Terran Guardian - Chapter 3556

Chapter 3534 Buddha

“Boom—”

The Chaos Dao Palace trembled violently, its ancient Dao aura, existing for countless ages, now crumbling and dissipating bit by bit. In

that instant,

all the cultivators in the Purple Sun Domain looked towards the Chaos Dao Palace, their faces filled with horror.

“What happened?”

“Could it be that the battle between the Supreme Beings is going to destroy the entire Chaos Dao Palace?”

But this thought was quickly dismissed.

How could it be!

Although the Supreme Beings were terrifying, this was the Chaos Dao Palace, the palace of the Chaos Ruler from ancient times, how could a Supreme Being shake it?

But the next moment,

the Chaos Dao Palace suddenly shattered.

“Boom!!!”

A strange and terrifying gray mist surged out of the Chaos Dao Palace like a tide, followed by a fierce sword light that cleaved through the mist. The Formless Supreme Being, without looking back, headed straight for the Chaos.

At the same time,

Buddhist light soared into the sky.

The Sumeru Ancestor, his white robes stained with blood, now wore an undisguised look of terror on his usually calm face, as if something horrible was pursuing him.

The sudden change caught everyone off guard.

However—

before anyone could understand what was happening, a vortex appeared out of thin air where the Chaos Palace had crumbled, followed by an extremely eerie sound.

“Eeya!”

It sounded like the cry of an infant, yet also like the shriek of a ghost. Any cultivator who heard it experienced an instant collapse of their consciousness, their vision shrouded in a strange, blood-red hue.

“No… what is this?!”

A Celestial Emperor cried out in horror, realizing his body no longer belonged to him. His consciousness was collapsing, his flesh was screaming, his skin was cracking and rotting, and his consciousness was gradually fading away.

Just then…

From within the vortex, a hand suddenly emerged, tearing space apart and unleashing a torrent of gray mist that surged wildly into the Purple Sun Domain.

Then

, the gray mist surged violently, revealing a Buddha seated serenely, holding a flower. His countenance was solemn, his golden body radiant, but upon closer inspection, it was revealed that beneath the golden body lay countless festering sores, not rotting, but rather twisted and shattered worlds.

The lotus platform beneath him was composed of countless pieces of flesh and blood, upon which the grotesque and distorted faces of all beings could be seen.

The Buddha sat on this fleshy lotus platform, smiling, but his face, which should have been compassionate, was twisted; his eyes were filled with eerie bloodshot veins, and a faint smile played on his lips, as if mocking all living beings.

At this moment,

the Great Dao collapsed!

Order crumbled!

The Buddha was the source of all chaos; every living being in the Purple Sun Domain, upon seeing this bizarre Buddha, lost their Dao heart, their spiritual realm became clouded, and they were reduced to mere walking corpses.

…

Divine Heaven Domain.

Inside the Nourishing Heart Abode.

Shen Changqing, who was cultivating and meditating under a tree, suddenly shifted his expression and looked inward at his own Heavenly Universe. He saw that the Heavenly Soul Curse imprints of many Acquired Demon Gods had shattered instantly.

These Acquired Demon Gods, to whom these Heavenly Soul Curses belonged, were all lurking in the Purple Sun Domain.

At this moment,

these Acquired Demon Gods had almost simultaneously perished, which surprised Shen Changqing.

Then,

his gaze fell on one of the shattered Heavenly Soul Curses.

The next moment—

Shen Changqing saw a strange Buddha sitting cross-legged in the Nine Heavens, the fleshy lotus platform beneath him twisting and writhing, its rules and order silently collapsing and dying.

The moment he saw this strange Buddha, the other seemed to sense something as well, and also cast his gaze.

Their eyes met!

“Boom—”

Shen Changqing felt a strange and extremely terrifying power strike him, causing his Sea of Consciousness, Spiritual Field, and even the entire Heavenly Universe to tremble violently, as if it were about to gradually collapse.

When Shen Changqing opened his eyes again, all he saw was a blood-red landscape, the space decaying and rotting, with black, foul-smelling pus flowing down, polluting the entire world.

But at that moment,

the Seven Profound Divine Tower, which had been silent until now, suddenly trembled, releasing a powerful and domineering force that instantly suppressed the previous eerie power.

Then,

the blood-red color faded,

and the decaying world was restored.

Looking at the scene before him again, the world was still the same world, and the Nourishing Heart Residence was still the same Nourishing Heart Residence, without any difference.

Everything had happened in an instant.

This sudden change left Shen Changqing horrified.

“What exactly was that thing—”

He could hardly imagine what kind of existence it was that could have almost caused him to completely succumb to it with just a glance.

You must know that

Shen Changqing’s cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm, and his strength was comparable to that of a long-lived being.

But even so,

just one glance at the image transmitted by the Heavenly Soul Curse had almost caused him to succumb to it.

If the Seven Profound Divine Tower hadn’t intervened at the crucial moment, Shen Changqing didn’t dare imagine what the consequences would have been.

A mere phantom was already terrifying; if it were the real entity, it would be even more horrifying.

“Sui!”

This was the thought that popped into Shen Changqing’s mind.

The corrupting power he had just witnessed was exactly the same as the aura of Sui he had seen before.

The difference was—

the power before was many times more terrifying than any Sui he had ever encountered.

He suspected

that the strange Buddha might be the legendary Sui.

Although Shen Changqing had never truly seen a Sui, he could determine it was one based on his sixth sense.

Just as Shen Changqing’s thoughts settled, he saw a familiar figure appear before him.

“Senior Jiuye?”

He hadn’t expected Jiuye, who had been in seclusion for so many years, to emerge from seclusion without a word.

“Young friend Shen!”

Jiuye nodded slightly.

His words startled Shen Changqing again, then his expression brightened with joy: “Senior, you’ve recovered?”

“I’d say I’ve recovered!”

Jiu Ye smiled faintly, and then, with a thought, the blood-red immortal coffin he had been carrying on his back appeared in his hand.

Shen Changqing’s gaze was involuntarily drawn to the blood-red immortal coffin.

Then,

under Shen Changqing’s curious gaze, Jiu Ye opened the blood-red immortal coffin, revealing nine swords lying quietly inside.

Seven of the swords were covered in cracks and had lost their luster, while the remaining two swords had a restrained divine light, seemingly emanating a primordial Daoist aura.

“I was originally a mortal herb in the lower realm, but later, through an unparalleled opportunity, I developed sentience and entered the realm of cultivation.

Later, I shed my mortal body and rebuilt my physical form; the nine leaves of the former herb transformed into nine swords.

Over the years, these nine swords have accompanied me in countless battles throughout the ages, slaying countless powerful enemies, resulting in the loss of seven swords, leaving only two.

Now that you are destined to meet me, I bestow upon you one sword to protect you on your path!”

After speaking, without waiting for Shen Changqing to reply, Jiu Ye directly pierced one of the immortal swords into his body.

The entire process happened in an instant.

By the time Shen Changqing reacted, the immortal sword had already appeared in his sea of consciousness.

“Why is Senior doing this?”

“Because I am leaving!”

“Is it related to the Purple Sun Domain?”

Shen Changqing’s words caused Jiu Ye’s expression to falter slightly. He then gave the other a deep look and nodded.

“You’re right, a malevolent spirit has emerged in the Purple Sun Domain. This matter must be resolved, otherwise, if the malevolent calamity is allowed to expand, the entire Chaos may fall.”

“How confident are you, Senior?” “

The malevolent spirit is strange and unpredictable. As for confidence, even I don’t know. But whether I’m confident or not, some things are destined to be done.”

Jiu Ye put on the blood coffin again—no, to be precise, it should be the sword box—and was about to leave.

Seeing this ,

Shen Changqing couldn’t help but speak up: “This junior also wants to see Senior’s methods. Is that alright?”

“The malevolent spirit is not as simple as you think, but—”

Jiu Ye seemed to have thought of something and said.

“Very well, since you want to go, then go. However, you must not interfere in this battle, nor are you allowed to step into the Purple Sun Domain. You can only watch the battle from the Chaos!”

“This junior understands.”

Shen Changqing naturally had no reason to refuse.

As his voice fell, Jiu Ye flicked his sleeve, and a golden bridge of the Great Dao pierced through the void, leading to an unknown destination.

“Let’s go!”

Jiu Ye stepped onto the Golden Bridge of the Great Dao. Seeing this, Shen Changqing didn’t hesitate and followed suit.

Before he could react, the void shifted again, and when he reappeared, he was in an unfamiliar chaotic void.

“This is… outside the Purple Sun Domain!”

Shen Changqing’s pupils constricted when he saw the scene in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm before him.

He recognized it as the Purple Sun Domain because a strange aura, thick as ink, completely obscured the entire immortal domain.

This scene

shocked Shen Changqing once again .

Such methods

were simply inconceivable.

One moment they were in the Divine Heaven Domain, and the next they were directly in the Purple Sun Domain.

Even with Shen Changqing’s current strength, even if he used all his methods, it would take at least a year to traverse so many immortal domains to arrive here.

But for Jiu Ye, it was just a single breath.

A single breath.

Traversing countless billions of miles of void.

How could such methods not be astonishing?

“Remember, never step into the Purple Sun Domain!”

Before Shen Changqing could ask any more questions, Jiu Ye said this and took a step towards the Purple Sun Domain.

With a single step, a blood-red sword river pierced through the chaotic void beneath his feet, slashing down towards the Immortal Domain below.

The previously thick, inky mist was instantly torn apart by this sword.

Through this,

Shen Changqing saw the scene within the Purple Sun Domain.

The Immortal Domain was shattered!

Living beings were bleeding!

The vast Immortal Domain was plunged into an apocalyptic state.

There were Immortal Emperors whose bodies were rotting, and even Half-Saints who had severed their own heads, dissected their own abdomens, and were voraciously devouring their own flesh—a scene of utterly bizarre beauty.

And above the Immortal Domain, in the Nine Heavens, a Buddha sat cross-legged.

The moment he saw this Buddha, a strange power, many times more terrifying than before, instantly engulfed Shen Changqing. (End of Chapter)
