Human Clan Defender

Chapter 1086: Chapter 141-142: You’re Not Afraid of Me? (Double Chapter)

The massive vessel exuding a terrifying aura traversed through the void, causing many powerful beings who sensed the wave to reveal expressions of astonishment.

"Eighth Rank Dao Arms!"

"If I’m not mistaken, isn’t this the Imperial Heaven Vessel of the Zhongshan Clan!"

Among the Heavens’ Myriad Clans.

Not many Dao Arms fall into the Eighth Rank category.

Any Eighth Rank Dao Arms have considerable renown among the Heavens’ Myriad Clans.

Among them.

The Imperial Heaven Vessel is prominently listed.

It can be said.

The Imperial Heaven Vessel represents the face of the Zhongshan Clan, and whenever it sets out, it signifies the presence of a Divine King from the Zhongshan Clan within.

To covet the Imperial Heaven Vessel, one must consider whether they can withstand the wrath of a Divine King and the Zhongshan Clan.

After all—

Though an Eighth Rank Dao Arms is a Supreme Treasure, the losses and gains must also be weighed.

In recent years, the Zhongshan Clan has become prominent, causing quite a stir among the Heavens’ Myriad Clans.

To offend the Zhongshan Clan for an Eighth Rank Dao Arms is clearly not a wise decision.

However.

Some powerful beings couldn’t resist casting their Divine Sense towards the Imperial Heaven Vessel.

But in an instant, a cold snort shattered the Divine Sense, causing a certain backlash.

"Zhongshan Dongxuan!"

This time.

All the powerhouses focusing on the Imperial Heaven Vessel experienced a change in expression.

If the Imperial Heaven Vessel represents the face of the Zhongshan Clan, then the name Zhongshan Dongxuan is the most direct deterrence.

Zhongshan Dongxuan!

The Rule Divine King wielding two rules.

In the span of a few years, several Divine Kings have fallen at his hands, the strongest being the Universe Divine King of the Martial Sect.

Additionally.

The Yan Emperor of the White Jade Clan was severely injured by the combined forces of the Candle Emperor and Zhongshan Dongxuan.

It can be said.

Among all Divine King-level powerhouses, Zhongshan Dongxuan is undoubtedly considered a top-notch power.

Seeing Zhongshan Dongxuan personally guarding, all the powerhouses dispelled their inner thoughts.

Simultaneously.

They could vaguely guess some things.

"With the Dongxuan Divine King directly overseeing, and the use of the Imperial Heaven Vessel, now that clan conflicts have settled, what could drive the Zhongshan Clan to such actions but the Divine Mandate Platform!"

"Very likely, as each clan strives for ranking on the Divine Mandate Platform, only the Zhongshan Clan has shown no activity. Now, with the Sky-Piercing Road closing soon, if the Zhongshan Clan does not act, they will wait another fifty years.

Though fifty years is not long, in this era of great strife, fifty years can change many things—" freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Powerhouses conversing via Divine Sense all deduced the Zhongshan Clan’s target.

This is also to be expected.

After all, in this era of great strife, unless it is a truly reclusive force, no one will forfeit the fight for the Divine Mandate Platform.

Not to mention.

The current strength of the Zhongshan Clan is considered top-tier even among clans.

Logically, they would not pass up the opportunity of the Divine Mandate Platform.

On the Imperial Heaven Vessel.

Shen Changqing and others each found a place to sit in meditation, silently nurturing their spirits.

When powerful Divine Senses swept over, they had to interrupt their cultivation, their opened eyes filled with apprehension.

From only Divine Sense.

They could discern the strength of those powerhouses, reaching an almost unfathomable level.

Clearly.

Only a Divine King could achieve this.

Moreover.

Not an ordinary Divine King.

At this time, they understood why Zhongshan Dongxuan personally led the team to the Zhongzhou Continent.

With so many powerhouses watching, without strong powerholders present, how could they exert deterrence?

"There is no need for you to be tense. Though the Zhongshan Clan is not a top-tier clan, it’s not a place anyone can be presumptuous before. Just maintain your condition and fully commit to the Sky-Piercing Road.

If any of you can set foot on the Divine Mandate Platform, it will not have been in vain for the clan’s efforts.

As for threats from other forces, the clan will naturally handle them, so there’s no need for concern."

Zhongshan Dongxuan’s dignified voice sounded.

Upon hearing this.

The hearts of the others settle.

——

The Zhongzhou Continent lies at the center of the Eternal Ancient Continent.

The speed of the Imperial Heaven Vessel, being an Eighth Rank Dao Arms, is naturally not to be underestimated.

Even though the distance between the Zhongzhou Continent and the Myriad State Domain is considerable, it took less than two days to officially enter the realm of the Zhongzhou Continent.

Upon entering the Zhongzhou Continent.

Everyone on the Imperial Heaven Vessel could clearly see a black line in the center of the Zhongzhou Continent, seemingly dividing the vast Heaven and Earth into two halves.

As the Imperial Heaven Vessel continued to approach, the black line gradually expanded.

Finally.

A towering platform exuding an ancient aura, reaching into the Firmament, appeared before everyone.

Divine Mandate Platform!

Without any origin.

Upon seeing the tower reaching into the Firmament, everyone instinctively thought of this name.

"Sect Master, is that the Divine Mandate Platform?"

In a deep voice, Shen Changqing asked.

Judging by its appearance, the Divine Mandate Platform indeed bears some resemblance to the Divine Forge Platform.

Yet in terms of aura.

Even at a great distance, he could feel the desolate ancient aura, causing his heart to involuntarily grow heavy.

In comparison.

The Divine Forge Platform falls short by far.

"Indeed, that is the Divine Mandate Platform!"

Zhongshan Dongxuan nodded, looking at the tower reaching into the Firmament with a pensive expression.

"It is said the Divine Mandate Platform has existed here since the appearance of the Eternal Ancient Continent, but exactly how many eons it has stood, no one knows.

And the Divine Mandate Platform lies at the end of the Sky-Piercing Road, a place unattainable for ordinary cultivators."

Upon finishing.

Zhongshan Peng couldn’t help but ask: "If a cultivator steadfastly travels along the Sky-Piercing Road, would they find the Divine Mandate Platform?"
