Chapter 174 Caught

he finished did he speak.>Qi changes.It's certain that it won't escape the notice of others.In this day and age where spiritual energy is dwindling, there's a place brimming with it, yet it remains u...In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, there stood a divine mountain that spanned the void. The intense aura transformed into a yellow cloud, illuminating the mountain as if it were a blessed land of immortals.

Suddenly.

Huang Yun trembled violently.

Please note: The original content was empty. I have only kept the HTML tag as requested.

The solid, tangible God Mountain seemed to have been struck by a powerful force. The majestic mountain became somewhat illusory.

At this moment, all the cultivators of the Du Shan clan felt a wave of sadness wash over them.

Oh, Great God!

It's over!

"Who dares to kill my Dushan clan's God King!"

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Shansheng's eyes blazed red, and an unyielding fury surged within him.

It's over!

Liu Yuanshen King has fallen!

As the only Universe God King of the Du Shan clan, in today's world of great contention, he will almost certainly become a Rule God King in the future.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

...among the clans.

The Rule Sovereign is the top tier.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Any clan that can produce an extra Rule God is a powerful force to be reckoned with for other clans.

However.

But at this time, Lord Yan Yuan fell.

All in all.

Now, there are already two fallen God Kings among the Dushan clan.

A statue of the Sun and Moon God King.

A god-king of the cosmos.

Even though the Dushan clan was powerful and wealthy, losing two divine kings within a dozen or so years was too much to bear.

"Liu Yuanshen King's strength isn't weak. Even in the perilous Chaos Forbidden Zone, it's unlikely he would have fallen so easily. Could there be other powerful individuals involved"

The Mountain Emperor's eyes were cold.

While he was undoubtedly furious at the fall of Lord Yuanyuan, it is also worth considering whether other forces might have been behind his demise.

The Era of Great Strife.

Any force walks on thin ice.

Don't even talk about clans, not even those divine ones. In this situation, a single misstep could lead to their annihilation.

From the records of the Du Shan clan.

In times of great upheaval, the destruction of divine races was not uncommon.

Of course.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

With the fall of the old races of gods, new races of gods inevitably arise.

Very soon.

Shan Huang immediately thought of the Zhong Shan clan.

>

The clan most likely to take action against the Dushan clan right now is the Zhongshan clan.

After all.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Not long ago, he personally ambushed the Tianjiao of the Zhongshan clan, and afterwards, because of this incident, the Baiyu clan was destroyed.

You can say.

The destruction of the Baiyu clan served as a warning to all other clans.

If it truly is the Zhong Shan clan, this score, I shall settle with you all!

The Mountain Emperor's killing intent swelled in his heart.

>

Though he harbored murderous intentions, what he needed to do at the moment was stabilize the situation within the Dushan clan.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Up to this day.

There are already few Divine Kings within the clan.

If the strength of the Dushan clan was considered upper-middle class within the clan before, then now, they can only barely make it to the middle class.

Keeping an eye on the power of the Dushan Clan isn't as simple as just looking at the Zushan Clan.

Every clan's problems are complex and intertwined. Any weakening at any time could result in irreparable damage.

“The divine king Liu Yuanshen of the Dushan Clan has fallen!”

In the vast emptiness, a divine lord of the Divine Race gazed towards the direction of the Chaotic Restricted Zone, wanting to see the scene inside completely, but was obstructed by the disordered rules.

Upon hearing this.

The White Emperor said indifferently, “It’s normal for a divine king to fall in the Chaotic Zone. The Divine King of the Shan clan was only at the universe level. It's not impossible for him to die at the hands of chaotic spirits.”

Now, the most important thing is to find the whereabouts of the human race. Everything else doesn't matter.

In the eyes of the deity.

Though the God King is not an ant, losing a half-god is not a big problem.

The death of the Te Special Dushan clan is of no consequence, even if it were to perish completely. It's not the God King of the Huan Shan clan after all.

What he truly cared about was the whereabouts of the humans hiding in the chaotic restricted zone.

“Though that human race may possess means to conceal their celestial mechanisms, judging from the Dao-Destruction Rule, their strength is not particularly formidable. Even if they have some peculiar methods to veil the heavens, it is utterly impossible to obstruct our calculations.”

>

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

There must be other powerful people behind this.

The White Emperor, having said this, swept his golden gaze over each of the divine kings present.

“Possessing the strength to veil even the probing of a Divine Master, if not for this chaotic incursion into the Great Strife era, we would have almost been unable to calculate it. Such experts who can wield such means are at least top-tier Divine Masters.”

So what I truly fear is not the human race itself, but the powerful beings that may lurk behind them.

The power behind the human race!

Upon hearing this, the faces of the other deities all involuntarily darkened.

A solemn voice boomed, “Back then when the Human Emperor Court collapsed, all powerful Humans perished. The Demonic Annihilation Rule unique to Humans vanished without a trace. It's impossible for any Human powerhouse to exist now.”

After all, if there were any powerful human beings alive, there would certainly be rules to eliminate them.

In that case, how could it possibly escape our notice

Some deities slightly nodded their heads.

Not bad.

>

If there are truly strong individuals behind the human race, they wouldn't remain completely hidden.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

When Baihuang first mentioned this, they were still a little shaken.

At the end of the day.

Although not all of the gods present were fully aware of the power of the Human Emperor Court back then, half of them understood it.

However, the Human Imperial Court was something from tens of millions of years ago. Only those old-established Divine Races could truly understand it. As for those newly promoted Divine Races, there was no possibility of understanding it.

The ancient emperor's face was icy cold: "The imperial court collapsed, and the strong human race had already been slaughtered by our myriad celestial races. How could there be any survivors left This is impossible."

“I didn’t say that the powerful figures behind the human race are necessarily human powerhouses.”

The White Emperor shook his head slightly.

He looked at the other deities, his face cold.

Tens of millions of years ago, when countless races besieged the imperial court, everyone was truly united. But now, countless ages have passed, and what each race thinks is hard to say.

And— "

The White Emperor's expression was more serious than ever before.

"We determine whether the Human Race exists based solely on the Annihilation Rule. If any Human deviates from the path of their ancestors and instead adopts the system of our myriad heavenly clans, would you even be able to perceive it"

>

As soon as these words were spoken, many powerful figures' faces changed color.

Both of the guesses Bai Huang made are possible.

If the former is the case, it can only mean that there are traitors among all races in heaven and earth who want to secretly help the human race. But the human imperial court has been destroyed. Even if they have any ideas, it will be difficult to achieve anything significant.

But if it's the latter, things become rather serious.

“Among all the races, it is unlikely that anyone will help the human race. After all, when the human race was besieged in the past, all the races of heaven and earth participated. Those who wanted to stay out of it or help the human race have already perished with the disappearance of the imperial court.”

In my opinion, it stands to reason that there are still strong humans living in the world.

Back then, it was no easy feat for the human race to suppress the powerful forces of heaven. To completely eradicate them would have been a monumental challenge.

Since the fall of the imperial court, there have been times when powerful human beings emerged. It can be seen that the human race did not truly perish in the battle of the imperial court back then.

At this moment, the Blood Emperor of the Sikong Divine Clan suddenly spoke.

...and then he spoke.

Then a voice, slightly aged yet dignified, sounded.

>

The Blood Emperor's words are true. The Human race is like a centipede, dying but not completely dead. In the past when the Human race flourished, countless powerful individuals secretly left behind contingencies to eradicate them all at once. It is clearly impossible.

Although the Imperial Court has been destroyed, the human race remains.

For tens of millions of years, the human race has been searching for an opportunity to rise. Now that the Era of Great Strife has begun, the humans in the chaotic forbidden zone should be another trump card laid by the human race.

But as time passed, the remaining human forces grew weaker and weaker, and each disturbance they caused grew smaller and smaller. By the time this massacre of humans is complete, after another period of time, there should be no trace of humans left among the myriad races of the heavens.

Hearing this.

The ancient emperors and other deities, following the sound, saw a venerable old man. His half-opened eyes shimmered with golden light. Although he exuded an aura of aging, his presence was undeniable.

Cloud Emperor!

Upon seeing the speaker's identity, all the deities present became solemn. Even ancient emperors and white emperors, their faces bore a hint of respect.

If deities had a hierarchy.

Then.

This Cloud Emperor, among the divine masters, is considered a top-tier existence.

This is top-notch.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It's not just about strength, but also about experience.

Cloud Dragon God Clan!

He is a genuine old-school divine race, having existed for countless millennia. The Cloud Emperor is the current emperor of the Azure Dragon Divine Race. If we simply consider age, none of the other gods present combined could match his longevity.

"It is rumored that the Yunlong Divine Clan is as ancient as the Human Royal Court. I wonder how much the Old Cloud Emperor knows about the affairs of the Human Royal Court"

The ancient emperor said in a deep voice.

On hearing this.

The Cloud Emperor's face was serene, his calm eyes gazing towards the direction of the chaotic restricted area: "I don't understand much about it, after all, all the powerful figures from my Yunlong Divine Clan who participated in the battle against the human imperial court have long since passed away."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But some things have been kept.

For example, the chaotic Exclusion Zone we see today was not like this back then.

"Chaos Zone!"

The presiding deity on the scene was taken aback, most of them glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes they saw confusion.

But there were a very few gods who seemed to have thought of something, their faces filled with surprise and uncertainty.

The Divine Master of the Celestial Clan solemnly asked, "Please enlighten us, venerable Cloud Emperor!"

>

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Back then, the Human Race Imperial Court had countless powerful individuals. Among them, the Five Emperors were the strongest, and among the Five Emperors, the Azure Lotus Emperor was the most gifted in the Human Race Imperial Court. Legends say that he has the potential to become a human emperor.

This is the end of a paragraph.

Afterwards, countless clans from all heavens rose up to attack. Countless powerful beings fell at the hands of Emperor Qinglian.

To completely eradicate it, powerhouses from all races joined forces. Among them, there were no less than a hundred powerhouses at the level of God Lords.

One hundred deities!

Today, even if you add up all the divine races across the myriad heavens, whether there are a hundred Divine Lords is questionable.

Especially some newly promoted Divine Lords, upon hearing this, were deeply shaken in their hearts.

From the few words spoken by Emperor Yunhuang, one could tell just how powerful all the myriad races of those days truly were.

In comparison.

The strength of all the celestial races today has weakened considerably.

Some deities couldn't help but wonder if the weakening of the myriad races was related to the human race.

Just as they were secretly shocked, the Cloud Emperor continued: "To exterminate the Azure Lotus Emperor, countless strong beings from all heavens and myriad races were dispatched to besiege him. That battle shattered the rules of the Dao, and countless cosmic principles fell into the void."

Finally, the battle concluded with the demise of all the participating powerhouses and Emperor Qinglian.

Although all the powerful beings perished, the scattered power of the collapsed rules remained in the void after their demise. This ultimately became the chaotic forbidden zone we see today!

Aha, I see!

Some deities suddenly understood.

This is when they truly understood how the chaotic zone came to be.

The ancient emperors and the white emperor, etc., deities, their eyes flickered, confirming their own guesses.

Their deity, the divine race they revere, are gods of ancient lineage.

They are not weaker than the Yunlong Divine Clan.

The only difference is that.

This old Emperor Yun has lived for countless years, his experience and knowledge far surpassing theirs. Some rumors circulating out there can only be confirmed or denied by him.

Then.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Cloud Emperor said: "Back then, the Azure Lotus Emperor was extremely terrifying. In that battle, my Cloud Dragon God Clan also lost several Divine Masters. Now, countless years have passed, and according to reason, the Azure Lotus Emperor should have perished completely."

But those strong ones, it's possible they have some hidden strategies left up their sleeve.

Now that the human race appears in the chaotic forbidden zone, if it's related to the Azure Lotus Emperor, then things become rather troublesome.

His voice, aged and weathered, carried a palpable undercurrent of apprehension.

Although it wasn't born when the siege of Emperor Qinglian took place, the inherited memories left by the Yunlong Divine Clan made it deeply understand how terrifying Emperor Qinglian was.

Then wait for the strong ones.

Even leaving behind a fraction of a reserve would pose a huge threat to each of the divine races.

Hearing this.

Other deities were solemn and focused.

The White Emperor said in a low voice, “Even the living Qinglian Di Jun is powerless to turn things around. After his fall, even if the Qinglian Di Jun has left behind a contingency plan, I’m afraid it won’t change much. The chaotic forbidden zone is of great hindrance to us divine masters.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As long as the cultivators of all races can force those human cultivators out of the Chaos Forbidden Zone, it will be our time to make a move.

Although there are some records of the Azure Lotus Emperor within the Huanshan Divine Clan,

But.

The Human Imperial Court has been gone for tens of millions of years.

To be blunt.

Tens of millions of years, if the strength is average, the gods can be destroyed several times.

Even after such a long time, if there were any tricks left behind, how much power could they possibly hold

Therefore.

The White Emperor didn't have much fear of the Azure Lotus Heavenly Monarch.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

If this were said during the Qinglian Emperor's lifetime, or shortly after his demise, he would not dare to think this way.

But now, it's completely different.

Upon hearing this, the other deities' expressions shifted slightly.

Now.

In the chaotic void of the Forbidden Zone, another divine realm descended, marking the fall of a second Divine King.

This scene.

None of the gods were surprised.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

When they let all the celestial races into the Chaos Forbidden Zone, they had already thought about the consequences.

The fall of some god kings is inevitable.

Otherwise.

How can a chaotic area still be called "a forbidden zone"

The waves of destruction gradually subsided.

The Heavenly King of the Universe self-destructed.

Myriads of miles of the void are transformed into nothingness.

The already chaotic rules, now under the impact of the God King's self-destruction, became even more disordered. Rules storm swept relentlessly.

...at the center of the destructive power.

A cyan aura emanated, blocking all ripples.

In the halo.

Shen Changqing let out a breath as if he were relieved.

"It's over!"

That self-destructing power far surpassed the level of a Universe God King. Even an ordinary Rule God King couldn't reach this level.

If not for an immortal weapon to resist, even if he were immortal, he would probably be left in a near-death state.

However.

This time, it's a self-destruction.

This also made him completely understand that everything Qing Yi said was true.

"How is it, old man hasn't deceived you, the power of the immortal weapon is not something you can imagine now. Just the self-destruction of a Heaven-spanning God King, even if a godmaster—cough cough, even if a godmaster attacked, couldn't harm you in the slightest."

Qingyi returned to the chaos, a proud look on her aged face.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Shen Changqing's face showed admiration: "Senior's methods are indeed amazing, but I wonder how much power Senior has now, and how many attacks from the Divine Lord level can be resisted"

"Uh..."

Qingyi choked, the arrogance on her face disappearing.

“Probably about five or six times.”

five or six times!

Shen Changqing understood.

He didn't mean anything by the question, he just wanted a definite answer.

Understanding the remaining power of this immortal weapon will be very helpful for my future actions.

Suddenly.

Shen Changqing made another move, directly taking the several pieces of Rule Divine Stones that had been quietly staying in the void into the chaos.

These rule-stones were originally a few chaotic spirits who were accidentally affected when the Divine King Liu Yuanshen self-destructed.

A chaotic spirit that could be killed by the aftermath of a self-destruction across millions of miles, its strength wouldn't be particularly powerful. At best, it would be comparable to a Heaven and Earth God King, but it's better than nothing.

"This harvest is pretty good."

>

Looking at the four Rule Divine Stones within the chaos, he nodded in satisfaction.

One piece of Universe God King level rule divine stone, three pieces of Heaven and Earth God King level rule divine stone.

Among.

The energy rhyme contained within a Cosmic King-level Rule God Stone is equivalent to three or four Heavenly King-level Rule God Stones.

What Qingyi said about the rule stone of a hundred pieces opening up a cave heaven refers to those at the level of Heavenly God Kings.

That's it.

This battle shortened the progress by about one-tenth.

Besides this.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

The biggest gain is the fragments of the divine kingdom.

Inside the storage ring, Shen Changqing could clearly see the dozen or so pieces of divine country fragments inside.

The God King self-destructed.

Even the Kingdom perished together.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But the power of self-destruction cannot make the Divine Nation completely vanish into nothingness, but rather transforms it into countless fragments scattered throughout the void.

Had he not been held back by the force of the self-destruction, he could have collected all the fragments of the Divine Kingdom.

>

That way.

In this way, one possesses a complete celestial empire.

"To obtain a complete All-Encompassing Celestial Nation would definitely be enough to exchange for sufficient materials to open up a heavenly realm, and even have some surplus, which could then be exchanged for the Heart of the Dragon Vein!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing felt a little regret in his heart.

Now, I need to spend spirit crystals everywhere.

After all, both themselves and the humans behind them are big spenders of divine crystals.

Nevertheless.

But looking at the divine nation fragments in the storage ring, the regret in his heart did not last long before it dissipated.

Nothing can be perfect.

My requirements are a bit too high.

Even if not all the Divine Nation fragments can be obtained, just the Divine Nation fragment in the storage ring is enough to exchange for several carriers.

The Heavenly Kingdom of the Cosmos.

It is incomparable to the sun, moon, and the realm of gods.

Moreover.

Not all of the dozen or so pieces of divine country fragments come from the same level.

But how to assess it specifically will have to wait until after we leave the chaotic forbidden zone.

Boom!!

In the void, a divine kingdom fell from the heavens, transforming into countless golden fragments scattered across the land.

"Another God King has fallen!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing looked at the golden light erupting, his face slightly solemn.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Now he could be fairly certain that his divine master must have made a move.

Having wandered for so long in the chaotic forbidden zone, it had not witnessed the fall of any divine kings, nor encountered any creatures from the myriad races. As a result, in such a short time, two divine kings have already fallen.

Although one of them was slain by himself.

>

But.

Shen Changqing could also deduce some things from it.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Heavenly Eye has been opened.

The brow split with blood and flesh, revealing a golden vertical eye.

Just as he was preparing to use the Heaven's Eye to see what happened when the God King fell, a horrifying and chaotic divine being appeared within his line of sight. Its broad hand held half a body in its grasp, chewing on it with relish. Golden blood flowed from its mouth.

Suddenly.

>

The chaotic spirit paused, its head turning towards a certain direction. Its crimson eyes were filled with cruelty and savagery.

"I've been discovered!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing's face changed.

He directly put away the Heavenly Eye, then turned around and left the void.

A fleeting glimpse.

Shen Changqing could tell that the chaotic spirit's strength was at least that of a Divine Master. The remains in its grasp were clearly the body of the fallen God King.

The mighty god king, being so brutally slaughtered.

The terror of that chaotic divine being is already imaginable.

Just as he had left.

The void shattered.

A horrifyingly chaotic spirit appeared here, its crimson eyes of rage scanning everywhere in search of any creature daring to covet it. Yet, it found nothing.

Finally.

Its mouth, full of blood, let out a furious roar, its voice like an intangible attack, shattering and obliterating the space it reached.

On the other side.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing stumbled out of a certain void, wiping the invisible sweat from his forehead, still feeling a lingering sense of fear in his heart.

Primordial chaotic deities.

Even with the protection of an immortal weapon, facing such a terrifying existence would definitely not be pleasant.

What he didn't expect was that the chaotic spirit could actually detect his observation.

"Seniors, at my current level, what level of existence could I possibly detect with my Heavenly Eye"

Shen Changqing asked.

He thought his celestial eye wouldn't be noticed, but now it seems he overestimated himself.

It's very obvious.

Although powerful, the Sky Eye is not omnipotent.

Now, to understand the limitations of this stage's telescope, the only option is to ask Qing Yi. Otherwise, relying on self-exploration would be a pure waste of time.as beyond their capacity to bear. This terrifying force smashed it away forcefully.>The golden divine blade continued its momentum, striking the Heart Demon Emperor directly.At that moment.Divine bloo...
