Human Clan Defender-Chapter 596 - s The New Emperor Ascends to the Throne, Annihilation Rule (Four-in-One, Request for Monthly Tickets)

「The next day.」

The Capital City was immersed in a mood of profound sorrow. The Saint Emperor had passed away, and the whole nation mourned. Now, the Imperial Family not only had to handle the funeral affairs but also prepare for the enthronement. There was a will; with Gu Xing ascending the throne, there was no longer any dissent. Even if some descendants of the Imperial Family were dissatisfied, they were powerless to change anything. However, none of this had much impact on Shen Changqing. No matter who became Emperor, his status as the Great Qin Defender would not change. Moreover, with his current strength, there was no one in the Human Clan who could pose a threat to him.

Immortal Golden Body!

He was a powerhouse at the Demon Saint level. With the Heaven and Earth Slash Divine Skill at his disposal, Shen Changqing was confident in fighting even a resurrected Ghost Saint without Gu Xuanji's assistance.

Among the nations, Great Qin and Great Zhou were originally the strongest. If Great Zhou were to fall and Gu Xuanji of Great Qin also perished, then, not counting himself, Great Qin's strength would no longer be particularly formidable. As for Great Liang and Dayue, they were even less of a match. Given this premise, his confidence was not unfounded.

Right, Tiankui is currently in South Nether Prefecture. It's time to bring that Fierce Beast back; it serves no purpose staying there, Shen Changqing suddenly remembered his mount. Since mastering Shrinking Earth into Inches and Dusk Cangwu, he had hardly taken the Fierce Beast out. To this day, it still remained in South Nether Prefecture.

Although it was said that the Chixiao Clan's limit was Grandmaster Peak, Shen Changqing always believed that no peak was truly the ultimate peak. It's just that no one before managed it. With my current foundation, perhaps I could cultivate an unprecedented Chixiao. If it could grow, it might prove useful in the future.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Shen Changqing. His palm opened, a fingertip split, and a drop of golden blood flowed from the wound, falling to the ground. Instantaneously, the blood surged, absorbing the surrounding nature's spiritual energy, and directly manifested an avatar.

"Go, bring Tiankui back," Shen Changqing said indifferently, looking at the avatar before him.

Upon hearing this, the avatar nodded and soared into the sky, heading straight for South Nether Prefecture. As an avatar, although it possessed a faint fragment of a Divine Soul, it had not completely inherited the main body's Divine Skills. Therefore, it could not use Divine Skills to travel to South Nether Prefecture. Additionally, the power contained within the avatar was limited, far from enough to utilize Divine Skills.

Watching the avatar cleave through the air and depart, Shen Changqing withdrew his gaze. He was not worried that the avatar would encounter any problems. After ascending to the Immortal Golden Body Realm, his qi and blood had undergone a further transformation, reaching an incredibly terrifying state. Throughout his body, there were a total of eighteen thousand drops of blood. Each drop of blood possessed strength equivalent to that of a lower-tier Demon Evil. At the same time, the amount of Essence Blood had condensed to eighteen drops, and an avatar formed from each drop of Essence Blood possessed strength equivalent to a Great Demon just starting out.

This— This is Shen Changqing's current strength. With eighteen thousand avatars equivalent to lower-tier Demon Evils, plus eighteen comparable to Great Demons, sweeping through the nations would likely pose no problem at all.

Nevertheless, he would not actually separate all his blood to form avatars. Because his Flesh and Divine Soul were now merged, every drop of blood was inestimably precious. If he were to lose any, it would take a long time to recuperate.

Speaking of which, I am still the Martial Hall Master; it has been quite a long time since I last visited the Martial Hall, Shen Changqing remembered another of his identities and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile. He was called the Martial Hall Master, but in truth, he merely held the title. Up to this point, he had not even met many people from the Martial Hall.

Now that the affairs in Luo'an Prefecture were concluded and the Martial Hall members who went to support Luo'an Prefecture had most likely returned, it was time for him, the Martial Hall Master, to meet them.

Having made his decision, Shen Changqing rose from the small courtyard and walked outside. Suddenly, he paused, his gaze turning toward the tall spire.

The Demon Sealing Tower!

Inside, many Demon Evils were sealed.

Speaking of which, I should find an opportunity to take all the Demon Evils from the Demon Sealing Tower. Now that I am the Great Qin Defender, some rules should no longer apply to me. Moreover, the true purpose of the Demon Evils in the Demon Sealing Tower is to cultivate Defenders and to allow the Hidden Heart Pavilion to research some characteristics of Demon Evils. If the Human Clan no longer needs Defenders, and there's no need to study the traits of Demon Evils, then the Demon Evils in the Demon Sealing Tower become rather pointless, don't they! Shen Changqing's eyes flickered.

Why did the Human Clan want to cultivate Defenders? Why did they study Demon Evil? Plainly put, it was because the Human Clan was too weak, and Demon Evil was too strong. If the weak wish to contend with the strong, they must study the characteristics of the strong and find their weaknesses. Additionally, the weak can also act like thieves, stealing the power of the strong to use against them. If the Human Clan is no longer weak in the face of Demon Evil, then the utility of Demon Evil to the Human Clan will be greatly diminished.

In fact, the Human Clan shouldn't be weaker than Demon Evil. The inability to contend with Demon Evil is due to the incomplete legacy of the Human Clan Martial Dao, limiting the strongest to the Grandmaster Ultimate Summit. To break through further is like a pipe dream. Because of this, the Human Clan is at a disadvantage when facing Demon Evil.
