From a distance, seeing the light shield protecting the entire Royal City, Ye Zhongming felt a bit more at ease. The sight of those rays shining down on the shield completely relieved his worries.
The deeper Ye Zhongming understood power, the more he realized that no matter what kind of attack it was, there was always a principle to follow: the greater the power, the more limitations it had.
Whether it was the consumption of mental energy, physical stamina, cooldown time, or other factors, there were always constraints. In short, powerful skills could not be used carelessly; they would always have certain limitations.
If the attack launched by the Temple of Dawn outside was truly as powerful as the Guardian of the Sacred Pool claimed, then it must have its restrictions, and the facts proved Ye Zhongming's speculation.
However, the fact that it had been launched four times in total was somewhat frightening.
"You, this, I, it…"
The Guardian of the Sacred Pool had probably only been this emotional when he first became a disciple of the previous Guardian. He had never lost his composure like this before. He had just witnessed the almighty god's Law Pearl in the temple emit the light shield that protected the city wall, and the one who activated the Law Pearl was none other than Ye Zhongming!
Ye Zhongming felt a little awkward. After all, this Law Pearl belonged to the posthumous child, and now he was taking it for himself… Well, though he only had a seven percent ownership of it for now, still, without anyone's permission, he had reinforced the pearl for his own use. Hearing the Guardian of the Sacred Pool question him, he felt a bit embarrassed.
Of course, he was only feeling embarrassed. If someone suggested that Ye Zhongming should return the pearl or restore it to its original state, he would definitely refuse.
At worst, he could compensate with some weapons and equipment.
"This, I activated it."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Zhongming chose a term that everyone could accept.
Then, fearing the Guardian of the Sacred Pool would ask more questions, he said he needed to check the situation on the city wall and quickly left.
Upon reaching the city wall, Ye Zhongming happened to encounter the warriors who were carrying down the bodies of the Minghan Tribe. The tragic sight of those bodies moved him. If he hadn’t activated the Brown Bone Law Pearl's Heavenly Shield at that time, perhaps the warriors at Cloud Summit would have ended up like this too.
Climbing onto the city wall, several king zuns and Xia Lei gathered around, their gazes towards Ye Zhongming now different.
"This…"
Ye Zhongming, who had not been here earlier, was the only one everyone could think of who could have accomplished this. Thus, King Ling Kun pointed to the light shield above their heads and asked.
Ye Zhongming nodded. "The Law Pearl in the palace was activated by me. I can't really explain the specific process, but I obtained the right to use its certain abilities, and it seems I need to continuously nurture it to exert more effects."
The expressions on the faces of the king zuns were one of utter disbelief; their minds were racing.
When they became king zuns, they had also entered the palace and sworn an oath before the Law Pearl. They could guarantee that they were ten thousand times more devout than Ye Zhongming when they swore, yet they didn’t even get the acknowledgment of the Law Pearl; they barely knelt on the ground.
That place was sacred; not just anyone could go up and clean it.
Now, someone who came from Earth, an outsider known to everyone as a foreign king zun, had actually received the recognition of the Law Pearl and even activated it. This world was indeed on the brink of destruction.
However, they couldn’t really say anything. After all, it was Ye Zhongming who activated the Law Pearl in a crisis and saved the Royal City once with its power. It would be inappropriate to say anything now, so the king zuns remained silent, all deciding to go to the palace later to take a look. There was no reason why an outsider… a foreign king zun could do something they couldn’t.
