Terran Guardian - Chapter 3440

Chapter 3420: The junior Jiang Linyuan is willing to serve the Taoist Lord!

“At this point, we have no choice but to leave the Ancient State!”

Jiang Linyuan spoke slowly after a long pause.

The Hidden Sword Sect has existed here since ancient times, but now they have to abandon their foundation. This is a disgrace to the people

. But there’s no other way.

The Ancient Supreme is now formidable.

Even if the Hidden Sword Sect expends all its might, it will never be a match for him. If

they don’t leave,

they’ll inevitably end up like the Jueqing Immortal Sect!

This situation

is not what Jiang Linyuan wants.

Upon hearing this, the other sect elders breathed a sigh of relief.

Retreat!

While it might be embarrassing, at least their lives could be saved.

If Jiang Linyuan truly insisted on staying with the sect, gambling on that one-percent probability, that would be truly troublesome.

After all, the Sect Master’s decision cannot be changed by anyone.

Fortunately,

Jiang Linyuan didn’t have such thoughts.

However—

at this moment.

A heart-pounding aura suddenly spread, and all the cultivators’ faces paled, their eyes filled with terror.

“Not good!”

Jiang Linyuan’s expression changed, and he instantly vanished from the Immortal Palace.

When he reappeared, he was outside the sect.

In the void beyond, a terrifying blood-red hue obscured the sky. Just a glance at it sent an uncontrollable wave of fear surging within.

“Ta…Ta Luo Daojun!”

Jiang Linyuan’s voice was hoarse and hard, a look of despair on his face.

He hadn’t expected

the other party to arrive so quickly.

The blood-red spread, and the Supreme Dao rhyme suppressed the Immortal Realm. Such terrifying power was simply beyond the reach of a semi-saint.

Jiang Linyuan knew clearly

that at this point, escape was impossible.

At this moment ,

the other leaders of the Hidden Sword Sect also appeared.

Everyone’s faces paled as they watched the scene.

“Sect Master, what…what should we do?”

Jiang Linyuan remained silent, his mind racing with thoughts, searching for a way out of this predicament.

Although his chances of escape appeared slim, he refused to give up.

However,

before Jiang Linyuan could find a glimmer of hope, he saw the void before him tremble. A purple-robed figure slowly appeared from nowhere. Even without making a single movement, the aura, reminiscent of divine might, suppressed everything. The

moment he saw the newcomer, Jiang Linyuan’s mind went blank.

“Tailao Daojun!”

He forgot to breathe.

His blood!

His very soul!

It all trembled unconsciously.

In that instant,

Jiang Linyuan felt the urge to turn and run.

But he didn’t.

He knew that if he didn’t run, he might have a glimmer of hope. If he made any move, death would surely await him.

As for the other Immortal Emperors of the Hidden Sword Sect, their faces paled, their bodies trembling slightly. It wasn’t that they were trying to escape, but rather that the oppressive aura made them unable to move even a little. It

was as if an invisible force was holding them captive.   Their entire cultivation vanished into thin air

.   ”I remember you!”   Daojun Tailuo’s crimson eyes fell upon Jiang Linyuan. His calm words resonated like thunder in his ears, stirring a thousand-foot wave in his sea of consciousness.   In that moment,   every thought raced through Jiang Linyuan’s mind.   Without waiting for Daojun Tailuo to make another move, he bowed his head.   ”Junior Jiang Linyuan, I am willing to serve you!”   Silence fell   upon him. Daojun Tailuo remained silent.   Jiang Linyuan continued to bow, a cold sweat already breaking out.   He was simply taking a gamble, trying to see if this method could save his life.   After all, the ancient immortal in the Destiny Forbidden Zone had survived by submitting to him.   Time slipped by,   and the air grew stagnant.   Just as Jiang Linyuan’s mind began to sink, Daojun Tailuo spoke slowly.   ”I offer you a chance. Kill the others, and you may serve me!”   At these words,   the expressions of all the cultivators of the Hidden Sword Sect changed.   Before they could even begin to speak, Jiang Linyuan launched a direct attack, unleashing a powerful palm strike. The sect elders had no chance to resist, their bodies exploding and instantly falling to the ground.   Then,   Jiang Linyuan took another step forward, gathering vast immortal energy into a celestial sword, which he fiercely slashed down upon the Cangfeng Sword Sect below.   ”No—”   Despair filled the faces of all the cultivators in the sect as they witnessed this scene.   What a pity!   Before an ancient semi-saint, those who had not yet attained immortality were nothing more than ants.   This single strike devoured the entire Cangfeng Sword Sect, instantly annihilating millions of cultivators within the sect.   ”Boom!”   The earth shattered.   The sect collapsed.   Having accomplished these actions, Jiang Linyuan bowed to Daojun Tailuo.   ”Daojun!”   ”I only asked you to kill other cultivators, not to destroy the entire sect?”   As Tailuo Daojun spoke, Jiang Linyuan’s heart trembled.   But at this moment, Tailuo Daojun changed the subject and, with a flick of his finger, a blood-colored restriction fell on Jiang Linyuan.

“However, I quite like your ruthlessness. Since that’s the case, I’ll offer you a chance to serve me!”

“Thank you, Daojun!”

Jiang Linyuan rejoiced.

Daojun Tailuo said calmly, “Go, slaughter all living beings in the entire ancient state and gather their life essence.”

“As you command—”

Upon receiving the order, Jiang Linyuan dared not slack off. His body instantly transformed into a stream of light and vanished into the void.

Gazing in the direction of their departure, Daojun Tailuo flicked his sleeve and saw the remaining life essence of all the fallen cultivators of the Hidden Sword Sect below converge towards him.   However

, after refining this life essence, Daojun Tailuo showed no change.   Daojun Tailuo didn’t care.   The strongest of the fallen cultivators of an ancient immortal sect was only at the Immortal Emperor level. How much life essence could they provide him?   At his level, he wouldn’t be able to contribute much to a sect, let alone the creatures of the entire immortal realm.   However—   strength restored.   It’s all about accumulation. If   one immortal realm isn’t enough, then ten, or even a hundred.   As long as he devours and refines enough Life Essence, Daojun Tailuo is confident he can regain the realm of supremacy.   Though he was merely conceived from the corpse of an Ancient Supreme, he inherited much of that ancient supreme being’s heritage.   All he lacks now is sufficient Life Essence.   Meanwhile,   Jiang Linyuan launched his attack, slaughtering without restraint.   To survive,   he had even annihilated the Hidden Sword Sect, so naturally, he showed no mercy to the other cultivators in the Ancient State.   With Jiang Linyuan’s actions, the entire Ancient State was reduced to a desolate place. The wails and curses of countless dying cultivators failed to shake his resolve.   An unknown amount of time passed, until every living being was utterly annihilated.   Jiang Linyuan then handed all the Life Essence he had collected into Daojun Tailuo’s hands.   Looking at the blood-red bead before him, imbued with an extremely rich essence of life, Daojun Tailuo swallowed it, refining it completely in an instant.   ”So little!”   He frowned slightly, seeming slightly displeased.   Jiang Linyuan hurriedly said, “Daojun, calm down. It’s just that the Ancient State was massacred and sacrificed by the Fallen Immortals hundreds of thousands of years ago, and all life was nearly wiped out.   Although the Ancient State has regained some vitality over the past few hundred thousand years, it’s still far from what it once was.”   These words   softened Daojun Tailuo’s expression.   If that were the case, it made sense.   At that moment,   space ripped apart,   and a figure appeared.   ”Daojun, this is the Essence of Life!”   ”You did well!”   Daojun Tailuo finally smiled with satisfaction after swallowing the Essence of Life. The   life essence offered by the other party was equivalent to several times the amount of life essence in the Ancient State.   Elsewhere,   Jiang Linyuan’s gaze fell on the newcomer.   The Soul-Slaying Sword Master!   Although he had never met the other person, he was well aware of his origins.   Initially, Jiang Linyuan had been curious about his disappearance, but now, it seemed, he had traveled to another immortal realm to harvest the essence of life.   As Jiang Linyuan studied Soul-Slaying Blade Master, the latter did the same.   Their eyes met,   and the atmosphere seemed tense.   ”Five Tribulations Half-Saint!”   Soul-Slaying Blade Master’s lips curled in a sneer.   If he remembered correctly, this person was the leader of the Hidden Edge Sword Sect.   And the Ancient State Domain   was where the Hidden Edge Sword Sect was located.   Now that all life in the Ancient State Domain had been annihilated, yet this person was still alive, it didn’t take much thought to understand what had happened.   Soul-Slaying Blade Master naturally held such cultivators in low regard.   However,   in the presence of Daojun Tailuo,   he dared not mock him, lest he anger him.   Jiang Linyuan could discern the hidden meaning in Soul-Slaying Blade Master’s smile, but his heart remained calm, showing no trace of anger.   In fact,   in Jiang Linyuan’s view, neither of them was worth discussing.   He sacrificed the Hidden Sword Sect to save his life, and the Soul-Slaying Blade Master was willing to submit to the Tai Luo Daojun, also for the sake of saving his life.   It was just that the price they paid was slightly different.   But the process was not important, anyway, in Jiang Linyuan’s view, the result was no different.   At this time.   Tai Luo Daojun slowly said: “Next, you two need to speed up the collection of the essence of life and not slack off!”   ”Yes!”   Both of them looked solemn and responded respectfully.   Then.   Tai Luo Daojun pointed his finger, and a mysterious Taoist rhyme sank into the sea of consciousness of the two.   ”As long as you serve me, I will not be stingy with what you are waiting for. Now that the catastrophe is approaching, there is not much time left for you to wait!”   He was hinting, and when he spoke, he looked towards the nine-layer sky, as if something was surging there.   At the same time.   The Soul-Slaying Blade Master and Jiang Linyuan felt the changes in their sea of consciousness, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces.   ”Thank you, Daojun!”
