Human Clan Defender-Chapter 579 - s 299 to 300 Breakthrough Success? (Two in One, Ask for Monthly Pass)_2

But he was very clear this was just the beginning. The fusion of Martial Arts consumed more the further one progressed.

Without pausing for long, Shen Changqing once again settled his mind and started a new round of fusion.

...

Consumed eight hundred Slaughter Value. Thirty-two top-tier Grandmaster Martial Arts fused into sixteen Lower Quality Great Grandmaster Martial Arts.

...

Consumed eight hundred Slaughter Value. Sixteen Lower Quality Great Grandmaster Martial Arts fused into eight Superior Grade Great Grandmaster Martial Arts.

...

Eight Superior Grade Great Grandmaster Martial Arts! If he were to fuse once more, it would enter the stage of Divine Skills.

After a long while, he adjusted his state again and, with a slight movement of his thought, commanded, Fuse!

「RUMBLE!!」

Above Heavenly Gate Pass, the clear sky was suddenly rent with thunder, followed by more rolling thunder. Throughout the entire Heavenly Gate Pass, all the defending soldiers looked up at the Firmament. Some faces showed shock, others confusion—a plethora of different emotions.

Thunderous anomalies...

Dongfang Zhao looked at the scene of rolling thunder with an odd expression on his face. He had never seen such anomalies before. But, if they were mere rumors, he had certainly heard them many times.

According to rumors, only when Divine Skills emerge can they possibly cause Heaven and Earth to produce anomalies. It seems he is truly creating an extremely powerful Martial Art!

Looking in Shen Changqing's direction, Dongfang Zhao's eyes revealed a touch of shock.

Divine Skills. To someone at his level, they were no secret.

In fact, the Demon-Subduing Division possessed one such Divine Skill.

But that Divine Skill, unless one was the true Dominator, no one else was qualified to cultivate it. After all, ordinary Martial Arts were far too inferior compared to Divine Skills. Only a Dominator mastering one Divine Skill could qualify to suppress the contemporary world.

Therefore, many years ago, powerful experts from the Demon-Subduing Division had found a Divine Skill in the Ancient Ruins.

However, the Demon-Subduing Division only possessed that one Divine Skill.

As for the creation of Divine Skills, Dongfang Zhao had only read about it in texts, never truly witnessing it.

In the past, he had only thought that the thunder brought by the other party was due to the Heaven and Earth anomalies that each breakthrough after the Great Grandmaster Realm would inevitably cause.

But now it seemed things were not that simple. No sooner had Shen Changqing taken dozens of Martial Arts than these Heaven and Earth anomalies occurred.

The notion of Divine Skills was beyond any doubt.

Thinking of Shen Changqing's previous battle with the Great Demon, some of the powerful and strange methods he used were clearly not something ordinary Martial Arts could achieve.

How many Divine Skills does he possess, or are all those Divine Skills created by him? If that's the case, then his talent is countless times more terrifying than I had imagined!

Dongfang Zhao could not be sure if there were many Ancient Divine Abilities. But he was certain of one thing: the Divine Skills that existed in the world today were extremely rare.

Yet now, Shen Changqing alone possessed several Divine Skills.

Recalling the previous intelligence, Dongfang Zhao also thought of a fact that shocked even himself: the Divine Skills Shen Changqing possessed might not have come from the Ancient Ruins, but were created by his own power.

If his guess was not wrong, it would truly be a terrifying revelation.

Taking a few deep breaths, Dongfang Zhao's face once again showed a relieved smile.

It's good. The Demon-Subduing Division currently lacks such experts; not just the Demon-Subduing Division, but for the entire Human Clan, such experts are exceptionally rare. If he were to grow further, it would significantly alleviate the current situation.

His growing strength was a good thing.

Whether it was the Demon-Subduing Division, Great Qin, or even the entire Human Clan, all of them lacked truly top-notch experts.

What constituted a top-notch expert? In Dongfang Zhao's view, neither Defender Envoys of the Venerable Rank nor Great Demons counted as truly top-notch.

Only those who reached the Demon Saint Level, or even possessed the power to suppress a Demon Saint, could be considered top-notch.

He was very clear that he himself had little hope of reaching that step. It wasn't merely an issue of having enough time; even if he lived another ten or eight years, he would have little chance.

On the contrary, given the talent and strength Shen Changqing had shown, it was very possible for him to reach that step.

What followed was to see if he could continue to grow.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Zhao looked in another direction. That Emperor Qin... he probably also saw Shen Changqing's talent and thus changed some of his views, now considering him the future mainstay of Great Qin. The Emperor might not be entirely sincere. However, Great Qin has no choice.

「Great Zhou Capital ruins.」

The former Great Zhou Capital had been completely destroyed by the aftermath of the battle between the various parties. Now, only a field of ruins remained of the Great Zhou Capital.

Within the ruins, Wang Mubai and other Great Demons remained, not having left immediately.

In the center, a Blood Cocoon rested. Terrifying auras pulsed from it like waves, sweeping out in all directions with the Blood Cocoon as their epicenter.

Blood Essence!

Looking at the Blood Cocoon, Wang Mubai's gaze flickered. He, too, knew how to refine Blood Essence.

But what he hadn't expected was that the Ghost Saint had managed to tempt Mu Shentong into sacrificing all the people of Great Zhou.

At the beginning, Wang Mubai hadn't considered the Blood Essence aspect. After all, a Domain covering Great Zhou, with countless members of the Human Clan sacrificed—the disturbance was so vast that he had almost believed Mu Shentong had other plans.
