Terran Guardian - Chapter 3364

Chapter 3345 Candle Dragon Bloodline

After a brief break from retreat,

Shen Changqing traveled alone to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

Inside the Tongtian Pavilion,

Han Chuan, upon receiving the news, immediately came forward to meet him.

“Fellow Daoist Shenhong!”

Meeting Shen Changqing again, Han Chuan’s expression was much more respectful than before.   Han Chuan had witnessed

the battle with the Nine Mountain Immortal Emperor firsthand.   The strength of this man before him was simply terrifying.   Without the immortality,   it would be difficult for anyone to rival him.   Han Chuan had originally considered befriending Shen Changqing, and now, after witnessing his true strength, his resolve was even stronger.   Such a powerful being   must not be offended.   It would be even better if he could show some favor to them.   However,   for such a powerful being, showing favor to them was incredibly difficult, so Han Chuan would do his best to help Shen Changqing whenever he asked for help.   Furthermore,   he was the largest client of the Tianxing Domain branch.   Transactions often amounted to tens of millions of high-grade immortal stones, something no other cultivator could match.   For any other Immortal Emperor, even 100,000, let alone tens of millions of Top-grade Immortal Stones, would be a difficult task.   Therefore,   no matter how one looked at it,   Han Chuan gave Shen Changqing his all, not daring to delay.   ”This time, I want 20,000 bottles of top-grade Emperor Yuan Dan!”   Shen Changqing said.   Han Chuan’s heart trembled at the words, but he quickly recovered.   ”Top-grade Emperor Yuan Dan, one is worth 100 Top-grade Immortal Stones, and a bottle has ten pills. 20,000 bottles means 20 million Top-grade Immortal Stones!”   ”This is 20 million Top-grade Immortal Stones.”   Shen Changqing flicked his finger, and a storage ring containing 20 million Top-grade Immortal Stones landed in front of Han Chuan.   Han Chuan swept his mind around it and put the storage ring away.   ”Twenty thousand bottles of top-grade Emperor Yuan Dan. Currently, only three thousand bottles are in the Tianxing Pavilion branch. The remaining Emperor Yuan Dan will need to be transferred from other branches.   But don’t worry, this won’t take too long; it’ll only take a month at most!”   ”Okay, I’ll come to Tongtian Pavilion again in a month.”   ”Why bother making a personal trip? I’ll just deliver the pills directly to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land,”   Han Chuan said with a smile.   Shen Changqing glanced at him and nodded. “Then I’ll trouble you, Manager Han.”   It was obvious to Shen Changqing that Han Chuan was trying to get him a good deal.   But Shen Changqing had no reason to refuse.   If the other party wanted a good deal, then let them do it.   Besides,   a transaction of twenty million high-grade immortal stones   wouldn’t be a big deal for Han Chuan to make a personal trip to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.   Then,   Han Chuan ordered his men to bring over all three thousand bottles of top-grade Emperor Yuan Dan from his inventory.   Shen Changqing didn’t examine them too closely; he simply put the pills away and left.   Even if Han Chuan had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t have been able to tamper with these matters.   Furthermore,   doing so   wouldn’t be in the best interests of Tongtian Pavilion.   Therefore,   Shen Changqing needn’t worry too much.   After Shen Changqing left, Han Chuan immediately dispatched orders to all branch pavilions to gather the remaining 17,000 bottles of top-grade Emperor Yuan Dan.   … In   the Heavenly Demon Holy Land,   within the first level of the Seven Mysterious Divine Tower,   Shen Changqing ingested an Emperor Yuan Dan. A terrifying celestial energy erupted from the elixir, its purest medicinal power surging wildly into the Jiyang Universe.   However, this power, falling into the boundless universe, was like a drop of water in the ocean, causing little turbulence.   Shen Changqing had anticipated   this outcome .   ”Top-grade Emperor Yuan Pills are suitable for the cultivation of top-tier Immortal Emperors, but pills of this caliber are not very effective for me. If I were to use a top-grade Emperor Yuan Pill, the effect would be even lower!”   The low effectiveness of top-grade Emperor Yuan Pills stems from Shen Changqing’s years of excessive consumption, which has led to a resistance to the pill.   But it’s also due to his immense inner strength. Even the terrifying power of a top-grade Emperor Yuan Pill can’t significantly affect him.   A single top-grade Emperor Yuan Pill   is worth one hundred top-grade immortal stones, making   it a significant price   .   To maximize the pill’s effectiveness, the best approach is to stop taking it after a while to deplete the remaining medicinal power and prevent resistance.   However, this approach requires considerable time.   For Shen Changqing,   time is precisely what he lacks.   With sufficient immortal stones to support him, Shen Changqing has chosen to use them instead of time.   So what if his body develops resistance?   Even if the pill’s effectiveness is compromised, it’s not a big deal   .   Just take more pills.   For other Immortal Emperors, the top-grade Emperor Yuan Dan is precious and cannot be wasted like this.   But for Shen Changqing,   the top-grade Emperor Yuan Dan is nothing.   Hundreds of millions of high-grade immortal stones are his greatest confidence. If   the immortal stones are left unused, what is the difference between having them and not having them.   Only by transforming these immortal stones into cultivation resources and then improving one’s own strength can one truly make the best use of them.   Shen Changqing has always seen through this.   In the final analysis,   if a person is alive and the immortal stones are not used, it is a great pain.   It is like if Shen Changqing had hidden the immortal stones and not used them, and then the Nine Mountains Immortal Court army came and destroyed the entire Heavenly Demon Holy Land, then the immortal stones he left behind would have been a wedding dress for the other party.

Shen Changqing naturally wouldn’t allow such a situation.

Therefore—

consuming a few more immortal stones didn’t matter, as long as it could improve his strength.

…

Shen Changqing concentrated his mind, refining one supreme-grade Emperor Yuan Pill after another. The immense power of the elixir continuously flowed into the Jiyang Universe, allowing the Immortal Emperor there to continuously expand and open up.

Within the universe,

desolate galaxies sprouted.

The entire cosmic void expanded at an astonishing rate.

During this period,

Shen Changqing emerged from seclusion once and received the remaining 17,000 bottles of supreme-grade Emperor Yuan Pill from Han Chuan.

Since then,

he has continued his retreat and cultivation.

Perhaps ten thousand years!

Perhaps a hundred thousand!

Shen Changqing has now completely forgotten the passage of time in the outside world, completely absorbed in refining the elixir.

An unknown amount of time passed.

One day,

the Jiyang Universe shook.

As another supreme-grade Emperor Yuan Pill was completely refined, an inexplicable sense of saturation suddenly emerged, forcing Shen Changqing to end his cultivation.

When he regained consciousness and looked within the Jiyang Universe, he discovered it had expanded several times since its creation.

The immortal energy within it was vast, filling the entire cosmic void.

This immense immortal energy undoubtedly further enhanced Shen Changqing’s strength.

“The Jiyang Universe has finally reached its limit!”

Shen Changqing’s expression relaxed, and he looked elsewhere.

Of the twenty thousand bottles of top-grade Emperor Yuan Dan, only a few hundred remained.

He had already devoured and refined the other nineteen thousand bottles, thus allowing the Jiyang Universe to reach perfection.

Such a consumption.

Shen Changqing shook his head again.

But no matter what,

with the Jiyang Universe successfully opened this time, Shen Changqing could then begin to open the Jiyin Universe.

Once the Jiyin Universe was opened, he would have completed the path to the late stage of the Immortal Emperor.

The Yin and Yang Universes complement each other!

His strength would naturally increase significantly!

Thinking of this,

Shen Changqing’s mind flashed, and a piece of the Dao bone of an innate Chaos Ferocious Beast suddenly appeared.

As this Dao Bone emerged, a resounding divine power emanated from it. Such a terrifying aura rivaled even that of a True Dragon or a Primal Chaos Phoenix.

The moment Shen Changqing’s divine consciousness fell upon this Dao Bone, he saw a terrifying being with a human face and a serpentine body, crimson in color, and eyes like a dark, blood-red moon, appear within the boundless void.

This being’s form seemed to pierce the underworld, cloaked in the depths of the underworld. Even Shen Changqing couldn’t truly grasp its full form.

Its eyes opened as day, illuminating the chaotic void. Its

closed eyes brought night, plunging the entire chaotic universe into eternal night.

Its exhalation brought on the bitter winter, its exhalation brought on the scorching summer. From within, the mysteries of the infinite Dao emerged.

The moment Shen Changqing met its gaze, he was captivated by its glint, like that of a dark, blood-red moon. Within its pupils, he seemed to witness the traces of time. It

could be a moment, or perhaps an eternity.

Only when the empty image before him shattered did Shen Changqing breathe a sigh

of relief. As he looked at the Dao Bone before him, his face was filled with solemnity.

“Innate Chaos Ferocious Beast—Zhulong!”

This Zhulong was not that Zhulong!

Strictly speaking,

the Zhongshan Protoss of the former Universe, though known as the Candle Dragon lineage, possessed a power that was as different from the innate Chaos Ferocious Beast-level Candle Dragon as a firefly to the bright moon.

However,

Shen Changqing could sense a similarity in their power.

The difference was that

the Zhongshan Protoss of the Universe was far too weak.

From Shen Changqing’s current perspective, their Candle Dragon bloodline was incomplete.

More precisely,

it was extremely fragmented and extremely diluted.

If

the Zhongshan Protoss of yesteryear had been able to fully inherit this innate-level Candle Dragon bloodline, then no other race in the Universe would have had much of a chance.

Even the human race, once the dominant force in the Universe, would be no match for the Zhongshan Protoss.

This is no joke.

The power contained in the bloodline of the innate chaotic beast is beyond belief.

Although Shen Changqing has never seen a real living Candle Dragon of the innate chaotic beast level, he can understand the horror of this clan from the shadow glimpsed from this Dao bone.

This race is enough to be on par with the real dragon and phoenix, and even better.

Therefore,

if the Zhongshan God Clan really has such a complete bloodline, it would be easy for them to dominate the dust universe.

Similarly,

this Candle Dragon Dao bone

is also a kind of extremely dark Yin bone.

Shen Changqing’s subsequent development of the extremely dark universe is based on the Candle Dragon Dao bone.

He is also looking forward to the power of this innate chaotic beast.

If he can truly comprehend the mystery of this Dao bone, he will be able to master an unparalleled magical power. (End of this chapter)
