Terran Guardian - Chapter 3432

Chapter 3412: The Three Realms of Saints

“Boom!”

Space shattered. The purple-robed Taoist’s figure was like a ghost, and almost every attack was accompanied by a shower of blood.

Even a so-called Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint would have no chance of fighting back against him.

In the Immortal Mountain,

Shen Changqing gazed at the scene in the void, his heart trembling.

Although he had overestimated the existence deep within the Tailuo Immortal Mine, it now seemed that he had been naive.

“With the strength of such a being, even Senior Jiuye’s sword energy might not be able to withstand it!”

Shen Changqing’s expression was extremely serious.

Thinking back to his original delusion of using the Tailuo Immortal Mine to weaken the opponent’s strength and prepare for a fight with such a being, he now felt that he was a bit naive.

The power of a being of this level was unfathomable.

Moreover,

as more and more of the Semi-Saint’s blood was refined by the purple-robed Taoist, his aura became increasingly powerful. The vast immortal realm seemed to be shrouded in blood, and the terrifying Dao aura suppressed the eternal world.

At this moment,

a blood-red light suddenly broke through the air.

Shen Changqing’s pupils suddenly constricted, a flash of blood reflected in them. He launched an almost instantaneous attack to block the attack.

True Dragon Technique!

Qilin Technique!

…

He unleashed these two magical powers in an instant, superimposing his defenses to the utmost.

However,

these defensive measures proved insignificant before the bloody light. Unable to withstand a single blow, they shattered and vanished.

Immediately afterwards,

this unstoppable force devoured Shen Changqing,

and even the immortal mountain he sat on was instantly reduced to dust.

The

incarnation was annihilated!

Shen Changqing, who was in the Xuantian Dao Sect, was the first to notice.

His body, which had been sipping tea at the Enlightenment Tree, suddenly paused, a look of shock on his face.

“Purple-robed Taoist!”

This was the first time his incarnation had perished since entering the Immortal Emperor realm.

And,

without a fightback, he had done so.

The power released from the opponent’s casual attack was too much for the Immortal Emperor to resist, demonstrating the Purple-robed Taoist’s terrifying power.

However…

While the loss of an avatar was a loss for Shen Changqing, it didn’t cause him excessive heartache.

What truly concerned him was that after his avatar’s fall, he couldn’t continue observing the situation in the Tianxing Region.

Thinking of this,

Shen Changqing couldn’t help but look towards another part of Danfeng.

There,

a celestial palace stood.

Since the last time, Jiuye had been in seclusion, and Shen Changqing didn’t want to disturb him.

However,

some things

didn’t necessarily require verification from Jiuye.

…

“Disciple Ji Yang, greetings, Master!”

Ji Yang floated up beneath the Enlightenment Tree and bowed respectfully to Shen Changqing.

Although he was the reincarnation of an ancient powerhouse, countless years had eroded many things, and

for Ji Yang, those ancient memories from countless ages ago were more like a legacy.

This legacy had given him a profound foundation. While he was sometimes influenced by these ancient memories, they were not his primary source.

Simply put,

Ji Yang was the Ji Yang of this life, not the Dao Zun of the past.

Therefore,

even when facing Shen Changqing, Ji Yang’s expression was one of deep respect, without the condescending airs expected of an ancient powerhouse.

Shen Changqing smiled faintly, “Over the years, your cultivation hasn’t slackened at all. It seems it won’t be long before you reach the pinnacle of the Ancient Immortal realm!”

“Thanks to Master’s cultivation, without which I wouldn’t be where I am today,”

Ji Yang said with neither servility nor arrogance, without a trace of arrogance.

He was well aware of the extraordinary nature of his master.

Even though he himself had inherited the legacy of a previous life and possessed a profound foundation, the gap between him and this master in terms of cultivation was immense.

After all, the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm was filled with countless geniuses, and how many could achieve the Immortal Emperor realm in less than a million years?

Furthermore,

Shen Changqing was no ordinary Immortal Emperor.

Not only had his cultivation progress been astonishing, his foundation was unfathomable.

It was precisely for this reason that Ji Yang chose to become his disciple.

“Have you ever heard of the Supreme?”

Shen Changqing asked, changing the subject.

The Supreme!

Ji Yang was startled for a moment, then nodded.

“Master, you should understand that those above the level of Half-Saint are Saints. Saints are actually divided into three realms: Saint, Great Saint, and Supreme!”

“Supreme is the final level of Sainthood. Beings at this level possess the power of the Five Elements, impenetrable to all dharmas. They comprehend the true meaning of yin and yang, reverse life and death, and even command the power of the Heavenly Dao, manipulating the universe!”

Impenetrable to all dharmas!

Reverse life and death!

Manipulating the universe!

Hearing Ji Yang’s words, Shen Changqing was also deeply shocked.

The power of such a being was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

“Then what about Dao Zun?”

Shen Changqing suddenly thought and asked again.

“Dao Zun—”

Ji Yang said calmly.

“Above Supreme is Dao Zun. Beings at this level can be simply summarized in four words: their words are followed by their actions!”

Dao Zun realm!

Their words are followed by their actions!

How could Shen Changqing not know the weight of these four words?

The image of a purple-robed Taoist priest emerged in his mind—an ancient Supreme.

Even if the other party had fallen countless years ago, his corpse, if revived, would still be able to suppress a Semi-Saint. Even a powerful being at the Nine Tribulations level would be nothing in front of such a being.

However,

the more powerful the purple-robed Taoist became,

the more Ji Yang’s background would be highlighted.

After all,

Shen Changqing hadn’t forgotten.

The disciple before him was the reincarnation of a former Dao Master.

His words were followed by his actions!

Although Shen Changqing had never witnessed such tactics, even imagining it was enough to understand the terrifying power of this level.

“I see!”

Shen Changqing suppressed his inner turmoil and nodded outwardly.

Seeing this, Ji Yang’s face flickered with curiosity.

“Why is Master interested in these matters?”

Upon hearing this,

Shen Changqing glanced at him, not intending to conceal anything.

“I’ve received news that the corpse of a Supreme Being has surfaced in the Tianxing Territory, harbouring something strange and causing considerable unrest!”

“The corpse of a Supreme Being!”

Ji Yang’s expression changed slightly at the words.

“If this is true, then this matter cannot be underestimated!”

As a Dao Master-level being in his previous life, how could he not be aware of the terrifying power of a Supreme Being?

Even after their death, the corpse left behind still embodies infinite divine power. Now that it harbors something strange, it is even more formidable.

If it were his former life in its prime, Ji Yang would certainly not be afraid.

But there was a problem.

Ji Yang was well aware.

His current state was in no way comparable to his previous life.

If he truly faced a being of this caliber, even if he expended all his resources, it would be futile.

Shen Changqing, sensing his concern, said calmly, “The Tianxing Realm is separated from the Divine Realm by many immortal realms, so it’s unlikely that the Divine Realm will be affected.

You don’t need to dwell on this matter too much; just focus on your cultivation.”

“Disciple, you’re worrying too much!”

Ji Yang seemed to have a sudden realization, his previously tense heart suddenly relaxing.

He had almost forgotten.

The Xuantian Dao Sect today was more than it appeared.

At least,

the one at Danfeng was incredibly powerful.

Even in his prime, he could hardly match him.

With such a being in charge, let alone a mere eerie Supreme corpse, even a true Supreme in person would likely be unable to stir up any disturbance.

Shen Changqing had a vague idea of what Ji Yang was thinking.

However, he didn’t know Jiuye’s current state.

If the Supreme Being truly arrived in person, the other party might not be able to take action.

Of course.

As Shen Changqing had said before, with Shenfeng Province being so vast, the probability of that person entering the Divine Heaven Realm was extremely small.

To put it another way,

the Supreme Being was indeed formidable.

But the supreme forces in Shenfeng Province had existed for countless years, and Shen Changqing absolutely doubted that they had

no foundation at all. If the purple-robed Taoist posed too great a threat, these forces might even take action at all costs.

However—

regardless of the outcome,

Shen Changqing knew that such a matter was beyond his power to intervene.

After all,

he was only an Immortal Emperor.

Having not even entered the realm of immortality, how could he possibly have the qualifications to intervene?

After Ji Yang left, Shen Changqing’s mind was focused on the sword energy left by Jiuye. Such a profound power, even at his current level of cultivation, was like an ant trying to glimpse the sky.

“Jiu Ye’s ability to see through Ji Yang’s identity proves his power surpasses that of a Dao Zun.

Sage, Great Sage, and Supreme—above the three realms of Sage is Dao Zun. If one surpasses Dao Zun, then his power is beyond comprehension!”

Shen Changqing pondered.

He found

himself reassessing Jiu Ye’s existence.

Even

the power of the backup plan he left behind needed reexamination.

Apart from anything else,

Jiu Ye’s cultivation was at least one level higher than that of a Dao Zun

, and two levels higher than that of a Supreme.

For example,

even a fraction of the power left behind by a Semi-Sage could easily slay an Ancient Immortal, or even cause the bloodshed of an Immortal Emperor.

This is the disparity between realms.

The gap between Semi-Sages and those below Semi-Sages is already so stark.

Then, the gap between those above Dao Zun, Dao Zun, and even those below Dao Zun, would be even more staggering.

It has always been this way.

Shen Changqing had previously assumed that Jiuye was perhaps at a certain level of Saint, and that the sword energy he left behind might only be able to deal with those at that level at best.

But now, after truly hearing Ji Yang’s words, Shen Changqing realized that he had been completely blind to the truth.

The power of this sword energy was absolutely beyond his imagination.

Forget Saints!

Even a Great Saint of the next level, or even a Supreme Being, might be able to suppress it directly.

“If this backup plan were used against an Immortal Semi-Saint, it would be a true waste of resources. Fortunately, this item still exists; it’s like having an extra life-saving trump card!” With this realization   in

mind, Shen Changqing’s initial anxiety over the Purple-Robed Taoist’s appearance completely dissipated.   Even if the power of this backup plan wasn’t as strong as he had imagined, it certainly shouldn’t be underestimated. While   the Purple-Robed Taoist had indeed been a Supreme Being, his long-dead body, now mysteriously revived, must be significantly less powerful than it was at his peak.   In this way,   using the power of sword energy, it should be no problem to deal with this person.
