Chapter 348: 168, Divine Skill!

If the primordial demons are the infants of the Star Abyss Demon Clan, then the original blood demons can be considered the toddlers.

——Their bodies are more than ten times larger, with the tallest life system original blood demon reaching a height of over thirty meters!

Even as toddlers, even as the weakest original blood demons, as the challenges of the Star Abyss Fifth Layer, only original level clerics inscribed with multiple sets of holy texts can pass.

This shows how powerful these original blood demons are.

At this moment, those six original blood demons from different factions charged simultaneously from all directions, accompanied by soul-shattering roars, an all-corroding aura of death, illusory and eerie visions, terrifying and pure power… all these terrifying methods descended simultaneously.

Yet Lin Qing seemed oblivious.

He let the Mirror of Suffering that reflected his soul reveal cracks, allowing the pain to continually shatter layers of illusions, relying on life force to replace the damage to his soul and continually consume it.

He merely closed his eyes, fully controlling the divine weapons and the domain, letting the ninety-nine divine weapons transform into strands of light that buzzed and danced around his body, following strange patterns and trajectories, colliding and intersecting.

“Rotating Star!”

In an instant, the dancing streaks of light turned into a frantically spinning light sphere with a radius of merely six meters, but it seemed to isolate from everything.

At the same time, the attacks from the original blood demons also arrived.

Each attack’s power, if converted to pure energy, could shatter entire mountains!

In their colossal forms, this six-meter radius light sphere appeared no more than a spinning soccer ball.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Terrifying forces descended one after another, yet whether it was sheer destructive power, intangible corrosion, or strange waves, when they touched the spinning light sphere, it was as if a clay ox had entered the sea, producing no effect at all.

No matter the attack, the spinning light sphere remained unscathed, merely trembling slightly, like an unbreakable reef under the waves!

The demons roared and howled, continuously deploying new methods in a frenzy to attack the light sphere.

“The energy consumption is really massive…”

Inside the rapidly spinning light sphere, Lin Qing floated at the center, sensing the constantly depleting energy within his body, and couldn’t help but feel shocked.

Fortunately, his energy reserves were incredibly vast, and with the pseudo divine state offering thousands of times faster energy recovery, maintaining it for a while wouldn’t be a problem.

However, for him, the limitation in maintaining time was not energy consumption, but the over-expenditure of heart power.

Unleashing this move required simultaneously controlling ninety-nine specially made divine weapons, the mental burden of which was unimaginable. After executing this move, he probably couldn’t use other divine skills even if he had learned them.

“But… the defense of the Rotating Star is indeed reliable.”

Lin Qing felt very satisfied.

A high level original creature without obtaining an original level divine position rarely could pass the Star Abyss Fourth Layer, it generally required a rare divine position and multiple sets of holy texts enhancing combat power to barely clear the Fourth Layer.

Even barely passing the Star Abyss Fourth Layer would place one near the top in the urban circle.

But even with such strength, they’d be instantly killed in the Star Abyss Fifth Layer, and enduring even one strike would be commendable.

However, he was able to directly withstand the attacks of six original blood demons in the Star Abyss Fifth Layer, remaining unharmed!

“Ignoring the maintenance time, in terms of defense, I should rival those council members who specialize in defense…”

Lin Qing secretly assessed his current level.

Members of the Star Patrol Council were all original level clerics, capable of entering the Celestial Vault Islands, and under the blessings of multiple sets of suitable holy texts, many could clear the Star Abyss Fifth Layer.

Disregarding holy texts and divine skills, his difference with the council members was that they possessed an original level divine position, which was a whole level higher.

However, even specialized defensive holy texts would at most raise one level.

Whereas the same energy level divine skills, when cultivated to perfection, could boost one’s abilities by nearly two levels!

“For me, defensive holy texts aren’t significant anymore; their enhancements can be mostly ignored. Instead, holy texts that reduce mental burden are more useful…”

While maintaining the Rotating Star Divine Skill, Lin Qing allowed the star sky demons’ frenzied attacks to continue, contemplating his current situation.

“Once I master a more comprehensive set of combat divine skills, I can adjust my holy texts to more specialized ones.”

For example, ‘Life Affinity’ is particularly beneficial during cultivation.

‘Source Soul’ and ‘Mirror of Suffering’ are also very useful.

Holy texts like ‘Blood Blade’ and ‘Endless Divine Power’, which enhance combat power, can be swapped out once he masters offensive divine skills.

“Hmm, it’s almost enough, these demons have no more tricks left.”

Lin Qing, using the Rotating Star to withstand the attacks of the six original blood demons, after a while, confirmed that the Rotating Star Divine Skill excelled against various substantial attacks, particularly kinetic energy types, easily dispersing them.

However, it wasn’t adept at resisting illusory mental infiltration and was still effective against telekinesis.

“Time to find the Sixth Layer…”

Lin Qing expanded his domain, maintaining the Rotating Star Divine Skill while moving and probing for the dark vortex leading to the Star Abyss Sixth Layer.

Though his domain of the sixth energy level could expand to several hundred kilometers, the world of the Fifth Star Abyss Layer was enormous, making it difficult to explore entirely.
