Human Clan Defender

Chapter 1075 - 135-136: Come Save Me! (Two-in-One)

Zhongshan Peng clasped the Thunder Essence tightly and directly deposited it into his storage ring.

"The thirteenth one!"

He wore a smile on his face.

It has been almost a year since he entered Thunder Prison Valley.

During this time, Zhongshan Peng has been in retreat at a secret place until he consumed all the resources given by the Zhongshan Clan, only then did he truly start exploring Thunder Prison Valley.

Now,

he can be considered a genuine Divine Realm Perfection.

Compared to a Half-Step Divine King, he only lacks the coagulation of a Divine Kingdom prototype.

Nonetheless,

coagulating a Divine Kingdom prototype is not easy; it’s not only a matter of time but also the necessity of having a vessel.

Without a vessel, a Divine Kingdom cannot be established, so how can a Divine Kingdom prototype be coagulated?

However,

a vessel is exceedingly precious.

Acquiring a piece of vessel is not an easy task.

Even for a clan, it’s impossible to bestow a vessel without reason.

Therefore,

in Zhongshan Peng’s view, his greatest chance of obtaining a vessel lies not with the Zhongshan Clan but over in the Zhongzhou Continent.

"Once I head to the Zhongzhou Continent, break through the Sky-Piercing Road, and obtain a vessel from it, I can prove my path to become a Divine King!"

The spark in his eyes shot out.

At that moment,

Zhongshan Peng seemed to envision himself immortalized on the Investiture of the Gods, gaining fame across the Heavens Myriad Clans.

Right now, he is firmly standing on the Divine Realm Perfection, with a solid foundation that already surpasses the strength possessed by a typical Half-Step Divine King. While matching a Divine King is challenging, he’s still got a chance.

Moreover,

the greatest danger he might encounter on the Sky-Piercing Road could be a Divine King at best.

Thinking from another angle,

if luck is on his side, he might not face any obstacles at the Divine King level, making his ascension to the Divine Mandate Platform easier.

But to secure success, enhancing his strength as much as possible before heading to the Zhongzhou Continent is necessary.

Hence,

Zhongshan Peng wasted no time; after refining all resources and emerging from retreat, he focused entirely on hunting Thunder Spirits hoping to extract Thunder Essence, aiming to further strengthen his physique.

Oddly, this Direct Disciple of Candle Sect had a fleeting look in his eyes.

"I wonder which step Zhongshan Chou has reached by now. Given the resources provided by the clan, he must have already entered the Ninth Layer of Divine Realm.

At the Seventh Layer of Divine Realm, the power he wielded was unmatched by regular Half-Step Divine Kings. If he advances to the Ninth Layer of Divine Realm, isn’t he capable of matching a Divine King?"

Zhongshan Peng’s expression solidified.

Although he couldn’t confirm his speculation, he had some belief in it.

In terms of overall strength,

he certainly falls short.

But if it’s purely about the flesh, Zhongshan Peng feels his physique has already enhanced significantly. If given the chance, he’d love to spar with his counterpart to see who boasts the strongest flesh.

Unfortunately,

Though Thunder Prison Valley is named as a valley, its actual area is vast.

Even the Heavenly Domain isn’t as large as Thunder Prison Valley.

Thus,

finding Shen Changqing’s hideout is no easy task.

Therefore,

he can only suppress his battle intent and wait until he leaves Thunder Prison Valley to properly compare.

Without staying long on the spot,

Zhongshan Peng gradually headed deeper into Thunder Prison Valley.

As he ventured deeper, the divine pressure from the space grew increasingly intense, imposing heavily on his flesh, and every step left a clear imprint on the solid ground.

It might have been a day, or perhaps several hours.

Zhongshan Peng halted.

He didn’t continue further.

Because the divine pressure was already overwhelmingly powerful here.

Besides,

thunder occasionally erupted ahead with terrifying aura sweeping over like waves.

Upon sensing that aura, Zhongshan Peng concluded it must be the Divine King Thunder Spirit Zhongshan Changhong mentioned.

Unless it’s a Divine King,

how can mere aura exert such pressure on him?

"The Seventh Elder said this Divine King Thunder Spirit is weak among Divine Kings, but it seems that’s unlikely the case. Judging by the aura, if I were to meet it now, I stand no chance of winning. With this, I’ve reached my limit here."

Zhongshan Peng thought to himself.

Proceeding further would mean stepping into the heart of Thunder Prison Valley, possibly attracting the notice of that Divine King Thunder Spirit.

Given the terrifying speed of Thunder Spirits, the Divine King Thunder Spirit would be even faster.

If detected,

unless other cultivators assist, he wouldn’t be able to escape.

Going deeper,

would be akin to courting death.

After weighing the pros and cons, he changed direction to search for Thunder Spirits.

——

Rumble!!

Dense lightning descended, and beneath the thunder was a dark purple light orb.

The destructive lightning had no effect on the light orb, dissolving instantly, almost as if absorbed by it.

Immediately after,

the light orb trembled, and blue light spread from within.

But soon,

the blue light vanished.

The space calmed, leaving only a constant terrifying pressure.

It might have been fifteen minutes, or perhaps an hour.

Once again, a thunder waterfall descended upon the firmament.

After absorbing the lightning, the purple orb emitted blue light again, repeating the cycle.

Suddenly,

the purple orb shook violently, as if something inside was awakening.
