In the secret chamber, sacred and evil forces were devouring each other relentlessly.
Dongfang Zhao's eyes were tightly shut, his body occasionally trembling as if undergoing so unpredictable transformation. However, Shen Changqing could tell that this transformation was actually for the better.
But there was also a problem. The Barbarian God had said that one drop of Divine Spirit Blood was enough for a hundred Defender Envoys, and each Defender Envoy only needed one percent of it to eliminate their hidden dangers. Yet, up to this point, Dongfang Zhao had already consud almost ten portions of Divine Spirit Blood.
He didn't know. Was Dongfang Zhao too strong, or was the Barbarian God spouting nonsense?
Fortunately, the Divine Spirit Blood was truly effective.
An hour later, Shen Changqing took out another portion of Divine Spirit Blood for Dongfang Zhao to swallow. At this mont, the sacred golden light had completely suppressed the evil force. Eventually, the black aura gradually dissipated. Once the black aura dissipated, the sacred golden light also vanished without a trace.
The vast secret chamber, no longer filled with the rampant energy from before, fell into an eerie calm.
Success? Or failure? Zhou Yuanzheng's face was filled with uncertainty and shock. Dongfang Zhao showed no aura at all, making Zhou Yuanzheng uncertain whether he had succeeded or failed.
Imdiately, Zhou Yuanzheng turned to Shen Changqing, seeking an answer. However, Shen Changqing was intently focused on Dongfang Zhao and had no ti to attend to him.
A breath of ti passed. Then another.
Almost another hour passed.
Zhou Yuanzheng finally couldn't hold back and began, "Defender Shen—"
Before he could finish speaking, a faint power suddenly erged from Dongfang Zhao's still body. This power then began to grow at an extrely rapid pace.
Pulse Condensation!
Innate!
Grandmaster!
General Rank Defender Envoy!
Marquis Rank Defender Envoy!
King Rank Defender Envoy!
Venerable Rank Defender Envoy!
In the end, the aura seed to break through so limit, entering a mysterious and profound realm.
He opened his eyes, and a faint golden light flashed within them before vanishing. With a thought from Dongfang Zhao, all his aura converged within him. The violent, wave-like aura that had once filled the secret chamber had now completely subsided.
"You succeeded?" Zhou Yuanzheng asked impatiently, his eyes shining with expectation and excitent. If Dongfang Zhao succeeded, it would an the fate of all Defender Envoys would be altered. How could he not be excited by such a prospect?
Under Zhou Yuanzheng's expectant gaze, Dongfang Zhao nodded slightly, a faint smile erging on his face.
"Consider it a success!"
He could feel that the decaying aura on his body was now gone without a trace.
Vitality! Endless vitality!
It made Dongfang Zhao almost believe he had returned to the very beginning.
Suddenly, Shen Changqing spoke up, "Defender Dongfang might have done more than just succeed, right?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yuanzheng looked puzzled. What did that an?
Shen Changqing's gaze landed on Dongfang Zhao, as if trying to see right through him. "From what I can see, Defender Dongfang has not only succeeded but also used the Divine Spirit Blood to break through his own limits. Am I correct?"
"Defender Shen is correct," Dongfang Zhao laughed. "I never thought that in my lifeti, I would see the day I break the shackles of the Venerable Rank Defender Envoy stage. The Demon-Subduing Division has always rumored that above the Venerable Rank Defender Envoy, there should be a Saint Rank. Only at that level does one gain the qualification to contend with a Demon Saint. But no Defender Envoy has ever reached this rank. If not for the Divine Spirit Blood given by Defender Shen, I would have had no chance of breaking through, even if I reached the end of my lifespan."
The Saint Rank Defender Envoy! In the Demon-Subduing Division, this was a legendary rank, existing only in rumors. It was purely hypothetical; no one had ever truly reached it. After all, the Demon-Subduing Division had only been established for a little over three hundred years. Three hundred-odd years was an incredibly short ti compared to the long heritage of the Martial Dao.
However, by using the Divine Spirit Blood to break through, Dongfang Zhao had now successfully advanced from the Venerable Rank Defender Envoy to the Saint Rank.
At this mont, he seed to see the future path for Defender Envoys—a path completely different from the Martial Dao, unique to Defender Envoys themselves.
"Congratulations to Defender Dongfang!" Shen Changqing also had a smile on his face.
Dongfang Zhao's breakthrough was a good thing. His strength was already formidable, not inferior to that of a top Great Demon. Having broken through again, he could now reach the Demon Saint Level. An expert of this level was among the absolute strongest within the Human Clan.
Moreover, Dongfang Zhao's successful breakthrough proved that the Barbarian God had not deceived him; the Divine Spirit Blood was indeed extrely useful to Defender Envoys.
"I must thank Defender Shen for this!" Dongfang Zhao said, bowing deeply. He was sincerely grateful. Without Defender Shen, he would have had no chance to break through to the Saint Rank, nor would he have had the opportunity to extend his lifespan.
Now, with a successful breakthrough, Dongfang Zhao had a premonition that he could live for at least a few hundred more years. His lifespan had instantly extended from a re two or three years to several hundred, an increase of more than a hundredfold. This alone was enough to stir one's heart.
Witnessing this, Zhou Yuanzheng was filled with envy. At the sa ti, his heart pounded with excitent. Since another Defender Envoy had succeeded, it ant there would be no problems for the remaining ones.
Defender Dongfang must be exceptionally strong, which is why he consud one-tenth of the Divine Spirit Blood. Next, let's have Defender Zhou try. We'll see how much Divine Spirit Blood he needs.
