Chapter 299 to 300: Breakthrough Success!
as lit by an oil lamp, and the light shone through the gauze window.Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!Shen Changqing stood there, tilting his head to glance at the half-closed door on h...Three days have passed.
Tianmenguan has always been in a state of tranquility.
Although the news of the Zhou dynasty's fall was still spreading, it did not have too much impact on Qin.
Up to this point.
The news of Gu Xuanji's passing was kept completely under wraps, showing how well the information was secured.
But.
Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!
After talking with Dongfang Zhao, Shen Changqing knew that although it seemed calm on the surface, there were already some undercurrents surging beneath.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After all, if Gu Xuanji remains hidden for a long time, it's natural to arouse suspicion.
However.
These things didn't have much of an impact on him.
When the sky falls, there is a tall man to hold it up.
Now the ancient Xuanji is that tall man.
If the opponent is daring enough to feign death and lure the demon saint out, then there's a good chance we can take them down.
If Gu Xuanji really went too far, Shen Changqing also had the confidence to retreat unscathed.
Therefore.
He wasn't in a hurry either.
Of course.
Although he wasn't anxious himself, seeing Yan Jing and Wei Yang and the others, he was secretly anxious.
Gu Xuanji is still in Tiangmen Pass. Getting his body out quietly is also a big problem.
Besides that.
We also need to let the capital know first and get them ready.
At that time.
>
Only then can we start transporting the body back.
Otherwise.
Before the message reached the capital, the body arrived first, which would definitely cause even bigger trouble.
Fortunately.
The bodies of the strong are not comparable to ordinary people, even if they are placed for hundreds of years, there is no possibility of decay.
Otherwise.
This will create more trouble.
This is the time.
Once again, the Eastern Envoy arrived, bringing with him a package.
“Sixty-four sword techniques, the lowest are martial arts of the Xiantian realm.”
"Thank you for your service, sir!"
>
Shen Changqing's face was filled with gratitude.
The other party's work style is really fast.
If you say three days, then it's three days.
He was well aware of just how difficult it would be to gather all the martial arts he needed from various demon suppression offices across Luo'an Prefecture and then transport them to Tianmen Pass.
"It's a trifle. Your strength, how much it can be enhanced, is also beneficial to my Demon Suppression Division."
Dong Fang's face remained calm.
"Alright, I've given you the martial arts knowledge. I won't bother you anymore."
Let go of martial arts.
He left with an air of indifference.
Shen Changqing didn't stop him. After sending the other party away, he returned to his room and opened the package placed on his desk.
There.
There were many martial arts secrets.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Battle on the Battlefield!
Eight Gates Opening Mountain Sword Technique!
The "Broken River and Piercing Mountain Sword Technique"!
Each martial arts style had a name written on it.
I have to say.
Compared to other martial arts.
Martial arts of the sword type, names either reveal a bit of killing intent or have a bit of domineering force.
“A blade is the heart of a hundred weapons, and therefore swordsmanship is unparalleled by other martial arts. In terms of aura alone, few other types of martial arts can compare to swordsmanship.”
Shen Changqing's face broke into a smile.
Compared to swordsmanship, fist techniques, and footwork, he actually prefers knife techniques a little more.
That's all.
Just the swordsmanship is domineering enough.
The courage of a hundred soldiers.
> It's exactly what I had in mind.
>
It's a pity.
Since the Hundred Battles Blade Technique evolved further, becoming a foundation of the soul and spirit, I haven't acquired any other powerful blade techniques. Instead, to conserve killing points, I've focused on mastering punches and kicks to the point of expertise.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
It's not about exterminating demons and achieving annihilation.
However, compared to the Zhuxie Jiemie Finger, Shen Changqing preferred divine abilities like swordsmanship.
Now.
With ample killing points, before the Shenxiao Golden Body could further fuse and break through, it was possible to first raise the sword technique.
He sat down in the vacant spot and picked up one of the martial arts manuals, flipping it open directly.
Less than a quarter of an hour.
Shen Changqing put down his martial arts, and on the panel there was already the word "Blood Station Knife Technique".
At his level, as long as it wasn't overly profound martial arts, he could basically memorize it completely after just one look.
>
The name "Blood Battle Blade Technique" sounds pretty good.
When speaking of equal ranks, it refers to the level of the innate.
The mind exited the panel.
Shen Changqing continued to pick up the next martial art.
Innate martial arts can be memorized in less than a quarter of an hour, and master martial arts just take a little more time.
Sixty-four martial arts.
Shen Changqing spent most of the day and fully recorded it on the panel.
Calm down.
He looked at his own panel.
The section on martial arts is already overflowing with numerous martial arts.
"Let's begin!"
Take a deep breath.
Shen Changqing got up and walked to the bedside. He sat cross-legged, adjusting his state to a perfect level. Then he calmed his mind again and began to integrate martial arts.
Fusion!
Merge!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Fusion!
With his thoughts driving it, the Kill Value decreased step by step. The martial arts on the panel also constantly merged together, evolving into brand new styles of martial arts.
After the integration of martial arts.
That impact on the memory did not have too much of an effect.
Nine Ranks of the Soul
This is the end of the paragraph. Please note: I have only translated the text between the > tags, leaving the html tags as they are. Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
It's not just talk.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
That kind of memory shock at that level, let alone shaking one's soul, wouldn't even cause a ripple.
Less than half a day.
Then, Shen Changqing fused all sixty-four martial arts styles into thirty-two top-tier master martial arts.
Thus ends the matter.
320 points of carnage value were consumed.
Compared to over 8,000 points of carnage, 320 points of carnage seem insignificant.
But he was very clear.
This is just the beginning.
The fusion of martial arts, the further you go, the more it consumes.
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
There wasn't much of a break.
Shen Changqing once again sank his heart and began a new round of fusion.
Please note that the original content was empty.
It costs 800 killing points.
Thirty-two top masters' martial arts, merged into sixteen lower-rank grandmaster martial arts.
It costs 800 kill points.
Sixteen inferior-grade Grandmaster martial arts have been fused into eight superior-grade Grandmaster martial arts.
"Top-grade martial arts of the Eight Gates!"
Shen Changqing paused slightly, looking at the eight remaining martial arts on the panel, his heart feeling a bit turbulent.
Eight Doors Superior Grandmaster Martial Arts.
Once again, when the fusion reaches the stage of supernatural powers, it enters the stage of divine powers.
For a long time.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
He adjusted his state again, his thoughts moving slightly.
"Fusion!"
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Boom!
As the Tiangmen Pass shut tight, a bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, followed by booming thunder. The massive Tiangmen Pass was engulfed in an eerie silence as every soldier looked up at the heavens. Some were awestruck with fear, while others wore expressions of confusion. A myriad of emotions painted their faces.
"Strange celestial phenomena..."
>
Eastern Command's face was strange as he watched the rolling thunderclouds.
This was the first time he had seen such a phenomenon.
Let me know if you have other text to translate!
But.
If it's hearsay, then I've heard it many times.
It is rumored that only when a divine being appears can the heavens and earth produce wondrous phenomena. It seems he is truly creating an extremely powerful martial art!
Looking in the direction where Shen Changqing was, a hint of shock appeared in Dongfang Zhao's eyes.
Superpowers.
For someone of his caliber, it's no secret.
In fact.
Within the Demon Suppression Bureau, there also existed a divine ability.
But that supernatural power, unless you are a true ruler, there is no qualification to practice.
>
After all, ordinary martial arts are too far inferior to divine powers. Only those in power who possess a divine power are qualified to rule the world.
Therefore.
>
Many years ago, powerful individuals from the Town Demonic Suppression Division discovered a supernatural ability within an ancient relic site.
However.
The Demon Suppression Division only had that one supernatural ability.
As for the claims of creating divine powers, Dongfang Zhao has only seen them mentioned in ancient texts and has never truly witnessed them.
In the past.
He only thought that the other party had attracted heavenly thunder because after reaching the Grandmaster realm, every breakthrough would inevitably bring about celestial phenomena.
> But now it seems things are not so simple at all.
Just as he was about to leave after learning dozens of martial arts, signs of celestial phenomena appeared.
One saying about supernatural powers.
It is already self-evident.
Thinking back to Shen Changqing's previous battle against the powerful demon, with some extraordinary and strange methods, it was clearly not something that could be achieved with ordinary martial arts.
How many divine abilities does he actually possess, or are all those abilities simply creations of his own
If that's really the case, then his talent is terrifyingly more than I had imagined!
There are many ancient divine powers, but Dongfang Zhao can't say for sure.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But he could be sure of one thing: divine powers existing in the world were absolutely extremely rare.
But now.
Shen Changqing possessed several supernatural abilities on his own person.
Then, when recalling the previous information, Dongfang Zhao couldn't help but think of a fact that shocked him.
That is it.
The divine abilities possessed by the other party are most likely not obtained from ancient ruins, but rather created through their own ingenuity.
If my guess is correct.
Then that would truly be horrifying.
Take a few deep breaths.
Once again, a look of relief spread across Dongfang Zhao's face.
"Very well, the Demon Suppression Division currently lacks such powerful individuals. Not only the Demon Suppression Division, but even the entire human race, such powerful figures are unparalleled."
"If he were to grow further, he could alleviate much of the current situation."
Just being strong is enough.
Whether it's the Demon Suppression Division, the Qin Dynasty, or even the entire human race, all lack truly top-tier powerhouses.
What is a top-tier strongman.
In Dong Fang Zhao's view, even the esteemed Marshal of the Imperial Guard was still a great demon and not truly top-tier.
Only when dealing with the level of Demon Saints, or even suppressing Demon Saints, can one be considered top-tier.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He was very clear about it.
Actually, I didn't have much hope of getting that far.
Even if we lived for another ten or eight years, it would be difficult to have this opportunity.
>
Conversely.
With Shen Changqing's demonstrated talent and ability, it is very possible that he could reach that level.
> Next.
It all depends on whether the other party can continue to grow.
Thinking about this, Dongfang Zhao turned his gaze to another direction.
That was the First Emperor of Qin.
Perhaps he saw Shen Changqing's talent and changed his mind, viewing him as the pillar of Qin's future.
The other party may not necessarily be sincere.
However.
The Qin Dynasty had no choice.
The site of the capital city of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
The former capital of the Zhou Dynasty, was completely destroyed in the aftermath of the battles.
Today, the capital of the Great Zhou Empire is nothing but ruins.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In the ruins.
Wang Mubai and the other powerful demons all stayed there, they didn't leave.
In the middle position.
The text content within the > tags is:
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
There was a blood cocoon remaining there, and waves of terrifying aura swept out from it like tides, centered on the blood cocoon.
"Semen!"
Looking at the blood cocoon, Wang Mubai's eyes flickered slightly.
He also knew the method of refining blood essence.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
> I never expected that the Ghost Saint would be able to influence the divine shepherd and sacrifice all the people of Great Zhou.
At the beginning.
Wang Mu Bai did not think in the direction of blood essence.
After all, a domain covering the entire Zhou Dynasty, with billions of people offering sacrifices, such a huge commotion, he almost thought that the Divine Shepherd had other plans.
>
Or so.
The Ghost Saint is cooperating with others.
Arrived at the back.
Wang Mubai suddenly woke up.
The Ghost Saint was actually going to sacrifice the entire Zhou Dynasty to refine his blood essence.
Thinking of the blood essence condensed from billions of people, his heart was also burning with passion.
Such condensed essence of blood contains terrifying energy within it.
If I could swallow it myself.
Wang Mu Bai had a 100% certainty that he could directly break through the threshold of a great demon and enter the ranks of demon saints.
However.
He also knew.
The Ghost Saint couldn't possibly give his essence to himself.
The other party has finally managed to refine a blood essence of this level, it must be for their own use.
Immediately.
Wang Mubai again looked in another direction.
There were also a few people there.
Eternal Alliance Leader.
He didn't have much contact with the Eternal Alliance. He himself wasn't very clear about the true identity of the Eternal Alliance leader.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It can be said.
The Everlasting Alliance was founded by the Ghost Saint.
The rest of the demons, although they could also meddle in the affairs of the Everlasting Alliance, had no real say in the matter.
I just glanced at it briefly.
Wang Mubai then withdrew his gaze.
Those several Eternal Alliance Lords, although their blood and energy were not weak, at most they were equivalent to high-level demons.
This is an example of text within HTML tags. Please note that I have only translated the content between the tags and left the HTML tags themselves unchanged.
People of this caliber.
In his prime, he could crush a man with one hand. There was nothing worth caring about.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Suddenly, a tremor sound came from within the blood cocoon, causing everyone present to feel as if their hearts were being squeezed by a giant hand.
"Amazing!"
The martial emperor's chest heaved violently, his eyes wide with shock as he gazed into the blood cocoon.
He could feel it.
That throbbing sound is continuously tugging at one's blood and vital energy, causing the speed of its flow and the amplitude of the heartbeat to gradually increase.
A moment later.
The Martial Emperor's face flushed red, and he had to retreat.
No more retreating.
His heart was about to burst from the sheer force of it.
Although at this level, a heart explosion wouldn't lead to death, severe injury is unavoidable.
I was injured for no reason.
The Martial Emperor had never had such a strange hobby.
When he left, the other several Eternal Alliance Lords also retreated completely.
There's no way.
Because of insufficient self-strength, it can only retreat some to offset the impact.
In contrast, Wang Mubai and the other great demons appeared as usual.
Although the fluctuations brought by the blood cocoon are strong, they have not yet reached the point where they can shake a great demon.
After all, those who have reached this level of power are already extraordinary.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The trembling sound grew louder.
When the sound reached its end, it felt like the entire world was trembling under it.
Above the heavens.
This is the translated text:
Please note that I only provided the translation and kept the HTML tags as instructed. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky.
The purple tribulation lightning struck, its target being the blood cocoon.
Boom—
Dao dao purple heavenly thunder struck down, terrifying power, capable of tearing apart the void.
That's all.
No matter how powerful the heavenly thunder was, the blood cocoon trembled slightly, just like an absolute defense, without any sign of breaking.
As time goes on.
The power of heaven's thunder gradually increased.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles, everything had been tainted by the power of heavenly thunder, transforming this place into a terrifying Thunder Prison.
That's when.
Wang Mu Bai and the other powerful demons could only retreat.
It's not that they can't withstand the fluctuation, but that they are worried about being struck by lightning.
Can tear apart the void.
The power of Heavenly Thunder poses a great threat to even powerful demons.
If this force sets its sights on you, no one dares to say they can walk away unscathed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Will the Ghost Saint succeed in breaking through"
Wang Mu Bai's eyes were fixed on the blood cocoon.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If thunder strikes today, it indicates that the other party is making a breakthrough.
Please let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
Once successful, it means breaking through the shackles of the demon saint and entering the next realm.
> Thinking of that state.
His heart was pounding.
Even among the demon clan, that level of cultivation would be considered unmatched.
>
I don't know how long ago it was.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The blood cocoon suddenly burst apart.
A terrifying aura burst forth, instantly sweeping across the heavens and earth.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The void, silent and vast, shattered.
The heavenly tribulation has dissipated.
The Ghost Saint walked out slowly, still in black clothes and with black hair. But his eyes seemed to contain boundless majesty, making anyone who looked at them feel compelled to bow down in reverence.
"Did the master succeed in breaking through"
Wang Mu Bai was a little uncertain.
The Ghost Saint's aura right now is truly terrifying.
The opponent's mere passage left behind a simple aura of power that caused the void to shatter.
Such a formidable presence.
He is unheard of and unseen.
On hearing this.
>
Other demons also looked at each other, wanting to get an answer.
The Ghost Saint stopped his steps, his aura completely retracted. There was a trace of regret in his deep eyes.
“Having not fully broken through, this Saint can only be considered to be at the half-step demon god stage!”
Sorry!
It is truly a pity!
Billions of people's blood essence, couldn't even allow him to step into the realm of demon gods.
This is inside.
There is also the reason that he himself has not fully recovered from his injuries.
If the injury heals, then if one were to ingest blood essence, they might be able to enter the demonic god realm.
However.
It will take at least another two or three hundred years for the wounds to heal.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
two or three hundred years.
To a demon saint, it's nothing.
But the Ghost Saint didn't want to wait another two or three hundred years.
A century of humiliation, he wanted to settle the score at all times.
Let him endure for another two or three hundred years; it's simply impossible.
However, although I haven't broken through to the Demon God stage, at the half-step Demon God stage, sweeping across this world should be no problem.
A cruel smile appeared on the ghostly saint's eerie face.
Half-step Demon God!
Wang Mu Bai and the other great demons were shocked.
Although the other party said they hadn't succeeded in breaking through, being able to enter the realm of half-step demon god is no easy feat.
If you say.
>
One day, if this world of humans can be completely sacrificed, then the Ghost Saint will surely be able to enter the realm of demon gods.
And.
It's not as simple as an ordinary demon god.
At their astonishment, Wuhhuang and others also approached.
“Greetings, sir!”
This was their second encounter with the Ghost Saint. Aside from their initial meeting, they usually kept in touch through secret spells.
"What's the latest news from Qin"
The Ghost Saint's expression returned to its previous indifference.
Upon hearing this.
Wuhhuang bowed: “Reporting to Your Excellency, the Qin Empire is currently peaceful. However, scouts from my side at Tianmen Pass reported that Gu Xuanji has not been seen for several days.”
At the same time, there appeared celestial phenomena in the sky above Tianmen Pass.
"That omen is exactly the same as what happened at Nanyou Mansion before. My subordinate suspects it's related to Shen Changqing."
> Until he finished speaking.
The Ghost Saint's crimson eyes flickered.
Things that can cause celestial phenomena are not numerous. According to your statement, the greatest possibility is that someone with supernatural powers has appeared. This person frequently causes celestial phenomena to appear. If every occurrence is related to the emergence of supernatural powers.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then, his talent would be extraordinary.
In his view.
The stronger Shen Changqing's talent became, the greater the threat he posed to himself in the future.
Especially when dealing with demonic clans.
This means it's already on the hit list.

However.
Now that I've reached the half-step demon god stage, as a powerful being at the level of a great demon, even the strongest opponent wouldn't be able to stand against me.
What truly matters to the Ghost Saint is the issue of the Qin Dynasty.
“The emperor’s longevity is destined by heaven. The ancient mystery of time is running out. He fought against the Divine Shepherd in the Zhou Dynasty, and he must have suffered significant losses. If he doesn't appear for several days, it might mean something has happened.”
His eyes were deep.
Perhaps the divine shepherd's skill without any domain enhancement wouldn't be enough to rival Gu Xuanji.
But with the blessing of a certain domain, the Godly Shepherd's Technique is something Gu Xuanji couldn't possibly contend with.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
unless.
...It comes at the cost of some irreparable losses.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Besides, since the return to Tianmen Pass, the other party had never shown up again. For a time, Ghost Saint thought of many things.
"Apart from that, are there any other rumors circulating, referring to Gu Xuanji specifically"
“No, there are no rumors.”
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The Martial Emperor shook his head.
Upon hearing this.
A smile appeared on the ghost saint's eerie face.
"Well, well, it seems Gu Xuanji might really be dead after all."
"Dead"
The Emperor's expression changed.
This possibility, he had not thought of.
The Ghost Saint said, "If there hadn't been the battle with the Divine Shepherd, Gu Xuanji would have lived for only a year or two at most. Now, after battling the Divine Shepherd, it's not impossible that he was led to his demise earlier."
Here is your text translated into English:
Let me know if you have anything else you'd like me to translate!
To continue investigating the news about Tianmen Pass, this saint must determine the life or death of Gu Xuanji.
Last, his face turned cold.
Once Qin Xuanji is confirmed dead, then the Great Qin will officially embark on its final path.
The same.
If Gu Xuanji hadn't died, the Ghost Saint wouldn't mind waiting a little longer.
Although he had broken through to the realm of a half-step demon god, he still didn't want to take this risk.
A century ago, the Great War is still fresh in our memory.
Anyway, the other party won't live long. If they don't die this time, at most wait another one or two years, and I will still be able to attack the Qin Dynasty, avenging the shame of a hundred years ago.
This time.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The Ghost Saint is being quite cautious.
The power of the Half-Step Demon God did not cause its heart to swell.
The martial emperor nodded. "Good, I shall attend to it at once."
“As soon as possible, this saint needs to know the results quickly.”
Finally, the Ghost Saint reminded him once more.
Immediately.
Please provide the text content you want me to translate. I'll be happy to help!
Then Wu Huang and the others bowed and retreated.
On the ruins of the Great Zhou Kingdom's capital, the Ghost Saint looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back. His crimson eyes flashed with a cold killing intent.
In a little while, this saint will use the blood of your Qin people to officially step into the realm of demon gods!st, I did have the idea of advancing to a higher level, but I wasn't sure about the specifics. Now that I hear what Brother Jiang has to say, I can proceed with confidence."Shen Changqing said.This is...
