Chapter 4105: One Hundred Million Post-Heavenly Demon Gods

A month later.

Shen Changqing finally understood his current limits.

As expected,

his current strength allowed him to simultaneously create a million divine senses to examine various parties.

However,

to launch a remote attack, he could only create a maximum of ten avatars at a time.

Furthermore—

every breath of an avatar consumed its own power.

“If I were to use ten avatars simultaneously, normally, my resources would be sufficient to sustain me for a month!”

After numerous tests, Shen Changqing finally understood his current limits.

Ten avatars!

Existing simultaneously for a month.

This time was already quite considerable.

A month was enough to accomplish many things.

However,

Shen Changqing didn’t have many opportunities to use the Free Creation Technique.

To be precise,

he didn’t have many chances to use avatars.

More often, Shen Changqing used other acquired demon gods as mediums to observe the situation in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing would communicate with the acquired demon gods again, ultimately focusing his attention on the Eastern Hua Immortal Domain.

The void trembled and twisted, the Three Thousand Great Daos suppressed the heavens, and unparalleled sword intent pierced through the chaos. The vast, abyss-like pressure, even from billions of miles away, made Shen Changqing’s mind heavy.

Afterwards, the Heavenly Demon God did not approach the battlefield, but merely resided within a celestial city.

Even so, it was enough to feel the terrifying aura emanating from the battlefield.

“It seems this battle will not have a result for the time being!”

Shen Changqing thought to himself. Then he looked towards the location of this celestial city. Under his divine sense, he faintly detected some considerable auras.

These auras were at least at the half-saint realm.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing did not rashly spread his divine sense.

He was not currently in his true form, but merely using the Heavenly Demon God as a medium to glimpse some clues about this celestial city.

If he were to recklessly spread his divine sense, he would inevitably be detected.

At that time,

Shen Changqing himself would be fine, but this Heavenly Demon God would be doomed.

Understanding this

, Shen Changqing did not act rashly.

Even so, he had glimpsed a corner of this supreme immortal realm.

Half-Saint realm experts were rare even in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Among billions of cultivators, perhaps only one could emerge.

In top-tier immortal realms like the Star Luo Immortal Realm, half-Saint realm experts were rarely seen.

But in the Eastern Hua Immortal Realm, it was different.

A single immortal city had at least three half-Saints guarding it.

This clearly showed the difference in their foundations.

A moment later,

Shen Changqing withdrew his gaze.

“The number of Acquired Demon Gods is too small; I need more!”

He had forgotten how many Acquired Demon Gods he had spawned over the years.

In any case, there were only 1.3 million living Acquired Demon Gods so far.

Originally, over a million Acquired Demon Gods were enough in Shen Changqing’s eyes.

After all, the only use of Acquired Demon Gods for him now was to be scattered throughout various places as his spies, perhaps able to gather some useful intelligence at crucial moments.

After all, the bloodline of the Acquired Demon God isn’t particularly strong.

Even breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm is difficult for

someone with such a bloodline. Whether even one out of a hundred Acquired Demon Gods can break through to the Immortal Emperor realm is uncertain.

For Shen Changqing, Immortal Emperor realm demon gods are actually of little significance unless they can break through to the Half-Saint realm, in which case they can play a role.

Furthermore, the Seven Profound Divine Tower can directly cultivate immortality demon gods, so he naturally wouldn’t waste too much essence on acquired demon gods.

But now it’s different.

Having obtained the Free Transformation Technique, the significance of acquired demon gods is no longer what it used to be.

As long as there are enough acquired demon gods, then with this secret technique, Shen Changqing can truly overlook the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, and even intervene in the vast chaotic void beyond the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Even if the acquired demon gods are of average strength, he can still intervene remotely at crucial moments.

In this era, the strength to suppress Immortal Emperor realm demon gods, while not allowing for unbridled behavior, is sufficient to handle most troubles.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is so vast; top-tier opportunities might appear anywhere.

Ordinary Acquired Demon Gods are generally weak and find it difficult to compete for these opportunities. Therefore, Shen Changqing can seek opportunities to seize them.

Having understood this, Shen Changqing immediately took action, spawning one hundred million Acquired Demon Gods.

Each Acquired Demon God only requires a single point of Immortal King essence.

A single point of Half-Saint essence is equivalent to one million Immortal King essences, or one hundred million Great Power essences.

Currently, spawning one hundred million Acquired Demon Gods only requires one hundred points of Half-Saint essence.

For Shen Changqing, this consumption of Half-Saint essence is naturally not a major problem.

“One Immortal Demon God in exchange for one hundred million Acquired Demon Gods—if it weren’t for the Free Creation Technique, this deal would be a huge loss!”

Shen Changqing’s divine sense entered the chaotic space of the sixth level of the Seven Profound Divine Tower, looking at the numerous Acquired Demon Gods being born, and he couldn’t help but shake his head inwardly.

The acquired demon god is born at the Great Power realm. Given sufficient resources, they can break through to the half-step Ancient Immortal level in a very short time without any bottlenecks.

Then, relying on their bloodline advantages, breaking through to the Ancient Immortal level is also effortless.

For such a bloodline, even if there are some bottlenecks before breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, it’s not a major problem.

Only when reaching the Immortal Emperor realm will they face real difficulties.

But the problem is…

even a hundred million half-step Immortal Emperors are nothing more than ants that can be wiped out with a wave of the hand before a single Half-Saint.

In the face of absolute power difference, numbers are utterly insignificant.

After all…

A being at the Half-Saint realm can bury billions of miles of void and sever chaotic star rivers with a single punch. One hundred million half-step Immortal Emperors may seem like an astonishing number, but they are merely the equivalent of a single punch.

Moreover—

in the long run—

it’s unknown whether even one of these one hundred million Acquired Demon Gods will emerge as a Half-Saint.

Considering the bloodlines of Acquired Demon Gods, perhaps one out of every hundred half-step Immortal Emperors might break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

But whether one out of a million Immortal Emperors will break through to the Half-Saint realm is uncertain.

As the saying goes,

the gap between Immortal Emperor and Half-Saint is unimaginable.

This is because it’s the key to immortality.

Taking that step grants longevity; otherwise, no matter how exceptional your talent, you will ultimately turn to dust.

Shen Changqing doesn’t know how many Immortal Emperors exist in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

But one thing he knows is

that the number of Immortal Emperors in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is an unimaginably astonishing figure, but after reaching the Half-Saint realm, it sharply decreases.

You must understand…

Even a powerful genius like the Nine Mountain Immortal Emperor, ranking among the top ten on the Immortal Emperor Stele, had to rely on the Elixir of Immortality to live a second life, yet still failed to reach the Half-Saint realm.

In terms of talent, how many Immortal Emperors can compare to the top ten on the Immortal Emperor Stele?

This alone demonstrates how difficult it is to break through to the Half-Saint realm.

Without comprehending the key to that step, immortality is impossible.

Therefore,

out of one hundred million acquired demon gods, perhaps not a single one will ultimately break through to the Half-Saint realm.

And even if someone were to break through by chance, the time required would be incredibly long.

In comparison, it’s naturally more worthwhile to directly cultivate a Half-Saint realm immortal demon god.

Immortal demon gods, in terms of both bloodline and strength, are far superior to acquired

demon gods. Even if an acquired demon god were to break through to the Half-Saint realm by chance, their strength would likely be difficult to contend with an immortal demon god of the same realm.

Therefore,

since Shen Changqing’s cultivation improved, he has rarely cultivated more acquired demon gods.

At most, Shen Changqing would only replenish the number of Acquired Demon Gods in the Xingdao Alliance if their numbers decreased too much.

But now it’s different.

The emergence of the Free Transformation Technique

has made the significance of Acquired Demon Gods no longer solely measured by strength.

Looking at the numerous Acquired Demon Gods before him, Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve and took out a large amount of immortal stone resources.

“I’ll give you one year. You must all break through to the half-step Ancient Immortal Realm. Do not slack off!”

“Your subordinate obeys!”

The numerous Acquired Demon Gods respectfully responded.

Subsequently,

they began refining the immortal stone resources, and their cultivation levels steadily increased.

Watching these Acquired Demon Gods begin their cultivation, Shen Changqing also left.

One year is a short time,

but it’s enough for Acquired Demon Gods.

The Seven Profound Divine Tower can absorb external immortal energy for its own use, and the sixth level of the Chaos Space is now considered an excellent cultivation place.

Especially now that there are top-grade immortal veins nurtured in the Cangwu Mountains, the immortal energy there is even more astonishing.

With the advantage of his acquired demon god bloodline, and without any bottlenecks, it wasn’t entirely impossible for him to advance from the Great Power Realm to the Half-Step Ancient Immortal Realm within a year.

Moreover,

Shen Changqing had left behind a batch of cultivation resources.

Each acquired demon god could obtain at least tens of thousands of low-grade immortal stones.

With such a batch of immortal stones, combined with the current cultivation environment of the sixth level space, breaking through to the Half-Step Ancient Immortal Realm within a year was more than enough .

If anyone failed to break through, it was undoubtedly due to complacency.

… And

indeed, that proved

to be true.

A year passed

in the blink of an eye.

When Shen Changqing reappeared in the sixth level space, a sweep of his divine sense revealed that all the acquired demon gods had arrived within half a day.

He glanced at them and saw that all the acquired demon gods were at the Half-Step Ancient Immortal Realm.

A very few even had faint auras emanating from them, seemingly poised to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing nodded in approval.

Although all possessing the bloodline of acquired demon gods, these acquired demon gods varied in strength.

After all, bloodline aptitude is one factor, while comprehension, perseverance, and other qualities are another.

With such a large number of acquired demon gods, it’s not surprising that some truly stand out.

Following this,

Shen Changqing wasted no time. Upon leaving the Seven Profound Divine Tower, he released all the acquired demon gods.

However, these acquired demon gods didn’t remain in the Seven Profound Dao Sect; instead, he used his supernatural powers to teleport them away, scattering them across various parts of the Immortal Realm.

A full hundred million acquired demon gods descended, yet in any Immortal Realm, they didn’t even cause a ripple.

Some acquired demon gods remained in the Star Luo Immortal Realm, but many more went to other Immortal Realms.
