Chapter 1376: Nine-tiered Golden Rampart Karmic Flame Pagoda
Qin Lian's words were laced with endless amounts of killing intent and hatred. Even those who were far away could feel the heart palpitating aura of her words. Qin Beiming, Li Zhihuo, and the rest felt their scalps turning numb and their gazes were full of shock.
She stepped forward, and her hands flowed with pitch-black light while she executed hand seals at lightning speed, leaving behind countless afterimages. As each hand seal was executed, the eight Duke Bergfrieds above her began to boom thunderously and an ocean of resonant power rushed into the air, ripping apart the firmament. The pressure exuded by the sheer amount of energy congregating around her caused a hurricane to sweep across the area.
The eight Duke Bergfrieds began to spew out resonant power, which immediately transformed into a black flame. It gave off a cold and gloomy aura, congealing above her.
This transformed into a humongous pagoda that was hundreds of thousands of feet tall. It had nine floors and an intense, jet-black flame surrounded it. The walls of the pagoda were engraved with magical runes and talismans. Golden light began to spread across the walls layer after layer. Its appearance elicited shocked cries.
The weaker Dukes immediately started to shake. Their entire being seemed to have been paralyzed by the imposing pressure radiating from the pagoda, and their faces had turned pale.
An eighth-grade Duke utilizing a Destiny-grade Duke Art with all their strength was so destructive that the mere aftershock could annihilate first and second-grade Dukes.
"Brother Qin, is that a Destiny-grade Duke Art from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin?" Li Zhihuo tentatively asked.
Qin Beiming answered hesitantly, "Hall Master Qin Lian is quite talented. This should be the Nine-tiered Golden Rampart Karmic Flame Pagoda, a lower Destiny-grade Duke Art. She's cultivated it for many years, so she should have reached Greater Completion. It can be considered to be at the peak of lower Destiny-grade and close to middle Destiny-grade. She once used it as a lower sixth-grade Duke to slaughter an upper sixth-grade opponent."
Li Zhihuo's expression paled. Qin Lian was an exceptional genius in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin, and if not for the emergence of Tan Tailan and Li Taixuan, she might have been the central figure in her generation of elites. Thus, she easily had the ability to battle above her grade. That combined with the fact that she was utilizing a Destiny-grade Duke Art meant that she was more than a force to be reckoned with.
