Chapter 355: Returning to the Human Race, Sorting Out the Harvest
Chapter 355: Returning to the Human Race, Sorting Out the Harvest
As the figure in the golden-patterned black robe returned to the border of the Human Race and reached Celestial Tower City, several top-tier Human Race members instantly realized that the Human Race had emerged victorious in this battle that determined their fate.
There was no time to be amazed by Qin Zheng's strength or to inquire about the details of the battle. A joy beyond words suddenly erupted like a volcanic eruption, instantly engulfing them completely.
It felt like a dream, but a moment later, they noticed something amiss.
Upon Qin Zheng's return, he bore injuries, but they were not life-threatening. However, on his face, they saw no joy from the battle's victory.
If they were in his shoes, having attained power above the Celestial Immortal realm and defeated the Human Race's age-old enemy, even the most emotionally stable person would find it hard to contain their excitement.
This was indeed a double celebration, but why was there no change in this person? Could it be that the outcome of the battle was not as they had imagined?
With this thought, the hearts of the top-tier members plummeted from their heights, and they became apprehensive.
"
The rest of the top-tier members looked on with concern.
Qin Zheng shook his head lightly, then smiled and said, "Rest assured, my friends. We have achieved a great victory, and the Demon Race will no longer trouble the Human Race."
Hearing these words, the tense hearts of the crowd slowly relaxed.
B
Qin Zheng realized that his thoughts had been too focused on the conversation he had with the Absolute Immortal Sword.
Although the crisis of the Ten Thousand Chariots Demonic Kingdom and the Seven Great Demon Deities had been resolved, the Great Demon in the Void Spirit Realm was like a hanging sword over the Human Race.
This made him unconsciously exude an atmosphere of unease, leaving the crowd puzzled.
However, Qin Zheng had no intention of informing the others about the Great Demon in the Void Spirit Realm.
Sometimes, when the power gap is too vast, hope can turn into despair.
Qin Zheng paused briefly, then smiled and explained, "This battle has exhausted me."
His words reassured the top-tier members.
"Qin, you've worked hard," they said.
Clear Subtlety Daoist spoke up, "May I ask, Qin, since the Human Race has won, where is the Absolute Immortal Sword now?"
"He has been guarding the Human Race alone for too long. We want to personally thank him."
The others nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with anticipation.
B
Qin Zheng, after speaking, added, "I've sustained significant injuries in this battle and will need to retreat for a period of time."
"Regarding this victory, you can choose to publicize it partially to boost the morale of the Human Race.
"However, you must not tell the Human Race that the Demon Race has been defeated and will no longer invade.
The top-tier members nodded in understanding.
They knew what Qin Zheng meant.
When a force is no longer under external pressure, internal struggles often emerge!
The Human Race has two members above the Celestial Immortal realm who defeated the Seven Great Demon Deities, but this is only a victory on the high-end battlefield.
Looking down, the Human Race lags far behind the Demon Race in every aspect, with gaps that are difficult to bridge.
The Human Race cannot afford to relax!
They need to maintain a sense of urgency to continue nurturing powerful individuals!
"We understand," the top-tier members nodded solemnly.
Qin Zheng was about to return to Town Ning City to retreat in the city lord's mansion.
But at the last moment, he paused and said, "The Human Race faces not only the Seven Great Demon Deities of the Demon Emperor's Palace."
"You should also focus on your cultivation."
After speaking, Qin Zheng stepped into the void and vanished from sight.
His words left the top-tier members of the Human Race with expressions as heavy as lead.
In Celestial Tower City, at the city lord's mansion, ripples appeared in the void, and Qin Zheng's figure emerged. He took a step into the cultivation chamber.
After much thought, Qin Zheng decided to put some pressure on the top-tier members of the Human Race.
After all, they were the last hope for the Human Race to attain power above the Celestial Immortal realm.
Qin Zheng didn't say too much, ensuring they felt the pressure without despair.
These thoughts flashed through Qin Zheng's mind and were suppressed as he sank a strand of his divine soul into his sea of consciousness, focusing on the Virtue Scroll.
[Qin Zheng]
[Lifespan: 500,000 years]
[Cultivation Technique: Primordial Golden Scripture (Incomplete), Pure Dao Sutra]
[Treasures: Great Dao Tree (Young), Holy Trinity Jade Ruyi (Damaged), Immortal Slaying Sword Intent (Damaged)]
[Innate Merit: 73 strands]
[Post-Innate Merit: 36,734,425.67 pounds]
[Current Treasure: Great Dao Tree, can consume 1 strand of Innate Merit to enhance. Enhance?]
[Current Treasure: Holy Trinity Jade Ruyi, can consume 5 strands of Innate Merit for partial restoration. Restore?]
】
【Current Treasure: Sword Intent of Immortal Slaying, can consume a strand of Primordial Merit to repair. Proceed with repair?】
【Current Item: Spiritual Secret Realm, can consume 50 million jin of Merit to enter again. Proceed with entry?】
Seventy-three strands!
Upon seeing this line of writing, Qin Zheng, who had already anticipated it to some extent, still felt a sense of unreality.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
The Primordial Merit accumulated this time was substantial, but it had come from slaughtering nearly all the Celestial Realm Powerhouses in the Demon Realm.
To accumulate such Merit again in the future would likely require more than just the Demon Realm's resources.
Therefore, the immediate priority was to convert this Primordial Merit into his own strength as quickly as possible!
With enhanced strength, he could venture into the Void to seek out the Great Demons sealed within the Spirit Realm!
A Taiyi-grade Demon would undoubtedly be invaluable!
This thought flashed through his mind.
At the same time, Qin Zheng silently spoke aloud, "Consume a strand of Primordial Merit to enhance the Great Dao Tree!"
Buzz!
In his heart, the Virtue Scroll trembled.
Then, strands of thick Primordial Merit, glowing with dazzling golden light, surged towards the Great Dao Tree in the inner realm.
Whoosh!
The Great Dao Tree immediately swayed with delight.
Demon World.
Within the capital, now in ruins.
A dignified man in a black robe emerged from the void, his arms crossed behind his back.
It was Chu Ying, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Kingdom!
He calmly surveyed the tragic scene before him, his eyes revealing not a hint of emotion.
It was as if the ruins before him had nothing to do with him.
After a brief glance, he stepped into the void, heading towards the Demon Emperor's Palace.
That Human, Qin Zheng, had exceeded expectations with his strength, and together with the Absolute Immortal Sword, they had nearly destroyed half of the Demon Kingdom.
But this was also good.
The more powerful Qin Zheng became, the more eager those old Immortals would be to foster a Celestial Immortal.
He, Chu Ying, would ultimately be the final winner!
Such thoughts filled Chu Ying's mind.
Moments later, a palace as grand and majestic as a towering mountain appeared before him.
The gaping hole pierced by a sword had now healed, as if it had never existed.
Chu Ying gazed at the Demon Emperor's Palace, then transformed into a streak of light and rushed inside.
Soon, he reached the central hall where the seven Demon Deities resided.
"What brings you here?"
As he stepped in, a cold voice filled with disdain echoed.
"This is about dissatisfaction with oneself."
Chu Ying's heart echoed this thought.
Immediately, another voice followed.
"Indeed, facing an enemy you can't defeat, knowing to preserve yourself is wise."
This voice too, carried a hint of approval.
"As the ruler of a nation, if you can't protect your people, how do you qualify as their leader?"
"It's not that simple. That Human, Qin Zheng, is powerful. With Celestial Immortal might, he possesses strength beyond Celestial Immortal."
". ."
Among the seven Demon Deities, some held grudges, while others acknowledged his strength.
After a few breaths, the seven Demon Deities calmed down and turned to him, asking, "Why have you come here?"
Chu Ying smiled slightly and instantly released his aura.
Boom!
The aura, hidden for tens of thousands of years, finally revealed itself to outsiders in all its might.
This aura was so powerful that it was just a step away from surpassing the Celestial Immortal realm!
"I ask for your assistance to help me swiftly ascend to the Celestial Immortal realm!" Chu Ying spoke.
He was confident that given the current state of the Demon Race, even if he fell slightly short compared to Phoenix Luo, he would undoubtedly receive the full support of these old Immortals!
With the backing of these ancient beings, he was certain he could ascend to the Celestial Immortal realm in the shortest time possible!
But time passed slowly.
In the central hall, the voices of the seven Demon Deities did not continue.
Doubt began to stir in Chu Ying's heart.
Then, one of the Demon Deities spoke.
"With his strength, can he venture into that Spirit Realm in the Void?"
A response followed.
"That Spirit Realm in the Void is terrifying, and we dare not enter lightly, let alone him. But..."
"If we provide him with a few protective treasures, perhaps he can venture within."
Listening to the conversation of the Demon Deities, Chu Ying was perplexed.
However, at this moment, a sense of foreboding filled his heart.
Then, the voices of the seven Demon Deities took turns.
"The voice from the Spirit Realm in the Void claims to be our Ancestor, asking us to help free him from his predicament."
"We don't know the truth of his words, so let this young one go and investigate. See who dares to take advantage of us!"
"It's rare for a living being to exist within the Spirit Realm in the Void."
"But if the being inside is truly as he claims, a Taiyi-grade Demon, our Ancestor..."
"Then we can avenge this calamity!"
After a few words, the central hall fell silent again.
Chu Ying, feeling uneasy, spoke, "If you have important matters to discuss, Chu Ying will take his leave for now."
As he turned to leave, a large hand reached out towards him.
"Stay quiet and listen, don't even think of leaving."
