Human Clan Defender

Chapter 1176: Chapter 176: Peerless Sword Dao (Double Chapter)

Such a character, placed in the era of the Human Clan Imperial Court, would certainly be deemed a Proud Heaven."

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing’s heart gave a slight tremor.

He had transcended the realm of laws, grasping the power of rules.

No one understood better than him the extraordinary difficulty involved.

To say nothing else.

Since mastering the Star River Law, strictly speaking, he had made no significant progress, being able to grasp only twenty percent of the law, thanks to the conveniences borrowed from the panel.

Otherwise.

The Star River Law would still remain at ten percent.

In this, naturally, there was the factor of not having spent time and carefully comprehended.

However.

It also indirectly showed how difficult it was to make any progress with laws.

Even if he were to truly study with full concentration, Shen Changqing felt he had no idea how many years it would take to completely comprehend the Star River Law.

Looking at Zhongshan Xia.

The other not only mastered the law but also reached the level of rules.

More importantly.

This person had yet to step into the Divine King Realm.

Such being the case, it is all the more terrifying.

"He avoided entering the Divine Mandate Platform this time, choosing instead to enter the Chaos Forbidden Zone, seemingly to gather strength to enter the Divine Mandate Platform in truly full glory.

Even now, the Proud Heavens names on the Investiture of the Gods, who could gain Destiny Enhancement, by the time the Divine Mandate Platform opens again, might not have grown much.

With Zhongshan Xia’s strength, in the Investiture of the Gods, those who could be his match, I fear are not many!"

Shen Changqing’s gaze shifted imperceptibly.

He did not doubt Zhongshan Xia’s strength in being able to make a name on the Investiture of the Gods.

In the past.

He was not strong enough to truly understand this person’s power.

But now, even without a direct confrontation, from perception alone, it was clear how strong he was.

If he did not enter the Divine Mandate Platform, it was one thing.

Once he did, having his name there was inevitable.

The only question was, how high his rank would be.

While Shen Changqing speculated in his mind, Zhongshan Xia’s gaze fell upon the Soul-Hooking Divine King.

There was no way around it.

Shen Changqing borrowed the origin of the Blood Soul Clan, even the Divine Lord could not discern it, let alone a cultivator who had not even entered the Divine King Realm.

Therefore.

In the eyes of this Candle Sect Elder, the greatest current threat was the Soul-Hooking Divine King.

"Minghun Clan!"

Zhongshan Xia’s expression was indifferent, the sword on his back humming silently.

The Minghun Clan and the White Jade Clan were allied, equivalent to the Zhongshan Clan’s adversary.

Not long ago.

He received a message from the Zhongshan Clan.

Zhongshan Chou had fallen.

The White Jade Clan was annihilated.

The two factions, initially temporarily resting hostilities at the Divine Mandate Platform’s emergence, had now completely torn apart, with no room for any reconciliation.

On the other side.

Seeing the newcomer, the Soul-Hooking Divine King’s expression flickered: "Zhongshan Xia, never thought I’d meet you in the Chaos Forbidden Zone."

As he spoke, a hidden murderous intent emerged within him.

The Zhongshan Clan and the Minghun Clan were adversaries; with each increase in power by the former, it posed a significant threat to the latter.

Especially Zhongshan Xia, a renowned Proud Heaven of the Zhongshan Clan.

In terms of strength.

He could battle a Divine King with the existence of a Divine Realm.

Now encountering him in the Chaos Forbidden Zone, the Soul-Hooking Divine King had no intention of letting him retreat.

If he could slay him, the Zhongshan Clan would lose another Proud Heaven.

Simultaneously.

He wasn’t worried Zhongshan Xia could threaten him.

After all, the Divine Realm battling a Divine King only contended with a Heaven and Earth Divine King, while he was a Sun and Moon Divine King; why would he fear a mere Divine Realm cultivator?

With such thoughts, the Soul-Hooking Divine King had already locked onto him with his Qi Mechanism, a cold, intense smile appearing on his face: "Pity, your luck ultimately isn’t good, meeting me in this place.

Have any last words?"

"Last words?"

Zhongshan Xia’s eyes flashed brightly.

As an ordinary person, he raised his hand to grip the sword hilt on his back, drawing the long sword inch by inch from its sheath, with the deep reverberating sword resonance slowly echoing in the desolate void.

The sensation made the Soul-Hooking Divine King’s expression change.

Just as he intended to act immediately, Zhongshan Xia’s sword suddenly unsheathed, a dim sword glow emerging in the void, tearing it apart like a curtain, silently and quietly.

As the surrounding chaotic rules vibrated, they transformed into Rule Gang Wind, sweeping across the void.

As the long sword descended, the boundless Rule Gang Wind blotted out the sky, causing the Soul-Hooking Divine King’s heart to surge with violent warnings.

He had not even the time to wonder why a Divine Realm could pose such a threat to him.

Divine Power exploded.

When he struck with his palm, the vast majestic power, resembling the overturning of mountains and seas, filled space within a million miles, pressing fiercely toward Zhongshan Xia.

In the next breath.

Two forces collided.

In the instant the Rule Gang Wind shattered, the long sword erupted with unavoidable sharpness, forcibly tearing through the Divine Power.

Seeing this.

The Soul-Hooking Divine King did not retreat, layers of Divine Power surged forth, forming a shield in front of him.

The long sword pierced through the shield.

But after cleaving through several shields, the sword momentum was completely depleted.

However.

At the moment the sword momentum was exhausted, Zhongshan Xia stepped forward, right hand gripping the sword as it swung again, the tearing, earth-splitting Sword Qi occupying the void, a Senluo Sword Domain abruptly descending.
