Human Clan Defender-Chapter 758 - s 91-92: Opening a Secret Treasure, One Person Equals a Nation (2 in 1, Asking for Monthly Votes)

Shen Changqing paused after leaving the Heaven and Earth Passage and looked towards the person next to him.

"There's something I do hope the Barbarian God can help me with," he said.

"What is it?"

Confusion crossed the Barbarian God's face. He couldn't think of anything that the other party would need his help with.

Shen Changqing said, "Last time, Your Excellency provided me with a drop of Divine Spirit Blood, which indeed could solve the Defender Envoys' problem. However, now that Great Qin has annexed Great Liang and Dayue, the original Defender Envoys of those two countries are still troubled by their lifespan. Therefore, I wish to obtain another drop of Divine Spirit Blood from Your Excellency to resolve this issue." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After speaking, he added, "Of course, I won't ask for it for free. Please state any conditions you may have. As long as I can fulfill them, I will not refuse."

If the Barbarian God had been an enemy, I wouldn't have wasted so many words and would have directly taken the Divine Spirit Blood by force. This battle has given me a clear understanding of my own strength: Immortal Golden Body Realm Perfection! My combat power is comparable to a powerhouse at the first level of the God Realm. In short, even if a true God Realm being appeared, I wouldn't necessarily be defeated immediately. In the current Heaven and Earth, there are no true God Realm beings. The only Barbarian God is still in a crippled state, retaining very little of his strength. Thus, I, Shen Changqing, can proudly say: In all of Heaven and Earth, who dares to claim invincibility, if not me?

Upon hearing this, the Barbarian God looked surprised. "With your current strength, although you haven't broken through to the God Realm, your foundation is so profound that it's not much weaker than that of a God Realm being. Your Qi and Blood Force must also possess its own might. As for the Defender Envoys, they have merely integrated with the power of Demon Evil. With your Qi and Blood Force, I believe neutralizing the power unique to Demon Evil should not be a problem."

It was only then that he realized what Shen Changqing was talking about. What the Barbarian God couldn't comprehend was why, if Shen Changqing could clearly do it himself, he still wanted him to shed his blood.

Shen Changqing opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

That's right! Divine Blood can resolve the hidden dangers of the Defender Envoys because Divine Blood is powerful enough to erode the negative effects brought by the power of Demon Evil. But if I seriously compared them, the blood in my own body might not be much weaker than Divine Blood. Moreover, Divine Spirits ultimately do not prioritize the flesh; they follow a belief system. By comparison, my own Qi and Blood are even more purely tempered. Logically speaking, if Divine Blood can solve the Defender Envoys' problem, there's no reason my own blood wouldn't work.

Reminded by the Barbarian God, Shen Changqing suddenly realized his oversight.

"You're right, I overlooked this," Shen Changqing said. "I will go back and try it first. If it doesn't work, then I'll ask for Your Excellency's help again. Would that be alright?"

"No problem." The Barbarian God smiled faintly. "I have some understanding of the Defender Envoys. I have always greatly admired such powerhouses who sacrifice themselves to protect the Human Clan."

"Very well, then I will take my leave now." Shen Changqing cupped his fists and then directly tore through space and left.

Seeing this, the Barbarian God also tore through space and vanished into it.

With the fall of five Half-Step Demon God-level Demon Evils, the blood clouds that had once covered the firmament suddenly dissipated. Immediately after, phenomena such as falling stars and accompanying rivers of fire also disappeared without a trace.

Inside the Imperial Palace, Gu Xing and a group of high officials, who had been holding an urgent court meeting, left the great hall immediately upon hearing the news of the phenomenon's disappearance. As they stepped outside to view the now-normal celestial scenery, everyone wore peculiar expressions.

"In the thirty-first year of Great Qin, the celestial phenomenon lasted for a full three days before disappearing. Why has it vanished so quickly now, in less than half a day?" Fu Yan remarked, his expression peculiar. If this was due to a Demon Evil's descent, the duration of the phenomenon is significantly different.

Thereafter, someone turned to Dongfang Zhao. "May I ask Defender Dongfang, is there any news from the Demon-Subduing Division?"

"Gentlemen, please wait a little longer. It shouldn't be long before news arrives," Dongfang Zhao replied, shaking his head slightly.

Even as he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the sky.

Others might not understand, but Dongfang Zhao knew very well. The appearance of the celestial phenomenon indeed signaled the arrival of Demon Evil. However, its current disappearance could only mean two things: one, the Demon Evil had arrived; or two, the Demon Evil had been exterminated. If it was the former, Great Qin would have to intensify its defenses. If it was the latter, the situation was not as dire as imagined. I just hope Defender Shen was successful! he sighed inwardly.

Once upon a time, I was the main pillar of Great Qin, personally repelling all powerful Demon Evil invasions. But now, things are completely different. Shen Changqing's meteoric rise has forcefully elevated the Human Clan's combat power. Even though I've advanced to the Saint Rank, I feel I haven't closed the gap with him much. Take this incident: when the Demon Evil arrived, he went alone to confront it, while I... I wasn't even qualified to participate in the battle. That is the disparity. The stark, naked disparity.

Dongfang Zhao lamented internally, The Saint Rank is ultimately too weak. I must break through further. Unfortunately, the path of a Defender Envoy has no predecessors to follow; I can only explore it on my own. Truly breaking through is far from easy. Forging a new path is countless times more difficult than following one laid by predecessors. That's just how it is.
