Chapter 656 637: Qiankun Daluo Holy Protection

Ji Jin'Er was the youngest princess and deeply doted upon by Ji Xuanyuan. However, thanks to the negative example set by Wang Rencai of the Wang Family, the other royal children had turned out quite well. As for her Cultivation Technique, Ji Jin'Er's was rather by-the-book.

But if they were truly concerned for Ji Jin'Er's strength, they shouldn't have sent so many people to protect her. It was clear the Princes were meant to follow a path of tempering, while a princess's strength was secondary. What mattered was maintaining the Royal Family's network of connections.

All in all, this Ji Xuanyuan was a formidable figure.

Fortunes turn like a wheel, but the Ji Family had ruled the Great Zhou for centuries. They clearly had their methods.

Ji Jin'Er and the Two-headed Extreme Wolf King were fighting with gusto. Wang Meng felt a little ashamed—or to be precise, ashamed on behalf of Wang Rencai. Ji Jin'Er was already at the Middle Tier of the Earth Wheel Realm with a remarkably solid foundation. It seemed the Emperor Dragon Transformation Cultivation Technique could strengthen the body to some extent.

Watching them fight, however, allowed Wang Meng to clarify a few things. He had made a mistake in his understanding, assuming that people here fought using their Fate Grids. In reality, everyone else used True Essence as their primary power and their Fate Grid as a supplement. Only the most outstanding individuals could use their Fate Grids with real proficiency. The Fate Grid was a power of the Heart Spirit, and this too was part of an evolutionary process.

In the Small Thousand Realm, power was almost entirely based on Elemental Power. The exceptionally talented might instinctively use their Heart Spirit to supplement it, but this was a completely primitive stage.

Upon reaching the Middle Thousand Realm, the existence of the Life Wheel elevated one's understanding of True Essence to another level. One could say they had reached the pinnacle of True Essence usage and were beginning to transition toward exploring the Heart Spirit.

This meant that some masters in the Middle Thousand Realm could already create Heart Spirit Techniques, a feat made possible by the Fate Grid.

And in the Grand Thousand World, True Essence was all but obsolete. A powerful Heart Spirit was boundless; it was the true source of power, and it touched upon the domain of the gods.

The reason Wang Meng could do as he pleased here was because the laws of the Divine Space allowed one's Fate Grid to unleash its full power, unconstrained by conventional restrictions.

Heart Spirit was a more advanced medium of power than True Essence.

'And what stage is a "God," then?'

'It must be the Great Success stage of Heart Spirit control.' In that moment, Wang Meng could sense the power of the "Gods" and the vast disparity between them, yet he felt less of the reverence he once had. They were merely stronger life forms, nothing more.

Master Wang was a stubborn, tenacious weed, and one day, he would overrun the entire Divine Realm.

The attacks from the others had still been primarily based on True Essence; he couldn't yet discern any use of their Fate Grids. That Zhang Yang had hinted at something but kept it hidden. It seemed they were all concealing their true strength.

Ji Jin'Er had a decent foundation in True Essence, but her use of her Fate Grid was clearly much weaker than the other four.

It seemed that in the Divine Space, revealing one's True Essence strength was no big deal. Everyone's trump card was their Fate Grid attacks.

Master Wang, however, was just too unconventional. He could only reveal his Fate Grid attacks; his paltry amount of True Essence was simply not worth mentioning here.

The Two-headed Extreme Wolf King was locked in a stalemate with the young girl. The sword in Ji Jin'Er's hand clearly possessed a suppressive effect, preventing the Wolf King from unleashing its full power. Its rage had built to a boiling point.

Suddenly, a cold light shot from its eyes, and an intense freezing power swept outward.

The others' faces paled slightly. 'How can a monster from the twenty-eighth floor use a Fate Grid attack?'

The bracelet on Ji Jin'Er's wrist activated at almost the exact same moment. With a flash of light, she was flung dozens of meters away.

An instantaneous Teleportation Array.

Wang Meng was surprised as well. 'What brilliant craftsmanship.'

Ji Jin'Er was startled. "You ugly monster! You scared Jin'Er, and now Jin'Er is very angry!"

The Spirit Fusion Bracelet that had just saved her life bloomed with an intense white light. Following a clear cry, a radiant True Essence Beast appeared.

Seeing this, Master Wang could only lament the disparity. There was truly no comparison.

Master Wang had exhausted his efforts just to acquire five Third-Transformation somethings, especially since, in the outside world, Godhood remained a taboo hunted by the Dao Laws.

And yet, with a single move, Ji Jin'Er had summoned a Nine-Transformation Divine Beast!

In the Middle Thousand Realm, a True Essence Beast that could reach the Nine-Transformation level was something that the Spirit Beasts and Divine Beasts of the Small Thousand Realm could never hope to compare with. Here, they were truly tyrannical existences.

A pure white steed appeared. Though it was also a horse, the one before him was nothing like the drab Old Horse. This one had a pair of shimmering, silver wings. This was a Nine-Transformation Celestial Horse!

An existence that embodied wisdom, power, and splendor all in one!

"Beauty God, beat it up!"

Master Wang broke into a cold sweat. 'What a name,' he thought. But it was no wonder Ji Jin'Er was so fearless. With a Divine Beast like this protecting her, a mere Two-headed Extreme Wolf King couldn't possibly harm her.

Beauty God, the Nine-Transformation Celestial Horse, let out a clear cry. With a shake of its wings, it stood proudly. It stomped a hoof, and an Array materialized beneath the Two-headed Extreme Wolf King. An instant later, the sky roared, and countless bolts of lightning poured down.

BOOM! RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...

After an earth-shattering bombardment that kicked up a storm of dust, Meng Ningzhi and the others, clearly experienced in this, had long since moved far away. Only Master Wang was left covered in a layer of grime.

When the lightning storm ended, the Two-headed Extreme Wolf King... had been blasted to smithereens.

In the Middle Thousand Realm, owning a Divine Beast... one could only say it was a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

The Tenth Princess, however, was happily hugging the Nine-Transformation Celestial Horse's neck. The celestial steed and the beautiful maiden were a perfect match.

"My Beauty God is the best!"

The Divine Beast was also incredibly protective of Ji Jin'Er. This was a True Essence Beast with an extremely high degree of compatibility. At the level of a Nine-Transformation Divine Beast, their intelligence is exceedingly high; even if one used every trick in the book, it would be pointless if the Divine Beast itself was unwilling.

For Ji Jin'Er, who had a Fire Five Elements affinity, possessing a Wood Element Celestial Horse was undoubtedly the greatest form of support, allowing her to achieve twice the results with half the effort in everything she did.

Yuan Juhuo and the others were also a bit envious when they saw the Celestial Horse. A suitable Seventh Transformation beast was already hard to come by, to say nothing of a perfectly compatible Nine-Transformation one.

There were Divine Beasts with heavy killing intent that most Cultivators wouldn't dare use. Unless one's Cultivation was exceptionally high, their mind could easily be influenced. A sacred and extremely loyal beast like the Celestial Horse was simply priceless.

It was said that this type of beast would live and die with its master.

Gazing at the Celestial Horse, Master Wang was reminded of Old Horse. 'This Celestial Horse is female...'

Ni Yong frowned. "Something's not right!"

Zhang Yang's flippant expression vanished in an instant. He roared, "Everyone, be careful!"

Zhang Yang was usually nonchalant, so when he got serious, it clearly meant something terrible was happening. Everyone immediately drew closer to Ji Jin'Er. The Celestial Horse's white fur stood on end, radiating light; the Divine Beast had sensed the crisis.

The barrier had still not disappeared.

The ground began to tremble as the temperature plummeted. Ni Yong pressed his palms together. "Heaven and Earth Five Elements, Spirit God's Protection—Qiankun Daluo Holy Protection!"

Only now did Ni Yong display his formidable power. The Qiankun Daluo Holy Protection could resist Five Elements damage, but even with his strength, Ni Yong seemed to be struggling.

"How is this possible? This is only the twenty-eighth floor, but this power level has already surpassed the sixtieth."

Meng Ningzhi murmured.

Suddenly, everyone remembered they had forgotten someone: Golden Wolf.
