Human Clan Defender-Chapter 762 - The Seal of Bloodline, One More Saint Rank (2 in 1 for Monthly Votes)

There was no Heavenly Tribulation.

Nor were there any celestial phenomena of heaven and earth.

Shen Changqing only felt a power surging from the unseen depths, forcibly opening each secret chamber. The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, without any hindrance. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

As each secret chamber was opened, the potential within his flesh was also gradually unlocked.

Once the last secret chamber was successfully opened, the 14,400 secret chambers directly formed a complete cycle.

HUM—

His body trembled slightly.

It seemed as if some of his aura was about to leak out, but under the control of Shen Changqing's will, it was completely retracted before it could escape.

Opening his eyes, he calmed his mind and looked at his own panel.

"As expected!"

Although I have successfully broken through to the second layer of the Cave Heaven Realm, I have only just stepped into this level and am far from reaching Perfection. It seems there are no loopholes to exploit.

Shen Changqing felt somewhat regretful. If he could have directly reached the Perfection of the second layer of the Cave Heaven Realm, it would have saved a lot of trouble. Unfortunately, there were no loopholes.

Excluding the Heavenly Gate Secret he himself had opened, the number of secret chambers now unsealed in his flesh was precisely 14,400. This was considered the quantity for the Perfection of the first layer of the Cave Heaven Realm.

Adding the Heavenly Gate Secret, the total became 14,401.

This one additional secret chamber surpassed the limit of the first layer of Cave Heaven, thus he was now considered to be at the second layer.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Technique had also advanced to the second rank.

However, what truly astonished Shen Changqing was not the lack of any loopholes to exploit, but that the cost of upgrading the Heaven and Earth Profound Technique was far greater than he had anticipated.

From the first to the second rank, it actually consumed one hundred thousand Slaughter Value.

Back in the Immortal Golden Body Realm, one hundred thousand Slaughter Value could have raised him by many ranks. Now, it could only raise one rank.

Although he had first advanced to the first rank by his own efforts and then used Slaughter Value to reach the second rank, which on the surface seemed to save one hundred thousand Slaughter Value, in reality, there wasn't a significant difference.

Truthfully, there wasn't much difference between 14,400 secret chambers and 14,401 secret chambers—if that additional one hadn't been the Heavenly Gate Secret.

Five Half-Step Demon God level Demon Evils had barely yielded one hundred thousand Slaughter Value. Judging by the progression of one rank per tier, the subsequent Slaughter Value required would likely sum up to a million! Shen Changqing thought to himself.

A million Slaughter Value. From when I started until now, it was questionable whether all the Slaughter Value I had accumulated even reached three hundred thousand. A million. It was simply an astronomical figure. If I remained in this world, even if given several hundred years, it would be impossible to accumulate that much Slaughter Value. Unless there was an abundance of Demon Evils present.

Shen Changqing could only hope now that the Outer Heaven held more opportunities, allowing him to grow rapidly.

Otherwise, once the Seal Strength vanishes, the Human Clan will face considerable trouble.

Afterward, he redirected his attention back to himself.

As his consciousness delved inward, introspecting his flesh, he could perceive myriad points of light, each as brilliant as a star, shining brightly.

Each 'star' contained immense power. Furthermore, they were all interconnected, forming a complete cycle. Power flowed between them seamlessly, rendering the structure even more indomitable.

Shen Changqing knew very well that these 'stars' were, in fact, the secret chambers he had opened.

Secret chambers, like stars, each harbored boundless power within. Opening them was just the first step. As more such cycles were completed in the future, the power latent within them would be progressively developed.

And at the very center of his brow, between his eyebrows, resided a 'star' twice as large and far more brilliant than any other.

That was the Heavenly Gate Secret—the most important and powerful secret chamber in the human body.

「After a long moment.」

His mind withdrew from his flesh.

When the Heavenly Gate Secret was opened and I stepped into the first layer of the Cave Heaven Realm, my strength doubled compared to before. Subsequently, opening 14,400 secret chambers to form a perfect cycle doubled my strength once more. By this calculation, even though I've only just entered the second layer of the Cave Heaven Realm, my strength is already about four times what it was at the Perfection of the Immortal Golden Body Realm!

Shen Changqing's eyes were profound.

Four times! This is a truly terrifying figure. Before this breakthrough, I could easily annihilate a Half-Step Demon God using a first-rank Divine Skill. Now, even without using Divine Skills, crushing a Half-Step Demon God would likely take little effort. This is the true power after such a transformation.

Moreover, I am currently only at the second layer of the Cave Heaven Realm. If I reach the Perfection of the second layer of Cave Heaven and form another new cycle, my strength will double again from its current base. Converted, that would be eight times my strength at Immortal Golden Body Perfection.

With this calculation, Shen Changqing deeply understood just how vast the disparity became with each advancement in the realms beyond the Cave Heaven Realm.
