Terran Guardian - Chapter 3407

Chapter 3387 The Victory is Determined

“Huangquan!”

Shen Changqing looked at the scene in the Ninth Heaven. The terrifying power made him feel uneasy.   Shen Changqing had always been very wary

of Huangquan’s existence .   Even though his cultivation had reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor, his fear of Huangquan had not diminished in the slightest.   In such a place,   let alone the Immortal Emperor,   even if an immortal set foot there, he would likely perish.   Back then, a cultivator from the Jianming Dao Sect only glimpsed a part of Huangquan and created the Huangquan Sword Dao.   Although that magical power had the word Huangquan in its name, it actually did not contain much of Huangquan’s power.   In comparison,   the Huangquan magical power displayed by Venerable Jueming now, that aura belonging to Huangquan, was really unsettling.   ”Rumor has it that within the Yellow Springs grows a divine creature called the Red Shore Flower. This being is formed from the condensed souls of countless beings, imbued with the mysterious power of the Yellow Springs.   Any cultivator who comes into contact with it will have their soul and lifespan devoured, ultimately reducing them to dry bones. Everything they possess becomes nourishment for this being!”   Yan Wuxiang took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.   He had only heard of this strange being, never actually witnessed it firsthand.   Seeing Venerable Jueming unleash his Yellow Springs magical powers immediately reminded Yan Wuxiang of this.   At this moment,   in the Nine Heavens,   the Red Shore Flower blossomed.   A blood-red sea of flowers devoured everything.   The two ancient semi-saints were both engulfed by the sea of flowers. Just as they were about to be completely consumed, a terrifying sword energy suddenly erupted, shattering countless blood-colored immortal flowers.   Under the onslaught of this strange and annihilating power and the terrifying sword energy, the vast Nine Heavens seemed to be returning to chaos.   ”Destroy!”   Venerable Jueming’s face was stern. He formed hand seals with his hands, and suddenly, a sea of flowers converged. A world-destroying immortal flower blossomed from the chaotic turbulence.   Furthermore , the power of the Yellow Springs descended from the heavens, transforming into a boundless river that submerged the heavens and earth.   Jiang Linyuan and Venerable Jueqing could only resist with all their might.   However,   even with such great divine powers, their cultivation was still inferior.   When the Yellow Springs’ power crushed the sword energy, the terrifying force pierced through the bodies of the two ancient semi-saints, instantly injuring them.   But   at this moment,   a violent force rose from below. A figure stepped through the void and descended, charging directly towards Venerable Jueming.   ”A half-dead ancient semi-saint dares to be so presumptuous in my presence!”   Venerable Jueming, enraged, struck out with a palm strike. Suddenly, a powerful force erupted. The longevity skeleton, bearing the force, suddenly exploded with its right arm, sending its body flying.   In the end.   A revived Immortal Skeleton ultimately has its limits.   Taking on other cultivators wouldn’t be a problem,   but against a veteran Semi-Saint like Venerable Jueming, the gap becomes apparent.   However,   the Immortal Skeleton’s sole instinct is killing, devoid of any other emotions.   Originally, it was slaughtering other cultivators below, but, drawn to Venerable Jueming’s power, it targeted him.   At this moment,   its right arm shattered.   The Immortal Skeleton’s expression remained unchanged, flesh and blood instantly regenerating, and it charged once more.   A single punch unleashed! With   unstoppable force and power!   Even the simplest of tactics possessed the might of a Semi-Saint.   ”You’re courting death!”   Venerable Jueming raged, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent. Almost the instant the opponent made a move, he struck.   But at this moment,   Jiang Linyuan and Venerable Jueqing also found a moment to breathe. They exchanged glances, each revealing a look of determination.   Immediately.   The two attacked again, attacking Venerable Cassiae.   The three immortals   once again engaged in a fierce battle with this ancient semi-saint.   Boom—   a terrifying wave raged through the Ninth Heaven. Venerable Cassiae’s inner murderous intent materialized, and with every gesture, he unleashed a mystical power worthy of world-destruction, completely unafraid of the three immortals.   Jiang Linyuan and the other two had already been severely wounded, and now facing Venerable Cassiae, they should have had little chance of success.   However,   with the addition of an immortal skeleton, the situation was completely different.   While the immortal skeleton’s strength was modest, the opponent had been a seventh-tribulation semi-saint at his peak, and now, after resurrection, his power rivaled that of a fourth-tribulation semi-saint.   Furthermore, Venerable Cassiae had already consumed a great deal of his energy by employing the Yellow Springs   mystical power. With the addition of a fourth-tribulation semi-saint, the battle suddenly became more complex.   Boom!   Boom!!!   Venerable Cassiae grew more furious as the battle continued.   He had thought the outcome was decided, but the sudden appearance of the Immortal Skeleton completely disrupted his preparations.   Consequently,   his killing intent towards the Immortal Skeleton was even stronger than towards Jiang Linyuan and the others.   After a prolonged battle,   Venerable Cassiae seized the opportunity and smashed the Immortal Skeleton’s chest with a single blow, instantly shattering his internal organs.   Though immortal, the Immortal Skeleton’s aura was significantly weakened by this severe blow.   But at this moment,   a sword energy pierced the air, severing the Immortal Skeleton’s left arm the moment Venerable Cassiae struck, sending a torrent of blood gushing from the wound.   Each drop of blood shattered the very void as it fell. This was   the first time Venerable Cassiae had been injured   in this battle , and   this injury   infuriated the Ancient Semi-Saint to the core.   ”Kill—”   Venerable Jueming roared. Almost at the moment his left arm was severed, flesh and blood began to grow. Then, with a sharp right hand, he shattered Changsheng’s skeleton arms and grabbed its head.   Boom!

With a firm squeeze of his five fingers,

Changsheng’s head exploded.

Without waiting for his flesh to regenerate, Venerable Jueming launched another palm strike, intent on completely shattering his body.

As he struck, Jiang Linyuan and Venerable Jueqing also attacked.

Seeing this,

Venerable Jueming’s eyes darkened. The immortal light and aura of Dao emanated from his robes, shielding him, but he showed no sign of stopping his attacks.

He knew clearly that

to win this battle,

Changsheng’s skeleton had to be destroyed first.

Otherwise, if the other party interfered, victory would be nearly impossible.

Furthermore,

this battle was attracting considerable attention.

If it dragged on, it would inevitably lead to complications.

Therefore,

when the two sword energies broke through the immortal light and aura, piercing Venerable Jueming’s body, the latter had already launched a palm strike, completely crushing Changsheng’s skeleton.

“Bang!”

The semi-saint’s body exploded, and all life was instantly extinguished.

As a price,

Venerable Jueming’s injuries became even more severe.

While this injury diminished his strength, it also unleashed the murderous fury within him.

“The obstacle has been dealt with. Now it’s your turn!”

Venerable Jueming’s eyes shone with a bloodshot glow, and a terrifying Daoist aura erupted. The Yellow Springs phantom pierced the universe, seemingly threatening to subdue both of them.

“The outcome of this battle remains uncertain!”

Jiang Linyuan also burned his blood and essence, his strength seemingly reaching its peak. The brutal sword energy contained the power to shatter all things, causing the Yellow Springs phantom to tremble violently and causing the mighty river to surge.

Elsewhere,

Venerable Jueqing also showed no mercy.

This battle had reached a critical juncture; the slightest carelessness would mean death.

In this situation

, even the slightest reservation could lead to certain demise.

“Merciless Sword Dao!”

The last trace of emotion seemed to vanish from Venerable Jueqing’s eyes. He seemed to embody the ruthless Heavenly Dao. The moment he swung his sword, a resounding divine might overwhelmed everything.

The battle between the three intensified. Venerable Jueming was also burning with his blood and essence, engaging in no fewer than a million blows with every breath.

As time passed, the three suffered increasing injuries.

However,

the scales of victory

still tilted towards Venerable Jueming.

After all, with his background as an ancient semi-saint and his superior cultivation, Jiang Linyuan and the other two ancient semi-saints naturally found him difficult to contend with.

With a single palm strike, Venerable Jueqing’s Dao aura exploded, his immortal body shattering in a shower of blood.

Just as Venerable Jueming was about to pursue and slay Venerable Jueqing once and for all, Jiang Linyuan intervened, but was defeated in a split second.

“The outcome is decided. You will ultimately not be able to defy fate—”

Venerable Jueming’s expression was ferocious, his eyes filled with murderous ruthlessness as he glared at the two. Even as he spoke, he struck again, a powerful force blasting towards them.

A hum—

a sudden, intense sense of danger emerged from the void, causing Venerable Jueming’s expression to change dramatically.

This force arrived with remarkable agility, appearing the moment he struck. Even if he had been aware of it, it would have been too late to defend himself.   At

that moment,

Venerable Jueming instinctively activated his Taoist robes, and the protective   aura reappeared. The next moment, a charred wooden stick, carrying the might of a Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint, struck the protective aura, cracking it. It barely held out for a breath before shattering.   As the protective aura shattered, the stick’s unstoppable force descended upon Venerable Jueming.   ”Boom!!!”   A full-strength blow imbued with the Daoist rhyme of the Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint caused the flesh and blood on Venerable Jueming’s back to explode, exposing his golden immortal bone to the air. His spine, seemingly unable to withstand the terrifying force, shattered and broke inch by inch.   This blow   directly inflicted further damage on Venerable Jueming.   The force of the attack originally directed at Jiang Linyuan and the other man suddenly dissipated.   At the same time,   Jiang Linyuan and Venerable Jueqing invigorated themselves, and despite their own serious injuries, they swung their swords with all their might.   ”Boom—”   The brutal sword energy pierced the air, the deadly threat causing Venerable Jueming to instinctively dodge, but he was unable to completely avoid it.   The sword energy penetrated his flesh! Blood blossomed from Venerable Jueming’s chest, and his heart exploded in that instant. At the same time, another sword slashed through his left shoulder, obliterating half of his body.   A large amount of immortal blood flowed wildly, leaving the ancient Semi-Saint severely injured in an instant.
