Chapter 1048 - 121-122: Half-Step Divine King (Double-Length)

In the midst of conversation.

Even Shen Changqing himself cannot be sure of contending against a Half-Step Divine King.

Such a formidable being.

Is already stepping halfway into the domain of the God Realm.

"Without entering the Divine Forge Platform, it’s highly unlikely to qualify for the contest over the Divine Mandate Platform, and in the eyes of the Zhongshan Clan, lacking the strength to slay a Half-Step Divine King means one cannot go to the Zhongzhou Continent.

Thus, the contest over the Divine Mandate Platform is more fierce than I imagined!"

Shen Changqing’s heart grew heavier.

He only learned about the Divine Mandate Platform from hearsay from Zhongshan Dongxuan.

Half-Step Divine King.

Based on his current understanding, among the various Clans, they are considered the strongest below the Divine King.

Within the Zhongshan Clan, except for Zhongshan Xia, Shen Changqing hasn’t heard of anyone with the God Realm’s power capable of slaying a Half-Step Divine King level powerhouse.

From this, one can see how powerful a Half-Step Divine King really is.

However.

Even among Half-Step Divine Kings, there are distinctions.

The one from the Dushan Clan is evidently a powerhouse among Half-Step Divine Kings.

And if we talk about strength, the Half-Step Divine King Tower Guardian within the Ascension Tower might have a considerable gap compared to the one from the Dushan Clan.

Even so.

The strength of Zhongshan Kongzhou and others who can slay the Half-Step Divine King Tower Guardian is conceivable.

"The contest over the Divine Mandate Platform disregards potential, focusing only on strength, but if I can ascend the Divine Forge Platform, the Zhongshan Clan might pin their hopes on me!"

Hopes pinned on him.

Which translates to massive resources.

What does he lack the most now?

In Shen Changqing’s view, he lacks resources the most.

If there was the chance for his name to be marked on the Divine Mandate Platform, the Zhongshan Clan would definitely cultivate him vigorously.

After all—

Zhongshan Kongzhou and others are cultivators of Divine King Level, while he himself just entered the Sixth Level of God Realm.

Who is strong and who is weak.

Is obvious.

However—

With his current strength, whether he can slay the Half-Step Divine King Tower Guardian is still a question.

"The Heavenly Domain only opens for three years. I should have been in the Heavenly Domain for about three months now, leaving two years and nine months. I aim to elevate my power to the level of slaying Half-Step Divine King within nine months!"

Shen Changqing made a decision.

Immediately.

He left the vicinity of the Ascension Tower and returned to the valley where he was previously secluded.

The forbidden technique was set up.

Without wasting any time.

He directly took out a Purifying Stone, preparing to refine all remaining faith in the Sea of Consciousness completely.

—

Several days later.

Shen Changqing’s body slightly trembled, and when he withdrew from cultivation again, the Purifying Stone had already completely lost its effectiveness.

"Mid-Level of Sixth Layer in God Realm!"

"Although I still have a few Purifying Stones in my hand, for now, they won’t be of much use!"

The reason is simple.

All previously accumulated power of faith has now been completely refined.

Although the Green Bee Clan continues to transmit faith continuously, the amount is not much, and for him now, it is nothing but a drop in the ocean.

There’s no other choice.

Even though the Green Bee Clan has already risen to a Power Clan, its foundation is too shallow, and there aren’t many clan members, so the power of faith provided is insufficient.

Previously, at the Third and Fourth Layers of God Realm, the tribe provided quite a bit of faith.

But after advancing to the Sixth Layer of God Realm, Shen Changqing already felt the deficiency in the tribe’s faith.

To quickly advance in the future, more tribal faith is necessary.

Otherwise.

Relying solely on the faith provided by the Green Bee Clan.

Even with large quantities of Purifying Stones, it’s impossible to increase strength significantly.

Exhausted faith.

Shen Changqing refined a portion of Divine Crystal once more, allowing the Divine Path Realm to officially pause at the extreme of Mid-Level of Sixth Layer in God Realm, then stopped.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to enter the Post-stage of Sixth Layer in God Realm.

Only because after refining some Divine Crystal, the Divine Fire became unstable again, forcing a breakthrough might trigger the birth of a Heart Demon.

For now, there’s no space for elevating the Divine Path Realm.

Next.

The real focus for improvement is the Martial Dao Realm and techniques in Divine Skills.

Beyond the ninety layers in the Ascension Tower, he obtained not only the Purifying Stones but also some high rank elixirs.

Those elixirs.

Are exclusively Divine King Level.

Though the quantity isn’t much, truly wanting to open some Secret Storages might not be a problem.

"But now there’s a problem, which is whether opening the Secret Storages can allow me to complete a Middle Cycle. If it can’t, even if time is spent refining, it won’t elevate power significantly for now."

"As for Divine Skills, I have received Palm Path Insights before, which allows me to take this opportunity to fully comprehend the Stars and Myriad Phenomena Divine Art and grasp the laws within, making it easier!"

Shen Changqing’s expression changed.

How strong are Divine Ability Laws?

He isn’t very clear either.

But since Divine Ability Laws form the foundation for coagulating Rule Phantom, then the power of laws is surely beyond the power of ordinary divine skills.

He could clear the ninety-eight layers of Ascension Tower using the foundation of both Martial Dao and Divine Path, but the true basis remains the Stars and Myriad Phenomena Divine Art.

A perfected First Grade divine skill is inherently formidable.

With the support of Flesh Secret Storage power, the potency of the divine skill surges, exceeding the scope a First Grade divine skill should possess.

Therefore.

He can, at the Sixth Layer of God Realm, slay eight Divine King Level Tower Guardians.
