Chapters One Hundred and Thirty-one to One Hundred and Thirt
e even Heaven-tier.But.The emperor's words shattered this conjecture.That's it, then.A master martial artist represents the pinnacle of a warrior's potential.>But—Shen Changqing looked at the town gua...Speak and you're dead!
Shen Changqing's heart pounded.
He looked at Gu Cang's terrified face, the other party's words didn't seem fake.
That is to say.
It's possible that the demon race is bound by some kind of restriction, preventing them from revealing their origins. Otherwise, they would die directly.
Immediately.
Shen Changqing just changed the subject.
How many powerful beings are there in the demon race
Our clan has numerous powerful individuals. Whether they are low-ranking demons or high-ranking demons, they are nothing to be concerned about. Only those who are Great Demons and above are true powerhouses.
The power of the human race is, in front of my demon clan, simply not qualified to resist.
Gu Cang answered without hesitation.
In the end, a hint of arrogance crept into his tone unconsciously.
In his view.
It seems that the strength of humankind is truly insignificant.
Chen Changqing narrowed his eyes: "Is the strength of the demon clan really so powerful Why haven't they been able to break through the human race in over three hundred years"
"It's just not the right time yet."
When will it be considered that we have arrived
“I can’t say, I’ll be killed if I do!”
Valley Cang shook his head, a look of fear on his face.
Upon hearing this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing asked several questions one after another, and the other party could hardly answer any of them.
>
For a moment.
He couldn't figure out if there were truly some kind of limitations, or if Gu Cang was simply using this as an excuse to rationalize his own actions.
Only from the complexion.
It's difficult to say for sure.
Then.
>
Shen Changqing asked the last question.
"How did you break through to success, don't say you don't know, or I will send you on your way."
He is already showing signs of impatience.
I don't know anything about it.
It's just a waste of your time.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Hearing this.
Gu Cang didn't shake his head again, but truthfully said: "I was able to break through successfully because the Eternal Alliance gave me a Blood Soul Pill."
Blood Soul Pill
Shen Changqing was puzzled.
It seems he saw through his inner doubts.
"Before he could even ask, Gu Cang spoke on his own: 'It's easy to say that the Blood Soul Pill is difficult to refine, and it's not difficult to say. As long as ten thousand or more souls are sacrificed, the pill can be successfully refined.'"
Such elixirs contain the essence and souls of living beings, they are a great tonic for our race.
Boom!
One palm strike descended.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Gu Cang hadn't reacted yet when he was directly obliterated by that power.
>
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
After forcefully eliminating the other party.
At the same time.
Then a sense of familiarity washed over me.
Then.
It was a surging spiritual power that directly plunged into my mind.
Under that impact.
Shen Changqing's eyes were vacant, lost in a daze.
In the ocean of knowledge.
The blood lotus trembled violently.
After receiving that pure surge of spiritual power, it was as if it had been intensely nourished. The phantom of the seventh petal solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Time goes by little by little.
It could be half an hour, or it could be a whole hour.
The seventh petal of the blood lotus finally solidified, appearing as real as could be.
As the petals solidified.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A mysterious wave emanated from the petals.
Very soon.
The sea of consciousness trembled frantically, as if it had undergone an inexplicable transformation.
Next.
Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!
Then, a terrifying aura exploded out.
The murderous aura pierces the sky.
Having broken through the shackles of Shen Changqing's sea of consciousness, in the blink of an eye he soared into the heavens.
The next moment.
The murderous aura transformed into terrifying sword intent.
From the center of Shen Changqing’s physical body, within a radius of a hundred miles, there was a clear and pleasant sound of a blade ringing, reaching the ears of everyone.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
That moment.
All the warriors raised their heads to look at the sky.
Some people looked puzzled.
Some people.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
... but his face was pale with fright.
"Sword intent soars to the heavens, its sound echoing for a hundred miles, someone has broken through to the peak of Grandmaster!"
With the arrival of powerful experts from Zhen Mo Si, everyone was astonished.
>
As a master.
He was very clear about what caused the current visions.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Only when a powerhouse enters the peak range of the spiritual realm and officially reaches the pinnacle of the Grandmaster realm will such changes occur.
The blade intent soars into the sky!
>
The sound can be heard for hundreds of miles!
With the master's keen perception, the opponent instantly grasped where the sword intent originated from.
That was——
Setting sun city!
“The sword intent comes from Luoyang City!”
"Sunset City"
Upon hearing the words of the Grandmaster beside him, Dul's face was struck with astonishment.
in an instant.
He immediately thought of Shen Changqing.
> The only one who can now enter Luoyang City is Elder Shen. He was once a powerhouse at the peak of the Sect Master realm, but according to news reports, he has only reached an inconceivable level in his physical body.
In terms of spiritual attainment, I have yet to reach the pinnacle.
Isn't this a sign that Elder Shen has officially reached the pinnacle of the spiritual realm
Shocking!
Unparalleled shock!
Even though there were some speculations beforehand.
>
Even when the phenomenon of a hundred blades of steel clashing appeared, Dur still couldn't keep his heart calm.
He was very clear.
If Shen Changqing also reached the peak realm in the spiritual system.
Then.
Then, both sides would become the peak masters of the two major systems.
In the Demon-Suppressing Division, there doesn't seem to be anyone that strong yet.
>
Let's not talk about the Demon Suppression Division anymore.
Even throughout the entire martial arts world, no two peak masters have ever emerged.
Of course.
That was before the Buddha appeared in the world.
Now that the powerful figure from eight hundred years ago has appeared, the appearance of two peak masters is no longer as shocking as before.
But even so.
Durall believed that once this news got out, it would be enough to shock many people.
>
Then, he came to his senses.
"I suggest increasing the lockdown, preventing anyone from entering within fifty miles of Luoyang City until Elder Shen comes out. This will avoid disturbing Elder Shen's breakthrough."
"Hmm."
The master nodded.
He also understood the significance of two peak masters.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It is rumored.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Two peak masters are the key to breaking through the limits.
If the Demon Suppression Division could produce a powerhouse who breaks through the limits, then its significance would be vastly different.
Outside Luoyang City.
The sound of the sword continued to echo incessantly.
Within a radius of ten zhang, Shen Changqing's body was enveloped by sword intent, transforming into a domain of absolute killing.
Anyone.
Anyone who ventures into this territory unbidden will be slaughtered by sword intent.
Over ten zhang wide.
>
Tian Kui paced back and forth restlessly.
Please note: I've removed the original content within the tags because it was empty. If you have content inside the tags, just provide it and I'll translate it for you!
Although it didn't understand the reason for Shen Changqing's current change, it could feel the threat that aura of sword intent brought to itself.
>
That kind of threat.
As a fearsome beast, Tian Kui felt uneasy.
>
But it had only just been born when Shen Changqing took it away. He often swallowed the other's blood, and in the process, a connection was formed between them, making them more intimate.
That's precisely why.
Tian Kui was not scared off by the blade intent and ran away directly.
in the sea of knowledge.
Metamorphosis is still ongoing.
As the seventh petal grew, the sea of consciousness expanded to a certain degree.
Besides that.
The eighth petal's silhouette also grew out little by little.
> Until the outline is complete.
>
Its growth has come to an abrupt halt.
The outside world.
Shen Changqing's dazed expression returned to normal, and then he closed his eyes again, sinking his mind into the sea of consciousness.
When I saw the eight petals, one of which was still just a phantom of blood-red, I was also surprised.
“The spiritual energy given by that demon only allowed me to break through from 65% of my true intent to 75%. I still couldn't break through to 80% true intent. Was it because the demon just broke through its foundation and was insufficient, or did it actually consume so much”
He was secretly shocked.
The spiritual power given by the demons in Luoyang City allowed me to directly break through from 30% true meaning to around 60% mid-stage.
Now.
Once again, I slayed a demon. My understanding of the true meaning has broken through from the mid-sixties to the mid-seventies.
The increase in consumption within the.
This couldn't help but make one's heart pound.
This way.
Even if Xun Qu gave himself a demonic head, Shen Changqing felt that he might not be able to truly reach the peak of a spiritual system.
“As everyone says, the difficulty increases as you progress through the spiritual system. This consumption alone is enough to kill everyone, unless there are a large number of demons supplying energy. Otherwise, reaching the peak is not so simple.”
Shen Changqing took a deep breath.
He only now realized that his original guess had been a little too naive.
Based on current consumption,
If they were all like that demon just now, just having broken through, it would be difficult to imagine reaching the pinnacle of the spiritual realm with only three or five heads.
If the demons are powerful, then their numbers can be reduced accordingly.
However.
Within the Qin Empire's borders, aside from the Demon Suppression Prison and Sealing Tower in the capital city, Shen Changqing simply couldn't find anywhere else to slaughter demons.
Like the situation in Luoyang City, this is a completely isolated case.
"I need to go back and have a good talk with Dongfang Zhao!"
He decided.
When I get back to the Demon Suppression Division this time, I'll lay everything out for Dongfang Zhao.
Otherwise.
It's not enough to just slay monsters; it takes an age to build up a full spiritual system.
The only fastest way is to slay demons.
Anyway, the demons are imprisoned there only for the research of the Netherworld Pavilion and to make newly promoted Sect Masters into Watchkeepers.
Although capturing demons comes at a great price.
If there is a price, then there will be other ways to exchange.
The only issue.
It's just about the high and low of what you put in when you exchange something.
"If it takes only two peaks to break the limits, then eight hundred years ago, before demons descended, Master Sakyamuni could reach the point of breaking the limits. His natural talent was truly astonishing!"
Shen Changqing thought of that Great Sun Tathagata.
>
The opponent is a powerhouse who has broken through limits.
The two systems of the master, later progress was so difficult, that one could break through the limit.
>Just in terms of talent.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
He also admits he is inferior.
However.
It is also possible that Shi Mohe has a different karmic connection.
Shaking head.
Shen Changqing no longer thought about anything else and refocused his attention on himself.
The spiritual system has entered the peak range.
This also resulted in a significant increase in his overall strength.
Name: Shen ChangqingAffiliation: Great Qin Demon Suppression DivisionIdentity: Martial Pavilion ElderTrue Intent: Hundred Battles True IntentMartial Arts: Great Sun Golden Body, Great Sun Scripture, Crimson Yang Divine Palm, Seven Star Sky-Stepping StepKill Count: 563
Divine Ability: 0
There are no major changes on the panel.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But the true meaning of a hundred battles has already directly transformed from sixty percent to seventy percent.
And.
The killing value has officially reached five hundred points.
But.
Shen Changqing also did not immediately go to improve other martial arts.
The current environment is not suitable for seclusion and breakthrough.
“The true meaning of martial arts has successfully entered the seventh stage, and in terms of my spiritual system, I can be considered to have officially entered the peak range. Although it is only a strenuous entry into the peak, it can be said that I have entered that stage!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The party set off from Luoyang.
The greatest harvest is not from the killing points given by demons.
...but rather on the spiritual support they provide.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After reaching the peak.
Even if he were considered the peak of both major systems, he was still a master at the pinnacle.
If we say.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Only when the physical body reaches its peak, comparable to the peak of a low-level demon, can one's spiritual system reach its peak. At that point, one can already contend with mid-level demons.
A breakthrough.
It doesn't look very big.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
But the changes in strength should not be underestimated.

"Blade Intent!"
Shen Changqing's thoughts moved slightly, and a surge of spiritual power surged out of his sea of consciousness, crashing towards the air in front of him.
Rip!
The air separated silently.
It was as if an unparalleled divine weapon had been drawn across it.
Then.
And again he extended his right hand, the palm of his hand gathering mysterious power, the phantom of a small knife already taking shape.
The knife is not big.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But there was a terrifyingly sharp aura leaking out, as if with just a slight wave, it could easily obliterate an ordinary master.
The "Hundred Battles Sword Technique," while primarily a martial art focused on killing, also contains within its true essence an overwhelming amount of murderous aura.
However, all martial arts have their origins. Whether it is swordsmanship focused on killing or swordsmanship focused on combat.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Ultimately, it all boils down to the sword. As it evolves to its final stage, it will transform into the purest sword intent!
Shen Changqing felt the breath of the small knife in his hand, and suddenly a realization dawned on him.
There are thousands of martial arts.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Ultimately, they all arrive at the same destination.
Ultimately, the Hundred Battles Blade Technique is just another sword technique.
> The knife technique.
What coalesces naturally is then the intent of the blade.
Don't underestimate the fact that it's only a 10% increase compared to before. But after condensing the pure intent of the blade, both the sheer attacking power and mental strength have increased more than twofold.
"Go!"
Shen Changqing flung the small knife condensed in his hand forward.
Suddenly.
Just then, the small knife left the grip of his hand and instantly grew to several zhang in size. It accurately slashed onto the city wall.
Click—
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
The city wall is cracked.
There are indelible knife marks, deeply engraved there.
Upon seeing this.
He nodded in satisfaction.
"With a single strike, I can slay anyone below the peak of a Grandmaster!"
He has not reached the peak of the spiritual system.
I will never be able to understand, just how strong those who have reached this realm truly are.
Although.
With my current abilities, I'm still not able to compare to Wang Mubai and Shi Mohe.
It has made progress on its own.
Shen Changqing was still quite satisfied.
>
This is the time.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Even Tian Kui, who had been hiding far away, also came over.
Looking at the small thing at my feet.
He squeezed a drop of blood from his finger and flicked it toward the other person.
Tian Kui cooperated, opening his mouth and swallowing the drop of fresh blood. Afterward, his spirit was shaken.
"Woooo!"
Let's go!
Taking a look at the somewhat dilapidated Luoyang City, Shen Changqing shook his head and turned to leave.
The battle continues to this day.
The last person from the Eternal Alliance is long gone, there's no way to find them.
This HTML tag is not a valid closing tag.
Please make sure your HTML tags are properly nested and closed.
Otherwise.
If you kill that demon, you can earn another thirty or so points of killing points.
As for the ruins of Luoyang City, they had nothing to do with him.
Anyway.
Later, officials from the imperial court will handle this.
Fifty miles after leaving Luoyang City, Shen Changqing finally saw the imperial soldiers stationed there, as well as the powerful figures from the Demon Suppression Division.
Only to see the soldiers form an arc, as if they had surrounded the entire fifty-mile radius of Luoyang City.
Such a lineup.
It's not ordinary.
That's it.
He didn't think it was a small matter.
Inside Luoyang City, there was originally a terrifying monster at the peak of its power. Now, it has transformed into a demon.
This is a being of that level.
It's perfectly normal to have troops mobilized and stationed to form an encirclement.
Otherwise.
To let a demon of this caliber run free, the consequences would be catastrophic, with entire cities reduced to rubble.
This is the end of the paragraph.
"Elder Shen!"
Seeing Shen Changqing appear, Du'er immediately went up to greet him.
There should be other people around him, too.
Shen Changqing nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the person beside him.
The other party's aura fluctuated subtly.
The strength is roughly at the level of a Grandmaster.
Aware of the gaze.
That person cupped his fists and said, "I am Feng Qi, a demon exterminator of the Earth Rank in Po Shan City's Demon Suppression Division. I have met Elder Shen!"
"The demon-slayer is enraged!"
Chen Changqing looked as usual, slightly cupped his fist in a gesture of greeting, as if they had met before.
After he spoke.
Feng Qi's expression was curious: "Just recently, within the range of Luoyang City, there was a blade intent that pierced the sky, with a sound that echoed for hundreds of miles. I dare to ask, could it be caused by Elder Shen"
Upon hearing this.
Dù's eyes also held curiosity.
Even though he was already sure, he still wanted to hear a positive answer from the other party.
Shen Changqing nodded: "Fortuitously breaking through, it caused some commotion and made the demon-suppressing envoy pay attention."
“It seems the breakthrough was a success. Legend has it that Elder Shen himself is already a master at the peak of the physical realm. Now, he has reached the pinnacle of the spiritual realm, making him the first master in the Demon Suppression Division to achieve the peak of both realms.”
Compared to this, I am truly ashamed!
His words were full of flattery.
However.
Although the words are flattering, they are also true.
He had been in the Demon Suppression Division for twenty years now, at forty years old, still only circling around the early to mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm. Compared to the person before him, the gap was not small at all.
The demon within Luoyang City has been slain by me, but some members of the Eternal Alliance escaped. You can try searching for them.
At this point, Shen Changqing paused for a moment.
Remembering the way the Dark Robe fled.
He asked Dul for paper and ink again, then drew a portrait of the Black Robe on it.
"This is what the demon of the Eternal Alliance looks like."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Okay."
Dùl received the painting, took a serious look at it with both eyes, and then handed the painting back to Fēngqí.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Immediately.
Feng Qi glanced at the portrait and immediately ordered his men to shrink the encirclement, searching for the whereabouts of that demonic figure.
To prevent demons from breaking through.
The Demon Suppression Division had already set up defenses here.
If someone enters or leaves, it's impossible to escape their gaze.
There is only one explanation at the moment, that immortal alliance demon, is still within the encirclement. As long as we patiently search, it shouldn't be too difficult to find their whereabouts.
Dull said, "What are Elder Shen's plans now"
"How long will it take you to find the whereabouts of that Immortal Alliance demon"
>
"Shortest a day, longest two days."
Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I will then translate it into English, keeping the HTML tags intact.
Dur thought for a moment, then said.
His answer was a conservative estimate; if it wasn't, the timeframe would be faster.
one or two days.
Shen Changqing pondered for a moment: “I will settle in the nearest city. When I have news of that demon, I will notify you immediately.”
A master-level demon.
At least dozens of points of killing value.
If he can find the other person's words, it doesn't matter if he waits a day or two.
If you were to leave here and go to the next place to slay demons, the rewards wouldn't be as high as waiting two days here.
"No problem!"
> Du Zheng paid close attention to the head.
"Damn it, Gu Cang actually died so quickly, what a waste!"
In a certain place within Luoyang City, the black-robed man who had already left unexpectedly returned.
It's not that he doesn't want to leave.
But as he was leaving, he happened to run into the imperial court's encirclement.
If we force our way in.
It's definitely going to cause a big stir.
If one were to alarm the powerful figures of the Town Demon Division, or directly awaken Shen Changqing, then one would be walking a path of no return.
Therefore.
The most dangerous place is the safest place.
The hooded man quietly went back to Sunset City to hide.
Although Luoyang City is now a lone city, its land area is quite large.
> One person is hiding here.
Even if people from the court wanted to look for it, it would be very difficult to find.
When the time is right, we can figure out a way to evacuate.
Two days.
It passed almost in the blink of an eye.
Shen Changqing has been staying in the city for this period of time, occasionally strolling around the surroundings, not leaving the city walls half a step.
It's evening.
The front door was knocked on.
After disguising himself, Dul entered the room.
"Elder Shen."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
How did it turn out
"Bearing the weight of Elder Heshen's expectations, that demon is too skilled at concealing himself. For a time, his whereabouts couldn't be found. If I'm not mistaken, he very likely has blended into Luoyang City."
Alas, finding someone in Luoyang City is no easy feat due to its complex terrain and bustling crowds.
Du'er blushed with shame.
After boasting about what they would do over the next two days, they didn't deliver. It's a bit embarrassing.
Upon hearing this.
However, Shen Changqing had expected this.
For two days, no one from the Celestial Guard came to look for him. It wasn't until now that Dul finally showed up.
The results, and so on.
That had already been understood a long time ago.
“Since we can't find him, then forget it. That demon cultivator is just an ordinary master. Letting him escape won't have much impact. On the contrary, I got some information from that demon's mouth.”
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
"What's the news"
Dúl's expression was startled.
>
What we heard from demons is unlikely to be something simple.
Shen Changqing said: "That demon was able to break through successfully because the Eternal Alliance gave it a Blood Soul Pill. And for the Blood Soul Pill to be refined successfully, at least the blood and soul of ten thousand living beings must be sacrificed."
