The sky above Tiamen Pass is clear.

Thunder rumbles incessantly, day and night.

Three days' time.

There is no sign that the thunder will stop.

In the past, Dongfang Zhao had only heard about this matter in Tiancha Wei's intelligence reports. Now, he was seeing it with his own eyes for the first time.

The vision lasted for three days, which also surprised him.

"Could it be that every time a divine power appears, there will be such a long period of strange phenomena in the world?"

The Eastern Emperor was perplexed.

He had never seen anyone create divine powers, so he didn't know how long the divine visions would last.

Suddenly.

A faint sound came down from the heavens.

The sound grew from a whisper to a loud roar.

Clang!

A resounding clang of steel!

Inside Tianguan Pass, the weapons in everyone's hands trembled violently uncontrollably, as if they had sensed some kind of summoning.

"What a powerful sword intent!"

The expression on Dongfang Zhao's face suddenly changed.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

In the clang of swords, he clearly felt a terrifying blade intent.

Matchless!

Overbearing!

Among all the sword masters he had ever seen, none of their sword intents could compare to the one before him.

It's not even comparable.

But the gap between them is like the chasm of heaven and earth.

Dongfang Zhao could be 100% certain that this sword intent was definitely unparalleled in the world.

Push forward three thousand years.

No one can reach that level.

That's all there is to it.

Too strong.

Although he didn't truly witness the power of divine abilities, just from this blade intent alone, he already understood how powerful this divine ability about to be born was.

or so.

This miraculous skill is now officially unveiled.

The sound of the sword went from a low hum to a clear, ringing cry that echoed through the Heavenly Gate Pass, and finally back down to a low rumble before fading away.

In the room.

Shen Changqing opened his eyes, and the emptiness before him suddenly exploded.

The terrifying power choked and pulverized all the furniture in the room into dust.

He didn't pay attention to the unexpected turn of events, but instead calmed his mind.

Name: Shen Changqing Power: Great Qin Demon Suppression DivisionIdentity: Nan You Mansion WardenRealm: GrandmasterDivine Soul: Divine Soul (Nineth Stage)

Body: Shenxiao Golden Body (Tier 10)

Martial Arts: Zhuxie Jiemie Finger (Divine Ability Level 2), Mu Cangwu (Divine Ability Level 1), Heaven and Earth One Sword Slash (Not yet entered, can be improved)

Slaughter: 12

Ability: 176

More than 8,000 kill points were almost completely consumed.

For a moment.

Shen Changqing almost thought he had returned to the very beginning.

At that time, the killing value was fluctuating between single digits and two-digit numbers starting with one. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

However.

The consumption of kill values is still within his tolerance range.

What truly mattered to him was the new divine power that emerged from the fusion.

Heaven and earth cleaved by a single blade!

In just five simple words, there lies an unparalleled domineering aura.

It's a pity that this magical skill has no way to enter, which made Shen Changqing slightly regretful.

Thankfully, there were some Divine Power Points left, just enough to allow a new Divine Ability to be learned.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! ?

This is also why.

His reason for going to merge with the new divine abilities.

If Shen Changqing didn't have divine power, he wouldn't dare to take this risk.

Here is the translation of the content within the provided HTML tags:

After all, probabilistic things largely depend on luck.

>

If all the kill values are exhausted and a technique that is impossible to learn at the entry level is fused, then things will get interesting.

A thought flickered.

Divine power has been reduced to seventy-six points.

...in an instant.

He then felt his mind and spirit being drawn by an inexplicable force.

The scene changes.

Darkness!

Ultimate darkness!

Just as Shen Changqing was at a loss, suddenly a glimmer of light rose from the black glow.

Where the light shines, darkness flees.

His mind fell upon the radiance, and he felt a domineering and unparalleled intention.

That was——

Sword intent!

The purest blade intent imaginable!

This is not a ray of light, but a blade that cleaves through the dark sky.

Shen Changqing's mind was captivated by the blade light, as if he had become one with it.

He slashed through layer upon layer of darkness, everything that stood in his path dissolving before his blade.

>

Boom!

Darkness receded, revealing a desolate and empty expanse.

Finally.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Heaven and earth shattered.

...was torn apart by the sword light.

The vast world was suddenly split in two, mountains crumbled and rivers ran dry in an instant. The world that had been gradually fading away now completely vanished.

Hum——

in the sea of knowledge.

A terrifying blade intent rose from the short person.

Beneath sat lotus flowers swaying, their petals stained with the most intense blade energy.

Only a figure ten inches tall, after absorbing the sword intent, directly broke through the limit of ten inches, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Eleven inches.

Twelve inches.

nineteen inches.

Twenty inches!

The little person, as if breaking through a barrier, grew with ease after surpassing the ten-inch limit.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

It didn't stop growing until it reached twenty inches.

Powerful divine soul power, like a sharp blade's intent, suppresses the sea of consciousness.

And.

That power even transcended the confines of the sea of consciousness, gradually merging with the qi and blood of the physical body.

When Shen Changqing's mind withdrew from the illusory realm, he immediately felt a surge of spiritual power and his spirit reached a peak he had never experienced before.

Calm down.

Look back at the panel again.

In contrast, the spirit and soul reached an unprecedented peak.

Name: Shen ChangqingPower: Great Qin Town Demon DivisionIdentity: Southern Yin Mansion WardenRealm: GrandmasterSoul: Divine Soul (Tenth Rank)

Physical body: Divine Lightning Golden Body (Rank 10)

Martial Arts: Annihilating Demon Silencing Finger (Divine Ability Second Level), Twilight Azure Wood (Divine Ability First Level), Heaven and Earth One Sword Slash (Divine Ability First Level)

Killings: 12

Ability: 76

"Divine Soul Tenth Rank!"

Shen Changqing's expression changed.

The original nine-tiered soul has now grown to the tenth tier.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! ?

The surging divine power was completely equivalent to ninefold.

In the past, when a soul ascended, each level increase was significant, but it wasn't doubled.

Now.

The leap from the ninth to tenth level of soul power is an exaggeration, as it directly doubles one's strength.

But—

What truly mattered to Shen Changqing was the sudden surge in his soul power.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"My soul is based on the true intent of a hundred battles, to put it simply, it's sword intent. So now I'm comprehending Heaven and Earth One Sword Slash, which has greatly deepened my understanding of the sword way, leading to a surge in my soul power."

As expected, the path that is consistent from beginning to end is the most correct!

>

His eyes flickered.

From the surging soul, one can see that one truly took a wrong path before.

If one had focused on swordsmanship techniques from the beginning, their soul power would have already been significantly enhanced, and they wouldn't be just entering the tenth level now.

Of course.

Even if you enter now, it's not too late.

That surge of divine power was already more than killing a demon lord.

Soul Realm Stage Ten!

Divine Thunder Golden Body, Tenth Stage!

When both the spirit and flesh are perfected, one's realm is considered to have officially stepped onto the peak of Grandmaster. Beyond that, any further breakthroughs would be a new level altogether.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Grandmaster Pinnacle!"

"With my current strength, I should be able to withstand anyone below the level of a Demon Saint."

"But whether it could deal with a demon saint by using Heaven and Earth Slash remains to be seen!"

Shen Changqing pondered to himself.

The

Heaven and Earth Slash is unlike any other divine ability. It is the only one on his body that has been fused three times.

Judging from the retrieved memory.

This divine ability is already at the top level among divine abilities.

If we continue to integrate, it will inevitably transcend the boundaries of divine powers.

That way, one could obtain a more powerful means.

But.

He doesn't have any further thoughts on merging at the moment.

The first is that the killing value is not enough, and the second is that overly powerful means are not necessarily good.

>

Any means.

This is the beginning of a paragraph. Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

All of them have a consumption standard.

With its current power, it's extremely difficult to unleash the Heaven and Earth Slash. If it had access to even greater powers, it would be effortless.

>

“The power of the three fusions consumes over eight thousand killing points. If you want to fuse further, it will cost at least ten thousand killing points.”

"Right now, the kill count is just too high for me."

Shen Changqing's mind withdrew from the panel and fell onto his own body.

After the tenth level of the soul.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

The sea of consciousness has become more solid and powerful.

>Additionally.

... Then there was the divine soul force that spread out from the sea of consciousness, as if it were merging with the physical body.

Have you seen this?

Suddenly, a glimmer of understanding dawned on him.

"This must be the road I'm going to walk on next!"

The soul is complete.

His physical body is complete.

Further, it is the merging of the soul and the physical body, breaking through barriers and reaching a new level.

Although there hasn't been a real breakthrough yet, Shen Changqing has a general guess in his mind.

Spirit and flesh are unified. Please note that the context "<<<

" tag. If you provide me with the full sentence or paragraph, I can give you a more accurate and helpful translation.

This is not the first time he has seen it.

>

In fact.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Demons are formed when the soul and body merge. Therefore, even if a demon's physical body is cut or split, as long as a part of its soul remains in the flesh, it can guarantee that the flesh will not die.

To slay demons, one must destroy their souls within their physical bodies, only then can they be utterly eradicated.

Now.

Chen Changqing felt that the path he was about to take behind him was similar to that of demons.

Similarly, it is the fusion of soul and flesh.

It also possesses a certain degree of immortality.

>

“Therefore, the path taken by demons and monsters is actually the true path of a strong individual. The ancient era's Qi Yun sealing gods, and even the words of the guardian deities, pale in comparison to this path.”

No, the Commander should also take this road.

But they did not cultivate it themselves, but borrowed the power of demons to step over this threshold.

After that, it's about relying on your own strength to progress.

Shen Changqing once again thought of Qi Yun Fengshen and the town guards.

Qi Yun Feng Shen is a heresy.

The governor's words can only be described as taking a shortcut.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But any shortcut comes at a price.

That's why.

Becoming a Town Guardian allows for a short-term surge in power, but subsequent improvements are extremely difficult.

To put it simply.

The military governor took shortcuts and lacked a solid foundation, unlike ordinary martial artists who steadily honed their skills.

At first glance, it seems impressive.

In the later stages, it is almost impossible to grow.

Haven't you seen that over three hundred years, no one guarding the city has been as powerful as the Monster Saint? That should make it clear how difficult growth is.

As for the warriors, it's simply because the lineage ahead has been broken.

It's truly a perfect transmission.

A warrior is bound to be stronger than a garrison commander.

The next day.

Shen Changqing left the customs.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Dong Fangzhi sitting in the courtyard.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

"Lord Protector, what brings you here today?"

Shen Changqing's expression was astonished.

The other party looked like they had been sitting for a while.

Upon hearing this, the Eastern Emperor couldn't help but turn his head and look. A hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

Just now.

He was completely oblivious to Shen Changqing's arrival.

Only when the other party speaks can one hear the sound.

Eastern Command was confident that even an opponent of equal strength couldn't get close without him noticing.

That's all then.

This clearly shows that the strength of the person in front of me has already surpassed mine.

"It seems Shen Zhenghou has quite a harvest this time!"

He was a little shocked, and also sentimental.

Although Dongfang Zhao had long thought that the other party would surpass him one day.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

But he didn't expect it.

This day will come so quickly.

Without a physical confrontation, simply based on what just happened, it's already possible to tell who is superior.

I can't help but feel a little sentimental.

He was mostly filled with joy.

The stronger Shen Changqing became, the more evident it was that the Demon Suppression Division had successors.

Even if he died, the Demon Suppression Division wouldn't fall apart.

"There are some gains, thanks to the Lord Protector for bestowing martial arts here."

>

Chen Changqing smiled modestly.

Next, he changed the subject again.

What is the current situation at Tianmen Pass?

Speaking of this matter.

Dongfang Zhao's smile and relaxed expression vanished. "Your Majesty hasn't appeared for several days, causing unrest among the court. Many have already speculated about what's going on."

Although the news wasn't spread, those demons would surely know about it.

>Next.

It all depends on whether the demon saint bites.

Gu Xuanji feigned death.

The goal is to make the Demon Saint take the bait.

If the Saint of Demons does not come, then faking death will be meaningless. Please note: I've removed the unnecessary "<<<<<<" and ">>>>" from your input. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

At the same time.

This is a test.

Seven days have passed, and in half a month, Gu Xuanji's lifespan will be completely depleted.

By that time.

The Demon Saint has returned, but it is too late for everything.

Shen Changqing frowned: "If I were the Demon Saint, I'm afraid I wouldn't take action easily. I would wait until things were completely certain before possibly attacking the Great Qin."

He had always felt that Gu Xuanji's approach was rather risky.

As a general rule.

If the Demon Saint truly feared the other party, he wouldn't dare take such a risk.

Unless.

That demonic saint truly hated Gu Xuanji to a certain extent, that upon receiving even a slight bit of news, he couldn't wait to take action.

"In the Imperial City's Seal Demon Tower, there's a sealed remains of a demon saint. I assume you're aware of that, aren't you?"

"Hmm."

Shen Changqing nodded.

This is the translated text:

Immediately, he thought of something.

"The lord commander is saying that the demon saint's remains came from a ghost saint?"

"Not bad."

The Eastern Emperor nodded in agreement.

A hundred years ago, the Ghost Saint invaded the Qin Dynasty. At that time, he was arrogant and dismissive of my great Qin. After entering the Qin, he went straight to the capital, intending to carry out a beheading plan.

However, the Ghost Saint was intercepted by Your Majesty when he was in the capital and severely injured by the heavy national fortune of the Qin Dynasty.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

After that, I waited for the demon-slaying officials to make their move. They cut off a part of its body and sealed it in the Demon Sealing Tower.

That is why the Ghost Saint has not appeared for a hundred years.

Severed the body.

This is equivalent to permanently losing that portion of strength.

Over a hundred years, whether the other party can recover is a question.

The same.

That kind of hatred, the Ghost Saint definitely won't let it go easily.

Gu Xuan's confidence stemmed from the opponent's hatred for him and Qin.

"I have a feeling that the Heavenly Gate will not be long before there is a great battle!"

Dongfang Zhao stood up, his face full of melancholy.

And so the great war began.

This time, neither he nor Shen Changqing was the protagonist.

Only Gu Xuanji and the Ghost Saint are the protagonists of this battle.

Whatever the outcome.

Then, the truth will become clear.

Shen Changqing's heart understood: "What are Yan Jing and the others planning now?"

Here's the translation, keeping only the text and the HTML tags: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

They don't know the full truth yet, and some things don't need to be widely known. They've already sent word back, and once the capital is ready, they will transport the body back.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Here, it will also take some time, don't worry too much about it for now.

<<<　The Eastern Emperor shook his head.

This is an example of how to translate text within HTML tags. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Then, he turned his gaze to Shen Changqing.

"Shen Zhen, take good care of yourself. If something goes wrong in the next battle, it will be our time to step up."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

The ancient mysteries are defeated.

The strongest in the Qin Dynasty were himself and Shen Changqing.

By that time.

There was no choice but to fight to the death.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing's face was calm. "I understand."

Two more days have passed.

All was peaceful within Tianmen Pass.

On the city wall, Shen Changqing sat alone, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Zhou Dynasty.

There, one could still see the outline of Zhou Yuguan.

Alas, now that the Zhou Dynasty has fallen and Zhou Yu Guan has been utterly abandoned.

Looking there.

His thoughts were drifting.

"If the ancient mechanisms fail, then only I and Dongfang Zhao will be left!"

To be honest, Shen Changqing had once thought that if the Qin Dynasty collapsed, he could escape with his own strength. After all, even though the Demon Saint was powerful, it wouldn't be a problem for him to survive using his own means.

Well, we've really come to this point.

But he discovered.

It seems like I've really run out of options.

Where else can I go?

Here is the translation:

Though heaven and earth are vast, they ultimately have limits.

Through several transmissions of divine powers, that illusory realm, although he didn't know whether it was true or false, gave him some different insights in his heart.

Perhaps.

Here's the translated content, keeping the HTML tags: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

If such powerful beings truly exist, they could destroy heaven and earth with a mere flick of their wrist.

Even if we escaped back then, where could we run to?

And—

Shen Changqing looked at Zhou Yu Guan ahead, feeling the silence there.

"If the human race were truly to be extinguished, even if I were the only one left alive, I'm afraid I would feel endless loneliness!"

Loneliness!

That was something terrible.

This is a simple sentence.

The destruction of the Zhou Dynasty made him feel as if he were seeing the future fate of humanity.

Demons can destroy a Great Zhou, and they are capable of destroying the entire human race.

If the human race were to be exterminated.

Then, what is the meaning of living one's own life?

Just like the pursuit of immortality, if the end of immortality is eternal emptiness, it seems to be meaningless.

Perhaps—

Here is the English translation of your text:>

“I shouldn't quit again!”

Shen Changqing pondered.

He had some insights.

Commander!

Three words have already said a lot.

>

... even possessing the mission of suppressing demons and protecting the human race.

These emotions, which Shen Changqing had previously considered unnecessary, now seem essential upon reflection. For it is precisely because of these emotions that one can be called a human being.

If it's gone.

What's the difference between that and zombies?

It was like the corpses of the Zhou Dynasty, devoid of emotion and only knowing how to kill. They had no meaning in existence whatsoever.

Then wait for the results.

It wasn't what he wanted.

"Whew!"

Shen Changqing let out a breath, his heart gradually becoming firm.

At once.

>

He closed his eyes and meditated, becoming one with heaven and earth, indistinguishable from them.

The ruins of the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.

The Ghost Saint is listening to the Everlasting Alliance's report.

"My Lord, it has been almost ten days since we last saw Gu Xuanji. However, someone delivers food to his chamber every day. I suspect that Gu Xuanji may not be dead."

The martial emperor bowed his head and clasped his fists.

When he finished speaking, a sinister smile spread across the Ghost Saint's face.

"No, such a clumsy attempt to cover things up only makes this holy one more certain that Gu Xuanji has truly fallen."

He dared not give anything away, for fear that the sage would find out.

Now within the vast Qin Empire, besides himself, who else could possibly stand against this Sage?

The Martial Emperor fell silent upon hearing this.

The Ghost Saint's blood-red eyes looked towards the direction of the Qin Dynasty, a chilling killing intent appearing on his face.

>A hundred years ago, the revered one suffered losses at the hands of Da Qin. Now, the revered one will take back both principal and interest. This time, I will destroy Da Qin completely!

And then he fell silent.

He looked at Wuhhuang: "As for the matters of Da Qin, the Eternal Alliance doesn't need to intervene for now. You are responsible for the barbarian side, as well as those of Daliang and Dayue."

“I am quite familiar with the Great Qin, and I may be able to help you with some matters.”

No need.

The Ghost Saint directly refused.

Seeing this, Emperor Wu lowered his head and said nothing more.

Here's the translation: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"You go first, I will handle the matters of Great Qin."

"I shall take my leave!"

The Martial Emperor, along with the other Immortal Alliance leaders, bowed and retreated.

After they left.

The Ghost Saint looked at Wang Mubai and the other great demons: "This time, when attacking the Great Qin, you will all follow this saint to go there. But there's one thing, this saint must warn you, that is the flesh and blood of the human race in the Great Qin, no one should plunder it privately."

Those are all resources for this Saint to break through to the level of a Demon God. If anyone defies orders, don't blame this Saint for being heartless.

"Rest assured, sir, we understand!"

Wang Mubai and the other great demons were startled, hurriedly bowing their heads in reply.

Without breaking through previous Ghost Saints, they are simply not able to contend.

Now that he has reached the half-step demon god realm, his strength is even more terrifying.

If you truly anger the other party, there is only one way out: death.

Seeing this.

The Ghost Saint nodded in satisfaction and turned his gaze once more towards the Qin Dynasty.

"Today, this holy one first slaughtered the city of Lu'an!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As soon as his words fell, he stepped into the air with a stride, and an overwhelming aura of sinister energy erupted, causing the void to crack silently.

Then.

Wang Mu Bai and the other great demons also rose into the air, closely following behind the Ghost Saint.

For a moment.

Within the territory of the Great Zhou, demonic and evil Qi surged rampant.

On the city wall of Tianmen Pass.

Shen Changqing's thoughts moved, and his mind directly withdrew from the state of merging with heaven and earth. Immediately, his gaze turned to the void in front of him.

>

The overwhelmingly evil and sinister aura surges violently.

The blazing sun in the sky seemed to be obscured, and a blood-red haze spread across the heavens, symbolizing the impending disaster.

>

Such commotion.

At first, it was discovered by the strong individuals within the Heavenly Gate.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The Eastern Emperor descended from the sky and landed beside Shen Changqing.

His gaze was fixed firmly ahead.

There.

Here is the translation:

Blood spread like a tide, and the void itself cracked with an eerie silence, as if the world was ending.

Not long.

Also arrived were Yan Jing and others.

Everyone looked on in terror at the surging, dreadful power and the scene of utter destruction, their faces filled with astonishment.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It's just a breath.

This brings despair to their hearts.

Shen Changqing stood up, looking at the scene before him with a calm face, uttering a few words.

They are here!

They are here!

Who's there?

Everyone present understood very well.

"Everyone evacuate Tianmen Pass and retreat one hundred li!"

Shen Changqing suddenly spoke.

Yan Jing and others were taken aback, just about to ask something when they were interrupted directly by the other party.

Don't ask so many questions, just withdraw, immediately!

Shen Changqing's face was grim, his eyes fixed intently ahead.

On the other side.

The Eastern Emperor, as if understanding something, said solemnly, "Retreat!"

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text! ?

Both spoke at the same time.

Despite their bewilderment, Yan Jing and others still arranged for personnel to retreat.

Let me know if you have other text to translate! ?

Message delivery.

Tianmenguan was indeed shaking.

Those who could be stationed here were the cream of the crop. With a single order, within fifteen minutes, they had their troops fully assembled and in perfect order as they withdrew from Tianmen Pass.

...With the army retreating.

There was also the imperial carriage that Gu Xuanji rode in during his personal expedition.

Very soon.

The vast Tianmen Pass had become an empty gate.

Over a hundred miles away.

"Azure Dragon Army, assemble!"

Jan Jing shouted loudly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Wei Yang also immediately sent word, gathering the Fire Lin Army to meet the enemy.

Now.

The blood-red expanse, like a crimson sky, stretched before them. They were about to enter the Qin territory.

The Heavenly Gate ahead, shrouded under a blood-red sky, appeared unusually small and vulnerable, as if it could be destroyed with ease.

Yan Jing took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm and not panic in the heat of the moment.

He knew.

This battle will decide the fate of Lu'an Prefecture, and even the entire Qin Dynasty.

If you can withstand it, then there's no problem at all.

If you cannot withstand it, then abandon everything.

“Form up!”

Thinking of this, Yan Jing waved his hand, and hundreds of thousands of Canglong soldiers lined up in an orderly manner. Their murderous aura soared into the sky, transforming into illusory Azure Dragons crawling on the ground.

The dragon's roar shook the heavens.

awe-inspiring.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

On the other side, the Fire Scale Army was also assembled completely. A fiery qilin with four hooves stepped into the air, its huge eyes coldly staring ahead.

Such a change made Shen Changqing's eyebrows twitch slightly.

He truly didn't know that the Canglong Army and the Hulin Army would actually have such tricks up their sleeves.

As if seeing through his mind, Dongfang Zhao timely explained.

“The Canglong Army and the Hulin Army are the true elite of the Qin Empire. Cultivating such elites consumes an immeasurable amount of resources, and each army possesses its own unique military formation secrets obtained from ancient sites.”

Here is the text translated into English: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But to wield such a secret technique, one must pay an immense price.

When armies clash, it is the essence of everyone that is consumed.

Whenever a battle ends, the Canglong Army suffers more than half its casualties. If fighting drags on for too long, it is not impossible for the entire army to be wiped out."

Having heard the explanation.

Shen Changqing looked at the two armies that had already set up their formations, his eyes changed a little.

According to them, this tactic is tantamount to a last stand.

How strong are you?

“I'm not too sure either, I haven't personally seen them use such military tactics, just heard about it.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Eastern Emperor shook his head.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing's heart understood, his gaze turned once more to the blood-colored sky curtain, his hand already resting on the hilt of his waist knife.

Outside of Tianmen Pass.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Ghost Saint descended from the heavens.

Looking at the deserted cell, the eerie face broke into a cold smile.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

"Where can you run to? You're just making futile struggles."

And then he stopped speaking.

He struck out with a palm.

The void shatters.

The overwhelming power crushed down, and the Heaven's Gate Pass, which existed hundreds of years ago, collapsed with a thunderous roar.

The city wall collapsed.

The Ghost Saint merely glanced disdainfully and directly crossed the Heavenly Gate Pass, heading towards Lu'an Prefecture.

An empty pass.

So be it.

What he truly cared about was the Lu'an Prefecture and all the human race of the Qin Dynasty.

Only destroy the Qin.

Then one could directly step into the realm of demon gods.

That time.

The benefits are self-evident.

Let me know if you have other text to translate!

“Ancient mechanisms, Demon Suppression Division, a hundred years ago's matters should be settled now!”

The Ghost Saint's eyes grew colder and colder.

Wang Mubai and the other powerful demons behind him didn't even glance at Tianguan. They accompanied the opponent into the territory of Daqin.

On the other side.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text! ?

The Azure Dragon Army and the Fire Scale Army are already in position, ready for battle. As for the other armies, they have fully retreated.

Facing the Demon Saint.

Here is the translation of your content: Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text! ?

Others are just like ants, even if they stay behind, it's useless and only increases casualties.

Therefore.

>

In order to preserve their strength, those armies mainly focused on withdrawing.

>Truly, the ones who stay.

Besides the Canglong and Hulin armies, the other powerful figures in the Demon Suppression Division include Shen Changqing and Dongfang Zhao.

It is worth noting that.

In order to resist demons, the Eastern Command issued an edict, which has already allowed many powerful figures from the Demon Suppression Bureau to come.

Thus far.

Wang Jie, the military governor, has already arrived for several days.

Including Shen Changqing’s original acquaintance, Zhou Yuanzheng, was also among them. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

A blood-red sky descends.

>

The heavens and earth darkened in an instant.

The sun and moon have no light.

It's like being caught in the apocalypse.

Looking at the blood-red sky, everyone felt heavy in their hearts.

Though not fearful before the battle.

In terms of momentum, the Qin state has already fallen behind.

Shen Changqing took a step forward, his hand gripping the hilt suddenly moved, the long blade hidden for so long was suddenly unsheathed.

In an instant.

In the dim world, a ray of absolute brilliance emerged.

Next.

It was a breathtaking sword intent, like a tidal wave, as if even heaven and earth were trembling slightly.

Rip—

The blade of light pierced straight into the heavens, and the void cracked silently.

A blood-red sky, like a piece of cloth, was torn open by blades of light.

In an instant.

The heaven and earth are clear.

After the blood-red sky curtain shattered, demons appeared in the world.

"One-grade Divine Skill!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

In the void, Ghost Saint's crimson eyes fell on Shen Changqing.

The power of that just now strike has already reached the level of a Demon Saint.

It originally.

>

He didn't take Shen Changqing seriously yet. After all, although the other party was talented, their strength was average. It wouldn't be so easy for them to grow to a level that threatened him.

But unexpectedly.

This human actually possesses a first-rank divine ability.

Besides. Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

That supernatural power was extremely unfamiliar to Ghost Saints.

Recalling the blade that just passed.

>

Peerless and domineering sword intent.

This left him somewhat shocked.

As for the many monsters behind Gui Sheng, their expressions changed drastically.

"Why has his strength grown so quickly?!"

This appears to be a request for me to translate the content within the provided HTML tags. However, there is no visible content between the tags `

Wang Mu's face was as dark and gloomy as water.

Although that sword strike wasn't aimed at him, the sheer power behind it was unmistakable.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! ?

To be frank.

If it weren't for the Ghost Saint taking that blade.

With its own power, there was absolutely no possibility of resistance in the face of that blade.

In other words.

He will die.

If the other party had used this move when they were at Nanyu Mansion, there would have been no chance of survival.

Shen Changqing must die!

At this kind of threat, Wang Mubai's heart rose with intense murderous intent.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

"This saint believed that after the ancient Xuanji fell, there shouldn't be any outstanding figures left in the Qin Dynasty. I never expected to have misjudged. It's impossible for a first-rank divine ability to exist in this world. Which deity is behind you?"

The Ghost Saint's icy voice rang out.

Spirits?

Shen Changqing's heart moved.

There is no doubt that Heaven and Earth Slash made the other party mistakenly believe it was the inheritance technique of some powerful expert.

In a simple sentence, he gleaned a wealth of information.

However.

Shen Changqing did not answer.

Even if he fabricated a powerful being, it seems unlikely that it would intimidate the other party.

After all, this demon saint in front of us clearly intends to destroy the Qin Dynasty.

The previous use of the Heaven-Earth Slash exhausted a significant portion of its power.

Instead of talking so much.

It's better to take this opportunity to quietly recover.

It is worth mentioning.

After entering the tenth realm, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth has increased significantly.

Here's the translation:<

Seeing Shen Changqing did not answer.

The Ghost Saint's crimson eyes narrowed slightly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

Since you won't say, then forget it. Anyway, after today, your ending will be the same.

He finished speaking.

As soon as he thought about it.

A blood-red sky curtain descended once again, transforming into a vast expanse that enveloped everyone within its grasp.

"Domain!"

Shen Changqing's face changed slightly.

He noticed that the space around him had become stagnant.

Not only that.

Even the physical essence and blood are suppressed by a lot.

In the Demon Lord's Domain, Shen Changqing had also experienced it before. For himself today, there was no great pressure.

But this was the first time he felt it in the realm of the Demon Saint.

The field is out.

Its own strength has directly decreased by 50%.

The gap!

This is the gap!

The stronger the existence, the more terrifying its domain becomes. Just like a ghost saint, once their domain is activated, those weaker than them have no chance of resisting.

Turning his head to look.

Dongfang Zhao and the others also all changed color.

It is obvious.

They also realized that their own power was being greatly suppressed.

Moreover.

The phantom of the Azure Dragon Kirin formed by the Canglong Army and the Huolin Army once again faded, seeming as if it could shatter at any moment.

“A hundred years ago, this saint fell to your Great Qin. A hundred years later, this saint has stepped into the realm of a half-step demon god. Even if Gu Xuanji were to be reborn, he would not be a match for this saint.”

Don't worry, after you die, there will be other Qin people to bury with you!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

The Ghost Saint's face was impassive as he looked down at the crowd, regarding them like ants.

Half-Step Demon God Realm.

It's not something that those below the rank of Demon Saint can withstand.

If Shen Changqing were a powerful being at the level of the Demon Saint, and coupled with a first-rank divine ability, he would indeed have the qualifications to fight against himself.

Alas.

If the opponent is not a demon saint, then their doom is certain.

Apart from Shen Changqing, no one else in the Great Qin currently caught his eye.

Even the Imperial Edict from the East is like this.

On hearing this.

No one responded below.

Shen Changqing gripped the hilt of his sword, wanting to strike another blow, but his expended energy hadn't replenished much.

Drawing a hasty second sword will only harm oneself.

It is now.

The Ghost Saint was no longer going to waste any words. Under the domain's coverage, he struck out with a palm strike.

A palm strike the size of a hundred zhang, blood-red and imposing, pressed down like a mountain.

Shen Changqing's eyes turned cold, and he was about to strike out with a second blow regardless of the cost.

Boom—

Golden true qi transformed into a real dragon, striking the void. It collided with a blood-colored palm strike with a thunderous boom.

The void is shattered.

A wave of destruction swept in.

"Ancient Mechanisms!"

The Ghost Saint looked at the person who appeared before him, his crimson eyes filled with hatred and a hint of fear.

Such a change.

Not only was the demon side shocked, but even the Qin side's faces changed dramatically.

Yan Jing and Wei Yang, along with others, had shock and surprise in their eyes.

Play dead!

Now they understand.

It turns out that Gu Xuanji didn't really fall, he just feigned his death.

As for the purpose of faking death, it is self-evident.

In the vacuum.

Ancient True Qi swirled around Gu Xuanji's imperial robes, his hand holding aloft the Great Qin Imperial Seal. His unparalleled might erupted, destroying the domain laid down by the Ghost Saint.

“Ghost Saint, a hundred years ago you invaded the Qin Dynasty, I cut off half your body. Now that you return to the Qin Dynasty, your death is imminent!”

He looked grim.

Even though the demonic saint's flames raged fiercely, it didn't stir a flicker of emotion from him.

On hearing this.

This is a test.

The Ghost Saint laughed furiously with anger.

"Gu Xuanji, you truly believe this Saint is still as he was a hundred years ago? Now, this Saint has stepped into the realm of a half-step demon god. How can you lowly humans possibly contend?"

"Good you're still alive, so I can kill you with my own hands!"

Anger surged through his heart.

He's not beating around the bush anymore.

Once again, a palm strike was unleashed, the blood-colored palm force devouring its target.

Upon seeing this.

Gu Xuanji held the imperial seal of the Qin Dynasty in his hand and said in a deep voice, "I am Gu Xuanji, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Now that demons have invaded, you, as subjects of the Qin Dynasty, please raise your left hands and lend me your strength so that I may slay the demons!"

The voice rang out, instantly reaching the ears of everyone in the Qin realm.

Many common people were puzzled and showed confused expressions on their faces.

Next.

A kind of enlightenment arose in my heart.

One, two.

Throughout the vast Qin empire, people raised their left hands. Their feeble power, like a constellation of stars, surged towards Lu'an Prefecture.

Very soon.

The converging power, ever growing, has become a golden torrent.

in an instant.

>

The imperial seal's radiance surged.

>

The golden true qi swirling around Gu Xuanji had reached a point where it was as solid as reality. A golden domain unfolded around him, centered on him, and at the same time, he struck out with a palm.

Boom—

The golden palm force collided with the blood-red palm force.

The latter is shattered and broken.

Upon seeing this.

This content should be translated:

The Ghost Saint's complexion changed drastically, and he channeled his soul power, unleashing the bloody domain once more.

Boom!

The collision of the two domains' voids was like a clash between their heavens and earths. Within a radius of a hundred miles, the void instantly shattered.

As they both move to fight.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

The Ghost Saint coldly shouted, "You wait to clean up the others, I will deal with Gu Xuanji myself!"

"Yes!"

Several powerful demons all nodded directly.

Suddenly.

They charged down toward the crowd below.

“Kill!”

Yan Jing stepped into the ranks of the Azure Dragon Army, like a slumbering Azure Dragon phantom, which directly awakened at this moment.

A spear pointed at someone.

The Azure Dragon let out a earth-shattering dragon roar, charging towards one of the large demons.

At the same time, Weiyang also entered the ranks of the Hòulín Army. The red flames on Qilin's body surged, causing the other demon to change its expression.

This time, there were five demon beasts that followed the Ghost Saint in.

Among.

The two powerful demons have already been intercepted by the Azure Dragon Army and the Fire Scale Army.

On the other side.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

The Eastern Decree soared into the air, intercepting Wang Mubai and the two-headed demon beast directly.

"Looks like you guys are here to play with me again!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

His words were light, but his face looked pale and indifferent.

Upon hearing this.

Wang Mu Bai's eyes turned cold.

This time, you're going to die!

"You might die before me."

Oriental Majesty's lips curled into a cold and cruel smile. In an instant, he vanished from sight.

Wang Mu Bai almost immediately threw a punch towards the empty space in front of him.

Click!

The void cracked open.

Oriental Decree's form manifested from within.

The two-headed demon reacted in time, condensing its sinister energy into an iron chain and sweeping it across.

There is still a large demon left.

Then Zhou Yuanzheng and others intercepted it.

In an instant.

The scene descended into a chaotic melee.

"The strength of the Canglong Army and the Hulin Army was ultimately lacking. Even against two demons who were not at their peak, they seemed to be struggling."

Fortunately, there were two Wang Jie Zhen who cooperated from the side, otherwise they would have been defeated very soon.

Shen Changqing watched the situation, with no intention of making a move.

>

He is waiting.

>Wait for a suitable opportunity.

The consumption of Heaven and Earth Severing Slash was too great. Right now, I haven't recovered much. It would be difficult to strike out with such a blade again.

The main point is still.

The situation has not yet reached a state of collapse. Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

With the assistance of two Wang Jie Town Guards, the Canglong Army and Huli Army's opponents were also heavily wounded demon beasts from before. In a short period of time, there was no major problem at all.

On the other side.

The eastern army, outnumbered two to one, held their ground just as well.

>

The last powerful monster was dealt with by Zhou Yuan teaming up with another Wang-rank garrison commander.

As for Zhou YuZheng.

Shen Changqing didn't know much about it.

But he didn't expect that the other party's strength was so powerful.

Although not a high-ranking garrison commander.

>

But it is not much weaker than the high-ranking garrison commander.

Finally.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Shen Changqing turned his gaze to the battle in the void.

There, that is the biggest key.

If the demonic saint cannot be dealt with, then even if all the great demons are slain, it will be of no use.

This is the translated text: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

A demonic saint.

...he can upend the entire Qin Dynasty.

The same reasoning applies.

If the Demon Saint can be slain, then the remaining demons will pose no threat.

Judging from the strength of both the Canglong Army and the Huolin Army, the Qin Empire has accumulated considerable reserves over its three hundred years.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Several powerful demons.

There is no possibility that the foundation of Qin will be shaken.

In the vacuum of space.

Gu Xuanji held the imperial seal, condensing the power of Qin's national fortune. Although his realm remained at the Grandmaster level, his strength had grown to a terrifying degree.

Every punch delivered can obliterate the void.

>

The golden realm's bombardment caused the blood-colored realm to constantly shatter and break.

"You shouldn't have come to Qin!"

As they spoke, Gu Xuanji unleashed another punch, the fist force directly piercing through the blood-colored domain.

The Ghost Saint raised his hand.

He blocked the full force of that punch.

>

But, his body was also pushed back by that power.

"Your lifespan was never long to begin with, and now in this battle, how long can you possibly hold on? In the end, it will be I, the Holy One, who laughs."

The Ghost Saint's face was dark.

Originally, I thought that after stepping into the half-step demon god realm, I could completely ignore the Ancient Mysterious Mechanism.

I didn't expect that.

Over the past century, they have also grown so much.

Even when borrowing the luck of the Qin Dynasty again, even someone as powerful as himself who had stepped into the realm of a half-step demon god, was still directly at a disadvantage.

Generally speaking.

Now that the enemy has been driven back, we should wait until Gu Xuanji's strength falls before attacking Da Qin again.

However.

The Ghost Saint, however, was unwilling to accept this.

A hundred years ago he stepped down, now if he steps down again, where will his face be?

The great demon saint.

To be repeatedly driven back by a human is simply a disgrace.

So.

Retreat is impossible.

Although Gǔ Xuánjī is very powerful, in the Ghost Saint's eyes, there was no possibility of him being killed. As long as they fought to the end, the other party would eventually run out of strength.

By then.

The victor remains himself.

You're out of time to laugh!

Gu Xuanji shook his head slightly. He took a step forward, and brilliant golden light emanated from his body, as if he were undergoing some kind of ultimate transformation.

Hair turns white.

His momentum surged.

The golden domain suddenly expanded, engulfing the blood-colored domain completely within a single breath.

By the time Ghost Saint reacted, he was already trapped within the golden domain.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

"Burn the essence blood!"

"You're crazy!"

His face changed drastically.

The other party's lifespan was already short, now they are burning their essence and blood, as if they want to die with me.

In this situation, even the Ghost Saint felt a little uneasy.

Their former fighting spirit, upon seeing Gu Xuanji's determination, dissipated considerably.

He wants to quit.

That's all.

Being trapped in this domain, leaving is not as simple as it seems.

“I said you wouldn't live to see another day!”

Gu Xuji's face was expressionless, and he directly suppressed the imperial seal in his hand.

That was the most precious treasure that gathered all the national fortunes of the Qin Dynasty. Once activated, it possessed inexhaustible power.

Felt the threat of Di Xi.

The Ghost Saint didn't have time to think, and with a sudden palm strike, he aimed directly at the Imperial Seal.

Boom!

The golden realm trembles.

When the Ghost Saint's palm touched the Imperial Seal, it was instantly struck by a powerful force, causing his flesh to burst and his golden finger bones to shatter.

The immense power coursed through him, causing his body to tremble violently.

Then.

The imperial seal retreated, and Gu Xuanji grabbed it with one hand while pressing down with the other.

The Ghost Saint wanted to dodge, but he had no chance to evade. He could only use his own power to resist.

Bang—

>

Two fists collided.

Under the weakening of its domain, the Ghost Saint's power is not as strong as before.

And Gu Xuanji burned his blood essence foundation, but his aura became even more powerful.

One gains while the other loses. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Ghost Saint's arm was broken.

“This is forcing my hand!”

He was furious.

Originally, the Ghost Saint didn't want to use extreme measures. After all, dealing with a dying person, if he overexerted himself, it wouldn't be worth it.

But now.

The power revealed by Gu Xuanji was too strong. If I kept holding back, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As soon as I thought of this.

He then prepared to do the same, burning his own blood essence to push his power to its limits.

Noticed the other party's actions.

A cold smile appeared on Gu Xuanji's face.

"It's too late to make up your mind now!"

As he spoke, he raised the imperial seal in one hand. All the Great Qin's Qi within it erupted completely.

The air is charged.

The Imperial Might surged instantly.

Before the Ghost Saint could react, he was severely suppressed by the Imperial Seal.

In an instant.

Flesh torn apart, blood splattering everywhere.

>

Just as he was about to blast the Ghost Saint to pieces, Gu Xuanji suddenly retracted the Imperial Seal. At the same time, the power of the golden domain rapidly contracted, all focusing on the opponent's body.

Next.

...was a furious roar.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Shen Zhen, this is the time to make a move! When else will there be such an opportunity!”

The voice boomed like thunder.

In a flash.

Shen Changqing didn't hesitate, his right hand that had already gripped the hilt of the knife suddenly moved.

As if to cleave the heavens and earth, a blade of light once again appeared before everyone's eyes.

Miraculous powers!

Heaven and earth, a single sword slash!
