"Divine Soul Tenth Stage!"

Shen Changqing's expression changed.

His originally ninth-stage Divine Soul had now grown to the tenth stage.

The surge in Divine Soul Power was fully double that of the ninth stage.

In the past, when his Divine Soul improved, each stage's increase was significant but not to the degree of doubling.

Now, however, the leap from the ninth to the tenth stage of the Divine Soul resulted in a power increase that doubled; this was quite an astonishing development.

However—

What truly made Shen Changqing take note was the sudden surge in Divine Soul Power.

My Divine Soul is founded on the True Intent of a hundred battles; plainly speaking, it's Blade Intent. So now, as I comprehend the Heaven and Earth Slash, my own understanding of the Blade Path has increased considerably. This also led to the explosive rise in Divine Soul Power. Indeed, the path of single-minded dedication is the most correct!

His eyes flickered.

From the surge in his Divine Soul, he could tell that he truly had been on the wrong path before.

If he had focused on Blade Path Divine Abilities from the beginning, his Divine Soul Power would have improved long ago. He would not have just entered the tenth stage now.

Of course, even stepping into it now wasn't too late.

The skyrocketing Divine Soul Power was already more than what he had gained from slaying a Great Demon.

Divine Soul Tenth Stage!

Divine Heaven Golden Body Tenth Stage!

With both the Divine Soul and Flesh reaching Perfection, his own Realm was considered to have officially entered the Grandmaster's Ultimate Peak. Any further breakthrough would bring him to a new level.

Grandmaster's Ultimate Peak!

With my current strength, no one below the Demon Saint should be able to stand against me.

But whether I can contend with a Demon Saint by using the Heaven and Earth Slash is still unknown!

Shen Changqing reflected silently.

The Heaven and Earth Slash was different from other Divine Skills. It was the only one he had fused three times.

From the memories he had acquired, this Divine Skill was already at the pinnacle among Divine Skills.

If he were to fuse it further, it would undoubtedly surpass the limits of Divine Skills.

That way, he would obtain an even more powerful method. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

However, he didn't intend to merge it further for now.

Firstly, he didn't have enough Slaughter Value. Secondly, a method that was too powerful might not necessarily be a good thing.

Every method has a standard for consumption.

With his current strength, using the Heaven and Earth Slash was already extremely demanding. If he were to obtain an even more powerful method, it would be merely for show.

A Divine Skill fused three times consumes over eight thousand Slaughter Value. If it were to be fused further, the consumed Slaughter Value would start at no less than ten thousand. For me right now, that's too much Slaughter Value.

Shen Changqing's consciousness withdrew from the panel and then focused on his own body.

After the Divine Soul reached the tenth stage, the Sea of Consciousness became even more stable and powerful. Furthermore, Divine Soul Power was spilling out from the Sea of Consciousness, seemingly wanting to merge with his Flesh.

Seeing this, a sudden realization rose in his heart.

This should be the path I am to follow next!

Divine Soul Perfection.

Flesh Perfection.

The next step was the fusion of the Divine Soul with the Flesh, to break through the barriers and advance to a new level.

Although he hadn't truly broken through yet, Shen Changqing already had a rough guess in his heart.

Divine Soul fusing with the Flesh.

He had seen this before.

In fact, Demon Evils were the result of the fusion of Divine Soul and Flesh. This is why some Demon Evils could survive even if their bodies were cut and split, as long as a part of the Divine Soul remained in their Flesh.

To truly kill a Demon Evil, one must destroy the Divine Soul within its Flesh to ensure its complete death.

Now, Shen Changqing felt that the path he needed to follow was somewhat similar to that of the Demon Evils.

Both involve the fusion of Divine Soul and Flesh. Both possess a certain degree of immortality.

In that case, the path followed by Demon Evils is actually the true path of the mighty. In comparison, the Destiny Sealing the Gods of Ancient Times, and even the Defender Envoys' path, all fall short. No, Defender Envoys should also be on this path. But they didn't cultivate it on their own; instead, they borrowed the power of Demon Evils to step onto this threshold. Subsequently, they relied on their own power to advance.

Shen Changqing thought of Destiny Sealing the Gods and the Defender Envoys once again.

Destiny Sealing the Gods is an unorthodox path. As for Defender Envoys, it could only be said to be a shortcut. But any shortcut comes at a corresponding price.

That's why becoming a Defender Envoy might bring a surge in power in a short period, but subsequent advancements are extremely challenging.

Plainly speaking, Defender Envoys took a shortcut and lacked a solid foundation. Unlike ordinary Martial Artists, they didn't progress step by step.

Initially, they seem powerful. But later, it's almost impossible for them to grow.

Consider this: despite Defender Envoys existing for more than three hundred years, no one comparable to a Demon Saint has emerged. This alone shows how difficult growth is.

As for Martial Artists, they simply suffer from a broken lineage of inheritance.

If there were a complete lineage, Martial Artists would definitely be more powerful than Defender Envoys.

「The next day.」

Shen Changqing came out of seclusion.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Dongfang Zhao sitting in the courtyard.

"Lord Defender, what brings you here today?" Shen Changqing asked, his face showing surprise.

The other party looked as though he had been sitting there for quite some time.

Upon hearing the question, Dongfang Zhao turned his head to look, his eyes revealing a trace of shock.

Just now, he had completely failed to detect Shen Changqing's approach.

Only when the other party spoke did he hear the sound.

Dongfang Zhao was confident that even powerful individuals at the same level couldn't get close to him without being detected.

In that case, this indicated that the person before him had surpassed his own strength.
