Human Clan Defender-Chapter 700 - s 57 to 60 - Abundant Harvest, Void Heart Sutra (Four-in-One, Request for Monthly Tickets)

The aura of destruction just now was utterly despairing.

He did not doubt it in the slightest.

If the target of the Heavenly Tribulation truly was himself, he wondered if he could withstand it at all.

Death! That would be certain death. And it might even be the kind that leaves no corpse intact.

Fortunately! The target of the Heavenly Tribulation was not him.

As Yi Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a hundred miles away from Exiled Immortal Valley, the sky was dense with tribulation clouds. The destructive lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation thundered down, aiming at Shen Changqing below.

BOOM!!

The sound of thunder was torrential, like the destruction of heaven and earth. Just as he was about to be engulfed by the Heavenly Tribulation, he preemptively threw the jade box containing the Heart of Spirit Vein and the Divine Ability Scroll into the distance.

Space shattered! An endless expanse of pitch black was revealed.

Tens of miles of territory, under the sweep of the Heavenly Tribulation, transformed into a terrifying domain known as Lei Hai. Even Exiled Immortal Valley, situated very far away, trembled uncontrollably under the influence of this force.

The heavenly thunder rumbled on, continuing for several days.

By the time the Heavenly Tribulation fully dispersed, the area previously covered by Lei Hai was left barren. The nearly indestructible power of the Heavenly Tribulation lingered on the land, refusing to dissipate.

At the very center of the Heavenly Tribulation, Shen Changqing used his own power to condense a purple robe over himself, his expression somewhat helpless.

I need to get a set of clothes that won't be destroyed by lightning strikes and won't be easily damaged. Every tribulation ruined a set of clothes, not to mention it was very inconvenient each time.

But he also understood that finding a set of clothes invulnerable to lightning was not going to be simple. At the very least, it would have to be at the Dao Arms level.

How many Dao Arms were there in the world today? As far as Shen Changqing knew, the only Dao Arm he possessed was his Holy Slaying Saber. The spear in Yi Ning's hand could only be considered a quasi-Dao Arm.

He stilled his mind and looked at his own panel.

His Myriad Tribulations True Body had now officially broken through from the seventh rank to the eighth rank. As for Slaughter Value, although it had not surpassed twenty thousand, it was only a few thousand short.

In half a year, the Demon-Subduing Divisions across Great Qin will likely have accumulated plenty of Demon Evils. After returning, I'll see if I can gather the remaining Slaughter Value. If I can take this opportunity to advance to the ninth rank of the Myriad Tribulations True Body, my strength will increase considerably, Shen Changqing mused.

The further he progressed, the more powerful the boost with each breakthrough in Realm. Now, at the eighth rank of the Myriad Tribulations True Body, his strength was already much greater than before.

If, when fighting the Barbarian God, he had only managed to be evenly matched, now, if he were to fight the Barbarian God again, Shen Changqing was confident he could suppress him.

But there was a prerequisite: the Barbarian God's strength could not have increased further. Otherwise, the outcome would be uncertain.

First, he retrieved the jade box and the Divine Ability Scroll, then he returned to Exiled Immortal Valley.

A few days passed. Yi Ning and Tiankui were still waiting there.

"Pavilion Master Shen—"

Seeing him arrive, Yi Ning's eyes revealed a strange expression. After just a few days, not only had the other party changed into a new set of clothes, but his aura had also grown considerably more imposing. Connecting this to the previous Heavenly Tribulation, it was clear that the other party had made another breakthrough.

Without waiting for him to speak, Shen Changqing said directly, "Tiankui, take Pavilion Master Yi back to the Capital City. I have something to take care of and will leave first. We'll meet up at the Demon-Subduing Division."

With those words, he stepped out and left Exiled Immortal Valley.

「Capital City.」

「Demon-Subduing Division.」

Shen Changqing went straight to his own residence, changed into a new set of clothes, and then took out the jade box.

The Heart of Spirit Vein!

Looking at the azure-blue stone housed within the jade box, his eyes flickered. This was the crystallization of a Spirit Vein. The power contained within, he knew without needing to think how incredibly potent it was.

Shen Changqing even felt that if he could fully absorb the Heart of Spirit Vein, he might be able to advance his Myriad Tribulations True Body to the ninth rank.

However, despite such speculation, Shen Changqing did not actually proceed to do so.

The Heart of Spirit Vein was precious. Looking across the world, the Demon-Subduing Division was the only entity known to control a Spirit Vein; nowhere else was rumored to possess one. From this, it could be seen just how rare Spirit Veins truly were.

If the Heart of Spirit Vein were properly established, Great Qin would gain an additional Spirit Vein in the future. But if the Heart of Spirit Vein was refined, it would be akin to draining the pond to catch the fish. In the long run, it was not a good thing.

Beyond that, Shen Changqing had other concerns. He had only recently made a breakthrough. Since it was not through the panel, his foundation was still somewhat unstable after undergoing the tribulation. Rashly refining the Heart of Spirit Vein now would make it difficult to maximize its efficacy.

He would have to wait until his Realm was completely stable. Only then, by refining the Heart of Spirit Vein, could its greatest effects be unleashed.

There's no need to refine the Heart of Spirit Vein so soon; I still have other matters to attend to first, Shen Changqing thought. He sealed the Heart of Spirit Vein again and placed it solemnly in his study.

He had not forgotten his true purpose for entering the Ancient Ruins this time. Obtaining the Heart of Spirit Vein was an unexpected gain. Moreover, compared to the Heart of Spirit Vein, what truly mattered to Shen Changqing were the Soul Refinement Heart Sutra and the Nether Divine Sutra that he had obtained from the Ancient Ruins.

A Spirit Vein can only change the landscape of a single city or region, but Divine Soul Martial Arts can change the landscape of the entire world. When the Soul Refinement Heart Sutra and the Nether Divine Sutra reach Great Achievement, they can allow Martial Artists to advance to the Ancient Domain Realm, which is equivalent to the current latter five stages of the Heaven Being Realm. This point alone is of utmost importance!

Shen Changqing took a deep breath.
