Human Clan Defender-Chapter 763 - The Seal of Bloodline, One More Saint Rank (2 in 1 for Monthly Votes)_2

The gap between one level of the Cave Heaven Realm and another is already so vast; if I enter the next level, the gap would likely be even greater!

At this time, he began to understand just how strong a Divine King truly was.

The Cave Heaven Realm! During the Ancient Times, it was only equivalent to the God Realm. Even with my deep foundations, and currently at the second layer of the Cave Heaven Realm—which is stronger than the Ordinary Divine Realm—achieving true invincibility in the God Realm is by no means easy. The Divine King Realm, however, is an existence that completely surpasses the God Realm. This just shows how truly formidable the Divine King Realm is.

Shen Changqing also understood the gravity of the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord's warning: one could not contend with the Demon Evil Clan without the strength of a Divine King. This underscored how formidable the Demon Evil Clan truly was.

There are heavens beyond heaven, and people beyond people. The Cave Heaven Realm is just the beginning; I must never become arrogant and complacent!

Shen Changqing took a deep breath. The slight arrogance from his promotion to the Cave Heaven Realm dispersed completely.

The higher one stands, the more one sees. Similarly, a corresponding sense of awe will reside in one's heart. People should maintain a heart of reverence as a warning to themselves in the face of the unknown.

Slightly shaking his head, he turned his gaze to the Holy Slaying Saber.

I broke through using Slaughter Value and didn't follow the usual practice of blood nourishment first, hoping to directly reach the second layer's Perfection during the breakthrough. To prevent a lack of energy, I didn't nourish this Dao Arm. But as it turned out, whether blood was drawn or not, the panel's breakthrough is fixed within a certain stage of a Realm. For instance, from the early first stage to the early second stage, or from first stage Perfection to second stage Perfection. Beyond that, there's no third possibility. Jumping from the early first stage to second stage Perfection is just wishful thinking.

Forget it, I'll make up for it next time!

Shen Changqing stopped thinking about this matter and casually tore through space, stepping into the rift. Compared to before his breakthrough, tearing through the void had now become much easier for him.

「In the small courtyard.」

Tiankui lay there sound asleep, unaware of Shen Changqing's return.

COUGH! COUGH!

He coughed lightly as a hint. Tiankui then opened his large, bell-like eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. Afterward, his drowsiness vanished completely.

"Master!" The voice echoed in Shen Changqing's mind.

"During this period, have you made any progress? Have you felt the bottleneck of the Chixiao Clan?" he asked.

The limit of the Chixiao Clan was at the Grandmaster Peak of old, which is the current Grandmaster Realm. Tiankui had long been at this realm. Moreover, from time to time, he had received some of Shen Changqing's blood as a supplement.

Even though he hasn't truly broken that threshold yet, he should have at least touched it by now.

Upon hearing this, Tiankui said, "I have felt the bottleneck; it comes from the shackles of my bloodline. It is very difficult to break through. Only with an absolutely abundant amount of power is there a slight chance of a successful breakthrough. Of course, there's another possibility: even if I gained the power, I might not be able to withstand it and could explode and die."

To break such shackles, one must indeed endure certain risks.

Shen Changqing's gaze fell upon Tiankui, as if trying to see right through him. At the center of Shen Changqing's own brow, the star representing the Heavenly Gate Secret vibrated faintly, allowing him, in that instant, to perceive some fundamental essence. He saw blood flowing, transforming into a mighty Chixiao roaring towards the heavens. However, on the brow of that Chixiao, there was a blood-red symbol. As his gaze fell upon the symbol, he felt a strong Seal Strength.

A seal! Shen Changqing frowned slightly. There is a seal on the Chixiao Clan, but I don't know if this seal is naturally occurring or if some powerful being laid it down later.

I can tell that the reason Tiankui can't break his limit is because of a powerful seal within the Chixiao Clan's bloodline. Unless that seal is broken, there's no chance of him breaking through. As for his idea of using great power to charge forcefully... that's completely suicidal. If he tries to charge forcefully, compared to the strength of the seal, Tiankui's own power is much weaker. If one of them must be destroyed, it would definitely be Tiankui himself first.

Meanwhile, Tiankui lay on the ground, not daring to move. When Shen Changqing's calm gaze fell upon him, Tiankui felt as if his very soul was being seen through; his vital energy, blood, and even his Divine Soul trembled slightly. After a long while, when Shen Changqing finally retracted his gaze, the dreadful feeling vanished.

"I've found the root of your problem," Shen Changqing said. "It's impossible for you to break through on your own by force. However, I can try to help you. As for whether it will be successful, I can't guarantee that."

Breaking a seal isn't easy. Especially when it exists within the bloodline, the difficulty rises to another level entirely.

Upon hearing this, Tiankui stood up from the ground, his voice somewhat excited. "If the seal can be broken, I am willing to try!"

Breaking my limit is my only thought now. If I can't break this limit, my strength will be confined here, with no possibility of further improvement. Shen Changqing is growing stronger by the day, but I've stalled. I clearly feel that my usefulness to him is diminishing. Although I haven't been put to much use before, I can still feel the growing gap in our strength.
