Chapter 335: Chapters 131 to 132 Rumble for a Hundred Li (Combined two Chapters, additional updates at 19,800 and 20,300 monthly tickets)
"Say it and you will die!" Shen Changqing’s heart trembled.
He looked at the terror on Gu Cang’s face; the words he had just said did not seem to be false. That meant the Demon Evil Clan might indeed be under some kind of restriction preventing them from revealing their origins, otherwise, they would die instantly.
Immediately, Shen Changqing changed the subject.
"How many powerful beings are there within the Demon Evil Clan?"
"My clan has numerous powerful beings. Whether low-level or high-level Demon Evils, they are not worth mentioning; only Great Demons and those above them are considered true powerhouses. The current strength of the Human Clan is utterly insignificant before my Demon Evil Clan," Gu Cang replied without hesitation. Towards the end, his tone carried an unintended trace of arrogance.
In his view, the power of the Human Clan indeed seemed trivial.
Shen Changqing narrowed his eyes. "If the Demon Evil Clan is indeed that powerful, why haven’t they overcome the Human Clan in over three hundred years?"
"The time has not yet come."
"When will it be considered the right time?"
"I cannot say! Saying it would kill me!" Gu Cang shook his head, a look of terror on his face.
Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing asked several more questions, but Gu Cang could hardly answer any of them.
For a moment, he couldn’t figure out whether there was indeed some restriction, or if Gu Cang was simply using this as an excuse to fend him off. Just by looking at Gu Cang’s expression, it was difficult to be completely certain.
Then, Shen Changqing asked his last question.
"How did you manage to break through? Don’t say you don’t know again, or I’ll send you on your way immediately." He was clearly impatient. Answering ’I don’t know’ to everything was simply a waste of my time.
Hearing this, Gu Cang didn’t shake his head again but answered truthfully, "I was able to break through because the Eternal Alliance gave me a Blood Soul Pill."
Blood Soul Pill? Shen Changqing was puzzled.
As if sensing Shen Changqing’s confusion, Gu Cang spoke without prompting, "Refining a Blood Soul Pill is neither simple nor overly complex. As long as one sacrifices one hundred thousand or more living beings, the elixir can be successfully refined. This kind of elixir, containing the essence blood and souls of life forms, is a great supplement for our clan."
BOOM—
With a palm strike, Gu Cang was obliterated by the force before he could even react.
After forcefully eliminating him, a familiar sensation washed over Shen Changqing. Following that, an overwhelming surge of Spiritual Power flooded into his Sea of Consciousness. Under that impact, Shen Changqing’s eyes glazed over, and he fell into a daze.
In his Sea of Consciousness, the blood-red lotus trembled violently. Receiving that pure and surging Spiritual Power, it seemed to be intensely nourished. The phantom of the seventh petal solidified at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Time trickled by. It might have been an hour, or perhaps two.
The seventh petal of the blood-red lotus finally solidified, appearing as if it truly existed. As the petal solidified, a mysterious fluctuation spread from it. Soon, his Sea of Consciousness trembled violently, as if undergoing an indescribable transformation.
Following that, an extremely terrifying baleful aura burst forth. The baleful aura soared into the heavens, breaking the constraints of Shen Changqing’s Sea of Consciousness and rushing into the firmament in an instant.
The next moment, the baleful aura transformed into a heaven-shattering blade’s intent.
HUM!
Centered on Shen Changqing’s Flesh, a clear and melodious Blade’s Hum spread for a hundred miles, reaching everyone’s ears.
At that moment, all Martial Artists looked up at the firmament. Some wore expressions of confusion. Others were horror-stricken.
"Blade’s intent soaring into the sky, its hum resounding for a hundred miles! Someone has broken through to Grandmaster Peak!" a Grandmaster from the Demon-Subduing Division exclaimed in shock.
As a Grandmaster, he knew very well what this phenomenon meant. Such a phenomenon occurred only when an expert reached the peak of the Spiritual System, officially stepping into the Grandmaster Peak realm.
Blade’s intent soaring! Its sound spreading for a hundred miles!
With a Grandmaster’s sharp perception, he instantly identified the source of the blade’s intent.
It was—Luoyang City!
"The blade’s intent is coming from Luoyang City!"
"Luoyang City?" Hearing the words of the Grandmaster beside him, Du’er looked shocked.
In an instant, he associated it with Shen Changqing. The only person likely to be in Luoyang City now is Elder Shen. Originally, Elder Shen was a Grandmaster at the Ultimate Summit. However, according to reports, he had only achieved an unfathomably high level in the Physical System. In the Spiritual System, he hadn’t yet stepped into the Peak Realm. This phenomenon now... doesn’t it mean Elder Shen has also officially reached the peak in the Spiritual System?
Shock! Unparalleled shock!
Even though he’d had some speculations before, when the phenomenon of the hundred-mile Blade’s Hum appeared, Du’er still couldn’t remain calm.
He knew very well that if Elder Shen also reached the peak in the Spiritual System, then he would become a Grandmaster at the peak of both systems. Currently, there didn’t seem to be such a powerful individual in the Demon-Subduing Division. Forget the Demon-Subduing Division; even in the entire Jianghu, no Grandmaster had ever reached the peak in both systems. Of course, that was before Shimohe emerged. Now that the powerful figure from eight hundred years ago had appeared, the emergence of a dual-peak Grandmaster was no longer as shocking as it once was. But even so, Du’er believed that once this news spread, it would still shock many people.
