Terran Guardian - Chapter 3520

Chapter 3498 The Great Evolution Immortal Court is finished

“No one is to leak the news of the four fallen venerables without authorization, otherwise the Celestial Court will punish them severely!”

“Furthermore, immediately investigate the situation in Shenfeng Prefecture. I need to know who exactly caused the deaths of the four venerables—”

After calming down, the Great Yan Celestial Emperor made a series of arrangements.

Although he knew that such a major event as the deaths of the four venerables could not be concealed

, the Celestial Court had to do its best to suppress the news.

In addition,

it was necessary to find out who killed the four venerables and annihilated the elite forces of the Five Prefectures.

From beginning to end,

the Great Yan Celestial Emperor did not believe that this matter was related to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

As the saying goes,

how much power can a mid-level Celestial Domain sect have?

Even if it has a few Celestial Emperors in charge, it is no match for the Great Yan Celestial Court.

Moreover,

this time it was Sword Venerable Shen Lan who personally took action.

With that person’s strength, even if he was defeated, he couldn’t possibly escape.

Even top-tier Celestial Emperors would find it difficult to achieve this.

Only truly powerful beings at the Immortal Emperor level, or even those above, could achieve this.

If the Xuan Tian Dao Sect truly possessed such strength, they would never have remained in the small Divine Heaven Domain; they would have already established themselves in a high-level Immortal Domain, or even a top-tier Immortal Domain. After

all, a force with at least a top-tier Immortal Emperor in charge would be qualified to become a hegemon even in a high-level Immortal Domain.

The resources of a high-level Immortal Domain are far superior to those of a mid-level Immortal Domain.

Any reasonably powerful force would not have the strength to dominate a high-level Immortal Domain and would choose to remain in a mid-level Immortal Domain.

Therefore

, the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor had sufficient reason to believe that the powerful figure who made this move was definitely unrelated to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

However,

despite the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor’s confidence ,

as news gradually arrived, the events in the Divine Heaven Domain eventually reached his hands.

“Impossible… How could the Xuantian Dao Sect possess the strength to slay four Venerables!”

Inside the Immortal Palace, the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor slammed his palm down, instantly denting the ancient divine mine table before him, leaving a clear palm print imprinted on it.

He looked at the celestial official below who was reporting the news, his eyes filled with disbelief and a hint of fear that others could hardly detect.

The celestial official’s voice trembled: “In the battle of the Divine Heaven Domain, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s Sect Master, Shen Changqing, personally took action and slayed four Venerables in an instant.

This news has spread far and wide and is absolutely true!”

Upon hearing this,

the Immortal Palace fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone’s faces were filled with horror; clearly, this news was an immense shock to them.

They had thought the Xuantian Dao Sect was just an ant that could be crushed at will, but it turned out to be an unshakeable fortress.

No—

this was more than just an fortress.

This was practically an ancient divine mine.

The Great Yan Celestial Court’s all-out attack not only failed to defeat its opponent, but also resulted in its own destruction from the backlash.

Upon receiving confirmation,

the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor’s expression shifted between anger and uncertainty, a sense of terror welling up within him.

He was afraid!

This time, he was truly afraid!

If Shen Lan and the others had simply crossed the Celestial Continent and been casually killed by other powerful figures, it wouldn’t have been so bad.

The other side, after killing Shen Lan, would likely not have taken their anger out on the Great Yan Celestial Court.

However—

now that the force that killed Shen Lan and annihilated the elite of the Five Prefectures was the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, it was a completely different story.

The Great Yan Celestial Court had launched the first attack; if the other side sought revenge later, the Celestial Court would absolutely be unable to withstand their wrath.

Thinking of this,

the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor could no longer sit still.

This matter had to be resolved as soon as possible.

Otherwise,

it would be a catastrophic disaster for the Celestial Court.

“Guards—”

The Great Yan Heavenly Emperor had barely uttered a word when a terrifying aura suddenly descended, instilling in everyone a sense of impending doom.

In that instant,

the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor vanished from his Immortal Palace and appeared in the outer void.

There, a figure in a green robe stood with his hands behind his back, a crimson immortal sword beside him, radiating a terrifying, abyssal killing intent.

“Who are you!”

The Great Yan Heavenly Emperor’s pupils constricted sharply, a suspicion forming in his mind, yet he remained uncertain.

Shen Changqing’s expression was indifferent: “I am Shen Changqing, and I have come today to settle our grudges!” Upon

hearing this,

the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor’s heart trembled, and an ugly smile immediately appeared on his face.

“So it’s Sect Master Shen of the Xuantian Dao Sect. There’s been a misunderstanding between our Great Yan Immortal Court and your sect. Now that Sect Master Shen is here, let’s clear things up—”

Even though the person before him was the culprit who killed Shen Lan and annihilated the elite forces of the Five Prefectures, the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor still greeted him with a smile .

There was no other way.

The strength of such a being was far beyond what the Great Yan Immortal Court could handle.

At this moment, bowing one’s head was necessary.

As for face, it was insignificant compared to the foundation of the Immortal Court.

But unfortunately

, Shen Changqing didn’t give the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor any face despite his forbearance. After all, the reason the Emperor bowed was because the Xuantian Dao Sect had displayed sufficient strength.

If the Xuantian Dao Sect had been just an ordinary sect in the previous battle, it would have been completely wiped out by the Great Yan Immortal Court by now.

“The Great Yan Celestial Court has sent four Celestial Emperors to attack the Xuan Tian Dao Sect. Today, I have come with only one sword. Regardless of whether the Great Yan Celestial Court can withstand this sword, all grudges between us will be wiped clean.”

As Shen Changqing spoke, his right hand gripped the hilt of his sword, and an invisible pressure immediately spread through the void.

Seeing that things had come to this point, the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor took a deep breath, his expression solemn.

“Then please enlighten me, Your Excellency!”

He didn’t say anything more, after all, blocking one sword was nothing; the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor still had enough confidence.

Even if the opponent was stronger, they were all Immortal Emperors, and he didn’t believe that he couldn’t withstand the power of a single sword strike on his own Immortal Court’s home turf.

“This sword is called Immortal Slayer!”

Shen Changqing uttered a sentence, and the Immortal Sword of Slaying Karma trembled, with a terrifying, abyss-like sword intent suppressing the void, as if billions of lives were being shed. That overwhelming killing intent made the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor’s expression change instantly.

“The Qi Luck is helping me!”

He dared not underestimate the situation in the slightest, and immediately mobilized the Qi Luck of the entire Great Yan Immortal Court to surround himself, causing his aura to surge dramatically.

If the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor was originally just an ordinary late-stage Immortal Emperor, then now, thanks to the assistance of the Immortal Court’s Qi Luck, his strength had already vaguely stepped into the level of a top-tier Immortal Emperor.

Vast Qi Luck converged, and golden light swept across the sky.

“Come on!”

The Great Yan Heavenly Emperor felt his surging power, his face full of confidence.

“Slash!”

Shen Changqing didn’t waste any words, directly swinging his immortal sword. The crimson blade cleaved through the void, and a blood-red sword light tore through heaven and earth. In an instant   , the Great Dao was annihilated, and the vast Immortal Realm seemed to be completely overturned by this sword.

The arrival of such terrifying power instantly changed the expression of the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor. At that moment,   his blood and qi stagnated, and his soul seemed to tremble slightly. The shadow of death was like an invisible hand gripping his throat, making it difficult for the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor to breathe.   ”Not good—!!!”   His pupils suddenly shrank, and the confidence on his face had vanished.   Seeing the sword light descend, the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor instantly summoned a golden immortal seal.   The next moment,   immortal power poured into it.   The golden immortal seal emitted a deafening dragon roar, and then the immortal seal transformed into a million-foot-tall object that shot out across the sky. Nine true dragon phantoms suddenly appeared, swirling around the immortal seal and bursting out with an astonishing aura.   The Nine Dragon Immortal Seal!   This was the most powerful treasure of the Great Yan Celestial Court, the foundation wielded by successive Heavenly Emperors.   Such a treasure truly belonged to the ranks of top-grade Emperor-level artifacts, and would never be used lightly except in critical moments.   The Great Yan Heavenly Emperor had never revealed the existence of the Nine Dragons Celestial Seal   until now   .   Faced with Shen Changqing’s sword strike, which made this Celestial Emperor feel the threat of death, he couldn’t care less and unleashed all his trump cards to resist.   ”Boom!!!”   The blood-red sword light collided with the Nine Dragons Celestial Seal, and then the true dragons cried out in anguish. The nine illusory true dragons vanished inch by inch, and the remaining force struck the seal, causing it to tremble violently.   Cracks appeared on the once flawless golden seal at a visible speed.   In less than a few breaths ,   the Nine Dragons Celestial Seal shattered.   ”No!!”   The Great Yan Heavenly Emperor cried out in anguish, his eyes wide with rage as he looked at the broken Nine Dragons Celestial Seal.   In his view, this sword strike shattered not only the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal, but also severed the future of the entire Great Yan Immortal Court.   However—   the Immortal Seal shattered.   The power of that sword strike was still not exhausted, and it fell directly towards the Immortal Court.   Seeing this,   the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor could not care about anything else. He could only instantly stain his blood essence and soul, pushing his own power to the limit, and unleashing a palm strike with both hands, vainly trying to block this sword strike.   Unfortunately—   before absolute power, all struggles were futile.   The sword light fell.   In less than a breath, the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor’s body exploded instantly, and the remaining force finally landed in the Immortal Court’s imperial palace.   ”Boom!!!”   The earth shook!   The vast Immortal Court’s imperial palace was instantly reduced to ruins by this sword strike. All the cultivators in the palace did not even have a chance to escape and were completely buried along with the palace.   This scene   silenced the other powerful figures in the Glazed Domain who had secretly witnessed it.   The Great Yan Immortal Court was finished!   This was the only thought in their minds.   Then.   When these powerful figures looked at the figure in green again, fear appeared on their faces.   To kill the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor with a single sword strike, to destroy the Immortal Court’s palace, and to bury almost all of the Great Yan Immortal Court’s high-ranking officials—   such power was utterly terrifying.   Shen Changqing noticed these hidden gazes, but he merely glanced at them casually. Then, with a thought, he located all the resources within the palace, stored them in his Heavenly Universe, and turned to leave.
