Terran Guardian - Chapter 3349

Chapter 3330: The Great Completion of the Ancient Star Domain

Sutra. “I will remember you!”

Xiang Taixu’s face turned cold, and all his divine power exploded at that moment.

The detonation of the divine power of a Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint was unimaginable.

Even the power of the Immortal Court Emperor Seal, which suppressed the void, was torn apart by the force of this explosion.

In an instant,

at the moment of this divine power explosion,

Xiang Nian took advantage of this opportunity, once again activating the jade talisman with his essence and blood. A force engulfed the two people, and they disappeared directly into the void.

After a long time,

the Dao Yun power subsided.

Qin Daoran’s face darkened: “They escaped!”

The power of the Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Even after his ambush and the use of the Immortal Court Emperor Seal, they had not been able to completely stop the two people.

The others’ expressions were also grim, but only Gu Lan had a smile on his face.

“Run away if you will. Xiang Taixu’s divine soul self-destructed, and truly recovering it won’t be easy. Losing a divine soul won’t sever his path to sainthood, but it will at least delay his progress for a considerable time!”

This was the Divine Sun Immortal Court’s goal.

The previous battle for the immortal elixir had seemed to other cultivators like a mere divine thought.

But the Divine Sun Immortal Court knew full well that it wasn’t a divine thought, but a divine soul.

Divine thought and divine soul

are two different concepts.

Losing a divine thought is a loss, but losing a divine soul can severely damage one’s very foundation.

Compared to severing Xiang Taixu’s divine soul, King Xiang’s life or death was far less crucial.

Even if the other party was a rare genius, what good would it do? Without reaching the semi-saint realm, he was ultimately a mere ant. How could

his importance

compare to that of a nine-tribulation semi-saint?

Qin Daoran’s expression softened upon hearing this. “Is Xiang Taixu truly so powerful?”

“He attained enlightenment in the ancient times, and in ancient times, he reached the Nine Tribulations. By now, he’s endured countless Heavenly and Human Five Decays, and his strength is beyond the reach of ordinary Nine Tribulations.

He’s the one from the ancient Xiang family, the one with the greatest hope of reaching the sage realm.

Severing one of his souls now would be far more beneficial to the Immortal Court than slaying the Xiang family’s Qilin child!”

Gu Lan said.

…

In the vast Immortal Realm, nestled within a cluster of palaces, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted, instantly engulfing the heavens and earth.

The terrifying might instantly awakened many of the ancient beings within the Immortal Realm, who all looked in that direction, their faces filled with shock.

“That’s the ancient Xiang family!”

“That aura is Xiang Taixu!!!”

“This Xiang family ancestor has been silent for years. What could have caused him to be so enraged?”

Divine thoughts intertwined, and the ancient beings within the Immortal Realm were secretly terrified.

Xiang Taixu!

The ancestor of the ancient Xiang family from the prehistoric era!

He was renowned throughout the Yunxiao Domain.

But since the Great Tribulation, he has vanished, never to be seen again.

At this moment,

within the ancient Xiang family,

a figure appeared in the immortal palace. The Xiang family head and many elders rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.

“Why is the ancestor so angry?”

The Xiang family head stood in awe, awestruck by the might.

Xiang Taixu’s eyes were icy: “The spirit that I left in King Xiang has perished!”

“What!”

These words caused all the cultivators’ faces to change drastically.

Xiang Taixu was a Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint. The power of one of his spirits was enough to suppress most Semi-Saints.

But now,

that spirit had perished.

This sudden change

instantly filled the Xiang family head with anxiety.

“If the ancestor’s spirit has perished, then wouldn’t the prince—”

“Prince Xiang is fine. Xiang Nian has already led him out, so there’s no serious danger. But this venerable spirit has been annihilated, and recovery will be extremely difficult.

I’m afraid the Divine Sun Immortal Court is acting to sever my path to sainthood!”

Xiang Taixu said in a deep voice.

The Xiang family head instinctively breathed a sigh of relief at the first words, but the second words made his heart sink again.

Severing my path to sainthood!

This is no small matter.

“Ancestor!”

“To think you can sever my path to sainthood simply because of a damaged spirit is wishful thinking.

However, the Xiang family cannot let this matter rest.

Since the Divine Sun Immortal Court wishes to fight, then I will grant their wish!”

Xiang Taixu’s eyes glared disdainfully. An unparalleled, domineering aura overwhelmed the void, causing the three thousand great ways to tremble slightly. The terrifying Dao rhyme and power seemed to be the very chaos of the universe, generating and shattering.

The name of the ancient Xiang family!

No force shall trample upon it.

Xiang Taixu hadn’t bothered to pay much attention to the previous minor skirmishes.

But this time,

he was truly furious.

Seeing this,

the Xiang family’s senior leaders dared not say anything.

They were well aware of the ancestor’s temper.

This battle

was inevitable.

——When

the ancient Xiang family began to concentrate their forces and declare an all-out war on the Shenyang Immortal Court.   In the first level of

the Heavenly Demon Holy Land ,   Shen Changqing was now fully engaged in refining ninth-order star cores.   Three hundred and thirty thousand ninth-order star cores.   The stellar power contained within them was truly terrifying.   Although the power of a single star core was insignificant compared to a ninth-grade super-grade star core, and even more so compared to that tenth-order star core,   the   sheer number of them was enough.

All 330,000 ninth-grade star cores were taken out, each one gleaming like an ancient star. The extremely rich stellar energy filled the void.

Even if Shen Changqing didn’t refine these cores, relying solely on the stellar energy emanating from the void, his cultivation of the Ancient Star Domain Sutra felt like divine intervention.

Compared to his normal practice, his speed was several times faster.

Of course,

even with this multiple increase,

achieving true mastery of this technique would be difficult.

After all, a single star field requires the condensation of 3.6 million ancient stars.

Without sufficient ninth-grade star cores as nourishment, even with an Immortal Emperor’s lifespan, relying solely on self-absorption of stellar energy, success would be difficult to achieve, even until the day of his lifespan expired. An Immortal Emperor’s

lifespan is 10 billion years,

but mastering the Ancient Star Domain Sutra requires over 380 million ancient stars.

This means

it takes roughly 20 to 30 years to condense a single ancient star.

But in reality, the time required to condense a single ancient star through normal cultivation is far more than a few decades.

Therefore,

cultivating this type of technique is bound to require a vast accumulation of resources.

At this moment,

Shen Changqing refined one ninth-order star core after another, a vast amount of stellar power continuously pouring into his acupoints, nurturing and giving birth to an ancient star.

An unknown amount of time passed before

Shen Changqing’s body trembled.

He saw that one of his acupoints had transformed into an ancient star field, shimmering with brilliant immortal light and emanating a terrifying aura.

“The twenty-second ancient star field!”

“Sure enough ninth-order star cores to support this. Breaking through to the Great Perfection stage will be much easier!”

Shen Changqing glanced inward, then continued his cultivation.

With 330,000 ninth-order star cores, he aimed to reach the Great Perfection stage in one fell swoop.

…

Time passed slowly,

and one ancient star field after another was opened up.

When the number of ancient star fields reached thirty-six, Shen Changqing’s body trembled, and a powerful aura revived from his flesh, but then faded again.

Thus,

the Ancient Star Field Sutra had entered its second stage.

But even so,

Shen Changqing did not stop cultivating.

Thirty-seventh Ancient Star Field!

Thirty-eighth Ancient Star Field!

…

Forty-sixth Ancient Star Field! Forty-seventh

Ancient Star Field!

…

Sixty-third Ancient Star Field!

…

Seventy-second Ancient Star Field!

The Ancient Star Field Sutra has entered its third stage!

…

Eighty-second Ancient Star Field!

…

His cultivation level gradually improved, and the power contained in each ninth-level star core was completely refined. The shattered powder of many star cores scattered into the void.

Shen Changqing had now completely abandoned external things, completely immersing himself in cultivation.   He had completely forgotten

the passage of time in the outside world .   And who knew how much time had passed.   As a ninth-order star core crumbled to dust, a terrifying, ancient aura revived from Shen Changqing. Simultaneously, a dazzling light erupted from the 108 acupoints throughout his body.   Instantly,   stars shone in the sky.   Shadows of ancient star regions intertwined.   The power of the Three Thousand Great Daos seemed to surge through the boundless star fields.   For a long moment,   this strange vision of heaven and earth faded.   Shen Changqing’s tightly closed eyes fluttered open, and his cross-legged body shifted. The very void seemed to wail, as if unable to withstand the force.   He gazed inward,   seeing the 108 acupoints transform into ancient star fields, their energies interconnected, evolving into infinite mysteries.   ”The 108 ancient star fields have been opened!”   ”The Ancient Star Field Sutra is finally complete!”   Shen Changqing smiled faintly. As his thought shone, the vast power of the stars spread throughout his body like a galaxy, completely merging with the power of the Heavenly Demonic Sutra.   At that moment,   The jade-colored immortal bone trembled, imbued with a rich stellar power.   Within his flesh,   a celestial light shone.   It was unknown how long it took   for these changes to dissipate.   Shen Changqing, sensing the transformation within himself, couldn’t help but express shock.   ”The Starry Divine Body and the Celestial Evil Divine Body have merged. With this, my physical defenses have been further enhanced!”   Such a transformation   left Shen Changqing incredulous.   The initial mastery of the Primordial Star Field Sutra allowed for the cultivation of the Starry Battle Body. Further development to the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm allowed the Starry Battle Body to transform into the Starry Divine Body.   The moment the 108 Primordial Star Fields opened up, Shen Changqing had successfully cultivated the Starry Divine Body.   But what he hadn’t imagined was   the extraordinary transformation his Starry Divine Body’s power would undergo upon contact with the Celestial Evil Divine Body.   Now ,   with the combined power of the two divine bodies,   Shen Changqing’s strength would be significantly enhanced   .   This transformation was far more astonishing than simply the transformation brought about by the Great Completion of the Ancient Star Domain Sutra.   Feeling the increased strength and changes in his physical body, Shen Changqing couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
