Terran Guardian - Chapter 3495

Chapter 3473 Yin Shen

. The void ripped apart.

Shen Changqing stepped into the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.

“Sect Master!”

Mingxi felt as if he had survived a catastrophe, his back drenched in sweat. In

that instant, if Shen Changqing hadn’t intervened, he would have perished instantly.

Even with the Mountain and River Cauldron in hand, it would have been useless.

That kind of power

was beyond the reach of an ordinary Immortal Emperor.

Now,

a riot erupted deep within the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone, its terrifying aura causing Mingxi to feel a surge of fear.

Shen Changqing stood in the void, his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze fixed on the depths of the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.

“The affairs here are beyond the reach of ordinary Immortal Emperors. Master Mingfeng, please depart first. I will handle the rest!”

“Sect Master, be careful!”

Mingxi replied, tactfully departing.

Based on the previous commotion, he knew that a battle like this was beyond his reach.

After Mingxi left, Shen Changqing pierced through space.

The next moment,

he appeared deep within the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.

An eerie, chilling aura permeated the area, accompanied by a thick, foul-smelling pool of black blood. It was clear that the terrifying aura originated from this

location. “I want to see what you are!”

Shen Changqing’s expression was indifferent. Although he feared the existence deep within the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone and would not venture there unless necessary ,

fear did not necessarily equate to fear. His reluctance

to venture there depended on the other party not causing any disturbance.

However, since the Xuantian Dao Sect’s Immortal Emperor had been attacked, it was only natural for him, as the Sect Master, to intervene.

Whether the attacker was a cultivator or a strange being, the consequences were the same.

“Destroy!”

Shen Changqing waved his right hand with a casual gesture. In an instant, the space before him shattered, and a blood-red sword energy pierced the void, slashing directly at the thick, foul-smelling blood.

“Boom!”

The blood surged violently, attempting to resist the power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Qi, but to no avail.

The sword energy struck,

shattering the blood.

The thing nurtured within was exposed to the air.

In that instant,

Shen Changqing’s face changed slightly.

“What is this!”

The thing before him didn’t resemble an ordinary creature, more like a stitched-together creation of many.

Its body was as massive as a mountain, bloated beyond measure. Every inch of its pale, bloodless skin was covered with skulls stitched together. Each head held a different expression, a riot of joy, anger,

sorrow, and

happiness .

The only difference was that, despite the varying expressions, their eyes stared intently at Shen Changqing. Its limbs were immense: hundreds of arms and legs.

Atop its neck was a massive head, devoid of facial features, a vast mouth filled with ferocious fangs.

“Roar!”

the monster roared, its mere movement sending shockwaves through the void. A terrifying, absurd force swept in all directions, and hundreds of arms clawed at Shen Changqing.

Witness this scene.

Shen Changqing’s mind flickered, and the Xuantian Emperor Bell was summoned. An ancient, majestic chime echoed, and wherever the bell passed, the void crumbled and shattered.   The

monster’s body suddenly froze, and then its arms exploded, spraying jets of jet-black blood. The sudden injury   sent the monster into a frenzy.   Shen Changqing took a step forward, channeling all his immortal energy into the Xuantian Emperor Bell, unleashing the full   power of this supreme imperial artifact. The chimes suppressed everything, leaving the creature no chance to struggle or resist. No matter how furious the monster became, it could not withstand the power of the Xuantian Emperor Bell.   ”Boom!”   Heads exploded from its bloated body, and thick blood flowed down its body like bursting pustules, emitting a foul stench.   In a mere moment, the monster’s body was largely shattered, its limbs completely destroyed.   Its bloated form fell heavily to the ground. Shen Changqing casually flicked his hand, and the Jade Emperor Fire transformed into a flaming lotus that descended upon the monster.   ”Sizzle!”   The ninth-tier immortal fire, upon contact with its body, erupted like a raging fire. The monster roared shrilly, its body twisting wildly, but it was powerless.   Time passed, and the Jade Emperor Fire finally incinerated the monster.   However,   before Shen Changqing could relax, a terrifying and mysterious force erupted at the very moment the monster vanished, instantly wiping out his sea of consciousness.   ”You’re seeking death!”   Shen Changqing’s eyes glared coldly, channeling all his spiritual power into a supreme immortal hammer, which he fiercely smashed down upon the strange force.   ”Ah-ah!”   A shrill sound, like a baby crying, echoed before the strange force receded like a tide, merging back into the thick blood before seeping into the earth, disappearing without a trace.   Upon witnessing this, Shen Changqing immediately mobilized the power of the Jade Emperor Fire. The terrifying celestial flames surged, instantly engulfing the entire Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.   Many strange creatures, like winter snow in the spring sun, melted away before this ninth-tier celestial fire.   Only that strange force, despite the Jade Emperor Fire’s fiercest attack, showed no sign of dissipating.   After a long moment,   Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, and the Jade Emperor Fire fell into his palm. He gazed down at the earth below. The strange force still persisted, seeping deep into the ground, seemingly merging with the entire Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.   ”I can’t extinguish it!”   Shen Changqing’s face darkened.   This strange being wasn’t particularly powerful, at most a pseudo-saint, posing no significant threat to him.   However, its incredibly tenacious vitality made it impossible to truly annihilate it.   Even the Jade Emperor Fire posed no threat to it.   After a long moment,   Shen Changqing turned and left.   Since we can’t destroy this thing, let’s wait until we find out where it came from.

With Shen Changqing’s departure, the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone returned to peace.

However

,

news of the battle in Yellow Springs quickly spread throughout the Divine Heaven Realm, even reaching other Immortal Realms.

There was no way around it.

The terrifying sight of that monster appearing was truly unforgettable.

No one could have imagined that a life-forbidden zone, rated merely as an Ancient Immortal, could harbor such a menacing presence.

The eerie aura terrified many Immortal Emperors.

Consequently,

the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone naturally caught the attention of numerous cultivators.

However,

these events had nothing to do with Shen Changqing.

Upon his return to the Xuantian Dao Sect, he immediately convened a meeting of the highest-ranking members of the various sects.

Inside the Immortal Palace,

everyone’s expressions varied.

Shen Changqing’s expression was indifferent. “Two things are happening this time. The first is that Mingxi, the master of Shu Peak, has broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, giving our Xuantian Dao Sect another Immortal Emperor.

This joyous event is of course to be celebrated with great joy.

The remaining eight peaks should also follow Shu Peak’s example and strive to produce an Immortal Emperor as soon as possible, thereby enhancing the sect’s prestige!”

“As for the second… it’s about the Huangquan Forbidden Zone!”

“I haven’t truly eliminated that strange existence yet. From today onwards, all cultivators in the sect are forbidden to enter the Huangquan Forbidden Zone without permission. If you rashly go deep, whether you can come out alive depends on your fate!”

Upon hearing this,

everyone’s expressions were solemn.

Yang Daoxu asked in a deep voice, “Does Sect Master know the origin of the things in the Huangquan Forbidden Zone?”

“I don’t know—”

Shen Changqing shook his head, then continued.

“But that thing is particularly strange, and ordinary methods are ineffective against it. Its true form resembles a spirit, but it’s different.

Just now, I destroyed its physical body, and at the last moment, it tried to possess me, but failed.

If it were an ordinary Immortal Emperor, I’m afraid it would have succeeded!”

As soon as these words were spoken,

everyone’s expressions changed again. If

even an Immortal Emperor couldn’t resist the other party’s possession, that was quite terrifying.

With this,

the danger level in the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone would skyrocket.

“Even the Sect Master couldn’t destroy it, so it seems the thing in the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone is truly extraordinary!”

An elder took a deep breath, a hint of horror visible in his eyes.

Shen Changqing said, “But don’t worry. That thing won’t leave the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone for the time being. As long as you don’t go too deep into the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone, I think there will be no problem.”

“Remember!”

“Don’t enter the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone. Otherwise, if it takes over, even I may not be able to save you. Your fate

will be the same,”

Shen Changqing warned.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly.

Entering the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone?

You’re kidding!

Who would dare go to such a place?

Even an Immortal Emperor could possess a body like this. If they entered, it would be no different from simply offering themselves up for dead.

Just as Shen Changqing had said, if they were possessed, there would be only one outcome: death!

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, then let’s disperse!”

Shen Changqing said, and then disappeared.

As Shen Changqing left, the others followed suit.

…

In front of the Immortal Mansion.

Shen Changqing sat upright on a stone bench, and in front of him sat another person.

This person was Ji Yang.

“I asked you to come here today, and you should know why.”

“Master, are you seeking to understand the identity of the mysterious being in the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone?”

“Yes!”

Shen Changqing nodded, his expression serious.

“Such a strange being must have a complex origin, but I wonder if you understand it?”

He asked Ji Yang because he had been a Dao Zun-level expert in his previous life and should be able to understand the identity of such a strange being.

Of course.

Ji Yang had gone through countless reincarnations, and it was destined that he would not be able to retain all the memories of the former Taoist master. It

was hard to say whether this person really knew.

Hearing this

, Ji Yang lowered his head and thought, as if he was recalling something.

Shen Changqing saw this and did not disturb him.

Half an hour later,

Ji Yang looked up at Shen Changqing and said seriously: “This kind of strange existence, I have indeed heard of it. If I am not mistaken, this kind of existence is the legendary Yin God!”

“Yin God?”

Shen Changqing’s face moved slightly.

Ji Yang said: “Yin God is a product of Huangquan. It is said that the residual souls of countless creatures fell into Huangquan after their death, and then merged with the power of Huangquan to form a strange creature.

This kind of existence is neither human nor demon nor devil nor immortal. It is a great danger in Huangquan!”
