Chapter 402: Chapters 169-170 Daylight Thunderclap (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch "潇洒拐子" for the reward, 2-in-1 Chapter)_4

The power of a Great Grandmaster.

Although it had completely surpassed the limit that a Grandmaster could endure, to a certain extent, a Great Grandmaster was still within the category of a human being. Though the power they wielded was strong, flattening a barren mountain with a single finger was, honestly speaking, highly unlikely.

But now, by borrowing the power of Divine Skills, Shen Changqing had erased a section of the barren mountain with just one finger. Such power was simply incomparable to that of an ordinary Great Grandmaster.

Even with his current state of mind, the moment he truly felt this power, his heart could not help but palpitate.

He could well imagine it. If other Great Grandmasters possessed this kind of Divine Skill to confront him while he himself lacked any, he knew he would be unable to withstand them. After all, the power borrowed by Divine Skills was simply too strong.

If I consider my own power as one, then after employing Divine Skills, my power directly expands to two. In other words, when I use Star Finger, the power I can exert is doubled. And this is merely the first layer of Divine Skills.

The first layer of Divine Skills could double one’s own power.

Subsequently, each layer advancement would further augment his total exerted power by an amount equal to his original strength.

This increase was an augmentation granted by Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, a strong feeling of weakness surged from within his body, causing Shen Changqing’s complexion to turn slightly pale.

The recoil is coming!

His chest heaved violently.

The power of Divine Skills, evidently, was not something a Great Grandmaster could easily command.

There was always a price to pay for using any kind of power. With previous Martial Arts, given Shen Changqing’s own foundational strength, he had no fear of such costs.

But Divine Skills were different.

Even with the power of a Great Grandmaster, forcibly executing them would still result in a certain degree of recoil.

It was not just the recoil. Even the consumption was incomparable to other Martial Arts.

With my current Qi and Blood Force, I can at most execute Star Finger three times. After three times, my power will be drained. Moreover, each use of Star Finger will entail enduring the recoil of Heaven and Earth’s power. If used too frequently in one go, the recoil will grow stronger.

Shen Changqing’s pallid complexion was gradually recovering.

The recoil naturally came from Heaven and Earth.

When borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth, one had to pay a corresponding price.

Fortunately, his Flesh was strong, and even under the recoil of Heaven and Earth’s power, the consequences were not too severe.

However, if he used it too many times forcefully, even his physique would not endure it.

In light of this, Shen Changqing was not too concerned.

After integrating Star Finger, he understood that this technique could only serve as his trump card, a last resort. Unless it was a specific situation, there was no need to employ it. On ordinary days, the methods he had mastered were enough to deal with many powerful experts. As for Star Finger, it would be used either against beings of the same level or against those stronger than himself.

Shaking his head, Shen Changqing eased his breathing and then turned to leave.

He had witnessed the might of Divine Skills first-hand. The next step would be to spend time comprehending them to elevate Star Finger from the first to the second layer. With the second layer of Divine Skills, the power of Heaven and Earth he could borrow would be twice his own. In that case, the number of experts in the world who could pose a threat to him would decrease significantly.

Perhaps because his strength had not fully recovered, Shen Changqing’s pace was a bit slower than on the way there.

About thirty minutes later, he finally returned to Mountain-Breaking City.

As soon as he stepped into the Demon-Subduing Division, an instinctive feeling surged within him. It felt as if something significant had occurred.

Just then, Xing Yi suddenly appeared, his expression unprecedentedly serious.

"Elder Shen is back!"

"What happened?"

"Two things. An hour ago, outside Mountain-Breaking City, there was a sudden collapse of a mountain. I suspect that something might have happened there. People have been dispatched to investigate, but we have yet to receive any results. And then, people from Baiyue City have arrived!"
