Chapter 725 219: 3 Divine Powers, Level 7 (4)

Shen Bai immediately knew the reason.

'This is an attack on the Divine Soul.'

The faint, ethereal, yet heart-trembling song carried a cold, bizarre aura. It could bypass external defenses and directly injure the Divine Soul.

The phantom ahead began to vibrate incessantly amidst the song, as if it too were affected and on the verge of having its Divine Soul annihilated.

'I came in here to watch this phantom show off,' Shen Bai thought. 'It definitely has a countermeasure, and it must be related to the Flawless Divine Soul Body.'

Sure enough, just as Shen Bai had this thought, a white light burst from the phantom's body.

The white light emerged, dense and layered, completely shrouding the phantom.

The previously wavering phantom gradually stabilized within the white light.

The faint, ethereal, and heart-trembling song could no longer harm the phantom in the slightest.

Then, a terrifying figure emerged from the darkness.

It was a beast-shaped anomaly. But its body was covered in human mouths, densely packed and numbering over a thousand.

Every note of the song emanated from this terrifying anomaly.

When these voices blended, the sound was chaotic and disorienting.

Even a master of the Celestial Spirit Realm would have their Divine Soul instantly annihilated upon hearing these songs.

But after the phantom activated its Flawless Divine Soul Body, these terrifying songs had no effect on it.

The phantom then extended its right hand and pointed a finger at the beast-like anomaly from across the void.

Under immense pressure, the anomaly crumbled into dust and vanished.

The surrounding, blurry scenery disappeared once again.

When Shen Bai came to his senses, he was back inside the five-story building.

The smoke before him transformed into a vast amount of information, pouring into his mind.

Shen Bai had now completely mastered the ability.

'Flawless Divine Soul, cultivated both inside and out.'

When Shen Bai opened his eyes, he felt another step closer to omnipotence.

After the Flawless Ten-layered Body evolved into the Flawless Divine Soul Body, not only did the previous Attributes double, but it also gained a new Attribute: Strong Soul.

This so-called Strong Soul was a defense for one's Divine Soul.

At Shen Bai's current realm, the enemies he faced would only grow stronger.

The attacks he would face would become increasingly formidable as well.

The original Flawless Ten-layered Body was purely for external defense.

But Shen Bai wasn't the only one with the ability to attack the Divine Soul; many of his enemies also possessed means of its destruction.

This left Shen Bai at a disadvantage when facing attacks that specifically targeted the Divine Soul.

Now, with the appearance of the Flawless Divine Soul Body, his defenses for his Divine Soul were greatly enhanced.

This patched a crucial weakness in his otherwise powerful Divine Power.

Within his body, his Qi circulated, and the head of his Spirit Soul Little Person became completely covered in gold.

Shen Bai had taken another step toward the Celestial Spirit Realm.

Shen Bai took a few deep breaths, gradually calming the excitement from his new Divine Power.

'I've taken a step toward the Celestial Spirit Realm, but now I need to keep leveling up my Ten Thousand Water Technique,' Shen Bai thought.

Although he now had three Divine Powers that had undergone three qualitative changes, several others were still at Level 5.

Shen Bai planned to raise them to Level 6 before anything else.

Well-rounded development would be crucial in any situation.

For instance, the Teleportation from his Yin Yang Storage Skill had been invaluable when intercepting Qiu Ze.

With this in mind, Shen Bai prepared to continue grinding the Skill Level for his Ten Thousand Water Technique.

Amber transformed into a ray of light and merged into his body. A triple Skill Level bonus appeared before his eyes, bringing a massive boost.

[Ten Thousand Water Technique +3 +3 +3...]

The room fell silent, leaving only the sound of Shen Bai continuously manipulating the water flow.

...

Time flowed on.

The Lingyun Dao Jianghu once again settled into a state of peace, thanks to the Observatory.

The recent capture of the mastermind behind the massacre of three counties allowed all the Jianghu Influences to breathe a collective sigh of relief.

They had been terrified of being implicated, but with the culprit's capture, they were no longer in danger.

Meanwhile, in the Observatory's dungeons, miserable screams echoed day after day.

The Observatory members stationed in the dungeon were experts in all forms of torture. Qiu Ze was indeed a tough one, but under the relentless torment, day and night, he finally broke completely.

Not long after Ding Quan arrived at the dungeon, he emerged holding a Confession Book and headed for the five-story building.

The Observatory member in the dungeon looked utterly satisfied, as if he hadn't encountered such a resilient subject in a long time. He even seemed to be looking forward to more.

As for Qiu Ze, there wasn't a single unblemished spot left on his body.

Half of his bones were shattered. He lay like a heap of mud in his cell, completely overcome with despair.

No one would sympathize with such an inhuman monster who massacred civilians. The greater their crimes, the more horrific the torture they suffered in the dungeons.

"Just you wait. I still have plenty of things I want to use on you," the Observatory member said with a laugh.

Qiu Ze, his face a mask of despair, immediately struggled to pull himself up after hearing this. "You promised! You said you'd give me a quick death if I told you everything! Why are you breaking your promise?"

"Promise?"

The Observatory member sneered. "Lord Shen gave the order. We are to torture every single inch of you, until there's nothing left to torture. Only then will you be allowed to die. Only that can be considered justice for the three counties you slaughtered."
