Terran Guardian - Chapter 3459

Chapter 3438 It’s You

“The Celestial Demon Saint!”

“Shen Changqing of the Xuantian Dao Sect—”

Jiang Linyuan’s face changed when Li Wentian relayed the news.

He had never imagined that

the Celestial Demon Saint would be connected to the so-called Xuantian Dao Sect.

Jiang Linyuan had only heard vaguely of the latter, not that he was particularly familiar with them.

After all,   how much could

an Immortal Emperor sect be worthy of his attention?   He knew of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s existence because it was currently the leading force in the Intermediate Immortal Realm.   But with Li Wentian at the helm, Jiang Linyuan saw no threat from the Xuantian Dao Sect. After all,   Li   Wentian was an ancient Immortal Emperor,   his strength having already reached the limit of the Immortal Emperor realm.   Although he had not yet reached the Semi-Saint realm, he had already been inscribed on the Immortal Emperor Monument long before ancient times.   With countless years of experience, his strength was undoubtedly extraordinary.   It could be said that   Li Wentian’s strength was among the highest among the many Divine Envoys.   The so-called Divine Envoy   was a position within the Supreme Divine Cult.   From the highest level,   the first position naturally belonged to the Sect Leader.   Only one person was qualified to assume the position of leader of the Supreme Divine Cult: Tailuo Daojun.   Then   came the two deputy saints:   Jiang Linyuan himself and Soul-Slaying Blade Master.   Below the deputy saints   were the divine envoys of various factions.   These divine envoys ranged from fallen immortals to some of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm’s most powerful immortal emperors. Without exception, these cultivators obeyed Tailuo Daojun’s orders and willingly served him.   The reason for this was self-evident.   After all, the benefits of joining the Supreme Divine Cult were numerous, enough to tempt many cultivators.   Below the divine envoys   were the lower and middle ranks within the cult.   Li Wentian’s placement in the mid-level immortal realm was entirely out of respect for the Xuantian Dao Sect.   However, events unfolded beyond everyone’s expectations.   Numerous immortal emperors perished.   If the perpetrator was indeed the Heavenly Demon Saint Lord Shen Hong, then Jiang Linyuan saw nothing surprising in this.   After all,   others lacked such power, but the Heavenly Demon Saint Lord was different.   ”I’ve heard that this Heavenly Demon Saint once single-handedly took on two ancient Semi-Saints in the Eastern Abyss Region, even inflicting considerable loss at his hands.   I wonder if these rumors are true or not?”   Soul-Slaying Blade Master chuckled, the humiliation etched in his words causing Jiang Linyuan’s face to darken.   ”Shen Hong’s talent is unparalleled. Upon breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, he was already capable of slaying a top Immortal Emperor. His strength is undoubtedly extraordinary.   Although he’s now an Immortal Emperor, his power is already comparable to that of a Semi-Saint.   However, I was already injured during that battle, allowing this brat to take advantage. This time, with the Sect Leader’s reward, my injuries have healed considerably, and I’ll definitely have no problem dealing with him!”   Jiang Linyuan’s voice was icy. Though he was furious, he didn’t actually lash out.   There was   only one reason:   he couldn’t defeat him.   Even if Jiang Linyuan didn’t want to admit it, it was a fact.   Then…   Jiang Linyuan looked at the leading Taoist Tailuo and said, “Master, I am willing to go and suppress the Xuantian Dao Sect and slay Shen Changqing!”   Taoist Tailuo glanced at him and nodded slightly.   ”Approved!”   …   Divine Heaven Realm.   Xuantian   Dao Sect.   The Sect Master Ceremony took place as scheduled.   Cultivators from all quarters came to offer their congratulations.   On this day,   Shen Changqing wore a purple Taoist robe and a sash crown. His face, as gentle as jade, was easygoing, and even the passage of time had barely left a trace on him.   The previously noisy scene suddenly quieted down when Shen Changqing appeared.   Then,   Yang Daoxu appeared as the previous Sect Master. He announced the matter to heaven and earth, and then personally handed the token representing the Sect Master’s status to Shen Changqing.   With this,   the ceremony was complete.   All the cultivators bowed in greeting.   ”Greetings, Sect Master Shen!”   A resounding voice shook the heavens, and a smile spread across Shen Changqing’s face.   ”You’re so polite!”   ”Today, I assume the position of Sect Master. The previous Sect Master, Yang Daoxu, will be appointed Grand Elder. Furthermore, the position of Danfeng Peak Master remains vacant, and will be filled by my personal disciple, Ji Yang!”   Finally, Shen Changqing made another announcement.   Upon hearing this, Ji Yang bowed and accepted the order.   ”Disciple, I obey!”   At this moment,   the other cultivators all looked at Ji Yang, their faces filled with shock, but they quickly relaxed.   There are many powerful individuals on Danfeng these days, but only three are truly qualified to hold the position of Peak Master.   Ye Yun!   Gu Qingyang!   Ji Yang!   These three are the top three geniuses among all the disciples of Danfeng.   Only these three are qualified to hold the position of Danfeng Peak Master.   Anyone else would be inferior in terms of foundation and strength.   However,   among the three,   Ji Yang is the strongest.   Furthermore, the other party possessed an innate Fire Spirit Immortal Body, a sacred body for alchemy. With such advantages, it was only natural for him to become the second Alchemy Peak Master.   Even Ye Yun and Gu Qingyang were not surprised by this.   Clearly,   they had already known about this.

The Sect Master Ceremony soon concluded.

Just as the cultivators from all sides were about to depart, a terrifying aura suddenly descended, causing their expressions to change drastically.

Above the sky,

the wind and clouds changed color.

The nine layers of heaven seemed to crumble and shatter.

Under the pressure of this aura, the vast Divine Realm seemed to be plunging into a state of doom.

“This aura!”

Yang Daoxu’s smile vanished, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

He felt an unprecedented sense of threat before this aura.

Before it, he felt not an Immortal Emperor, but a mere mortal ant, devoid of any cultivation.

It wasn’t just Yang Daoxu who felt this way.

Qingmu and Qingxu’s expressions also changed drastically.

The Supreme Divine Cult!

At that moment, a name popped into their minds.

Unsurprisingly,

the powerful individual who had arrived was definitely connected to the Supreme Divine Cult.

After all, the Xuantian Dao Sect had just slain over a dozen Immortal Emperors of the Supreme Divine Cult in the Thousand Demon Territory. It was impossible for them to remain unresponsive.

The arrival of a powerful being was perfectly normal.

Judging from the aura, Yang Daoxu and the others understood that the newcomer was at least a semi-saint, aspiring to achieve immortality.

Over a dozen Immortal Emperors were already dead.

If the Supreme Divine Cult sent any other cultivators, they would only be wasting their lives.

Only if the Immortal Cult took personal action could they possibly suppress the Xuantian Dao Sect.

With this thought in mind,

Yang Daoxu and Qingmu exchanged a glance, each seeing worry in their eyes.

The Immortal Cult’s presence!

This was no small matter.

They then turned to Shen Changqing, their faces filled with worry.

“Sect Master—”

“No problem, I’ll handle this matter.”

Shen Changqing waved his hand, then looked at Ye Yun.

“Disciple, may I borrow that thing of yours?”

“…Yes!”

Ye Yun was stunned for a moment, then realized what Shen Changqing was talking about and immediately offered the dead branch.

Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, and the withered branch fell into his grasp.

Then, with a single step, he shattered the void, his figure vanishing in an instant.

Within the Xuantian Dao Sect, many cultivators turned their gazes toward Primal Chaos, their hearts aching with anxiety.

The arrival of a Semi-Saint from the Supreme Divine Cult was no small matter.

Furthermore, given the Supreme Divine Cult’s ruthless tactics of extermination, if Shen Changqing were defeated, the entire Divine Heaven Realm would be reduced to a

Shura-like ghostly realm. In that situation, none of them would be able to escape.

At a time like this,

these cultivators naturally hoped Shen Changqing would win.

Even if he couldn’t, at least the Divine Heaven Realm would be preserved.

…

Chao Void.

Jiang Linyuan suddenly stopped, and the void before him ripped apart, revealing a purple-clad figure.

“It’s you!”

Jiang Linyuan gazed at the figure before him, his voice filled with chilling coldness, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

Although Shen Changqing’s current demeanor was completely different from that of Shen Hong back then,

But with his uncanny sixth sense and the identical aura emanating from the other man, Jiang Linyuan was absolutely certain that the other man was none other than the Celestial Demon Lord Shen Hong.

“Should I call you Shen Hong or Shen Changqing now?”

“I am Shen Changqing, the Sect Master of the Xuantian Dao Sect!”

Shen Changqing smiled calmly, his expression barely changing as he looked at Jiang Linyuan.

“It’s been a while since we last met, and you still look as charismatic as ever. But upon hearing that the Cangfeng Sword Sect has been annihilated, I must admit that you are truly a hero!”

“You needn’t provoke me with words. I gave you an advantage in the battle in the Dongyuan Territory, but this time, you won’t have another chance.

In this battle, not only will you die, but so will everyone connected with you!”

Jiang Linyuan’s expression remained impassive.

He had only one purpose in mind: to slay Shen Changqing and put an end to his future troubles.

“Last time, you had the aid of a Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint’s most precious treasure. This time, do you have any other trump cards?”

Jiang Linyuan took a step forward, and the aura of a Five Tribulations Semi-Saint erupted. A vast, abyssal pressure swept across the chaotic void, and billions of miles of space collapsed and annihilated in an instant.

Many immortal realm cultivators sensed this terrifying aura, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, their hearts filled with fear and anxiety.

Under this aura, Shen Changqing’s shoulders sank slightly, and the void beneath his feet exploded, as if unable to withstand such terrifying pressure.

However,

his expression remained unchanged throughout, and he spoke calmly.

“During the battle in the East Abyss Region, Sect Master Jiang was not at his peak. Judging from his condition today, it seems that his strength has recovered significantly.

If so, I will witness the true methods of an ancient Semi-Saint!”

“As you wish!”

Jiang Linyuan finished speaking, and immediately attacked. With a raised hand, he launched a palm strike, and the shadow of a long river of the Great Dao pierced the void. The power of a Five Tribulations Semi-Saint was instantly unleashed.

In an instant,

Shen Changqing took a step forward.

True Dragon Technique!

Star Evil Body!

The power of the nine-sided universe gathered together, and then he launched a palm strike with all his strength.

“Boom——” (End of this chapter)
