The divine seal descended, emanating a mysterious and faint luster. In an instant, it enveloped all six directions—up, down, left, right, front, and back—restraining Ye Chen within a small cubic space, leaving him no room to break free. Moreover, immense pressure squeezed in from all sides.
Countless subtle, almost imperceptible forces also impacted his body, transforming into countless invisible divine needles that sought to seal the divine power and Dao marks within him, preventing their circulation and breakthrough.
What a unique sealing divine ability.
A trace of surprise flickered in Ye Chen's eyes. He did not use his overwhelming power to forcefully shatter the seal. Instead, with a shudder through his entire body, he cleverly shook off those forces and lightly extended a finger to tap it.
Thud—
Though it was just a light tap, this finger was far beyond what an ordinary Demi-Saint could withstand.
Yet he found the divine seal to be extremely sturdy. At the Demi-Saint level, it would be difficult for most to break open this six-direction cubic space.
Naturally, with Ye Chen's strength, a casual sweep of his palm would have utterly scattered that combat imprint without the slightest effort.
But he did not do so. Instead, he quietly experienced this sealing divine ability, suppressing his own power to the Demi-Saint level. His sword-finger pointed out, sword radiance dazzling enough to cleave heaven and earth, and with some effort, he shattered the six-direction space.
Then, before the combat imprint of that Demi-Saint Jia Hua could make another move, Ye Chen flicked his finger. A pillar of divine radiance blotted out the sky and sun, directly crushing down.
Puff—
Demi-Saint Jia Hua turned to dust. That martial arts imprint naturally flew before Ye Chen, who grabbed it. Instantly, it transformed into a stream of information that merged into his divine sense.
Six Directions Heaven-Sealing Technique!
This was the ultimate divine ability left by Demi-Saint Jia Hua. As expected, it was precisely the sealing divine ability used earlier.
Ye Chen had to admit that this Six Directions Heaven-Sealing Technique was extraordinary. It not only sealed all six directions and eight points comprehensively, but also had threads of sealing power transforming into divine needles that pierced into the opponent's body, directly blocking the circulation paths of divine power and even restraining the power of Dao marks.
For a Demi-Saint, it was indeed very powerful. Moreover, given his combat experience, it could even be greatly beneficial for a Saint.
Because this Demi-Saint was undoubtedly a super Demi-Saint, capable of rivaling a Saint. No wonder he had the qualification to leave his martial arts imprint within the Martial Arts Divine Stone.
Although in Ye Chen's eyes it appeared crude and full of flaws—he could spot no fewer than ten weaknesses at a glance—within that Demi-Saint realm, it was already quite remarkable.
Ye Chen did not disdain it and accepted it all the same.
These martial arts imprints were all precious. Many might not be of great use to him, but truly, to comprehend the Chaos Dao, one must master ten thousand Daos, then unify them into one, in order to better perfect the Chaos Dao.
And so, following the information from the martial arts imprint, he began to form seals. At first, his movements seemed clumsy, but soon, a Six Directions Heaven-Sealing Technique was executed. A cubic divine seal floated up and down in his palm, radiating divine light.
"Heh, learning a mere Demi-Saint divine ability, how pathetic. Could he be one of those so-called geniuses from the outside world?"
At that moment, a discordant voice rang out. A young disciple of the Ancient Divine Palace looked at Ye Chen with disdain. He was around the same age as Ye Chen, clad in purple-gold radiant robes and wearing a jade crown. He sneered and mocked to some fellow Ancient Divine Palace disciples beside him, utterly humiliating and not placing Ye Chen in his eyes at all.
In their view, Demi-Saint level martial arts imprints were the lowest grade of divine ability manuals, not worth mentioning. Only the weak would cultivate them.
"Senior Brother Gu Xuefeng is right. Only those so-called geniuses from the outside world, like from the Ancient Divine Continent, would learn such Demi-Saint divine abilities."
Other Ancient Divine Palace disciples also chuckled lightly, appearing very scornful, and automatically categorized Ye Chen as one of those outside-world geniuses.
Ye Chen glanced at him. The Six Directions Heaven-Sealing Technique in his palm directly flew out and, with a swish, landed on that disciple, instantly sealing his six directions and eight points, restraining him within.
"Brat, how dare you attack me!"
Gu Xuefeng's expression changed slightly. He snorted coldly and attempted to struggle. Powerful Saint might surged within his body, capable of shaking heaven and earth, shattering the void. But he soon discovered that the cubic divine radiance was actually very sturdy; he could not break it open.
One must know he was a powerful Saint, whose Saint might could shatter heaven and earth at will, yet he actually could not break this small restraint.
Even within the illusory space of the Martial Arts Divine Stone, it was the same.
Moreover, those countless subtle forces transformed into strands of power divine needles, piercing into Gu Xuefeng's body, directly sealing the circulation paths of his divine power and his Dao marks.
In the blink of an eye, this Gu Xuefeng went from a powerful Saint to an ordinary person devoid of any magical power.
"Brat, what do you think you're doing? Release me immediately, or my Ancient Divine Palace will not let you off!" Gu Xuefeng roared in panic. The other disciples were dumbfounded; their esteemed Senior Brother Gu Xuefeng had fallen to this state in an instant.
Ye Chen's finger made a virtual gesture. The cubic divine radiance, along with Gu Xuefeng, shrank to the size of a palm, floating up and down in his hand. He spoke from a commanding height, "Didn't you say it was a mere Demi-Saint divine ability? Yet I used this Demi-Saint technique to defeat you."
Then he flicked his finger. A terrifying force took effect. With a rumble, the entire cubic divine technique was sent flying, hurtling through the Martial Arts Divine Stone space.
With a puff, the cubic divine radiance scattered. Although the Primordial Spirit of Gu Xuefeng within was not annihilated, it became greatly ethereal, suffering severe Primordial Spirit damage. It transformed into a streak of light and fled the Martial Arts Divine Stone space, returning to his real body.
Pfft—
When his main body awoke, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. The light of his Primordial Spirit between his brows was exceedingly dim. This damage was not limited to the Martial Arts Divine Stone space; it was the same in reality. He would need at least several decades to a century of quiet cultivation to recover.
Too terrifying. Gu Xuefeng knew he had provoked a terrifying figure. How dare he stay any longer? He hurriedly left.
The other Ancient Divine Palace disciples in the martial arts space looked at each other, also somewhat fearful. They hastily departed, not daring to linger for a moment, also fearing Ye Chen might attack them.
Ye Chen paid them no mind at all, continuing to practice the Six Directions Heaven-Sealing Technique on his own. By the third time he executed it, the Six Directions Heaven-Sealing Technique had become extremely proficient. Moreover, Ye Chen had even repaired several flaws in this sealing divine ability, making it more complete.
If others knew that Ye Chen had not only mastered the execution of a divine ability in just a few breaths but also improved it, they would be utterly astonished.
Because no matter how powerful one was, one shouldn't completely master the execution of an unfamiliar divine ability in just a few breaths; it required some time to familiarize oneself. But Ye Chen was exceptionally intelligent, already a monster to begin with, and with the boost of Faith Power, he thoroughly mastered and improved it.
