Chapter 121-122: Half-Step Divine King
this great struggle!""Therefore, concerning the proposal from our clan, His Majesty could give it some more careful consideration. With the Zhu Feng divine clan protecting you, there are only benefits...Stars fall from the sky!
In an instant, it completely engulfed the two divine realm level ten guards.
"Destroy!"
Shen Changqing uttered a word, his eyes cold.
The stars are shining brightly.
The river water is like a knife.
The terrifying power of annihilation made the two sentries feel a great threat.
The next moment.
Tenfold power of the Divine Realm erupts.
Boom—
The galaxy trembled.
It's as if a fearsome beast raged within, constantly clashing in the river. One by one, stars dimmed and then shattered into oblivion.
However.
Shen Changqing's face didn't change at all.
The vast emptiness was like a mere inch within his palm.
Boom!!

The starry river shattered.
Even with powerful divine abilities, it was impossible to truly achieve the level of annihilating a target with a single palm strike before the two Tenth Realm Divine Guardians.
However.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing's heart was not in the slightest bit anxious.
He vanished from where he stood with a single step, only to reappear the next instant behind one of the watchtower guards.
A punch strike.
The watchman immediately turned and blocked.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Two forces collide.
A terrifying power erupted, sending Shen Changqing stumbling backward. But the tower guard's arm shattered as well, and the recoil even cracked his flesh.
"Continue!"
He twisted his neck and launched another attack on the tower guard.
After the sixth heaven.
After further transformation of the physical body, all aspects are no longer comparable to the past. Even a tower guardian at the tenth level of the Divine Realm is far inferior in this regard.
Meanwhile.
Another tower guard came to help.
>
That's all.
Shen Changqing didn't bother fighting that tower guard at all.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
No matter how fast the other party is, nothing can compare to the speed of a first-rank divine ability.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Whenever danger approached, he would retreat first, but against the wounded defender's assault, there was no hesitation.
Boom--
Another punch was thrown out.
The void shattered like a broken mirror.
The Gatekeeper, already severely wounded, had no way to resist. This terrifying punch tore their body apart directly, obliterating them completely into nothingness.
Meanwhile.
A gust of wind surged behind them.
Shen Changqing didn't even look, and with a backhand strike, he unleashed a powerful palm attack.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Amazing powers!
A myriad of stars!
The vast galaxy and countless stars' power are all condensed in the palm of one's hand.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
Boom——
Two terrifying forces collided. Shen Changqing's figure remained steadfast, but the tower guard at the tenth level of the Divine Realm was sent flying like he had suffered a severe injury.
Next.
Shen Changqing once again took a step and vanished into thin air.
When a punch lands, it is the direct smashing of the tower guardian's head.
With overwhelming force, before the opponent's head could recover, he pulverized their body completely.
Thus far.
Both of the ten heavy guarding gods, fell.
Shen Changqing's heart was as calm as an ancient well. He had obviously expected such a result.
Though the Tower Guardians are powerful, they also know how to cooperate.
But compared to real cultivators, there are still some differences.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When I hadn't broken through, I could still slay a god realm tenfold tower guard. Now that both my divine and martial paths have broken through, slaying two god realm tenfold tower guards is still possible, and it's not much pressure.
>
Void trembling.
The rewards for the 92nd floor of the Sky Piercing Tower are already there.
Two pieces of pure jade!
plus ten divine crystals.
But these ten divine crystals are not ordinary divine crystals, they are tenfold divine crystals. Calculated, they are equivalent to over five thousand first-grade divine crystals.
"Great stuff!"
Shen Changqing's eyes lit up.
He didn't expect that the ninety-second floor would still give him purified stones, and even two of them.
Such a treasure.
Anything that is rare, no matter where it's placed, is valuable.
Two pieces of clean stones.
With the accumulated faith power of his own, it would not be a problem to take a big step forward in the sixth heaven of the divine realm, even if he couldn't ascend to the seventh heaven.
However.
Shen Changqing currently doesn't have any plans to use it immediately.
Shinto is only temporary, it's not worth investing too much in.
Unless it's absolutely necessary, there's no other way.
Just like before, if one's Taoist realm is too low, they must raise it, otherwise there will be no chance of entering the Heavenly Domain, and no possibility of ascending high levels in the Ascension Tower.
Fortunately.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
All investments pay off.
Some divine crystals were thrown into the sea of consciousness and refined with divine fire to replenish the recently expended energy.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
An hour goes by quickly.
Under the ever-changing void.
Three divine realm tenth-tier tower guards have already appeared before him.
Boom!!
A deafening roar erupted in the void, accompanied by terrifying waves that surged and rolled.
Shen Changqing's physical strength and divine power were fully unleashed to their peak, his palm carrying the vast power of a galaxy, as if he could effortlessly destroy heaven and earth.
The original perfect body was already somewhat shattered.
while his opponent.
but they were two Divine Realm tenth-stage tower guardians.
Bang—
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The two attacks fell almost simultaneously.
>
A watchman was struck by the overwhelming attack and his body instantly shattered. Shen Changqing's body also trembled violently, already with several cracks, now half of his body was almost broken.
However, his face remained unchanged.
Under the full force of a tower defender's attack, they successfully killed one.
And then.
Shen Changqing turned around and charged at the remaining guard on watch.
After a long time.
The watchman couldn't hold out for long either, being killed outright.
"Solved!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After all the watchmen dispersed, Shen Changqing finally relaxed his tense nerves.
The Tiantan Tower has ninety-eight floors!
Eight divine realm tenth-layer tower guards.
During this period.
After defeating the tower guardian at the ninety-seventh floor and completely eliminating its threat, he had already retreated halfway to recover his consumed energy and injuries. Only then did he return to break through the ninety-eighth floor.
Now.
With the demise of all the defenders, the 98th floor of the Heavenly Ascension Tower has also been completely cleared.
Now, only the last level of the majestic Heavenly Ascent Tower remains.
The battered flesh is slowly recovering, but due to the excessive depletion of qi and blood, the surface wound recovery speed has been reduced to its limit.
As for the inside, it was riddled with holes.
However.
Shen Changqing did not immediately retreat, but waited, waiting for the reward of the ninety-eighth floor to appear, and to see what the ninety-ninth floor was like.
With his current strength, it is obviously impossible to fight again on the ninety-ninth floor.
But this doesn't prevent oneself from understanding the situation of the Ninety-Nine Layers.
According to the rules.
In all likelihood, the Ninety-Nine Layers is guarded by ten demigods at the tenth level of the God Realm.
This is the time.
Only the void trembled.
The rewards of the ninety-eighth layer are already before us.
>
A piece of gray stone.
"Stone"
>
Shen Changqing looked at the stone in front of him, his face slightly puzzled.
Just at this moment, a corresponding message came from the Sky-Reaching Tower.
"Challenge successful!"
"Reward Rules of the Divine Stone!"
“In one hour, enter the ninety-ninth floor, challengers, prepare yourselves!”
Rule Stone!
This name was very unfamiliar to him.
>
However.
Anything that can involve the word "rule" is naturally not an ordinary thing.
Shen Changqing tried to touch it with his divine sense, but the moment his divine sense touched the rule stone, his soul felt as if it had been struck by something, causing him to feel dizzy and his divine sense was immediately repelled.
"Can't use it"
He was taken aback.
The Rule Stone is clearly a powerful artifact.
Let's not talk about other things.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Simply dispersing one's divine consciousness and vibrating their own sea of awareness is already indicative of a problem.
This is a simple text.
But the problem is.
I don't even know the use of the Rules Stone at all.
If it can't be used, then even powerful treasures are a bit useless.
Unless.
... are exchanged for divine crystals.
After a moment's thought.
Shen Changqing couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped wasting time. He would wait until he left the Heavenly Domain, and then there would be a way to figure out the use of the Rule Stone.
Reach out and grasp the divine stone.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He wants to put it in his storage ring.
But——
A powerful repulsive force emanated from the Rule Stone, preventing it from being contained within the storage ring.
Next.
Here is the translation of your text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Before Shen Changqing could react.
The Rule Stone had already transformed into flowing light, directly entering his body.
The original location of the dantian.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The rule stone sat quietly there.
On the gray stones, an indescribable aura emanates. When qi and blood surge, there seem to be subtle changes.
But this change was too slight, so that Shen Changqing couldn't be sure about much for the time being.
Then.
He tried to take out the rule stone.
Only the dantian trembled, and the stone that was there appeared in his palm.
It's out!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing let out a slight sigh of relief.
Since it can be taken out, there's no problem for now.
The storage ring can't be put away.
If the other party likes to stay in their dantian, then let them stay there. Wait until after they leave the celestial domain and then figure out the rules of the divine stone.
But there was one thing he could be sure of.
As a reward given at the ninety-eighth floor of the Heaven Ascending Tower, it was definitely a treasure more precious than the Pure Stone.
In addition.
The Rule Stone is unlikely to pose any harm.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After all, the Dengtian Tower is a place for cultivators of the Zhongshan clan to train. How could the treasures given there be detrimental to their cultivation
>
The only issue.
It's just that he doesn't understand the rules of the divine stone yet, so he can't exert the full power of this treasure for now.
A moment later.
The void shifts again.
Shen Changqing stood still, silently watching ahead, until a new tower guard arrived.
A moment's pause.
Two breaths.
After three breaths.
Suddenly, in the tranquil void, ripples appeared. As time passed, these ripples grew increasingly violent, causing the vast emptiness to tremble violently, as if something terrifying were being born.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Suddenly.
The trembling void calmed.
The next moment.
The space was shattered like a mirror.
A guard emerged from the shattered void, its appearance completely unlike that of other challengers who served as guards. The moment it stepped out of the void, a vast and boundless aura erupted with a thunderous roar.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
In the vast emptiness, it suddenly surged and boiled.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Looking at the tower guard before him, Shen Changqing's face was heavier than ever.
“Half-step God King!”
>
Exited the Sky Piercing Pagoda.
There is new information, coming from within the tower.
Kong Zhou's name has been completely removed from the Heavenly Ascension Tower rankings.
Apart from this Transmission of the Candle Clan Patriarch, the cultivators who ranked behind him also vanished without a trace.
Name consumption.
>
Either they died inside the Heavenly Ascension Tower, or they successfully cleared it and entered the Forging God Platform.
Shen Changqing didn't need to think, he could understand that only the latter possibility was greatest.
“To be able to kill a guardian at the peak of the God Realm with the strength of the tenth level of the Divine Realm, these people are not simple!”
His face hardened.
Half-Step Divine King.
It's not comparable to the Divine Realm of Tenfold Heaven.
Although he had never actually fought a Half-Step God King, just from the aura emanating when the guardian emerged, it was overwhelming and could completely suppress a Divine Realm tenth-layer cultivator.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As they were speaking.
Even Shen Changqing himself wouldn't be confident enough to stand against a half-step God King.
Then wait for the strong ones.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's already half a foot into the realm of the divine.
"Failing to enter the Divine Casting Platform likely means one lacks the qualification to participate in its competition. In the eyes of the Zhongshan clan, only those who possess the strength to kill a demigod king can venture into the Central Plains Region."
"In that case, the struggle for the God Sealing Platform is far more intense than I had imagined!"
Chen Changqing's heart grew heavier and heavier.
As for his understanding of the Sealing Platform, he had only gleaned some information from Zhong Shan Dongxuan's mouth.
Please note: I have only translated the content within the tags. I have not altered any HTML tags.
Half-Step Divine King.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Based on my current understanding, among all the major clans, he is considered one of the strongest below a God King.
Apart from Zhong Shan Xia, Shen Changqing hadn't heard of anyone else from the Zhong Shan clan who could slay a half-step God King with the strength of a divine realm expert.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
From here, you can see how powerful a Half-Step God King is.
But.
Even among demigods, there are differences.
>
The one from the Dushan clan is obviously a powerful being among the half-step Divine Kings.
As for the half-step Divine King guarding the Heavenly Ascension Tower, in terms of true strength, perhaps there's a considerable gap compared to that half-step Divine King from the Block Mountain Clan.
Even so.
The strength of Zhong Shan Kong Zhou and others who can kill half-step God King guards is already imaginable.
"The competition for the Divine Stage doesn't look at potential, only strength. But if I could ascend to the Casting God Platform, the Zhongshan clan would probably bet all their hopes on me!"
I hope he takes the blame.
That's equivalent to a massive amount of resources.
What do you lack the most right now
In Shen Changqing's view, what he lacked the most was resources.
If the Zhongshan clan had the opportunity to leave their name on the Altar of Conferred Immortals, they would definitely cultivate it vigorously.
After all—
Zhong Shan Kong Zhou and others were all cultivators at the tenth level of the Divine Realm, while I had only just entered the sixth level of the Divine Realm.
Who is stronger, who is weaker.
At a glance.
But —
Whether it can slay the semi-god king guardian with its current strength is still a question.
“The celestial realm is only open for three years. I’ve been in the celestial realm for about three months now, with two and a half years left. I aim to increase my strength to the level of slaying a demigod within nine months!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing made a decision.
Instantly.
He had left the range of the Heavenly Ascent Tower and returned to the valley where he had previously been in seclusion.
Here is the translation of your text, keeping the HTML tags as they are:

The ban has been cast.
No time was wasted.

To directly extract a pure stone and prepare to refine all the remaining faith in the sea of consciousness clean.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Several days later.
>
Shen Changqing's body trembled slightly. When he withdrew from cultivation once again, the purification stone had completely lost its effect.
"Sixth Heaven, Intermediate Stage!"
“Although I still have a few pure stones in my hand, they are currently of no use!”
The reason is very simple.
All accumulated faith power has been completely purified at this moment.
Although the Qilin clan continues to pass on their beliefs, those beliefs are not very impactful. For him now, they are merely a drop in the bucket.
There's no way.
Although the Qīngfēng Clan has already ascended to a powerful clan, their foundation is too shallow, and there aren't many members. The amount of faith power they can provide is really not much.
Back when I was at the third or fourth level of the Divine Realm, one clan gave me quite a bit of faith.
But after advancing to the sixth level of the Divine Realm, Shen Changqing had already felt it, the lack of faith from that clan.
In the future, if you want to be promoted quickly, you must have more faith in your race.
Otherwise.
Sole faith given by the wasp clan.
Even with a large amount of purified stones, it's unlikely to significantly increase one's power.
Faith has depleted.
Shen Changqing refined a portion of the divine crystals again, allowing his Divine Dao realm to officially stay at the mid-stage limit of the sixth heaven. Then, he stopped.
It's not that he didn't want to enter the sixth level of the Divine Realm.
>Just because after refining some divine crystals, the divine fire became unstable again, if it forcefully breaks through, it is very likely to cause the birth of a heart demon.
The realm of Shinto has no room for temporary improvement.
Next.
What truly needs to be improved is one's martial arts realm and the techniques of divine powers.
After the ninetieth floor of the Heavenly Ascension Tower, he not only obtained the Pure Stone but also some high-grade pills.
Those medicinal pills.
All are at the level of a god king.
Although the number is small, it should be no problem to open up some secret caches if we wanted to.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"But now there is a problem, that of the hidden realm's opening. Can it allow me to complete a cycle of the middle Zhoutian If not, even if I spend time refining it, it won't increase my strength by much for the time being."
As for divine abilities, with the Dao comprehension I gained earlier, if I can seize this opportunity to thoroughly comprehend the Starry Heavens Myriad Phenomena Divine Ability and grasp its underlying laws, then things would become much easier!
Shen Changqing's expression moved.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
How powerful is the Law of Supernatural Abilities
He wasn't actually very clear on it.
But since divine abilities stem from the condensation of rules into phantoms, the power of rules cannot be compared to ordinary divine abilities.
Although he could reach the ninety-eighth floor of the Sky Piercing Tower by borrowing from both martial arts and divine power, the true foundation still lay in the Starry Cosmos Divine Skill.
A complete mastery of the Divine Ability, is already incredibly powerful in itself.
Moreover, the power of the physical body's secrets enhances divine abilities, making them surge wildly. They have already surpassed the scope of what a first-grade divine ability should possess.
That's all there is to it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
... He was able to slay eight God Realm Tenth Layer tower guards with his Sixth Layer God Realm cultivation.
Realm is fundamental.
But when the realm hasn't been elevated, supernatural powers can play a very decisive role.
As soon as I thought of this.
Shen Changqing settled his mind and began to contemplate the insights about palm dao within his sea of awareness.
It's a reflection.
In essence, it is a reproduction of the mystery behind that palm strike.
In that instant, as his mind plunged deep into the trance, he saw the mysterious being's outstretched palm.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
All things are born and die!
Heavens rise and fall!
Although it appeared to be an ordinary, commonplace palm strike, it actually contained the profound essence of the Dao.
What is the Tao
In a sense, the Dao is the rule.
What does "rule" mean
>
Rules permeate the heavens and exist within all living beings.
But some rules are hidden and unnoticeable, while others are clearly visible to all, able to be understood by other beings.
It is not easy to truly make the rules apparent.
Only understanding the rules.
Only then can the rules be revealed.
It seems somewhat contradictory, but Shen Changqing understood the reason behind it.
The rules comprehended within all things in heaven and earth are the rules of the heavens. The rules comprehended from other beings are the rules of others.
Now—
The imprint of that palm on his sea of consciousness was someone else's rule.
However.
A stone from another mountain can be used to polish jade.
Shen Changqing's task was to learn from the rules of others and understand his own path.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
This process.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
No one can determine how long it will take.
Time flies.
His heart and mind had already fallen completely silent, immersed in the comprehension of the Dao.
Everything, it seemed, had fallen into an eternal silence.
In the mountains and forests.
A young man is exploring forward.
"According to the information given by my family, that inheritance should be nearby—"
Zhong Shan Guang's brow was furrowed as he reviewed the information in his mind.
>
Even before the Heavenly Domain opened, there were powerful individuals from his family who entered.
That mighty one.
He is the only god king who has ever emerged from the family.
That divine king, before he attained enlightenment, ascended to the Heavenly Domain and mounted the Divine Platform. Afterwards, he comprehended the laws of divine abilities in a certain place within the Heavenly Domain, leaving behind an indelible mark there.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Since then.
Whenever a cultivator from the family enters, they will go to that place to contemplate the imprint.
It's a pity.
The opening of the celestial realm is difficult. Every time a divine platform appears, the celestial realm will open once.
And.
There are a limited number of spots available to enter the Celestial Realm.
Since the fall of the Divine King, the family where Zhong Shan Guangbai resided has gradually declined. For a long time, no one strong enough could secure a place to enter the Heavenly Domain.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Until this time —
He stood out among the strong and was given this opportunity.
In the past.
Zhongshen Guangbai was trying his best to attack the Sky-Reaching Tower, but his strength was limited and he couldn't break through many layers.
Now that he's emerged from the Heavenly Ascent Tower, he's completely given up on his plans to ascend the tower and secure a position on the Casting God Stage.
"As long as we can find the legacy left by our ancestors, this journey will not be in vain. In time, I won't say it will be like our ancestors becoming God Kings, but if we can reach the realm of half-step God Kings, it will be enough!"
Zhong Shan Guang Bai's heart was secretly resolute.
Right now, there's only one Divine Realm tenth-layer cultivator in his family, let alone a demigod.
And he is getting old, who knows when he might die.
Although the Zhongshan clan presents a united front to the outside world, internally there are many frictions. Each powerful figure has their own small faction, which often rises and falls due to the demise of their patron, or is absorbed by another faction.
Now the family of Zhōng Shān Guǎngbái is on the verge of ruin.
If it were to just dissipate like this.
The accumulated efforts of powerful families over hundreds of thousands of years, even if it all comes to nothing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Therefore.
Anyway.
He must seize the opportunities left behind by his ancestors in the Heavenly Domain, and then leave the Heavenly Domain to restore his family's former glory.
That's what he thought.
Zhong Shan Guang Bai's footsteps never stopped, the outline of a mountain valley was already appearing in his vision.
