Chapter 1357: Gifts from the Heavens
y the tribulation for the Tian Luo Clan. As long as they survive this ordeal, the Tian Luo Clan will be able to reclaim their position of honor among the divine races in this world."The masterwork of...On the heavy city walls, mottled blood was congealed, like golden spots. Although it was an extremely brilliant color, it gave people an unspeakable sense of heaviness.
This is the Heavenly Barrier.
The Imperial Palace forged this priceless treasure in unity with all the divine clans, sparing no expense.
That's not all.
The entire Heavenly Barrier was inscribed with numerous formations. As soon as anyone stepped onto the city wall, they could feel the constant flow of power beneath their feet.
Of course.
These formations are all relatively low in rank, with the vast majority being first-rank formations. Very few reach the second rank. While they are useful for ordinary God Kings and God Lords, they have little effect on powerful beings like Shen Changqing.
It is now.
Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back on top of the city wall, looking at the bronze gate standing in the void before him. A strange and evil aura permeated the air. In that endless darkness, it seemed as if an unseen eye was staring right at him.
“The Dark Master...”
Shen Changqing couldn't help but think back to when he had deduced the future celestial mechanisms. A powerful figure had once reached across time and space, intervening. At first, he hadn't known who that powerful figure was, but now it seemed highly likely that they were the legendary Dark Forbidden Lord.
Dark Lord!
From the conversation with the Heavenly Mandate Emperor, it seems that he too is unaware of the origin of the Dark Forbidden Master.
But the mere fact that a Dark Lord could disrupt the Yin-Yang order and manipulate powerful beings from the netherworld to invade the heavens is enough to prove that the Dark Lord is extraordinary.
If deities had strengths and weaknesses, the Dark Forbidden Master would undoubtedly be among the strongest.
However.
Shen Changqing had no fear of the Dark Forbidden Lord.
As long as the celestial rules do not change, even the Dark Forbidden Master would not dare to step into the celestial realm.

The opponent has spent years only allowing the undead to assault the heavens, constantly expanding their underworld realm. They have never truly appeared to attack the heavens themselves, which is telling.
Although the Dark Lord is powerful, he should also be unable to withstand the suppression of the rules of heaven.
Though hiding behind the shadows, Shen Changqing actually hoped that the Dark Lord would truly appear. If they fought in the Heavenly Realm, he was confident he wouldn't be afraid of the Dark Lord.
It's a pity.
The other party was clearly extremely cautious and didn't intend to leave the Netherworld at all.
Looking at the Nether Gate, Shen Changqing's thoughts shifted from the Dark Forbidden Master to other places.
During the conversation with the Heavenly Mandate Emperor, it was revealed that the ancient war almost shattered the heavens. This resulted in cracks appearing in the celestial barriers, thus giving birth to the Void Realm.
According to what the other party said, the Jinghu Shrine these years has been equivalent to the guardians of the heavens, always standing at the forefront of all celestial races, resisting the invasion of heavenly demons and chaotic evil spirits.
If you look at it from the perspective of the heavens, all the celestial races indeed owe the Imperial Shrine a favor.
But if one thinks about it carefully, one will find that things are not as simple as they seem.
>
Had there not been the ancient war, the heavenly barriers would not have been torn apart, and there would be no invasion of celestial demons.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Mandate Divine Emperor, the Shrine's resistance to invasion was an act of selfless dedication. However, in Shen Changqing's view, it was something that had to be done.
Of course.
Regardless of how you say it, the Imperial Shrine withstood invasions for countless ancient eras. The deaths of numerous powerful individuals in the Void Realm is truly something to be admired.
But everything has two sides.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing knew clearly that he was a member of the human race. If the human race were to appear in the world one day, there would inevitably be a war with the Divine Palace.
Whether it's the legends of human extinction or the ancient grudges, this war was inevitable.
"However, human race has not yet reached the time to be born. Compared to the gods and the Divine Palace, the human race is still too shallow in terms of foundation."
Thinking of this, Shen Changqing was like a deity blending into the heavens, silently comprehending the rules of power in this place and cultivating.
For a long while.
Shen Changqing opened his eyes, a look of astonishment flashing across his face.
Just now, as he was cultivating and comprehending the rules of heaven, it felt like water and milk blending together, with no sense of stagnation at all.
This has never happened before.
Rules are the foundation upon which everything is built. To comprehend rules is not an easy feat for any cultivator.
The more powerful the rules, the more obscure and difficult they are to comprehend. It is naturally impossible to grasp them with such ease as we see today.
"Could it be... related to killing the undead!"
Shen Changqing looked at the Netherworld Gate, the doubts in his heart were like a thin veil being lifted. If he said that his changes were related to killing the undead, then everything could be explained clearly.
The appearance of the Underworld is, in itself, an invasion to all heavens. All races resisting the Underworld's incursion is beneficial to all heavens.
In this way.
It is only natural for the heavens to bestow gifts.
As for why there has never been such a rumor, Shen Changqing suspected that it was very likely due to the fact that cultivators from the myriad heavens had not killed enough dead spirits.
The stronger the undead slain, the more apparent the gifts from the heavens become.
Conversely.

Perhaps all participants have undergone such changes now, but because the gifts are meager, it's not noticeable.
Thinking of this, Shen Changqing’s gaze once again fell upon the battlefield between the two worlds.

Now that celestial beings and above have retreated to the underworld, smaller legions of undead still surge from the netherworld, attempting to break through the heavenly barriers.
These strongest of the undead are only at the God King realm.
Unlike other powerful undead, these strongest ones are complete killing puppets, only knowing to kill with no self-awareness whatsoever.
This is a test.
That is why, even after suffering a crushing defeat, these undead continue to assault the Heavenly Barriers.
The same.
Cultivators from all celestial realms and races fought fiercely against these death spirits.
>
"With the fall of eight Ancestral Soul Emperors and countless Divine Monarchs, the Netherworld should be much calmer for the next hundred years. The difficulty of guarding this place will certainly be less than in the future!"
In another direction of the Heavenly Barriers, when the Lord looked at the battlefield between the two worlds, his gaze fell on another direction. There, a figure in green robes stood alone with his hands behind his back atop the city wall, as still as an ancient rock.
Lord of the Heavenly Sect!
Encourage!

Because the first time they repelled the Netherworld invasion, the Gods feared that the Netherworld might suddenly launch a surprise counterattack. Therefore, among the first batch of powerful divine masters who guarded the Heavenly Barriers, Shen Changqing was surprisingly chosen to lead them.
The remaining nine Divine Sovereigns, all of them at the Tenfold Realm, were not weak in strength. About half of them possessed power similar to that of a Holy Master, having already stepped into the peak of a Divine Sovereign's existence.
Such a force stationed itself at the Heavenly Barriers. Even if the Underworld truly launched a counter-attack, all races could easily withstand it.

Even though there was once a feud over the Divine Cauldron, the Saint Lord had to admit that with the presence of this Tianzong Sect Master, he felt a sense of security.
Such powerhouses are far stronger than ordinary God Emperors.
Even a true deity seated here might not be able to suppress the other party.
Before the great calamity, the Holy Master would not have been pleased to see such powerful individuals emerge. But now, with the calamity upon us, such power is what is needed to turn the tide.
Then.
The Lord turned His gaze once more to the battlefield between the two worlds.
Compared to the prolonged warfare of previous years, today's battles are mere skirmishes. A few divine beings taking part can easily crush these small-scale undead forces.
But those at the level of gods simply did not interfere. Instead, they let those below their level fight each other.
Still the same thing.
The battlefield is both perilous and full of great opportunities.
Battling with the underworld spirits and undergoing trials of life and death are highly beneficial for many divine beings and gods.
Since this was a rare opportunity to train, the various gods and races naturally wouldn't interfere.
That's not all.
They even pulled their own races' younger generations into the battlefield between two worlds, taking this opportunity to hone their skills.
After all, since there are no top-tier powerhouses participating, the danger of the battlefield between two worlds will be much less.
If it were a scene from a recent battle, the battlefield between the two realms would be a real meat grinder. Even a trace of residual battle energy leaking out could obliterate even a god-king.
Just as the powerful figures from all sides were paying attention to the battlefield between the two worlds, a terrifying sword intent suddenly erupted. In an instant, the figure in green robes standing on the city wall stepped out. With his right hand pointing like a sword, he unleashed a vast sword aura that swept across the void. The underworld undead creatures that had appeared on the battlefield were instantly cleared by half.
The sudden change in events caused the expressions of the other deities to shift.
He wouldn't take action in idle situations, but now that he suddenly made a move, they couldn't help but wonder if there was a powerful being from the Underworld.
But before the astonishment of the various divine masters could spread, Shen Changqing made a move. He stood in mid-air and remained motionless afterward, leaving them utterly bewildered.

As for the doubts of other gods, Shen Changqing naturally ignored them. After just killing hundreds of thousands of God Realm undead with one blow, he continued to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth.
As expected.
Compared to before, when Shen Changqing was comprehending the Heavenly Dao rules, it became easier.
"As I expected!"
"Slaying underworld spirits can bring rewards from the heavens, but if you don't kill enough or aren't strong enough, the rewards won't be very noticeable.
"
Please note: The "" characters within the original text are not HTML tags but part of the formatting. They would be removed during standard HTML parsing.
Just as I have recently slain hundreds of thousands of undead, the changes brought about would be slightly more noticeable, but the rewards bestowed would also be limited.
In that case, killing ordinary undead wouldn't be much use. Only by slaying the strong among them would the rewards given by the heavens increase significantly.
Especially the Death Spirit Emperors, killing any Death Spirit Emperor could earn a lot of rewards from Heaven and Earth, enough to greatly accelerate one's cultivation speed!
This time, Shen Changqing had verified his own guess.
After the God King, every step of accumulation is actually a comprehension of the rules by oneself. If one can comprehend the power of the rules more easily, the improvement in strength will naturally be much faster.

Shen Changqing looked at the battlefield between the two realms and the Netherworld Gate, a hot gleam appearing in his eyes.
If he had the power to enter the Netherworld and exterminate all the undead who wished to invade the heavens, then the rewards given by the heavens would undoubtedly be extraordinary.
>
However, these things are not what Shen Changqing should be thinking about now.
He glanced at the remaining undead army on the battlefield between the two worlds, and Shen Changqing took a step into the void, returning to the Heavenly Barrier.
