Chapters Forty-five to Forty-six: The Fall of the Emperor
reat, its scarlet eyes brimming with murderous intent. A monstrous, inhuman roar erupted from its mouth, and a powerful necromantic force surged forth, engulfing the void in a swirling black mist."Boo...Heaven and earth plunged into darkness for a fleeting moment.
When it was finally bright again, all creatures had been devoured by the abyss of darkness.
Looking at the increasing battle merits on his medal, Shen Changqing nodded in satisfaction. Then, without entering the city to loot any war spoils, he took out his chasing empty shuttle and left again.
Now I have a specific goal.
He acted much faster than before, and he no longer targeted cities with mediocre defenses.
Whatever he could handle, he never let it go.
Meanwhile.
Even Shen Changqing could feel it.
Behind him, there were quite a few strong warriors from the Kui Niu clan chasing after him.
Although the strong pursuers, they were still far behind the five-rank Dao Soldiers in terms of speed. There was no possibility of catching up.
I don't know how long ago it was.
The fleeing pursuer's airship suddenly stopped, and the pursuing breath behind it disappeared. Apparently, those strong individuals had given up.
Such is the case.
There is the merit of the Chariot of the Void, and there is also the merit of the Qilin Clan for the vastness of heaven and earth.
If this were the mortal realm, a mid-stage Divine Realm expert wanting to cross realms would be a mere blink of an eye. There wouldn't even be any room for maneuver. As long as they remained within the boundaries of the realm, even with more powerful divine soldiers, there was no possibility of escaping pursuit.
>
After all.
The world is just that big.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Where else can you run to
The Kuiniu clan's world was vast, several times larger than the human race's. This provided them with ample space to escape their pursuers.
Especially now that the disciples of the Zhúzong are attacking all over the place, the strong members of the Qíuniu clan are unable to attend to both ends, and there is no way to keep up relentlessly.
Stow the space shuttle.
Shen Changqing looked down at the mountains.
"What a strong aura!"
This world is full of spiritual energy, but compared to the ancient continent, it is far inferior.
You can find the mountain range here.
He could feel that although the spiritual energy here was still not as strong as in the ancient continent, it was almost the same.
It is obvious.
This is a test.
In the mountains, there must be spiritual veins.
The heart of the spirit vein!
Shen Changqing's eyes fluctuated slightly.
He suddenly realized that he had been ignoring something all along.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That is——
Entering this place should not be focused on killing the strong of the Kui Niu clan, but rather on excavating spiritual veins.
On the ancient continent, excavating spiritual veins was strictly forbidden by all celestial races.
This is the limit.
In other realms, however, it does not exist.
In other words.
The Qilin Ox clan possesses the spiritual veins of the world, which they can freely excavate.
In a vast expanse of the world, even though the number of spiritual veins may not be abundant, it is certainly not insignificant.
Besides the Spirit Pulse Heart, the Qilin Ox clan also possesses Dragon Veins. If I could excavate the Dragon Vein Heart here, it would save me a lot of effort.
Shen Changqing thought to himself.
He wasn't worried that the Dragon Heart would be forcibly taken by the Candle Sect once it was unearthed.
As a direct disciple.
Keeping one's own spoils is still no problem.
Moreover, the Zhuzong family was influential and prosperous. Although the Dragon Pulse Heart was precious, it wouldn't cause them to lose face by forcibly seizing it.
However.
This also has a premise.
That is the Dragon's Vein Heart, it must be obtained by oneself. Otherwise, even if one were to be a direct disciple, there would be no way to obtain the Dragon's Vein Heart.
During Shen Changqing's stay.
Suddenly, a powerful surge erupted from the mountains below.
Immediately.
Then there was a clap of thunder.
Reach out.
Shen Changqing directly crushed the thunderbolt, his eyes indifferent as he looked at the source of the attack.
There.
>
A god-realm expert with a pale complexion, seemed to have seen some terrifying existence.
It's obvious.
This divine realm's attack, only treated him as an ordinary invader. It never expected his strength to be so formidable, capable of crushing such powerful attacks with bare hands.
"You're asking for death!"
Shen Changqing's face remained calm.
The spiritual energy here is extremely concentrated, so naturally, a powerful being occupies this place.
Just like the human race, countless races across the heavens possess complex internal power structures and numerous sects.
The clan currently occupying this mountain range is clearly a branch of the Kui Niu family.
There is a divine realm overseeing this.
>
Its strength should be considered not weak.
Just.
Before him, a cultivator at the initial stage of the divine realm posed no threat.
A palm strike was unleashed.
The divine powers of the palm are unfolded.
The divine realm expert's face paled in terror, wanting to escape the attack range, but found that everything had been imprisoned.
Finally.
I could only watch helplessly as that palm strike came down.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Boom boom boom!!
The mountain collapsed, and the earth sank.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The God Realm and the sect behind it were directly swallowed up by this palm.
When the power dissipated, only to see the mountain range below transformed. A gigantic palm print, as if formed naturally, was deeply imprinted there.
As for the beings that once existed there, they have long since vanished.
Without looking at his war merit medals, Shen Changqing could tell that they had definitely increased.
>
However.
Let me know if you have other text to translate!
He didn't care much.
Compared to the achievement of the Spirit Vein Heart, this is nothing at all.
From this rich spiritual energy, one can sense that there is at least a medium-sized spiritual vein here.
The heart of a medium spirit vein.
>
The price is one thousand divine crystals.
In terms of military merit, this is equivalent to one thousand points of merit, more useful than killing a hundred God Crystal First-Rank warriors.
"As expected!"
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Killing the strong is not the main objective, plundering the resources of the Qilin clan is the real thing to do.”
Shen Changqing took a step forward, vanishing from mid-air, and almost at the same time, he landed on the ground.
Divine consciousness expands.
It didn't take long to find the source of the spiritual energy.
In a moment's respite.
A powerful force erupted, causing the ground to crack and crumble upon impact.
The ground tore.
A massive amount of spiritual energy surged out from within.
A rich azure hue was already appearing before his eyes.
Spirit vein!
Shen Changqing did not hesitate, and directly followed the cracked earth into the spiritual vein.
He ignored the spirit stones sealed within the surrounding crystalline barriers, and walked straight towards the core of the spiritual vein.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Not long after.
... has already found the core of the spiritual vein.
Looking at the cyan stone, Shen Changqing directly made his move, effortlessly shattering the crystal wall and taking out the spirit vein's core. He then tossed it directly into his storage ring.
Boom!!
In the void.
Zhong Shanxia held a sword in one hand, its sword qi tearing heaven and earth apart, causing the ten thousand li of emptiness to transform into a domain of blades.
However.
The Kuai Huang single-handedly held up the Divine Nation to suppress it, causing all thousands of sword qi to be extinguished.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Although the opponent is only half a step away from becoming a god king, he has successfully condensed his divine kingdom and governs it by suppressing it. In the realm of gods, there are few who can match him.
However.
Zhong Shanxia was powerful, even facing the might of the Divine Country, he did not fall behind in the slightest. His sharp sword qi slashed upon the Divine Country, leaving almost indelible marks.
>On the other side.
The Gui drum and the Di lu chime are still battling each other.
The power displayed by the two seventh-grade Dao soldiers was even more terrifying than when Zhongshan Xia and Kuihuang fought.
The bell's sound echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
The drums sounded like thunder.
In the void.
Both sides manifested powerful phantoms, each wielding their true forms to battle.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Damn it!
Once again, the Divine Kingdom repelled the onslaught. Kui Huang's eyes were cold and terrifying.
He thought that with his semi-god king strength, suppressing a mere Xia Zhongshen would be no problem at all.
> Unexpectedly.
This skill is actually incredibly powerful.
Facing a half-step God King with his divine realm complete, he held his own without yielding an inch.
After a long battle.
It's really hard to say who will win or lose.
And.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
In Kui Huang's perception, he could clearly know that the souls of the Kui Niu clan were falling. If he delayed any longer, even if he repelled the Zhong Shan clan, his own race would suffer greatly.
That way.
The Kua Niu clan's millennia of accumulation were about to be destroyed utterly.
As soon as I thought of this.
A grim look appeared on his face.
“Zhong Shanxia, this is forcing the emperor's hand! Today, the emperor will bury all of you here, so that your Zhong Shan clan understands that my Kui Niu clan is not someone to be trifled with!”
In the void, Kuihuang directly manifested his true form, the body of a Kui Niu clan member.
Thousands of feet tall, the one-legged Qilin beast presses down on the void.
>Then.
As soon as I saw it, the Qi of the Kui Niu clan seemed to be pulled by some force, and began to frantically gather towards each other.
Suddenly.
Kui Huang's aura surged.
The originally not very solid divine realm was also completely materialized at this moment.
Looking at the other person's change, Zhong Shanxia's face grew serious.
The Kui Emperor was already a demigod, and now, by borrowing the nation's fortune, although his realm hadn't reached that of a true God King, his power had become almost as formidable as that of a Heaven-Earth God King.
Thus concludes the result.
He had expected it.
At once.
Zhong Shan Xia sank his heart.
A divine fire in the sea of consciousness trembled, a vast and profound sword intent rising from within. It instantly surged through the sea of consciousness, causing heaven and earth to tremble slightly.
Sword intent surges to the heavens.
His face turned pale, his body stood there, yet it seemed to transform into an unparalleled divine weapon. An awe-inspiring sharpness emanated from him, causing the void itself to shatter inch by inch.
One hand grasps a sword.
The boundless sword intent was poured into it.
The next instant.
The longsword slashed forward.
A simple strike, as if it could divide the heavens and earth, yin and yang, and seem to cleave through all ten thousand realms.
in an instant.
A powerful sense of threat surged through Kui Huang's heart, but he showed no fear. As his surging power merged into the Divine Kingdom, he pressed forward to suppress the opponent.
Boom—
The long sword savagely slashed down on the divine nation.
That was like a sword that could cleave through the heavens and myriad realms, even the Divine Kingdom couldn't withstand it.
Here's the translation, keeping only the text and HTML tags:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Before the astonished eyes of Emperor Kui, his divine kingdom, which he had painstakingly formed, suddenly showed cracks. These cracks then spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Once a certain threshold is reached.
The kingdom of God shattered into pieces.
Pfft!
The divine kingdom shattered, and the overwhelming backlash force caused Kui Huang to cough up blood. At the same time, his aura plummeted from its peak.
On the other side.
The longsword, after cleaving the divine kingdom asunder, still possessed momentum. It slashed towards the thousand-zhang qilin.
A moment.
The picture froze there.
A thousand-zhang skull plummeted from the void, its divine blood staining the heavens.
The strong warriors of the Kui Niu clan all turned pale upon seeing this scene.
"Your Majesty!"
The Kuai Huang has fallen!
The Kuainiu clan's Qiyun, the Kuaishang Emperor, who was not inferior to a Divine King, had fallen. He had been slain with a single sword strike.
in an instant.
Their eyes widened in astonishment as they looked at Xia Zhongshan.
If the opponent were a God King, killing Emperor Kui wouldn't be this shocking.
However.
The other party is not.
Not only is he not a God King, but he's not even half a step away from becoming one.
Therefore.
That was something even the strong members of the Qilin clan found hard to accept.
Achieving godhood to perfection, he beheaded the God-King!
Such a record of achievements.
If it were to spread, it would surely shock all races in the heavens and on earth.
>
As for the shock of the Kui Niu clan, Zhong Shanxia had no time to pay attention.
The forceful strike of that sword had reduced his divine fire to its weakest point. On the surface, it appeared as if nothing had happened, but in reality, he was left with little fighting power remaining.
However.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Emperor Kui has fallen.
With the strongest being of the Qilin clan gone, many problems will be alleviated.
Draw!
Madly absorbing the beliefs stored in the sea of consciousness.
Those beliefs that have not been purified of impurities will be largely consumed by the invisible forces as they are absorbed frantically. It's a great waste.
However.
Even in the summer heat of Zhōngshān, he couldn't be bothered with anything else.
The battle is not yet over. If we don't allow ourselves to recover, we risk failing in our mission.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
I saw his status.
In an instant.
A powerful warrior from the Qilin tribe discovered the clue.
“He was exhausted and drained, kill him and avenge our emperor!”
Let out a roar.
Only a thousand-zhang Qilin ox was seen trampling the void, with a deafening roar from its mouth. The surrounding void instantly solidified, and countless destructive thunders appeared suddenly.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Looking at the incoming attack, Zhong Shanxia's brows furrowed slightly.
He moved his arm, about to strike with a sword.
Suddenly.
>
The void beside him ripped open, a brilliant sword light piercing the air and directly obliterating all the thunder. The colossal form of the Qilin Ox was forced to retreat.
Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!
"Elder Xia, I will handle this here."
A tranquil voice echoed out, and Kong Zhou from Mount Zhōng was already there.
The white long robe was stained with blood. One hand held a bull's head that resembled a small mountain, clearly having just slain a powerful member of the Qilin ox clan.
After it appears.
He threw the ox head in his hand toward the strongest warrior of the Qilin clan.
A skull resembling a mountain range, with unparalleled power crashing down, shattered the void like a mirror.
"Die!"
As he watched the heads of his own kind being thrown at him, the powerful warrior's eyes widened in fury.
A clap of thunder struck, instantly shattering the skull.
A thousand-zhang tall body rose into the air, its single leg directly pressing down.
Zhong Shan Kong Zhou saw this, his expression unchanged. The long sword in his hand drew an arc, its cold blade light reflecting the void, blooming with the beauty of death.
"Kill!"
"Kill him!"
A terrifying thunder roared, accompanied by a red serpentine body shattering. A Divine Realm cultivator from the Candle Sect let out a resentful scream before being completely engulfed by the thunder.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Senior brother!"
The disciples of the Zhú Zong who were already engaged in a fierce battle with other divine realm experts saw this scene and their faces changed drastically.
But.
He wanted to make a move, but he was completely unable to.
>
Looking back on the entire match.
Several other fellow disciples were all entangled by their respective opponents, unable to free themselves.
Seeing the opponent fall.
This disciple's mind had already sunk deep.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
I'm defeated!
That's a complete disaster!
They had originally planned to attack the city of the Qilin race together. Relying on their own strength, they destroyed the city with lightning speed and killed the powerful warriors within it.
At the beginning, I did succeed a few times.
...To my surprise.
The Kui Niu clan was incredibly quick to react.
Before long, an ambush was set, and they were all surrounded.
Up to now.
It is already the God Realm of the Candle Sect that has fallen.
If this continues, there won't be any chance of survival for me either.
I want to live.
Only by breaking out of the encirclement can we succeed.
But —
Surrounded by numerous powerful Qilin Clan warriors, he ultimately abandoned his plan.
Speaking of the number of strong individuals.
The other party is several times that of one's own.
"Fellow brothers and sisters, I'm leaving first!"
Understanding there was no way out, the disciple of the Candle Sect roared in anger. His aura surged wildly, reaching a critical point in an instant.
“Oh no!”
"Retreat, he's going to self-destruct!"
Several gods of the Kui Niu clan saw this scene, and their faces changed.
Without a second thought.
They then retreated to other locations.
Divine Realm Self-Destruction!
For opponents of equal strength, this is a devastating attack.
It was at that moment.
A terrifying oppressive force crushed down from the void. Two God Realm Qilin Clan members, caught off guard, were abruptly grasped by a giant hand.
Then.
In the astonished gazes of the gods from both clans, the two Divine Realm powerhouses from the Qilin Bull clan were directly crushed into pieces.
The physical body is shattered.
Here's the translation, keeping HTML tags intact:

The soul fled, wanting to escape to the distance.
Before they could escape, a seal fell from the sky, and the two souls were instantly obliterated.
"That's——the Heaven in the Palm, Brother Qiu has arrived!"
The disciple who had originally wanted to self-destruct, seeing this scene, immediately stopped his self-destruction and a look of surprise and relief washed over his face.
All Heavens in the Palm!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
This divine ability was very unfamiliar to the disciples of the Zhú Sect in the past.
But after Shen Changqing's victory over the two grand disciples, the divine ability of "Palm Holding Heaven" became well-known among the disciples of Zhuzong.
Upon seeing this divine ability once again, I immediately recognized it.
As expected.
When two divine realms completely collapsed, Shen Changqing had quietly appeared there.
>
“Brother Qiu!”
When they saw the arrival, the remaining disciples of the Zhúzōng Sect remained calm.
The direct disciple is exceptionally skilled himself.
Especially when he first appeared, he utterly crushed two gods with his overwhelming power, which was incredibly intimidating.
> Kill the enemy first, and then talk!
Shen Changqing glanced at several disciples of the Candle Sect, finally fixing his gaze on the divine realm of the Qilin Clan.
With a gaping maw, a gale erupted.
When he made his move, the other disciples of the Zhúzong were all invigorated, unleashing 120% of their power to fight the enemy.
"Fall back!"
When the Qilin clan saw this, they all chose to retreat first.
There's no way.
Shen Changqing's displayed strength was too formidable. He killed two Divine Realm cultivators with a single move. This kind of power was clearly not something ordinary Divine Realm cultivators could withstand.
To deal with such powerful beings, one must at least reach the later stages of the Divine Realm.
It's just.
The current situation is not one that they can simply choose to withdraw from.
One hand reached out.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The vast expanse of heaven and earth seemed to be encompassed within a single palm, leaving no room for escape. Even the divine realm's beings, no matter how they tried to flee, were powerless against its grasp.
The heavens in the palm of your hand!
The content within the > tags is empty. Therefore, there's nothing to translate. If you have any other text you'd like me to translate, please provide it!
Facing cultivators weaker than oneself, this is a sure-kill weapon.
With all forces united, there is nowhere to escape.
Boom!
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Space power squeezed, one by one divine realm physiques burst open.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Some of the Kui Niu clan, seeing no hope of escape in their divine realm, chose to self-destruct. The explosive waves shattered the void, causing even the perfect defenses woven by divine powers to waver.
However.
As long as the divine power hasn't vanished, Shen Changqing's eyes turned cold. He gathered all his strength, causing the divine power to not weaken but instead increase. The immense pressure directly erupted.
Boom—
>
Under the divine power's coverage, all deities fell.
Whether it be the flesh or the soul, there was no chance of survival under that power.
By the time the divine powers dissipated, several gods from the Kui Niu clan had vanished without a trace.
This scene.
In the eyes of the disciples of the Zhúzōng, morale soared even further.
However.
After slaying several divine realms in one go, Shen Changqing didn't make any further moves.
On the surface, he didn't show anything, but in fact, forcefully killing several gods at once was also quite a drain on him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After all, although divine powers are powerful, their consumption is also great.
Not to mention.
Within several realms, there is also an existence at the level of the fourth heaven.
The divine fire burns.
Continuously drawing strength from faith to recover oneself.
After a few breaths.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Shen Changqing replenished his reserves and made another move, charging towards one of the escaping deities.
Less than half an hour.
The battle is over.
Of the thirteen divine realms of the Qilin clan, twelve have fallen, with only one realm heavily wounded and having fled.
At this point.
Several disciples of the Zhuzong, bearing wounds on their bodies, came before Shen Changqing and bowed respectfully.
"Many thanks, Brother He, for your timely help. Otherwise, we would have perished here."
They had a look of gratitude on their faces.
What he said is all true.
After all, given the current situation, if the other party doesn't make a move, they wouldn't have stood a chance of surviving.
>
Upon hearing this.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing's face was calm: "You and I are both disciples of the Zhú Zong. It is our duty to help each other. Right now, a god realm expert has escaped, and it is likely that other powerful figures from the Qí Niú clan will arrive soon. Let's leave first and talk later!"
That's all.
He took a step forward and vanished into thin air.
Upon seeing this.
Several disciples of the Zhuzong looked at each other, wanting to say something more, but seeing that Shen Changqing was gone without a trace, they could only turn and leave.
The senior brother Qiu is right.
With so many divine realms falling here, the Qilin clan certainly won't give up.
Leave first.
That's the safest way to go.
This is a test of the translation system.
Otherwise, if a powerful divine realm late-stage expert comes, they will all be defeated here.
On the other side.
After Shen Changqing left, he was already on his way to the next location.
"Where exactly is the dragon vein Why can't I find it no matter how hard I search!"
Void-walking, his divine sense constantly expanded outwards, trying to locate the dragon veins.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Along the way.
Even seeing the presence of spirit veins, Shen Changqing did not stop mining the heart of the spirit vein.
Just the other day.
He has already received the news of Kuihuang's demise.
Although shocked by Zhongshan Xia's strength, the fall of Kui Huang indicated that the Zhongshan clan had gained a dominant advantage. It was likely only a matter of time before they completely conquered the Kuiniu tribe.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
By then, the dragon vein would belong to the Zhōng Shān clan.
Therefore.
To obtain the Dragon's Heart, one must locate the Dragon Vein before the Zhōng Shān clan completely conquers the Kuí Niú tribe.aks off and takes root in the ground.A large amount of fairy power was continuously devoured by Jianmu's broken branches, and then wisps of fairy power were fed back out by Jianmu's broken branches.Al...
