Chapter 178: Chapter 174: The Realm Above the Martial Saint! (Seeking Subscriptions)

True Dragon Immortal Body...

Dharma Body...

Seeing the characters that appeared on the Merit Scroll, Qin Zheng’s eyes slightly narrowed.

This was the second Cultivation Technique he saw on the Merit Scroll.

The previous technique was the refining of Gao Wuyun’s Heritage Spirit Bead, which could yield the Limitless Descent Secret Record.

However, refining that technique required ten thousand jin of merit, and because the Heritage Spirit Bead was contaminated, forcefully refining it also posed risks.

Therefore, Qin Zheng had not focused his attention on that technique.

And now, he had obtained the second technique.

The two techniques were similar; after the name of the technique, both were marked with something resembling a level.

Only one was of legendary level, the other was of Dharmakaya level...

He did not know what these two levels meant.

Qin Zheng’s brow furrowed slightly as he suddenly recalled a phrase spoken by Gao Wuying at the edge of the Moxu Demon Lair, when he had slain him.

"If you only cling to appearances, how can you ascend to Martial Saint and verify the Dharma Body?"

Ascend to Martial Saint... Verify the Dharma Body...

So, is the Dharma Body the next realm after Martial Saint?

This thought suddenly emerged in Qin Zheng’s mind.

And what about legend?

Is it a higher realm after Dharma Body?

In an instant, many speculations arose in Qin Zheng’s mind.

If that was indeed the case, then the limits of this world were far beyond the Martial Saint Realm!

It was just that in the current Great Jin, becoming a Martial Saint was already extremely difficult, and a higher realm was even unheard of.

Could this be related to the extinction of the Immortal Dao Civilization?

Both Dharma Body and legend were realms that existed during the time of the Immortal Dao Civilization.

And after the extinction of the Immortal Dao Civilization, Martial Saint became the highest realm in this world.

Qin Zheng’s thoughts gradually spread.

As he pondered this, a shadow silently swept over, completely covering him.

Or to be more precise, it covered every direction around him!

The dense demonic energy surged in the air.

Qin Zheng’s thoughts slowly awakened from his contemplation.

At this moment, on both his front and back, there were two enormous creatures, each tens of meters tall like mountains.

A Bear Demon! An Ape Demon!

Such massive bodies, able to appear so silently!

And these were two Great Demons no weaker than the Black Water Demon Dragon, even possibly stronger!

Whoosh!

The Ape Demon leant forward and punched, the tremendous force flowing like a small mountain-sized fist pulling a white stream in the air!

Thereafter.

Boom boom boom!!

With one punch, the ground cracked instantly, and the world shook!

But the Ape Demon did not relax at all, even its expression becoming more solemn.

He slowly raised his fist; below him, the area was empty, not showing the figure in the Gold-Patterned Profound Robe.

"I was wondering why that Demon Dragon was rushing here recklessly."

At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded next to him.

"Behind you!!"

At the same time, the face of the Bear Demon changed, urgently warning, while also stretching out its enormous bear paw, sweeping across.

Qin Zheng’s expression remained calm, his foot landing on the back of the Ape Demon’s head, followed by a fierce stomp.

Boom!!

Under the tremendous force, the Ape Demon’s head, large as a small mountain, explosively burst open.

The fragments of red and white substance instantly splattered across an area of more than ten miles.

"So it turns out you two were waiting here to help."

At this time, Qin Zheng’s voice continued to sound.

Concurrently, the Bear Demon’s huge paw swept across.

Qin Zheng extended his right hand, his slender fingers twisting into a fist, and then he fiercely punched towards the bear paw.

Boom!

Roar!!

The bear paw explosively burst open!

The enormous Bear Demon, pained, suddenly roared skyward.

The deep sound caused the ground to tremble.

Qin Zheng immediately leapt up, flying to the Bear Demon’s huge head, then lashed out with a kick.

Bang!!

Before the Bear Demon could react, its huge head explosively burst open.

Boom!

Boom!

At that moment, two enormous demon bodies fell to the ground one after another, causing another tremor and raising a cloud of dust.

Qin Zheng, with calm eyes, looked down at the ground where the three large demon bodies lay headless.

The Black Water Demon Dragon’s entry into Qingzhou was probably just a probing attempt.

Hua Qingyun had left Qingzhou, and for a long time, there had been no disturbances, which made these monsters suspicious.

Since the Black Water Demon Dragon could fly, it was sent into Qingzhou to probe the reality of the place.

If Hua Qingyun was still there, it could also quickly flee, or even use this to lure Hua Qingyun to the edge of Qingzhou.

Here, with two Great Demons equivalent to Half-Step Martial Saints, even if Hua Qingyun were stronger, facing three Great Demons in an ambush, he would hardly gain any advantage!

He might even lose his life here without caution!

And if Hua Qingyun wasn’t there, it would prove that Qingzhou had been abandoned by Great Jin, and they could completely invade Qingzhou!

As Qin Zheng’s thoughts churned, he roughly guessed the motives of these three Great Demons.

Thinking of this, a hint of chill emerged in his eyes.

According to Wei Wuliang’s words, although the court recalled Hua Qingyun, they also dispatched a Half-Step Martial Saint in his stead.

Yet now that the Great Demons were invading Qingzhou, this Half-Step Martial Saint had still not appeared!

If it weren’t for his timely arrival, even if Qingzhou didn’t fall, it would have been largely invaded by the monsters!

By then, the number of people dead or injured wouldn’t just be counted in the dozens or hundreds!

And that Half-Step Martial Saint, who was sent according to the Emperor of Great Jin’s will.

Could it be that the Emperor of Great Jin had already decided to abandon Qingzhou?

Unacceptable!

Even if he intended to give up Qingzhou, Qin Zheng would never allow it!

With this thought, Qin Zheng suddenly looked up, directing his gaze towards the direction of the Moxu Demon Lair.

...

Moxu Demon Lair.

Mountains spread across the landscape, darkened and gloomy.

The rich demonic energy was like layers of black clouds, covering the sky and blocking the sun, leaving no trace of light.

From time to time, roars and bellows could be heard.

In a mountainous wild.

A sika deer bowed down, consuming some unknown flesh, its eyes blood-red, demonic energy rampant.

"Deer King seems in good spirits, fortifying himself with food despite the looming battle."

At that moment, a voice arose in front of it.

The sika deer lifted its head, only to see a zhang-tall Black Bear.

Within the Moxu Demon Lair, if one were to discuss which monsters were the most numerous, bear demons could be second to none.

After all... the Saint Bear deep within the demon lair was a bear demon!

"Is Bear King so certain that we will invade Qingzhou?"

The sika deer asked curiously.

The Black Bear Spirit slowly walked forward, tearing off a large chunk of the flesh beneath the sika deer and began devouring it.

Seeing this, a trace of coldness flashed through the bloody eyes of the sika deer, but it made no move.

Afer a bout of consuming, the Black Bear Spirit finally said slowly, "You don’t know that the dragon king from the Black Water Demon Cave has already headed to Qingzhou."

"Wasn’t it being chased here by a Half-Step Martial Saint of the human race? It still dares to go?" the sika deer asked, increasingly puzzled.

The Black Bear Spirit waved its hand, a look of knowing all appearing on his face, pleased with itself, "This time, it’s not just that dragon king."

"Our demon lair’s two Saint Envoys are also there!"

"Which two?"

The sika deer grew even more curious.

"Saint Bear, Saint Ape, the two Saint Envoys!"

The bear demon spoke.

The sika deer’s face immediately lit up with excitement.

Saint Bear, Saint Ape.

Among the Saint Envoys, anyone christened with the title of Saint belonged to the strongest under the Great Saint.

If these two were moving out, it might very well indicate that the Great Saint had made up his mind!

This meant that the possibility of invading Qingzhou was very high!

"So, are we really going to invade Qingzhou?"

The sika deer asked excitedly.

The Black Bear Spirit nodded self-assuredly.

At that moment, a greedy look emerged in the eyes of both Great Demons.

Although Qingzhou was not large compared to the other Thirty-Six States of Great Jin, it was populous enough for them to feast fiercely!

Just as the two monsters fantasized about how they would gorge themselves upon entering Qingzhou.

A gap suddenly tore open in the demonic cloud that hung perennially over the demon lair.

Light pierced through the gap into the demon lair, immediately drawing the attention of the many monsters inside.

Soon thereafter, three dark spots emerged from that gap, descending toward the ground below.

"What is that?"

The Black Bear Spirit asked with some confusion.

The demonic cloud above Moxu Demon Lair, perpetually lingering, would never dissipate without external force.

Now, it suddenly opened a gap and three dark spots appeared from the gap.

Could it be... that the Martial Artists of Great Jin had launched an offensive on the Moxu Demon Lair?!

Could those three dark spots be three human Martial Artists?

Thinking this, its heart instantly filled with shock.

"No! They’re not human!"

At that moment, the sika deer beside it suddenly spoke.

The Black Bear Spirit looked up again carefully and saw the three dark spots descending rapidly towards the ground.

And as they got closer, the spots grew larger and their contours clearer.

They didn’t seem like humans, but rather like...

The Black Bear Spirit’s body suddenly began to tremble violently.

Because these three dark spots were the very three Great Demons they had just been discussing!

The dragon king from the Black Water Demon Cave!

The two Saint Envoys of Moxu Demon Lair!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three massive Demon Corpses crashed into the ground below!

A tremendous roar erupted between heaven and earth!

Instantly, the earth quaked, mountains crumbled!

A dense dust cloud shot up into the sky!

In an instant, countless Great Demons died, and packs of monsters howled in terror and panic.

Then, within moments, several powerful auras surged up from deep within the demon lair.

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Simultaneously, a figure suddenly appeared above the demon lair.

Clad in a Gold-Patterned Profound Robe, wielding the Ghost Head Greatsword, his aura was as fierce and dominant as the several that had risen from deep within the lair.

The monsters watched this figure in shock, their minds filled with disbelief.

This human had dared to kill the Saint Envoys and throw their bodies into the demon lair!

He was provoking the Moxu Demon Lair!

Provoking the Great Saint of Moxu Demon Lair!

And such an act within the human race was only imaginable by a mere eighteen!

Qin Zheng stood in the void, his sword at his side, his cold eyes scanning the surroundings, ultimately focusing towards the depths of the demon lair.

"Who are you?!"

A furious voice called out from deep within the demon lair.

"Qingzhou, Qin Zheng!"
