Human Clan Defender-Chapter 709 - s 61-64: The Third Layer of Divine Skills, Return to the Great Zhou Capital (Four-in-One, Seeking Monthly Votes)_5

There's no need for me to elaborate on this point.

With those words, Shen Changqing took a step and vanished from the walls of Fallen Saint Pass.

「The next instant」

He appeared before Zhou Pass.

Previously, when Great Qin attacked Great Zhou, Great Demons from the Demon Evil side had intervened, and the aftermath of their great battle had severely damaged Zhou Pass. However, looking at Zhou Pass now, there was no trace of warfare, nor any visible damage. It was as if Zhou Pass had never experienced war at all.

On the wall above, soldiers were stationed, each person expressionless, as if indifferent to everything. Below, the gates were wide open.

Shen Changqing walked slowly towards the gate. No soldiers intercepted him; only the people on the walls involuntarily turned their heads, focusing their gazes on him.

A multitude of eerie gazes fell upon him. Shen Changqing's face remained indifferent, seemingly unaware, as he continued forward.

Upon entering Zhou Pass, he clearly sensed a change in the surrounding space. A Domain! A hint of solemnity touched Shen Changqing's eyes.

From the moment I stepped into Zhou Pass, I entered the Calamity Domain. But there's one thing I can't be entirely sure about: is the Great Zhou Calamity's Domain confined to Zhou Pass, or has it already spread throughout the entire Great Zhou Domain?

Zhou Pass was vast, more magnificent than ordinary cities.

If it's the former, it proves this Calamity's strength has reached a certain level but isn't yet unsolvable. But if it's the latter, then it's a huge problem. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The expanse of the Domain largely determines a Calamity's strength. For instance, the Calamity in Qingjiang Prefecture had a Domain roughly the size of two cities, and its strength was comparable to a half-step Demon Saint. Of course, besides the Domain's breadth, its level of development also mattered. However, if the Great Zhou Calamity's Domain truly encompassed the vast Great Zhou Domain, then even if it were rudimentary, its strength could not be underestimated.

As Shen Changqing entered Zhou Pass, more and more people fixed their gazes on him. Gradually, a considerable number gathered around, each watching him with an eerie stare. The scene was terrifyingly quiet.

Ignoring them, Shen Changqing continued forward. The people originally blocking his way, upon seeing this, involuntarily parted to either side, creating a path. However, as he passed, those who had made way continued to watch him with the same strange eyes. They seemed to want to make a move but were also wary of something.

With an expressionless face, Shen Changqing left Zhou Pass without much effort and officially entered the territory of Great Zhou.

The Domain! I'm still within its range! This indirectly indicated that the Calamity's Domain wasn't merely confined to Zhou Pass.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Shen Changqing continued to delve deeper.

Along the way, he saw no more cities, nor did he encounter any creatures formed by illusions. It was as though, beyond Zhou Pass, the Great Zhou Domain was a vast wasteland.

This scene didn't surprise him. Not much time had passed since the obliteration of Great Zhou's living beings. The emergence of a Calamity with such a vast Domain was already quite shocking. If the Domain were also highly developed, that would be utterly unreasonable.

However, through the Domain's intensity, Shen Changqing could vaguely judge some of this Calamity's strength. It's not at the Demon God Realm, but it's definitely stronger than an ordinary Demon Saint.

This realization made him suck in a sharp breath of cold air.

It emerged as a Demon Saint. If it continues to grow, what Realm will it reach in the future? God Realm, or Divine King Realm?

Obviously, if this Calamity were given time, its growth into the God Realm was pretty much a certainty. Even ascending to the Divine King Realm was highly possible. The Calamity Domain is essentially the fledgling form of a Divine Kingdom and possesses significant advantages; advancing to the Divine King Realm is much easier for it than for others.

Now, if the Calamity Domain truly covered such a vast area as the Great Zhou Domain, such a Domain was already equivalent to a nation. With a Domain equivalent to a nation, would it be difficult for it to grow into a true Divine Kingdom?

Understanding the Calamity's strength, Shen Changqing had already made a decision in his heart. If this Calamity, like Mo Zijin, is dominated by its spiritual nature, then there's a chance for negotiation; it might even become an asset to the Human Clan in the future. But if resentment holds sway, I'll have to find a way to eliminate it!

The coming great calamity... If we could have such a terrifying Calamity as an ally, the Human Clan's foundation would undoubtedly be much stronger. However, a Calamity is a double-edged sword. If it cannot be an ally, it's destined to be a threat. With the Demon Evil disaster ahead and such a threat lurking behind, the Human Clan would know no peace.

Still, while those are my thoughts, whether I can actually eliminate it remains to be seen.

The Calamity Domain imposes restrictions. My Divine Skills will be somewhat affected, but the impact isn't actually that significant.

With each step, Shen Changqing traversed directly within the Domain.

Soon, he had fully penetrated the Great Zhou Domain.

Perhaps two hours had passed, or maybe only one hour.

Shen Changqing stopped.
