.

“Isn’t that right?”

“It’s just a divine ability, why are they making such a big deal out of it? Their divine ability seems pretty mediocre to me. These demons really haven’t seen much of the world, have they?”

*Just a divine ability?* *Mediocre?* *Haven’t seen much of the world?*

These few words made Lei Qianjue’s blood boil, and the other ancient elders’ eyes widened in shock.

If not for their strong Dao hearts, they might have exploded in anger on the spot!

Master Lu was, after all, an elder of Shadow Island. Even if his words were strange, they must have some deeper meaning that ordinary people couldn’t grasp.

But this tone and choice of words were just too outrageous.

Even more so than Master Lu’s!

The casual phrasing, without even a hint of respect, made it sound as if they were talking about livestock that could be slaughtered at will!

Who was this person, acting so arrogantly and cluelessly?

The group of elders looked up in the direction of the voice, only to be stunned once more.

The speaker was none other than Wu Yonghong!

Why was this elder of Shadow Island also spouting nonsense?!

The four ancient elders were suddenly frozen in place, unsure of what to think.

After staring blankly for a few moments.

Lei Qianjue grew even more confused, until he saw the calm smile on Wu Yonghong’s face. It wasn’t feigned composure, but a natural expression of boredom, as if he were watching some farce.

In that instant.

Lei Qianjue felt a spark of inspiration, his heart racing.

“Master Wu, why do you say that?”

“Could it be...”

Before he could finish his murmur.

Wu Yonghong waved his hand to stop him, then flicked a bit of earwax from his finger. As he took a step forward, a radiant aura began to emanate from his body, as if a true god had descended.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, he was standing just a few feet away from the nine great demons!

The terrifying residual power of the demon race’s divine ability, which had been overwhelming just moments ago, now couldn’t even approach him. The radiant Dao aura clashed with the dark demonic energy, neither side gaining the upper hand!

Witnessing this scene.

Lei Qianjue’s eyes lit up, and he gasped in shock!

“Hiss...”

The other elders’ eyes also widened, and they were nearly petrified on the spot. Behind them, the cultivators from Cloud Star were equally stunned. Even Jiang Yuan, who had been pale-faced moments ago, now had a glint of excitement in his eyes.

The previously overwhelming aura of the demon race suddenly dimmed.

The sudden turn of events left everyone speechless, the shocking scene rendering the entire battlefield silent!

The nine great demons’ eyes widened, momentarily stunned.

Before them.

Wu Yonghong stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.

“It’s just a divine ability, I can do that too.”

“This little trick is something anyone can do, right? Is it really worth all your boasting? Your divine ability doesn’t seem all that impressive. Hurry up and make your move, I’ve got a movie to catch later.”

His casual words left everyone in shock!

The previously solemn atmosphere, as well as the demon race’s confidence in their victory, suddenly dissipated. Only Wu Yonghong’s radiant aura illuminated the heavens and earth.

Even though they had seen divine abilities before, witnessing Wu Yonghong stand toe-to-toe with the demon race’s bloodline divine ability was truly extraordinary!

At that moment.

Everyone’s eyes trembled with awe!

The nine great demons were frozen in place, unsure whether they were too shocked to react or simply couldn’t process what was happening.

Instead, they exchanged glances and communicated through telepathy, their voices filled with disbelief.

“This! This can’t be!”

“How is his divine ability so powerful? It’s on par with ours!”

“Why do these humans always have some hidden card? I’m starting to feel like things aren’t going as planned!”

Seeing the sudden change, the high priest in the sky frowned. Though he still remembered to flatter the Demon Lord, his tone became urgent.

“Leaders, do not panic!”

“This is just a minor setback. Everything is still within the Demon Lord’s expectations. The overall situation remains under our control. As long as you all attack together, this human won’t be able to withstand it!”

His words snapped the demons out of their stupor.

The nine great demons exchanged glances, their eyes filled with killing intent!

“That’s right! No matter how strong he is, he can’t fight all of us at once!”

“For a human to possess such talent is unheard of, but he’s just an anomaly. Alone, he can’t possibly change the outcome of this battle!”

Even though they hadn’t yet engaged in combat, witnessing Wu Yonghong’s extraordinary divine ability made the demon leaders feel a sense of threat they had never experienced before. It made them uneasy!

Even the strongest among them, the Nether Emperor, let out a low growl from his massive body.

“Enough talk, let’s attack!”

“It’s fortunate there’s only one such anomaly among the humans, otherwise this battle would be in trouble...”

Before he could finish.

The Nether Emperor’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and his massive claws froze mid-swing!

In his line of sight.

More figures began to step forward from the human camp, walking toward Wu Yonghong.

First, Lu Qingshan chuckled, putting away his ear pick and yawning.

“Ha...”

“He’s right, these demons really haven’t seen much.”

As he spoke, a massive shadow appeared behind him, stretching thousands of feet into the dark clouds. His legs were like pillars of heaven, forcing even the nine great demons to look up!

Next.

A woman who had never drawn much attention rolled up her sleeves and walked forward, muttering to herself with a look of annoyance, like a village woman.

“Who doesn’t have a divine ability?”

“You’ve been showing off for so long, but it’s nothing special. You’re wasting my time—I’ve got weeds to pull for the master’s garden! Stop standing around and make your move, I’ve got dancing to get back to!”

The middle-aged woman looked ordinary, even a bit rustic, with a slight accent.

Yet, this seemingly ordinary human began to emit an unfathomable aura. The vegetable basket in her hand radiated ancient power, forcing the demonic energy to retreat!

The three of them stood steadily before the demons, their combined aura nearly matching that of the nine great demons!

The entire battlefield fell silent.

One after another, humans stepped forward, each displaying their own divine abilities, each capable of withstanding the pressure of the nine great demons’ divine abilities. It was unbelievable!

Could it be that their mastery of divine abilities had surpassed the bloodline divine abilities of the demon race?

Was it truly as they said—that divine abilities were nothing special?!

This was insane!

The demon leaders and the high priest were stunned, their eyes wide with shock. Even the pair of blood-red eyes in the depths of the darkness suddenly opened, flashing with surprise!

Among the human camp.

Lei Qianjue and the other ancient elders finally understood, but their minds were buzzing, their faces blank, unable to speak.

The entire battlefield seemed frozen.

Only Jiang Yuan, watching from afar, took a weak step forward, his eyes filled with longing as he stared at the battlefield and murmured in a trembling voice.

“Indeed... indeed!”

“The elders of Shadow Island have truly comprehended their own divine abilities and forged their own paths! In this battle, humanity has hope of victory!”

As his soft words spread.

Thousands of figures were jolted awake, their expressions filled with shock. The sound of gasps echoed like a plague, and the entire dark realm erupted in chaos!
