Chapter 1362 - 236: I Bear No Malice

Chapter 1362: Chapter 236: I Bear No Malice

It’s a pity.

All he can do now is just watch.

Although the Void Realm was a shield, Shen Changqing didn’t dare act recklessly.

If the Leize Divine Clan were to notice, and through such a link, deduce something, it would spell big trouble.

Not to mention the Leize Divine Clan.

Even if it’s other Half-Step Divine Kings or the origins of Divine Kings, he doesn’t want to use them just yet.

If he truly wanted to use them.

He must ensure there are no issues first.

Then.

Shen Changqing didn’t waste time and continued to wholeheartedly search for other Innate Divine Abilities.

——

Defender Holy Land!

Originally, it was just a Thunder Pit left by Shen Changqing crossing tribulation, but since he became the Defender of the Human Clan, more and more people have come here to comprehend the Dao Rhythms.

Not only that. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Some have officially named it Defender Holy Land.

The word ’Defender’.

Naturally refers to Shen Changqing.

Suddenly.

In the place where thunderous Dao Rhythms were most concentrated, the space suddenly trembled, as if something was trying to emerge from inside.

"What’s happening!"

The ones cultivating nearby were suddenly awakened.

Looking at the space trembling and twisting before them, they felt a sense of anxiety.

"Heavenly Realm!"

Jiang Zuo looking at the twisted space, a familiar scene, he immediately reacted.

Heavenly Realm!

Unexpectedly, another Heavenly Realm was emerging, and within the range of the Capital City.

Thinking of the news from the Demon-Subduing Division, Jiang Zuo immediately shouted loudly: "Transmit orders from the Demon-Subduing Division, everyone immediately leave the Defender Holy Land, no mistakes allowed!"

While speaking.

He rose into the air, unleashing his powerful Heaven Being aura.

The aura swept over, pressing upon everyone’s hearts.

Especially the words ’Demon-Subduing Division’, which caused a shock in everyone’s heart.

Established by the Imperial Court.

The authority of the Demon-Subduing Division hasn’t weakened even a bit, and has only grown stronger.

After all, the current Dominator of the Demon-Subduing Division is Bai Emperor Dongfang Zhao, who controls the Western State Domain. Additionally, the Defender of Human Clan Shen Changqing, although no longer officially part of the Demon-Subduing Division, clearly stands with them.

Looking across the world.

Who dares to oppose the Demon-Subduing Division?

So after hearing Jiang Zuo’s words, many people withdrew from the Holy Land’s range.

Yet some didn’t retreat, instead they asked bewildered: "May I ask Defender Jiang, what exactly has happened?"

They naturally recognized Jiang Zuo.

One of the few Heaven Being level experts in the Demon-Subduing Division, now a noble Defender Envoy, his status is extraordinary.

"You need not concern yourselves with what’s happening. If you don’t leave now, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to leave later!"

Jiang Zuo had a cold expression.

The person who spoke, although unwilling in their heart, had no choice but to turn and leave.

Seeing everyone leaving.

He promptly used the Messaging Jade Token to relay the message back to the Demon-Subduing Division.

Although the Messaging Jade Token of the Demon-Subduing Division is just at an entry-level stage, transmitting from here to the Capital City isn’t an issue.

Just as Jiang Zuo was transmitting, a figure appeared in his sight.

"Defender Shen!"

His expression changed first, then he bowed in greeting.

Shen Changqing looked at the twisted space before him, after a moment, he withdrew his gaze and focused on the other person: "Brother Jiang, please leave first, don’t let anyone come near this place."

"Alright!"

Jiang Zuo didn’t question, but directly turned and left.

Seeing this.

Shen Changqing refocused on the twisted space in front of him, his brows furrowed tightly.

He originally thought.

After he annihilated Gong Xuantian’s flesh, the Central Profound Realm could be quiet for a while.

After all, the strength he displayed, compared to the current comprehensive strength of the Central Profound Realm, should have a deterrent effect.

But now.

The Heavenly Realm had appeared again.

And the place where the Heavenly Realm appeared was within the Capital City range, which was quite tricky.

If a battle ensues.

It might even affect the Capital City.

Moreover, Shen Changqing also realized an overlooked issue.

Which is the emergence of a single Heavenly Realm, he can still fend off, but if the experts from the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces come from different forbidden grounds, what would he do?

"Troublesome!"

Shen Changqing sighed helplessly.

Simply put, the Imperial Court’s strength is too weak, apart from himself, there’s no one capable of balancing the power of the Central Profound Realm. Otherwise why would they be led on by the Central Profound Realm?

The only thing to do now is to fight—fight until the Central Profound Realm becomes apprehensive and fearful, which would avoid many troubles. Passive defense alone could only embolden them."/>

Thinking of this, Shen Changqing’s eyes turned cold.

Passive defense clearly isn’t viable anymore.

Since passive defense is not feasible, then proactive offense is the only option.

Otherwise.

Relying on him alone, he’s basically spread too thin.

If the people of the Central Profound Realm keep emerging from various forbidden grounds, he won’t tire to death, but he’ll be continually dragged down with no way to cultivate in peace.

Thinking about this, Shen Changqing immediately had a thought.

Before long.

A green light shot from afar.

When it arrived in front of him, it manifested into the figure of Qingyi.

"What is your need, Supreme?"

"People from the Central Profound Realm are coming, today I might need to borrow your strength."

Shen Changqing said.

Last time, without Qingyi on my side, I suffered from the Heavenly Dao Seal’s downside, otherwise, Gong Xuantian would have fallen right there.

This time.

I am going to be entirely prepared.

No matter who emerges, if I don’t shatter their Divine Kingdom today, I will write Shen Changqing backwards.

At these words.

Qingyi said nothing, and directly revealed his true form: a green robe.

Subsequently, Shen Changqing donned the green robe.

...

Time flowed by.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

A mighty purple aura appeared, and the space before us transformed into a white vortex.

Shen Changqing directly drew out the Holy Slaying Saber, his entire presence reached its peak, and he controlled all the laws, merging them entirely into the Annihilation Blade Path Law.

At that moment.

The Annihilation Blade Path Law climbed to an unprecedented pinnacle, even breaking through the limits of law, directly reaching the level of rules.

Buzz——

The Rule Long River surged, spanning across the void.

It was at this moment.

A figure emerged from the white vortex.

"Die!"

Shen Changqing stepped forward, the Holy Slaying Saber carried the full force, striking fiercely towards that silhouette.

"I mean no harm..."

Gong Xuantian had just stepped out from the Central Profound Realm, before he could take a clear look at the surroundings, his vision was filled with a destructive blade gang.

A shadow of death flooded his heart, making him swallow the words he was just about to say.

Boom——

Space shattered.

Like a terrifying black hole, devouring everything around.

Shen Changqing took a step forward, wielding his saber towards the shattered space, behind that space was evidently a white vortex leading to the Central Profound Realm.

...

In the forbidden land.

The blade scars ripping through the earth seemed to have existed for countless ages, and at the end of the scars lay a broken body weakly, its chest slightly rising and falling, proving it was not completely dead.

At this moment, Gong Xuantian lay on the ground, eyes vacant as he looked heavenward.

Who am I?

Where did I come from?

What should I do?

That strike from Shen Changqing had directly shattered all his thoughts.

Hard to imagine.

In the last battle, the two were evenly matched.

This time.

He was severely injured by the other at first sight.

If it weren’t for the crucial moment, activating several body-protecting Dao Arms, he wouldn’t be lying on the ground now, but would be reborn within the Divine Kingdom.

Upon entering the Central Profound Realm.

Shen Changqing also saw Gong Xuantian lying there, barely clinging to life, his gaze icy cold to the extreme: "It’s you again, you really thought you were strong after escaping last time, huh?"

As he spoke.

A terrible killing intent arose, completely enveloping the opponent.

This time.

He intended to completely slay Gong Xuantian.

With Qingyi’s protection, even Heavenly Dao Sect’s Zhen Sect Dao Soldier couldn’t stop him.

Seeing Shen Changqing about to strike, Gong Xuantian barely recovered some primordial energy and hurriedly spoke: "Wait, wait a moment, I’m not here to be your enemy, but to negotiate peace!"

"Negotiating peace?"

Shen Changqing raised an eyebrow, his face was cold but his actions evidently paused.

He wanted to hear what exactly Gong Xuantian’s intention was.

Not long ago.

This one had been slain physically, yet now dared to appear before him again.

Seeing Shen Changqing not immediately strike, Gong Xuantian inwardly sighed with relief.

He wasn’t afraid to die.

But being reborn within the Divine Kingdom once, costs hundreds to thousands of years of accumulation, the impact was tremendous.

At his current state, each loss diminishes his chance of advancing to Divine Lord.

The fumes of divine power.

Drove out the residual sword qi from his body.

The shattered flesh began to recover visibly, in just a few breaths, Gong Xuantian appeared to be completely restored.

With a leap.

He stood up from the ground.

When looking at Shen Changqing again, his eyes were filled with dread.

Too strong!

Gong Xuantian even suspected the other hadn’t used full strength last time. If they had, he probably wouldn’t have lasted that long before admitting defeat.

Initially, he had doubts if Shen Changqing could stand against Slaughter Immortal God.

But now it seemed the other was entirely not inferior to Slaughter Immortal God.

Potentially even──

Might be more powerful than Slaughter Immortal God.

Taking a deep breath.

Gong Xuantian slightly calmed his heart, and then slowly spoke: "This time I come not with ill intent, but to offer peace. Yet here is hardly suitable for negotiation, I wonder if you would be willing to visit the Heavenly Dao Sect?"

"Heavenly Dao Sect is unnecessary, I have a tight schedule. If you really want to talk, then come to the Imperial Court."

Shen Changqing didn’t want to waste time here, if the Heavenly Dao Sect planned on luring him away, that would be troublesome.

At these words.

Gong Xuantian hesitated briefly, then nodded in agreement.

"Alright, since you earnestly invite, then I shall follow you to the Imperial Court, so to demonstrate Heavenly Dao Sect’s sincerity."

Wherever the discussion took place it was the same, he wasn’t afraid Shen Changqing would eat him.

After all, despite Shen Changqing’s displayed strength, he wasn’t without a few means himself.

Earlier, he was severely injured because he hadn’t reacted in time.
