Chapter 1599 What It Means
Seeing his attack blocked by Lin Qiye, Shen Qingzhu’s face showed surprise.
Although he hadn’t used his full strength, he was currently a six-winged angel, and even ordinary sub-gods might not withstand this punch. Yet in front of Lin Qiye, it was blocked with just one hand.
Lin Qiye gripped Shen Qingzhu’s fist and exerted force, channeling terrifying power directly into their palms, forcefully sending Shen Qingzhu back dozens of meters before he slowly came to a stop.
“This body…” Lin Qiye looked down at his own palm, the shock in his eyes growing more intense.
He took a deep breath and spoke to Shen Qingzhu again:
“Let’s go again, use your full strength this time.”
“Full strength?” Shen Qingzhu’s expression was somewhat strange. “Are you sure?”
“Uh… eighty percent then.”
“Fine.”
Under Lin Qiye’s extremely vigilant battle stance, six-winged Shen Qingzhu instantly disappeared from his spot. At the same time, Lin Qiye’s pupils slightly contracted as he twisted his body like lightning, delivering a heavy punch behind him!
Boom—!!!
As their fists collided, visible shockwaves tore apart the ground beneath their feet, but Lin Qiye’s body not only didn’t retreat, but instead took half a step forward, throwing a second punch fiercely!
Seeing this, Shen Qingzhu no longer held back his power, engaging Lin Qiye in close combat with full force!
Consecutive explosions echoed through the air. In just half a second, they exchanged dozens of blows, to the extent that even Wu Quan, who stood on the mountain peak at the “Klein” boundary, couldn’t clearly see their movements. He only saw the surrounding air and ground constantly distorting, directly creating a vacuum domain!
From the dizzying afterimages, a figure was sent flying backward. To Wu Quan’s shock, it wasn’t Lin Qiye without his divine domain, but six-winged Shen Qingzhu!
Shen Qingzhu’s wings gently fluttered as he landed on the ground. Looking at the rock-solid figure in the dust, his expression had completely changed.
“How is your physical body so strong?!”
Lin Qiye was at the human ceiling, while Shen Qingzhu was a major god. In terms of boundaries, they weren’t too different, but comprehensively speaking, the former would find it extremely difficult to defeat the latter.
The human ceiling was a human boundary; while major god was a divine boundary.
The human ceiling might be comparable to a major god, but among the many ceiling-level humans throughout history, very few could overpower a major god in single combat. Not to mention the huge gap without divine law, just the species difference alone was extremely difficult to overcome.
When a human cuts a god, the god might bleed, but when a god cuts a human, the human will certainly be severely injured. This is a physiological difference.
Humans and gods are inherently different species, which is why it’s incredibly difficult for humans to become gods… To achieve this, one must face physiological structural changes. Zhou Ping using a sword as his body, Si Xiaonan’s immortality pill, and Wang Mian’s time reversal were all essentially meant to compensate for this deficiency.
But now Lin Qiye, merely at the human ceiling, could rely on his physical body to repel Shen Qingzhu, a major god. Although the latter didn’t use his divine domain either, this was still unbelievable!
“What exactly is the origin of this body?” Besides Shen Qingzhu, Lin Qiye himself was equally shocked.
He knew the three Heavenly Venerable had given him a new body, but never imagined it would be so formidable… Without using spiritual power boundaries, relying solely on physical strength to match a major god—could such a physical body really exist?
Lin Qiye didn’t know what this body was, but undoubtedly, even for the Heavenly Court, this thing was extremely precious, possibly unique in the world.
“Again!” Lin Qiye adjusted his breathing and actively charged toward Shen Qingzhu!
Shen Qingzhu naturally wouldn’t dodge, and the two engaged in battle once more, causing the mountains beneath their feet to violently tremble!
About ten minutes later, they left the area.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to continue fighting, but if they did, not only these mountains but even the ground itself might be torn away. After all, this was the outskirts of Upper Capital, and causing too much disturbance wouldn’t be good.
Where the limits of this body lay, Lin Qiye could only test in actual combat.
“By the way, none of your abilities remained?” Shen Qingzhu asked as they walked.
“None.” Lin Qiye shook his head. “I can’t feel any of my previous powers… [Chaos] probably used some method to lock them all in my original body. If my soul hadn’t left an ‘anchor,’ I would likely have been completely scattered by now.
I suspect He’s had His eye on my body and abilities for a long time.”
Lin Qiye’s heart was full of regret. Including the Mortal Divine Domain, he originally had seven divine domains, plus those abilities obtained from draws, totaling fourteen or fifteen… not to mention the Dark Origin and Faith Power…
Without exaggeration, if Lin Qiye still had that body now, he would definitely be one of the strongest ceiling-level beings in history.
“Perhaps this is a good thing,” Shen Qingzhu consoled. “You had too many abilities before, too diverse, and they were all given to you by gods. No matter how many gods you represent, you’re ultimately just a proxy, not truly yourself.
Without those abilities, perhaps you can go further.”
“Further?” Lin Qiye smiled helplessly. “With just this physical body and no forbidden domain, as a pseudo-ceiling?”
“Not having one now doesn’t mean you won’t in the future… All your previous abilities came from the gods you represented, right? Your true forbidden domain hasn’t been discovered yet, has it?”
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye paused.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Qingzhu asked.
Lin Qiye seemed to recall something and muttered, “A thousand sails vanish into clouds and mist, barefoot through wilderness questioning one’s true heart… Was that what the Marquis meant?”
When on the National Fate Island, Huo Qubing had said those words to him alone, and Lin Qiye had never understood their meaning… At this moment, Shen Qingzhu’s words enlightened him.
Could it be that the Marquis already knew this calamity would befall him?
But how did he know?
Lin Qiye silently resolved that once he had dealt with the current matters, he would definitely visit the National Fate Island again to ask the Marquis about this.
“By the way, the meeting with the special squad is tomorrow?” Lin Qiye seemed to remember something.
“That’s right.”
“Then we should hurry back to prepare… Although they’re all familiar faces, as the new director of Special Operations, I should have something to show.” Lin Qiye pondered for a moment. “I need to visit the Nightwatcher Headquarters first.”
