Human Clan Defender-Chapter 657 - s Great Qin’s Concerns, Refinement of Divine Spirit Blood (Four-in-One, Request for Monthly Ticket)_7

"With Defender Shen in place, it won't matter if it's a few years more or a few years less." He looked at Shen Changqing with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Shen Changqing understood the other party's implication. It was nothing more than the Demon-Subduing Division having to take charge of the situation themselves should any problems arise.

To be honest, having reached his status today, he no longer had any aspirations for the position of Dominator of the Demon-Subduing Division. Even if he became the Dominator, power would still be just that—power. The title of Dominator could not overshadow his status as the Great Qin Defender.

However, if Dongfang Zhao truly perished and there was no one to lead the Demon-Subduing Division, then Shen Changqing would not refuse to step in. After all, he was a member of the Demon-Subduing Division. Watching the Demon-Subduing Division fall apart was not something he desired.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuanzheng was about to say something, but Dongfang Zhao stopped him with a raised hand. "There's no need for further words. I have made my decision. I am the Dominator of the Demon-Subduing Division, and you, Zhou Yuanzheng, should just stay put." He asserted his authority outright.

Despite the reluctance in Zhou Yuanzheng's heart, he had no choice but to acquiesce. Equal discourse on ordinary matters posed no problem, but when the other party asserted their identity, equal conversation was no longer possible. To oppose was tantamount to disobedience.

Shen Changqing looked at him with a solemn expression. "Has Defender Dongfang really made up his mind?"

"Of course," Dongfang Zhao nodded.

With Dongfang Zhao's affirmation, Shen Changqing did not try to persuade him any further. "If you are going to use the Divine Spirit Blood, it's best to choose a relatively quiet place to avoid any accidents."

"That's an easy matter."

「In the secret chamber.」

Dongfang Zhao was seated cross-legged on a cushion, while Zhou Yuanzheng stood to one side. Shen Changqing looked at Dongfang Zhao before him and then opened the jade box in his hands.

BOOM!!

A divine aura burst forth from the jade box instantly. The terrifying power made the space silently fracture. He directly released his own power onto the Divine Spirit Blood, suppressing the erupting aura. The fractured space was restored, but the look in Zhou Yuanzheng's eyes as he stared at the Divine Spirit Blood had completely changed.

A drop of blood, able to shatter space with its mere aura, hinted at its true strength. As for the owner of the blood, the Barbarian God, his fearsome power must be even more evident. By comparison, my own strength is far too inferior.

Not only was Zhou Yuanzheng shocked, but even Dongfang Zhao's face was full of emotion and surprise. "Divine Spirits are indeed formidable. This blood alone is proof of that. It's hard to imagine how mighty a Divine Spirit would be in their prime." While speaking, his gaze fell upon Shen Changqing.

The Divine Spirit Blood reflected the power of the Barbarian God, and the fact that Shen Changqing could intercept the Barbarian God also demonstrated his power. The strength of this Great Qin Defender was much greater than it had been at Fallen Saint Pass. His rate of progress is truly astonishing.

Ignoring their expressions, Shen Changqing's Divine Sense settled on the Divine Spirit Blood. Following the Barbarian God's words, he began to slice the blood bit by bit. A drop of Divine Spirit Blood could be used by a hundred Defender Envoys. I can't confirm the truth of this yet, so I can only follow his words and divide the Divine Spirit Blood into a hundred portions first. The power of the blood was formidable, but Shen Changqing's power was also exceedingly potent. Therefore, splitting the Divine Spirit Blood was not a difficult task.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a drop of Divine Spirit Blood was directly divided into a hundred portions. Visually, the Divine Spirit Blood in the jade box seemed unchanged. But if observed with Divine Sense, one could see that the apparently whole Divine Spirit Blood had, in fact, been divided into numerous tiny entities.

Immediately after, Shen Changqing's Divine Sense maneuvered a portion of the Divine Spirit Blood out and brought it before Dongfang Zhao. "Defender Dongfang, concentrate your mind and fully commit to the Refinement of the Divine Spirit Blood."

"Right." Dongfang Zhao, with a grave expression, gazed at the Divine Spirit Blood floating before him and swallowed it directly.

The Divine Spirit Blood fell into his stomach. In an instant, a terrifying power erupted from within his Flesh. In a flash, Dongfang Zhao's body trembled violently, and a black aura ascended as if a slumbering Demon God had been awakened. Very soon, within the black aura, a golden light emerged. Compared to the sinister black aura, the golden light was filled with a sacred presence.

Shen Changqing was constantly attentive to Dongfang Zhao's changes. When he saw the golden light, he understood that it was the power unique to Divine Spirit Blood. The black represented the power of the Defender Envoy; the gold represented the power of Divine Spirit Blood. Both powers were battling within Dongfang Zhao's Flesh.

"Defender Shen, do you think he can succeed?" Zhou Yuanzheng's grave voice came.

Shen Changqing's gaze remained steady, and he shook his head slightly. "I cannot be certain if he can succeed, but it is evident that the Divine Spirit Blood is indeed effective. The source of a Defender Envoy's power is said to originate from what is called Spirit Blood. Plainly speaking, Spirit Blood is a fusion of Demon's Power and Human Clan's power. Within it, the Demon's Power is the majority. That is why the power of a Defender Envoy leans towards evil. This evil power is the root cause of your backlash."

Such power has already completely merged with the Defender Envoy himself and is not so easy to eliminate. If one attempts to forcibly remove it, it will only damage their foundation. In that case, they would perish prematurely. But now it is different. After Dongfang Zhao ingested the Divine Spirit Blood, it began to gradually erode that evil force. This was akin to slowly replacing his Origin, rather than forcibly discarding it. In this way, the chances of success are very high.

After observing for only a moment, Shen Changqing gradually understood Dongfang Zhao's condition. The Barbarian God didn't deceive me. Divine Spirit Blood can indeed eliminate the hidden danger of a Defender Envoy. Only— Defender Dongfang's power is too strong. One portion of Divine Spirit Blood seems hopeless in resolving his hidden danger; he must consume more.

After a long time, Shen Changqing's expression was calm. With a thought, another portion of Divine Spirit Blood stored in the jade box was drawn out, flying towards Dongfang Zhao. Dongfang Zhao's eyes were tightly closed, seemingly oblivious to the outside world. But as the Divine Spirit Blood was about to arrive, he managed to consume it at just the right moment. After ingesting another portion of Divine Spirit Blood, the golden light, which had already dimmed considerably, now flared up intensely once more. The one-sided clash evolved into an evenly matched fight.

"Hmm, it seems he's started to utilize my blood!" When the Divine Spirit Blood was being cut, the Barbarian God sensed it. It's my own blood; any change to it would cause a certain reaction. Looking towards the direction of Great Qin, this Divine Spirit of the Barbarian Clan appeared calm.

"After Ancient Times, Heaven and Earth have declined to such a degree. Using the power of Demon Evil, a method insignificant during Ancient Times, has now become the main way for the Human Clan to combat Demon Evil. The impact of the severed Ancestral Vein is truly not small!" Muttering to himself, he looked up towards the Firmament. The vast Qingming seemed unable to block his sight. There, it appeared, was the existence of a Heaven and Earth Passage.

After a long while, the Barbarian God withdrew his gaze. "Right now, I still need to concentrate on recuperating. I'm afraid the restrictions of the Heaven and Earth Passage won't last much longer. Once the Demon Evil Clan descends, with the current strength of the Human Clan, annihilation is but an instant away."

The Human Clan is too weak. Although Shen Changqing's strength is quite impressive, within the Human Clan, there is only one Shen Changqing. Not counting him, in the vast Human Clan, there isn't a single powerhouse who can stand out. To me, this is simply inconceivable. There was a time when the Human Clan of Ancient Times, teeming with strong figures, declined to this state. If this continues, they could be extinguished at any moment. As a strong figure of the Human Clan, I do not wish to see the day come when the Human Clan reaches the end of its road.
