Chapter 13: The True Purpose!

  The demon clan has a distinction between humans and beasts.

  Among them, they were all from a distant ancient era, their ancestors were powerful enough to defy the heavens and slay gods, later transformed into humans, and even more so with extraordinary means, permanently fixing their bloodline and physical body. From then on, their descendants were born as human bodies, at most with some characteristics of the demon beasts, such as the Shenhe Wang tribe among the demon tribes, who were born with human bodies but had a pair of snow-white wings on their backs, and the Yingyue Wang tribe, who had a crescent moon pattern between their eyebrows.

  Of course, for this type of demon tribe, if they reach a life-or-death moment, they can resort to the "Returning Ancestor" technique, transforming into their ancient ancestors' state as demonic beasts, thereby doubling their combat strength.

  After all, the ancient era was powerful to such an extent that there were few monsters, and the vast majority of monsters did not have the ability to keep their blood descendants in human form from birth.

  Therefore, for these kinds of demonic beasts to transform into human bodies, they need to cultivate themselves until they think their strength is sufficient, and then choose to cross the tribulation and change their form.

  Apart from this, there are some demonic beasts that are particularly special. They are born strong and have been a symbol of strength since ancient times to the present. However, these demonic beasts remain in their beast form forever, even if they go through tribulation and transformation, they cannot truly transform into humans.

  The current Flash Thunder Red Wind Beast is a kind of demon beast that can cross the tribulation and transform.

  It's just a matter of timing, and it's obviously being forced out of desperation.

  If you don't change your ways, you will be put to death.

  Only by choosing to transform and borrow the power of transformation can one have a chance to escape by killing the enemy.

  "Got it?" asked Yanyu.

  Qin Zheng raised his broken horn.

  "Hmm, this broken horn is one of the sources of power for the Flash Thunder Red Wind Beast. You see that the wind and thunder powers are not scattered, it should be its original source. If refined, melt your vital blood into the Guardian Shield, making the Guardian Shield completely perfect." Yan Tingyu examined the broken horn and made a judgment.

  "I think so too." Qin Zheng nodded.

  "Perhaps the Guardian Shield I forged for you may not be comparable to those famous human-grade divine weapons, and can only be considered the weakest among them. However, one thing is certain - the Guardian Shield was created based on your bloodline's ability to enhance the power of a weapon. It's like a martial artist with exceptional innate talent and a strong foundation, having unlimited potential for future achievements. The Guardian Shield is similar, but its fundamental basis is your bloodline. This will also be my direction for future development in forging weapons. However, the foundation of martial arts lies in one's martial soul, so I will shift my focus from forging weapons to cultivating martial souls as the core. Perhaps in ten years, or maybe a hundred years, the Divine Martial Continent will adopt my forging techniques as the guiding principle for all weapon-forging masters."

  "Ideals are far-reaching, but reality is a bit cruel." Qin Zheng poured cold water on her.

  Yan listened to the rain and smiled, "Your persistence in martial arts is the same as mine in alchemy. If everything goes smoothly, it would be too boring."

  The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  They are so similar.

  "This is probably what they mean by 'birds of a feather flock together'."

  "Pshaw, you're the one who stinks! I'm as fragrant as can be!" Yanyu retorted with a laugh.

  Just above this high slope, about 700 or 800 meters away from the mountain peak where the Thunder Beast transformed after its tribulation, Qin Zheng sat down.

  Crossing tribulations and changing forms is not as simple as that.

  Qin Zheng's right hand opened, and the Guardian Shield appeared in his palm, faintly visible as if floating in blood.

  The broken horn was also placed on top of the right hand.

  Melt and refine the essence of the broken horn into it.

  "Ah!"

  Qin Zheng took a deep breath.

  Using the method of Douhu's momentum, the heavenly energy absorbed from the heavens and earth is extremely abundant, which is also the reason why Shan Lei Chi Feng Beast crossed the tribulation and transformed. This makes the heavenly energy here exceptionally abundant.

  This mouthful of heavenly energy surged into the right arm, causing the blood vessels to emerge like a ferocious dragon, overflowing with dense blood energy. Then, all converged on the right hand, transforming into a transparent flame that burned and refined the broken horn, similar to the process of forging divine weapons. The broken horn was melted into the palm, floating in the blood.

  However, the Divine Soldier Realm requires one boundary and one divine soldier. It is obvious that it is impossible to melt two weapons in the same boundary with one breath, so the two weapons have a posture of two tigers fighting each other.

  Qin Zheng's right hand clenched tightly without haste.

  The transparent flame transformed from the blood energy instantly backlashed and submerged into his palm, wrapping the Guardian Shield and Broken Edge together for refinement.

  The divine soldier domain's smelting due to Qin Zheng's blood and energy being too strong, others find it hard to cultivate like ascending to heaven, but he finds it easy. Now that he has smelted the Broken Corner and Guardian Shield through the divine soldier domain, it won't be an easy task anymore.

  The Qin regime continuously urged the divine soldiers' domain to operate.

  Five or six minutes later, he opened his mouth again and took a breath of the essence of heaven and earth.

  With that, Qin Zheng took the opportunity to refine himself with the rich heavenly and earthly essence brought by the transformation of the Flash Thunder Red Wind Beast. He spent almost an hour, during which time the Flash Thunder Red Wind Beast was baptized by the tribulation lightning seven or eight times, before he finally completed it.

  Corner thoroughly melted.

  "This is indeed the Divine Soldier Realm, if it were any other flame, I estimate that even after three or four hours, it would be difficult to refine it, let alone smelt it. The Divine Soldier Realm is truly extraordinary."

  Qin Zheng opened his palm and a protective shield appeared.

  The Guardian Shield is now more beautiful, originally the surface was bare and had nothing on it. Now, it's adorned with wind and thunder patterns, and more importantly, upon closer inspection, a thin layer of treasure light covers it. When activated, a circle of nine thin, curved knives as thin as cicada wings shoot out, these curved knives are even more razor-sharp than before, emitting a chilling aura that sends shivers down one's spine.

  "Hmm, this Guardian Shield is indeed incredibly powerful. It seems that from now on, I'll have to diligently cultivate my bloodline and constantly upgrade it to help it grow." Qin Zheng was overjoyed.

  Through the Godly Domain, human shield merged as one, is truly merged, any slight change in the Guardian Shield can be clearly sensed.

  According to his judgment, the previous load was at most a one-time flight of over 400 meters, and now it is estimated to be over 500 meters, which is the change in the Guardian Shield.

  Qin Zheng put away his Guardian Shield and looked into the distance.

  Only at the summit of the mountain, the Thunder Beast was baptized by lightning and flashed with crimson wind, constantly striking it, but it bathed in it, roaring incessantly, never showing any signs of transformation.

  Those six powerful warriors retreated far away, to a distance of over three hundred meters, and did not dare to approach.

  Qin Yi, Yunduo and others were even farther away.

  "Some things aren't right." Yan Ting's delicate eyebrows furrowed.

  "Hasn't transformed yet?" Qin Zheng asked.

  "As far as I know, the transformation of the tribulation and the shape is between the seventh tribulation thunder and the tenth tribulation thunder. The tribulation thunder has the characteristic of shaping, which can leave the strongest characteristics of the demon beast to the human body after transformation, and can also enhance it. For example, the biggest characteristic of the Flash Thunder Red Wind Beast is its single horn. If it transforms during this period, its single horn can be transformed into bone thorns, existing in various positions on the bones, and can be transformed into a single horn at any time, killing people unexpectedly."

  Qin Zheng stared at the lightning-fast beast that was bathing in the thunder, its body flashing with an even more frantic red wind. "Able to control the thunder, it shouldn't be relying on the tribulation's transformation to recover itself, right?"

  "This is almost equivalent to giving up on transformation, as demonic beasts usually only have one chance at tribulation transformation. Only extremely powerful demonic beasts may have a second or even third chance. This Scarlet Lightning Wind Beast seems to not have a second chance at tribulation transformation." said Yan Tingyu.

  "That's also a matter of survival first, if transformed, judging from its state, it's probably a dead end." Qin Zheng swept his eyes over the six great martial arts masters, this was forced by the situation.

  Rumbling thunder keeps going on.

  The scale of this tribulation is not particularly large, and if the distance is a bit far, it may not be noticeable. Even so, the power of the tribulation thunder is still quite astonishing.

  When the lightning fell, after fifteen bolts of lightning, the Scarlet Wind Beast suddenly let out a mournful howl, its body rapidly expanding to about ten meters in height. Then it raised its head and let out a frantic whine. A bolt of lightning descended from the dark clouds above and struck the broken horn. Immediately afterwards, it turned its head towards the six great martial artists of the Six Great Sects.

  "Boom!"

  That broken horn place, the thunder converges, under a red wind wrapping, bursts out with a loud noise.

  At this moment, the lightning transformed into a crimson color, shrouding the six great martial masters of the Wu Realm.

  After a loud thunderclap, those six powerful warriors of the Wu Jing realm vanished into thin air and turned to dust.

  The Scarlet Lightning Beast's body shrunk rapidly, letting out a pained roar. The unique aura it possessed also seemed to have undergone some changes, having a hint of the Beast King's flavor.

  "It turns out that this Thunder Beast is a descendant of the royal family among such demons, with the blood of the Thunder Beast King in its body, but it's very diluted. It's not actually a transformation after crossing the tribulation, but rather using the transformation to forcibly stimulate the thin royal bloodline in its body!" Yan Tingyu's face was filled with doubt, "It seems like it failed."

  "Crossing the tribulation and transforming the form to stimulate the blood vessels is the most dangerous and unacceptable, but there's no other way to survive," said Qin Zheng.

  The words had barely fallen when the miniature Flashing Thunder Beast suddenly collapsed on the mountain peak, its wound bleeding out fresh blood with a faint golden color, clearly indicating that the Bloodline Activation had failed.

  At this time, the distant cloud of onlookers shouted: "What are you still dawdling for? Go catch some live ones!"

  Those house slaves who were not very strong took up their knives and guns and charged forward.

  The scarlet wind beast slowly got up, its body covered in blood, and walked slowly to the other side of the mountain, still refusing to give up and wanting to leave.

  "You stay here, I'll go." Qin Zheng said to Yan Tingyu.

  "Be careful, this Scarlet Wind Leopard is still very frightening if it's desperate." Yanyu Ting reminded.

  Qin Zheng nodded, standing on the high slope, looking at the two large groups of house slaves from the Wang Fu rushing over in the distance. These people weren't slow, but climbing up the mountain would take some time. He glanced at the mountain peak, shook his hand and threw out the Guardian Shield, he also leaped into the air, stepping onto the surface of the Guardian Shield.

  Whoosh!

  The Guardian's Shield pierced through the air, a sharp whistling sound tearing apart the quiet sky.
