“Well done!”

Zhong Shanxia's face turned solemn, the long sword behind him unsheathed itself, hilt gripped firmly, blade slashing forward, tearing through the void with effortless ease.
Two forces collided, their energy surging like waves, sweeping outward in all directions.

Then.
When the emperor’s bell tolled, its sound resonated throughout a million miles. Under the sway of the bell's waves, space itself seemed to solidify.
The next moment.
The qilin drum shook, and a clap of thunder boomed.
“I have long heard that the Zhongshan clan has a divine bell called Di Luo. Today, I happen to be here to see for myself just how powerful this Di Luo truly is!”
A majestic voice boomed from the drum, projecting a terrifying phantom of a qilin ox into the void.

Upon hearing this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The emperor's fall was accompanied by the sound of an aged bell.
You will see, in terms of seniority, you Kui Gu still have to call me senior. It's just that your Kui Niu clan chose the wrong side, and you can't blame others for it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That's all.
The bell tolled loudly, and the waves of destruction erupted with a deafening roar.
In the void.
The phantom of the Qilin roared towards the sky, its body trembling wildly. Countless bolts of lightning poured from the void, bombarding the Di Luo Bell relentlessly.
In an instant.
Two powerful Taoist soldiers each display their magical powers.
At the same time.
In the ears of other disciples of the Zhú Sect, a cold voice came.
"Kill!"
Upon hearing this.
All the disciples of the Zhuzong sect’s eyes turned cold, and they then charged towards the powerful members of the Kui Niu clan below.
Among.
And some of the disciples, went directly away from there, to a distant place.
Shen Changqing glanced at the situation in the field, he did not stay for a moment, and walked straight to another place.
There are too many powerful Qilin Bull clan members gathered here, and many of them are stronger than myself currently. If I rashly intervene, there is a certain probability that I will perish.
That's how it is.
It's better to go hunt somewhere else.
Anyway, this battle was mainly about capturing the territory of Kuiniu and exterminating the Kuiniu clan.
Therefore.
This is not simply a matter of dealing with the current generation of powerful Qilin clan warriors.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Under the same circumstances of military achievement.
Ten divine ranks are as easy to kill as one level of a god realm.
Shen Changqing had not forgotten the main reason he went to war, which was to gain military merit in order to exchange for the resources he needed.
Regarding his departure.
No one stopped him.
Because as Kuí Huang made his move, the strong members of the Kuí Niú clan also all acted.
Both sides have hundreds of divine realm experts.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The collision of immense power caused the heavens to explode in an instant.
"The strong warriors of the Qilin Ox Clan will be countered head-on by our group. The rest of the disciples will focus on eliminating the other members of the Qilin Ox Clan, ensuring that their Qi weakens as quickly as possible."
Otherwise, once the King Kui borrows the Qi of the Kui Ox clan, it will be a big problem.
As he traversed the heavens, Shen Changqing's mind was filled with what Zhong Shanxia had entrusted him with.
Although the Qilinox clan is a vassal race of the Dushan clan, they have not fully pledged allegiance to the Dushan clan. Their racial luck still remains in the hands of the Qilinox clan.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Thus, it will be.
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The Qilin Emperor was qualified to borrow the national fortune.
The other party is already a half-step God King realm expert. If they truly borrow the Qi Yun of the Qilin clan, they will definitely be able to rival a true God King.
To be honest.
>
Zhong Shanxia is just a god-realm cultivator. In his view, the possibility of the other party being able to withstand a God King's attack is extremely low.
In this situation, it would be unwise to allow Kui Huang to use his qi rashly.
"At present, the situation of the Kui Niu clan is not in too much of a disadvantage. It is unlikely that the Kui Emperor would directly use his Qiyun."
>
After all, when one's luck is against them, it comes at a price.
Shen Changqing felt the terrifying fluctuations behind him, his heart pounding in his chest.
Borrowing the power of chi to attack one's enemy requires paying a certain price in life force.
Although the lifespan of a powerful being in the divine realm is long, ascending each realm requires an incredibly vast amount of time.
That's it.
Even if one's lifespan in the Divine Realm is long, it cannot withstand reckless consumption.
The situation is unfavorable.
Unless absolutely necessary, that Kuí Huang would not use his power.
This way.
This kind of situation is a good thing for him.
Although he was currently disguised as a member of the Zhongshan clan, Shen Changqing didn't want the Zhongshan clan to fall at this moment.
Finally.
>
I can use my status as a direct disciple to gain advantages for myself.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If the Zhongshan clan were to fall, he would have to change his alias again.
As for the trouble involved, it goes without saying.
It's better to stay put in the Zhōngshān clan and use their power to grow steadily.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Though Shen Changqing's mind was preoccupied with thoughts, his speed was undiminished.
He soared through the heavens, observing the movements below.
Below stood countless cities, and all the strong members of the Qilin clan within the cities were on high alert.
There are some cities.
There have been clashes with disciples of the Zhúzong, but some cities remain completely quiet.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
His divine sense swept across.
Shen Changqing searched for a suitable city to attack.
He wanted to seize military merit, so a weak city would be useless to him, while a strong one would be too tough a nut to crack. He needed to find a city that was neither too strong nor too weak, something that would suit his ambitions perfectly.
Zhen Shan City.
Since news of the invaders arrived, the entire city has been on high alert, with all defensive formations activated immediately.
Even so.
The strong in the city, all had solemn expressions.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion.
A powerful figure looked worried and said, "Lord Mayor, the Zhongshan clan has suddenly sent warriors to attack us. Can we withstand them If we can't, what should we do"
Even if one has never heard of the Zhongshan clan, just the word "clan" speaks volumes about their power.
Let alone.
The Zhongshan clan is quite well-known among the myriad races of the heavens.
With such a powerful race attacking, how could the creatures of the Qilin tribe not be frightened.
Although the Zhōngshān clan could send some forces, it wouldn't be possible to dispatch too many. Your Majesty is a powerful being at the half-step Divine King realm, and with the assistance of the tribal weapon Qí drum, even a true Divine King would have difficulty dealing with us.
Here is the translation:

Remain calm and steadfast, for now it is imperative to ensure that Zhen Shan City is not lost.
The other things don't really concern me.
Kuí Hēng's face was icy cold.
>
He watched the terrifying waves rolling in from afar. Though he longed to join the fray, there was no way for him to get there.
After all, Kui Huang had a destiny and needed to guard Zhen Shan City himself.
Now that disciples of the Zhúzōng from the Qióuniu Clan have entered this land, no city is safe. Every city could be attacked. If they are unable to hold out, every living being in the city will perish.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
That's all I have to say.
Kuí Hēng no longer spoke.
But he was also wondering in his heart whether the Qiúniú clan could win.
Can we win
No one can be sure.
But there was one thing Kui Chong knew very clearly, that was the Kui Niu clan had no way out.
This is the place.
It is the foundation of the Qilin ox clan.
Once a powerful enemy has brought them to this point, the Kui Niu clan can only fight to the death. There is no possibility of retreat at all.
Then.
>
Kui Hong once again turned his gaze towards the formation rising in the city.
"I hope nothing else goes wrong!"
This looks like the start of a paragraph tag. Here's what it would look like in English:
Thinking of the power of the protective formation, he felt a little more at ease.
The Great Defensive Formation of the City Rises.
Even a powerful expert at the Divine Realm would find it extremely difficult to break this formation.
In conjunction with the existing forces within the city, at least a powerful expert in the later stages of the Divine Realm would be needed to pose a threat to Zhen Shan City.
Such powerful individuals.
The probability of coming to Zhen Shan City is low.
After all, Zhen Shan City is not a big city. It's impossible to attract the attention of those powerful beings.
In Kui Hong's view, it is more likely to provoke an attack from the Zhú Zong disciples, rather than those big cities.
He was thinking to himself.
Suddenly.
A strong sense of warning arose from within.
Suddenly, the sky above darkened as if it were collapsing.
The content inside > is empty, so there's nothing to translate. If you have actual text inside the tags, please provide it and I'll be happy to translate it for you!
Immediately.
The grand protective formation trembled violently.
The once perfect barrier was rapidly cracking at an alarming rate.
"Enemy attack!"
"Hurry, all cultivators prepare for battle!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Rumors of chaos spread throughout Zhenshan City, and powerful figures who were ready to act appeared at the scene first.
outside.
Shen Changqing withdrew his qi and returned the seal to his sea of consciousness. Looking at the cracked shield in front of him, he was astonished.
"What a strong defense!"
Just now, I borrowed the power of the Qi Yun Seal and combined it with my own strike. At least, it possesses the strength of a Divine Realm Fifth Layer expert.
However.
Such a level of power, and it couldn't even break the formation. He couldn't help but be amazed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
>You should know that.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The city before me didn't look very large, obviously not an important place.
> Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
The formation of an ordinary city could withstand attacks from a divine realm level five cultivator. This shows just how profound the foundation of the Qí Niú clan is.
However.
Shen Changqing was not too shocked.
Though the formation before him was formidable, it posed no threat to him whatsoever.
This is the time.
A mysterious power surged within the formation, and the cracks began to mend at a visible speed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
See here.
Shen Changqing's eyes turned cold, and he directly slammed his palm down towards the bottom.
Fourth-rank divine ability!
The heavens in your palm!
The enormous Zhen Shan City was directly covered by a palm. All the living beings within the city only felt the earth tremble, followed by horrified gazes directed upwards.
All they could see was endless darkness.
Click—
The city-protecting grand formation shattered.
An array that could withstand attacks from late-stage powerhouses in the Divine Realm, would be completely helpless against the attacks of a powerhouse at the fourth level of the Divine Realm and a complete level four divine ability.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
The formation has collapsed.
The entire city trembled violently, and some creatures within couldn't bear the power, being shaken so badly that they coughed up blood.
"Presumptuous!"
A terrifying roar erupted, and dreadful thunder exploded from within the city. In an instant, it tore through the darkness.
The next moment.
The town of Zhanshan trembled again, as if something heavy had been dropped onto the ground.
For a while.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And some creatures, shaken by this force, were continuously vomiting blood.
"It's a pity!"
Looking at Zhen Shan Cheng falling back into place, Shen Chang Qing's expression was filled with some regret.
It's a pity.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After all, one's own strength was ultimately a little lacking.
Otherwise, that move just now could have crushed the entire city, and wouldn't have ended up like this, a failure.
Meanwhile.
A powerful aura emanated from within the city.
"Three divine realms!"
A cold light flashed in Shen Changqing's eyes.
He didn't expect that.
Within a small town, there were actually three powerful beings at the divine realm level.
However.
Shen Changqing was not too solemn either.
Three divine realms seem like a lot, but in fact, the auras of the three people in front of us are not very strong in the divine realm. They are probably all at the initial stage of the divine realm, but it is difficult to say exactly which level.
"Dare to trespass upon my Zhen Shan City, you're looking for death!"
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Kuí Hēng's eyes were cold as he looked at the person coming. When the other party made their move, the power they displayed had already shocked him.
But.
He didn't have much fear in his heart.
As the lord of Zhen Shan City, I've reached a point where there's no turning back.
There is only one battle.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Only then can the lives of all those in the city be protected.
And then she fell silent.
Kuí Hēng had already directly taken action.
Only then did he reveal his true form, a fearsome Qilin ox measuring a thousand feet tall, standing proudly in mid-air.
The other two Divine Realms also follow the same practice.
In the face of powerful adversaries capable of breaking through the city's defenses, no one dares to be careless.
Instantly.
Three thousand-zhang, three-headed qilin oxen each occupied a corner of the void, encircling Shen Changqing in the center.
The next moment.
The three-headed qilin ox roared from its mouth, a soul-shattering sound. Countless bolts of lightning rose from the void, like a prison of thunder.
Upon seeing this.

Shen Changqing's face was expressionless. A thought moved in his sea of consciousness, and the Qi Yun Seal, comparable to a third-rank Dao soldier, appeared again.
The seal was pressed down.
One side of the Thunder Prison vanished in an instant.
Then.
He put away the seal, and with a palm strike, he reached for one of the qilin oxen.
Then came a normal palm strike, but in the eyes of that Qilin Ox, it consumed their entire vision. Great fear arose within its heart.
I forcibly held back the urge to run away.
A thunderous roar erupted from his mouth, causing the void to instantly crumble and shatter.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
But.
That power, capable of shattering the void itself, couldn't even budge his palm.
There were no surprises.
Please note that I've removed the "" as it's not part of the content you want translated.
The Qilin ox was being held in his hand, and just as Shen Changqing was about to squeeze with all his might, a devastating force erupted from within his palm.
Instantly.
His divine powers were nearly extinguished.
The force of the recoil made his blood surge.
"Kill!"
Seeing the Qilin ox self-destruct, Kui Chong's eyes turned blood red with rage. As he roared, he launched an attack towards Shen Changqing.
The one-legged man charged out, his aura overwhelming.
On the other end, the Qilin ox let out a deafening roar, and the void froze for an instant.
Shen Changqing's eyes were icy cold. The next moment, he directly used his trump card, one he hadn't used since obtaining the Zhonghshan Revenge Origin.
Boom--
In the void.
A serpentine body, thousands of miles long and crimson in hue, writhes through the void. Upon its scales are countless human faces, their eyes like blazing suns, illuminating heaven and earth.
The next moment.
Shen Changqing let out a breath, and suddenly there was a gust of wind in the world. The void affected by it was annihilated and shattered inch by inch.
Whatever it is, be it thunder or a one-legged person.
Before this force, everything is like paper, scattering and disappearing one by one.
The gale swept across.
The two-headed bull's body shuddered, and on its incredibly powerful flesh, countless fissures appeared. Large amounts of blood flowed from the wounds.
Before they could be shocked.
Then.
Just then, Shen Changqing's eyes closed. Two black whirlpools appeared in the eyelids covering his eyes, and heaven and earth were instantly plunged into darkness.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Their eyes involuntarily fell on the black vortex. Kui Hong and the other qilin ox seemed to have seen something terrifying, desperately trying to struggle, but there was nothing they could do.
Finally.
Both heads of the two-headed bull were directly pulled into the vortex.
After devouring two divine realm Qilin Oxen, Shen Changqing lowered his head to look down.
The denizens of Zhenshan City, who had always looked up at the battles above, now lowered their heads, meeting each other's gaze.
Darkness dissipates.
The red snake body disappeared, and Shen Changqing's figure reappeared in the air.
>
His eyes were tightly closed, as if they were fixed in place.
After a long while.
His eyes opened.
Shen Changqing's deep eyes held a thoughtful expression.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The innate divine abilities of the Zhōngshān clan are indeed formidable. Though using them is quite draining, if they can pull their enemies into the Abyss of Darkness, they can replenish their expended energy!
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
After obtaining the essence of Zhōng Shān Qiú, he first borrowed the power of the essence and revealed the true form of the Zhōng Shān clan. He then used his innate divine powers.
To be honest.
The power of divine talents was something Shen Changqing only knew from memory. He had never truly used them, so he couldn't be sure how powerful they were.
Only now, upon its execution, can one truly grasp the might of this divine ability, for it is no less potent than the myriad heavens held within the palm.
On some levels, even more terrifying than the palm-sized heavens.
"Innate divine abilities are also classified into different ranks. According to Zhong Shan Chou's memory, the innate divine abilities of the Zhong Shan clan are at the level of a God King, but their strength is not yet at the God King realm, so they cannot fully exert the power of their divine abilities.
Every breakthrough in realm is equivalent to unlocking a portion of the power of innate divine abilities, enabling the innate divine abilities to steadily grow.
Once a breakthrough is made to the Divine King level, the power of innate divine abilities reaches its peak.
“So now, with my foundation at the fourth level of the Divine Realm, when I use my innate divine ability, it will be much stronger than Zhongshan's original strength at the third level of the Divine Realm. Moreover, if my strength can grow further, my innate divine ability will be further enhanced.”
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
"Even a divine skill at the highest level wouldn't be as good as a natural talent—"
One Divine Ability!
The limit lies only in the realm of the divine.
Gifted with divine abilities, yet capable of breaking free from the constraints of the god realm.
However.
Those races truly capable of possessing divine king-level talents and supernatural powers are at least those with a divine king presiding over them. Other races without a divine king overseeing them mostly have talents and supernatural powers only at the divine level, and some are even inferior to the divine level.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
My thoughts were racing, but eventually they calmed down.
Shen Changqing looked down at the town of Zhen Shan City, which was now as empty as a city. Then he took out his military exploits medal.
"The military merit has gone from zero to one hundred and eighty-five points.“Three Divine Realms, it is estimated that they gave seventy points of military merit. The remaining one hundred and fifteen points of military merit, could it be all contributed by other creatures”
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
He was a little uncertain.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
A Saint-ranked cultivator can at least contribute some military merit. Powerful Saint-ranked cultivators can contribute two or three points of military merit.
Although the Qilin Ox clan has a powerhouse at the level of a demigod king, among powerful clans they are almost considered top-tier.
But.
A city that looks to be quite small, wouldn't likely have so many people who were admitted to the temple.
When Shen Changqing's heart and mind sank into the military merit token, the corresponding message finally emerged.
>
Killing a God Realm being earned seventy battle merits.
Here is the translation of the content within the tags, excluding HTML tags:>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Slaying the Saint earned 65 points of military merit.
Destroying a Level 3 city yields 50 military achievements.
"Aha!"
When he saw the end, a look of realization dawned on his face.
Co-authored.
Destroying a city can also grant you additional rewards.
>
Fifty points battle merit.
If it were converted into divine crystals, that would be fifty.
“A third-rate city, it seems like a classification of cities based on their ranks. The merit medal is a peculiar method, it's probably capable of detecting the overall strength of a city and then judging its rank.”
That is to say, above Grade C cities, there are at least Grade A and Grade B cities.
"If we could destroy these cities, the military merit gained would be much greater."
Though the war exploits given are many, the danger within is bound to be considerable as well.
This is an example of a simple HTML tag. Please note that I only translate the content within the tags and not the tags themselves.
Shen Changqing's eyes narrowed.
A Tier 3 city has three Divine Realm experts and dozens of Saints guarding it. As for Tier 2 and Tier 1 cities, their overall strength is simply unimaginable.
Middle Stage of the Divine Realm.
That was bound to happen.
Given his current strength, it's still unclear what level of Mid-Stage Divine Realm he could handle without revealing himself.
Although the Zhongshan clan's innate magical powers are at the level of a God King, the Kui Niu clan's innate magical powers are also at the level of a God King.
It's very simple.
The Qilin clan was once known as the Qilin Clan during its most prosperous period.
This is the translated text:
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
“With my current strength, directly seeking out those powerful cities would be too risky. It’s better to do as I am now, choose weaker cities to attack, and gain as much military merit as possible.”
When we have enough grasp, then we'll see if we can destroy those cities.
After Shen Changqing made up his mind, he prepared to enter Zhen Shan City and take all the resources in the city.
Now all creatures in the city are extinct, but resources remain.
If it can be obtained, it would also be an extra gain.
However—
Just as he was about to enter Zhanshan City, the void trembled incessantly, and a terrifying aura approached at an extremely fast speed.
Feeling that aura, Shen Changqing's expression changed slightly.
At least the seventh level of the Divine Realm!
He is only at the fourth level of the God Realm, considered an intermediate stage in the God Realm. If he fought against a powerful being at the later stage of the God Realm, his chances of winning would be extremely slim.
No need to think.
Everyone can understand it.
It must be the commotion from the battle in Zhen Shan City that has attracted the attention of strong individuals from other places.
There was no hesitation.
Shen Changqing didn't linger for a moment, took out the Chasing Void Shuttle, and then left Zhen Shan City.
Before he had even left for a few breaths, the void shattered like a mirror. A towering figure emerged from within, and when it saw the town of Zhanshan City below, empty like an abandoned fortress, its gold-tinged eyes were filled with chilling coldness.
"The Zhongshan clan, may they perish!"
He didn't expect it.
With the existence of a protective city formation, Zhen Shan City was unexpectedly destroyed so quickly, and not even a single soul managed to escape.
All living beings in the city were exterminated.
It is already imaginable how great the anger of this powerful warrior from the Qí Niú clan is.
He only saw his soul dispersing outwards, trying to search for the whereabouts of the murderer. Alas, the speed of the chasing shuttle was too fast, making it impossible to capture.
Long time later.
The other party withdrew their divine sense, and their icy gaze fell upon another direction.
"Since we can't find the perpetrator who destroyed Zhushan City, let's sacrifice a few Shenjing cultivators from the Zhongshan clan first as a preliminary offering. Then we'll slowly hunt you down!"
Turning, he took a step out.

The void shattered once more, the imposing figure vanishing into it, disappearing without a trace.
Very soon.
