Human Clan Defender

Chapter 1152: Chapter 170: Dao Arms Rank 12

The other party can even forget the power of the Qinglian Emperor, so it’s likely they wouldn’t be aware of the existence above the Divine Lord.

Besides.

Even if they find out, so what?

Such a Realm is still far beyond their reach.

Rumble!!

The void in front shattered, and a Chaos Divine Spirit stepped through the space, its face shapeless and filled with a savage aura.

Looking at the Chaos Divine Spirit before him, Shen Changqing furrowed his brow, not retreating but rather transforming his body into a colossal size, directly engaging in battle.

Ordinary Divine King Level Chaos Divine Spirits were not qualified to make him flee.

He must be able to slay them.

Obtaining the Rule Divine Stone inside is also a valuable treasure.

Within the Chaos.

Upon seeing the Chaos Divine Spirit, Qingyi couldn’t help but say: "If this old man isn’t mistaken, these are creatures born from the chaotic existence of rules in the void for too long."

"They have immense power, but it all originates from the power of rules."

"If you can slay them, you should be able to extract some strength crystallizations."

"If you can gather a large number of strength crystallizations, you might be able to directly open a Cave Heaven."

During the time in the Arid Valley.

Though there were occasional attacks from Chaos Divine Spirits,

those Chaos Divine Spirits could never break through the forbidden techniques set by the Qinglian Emperor, so he didn’t pay much attention to them.

But now it’s different.

In close proximity, Qingyi noticed the difference.

"Senior, are you saying there’s another way to open a Cave Heaven?"

While battling the Chaos Divine Spirit, Shen Changqing was distracted but managed to ask this question upon hearing the other party’s words.

Currently, he knows of only two methods to open a Cave Heaven, but neither can be achieved now.

Having a third method would save considerable time.

Moreover.

Once a Cave Heaven is successfully opened, his own strength would undergo a significant transformation.

In the Cave Heaven Realm.

There are three phases of significant transformation in terms of strength.

The first phase is completing a Middle Cycle.

The second phase is when all secret treasures are opened, transforming into a Chaos Dao Body.

Opening 129,599 secret treasures is almost no different from opening all 129,600 secret treasures, yet the difference is significant.

It can be said.

The former can almost rival an ordinary Heaven and Earth Divine King, but the latter can smash a Heaven and Earth Divine King with a single punch.

The third phase.

Is after opening a Cave Heaven.

From the Heaven and Earth Profound Technique, Shen Changqing understood that the first nine layers of the Cave Heaven Realm are merely laying the foundation, only by truly opening a Cave Heaven can one be said to have entered the hall of mastery.

Which is the Cave Heaven Realm.

Without the mastery of a Cave Heaven, how can one be worthy of the name Cave Heaven?

He had a premonition.

If he could open a Cave Heaven, not even a Universe Level Divine King could threaten him.

However—

As previously stated.

The requirements for opening a Cave Heaven are too stringent; Shen Changqing has yet to meet those requirements.

If Qingyi knows a third way, it would make it much easier.

As expected.

When his words fell,

Qingyi’s voice echoed in his mind from within the Chaos: "Opening a Cave Heaven isn’t that complicated. To put it plainly, it’s about using absolute power to cleave Chaos, much like the evolution of Heaven and Earth."

"The only question is, what kind of power is needed to cleave the Chaos."

"In All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, rules are supreme; you could say that the power of rules is the core foundation of constructing Heaven."

"If you can grasp even a fraction of the power of rules, you could use it to slice through Chaos and directly derive a Cave Heaven."

The power of rules!

Shen Changqing’s brow tightened.

Before he could inquire further, Qingyi continued.

"The creature before you contains weak rule power; if you can slay it and seize its strength crystallization, allow Chaos to absorb the energy and weak rules within."

"Over time, rules will naturally be birthed within the Chaos."

"Even if those rules are complex and chaotic, they’re sufficient as a blade to open a Cave Heaven, and as the master of Chaos, you wouldn’t need to worry about being unable to control such power."

Speaking to this extent.

Shen Changqing felt enlightened.

Understood!

It turns out there truly is a third method to open a Cave Heaven.

"About how many strength crystallizations need to be collected?"

"It’s hard to say. Given the strength of the creature before you, perhaps a hundred or so."

Qingyi replied uncertainly.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing’s heart sank slightly.

The strength crystallizations mentioned are clearly the Rule Divine Stones resulting from the fall of Chaos Divine Spirits.

The Chaos Divine Spirit before him is not weak, likely situated within the Sun and Moon Realm.

To open a Cave Heaven, one has to slay a hundred Chaos Divine Spirits at the Sun and Moon Realm, a difficulty not much lesser than gathering nine Vessels.

In fact,

gathering nine Vessels might be far less challenging than slaying a hundred Sun and Moon Divine Kings.

Fortunately.

Sun and Moon Divine King Level Chaos Divine Spirits differ from actual Sun and Moon Divine Kings.

The former lacks Spirit Intellect and seeks only to kill, residing within the Chaos Forbidden Zone, and as long as one’s strength suffices, they can be slain without involving the entangled affairs of races behind other Divine Kings.

This would pull on a delicate thread, leading to far more trouble.

Shen Changqing doesn’t doubt there are a hundred Chaos Divine Spirits in the Chaos Forbidden Zone, his only worry is whether he will be killed by a powerful Chaos Divine Spirit before he can slay a hundred of them.
