Terran Guardian - Chapter 3316

Chapter 3297: The Strength of the Prison Emperor (Please vote for me later in the morning!)

Amidst the Nine Heavens,

a vast army stood in formation.

The Hell-Suppressing Emperor, clad in a black imperial robe, emanated a surging Daoist aura, as if the mountains, rivers, and states were evolving, or the sun, moon, and stars were rotating. A terrifying pressure emanated from him, causing the surrounding strong winds to strangely calm.

“Tianyue, Beidou, Nandou, Yaoguang!”

the Hell-Suppressing Emperor spoke slowly.

Immediately,

four Immortal Emperors in black battle armor stepped forward.

“Emperor!”

“The four of you will lead a hundred thousand immortal soldiers to directly attack the Tailuo Immortal Mine. Seize it immediately and prevent it from falling into the hands of other forces!”

“As you command!”

The four Immortal Emperors obeyed, leading a hundred thousand soldiers to tear through the void, heading towards the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

The Hell-Suppressing Emperor glanced in the direction of the army’s departure, then averted his gaze.   Below the Emperor of the

Nine Mountains Immortal Court   were the Twelve Star Lords.   While these four weren’t among the top-tier of the Twelve Star Lords, they had all reached the Immortal Emperor realm, clearly possessing extraordinary strength.   As far as the Prison-Suppressing Emperor knew, the Tailuo Immortal Mine was governed by only two Immortal Emperors from the Celestial Demon Sacred Land   . Their strength wasn’t particularly strong, but the might of the Four Star Lords was believed to be sufficient to suppress them. The reason he didn’t send more troops was because he wanted to retain absolute power to deal with the Celestial Demon Sacred Land’s main force.   The Prison-Suppressing Emperor had never been careless regarding the Celestial Demon Sacred Land   .   Before attacking the Celestial Demon Sacred Land, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court had already gathered some intelligence about it.   The Prison-Suppressing Emperor was quite impressed with the strength of the Celestial Demon Sacred Lord.   Now that the Celestial Demon Sacred Land boasted over a dozen Immortal Emperors, he naturally had to approach it with caution.   As for the possibility that the Celestial Demon Sacred Land held a legacy of immortality, the Prison-Suppressing Emperor honestly didn’t believe it.   The reason was simple:   if the Celestial Demon Sacred Land truly possessed such power, how could it be content to remain isolated in a corner?   Because of the presence of an ancient semi-saint, the Mingguang Holy Land has conquered numerous immortal realms in just a few thousand years.   If the Tianyao Holy Land had a powerful being of this caliber, it would have already emulated the Mingguang Holy Land and annexed other high-level immortal realms.   After all, with the apocalypse approaching, simply retreating is not a good idea.   Those truly powerful should seize this opportunity to strengthen themselves.   Therefore,   while it’s unclear how the Tianyao Saint Lord managed to temporarily prevent the Mingguang Holy Land from attacking them,   it’s entirely possible that   the Tianyao Holy Land could not possibly harbor a being seeking immortality.   Furthermore, given the importance of the Tailuo Immortal Mine, the Hell-Suppressing Emperor must secure it.   If they could secure it, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court would greatly increase its power.   At this moment, the Hell-Suppressing Emperor looked towards the Nine Heavens,   his expression   indifferent.   ”They’re coming!”   Before he could finish his words, the void before him tore apart.   A figure in green appeared before him.   ”Are you the Heavenly Demon Sacred Lord Shen Hong?”   The Hell-Suppressing Emperor looked at the newcomer, his eyes filled with a hint of scrutiny.   Elsewhere,   Shen Changqing stood in the void, his hands behind his back. He glanced at the Hell-Suppressing Emperor, then at the many powerful figures behind him.   ”Thirteen Immortal Emperors!”   ”Thirty million troops!”   ”It seems the Nine Mountains Immortal Court is determined to destroy our Heavenly Demon Sacred Land this time. However, I’ve heard the Nine Mountains Immortal Court has three great Emperors. I wonder which one you are?”   Shen Changqing’s final gaze fell back on the Hell-Suppressing Emperor, who was leading the charge.   His expression remained calm throughout, as if even the Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s unleashing of its might couldn’t truly move him.   ”This Emperor will suppress the Prison!”   The Hell-Suppressing Emperor’s gaze towards Shen Changqing was filled with admiration.   ”Facing the might of my Nine Mountains Immortal Court, you remain so calm and composed. There are definitely not many Immortal Emperors in the world who can achieve this. If you are willing to lead the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land to submit to the Nine Mountains Immortal Court today, this Emperor will show mercy and spare your life!”   ”I heard that the strongest in the Nine Mountains Immortal Court is that Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor. Without him, how can you be so confident that you can destroy my Heavenly Demon Sacred Land with only thirteen Immortal Emperors?”   Shen Changqing didn’t respond to the Hell-Suppressing Emperor’s words, a hint of amusement on his face.   His words   made the Nine Mountains Immortal Court Emperor’s face darken slightly.   ”To deal with a mere Heavenly Demon Sacred Land, why does the Heavenly Emperor need to personally take action? This Emperor alone is enough!”   As the Hell-Suppressing Emperor spoke, the void behind Shen Changqing shattered. Numerous Immortal Emperors, led by Gu Zhou, and the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land army also emerged from the shattered space.   Seeing the many powerful figures arriving from the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land, the Hell-Suppressing Emperor’s eyes were indifferent.   ”I heard the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land boasts fifteen Immortal Emperors, yet only eleven have arrived. It seems the reputation of our Nine Mountains Immortal Court isn’t enough…”   Before he could finish,   another large army appeared, arriving from the sky.   This time, they were the masters of the Taihao and Nanchen Immortal Sects.   Seeing the arrival of these two sects, the Immortal Emperor Zhenyue’s expression darkened, but the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land felt a significant relief.   Shen Changqing smiled and said, “Today, you have thirteen Immortal Emperors in the Nine Mountains Immortal Court, and our Heavenly Star Region also has thirteen Immortal Emperors. Let’s see who’s the winner!”   ”Then let this Emperor see your strength and whether you’re worthy enough to take on the Nine Mountains Immortal Court!”   The Emperor Zhenyue stopped talking. He had only previously expressed his desire to subdue the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land because of Shen Changqing’s considerable strength.   After all, if a war truly broke out, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court would undoubtedly suffer losses.   Taking the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land without a single drop of blood would be the ultimate victory.   But now that it seemed impossible, the Prison Emperor wasted no time. ”   If you won’t surrender!   Then destroy me—   the next moment.”   The Prison Emperor struck out. A black, ancient mace suddenly appeared, bearing the force of overturning heaven and earth, as it suddenly struck down upon Shen Changqing.   The force of this mace instantly disintegrated the surrounding void, and the vast river of the Great Dao seemed to shatter.

“Boom!”

The moment the Prison-Suppressing Emperor struck, Shen Changqing stepped into the air, his entire body erupting with a powerful burst of energy. His right fist launched a powerful blow.

The black ancient mace collided with Shen Changqing’s fist, sending a terrifying wave of energy radiating outward from both of them.

Shen Changqing’s body trembled, and the skin on his fist cracked, but no blood flowed. In less than a breath, the injury healed.

Looking at the other side,

the Prison-Suppressing Emperor’s hand trembled slightly as he gripped the black ancient mace. He looked at the unharmed Shen Changqing, his pupils constricting.

“A body comparable to a top-grade Imperial Immortal weapon!”

“Well, well, I didn’t expect this Emperor to underestimate you. If so, I will show you my true strength!”

The Prison-Suppressing Emperor’s shock quickly subsided. He gazed at Shen Changqing with a fierce fighting spirit, his eyes filled with a terrifying aura of Dao that overwhelmed heaven and earth.

Then…

The Prison-Suppressing Emperor took a step forward, his figure instantly vanishing. His ancient black mace shattered the void, appearing directly above Shen Changqing’s head.

The force of this mace, if delivered, would be too great for even a fleshly being comparable to a supreme imperial immortal weapon.

However—

the moment the force of this blow impacted, Shen Changqing’s form vanished like foam.

An afterimage!

Upon seeing this, the Prison-Suppressing Emperor’s expression changed slightly.

Almost instantly,

a blood-red sword energy pierced through heaven and earth. A power as profound as the depths of annihilation erupted from behind the Prison-Suppressing Emperor. The deadly threat instantly intimidated the Emperor of the Nine Mountains Immortal Court.

“Boom!”

The Nine-Directional Universe’s phantom descended, its powerful Dao rhyme overwhelming the heavens and earth.

In the next instant,

the Immortal-Slaying Sword’s momentum was unstoppable, instantly piercing the Nine-Directional Universe’s phantom.

But at that moment, the Prison-Suppressing Emperor turned and swung his mace, colliding with the blood-red sword energy. A powerful force erupted, sending the Nine Mountains Immortal Court Emperor’s blood surging.

“It seems your strength isn’t as strong as I imagined!”

Shen Changqing chuckled as he watched the Prison-Suppressing Emperor block the attack.

Before he could finish his words ,

Shen Changqing charged forward.

Ever since he began refining the weapon, his own flesh had become his most powerful divine weapon.

Moreover,

at Shen Changqing’s current level of cultivation, transforming everything into a sword was a piece of cake.

Therefore,

as Shen Changqing charged forward, a single finger brought down a piercing, annihilating sword energy that engulfed everything, vowing to annihilate the Prison-Suppressing Emperor on the spot.

Facing Shen Changqing’s verbal provocation, the Prison-Suppressing Emperor remained calm, and a powerful force suddenly erupted from his ancient black mace.

“Kill!”

…

Boom!

Boom!!!

At this moment.

Both figures broke through the Nine Heavens and stepped into the Primal Chaos.

With every breath,

they exchanged blows no fewer than a million times.

The ripples unleashed by each collision reduced billions of miles of the void to dust, even annihilating ancient stars in an instant.

This terrifying aura naturally drew the attention of many powerful beings.

“Such a powerful aura! Who are these two powerful beings?”

Awakening ancient beings gazed towards the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, secretly shocked upon witnessing the clash.

But many more cultivators recognized their identities.   It was simply because both Shen Changqing and the Prison-Suppressing Emperor were renowned throughout the Divine Wind State.   The former was self-evident.

As   for the latter,   the Nine Mountains Immortal Court was now engaged in wars with all sides, and as one of the Three Great Emperors, the Prison-Suppressing Emperor naturally engaged in frequent actions.   However—   what the other powerful beings could not have anticipated was that   the Prison-Suppressing Emperor’s power seemed even more terrifying than rumored.   ”I originally thought the three great emperors of the Nine Mountains Immortal Court were merely ordinary peak-level Immortal Emperors, but now it seems that the power of this Prison-Suppressing Emperor is definitely not just that simple.   With such power, he is even comparable to those powerful figures on the Immortal Emperor Monument!”   ”The Prison-Suppressing Emperor is indeed terrifying, but that Heavenly Demon Saint is no ordinary person either. His strength has increased significantly since his initial battle with the Xuanwu Immortal Court…” (End of this chapter)
