Human Clan Defender

Chapter 894 45-46: The Emperor's Fall (Two-in-One)

The heavens and earth suddenly plunged into darkness.

When the brightness returned, all living beings had already been swallowed by the Abyss of Dark.

Looking at the increasing battle merits on the Battle Merit Token, Shen Changqing nodded in satisfaction, and without entering the city to loot any spoils, he took out the Pursuit Shuttle and left again.

Having a specific target.

He moved faster than before, and also stopped targeting cities with mediocre strength.

As long as he could handle it, he did not let any go.

Meanwhile.

Shen Changqing could feel.

There were many powerhouses from the Kuiniu Clan pursuing him.

However, although those powerhouses were chasing, compared to the Fifth Grade Dao Arms, they were far slower and had no chance of catching up.

Not knowing how much time had passed.

The fleeing Pursuit Shuttle halted, and the pursuing aura behind dissipated, clearly indicating that those powerhouses had given up.

Such a scenario.

Owed much to the Pursuit Shuttle, as well as the vastness of the Kuiniu Clan's territory.

If it were in the Human Clan Realm, a Divine Realm Middle Stage crossing it would only take a moment, leaving no space for maneuvering. Unless they left the realm's boundaries, even with stronger Dao Arms, escaping pursuit would be impossible.

After all.

The heavens and earth are only so large.

Keep running, but where could you possibly escape?

The Kuiniu Clan's territory is vast, several times larger than the Human Clan Realm. In this way, it offers space to evade pursuit.

Especially now, Candle Sect disciples are attacking everywhere, and Kuiniu powerhouses are unable to handle them all and can't persistently pursue.

He put away the Pursuit Shuttle.

Shen Changqing looked towards the mountains below.

"Such rich spiritual energy!"

The heavenly realm is filled with spiritual energy, but compared to the Eternal Ancient Continent, it falls short.

Yet within these mountains.

He could sense that, although the spiritual energy didn't match the Eternal Ancient Continent, it wasn't far behind.

Evidently.

Within the mountains, there surely must exist Spirit Veins.

"Heart of Spirit Vein!"

Shen Changqing's eyes flickered slightly.

He suddenly realized something he had overlooked all along.

That is—

Entering here, his focus shouldn't be on killing Kuiniu powerhouses but on excavating Spirit Veins.

On the Eternal Ancient Continent, excavating Spirit Veins is banned by the Heavens Myriad Clans.

This restriction.

However, doesn't exist in other realms.

In other words.

Spirit Veins in the Kuiniu Clan's realm can be freely excavated.

In an expansive realm, even if it doesn't hold many Spirit Veins, there are certainly quite a few.

"Besides the Heart of Spirit Vein, the Kuiniu Clan also possesses Dragon Veins. If I can excavate the Heart of Dragon Vein here, it saves me an effort."

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

He wasn't worried about the Heart of Dragon Vein being forcibly taken by the Candle Sect.

As a direct disciple.

Keeping his battle loot safe poses no problem.

Moreover, Candle Sect is large and wealthy, and although the Heart of Dragon Vein is precious, it's unlikely they would degrade themselves to forcibly take it.

Nevertheless.

There's a precondition.

That is, the Heart of Dragon Vein must be obtained personally; otherwise, even being a direct disciple, getting it isn't possible.

As Shen Changqing lingered.

A sudden powerful surge emerged from the mountains below.

Soon.

A thunderous strike followed.

Reaching out.

Shen Changqing directly crushed the thunder, his gaze chilling as he looked towards the source of the attack.

There.

A Divine Realm Powerhouse with a pale countenance appeared as if he had encountered something terrifying.

Clearly.

The Divine Realm who attacked took him for a regular intruder, not expecting his strength to be such that he could crush such a powerful attack barehanded.

"Seeking death!"

Shen Changqing's expression was calm.

The spiritual energy here is extremely dense, naturally, powerhouses occupy it.

Like the Heavens Myriad Clans and Human Clan, inner clans have complex forces, with many sects present.

The sect occupying this mountain is evidently one from the Kuiniu Clan.

With a Divine Realm present.

Their strength should be considerable.

Yet.

In front of him, a Divine Realm Initial Stage cultivator posed no threat.

A palm struck forth.

Heavens in Palm Divine Skill unfolded.

That Divine Realm face turned horrified, attempting to escape the attack range, only to find everything was sealed.

In the end.

He could only helplessly watch as the palm descended.

BOOM!!

Mountains collapsed, the ground sank.

The Divine Realm and his sect were engulfed by the palm.

As the force dissipated, the mountains below had transformed, with a massive palm imprint seeming naturally formed, deeply engraved there.

As for the beings that once existed there, they had long vanished.

Without looking at the Battle Merit Token, Shen Changqing knew he must have gained some battle merits.

Yet.

He didn't care much about them.

Those battle merits couldn't compare to the Heart of Spirit Vein.

From the rich spiritual energy here, it was detectable that there is at least one medium-sized Spirit Vein.

Heart of Medium Spirit Vein.

Priced at one thousand Divine Crystals.

Converted into battle merits, it equals one thousand battle merits, more valuable than defeating a hundred Divine Crystals First Level.

"Indeed!"

"Slaying powerhouses isn't the main task; plundering resources among the Kuiniu Clan is the real objective."

Shen Changqing stepped forward, disappearing from the void mid-air, seemingly simultaneously landing on the ground.
