From the Valkyrie to the Endless - Page 167

Shen Qing's eyes were fixed on the Dragon King of the East China Sea. The sword in his hand emitted a thunderous light, mixed with the true flame of the sun, and rolled through the void.

She chopped off the heads of all the big monsters along the way. A clear light flowed from the map of mountains and rivers in the air, protecting Shen Qing and blocking the claws of countless monsters.

With Beitang Shifeng as their backing, the True Lord of the human race quickly organized a counterattack and suppressed the arrogant arrogance of many demons.

Shen Qing's condition showed no signs of decline for a long time, and even the Dragon King of a region could not hold on any longer. Seeing Shen Qing rushing towards him, he immediately wanted to retreat.

Today's alliance is extremely loose to begin with, and the relationship between the monsters is not even close. Once the first one escapes, the rest will naturally be defeated.

"withdraw!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea let out a fierce roar, notifying the many sea monsters under his command. Then, without hesitation, he revealed his true form and rushed into the boundless ocean, followed closely by the Dragon King of the West Sea.

The nature of dragon is water. A true dragon in the sea can move faster than a dragon in the sky.

In less than an hour, the sky above the entire sea area suddenly became clear, leaving only a strong smell of blood, and the vast ocean was completely dyed red.

Shen Qing turned back the sundial, and the spell patterns on his body gradually faded away, returning to normal.

Although his body recovered, the mental damage was irreparable. Shen Qing still felt an indescribable fatigue.

Less than twenty big demons escaped, and most of the demons on the entire star died in this battle.

Shen Qing slowly exhaled a breath of foul air. Even though she had killed so many powerful monsters and obtained a huge amount of energy, she still didn't feel safe.

Beitang Shifeng put away the mountain and river map and came to Shen Qing's side, looking a little worried:

"How is it? Is there anything serious?"

Shen Qing is the top priority now. If anything goes wrong with her, all previous efforts will be in vain.

"Thank you for your help, Your Highness." Shen Qing thanked him and shook his head: "It's nothing serious."

All the True Lords present helped her because of Beitang Shifeng.

Without the help of the Demon Slaying Division and the God Killing Alliance, it would have been impossible for her to kill so many demons on this trip.

"It's my job, there's nothing to thank you for, I'm glad nothing happened."

"What you have accomplished today is an unprecedented feat. You will be rewarded later. For those who died in battle, the imperial court will provide compensation. You will be buried with royal rites, and a shrine will be built for you to worship."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

All the True Lords bowed, with a look of sadness on their brows, and turned around to search for some cultivators who had managed to survive.

There were fourteen True Lords who died in this battle, and only one or two of the hundred flying boats survived by chance. It was truly tragic.

Jiang Youning came to Shen Qing's side, looking at Beitang Shifeng not far away, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter? Sect Master Jiang."

Jiang Youning was stunned for a moment, looking at the pair of pupils rolling with dark yellow and black, and finally shook her head slowly:

"nothing."

…………

Shen Qing doesn't need to worry about cleaning the battlefield, someone will do it.

When the imperial court issued rewards and dealt with the affairs of the True Lords who died in battle, Shen Qing had already returned to the Northern Territory, borrowed the blessed land of Jiang Youning's sect, and began another retreat.

This retreat lasted nearly two months.

When they saw her coming out of retreat, all the True Lords showed surprise on their faces.

Compared to before he went in, Shen Qing had changed a lot. His temples were slightly gray and he looked to be in his thirties, as if he had experienced thousands of years of baptism.

During this retreat, Shen Qing deduced that more than five thousand years had passed, and most of his life span had been consumed. He once again broke through more than a hundred divine treasures, and has opened more than three hundred of his divine treasures.

But this is the limit.

Relying on the Star Source Secret Book, she was vaguely about to reach the limit of the Shenzang Realm. If she continued, she would waste a lot of her lifespan, so she had to find a new way.

After opening more than a hundred divine treasures again, Shen Qing's strength has undergone a qualitative change. Even if she does not cast the Blood-Burning Curse, she can easily kill the Dragon King of a region with her physical strength alone.

Her strength has vaguely surpassed the realm of unity and touched the door of creation.

Even for the nine divine generals who had made her feel quite pressured in the past, she now had enough confidence that she could defeat their golden bodies and overturn the altar in one encounter.

But this state was far from satisfying Shen Qing. Although her strength had increased so much, she still could not see the upper limit of Jiuyou. She was still in chaos.

"Shen Qing, what are you doing..." Jiang Youning's expression changed slightly, with worry in her eyes.

"No problem. Improving your cultivation always requires some price. It's just the normal loss of cultivation."

Shen Qing whispered, and the tone of his voice changed slightly, unconsciously becoming more steadier.

Shen Qing shook his head slowly, his eyes dimmed: "I need to go back to the Southern Region."

At this point, she had to admit that she could not cross the Jiuyou barrier on her own and needed help from outside forces.

Now, the only person who can help her is Nanyu.

…………

Southern Region, Baihong Temple.

Shen Qing walked slowly into the main hall, wearing a light blue dress, with her long hair draped behind her, slightly messy, and her eyes a little gloomy.

The old monk with white hair and beard sat cross-legged on a cushion, gently twisting the rosary with his fingertips, staring at Shen Qing, with no surprise on his face.

"It seems that the master has predicted that I would come here." Shen Qing spoke first.

"Then... I'll get straight to the point."

Shen Qing didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly:

"In order to save my life, I would like to borrow your life."

(End of this chapter)

183.

"Survival..."

Yun Ming seemed not to have expected Shen Qing to be so straightforward, and was stunned for a moment.

"The master once said that you are approaching your end of life. You came here just to choose a suitable way to die. If you can save more people, you will die a worthy death."

Such an unabashed attitude brought a smile to Yun Ming's face:

"After taking my life, the donor will be confident that he can kill Jiuyou?"

"No." Shen Qing shook his head:

"But now I'm at the end of my rope. I can only give it a try. At the same time, I also need Buddhist techniques to try to unlock more divine treasures in my body. I hope the master will not hesitate to give me the method."

Yun Ming did not refuse, stood up, picked up the lottery tube on the side, and said slowly:

"When the Buddha did not exist, I cast lots and left the matter to God's will. Ten lots were drawn, and five of them were chosen, so I lost my life."

Shen Qing didn't say much, but raised his hand to signal Yun Ming to start.

Hua Hua——

pat-

Bamboo sticks fell to the ground one after another, no more, no less, exactly ten, all facing up.

On each bamboo stick, the same two words are written, both of which are signed "Shang Shang".

"Ten signed..."

"I didn't expect that I would die in such a way."

Looking at the ten bamboo sticks on the ground, Shen Qing was a little unsure for a moment whether this was God's will or man-made.

"Take this life from the donor."

Yunming chanted the Buddha's name and said softly:

Shen Qing's expression moved slightly: "Master, I just say it doesn't matter."

"The donor is different from all other living beings. He is connected with great cause and effect. Every decision he makes in the future must be made with great caution. I hope that the donor will be gentle in his thoughts of killing when making decisions in the future, so as to save all sentient beings."

"Master, do you want me to do good?"
