Terran Guardian - Chapter 3389

Chapter 3369 Farewell to the Five Degenerations of Heaven

“Boom!”

Immortal energy surged, the aura of the Great Dao resounded. Venerable Xuanqing wielded an immortal sword, its terrifying cold light flickering and emitting rays, seemingly wielding the birth and destruction of the universe. Its fierce aura horrified the mind.

Elsewhere   ,

Shen Changqing activated his fire stick, resisting with the Dao rhyme of a Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint. His immortal energy surged like a raging tide, continuously pouring into the treasure in his hand.

The latter was like a bottomless abyss, devouring even the most abundant immortal energy. Consequently,   Shen Changqing was forced to consume elixirs to maintain his immortal energy.   Fortunately,   Shen Changqing had made ample preparations   for this battle .   With a wealth of elixirs capable of replenishing immortal energy, he had ample strength to sustain him even in the face of a fierce battle.   Furthermore,   as time passed,   Shen Changqing could clearly sense that Venerable Xuanqing’s aura had grown somewhat duller, his once spotless robe now stained with a hint of filth.   The immortal light of the jade hairpin dimmed, and his once radiant black hair gradually took on a tinge of white.   Immortal energy was turbulent!   The Great Dao was unstable!   An unpleasant, fetid odor emanated from him. All   signs   indicated that   this ancient Semi-Saint of the Xuanqing Immortal Sect was now facing the catastrophe of the Five Degenerations.   Shen Changqing was no stranger   to this situation .   Qu Tiangang’s death was due to the onset of the Five Degenerations. The same   was true   now . However   ,   it was clear that Venerable Xuanqing’s cultivation was far greater than Qu Tiangang’s. Even though he now showed signs of the Five Degenerations, he still maintained sufficient combat power.   If it were any other Semi-Saint, the Five Degenerations would have resulted in immediate demise.   However—   as time passed,   Venerable Xuanqing’s aura grew increasingly obscure, as if his face, once barely marked by time, now bore a few barely perceptible wrinkles.   Suddenly…   Venerable Xuanqing roared, and the immortal sword in his hand suddenly glowed with a radiant immortal light. The terrifying sword power seemed capable of ripping the entire immortal realm apart. The terrifying sharpness of the sword energy sent a strong sense of alarm through Shen Changqing’s heart.   ”Boom!”   Almost instantly, Shen Changqing poured all his immortal energy into the fire stick, and the Dao rhythm of the Nine Tribulations Half-Saint was instantly mobilized to its fullest.   A terrifying Dao rhythm erupted, and a supreme phantom emerged from the Dao rhythm, seemingly appearing to have emerged from the vast river of time. In his hand, he also grasped a wooden stick and swung it lightly into the void.   Yet, this simple movement imbued himself with infinite divine power.   Before the eyes of the crowd, the supreme sword energy that pierced heaven and earth collided with this great Dao force.   In that instant,   the Dao collapsed.   The light of the sun, moon, and stars throughout the entire immortal realm seemed to vanish in an instant, leaving only a blinding divine light filling the entire world.   When the light faded,   Shen Changqing stood in the void, his robes stained with blood. A sword wound resembling a piercing wound appeared on his chest, blood trickling down from it.   ”Defeated!”   This was the single thought that crossed the minds of all the cultivators.   Even Yan Wuxiang’s face paled slightly. If   Shen Changqing were defeated, then with their combined strength, who could possibly stand against Venerable Xuanqing?   After all, the power of such an ancient Semi-Saint was beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.   ”Ancient Semi-Saint, your reputation is well-deserved!”   Shen Changqing took a deep breath. The wound pierced by the sword energy was now beginning to regenerate a little flesh and blood, but a lingering lingering lingering Daoist aura was preventing the wound from healing.   Otherwise,   with Shen Changqing’s current level of cultivation, such an injury would heal without a single thought.   ”This battle, I’ve been defeated!”   He looked at Venerable Xuanqing before him, his face devoid of any regret.   Ancient immortality!   Tribulation Semi-Saint!   The power of such a powerful being was far more terrifying than he had imagined.   Even with the treasure left behind by Venerable Danxin, they couldn’t truly defeat the opponent.   Upon hearing this,   Venerable Xuanqing smiled helplessly and shook his head slightly. “A new generation surpasses the old. You are quite good. Unfortunately, if the Xuanqing Immortal Sect hadn’t become your enemy, there wouldn’t be this disaster.   However, the secrets of heaven are unpredictable, and no amount of talk will help.   This time, the victors will be victorious, and I am convinced!”   With each word Venerable Xuanqing spoke, his aura grew increasingly weak. The Five Decays of Heaven and Man came upon him, making this ancient semi-saint appear as old as an elderly man in a short time.   Although his face did not show much signs of aging, the aura of old age could not be concealed.   ”Since ancient times, I’ve entered the realm of Semi-Saints, believing myself to be able to transcend time, unfazed by the passage of time. But now I realize that even a Semi-Saint is nothing more than a larger ant before the Heavenly Dao.   The so-called immortality, how ridiculous!”   Venerable Xuanqing sighed to the heavens, his eyes filled with longing, but more so with resentment and helplessness.   So what if I were a Semi-Saint?   Even before the Five Decays of Heavenly Beings, I had to bow down.   At that moment,   the power of the Five Decays surged like a tidal wave. Venerable Xuanqing’s robes were filthy, his eyes cloudy, and his entire body emanated a foul stench. His immortal energy dissipated and vanished.   Watching Venerable Xuanqing, Shen Changqing remained calm, yet his inner vigilance was intense.   This man was already facing the Five Decays of Heavenly Beings, but he dared not let his guard down until the very last moment.   However.   As the last glimmer of light faded from Venerable Xuanqing’s eyes, the ancient Semi-Saint’s body began to crumble bit by bit. His supposed body, impervious to the erosion of time, was nothing compared to the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.   The moment the Semi-Saint fell and his blood shed, the entire Xuanxiao Territory was shaken.

“Venerable Xuanqing has fallen!”

“A Semi-Saint is bleeding!”

“The Heavenly Demon Holy Land actually won—”

All the ancient masters were horrified. Watching the scene of Venerable Xuanqing’s fall, and the terrifying aura of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, they were filled with fear and dread.

A Semi-Saint was bleeding!

Such an event had not occurred in the Xuanxiao Realm for a long time.

Although the great calamity had struck recently, and more than one Semi-Saint had perished,

the truth was that

for the average cultivator, they might never actually witness the fall of a Semi-Saint in their entire lives.

The shock of such a scene of the avenue collapsing and the holy body disappearing was imaginable.

For the other cultivators of the Xuanqing Immortal Sect, witnessing Venerable Xuanqing’s fall was like the sky falling.

After all,

Venerable Xuanqing was their last resort.

Now,

with the death of this ancient Semi-Saint, they were truly powerless to reverse the situation.

Shen Changqing glanced at the spot where Venerable Xuanqing had fallen. Only the Immortal Stele of Longevity remained, but it had been corroded by the power of the Five Decays.

Naturally, Shen Changqing shied away from such a power capable of causing a Semi-Saint to bleed.

The Immortal Stele of Longevity was indeed precious.

If he could obtain

it, comprehend its Daoist rhyme, and reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm without a doubt,

but the power of the Five Decays within it daunted Shen Changqing.

Even if he did achieve a Semi-Saint breakthrough, let alone one not yet, Shen Changqing would not dare to wield such power.

Therefore,

no matter how much he coveted the Immortal Stele of Longevity, he could not take action now.

Just like the Semi-Saint of the Mountain and Sea Holy Land,

who had fallen under the Five Decays, no one dared to touch the Immortal Stele within.

Then, Shen Changqing looked at the remaining cultivators of the Xuanqing Immortal Sect, his expression cold.   Without his orders, cultivators like Yan Wuxiang had already appeared, slaughtering the remaining Xuanqing Immortal Sect cultivators.   Without the protection of a powerful protector, they were already

dead .   These cultivators were naturally no match. The Xuanqing Immortal Sect was   now   completely routed, and the remaining cultivators had scattered in all directions, desperate to save their lives. They had completely forgotten about the sect’s lineage and inheritance.   In less than an hour,   most of the Xuanqing Immortal Sect’s cultivators had perished.   Shen Changqing did not intervene. Instead, he stepped into the sect and swept his divine sense across, instantly enveloping the entire Xuanqing Immortal Sect.   Under this divine sense, nothing could be hidden from his eyes.   The previous battle   had affected the entire Xuanqing Immortal Sect.   Many mountains collapsed, burying their treasure vaults.   The resources within were reduced to ash by this force.   However, a few treasure vaults remained intact.   These vaults   were also protected by powerful restrictions.   Even Shen Changqing’s divine sense could hardly penetrate and clearly see what lay within.   However,   this precisely enabled Shen Changqing to accurately locate these treasure vaults.   After all, if his divine sense couldn’t penetrate, it meant there were restrictions in those places. Such powerful restrictions meant the things behind them were not simple.   Quickly,   Shen Changqing broke through the restrictions on a treasure vault and stepped directly inside.   Within the vault, he saw a vast, empty space, a vast array of resources neatly stacked.   There were immortal stones!   There were also cultivation resources!   Shen Changqing didn’t observe too much; with a single sweep of his divine sense, he emptied the entire vault, dumping everything into the Seven Profound Divine Pagoda.   As for the specific contents within, he would learn more about them later when he returned.   In   less than half a day,   Shen Changqing had discovered thirteen treasure vaults within the Xuanqing Immortal Sect.   Most of   these vaults were filled with resources.   Only one or two held inherited techniques and other items.   Shen Changqing accepted all who came.   Wherever he passed, he plundered them without leaving a single resource behind.   By the time Shen Changqing emerged from another treasure house, the Seven Profound God Tower was already overflowing with resources.   ”Holy Lord!”   Yan Wuxiang soared forward.   His robes were spotless, yet the aura of blood and murder lingered.   Clearly,   in this battle,   Yan Wuxiang had already slain a significant number of Xuanqing Immortal Sect cultivators.
