Human Clan Defender-Chapter 799 - s Ancestral Vein, The Power of the Divine King (Two in One, Asking for Monthly Votes)_2

Shen Changqing's Essence Blood vibrated slightly. The earth cracked, and the commotion surely couldn't have been concealed from the people at Fallen Saint Pass. To prevent any issues, he had immediately used his Essence Blood incarnation to notify them. As such, he didn't need to worry about others coming to disturb him.

As for Great Zhou, Shen Changqing looked at the people on Zhou Pass and couldn't help but shake his head. After some time apart, Zhou Pass had become even more substantial than the last time he had seen it; evidently, Mu Shentong's strength had once again increased. Possessing a Domain that covered the entirety of Great Zhou, in some aspects, he truly had a unique advantage that other Heaven-sent Disasters couldn't reach.

Afterward, he turned his gaze toward the cracked ground before him. With one strike from the Barbarian God's axe, the ground had split open, seemingly transforming into a bottomless abyss.

At the bottom of the abyss, Shen Changqing sensed a faint aura. The aura, although weak, exuded a sacred and supreme feeling.

Tearing open the void, the Barbarian God tossed the bronze giant axe back in, then spoke, "The Ancestral Vein is below. Follow me."

Upon finishing his words, he took the lead and descended into the abyss.

Seeing this, Shen Changqing did not pause and followed closely behind him.

The fissure was deep. Since they were not tearing through space, it took the two of them roughly a quarter of an hour to reach a bottom area.

At this time, there was no darkness at the base of the abyss; only a faint golden light suffused the area, dispelling all darkness.

Shen Changqing focused his gaze on the source of the golden light and discovered that the object emitting it was as majestic as a mountain range, lying there quietly, coiled like a dormant horned dragon.

Sacred!

Majestic!

A powerful oppressive force emanated from the mountain range. Even with his current mental state, he couldn't help but be astonished upon sensing that pressure. In the presence of the mountain range, everything else seemed as insignificant as an ant.

When his Divine Sense landed upon the mountain range, Shen Changqing could faintly hear something akin to a dragon's roar, as well as a formidable heavenly might.

It's alive! This was his first reaction.

The Barbarian God's gaze also rested on the mountain range, his eyes filled with emotion and nostalgia. "This is the Ancestral Vein," he said, "the progenitor of all Spirit Veins in Heaven and Earth. All Spirit Veins are actually branches of the Ancestral Vein, existing by relying on its presence. The Ancestral Vein was not originally located here but stood towering above the land. In Ancient Times, the Ancestral Vein also had another name."

"What name?"

"Kunlun!" The Barbarian God uttered the two syllables. At his words, Shen Changqing's mind was shaken.

Kunlun! The Ancestral Vein... is actually named Kunlun! He couldn't help but think of his previous life, where there was also a place named Kunlun, along with a mythological legend.

However— Shen Changqing inwardly shook his head. It must be just a coincidence. This world and the mythological tales from my past life's memories are completely different; how could there be any connection between them? The name Kunlun is most likely a coincidence. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

While Shen Changqing was contemplating, the Barbarian God continued, "During a great war in Ancient Times, Kunlun shattered. The Ancestral Vein, the foremost of Heaven and Earth Spirit Veins, was consequently severed. To prevent the Ancestral Vein's Spiritual Energy from leaking, the Primordial Emperor then used his great Divine Skills to move Kunlun beneath the earth, thereby sealing it away."

Having said that, he pointed to a corner of the mountain range before them. "There lies the fracture point of Kunlun."

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing followed the direction of the Barbarian God's finger. He saw clear fissures in that part of the mountain range, as though it had been forcibly cleaved in two by some entity. What was once a complete mountain range was now severed into two sections.

His Divine Sense attempted to probe it. Instantly, his mind buzzed. The scene before his eyes vanished completely, replaced by a flash of sword light—an earth-shattering sword light that seemed capable of severing everything, including the Ancestral Vein that had stood for countless eons.

The sword light disappeared quickly. Shen Changqing let out a muffled grunt and involuntarily stepped back. When he looked at the fracture point of the Ancestral Vein again, his eyes were filled with horror.

Even with his strength, he had almost been unable to withstand the Sword Qi that had existed for an unknown number of millennia. Merely perceiving it with his Divine Sense had nearly caused a backlash.

If I were to face that sword light directly, even possessing the 'Near at Hand, Yet Worlds Apart' technique, I would have absolutely no chance of escape.

It was hard to imagine what kind of powerhouse could have unleashed such a devastating strike. Moreover, for that Sword Qi to persist for thousands, even tens of thousands of years, and still possess such formidable might, was astounding.

Seeing Shen Changqing suffer a setback, the Barbarian God shook his head slightly. "During Ancient Times," he explained, "a Divine King of the Demon Evil Clan descended and unleashed a sword strike towards Heaven and Earth, severing Kunlun, which had stood for countless ages. The Sword Qi you just sensed was left behind by that Divine King of the Demon Evil Clan."

Sword Qi left by a Divine King of the Demon Evil Clan... Shen Changqing's expression shifted rapidly.

He had never truly known just how powerful an expert at the Divine King Realm could be. Previously, upon reaching the second layer of the Cave Heaven Realm, he had felt confident that his strength was not inferior to that of a God Realm powerhouse, and he had wondered about the extent of the gap between himself and a Divine King. Now, after witnessing the Sword Qi at the fracture point of the Ancestral Vein, Shen Changqing understood completely.

A Divine King! An expert of this Realm... is definitely not someone I can currently contend with. That mere remnant of Sword Qi nearly damaged my spirit!

If a Divine King were to truly attack me, I would have absolutely no chance of survival.

The power of the Divine King Realm completely exceeded Shen Changqing's estimations.

The Barbarian God's expression was grave. "As one progresses in Realms," he said, "the gap between each subsequent Realm is like a vast chasm. Wanting to challenge those of a higher Realm is incredibly difficult, even for the most exceptionally talented individuals of a generation."
