Terran Guardian - Chapter 3410

Chapter 3390 The Strength of the Ancient Semi-Saint

, everything happened in an instant. This sudden turn of events   startled even Venerable Jueqing.   Immediately,   a cold glint flashed in the eyes of this immortal from the Jueqing Immortal Sect, and murderous intent filled his heart.   Venerable Jueming had fallen!   Jiang Linyuan was severely injured!   If he could seize this opportunity to slay Jiang Linyuan and the Heavenly Demon Saint before him, then the Jueqing Immortal Sect would be unstoppable.   With this thought in mind,   Venerable Jueqing struck again.   As an ancient Semi-Saint, even though he was severely injured and his strength was less than one-tenth of his peak, his true power was beyond the reach of any ordinary immortal.   A   terrifying sword energy poured down like a torrential rainstorm, targeting not only Shen Changqing but also Jiang Linyuan.   This scene   filled Jiang Linyuan’s face with shock and anger.   This ancient semi-saint activated his secret technique, his flesh and blood igniting, his body instantly plunging into the vast void, vanishing in a flash.   Elsewhere,   Shen Changqing summoned the Eight Trigrams Purple Sun Furnace. This seventh-grade innate imperial weapon, its main weapon, was impenetrable. Even in the face of such terrifying sword energy, it remained unbroken.   ”I’ve heard that the Jueqing Immortal Sect is renowned for its ruthless swordsmanship. Today, I wish to experience it and see if the so-called Jueqing swordsmanship is truly as powerful as the rumors say.”   Shen Changqing roared, and the immense Qi and blood power of his body erupted with a roar. The cosmic image of the Nine-Directions Immortal Emperor descended from the nine heavens, and infinite Dao rhyme poured into the Eight Trigrams Purple Sun Furnace. The   Dao   rhyme of this ancient furnace hummed, carrying a force of millions of kilograms, crushing the Jueqing Venerable head-on.   This unparalleled and domineering attack contained no gimmicks or divine powers, but simply pure, unleashed power.   ”Fight!”   Venerable Jueqing’s face was grim. His immortal sword trembled, and the razor-sharp sword energy severed the vast river of the Great Dao. It seemed to contain the power to sever the immortal realm as it fiercely slammed into the Eight Trigrams Purple Yang Furnace.   The moment the two forces collided, a devastating wave erupted.   Boom—   a rolling wave of energy swept across the vast wasteland.   Billions of miles of the void were annihilated and shattered.   The Eight Trigrams Purple Yang Furnace hummed and then flew backward. Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, and the furnace vanished. Immediately, a vast expanse of immortal fire erupted from the void like a blanket of heaven and earth.   ”Cry!”   A soul-shaking sound echoed throughout the immortal realm. A phantom of the Vermillion Bird, so massive it seemed to obscure the sky and the sun, appeared. The scorching heat seemed to heat the vast void as if it were a furnace.   ”Vermillion Bird Magic!”   ”Southern Bright Fire!”   Venerable Jueqing’s face was solemn. Even this incredibly intense immortal fire felt a sense of threat.   In an instant,   He had already struck.   Sword energy crisscrossed the void, tearing the vast expanse of sky like a spiderweb. Terrifying power gushed into the immortal flames, unleashing a vast, abyssal ripple.   Facing the attacks of the Unfeeling Venerable, Shen Changqing remained unmoved, exerting his full strength to the utmost.   Vermillion Bird Technique!   Divine Phoenix Technique!   True Dragon Technique!   Kirin Technique!   …   He unleashed a multitude of supreme Dao abilities. For a moment, an infinite Dao rhythm surged through the Nine Heavens, and the imposing figures of immensely powerful, innate beasts materialized.   Each burst of power filled the hearts of many powerful beings.   ”Such supreme Dao abilities, this child’s foundation is so formidable—”   Many top-tier Immortal Emperors, observing the battle in the void, were filled with awe.   Even the slightest ripple of such divine power emanated from them, leaving them feeling as if they were suffocating.   Even within the Immortal Emperor realm, the gap between them was astonishingly vast.   Back then,   in the battle in the Heavenly Star Region.   Although Shen Changqing had defeated the Nine Mountain Immortal Emperor, his power shaking the entire Immortal Realm, he had never been as terrifying as he was now.   After tens of thousands of years,   the speed of this Heavenly Demon Saint’s breakthrough was simply astonishing.   Let alone the Immortal Emperor,   even some of the ancient immortals were secretly shocked when they witnessed this scene.   To rival a Semi-Saint with the strength of an Immortal Emperor   —since ancient times,   only a handful of powerful individuals have truly achieved this.   However,   the person who was most shocked was Venerable Jueqing.   As the ancient Semi-Saint who had clashed with Shen Changqing, the latter had assumed that even with a serious injury, he would have no problem defeating the opponent.   As for Jiang Linyuan’s previous serious injury, it was mainly due to the presence of the top-tier Semi-Saint’s treasure, which caught him off guard and led to his defeat.   Now,   with the treasure destroyed,   Venerable Jueqing doubted that the opponent could be his opponent.   But when they actually fought, he realized that he had underestimated him all along.   This Heavenly Demon Saint Lord not only has a terrifying background, but his physical body has been cultivated to an astonishing level. In addition, he also possesses many top-notch magical powers.   Facing Shen Changqing who is fighting with all his strength, even Venerable Jueqing can hardly gain much advantage now.   More importantly,   as time goes by,   the injuries on Venerable Jueqing’s body have become difficult to suppress. The power of the six-tribulation half-saint’s self-explosion has invaded his body, and the destructive rhyme of the Tao has continuously eroded his vitality.   At the beginning,   Venerable Jueqing could still suppress such injuries.   But gradually,   the pressure from Shen Changqing became greater and greater, and such injuries gradually became uncontrollable.   Until a certain critical point, the Tao injury broke out, Venerable Jueqing’s blood and qi were disordered, and his control over the Tao was flawed.   ”Puff–“

At this moment of uncertainty, Shen Changqing seized the opportunity. He combined his fingers and unleashed a blast of blood-red annihilation sword energy, instantly piercing Venerable Jueqing’s chest.

This single sword wound

was like the straw that broke the camel’s back.

In an instant,

Venerable Jueqing’s body shattered, all his wounds unleashed in that moment.

“Damn it!”

His expression was grim, and as he glared at Shen Changqing, there was murderous intent, but more of it was resentment.

Seeing the latter’s attack approaching again, Venerable Jueqing finally chose to retreat.

Boom—

the Immortal-Slaying Sword Qi descended, the void suddenly exploding, but Venerable Jueqing’s figure vanished like a puff of smoke.

“You’re running fast!”

Shen Changqing watched the retreating Venerable Jueqing with a cold look in his eyes, but he made no move to stop him.

An ancient semi-saint was about to leave, and with his strength, it was impossible to stop him.

Unless…

he could use the backup plan left by Jiuye.

But…

Using such a trump card to kill a single Venerable Jueqing was clearly unprofitable.

Therefore, Shen Changqing allowed Venerable Jueqing to depart without striking him dead.

This battle

had completely ruptured the relationship between the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land and the two major immortal sects, forcing significant trouble.

Having a backup plan

offered a margin of maneuver.

Then,

Shen Changqing looked down at the battlefield below.

At the moment of Venerable Jueming’s self-detonation, the destructive force unleashed by the Six Tribulations Semi-Saint not only shattered the Nine Heavens but also rippled through the battlefield below.

The cultivators of the three major immortal sects, including the Yunlei Immortal Sect, and the Mingguang Holy Land, were annihilated by this force.

Regardless of whether you were a top Immortal Emperor or a sect leader, you were rendered powerless before such absolute power.

In this battle,

the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land emerged as the biggest winner. After all, Venerable Jueming’s death had destroyed the Mingguang Holy Land, and of the three immortal sects, the Yunlei Immortal Sect was also annihilated. The   remaining

two sects each suffered heavy losses.   The Heavenly Demon Holy Land suffered relatively little loss.   If anything, the Heavenly Demon Holy Land was the clear winner.   Then,   Shen Changqing took a step forward, his figure vanishing into the void.   ”   Holy Lord!”   Somewhere in the Eastern Abyss, Yan Wuxiang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Shen Changqing arrive, his gaze filled with admiration.   Single-handedly battling two ancient Semi-Saints and ultimately repelling them, Yan Wuxiang   was astonished by   such strength. He had   always   believed he had a clear understanding of Shen Changqing’s strength,   but every time he attacked, he challenged his perception.   When the Fallen Immortals attacked and Shen Changqing suppressed Beichen Abyss, Yan Wuxiang had assumed that was his true strength.   But now, seeing   that, the Holy Lord hadn’t yet used his true power.   Only now,   facing the two ancient Semi-Saints,   had he truly demonstrated his formidable potential.   Shen Changqing glanced at Yan Wuxiang, nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the other innate demon gods.   This time,   to deal with the Mingguang Holy Land, he had brought nearly all of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s top fighters.   However, the actual development was somewhat unexpected.   Before the Heavenly Demon Holy Land could even begin to act, the Yunlei Immortal Sect had already employed forbidden tactics, muddying the waters.   The subsequent fall of Venerable Jueming swept away cultivators from all factions.   This   naturally left the Heavenly Demon Holy Land with no opportunity to intervene.   But no matter what,   the process was unimportant; the outcome was what mattered. The   Mingguang Holy Land was annihilated, one of the three immortal immortal sects was annihilated, two severely damaged, and the Heavenly Demon Holy Land emerged victorious.   Although this battle had drawn a sharp line between them and the two immortal immortal sects, it was inevitable, and Shen Changqing had anticipated this.   ”Let’s go, let’s return to the Tianxing Territory first!”   Shen Changqing’s expression was calm. With a wave of his hand, a fairy boat appeared, and he stepped into it.   Seeing this,   Yan Wuxiang and the other innate demon gods followed suit without hesitation.   The next moment,   the fairy boat broke through the air and directly left the Dongyuan Territory.   As Shen Changqing and the others left, many powerful figures who had been observing the battle in secret gradually appeared.   However, no one dared to approach the battlefield.   This was because the lingering Dao rhyme of the fallen immortals surrounded the battlefield. For other Immortal Emperors, this Dao rhyme posed a great threat.   Entering without permission would likely attract the power of this Dao rhyme to suppress them.   At that time,   they might even fall.
