Terran Guardian - Chapter 3284

Chapter 3266: Immortality and Depravity

Emperor Si Ze, narrowly defeated! Immortal

Emperor Jiu Shan, defeated!

Immortal Emperor Dayi, defeated!

One Tribulation Half Saint, crushingly defeated!

Three Tribulation Half Saint, instantly defeated!

…

“It seems my current strength, under normal circumstances, should be mid-level on the Immortal Emperor Monument, somewhere around 50th place.

But facing a Half Saint directly is still difficult to match.

Compared to last time, I managed to hold on a little longer this time!”

Shen Changqing now had a very clear understanding of his own strength.

Even among those listed on the Immortal Emperor Monument, there were naturally differences in strength.

For example, Chi Wu Wang was currently only ranked 66th on the Monument.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing used this as a reference.

In his opinion,

even if he was stronger than the other, it was probably limited.

Immortal Emperor Si Ze was ranked 36th on the Monument, so his strength was naturally greater than Chi Wu Wang’s.

Even though Shen Changqing now possesses the True Dragon Technique and has made breakthroughs in both the Primordial Star Domain Scripture and the Heavenly Evil Immortal Scripture, he’s still no match for Immortal Emperor Size.

Given these factors, Shen Changqing believes his own strength is roughly around the fifty-point mark on the Immortal Emperor Monument.

While fifty may not seem like a high number,

in reality,

every powerful being on the Immortal Emperor Monument is among the most powerful of all the Immortal Emperors in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

After all,

how many Immortal Emperors must exist in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm for one hundred to have their names engraved on the monument? This demonstrates the immense value of the monument.

While some powerful Immortal Emperors remain in seclusion, refusing to pursue the opportunity to receive the monument,

these individuals are still a tiny minority and have little impact on its value.

As long as Shen Changqing is willing,

he is now truly capable of having his name engraved on the monument, and his ranking will undoubtedly be high.

…

This year,

Shen Changqing will be seventy-eight million years old!

His strength has reached the top tier, rivaling those on the monument.

With such an achievement,

Shen Changqing naturally had no reason to be dissatisfied.

“At this point, there are only a few in the Immortal Emperor realm who can truly threaten me.

Even if I’m no match for those at the top, escaping is easy.”

“It’s just…”

“Compared to those Semi-Saints striving for immortality, there’s still a huge gap between me and them!”

Despite his improved strength, Shen Changqing had no intention of being complacent.

While the Deduction Semi-Saint wasn’t instantly defeated like last time, he couldn’t hold out for more than a few rounds.

The strength of an Immortal Emperor Semi-Saint is simply beyond the reach of an Immortal Emperor.

Even a powerhouse who has reached the Immortal Emperor Monument is nothing compared to a true immortal.

And this is just a one-tribulation Semi-Saint.   A Semi-Saint has nine tribulations! A one-tribulation Semi-Saint

is merely   the beginning of the Semi-Saint realm, and at this level, they are at the bottom of the heap.   ”When the Heavenly Evil Immortal Scripture and the Primordial Star Domain Scripture are fully mastered, perhaps I’ll truly be qualified to compete with a Semi-Saint.   As for now, I’m still far behind!”   Shen Changqing took a deep breath, his turbulent heart gradually calming.   While increasing strength is certainly a good thing, complacency is a serious issue.   Therefore,   Shen Changqing decided to continue his retreat.   Ten thousand years   would be nothing to even an Immortal Emperor   , let alone an Immortal King or Ancient Immortal.   So, this ten thousand-year retreat was naturally nothing to Shen Changqing.   However—   on the tenth year of his retreat,   news arrived   that forced Shen Changqing to emerge.   …   ”A Semi-Saint in the Ziyang Domain has been corrupted and destroyed by the evil power of the calamity, unleashing a devastating catastrophe across the Ziyang Domain.   In a short period of time, entire territories have fallen, and countless cultivators have been affected by the evil calamity!”   Shen Changqing appeared in the Holy Land’s main hall, listening to Yan Wuxiang’s report.   As the other party’s words uttered, the entire hall fell silent. ”   Death of a Semi-Saint!”   These four words struck them with a powerful impact.   After all—   that was a Semi-Saint, a being who had already attained immortality.   Such a being stood high above, overlooking the vast river of time, witnessing the transformation of vast oceans into mulberry fields. Even the savageness of time could hardly leave a single mark on them.   Even though such a being was still subject to the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, their pursuit of immortality at least gave them the right to truly control their own destiny.   Such a being was   infinitely more powerful than an Immortal Emperor.   Even a Semi-Saint had acted during the Primordial Chaos, and the terrifying power of that had sent shudders through them, even from a distant Immortal Realm.   But even a powerhouse of this caliber could not escape the calamity of the evil spirit. Such news naturally horrified them.   ”Any concrete information?”   Shen Changqing’s expression was grave.   Yan Wuxiang shook his head. “We don’t have much concrete information. We only know that it was an extremely terrifying semi-saint, who, for unknown reasons, lost himself in the evil calamity.   The entire Ziyang Territory is now in chaos, and rumors have it that more than one ancient semi-saint has emerged, intent on suppressing the evil calamity.   However, so far, there hasn’t been much news!”   Hearing this,   Shen Changqing was silent for a long moment.   After a long moment, he said, “Keep an eye on the Ziyang Territory. With the fall of an immortal, this is a serious matter.   I’m afraid the Changsheng Divine Cult’s actions will completely infuriate these supreme immortal realms!”

In the past, when the Longevity Cult unleashed dark turmoils, the Supreme Immortal Realms turned a blind eye. Even the Shenyang Immortal Court, previously mentioned, merely dispatched powerful warriors to annihilate a few worlds under the Longevity Cult’s control.

As for the dark turmoil, the Shenyang Immortal Court paid no heed.

This shows that

the survival of ordinary immortal realms

is of no concern to these major powers.

Ultimately

, whether it was the dark turmoil or the previous calamity in the Cloud Sea Realm, these beings considered them minor incidents.

But now, things are different.

The Longevity is falling!

The Supreme Immortal Realms are both wreaking devastating calamities.

While the Ziyang Realm isn’t the most powerful, it’s still ranked among the top fifty within the Shenfeng State.

Such realms possess a profound foundation and numerous powerful individuals.

The current calamity in the Ziyang Realm is undoubtedly related to the Longevity Cult. It’s impossible for the Ziyang Realm to tolerate this.

If the Ziyang Realm were to take action, the forces currently deployed by the Changsheng Divine Sect in Shenfeng Province might not be enough to resist.

If so, the ten-thousand-year-long Dark Turmoil might also come to an end.

Once the Dark Turmoil ends and the other Immortal Realms recover, they might even target the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

Of course,

Shen Changqing wasn’t afraid now.

Ten thousand years of seclusion

had allowed him to reach the rank of Immortal Emperor.

As long as Changsheng didn’t appear,

no one in the Immortal Emperor realm could threaten him.

But Shen Changqing still didn’t want to confront the various Immortal Realm forces so quickly.

Ten thousand years

was too short.

According to Shen Changqing’s original plan, this Dark Turmoil would last at least ten years, more than a hundred thousand years.

After all,

many Immortal Realms

were formidable. The Changsheng Divine Sect had previously encompassed over a thousand Immortal Realms and possessed a formidable foundation.

A clash between the two would be a truly evenly matched battle.

Without Changsheng,

a decisive victory would be no easy task.

Yan Wuxiang said in a deep voice: “The Holy Lord is worried that this incident will cause the ancient immortals of Ziyang Domain to take action and interfere with the catastrophe of this high-level fairyland?”

“You are right. In the past, such supreme fairyland would naturally not care about the affairs of the high-level fairyland.

But now that a half-saint has fallen, the move of the Immortal Cult is already a slap in the face of Ziyang Domain.

It is absolutely impossible for such fairyland to remain indifferent!”

“But…”

“These things are not something you and I can control. The reason for paying attention to the movements of Ziyang Domain right now is just to be able to better grasp the information from all parties so that the holy land can respond in time!”

After hearing Shen Changqing’s words, Yan Wuxiang and other high-level officials of the holy land nodded.

Gu Zhou frowned: “What exactly does the Longevity Sect intend to do? Normally speaking, it will not benefit them to provoke the Supreme Immortal Realm at this time.

Moreover, the Ziyang Domain has always been famous in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm for alchemy, and the name of the Ziyang Immortal Sect is quite famous even in other immortal states.

To offend the Ziyang Domain is equivalent to offending the Ziyang Immortal Sect, and the price is even more serious than offending other supreme immortal realms.

If it is just to stir up dark turmoil, the Longevity Sect has no need to confront these immortal realms at this time!”

“The Longevity Sect must have its purpose in doing this, but the specifics are beyond your and my guess.

Now, the immortal realms ranked in the top 100 also intend to get involved in the catastrophe.

If this battle can suppress the dark turmoil and completely defeat the Longevity Sect, it will be fine.

Otherwise… the catastrophe will probably escalate further. At that time, it will not be so easy for the Heavenly Demon Holy Land to remain unscathed!”

Shen Changqing shook his head.

While he didn’t want to confront the forces of other high-level immortal realms so quickly, he also didn’t want this catastrophe to reach the Supreme Immortal Realms completely.

As mentioned earlier,

if the Supreme Immortal Realm intervened and could quickly suppress the dark unrest, it would be fine.

But if even the Supreme Immortal Realm intervened and still failed to suppress the dark unrest, the consequences would be immeasurable.

This meant that even the Ancient Immortals within the Immortal Cult would intervene, and even beings of higher levels would be involved.

If a powerhouse of this caliber were to emerge, it would undoubtedly impact many immortal realms.   Perhaps the entire Shenfeng State would be in turmoil.

If   that were to happen, it would be questionable whether even the top immortal realms, let alone the high-level immortal realms, could remain unscathed.   If the catastrophe reached this point, even Immortal Emperors would be mere cannon fodder, and even Immortal Semi-Saints would likely be embroiled in bloodshed.   Therefore,   Shen Changqing naturally didn’t want the situation to deteriorate to this point.   However, he also knew deep down that   the catastrophe was beyond his control.   In this situation, we can only take things one step at a time.   ——   PS: I really have something to do today, so I’m behind on an update. I’ll make up for it at 4:00 PM tomorrow!
