Half a day.
Zhong Shanqiu took a few breaths, apparently quite exhausted.
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing also did not refuse.
"What should I do"
“Have you seen the Dao Marks on the Chasing Void Shuttle Just channel your power into any one of them.”
Zhong Shanqiu pointed at several Daoist seals on the boat.
Understood.
Shen Changqing wasted no time, directly pouring his power into one of the talismans.
Of course.
He didn't reveal all of his strength, but deliberately kept some back.
But even so.
After receiving the power infusion, Chase's speed increased by a few points.
See here.
Zhong Shanqiu's eyes flickered. "Although Zhenmo Senior Brother doesn't enter the Divine Realm, his foundation is truly profound and powerful. If he ignites the divine fire one day and ascends to the Divine Realm, he will definitely be another terrifying strongman."
After seeing that Shen Changqing had no aura of faith, he had already given up hope that the other party could play any role.
Who would have thought.
The other party's background is unexpectedly profound.
Though not reaching the divine realm.
But the depth of his cultivation was already beyond that of a god realm.
Among all heavens.
Those who can rival the realm of gods without entering it are prodigies, each with extraordinary talents. They are expected to become powerful beings capable of reaching the divine king realm in the future.
For a moment.
Zhong Shanqiu's heart was filled with many thoughts.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
In his mind, a scene unfolded: a fallen noble family expending every ounce of their resources to cultivate a prodigy, hoping that one day, he would rise to prominence and restore the family's glory.
If you say.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The other party is a genius cultivated with all their strength by the Zhen Mo clan, so it's completely understandable.
Then there are the fallen clans, whose foundations must also be extraordinary.
Those who are cultivated with all their might are naturally not to be underestimated.
This also explains it from a side angle.
Why the Demon Suppression Evergreen appears in the Death Forbidden Zone.
In Zhong Shan's view.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's certain that the Zhen Mo Clan allowed him to go out for experience.
Want to become stronger.
It is impossible to only cultivate through suffering.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Only by venturing into the path less traveled can one truly become a powerful being.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!
"Brother Zhōngshān is joking."
Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, his expression unchanged.
Upon seeing this.
Zhong Shanqiu didn't say anything more.
The two of them silently poured their power into the Void Chariot, channeling all of it into this fifth-rank magical artifact. This amplified its might to the extreme, making its speed reach unimaginable levels.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Suddenly.
The void collapses.
A giant foot crushed down from the void, bearing down on the Empty Shuttle town.
"Presumptuous!"
Zhong Shanqiu's face darkened with fury. He let out a bellow, and an endless whirlwind surged from the void, sweeping towards that gigantic foot.
Boom!
Two forces collided, and waves of immense power spread outwards.
>
Next.
As soon as they arrived, a figure appeared out of thin air and attempted to forcefully land on the Chasing Void Shuttle. However, Zhong Shanqiu would naturally not allow this and immediately engaged in battle with him.
"Brother Zhenmo, don't interrupt the transmission of power from the Chasing Void Shuttle. Leave the rest to me!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Good!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing nodded.
He had no intention of getting involved himself.
>
The sudden attack by a mysterious strongman also allowed him to see just how powerful the Zhongshan clan truly was.
On the chase after a phantom.
Zhong Shan's feud, his feet were firmly planted, with no intention of leaving. His whole body’s power surged to the limit, bombarding towards the empty space.
Meanwhile.
The void ripped open, and a figure moved at a speed almost as fast as the Chasing Void Shuttle. They immediately attacked, seemingly determined to forcefully seize this divine weapon.
Shen Changqing looked at the man, his eyes filled with a hint of surprise.
At a glance.
That person seemed indistinguishable from a human, but upon closer inspection, one could spot the discrepancy.
First.
That person's feet were enormous, completely disproportionate to their body. What was even more surprising was that their heels were in front and their toes were behind, as if they were reversed.
Only its two feet bore strange markings that blazed with an otherworldly light, making its speed terrifyingly fast.
Look again at Zhoushan's revenge.
The other party didn't seem to have changed much, but with every breath, a raging wind would erupt, its power far surpassing that of the earthly gales by manyfold.
“I am of the Zhōngshān clan, you dare to make enemies of my Zhōngshān clan!”
When Zhōngshān Qiú let out a furious shout, he unleashed a gale-force wind at the same time.
Hearing this.
That man smiled coldly and said, “This is a death zone. If you die here, the Zhongshan clan will never know. Just take this fifth-grade Dao weapon!”
As they were speaking.
He had already stomped his way in.
A colossal foot stomps upon the infinite void, its terrifying might shaking hearts to their core.
Upon seeing this.
>
Zhong Shanqiu's face darkened with fury.
"Great!"
Since you wish to seek your own death today, I shall grant you your wish!
That's all I have to say.
A terrifying aura erupted, and Zhong Shanchou's figure vanished instantly, transforming into a crimson serpent god. It writhed for thousands of miles, coiling in the void, with a human head and an angry expression on its face.
>
As the other party revealed their true form, the gray void suddenly brightened a little.
Then.
Zhong Shan's eyes were closed once more.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
The originally bright void seemed to have suddenly plunged into infinite darkness.
Beneath her eyelids, two black whirlpools appeared, like bottomless abysses, sending a chill down one's spine.
His gaze involuntarily fell upon the two black vortexes, and subsequently, his face turned pale.
"Oh no!"
He felt a surge of immense fear, wanting to struggle and escape, but his mind had already been pulled in.
Finally.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The entire body, uncontrollably, was drawn towards that infinite abyss.
The next moment.
The void returns to its original color.
Zhongshan Chou returned to his original form and appeared on the Chasing Void Shuttle.
His eyes were tightly shut, as if he were engaged in a silent struggle with something.
For a long time.
That struggling force disappeared.
Zhong Shan Chou reopened his eyes, a hint of relief on his face.
“Zhongshan brother's strength is truly formidable, I admire you!”
Shen Changqing offered his congratulations.
Recalling the exchange they just had, it was completely different from how he used to fight among humans.
There's no trick to it.
All that was used were certain mysterious methods.
At this point.
Any ingenious tricks are useless, what truly matters is the foundation of real strength.
However.
What truly shocked him was the methods Zhong Shanqiu used upfront.
Shen Changqing could tell.
The person who made the move was a powerful fighter, at least a strong being in the God Realm. But only a momentary flicker of darkness appeared in the void, and when it recovered, the opponent had been dealt with.
Such means.
Some are terrifying.
Upon hearing this.
Zhong Shan's face showed a hint of a smile: "Brother Zhen Mo is too flattering. It's just that the spirits of the Zhon clan are too arrogant. They dare to be enemies with my Zhong Shan clan and even dare to face the darkness abyss of my Zhong Shan clan."
If he were a mid-stage Immortal, there would be a chance of survival.
To barge into the realm of the gods as a novice is to court death.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"The Abyss of Darkness"
Shen Changqing's face was full of doubt.
Mystical powers
What else
Zhong Shanchou patiently explained, "The Abyss of Darkness is the innate supernatural power of my Zhongshan clan. I'm afraid Zhenmo's Zhenmo clan's innate supernatural power isn't weak either. When you reach the Divine Realm in the future, you'll naturally understand."
"It turns out to be the Heaven's Gift supernatural power of the Zhongshan clan!"
Shen Changqing suddenly realized.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When he was speaking, his mind was on something else.
From the other person's words, I got a new piece of information.
Godly talent!
Looking at Zhong Shan's confident expression, it seems natural for every race to possess innate talents and divine abilities.
And.
Only when one reaches the realm of a god can they awaken their innate divine abilities.
I thought about myself.
Shen Changqing discovered that he seemed to lack any extraordinary talents or divine abilities.
To speak of the divine realm.
Entering the cave heaven realm is considered a divine realm.
Could it be...
To awaken the human race's innate divine abilities, one must first ignite the sacred fire with faith.
I thought about it.
Here's the translated text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He still gave up the idea.
Although looking at Zhāng Shānqiú, his innate talent and supernatural powers are indeed formidable, but the martial path I'm currently walking isn't necessarily much weaker than his.
Especially the excavation of hidden secrets, it has greatly increased my own strength.
In this situation.
Giving up one's own advantages to seek the divine abilities of human beings is clearly not advisable.
And.
This text is empty.
Even Shen Changqing suspected that there might be no innate supernatural powers among the human race.
Whether it's Man Shen or Taishanfu Jun, they have never mentioned anything about innate supernatural powers.
Either the other party forgot, or there's no innate divine ability for humans.
Both of them.
The latter possibility is the most likely.
Whether innate abilities are unique to certain races or common to all, he still needs to figure that out.
Too many inquiries at the moment are clearly not helpful.
After all, asking too many questions about some things can lead to unnecessary trouble.
Shen Changqing had already made up his mind. After leaving the Forbidden Zone of Death, he would find a way to figure things out.
Please note that I can't actually "see" the HTML tags. I only process the text content within them. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But at the most critical moment, it's still important to leave the so-called death zone first.
He has already felt it.
The threat behind me is slowly approaching.
If we don't escape now, the tide of death will surely catch up to us.
By then.
Perhaps it will only meet a tragic end.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
On the other side.
Zhong Shanqiu also seemed to have sensed something, and the smile on his face faded.
>
“Brother Zhenmo, this is not the time to talk. Right now, we should focus on activating the Chasing Void Shuttle with all our might and leave the Forbidden Zone of Death. We can discuss everything else later.”
"Great!"
Chen Changqing nodded.
Then.
Both of them poured their power into the Chasing Void Shuttle, causing the full might of this divine weapon to be activated.
Dashing through the air.
The speed has reached its peak.
During this period, there were also some powerful individuals, similar to the previous Heel Clan, who wanted to seize the Chasing Void Shuttle.
However.
Either the clan members would quietly withdraw their hands when announcing the name of the Zhōngshān clan during revenge, or they would be personally driven back by Zhōngshān's own hand.
Here we come along the way.
Shen Changqing also understood the status and position of the Zhongshen clan, as well as how strong Zhong Shanqiu's strength really was.
Pop!
As if passing through some kind of barrier, the void remained just as it was.
But.
However, Shen Changqing could feel that the evil forces filling the void had completely vanished.
It is obvious.
Now they have officially left the Death Zone.
With an expression of extreme seriousness, Zhongshan Chou had now shown a look of relief.
Just then.
A terrifying wave erupted within the Death Zone.
Then.
Just as he saw a vast divine nation pressing down from the void, a powerful being emanating terrifying golden light appeared. With one hand, he held up the divine nation, as if engaged in a battle with some terrible entity.
Sometimes there are earth-shattering roars.
Then.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then there spread waves of destruction.
That terrifying fluctuation, even extending beyond the confines of the Death Zone, caused the endless void to surge and churn.
The silent pursuing shuttle, even with its stillness, was shaken by this impact.
>
“God King!”
Zhong Shan's face suddenly changed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That terrifying fluctuation, even from a distance he couldn't fathom, gave him a feeling of dread.
Such power.
This is not something that can be compared to a god realm.
Before the God King.
The divine realm isn't saying they are ants, but they definitely aren't much better.
Oh, God King!
Shen Changqing, upon hearing these two words, recalling the vast and divine nation he had just seen, was also shaken to his core.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Both are from the divine realm.
>
The former divine nation was not comparable to the illusory divine realm conjured by the demon god of the demonic race.
Compare carefully.
That demon god's condensed nation-state phantom was nothing but a dilapidated village. The nation-state from before, that was the true kingdom.
"It seems another God King is fighting something from the Death Tide!"
Zhong Shan's voice was grave.
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing frowned: "If we can all leave the Death Forbidden Zone, the God King couldn't possibly be unable to escape, could he"
They could leave by means of a void shuttle, so how could the God King not have any means
The scene before us now.
It seems there's something not quite right.
Zhong Shanqiu glanced at him and then shook his head: “Brother Zhenmo, your knowledge needs to be broadened. Although the Death Forbidden Zone is dangerous, it also has great opportunities.”
As the saying goes, "everything that has an end must reverse." Although the Dead Zone is a gathering of darkness and negativity, there's also something called the Pristine Stone. We draw our faith power from it, but it contains many impurities. Only the Pristine Stone can purify those impurities.
This is why I came to the Death Zone.
This is a test.
As for the God King, what they pursue is even different.
Although the Death Tide is terrifying, the many powerful imprints within it are what they need. Often, powerhouses at the level of a Divine King will intentionally enter it alone when the Death Tide appears.
However, some gods managed to succeed and return unscathed, while others perished within.
Before entering the Death Zone, no one could predict what the true outcome would be.
Zhong Shanqiu's eyes were deep, as if he could see the Shinto King in the Death Zone, fighting desperately with former powerhouses.
To the pure stone!
Mark of the Strong!
Shén Chángqīng's face moved slightly.
After leaving the human race and entering the void, he was completely clueless about everything.
On the contrary, I got a lot of useful information from Zhong Shanchou's mouth.
At this time.
The roars within the Forbidden Zone echoed once more.
Not long.
It was as if something had shattered. The vast emptiness seemed to be weighed down by a certain pressure.
Zhong Shanqiu's face grew pale: "The God King has fallen. They say one who hears the Dao in the morning can die in peace at night. Perhaps one day, we too will enter the Deathly Forbidden Zone for a fated encounter, to fight alongside those powerful beings."
If it fails, it will be a downfall!
Nothing is more shocking than witnessing the fall of a god king with your own eyes.
Though the Divine Realm may seem powerful, it is nothing compared to those who stand before us.
But now.
Even a god king can fall, so how could a mere being of the God Realm possibly have the qualifications for immortality
On the other side.
Shen Changqing was also shocked.
The power of the God King, he had once experienced it. Just a wisp of residual sword energy was enough to make him feel its terrifying might.
But—
Even a being as powerful as the God King could fall so easily.
This moment.
Shen Changqing understood deeply that his departure from the world was the most correct decision.
Don't leave.
Even though it holds the title of the number one human, it's only looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.
Only leaving.
Only then can you truly experience the vastness of the outside world.
Among the human race.
The divine realm represents the pinnacle of existence.
Outside, even a God King wouldn't be considered top-tier.
After all, from Zhong Shanqiu's words, he understood that there were even more powerful beings above the God King.
Please note: I only translated the content within the > tags. The HTML tags themselves were not translated.
Suddenly.
A golden light burst forth.
First time.
Zhong Shanqiu suddenly sprang from his empty shuttle, charging towards the golden light. When he returned, he held a golden crystal in his hand.
"I didn't expect to be this lucky this time, to find a piece of the Divine Kingdom. This trip to the Death Zone was worth it!"
He was in high spirits.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even among his own Jongsan clan, there were not many Divine Country fragments.
Having obtained this shard of the Divine Nation, once refined in the future, it will surely be able to advance further on the existing foundation.
Put away the fragments of the God Nation.
Zhong Shanqiu fixed his gaze on Shen Changqing: “Now that we have left the Death Zone, I wonder what plans Brother Zhenmo has for the future”
>
"I wish to travel."
Since Zhènmó brother wants to travel, why not come back with me to the Zhōngshān clan Zhènmó brother and I are practically old friends. The Zhōngshān clan has always been hospitable to guests. If you have any questions, Zhènmó brother can ask me.
In comparison, the void is more perilous. Traveling alone is likely quite unsafe.
>
Zhong Shanchou smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this.
After a moment's thought, Shen Changqing finally shook his head: "I won't disturb Brother Zhongshan for now. If he has time someday, he will naturally visit the Zhongshan clan."
Although he knew Zhong Shanqiu, barging into a clan's territory was still too dangerous.
If there is really a demon-suppressing clan backing me, then that's understandable.
But.
The Zhenmo clan itself is purely fictitious.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
When it comes to the Demon Suppression Division, none are stronger than I.
If I were to be folded within the Zhongshan clan, then things would get interesting.
>
One can know a person's face but not their heart.
Shen Changqing would not blindly trust someone he had just met.
Therefore.
He had no intention of going to the Zhongshan clan at all.
Even if Zhong Shan Chou had no ill intentions towards himself, one could not guarantee that other strong individuals within the Zhong Shan clan would not have some thoughts.
Moreover.
Now, the situation with humankind is something I need to figure out first.
>
Right now, knowing nothing, to just go into a powerful clan's territory... isn't that the same as handing your life over to them
“Since Brother Zhensha has made a decision, I wouldn't want to force him. If Brother Zhensha has time in the future, you are welcome to come to the Ancient Continent and visit the Zhuzong of the Changgu Clan. That is the external sect territory of my Zhongshan clan.”
Zhong Shanqiu said.
The Ancient Continent
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Candle Sect
Shen Changqing silently clicked his tongue at the name, then nodded.
“When Zhongshan brother is available, I will definitely visit him.”
"Okay."
“Then I will take my leave.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing clasped his fists in salute and then turned to leave.
Zhong Shanchou, standing on the Chasing Void Shuttle, suddenly revealed his true form. His eyes closed, and two dark whirlpools churned within them. The surrounding void darkened for a moment.
"Brother Zhenmo!"
A low voice sounded.
At once.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Just then, Shen Changqing's figure disappeared from his spot, without even turning back as he had expected.
The next moment.
Brilliant blades slashed through the darkness.
>
In an instant.
Zhōng Shān Chú's heart rose to a great alarm, and he suddenly turned around. His enormous snake tail swept out, shattering layers of void.
Rip -- Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The blade flashed, and the snake's tail was severed.
>
When the divine blood fell onto the void, he let out a painful cry.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
One move succeeds.
Shen Changqing closed his eyes tightly, refusing to look at Zhong Shanchou.
That's when.
Zhong Shan Qiu opened his mouth and let out a breath, a terrifying hurricane swept in, obliterating every inch of the affected void.
That's it.
He took a step forward, and the teleportation technique of "Chi zhi tian ya" (A Step to Heaven and Earth) unfolded. His figure vanished in an instant, appearing behind his opponent almost simultaneously.
One Divine Ability.
Heaven and Earth are cleaved by a single sword.
>
Like a celestial blade cleaving the heavens, it tore through the darkness completely.
Zhong Shan's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively wanted to turn back and defend himself, but his movements only got halfway through before freezing in place.
After a moment.
His head rolled from his neck, blood spurting forth.
The immense serpent's body crashed heavily into the void, and then there was no more movement.
Zhong Shan died tragically.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
The darkness in the void vanished instantly.
Shen Changqing sheathed his sword and stared at the motionless serpent lying in mid-air. His chest heaved violently.
Just now we had a battle.
Please provide me with the content you would like me to translate. I can help translate text within tags, but please remember that I won't modify the HTML structure itself. Just give me the text between the tags and I'll do my best!
Though it seems to end quickly, in reality, it consumes a great deal of energy.
Every clash is accompanied by countless perils. Should one step falter, there is the possibility of utter ruin.
I have to say.
Zhong Shanqiu's strength was indeed terrifyingly powerful, especially his innate supernatural power, the Dark Abyss, which was an extremely frightening means.
Close your eyes and don't look.
>That was just a temporary solution that Shen Changqing came up with.
After all, even with divine talents and supernatural abilities, it's impossible to be so powerful that there are no weaknesses. If it were truly deployed and could drag all living beings into it, it would be terrifyingly awful.
Therefore.
This is the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When Zhong Shanqiu attacked himself, he decided to take a gamble and try not to look at him, to see if he would still be affected by the divine gift.
Luckily.
I won the bet.
Although the Abyss of Darkness was mighty, it still needed both parties to lock eyes for its power to take effect. Only then would it close its eyes, weakening the opponent's divine abilities significantly.
and this.
This was also the reason for laying the foundation for victory in the future.
To be honest.
Shen Changqing didn't expect that Zhong Shan Chou would attack him.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
> Years of experience have taught him that one can never let their guard down.
So the other party immediately tried to ambush as soon as they made their move, and I reacted first.
As he recalled the killing of Zhongshan's enemy, a sense of déjà vu welled up in his heart, causing Shen Changqing to sink into thought.
When he saw the panel, his face changed slightly.
