Terran Guardian - Chapter 3388

Chapter 3368: The Strength of Xuanqing Venerable

A mere Immortal Emperor!

If it were his peak, Venerable Xuanqing wouldn’t have taken him seriously.

Even if the opponent was incredibly powerful, having already reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm, so what?

Before a Semi-Saint who had survived the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man three times, he was no different from an ant.

But now was different.

Venerable Xuanqing didn’t want to take action until absolutely necessary.

In his current state, if he did, the Five Degenerations could strike at any moment.

Facing such a catastrophe,

to be honest,

Venerable Xuanqing had no confidence in surviving it.

And once the Five Degenerations struck, failure to survive would mean demise.

Semi-Saints possessed immortality,

so Venerable Xuanqing naturally didn’t want to risk a fight.

Therefore,

he didn’t want to fight.

But alas,

while Venerable Xuanqing didn’t want to fight, Shen Changqing had no intention of engaging in idle conversation.

From the outset,

he had set his sights on destroying the Xuanqing Immortal Sect.

Venerable Xuanqing’s appearance

was well within his expectations.

Shen Changqing’s thought struck a chord, and a charred wooden stick suddenly appeared. The moment he grasped it, he swung it down towards the Xuanqing Master’s incarnation.

With a single blow, the void collapsed and annihilated, and the three thousand great Daos seemed to wail and shatter.

“Not good!”

The Xuanqing Master instinctively struck out, but his expression immediately changed drastically.

Boom—

the two forces collided, and an unmatched force lashed out, instantly destroying the Xuanqing Master’s incarnation.

This unstoppable force descended, completely engulfing Xu Yangzi as he watched in horror.

“Boom!!!”

The mountain collapsed.

The vast Xuanqing Immortal Sect’s main gate was completely shattered by a terrifying force, leaving cracks and gullies like a deep abyss piercing the entire sect. The lingering aura of the undying Dao was even more terrifying.

The force of this blow

not only silenced the entire Xuanqing Immortal Sect, but also silenced the entire sect.

Even on the side of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, Yan Wuxiang’s pupils suddenly constricted.

At that moment,

the Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s Deputy Saint Lord’s breathing instinctively slowed.

For the first time since breaking through to the Semi-Saint realm, Yan Wuxiang felt the threat of death.

He knew in his heart

that if he were to face the power of this attack, there would be no chance of resisting.

If Yan Wuxiang had any thoughts before, they were now completely gone.

All that

remained was awe.

Elsewhere in the void, all the powerful beings who had secretly observed the battle fell silent.

The might of the Heavenly Demon Saint Lord!

Now, it penetrated their hearts.

The power of this attack not only killed the incarnation of the Xuanqing Venerable, but also beheaded Xu Yangzi. The residual power could split the entire Xuanqing Immortal Sect in two.

Such a terrifying attack, no Immortal Emperor would have the confidence or the courage to resist.

Just as everyone was stunned, a terrifying aura suddenly emerged from the Xuanqing Immortal Sect’s forbidden grounds. A green-robed figure slowly stepped into the air. Behind him, a mighty river of the Great Dao surged, and supreme divine might swept across the entire sky.

“A semi-saintly item? Is this the confidence you have to attack the Xuanqing Immortal Sect?”

Venerable Xuanqing’s indifferent eyes fell on the wooden stick. The terrifying Dao rhythm contained within it caused his pupils to shrink slightly, but they quickly recovered.

In that instant,

a trace of greed rose within Venerable Xuanqing.

With his current vision, how could he not recognize the extraordinary nature of such a treasure?

The Dao rhythm contained within it moved Venerable Xuanqing to the point of excitement.

If he could obtain this item, comprehend its Dao rhythm, perhaps he would have the opportunity to enter the Fourth Tribulation Realm.

However—

this trace of greed

quickly vanished without a trace.

Venerable Xuanqing also understood that if he attacked this time, the Five Degenerations of the Celestial Being would surely descend, and even if he obtained such a treasure,

it would be of no use .

He had no other choice.

The Xuanqing Immortal Sect was his life’s work.

Within the sect,

his own descendants lived.

It was neither moral nor logical

for Venerable Xuanqing to sit idly by and watch the sect fall.

So,

he decided to take action.

Looking at Shen Changqing, Venerable Xuanqing was surrounded by the Daoist aura, and even the sky was shifting, a faint sense of impending terror.

“If I intervene in this battle, the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man will surely befall. Now, I’ll give you one more chance. Retreat now, and I’ll forgive all past mistakes!”

“I’ve long heard that Venerable Xuanqing is an ancient Semi-Saint. Today, I, Shenhong, have come to seek the guidance of the Semi-Saint!”

Shen Changqing finished speaking, and his immortal power erupted. The Fire Stick, carrying the Daoist aura of the Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint, shattered the vast void and sky, slamming down towards Venerable Xuanqing.

Seeing this,

Venerable Xuanqing’s expression turned indifferent.

“Well, since you’re determined to strike, even at the risk of my life, I will make it clear to the world that the Xuanqing Immortal Sect must not be humiliated!”

Boom—

Venerable Xuanqing unleashed a palm strike, and heaven and earth collapsed. A terrifying Dao aura seemed to pierce the heavens, obscuring the light of the sun, moon, and stars. For billions of miles, all

immortal energy was drawn in, condensing into a palm that could literally block out the sun and the sky. Even though Shen Changqing’s strike was powerful, imbued with the Dao aura of a Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint, it was unable to directly break Venerable Xuanqing’s attack.

The two forces collided, sending devastating aftermath ripples across the sky. A terrifying breach appeared above the sky, sending a torrent of chaotic energy pouring back.

Simultaneously ,

a powerful recoil cracked the base of Shen Changqing’s right hand, but the injury healed instantly.

“Three Tribulations Semi-Saint!”

He looked at Venerable Xuanqing with a solemn expression.

He had thought that with the supreme treasure left by Venerable Danxin, he could suppress Venerable Xuanqing.

But when they actually clashed, Shen Changqing realized he had underestimated this ancient Semi-Saint.

His power, enough to easily kill an Immortal Emperor or even a pseudo-Saint, hadn’t truly shaken him much.

Without this supreme treasure, Shen Changqing knew that even if he exerted all his might, he would still be no match for this ancient Semi-Saint.

However—

there are no ifs in everything.

With the supreme treasure in hand

, Shen Changqing had the confidence to fight Venerable Xuanqing head-on.

Furthermore ,

the opponent wasn’t at his peak yet. He was facing the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. If he

attacked now, these tribulations could strike at any moment.

He only needed to hold him back for a while, and when the Five Decays of Heaven and Man appeared, he would naturally fall. Venerable Xuanqing

clearly

understood Shen Changqing’s plan.

Therefore,

from the moment he attacked,

he unleashed his full might.

This power, attributed to an ancient Semi-Saint, was unleashed to its fullest potential by Venerable Xuanqing at this moment. The overwhelming might of the heavens seemed to overwhelm the entire Xuanxiao Realm.

Cultivators, no matter where they were in the Xuanxiao Realm, could now sense the terrifying aura of a Semi-Saint.

Many ancient masters in seclusion were startled by this power and cast their gazes in the direction of the Xuanqing Immortal Sect.

“Isn’t that Venerable Xuanqing—”

“Isn’t he supposedly avoiding the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man? Why would he attack at this moment?”

“Who is that other person? He hasn’t even reached the Semi-Saint realm, yet he’s able to challenge this ancient Semi-Saint!!”   ”Hiss…

” These masters gasped in shock upon witnessing this scene, demonstrating the immense   impact this battle had on them. Venerable Xuanqing had attained enlightenment since ancient times   , and his reputation was unparalleled within the Xuanxiao Realm. Even though he rarely appeared publicly, his name remained familiar to many masters.   For some of the ancient masters who had been in seclusion for years, Shen Changqing’s presence seemed quite unfamiliar.   Therefore,   witnessing an Immortal Emperor clashing with an ancient Semi-Saint naturally left them feeling incredulous.   Many even suspected they were experiencing an illusion.   However, the scene before them clearly demonstrated that this was no illusion, but the reality.   Of course,   some masters also discovered a clue:   the Immortal Emperor’s ability to defy the ancient Semi-Saint was due to the supreme treasure in his possession.   At this moment,   the battle between Shen Changqing and Venerable Xuanqing had reached a fever pitch, the terrifying power unleashed engulfing the entire Xuanqing Immortal Sect.   Under these circumstances ,   cultivators from both the Xuanqing Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Demon Holy Land were forced to retreat from the battlefield, fearing they would be affected.   There was no other way.   Such a terrifying power surge would be too much for even a peak Immortal Emperor to withstand.   Had any other cultivator been caught in the crossfire, the consequences would be unimaginable.   Naturally, to avoid being harmed, they dared not approach.   ”The methods of the ancient Semi-Saint are truly terrifying. It seems it won’t be easy for the Holy Lord to truly defeat them!”   Yan Wuxiang took a deep breath, his inner shock lingering for a long time.   He wanted to help, but he also knew his own situation.   This battle   was not something a half-baked Semi-Saint like him could intervene in.   Though it sounded cruel, that was the reality.   Before he’d truly witnessed the methods of an Immortal Semi-Saint, Yan Wuxiang had great confidence in his own post-breakthrough strength.   But only now, after witnessing Shen Changqing’s battle with Venerable Xuanqing, did Yan Wuxiang realize how naive his previous assumptions were.   The methods of a powerhouse of this level were beyond the reach of a half-baked Semi-Saint like himself. They could only   bully Immortal Emperors . To   truly challenge such a powerhouse would be to court disaster.   Forget a Semi-Saint. Even an Immortal Emperor of Shen Changqing’s caliber, Yan Wuxiang wouldn’t be confident of standing up to him.   Even without the ultimate treasure in hand, the opponent would still be the same.   Thinking of this,   he paused .   Yan Wuxiang glanced at the other cultivators of Xuanqing Xianzong, his eyes suddenly cold, and then he attacked directly, killing these cultivators.   This battle is mainly to destroy Xuanqing Xianzong.   Since this is the case.   These cultivators of Xuanqing Xianzong naturally have no reason to live.   ——   PS: 11
