Human Clan Defender

Chapter 1060 - 127-128: Why Is He So Strong?! (Double-Length)

In Zhongshan Peng’s view, his last defeat was just losing by a single move.

So—

After his strength advanced a bit further, he launched a challenge again.

But what he hadn’t expected was that Shen Changqing had already leaped from seventh all the way up to third.

However, even so, Zhongshan Peng had no intention of backing down.

He didn’t believe it.

In just a short interval, how much could the other side’s strength really change?

Yet—

Reality proved he had really been overthinking it.

"Hiss!"

Zhongshan Peng bared his teeth again; the high fighting spirit in his Heart had already been ground completely into dust in that battle, with the opponent pinning him to the ground.

If he hadn’t withdrawn in time, it was entirely possible he would have fallen on the spot.

Unless he made a major breakthrough.

Either step into Half-Step Divine King, or directly become a Divine King.

Otherwise—

he had no thought of challenging Shen Changqing again.

There was nothing he could do.

The gap was too big.

So big that a small breakthrough alone couldn’t smooth it out.

Only a major breakthrough might have a chance of closing the distance between the two, maybe even surpassing him.

——

In the desolate Death Forbidden Zone, terrifying black mist surged and roiled.

From time to time, waves of wind swept across the void, blowing away some of the black mist, revealing a corner of the continent within.

And inside that black mist—

a mass of land not much smaller than the Demon Evil Continent lay quietly suspended there.

Different from the Demon Evil Continent—

this stretch of land was filled only with dead stillness, without the slightest vitality of living beings.

Black soil everywhere.

No trace of people.

But at the very center of the continent, there was a Blood Pool.

Martial Emperor and the others were standing beside the Blood Pool.

At this moment, the Holy Lord had taken the form of a burly middle-aged man, a solemn face wearing an indifferent expression.

"This is the Rebirth Pool of my Black Demon Divine Clan. You must first shed the bodies of the Demon Evil Clan and transform into the bodies of my Black Demon Divine Clan."

"Those who can serve my Black Demon Divine Clan will, at the very least in the future, advance to existences at the level of Divine King.

If your fortune and talent are sufficient, reaching for Divine Lord is not entirely impossible either. But how far you go depends on yourselves."

Minimum, Divine King.

With a chance to achieve Divine Lord!

Hearing these words, the breathing of Martial Emperor and the others all grew rapid.

What was a Divine King?

To some people present, that was an extremely unfamiliar existence.

But to some others, they understood very clearly in their Hearts.

That was an existence far more terrifying than Demon Gods like Wu Ming and the rest.

As for Divine Lord, just looking at the Holy Lord before their eyes was enough to understand.

"Go."

The Holy Lord waved his hand.

Hearing this—

Martial Emperor and the others hesitated slightly, but still stepped into the Rebirth Pool.

Yet what they didn’t notice was that, as he watched them enter the Rebirth Pool, a cold and vicious smile traced across the indifferent face of the Holy Lord.

Not long after—

Boom—

A violent roar came from within the Rebirth Pool.

One Demon Evil who had entered the Rebirth Pool couldn’t withstand the energy of the pool water and directly exploded into pieces and died.

This sudden change—

made the faces of the others all change drastically.

The Holy Lord shouted coldly, "Steady your Hearts. If you can’t endure the power of the Rebirth Pool, that will be your end. If you wish to join my Black Demon Divine Clan, you must pay the corresponding price.

Now, let me see just how much potential you truly have!"

"Damn it!"

Martial Emperor’s Heart sank.

He hadn’t expected the Rebirth Pool of the Black Demon Divine Clan to be so perilous.

But now, wanting to withdraw was clearly impossible.

Leaving aside whether one could even leave the Rebirth Pool—

the moment he stepped out of the Rebirth Pool, that being would directly make a move and crush him to death.

The arrow was on the string and had to be loosed.

Martial Emperor could only hope that he could endure the power of the Rebirth Pool and become a true member of the Black Demon Divine Clan.

When that time came—

he would possess the foundation to advance to Divine King.

Such benefits were something he could never obtain within the Demon Evil Clan.

Boom!

Boom!!

In the Rebirth Pool, Demon Evil exploded and died one after another.

The Holy Lord’s gaze remained indifferent, as if those who died were nothing more than insignificant ants, not worth any attention.

Very soon—

of the several hundred Demon Evil, fewer than twenty remained.

But among those fewer than twenty Demon Evil, they had already completely shed their Demon Evil bodies and were, bit by bit, reforging the bodies of the Black Demon Divine Clan.

Seeing this—

the Holy Lord finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad. At least they’re not all useless trash!"

An entire Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom in exchange for a dozen or so members of a new race was already quite good.

The conditions to become Black Demon Divine Clan were exceptionally harsh; even among billions of living beings, one might not necessarily produce a single Black Demon Divine Clan.

And now—

to have a dozen or so Black Demon Divine Clan emerge meant that this generation of the Demon Evil Clan truly had quite a few geniuses.

Next—

in the process of forging the bodies of the Black Demon Divine Clan, there was no longer any danger.

It might take a day, or it might take a month.

The energy of the Rebirth Pool gradually waned, and the pool water slowly dried up.

By the end—

in the vast Rebirth Pool, not a single drop of pool water remained.

And in the pool, seated cross-legged, were a dozen or so beings whose bodies were etched with black patterns, their entire beings exuding a Desolate Ancient aura.

"We succeeded?"

Martial Emperor opened his eyes, first a little confused, then immediately felt the surging mighty power coming from within his Flesh.

That kind of power—

made him feel like he could punch his former self to death with a single blow.

Wait—

Divine Soul!

Martial Emperor’s expression changed again.

He had discovered another problem: his Divine Soul had vanished.

No matter how he searched, he could not find any trace of his Divine Soul.

Under normal circumstances—

once the Divine Soul disappeared, the living being should have fallen.

But Martial Emperor felt no discomfort at all; it was as if every inch of his blood and Flesh was filled with the vigor of life.
