Chapter 3542 The Fall of the Heavenly Dao Immortal City

To put it bluntly,

if this image-recording stone were to spread, it would be enough to corrupt many cultivators, causing them to fall into depravity.

However—

such an image-recording stone, which could contain the phantom of a Buddha, was no ordinary material.

It was naturally not easy for ordinary cultivators to obtain it.

Then,

Shen Changqing looked at the phantom of a Buddha in the strange mist. From its vague outline, it seemed somewhat similar to the strange Buddha from before.

However,

in a comparison,

it was certainly not as terrifying as the strange Buddha.

If it were truly the strange Buddha, even a mere phantom of it would be enough to cause the Xuan Tian Dao Sect to fall.   Shen Changqing had no doubt

about this .   As someone who had truly witnessed the strange Buddha, he naturally understood the latter’s terror.   Such an existence was itself the source of calamity; even a Celestial Emperor would be instantly corrupted by its direct gaze.   This—   was the terror of the strange Buddha.   The figure in the commemorative stone, while somewhat similar to the eerie Buddha from before, was actually quite different.   ”The ancient Zen holy land is strangely entrenched. This illusory Buddha image should be that of the Sumeru Ancestor. Continue to monitor the situation in the Divine Sun Domain!”   Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, and the illusory image vanished.   He had thought that the demise of the great demon in the Purple Sun Domain would have contained the demonic calamity, but unexpectedly, things had developed to this point.   However,   the Divine Sun Domain was separated from the Divine Heaven Domain by countless billions of miles. Even if the demonic calamity erupted, it wouldn’t affect the Xuan Tian Dao Sect for the time being.   As everyone dispersed, the atmosphere on each peak became extremely tense.   The news from the Divine Sun Domain put immense pressure on everyone else.   Shen Changqing saw   all this , but didn’t pay much attention.   At the same time,   he also instructed the cultivators of the Xingdao Alliance to temporarily evacuate the Divine Sun Domain.   After all, Shen Changqing understood the terrifying nature of the demonic calamity.   If the calamity of the Ancient Zen Holy Land cannot be contained, it will inevitably affect the entire Immortal Realm.   At that time   , those with insufficient cultivation will easily succumb.   The cultivators of the Xingdao Alliance are not particularly strong, so how easy is it for them to resist the calamity?   However,   a few days later,   another acquired demon god fell.   Shen Changqing looked at the shattered Heavenly Soul Curse, and his divine sense immediately entered it.   The next moment,   a scene appeared.   A towering immortal city was in ruins, stained with countless amounts of blood, making the city walls mottled and filthy, with severed limbs everywhere. A Celestial Emperor’s   body was mostly devoured, his immortal bones exposed to the air, and a Longevity Immortal had his head cut off and was about to be thrown on the ground, his immortal blood gushing out like a burst dam, alarming all sides.   Countless malevolent beasts rampaged, and in the void, a bizarre Buddha sat cross-legged, his lotus throne formed from the blood and flesh of countless cultivators, their twisted and ferocious faces reflected in his image, their eyes filled with pain and despair.   His white robes were now stained with blood.   His eyes were downcast, filled only with distortion and madness.   ”Ancestor Sumeru—”   The moment Shen Changqing saw the bizarre Buddha, he understood its identity.   In the instant their eyes met ,   an extremely powerful corrupting force swept across the endless void, seemingly intent on assimilating him completely.   But the next instant   , the Soul-Destroying Sword within his sea of consciousness trembled slightly, unleashing an immense sword intent that swept away all the corrupting force in that instant.   This corrupting force was far weaker than the great malevolent beast of the Purple Sun Domain.   However   , even so   , it was terrifying enough for an ordinary cultivator.   Just look at the scene transmitted back by the Heavenly Soul Curse. If it weren’t for triggering the power of the Soul-Destroying Sword, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Shen Changqing, with his current cultivation level, to withstand it.   Although Shen Changqing had never truly met the Sumeru Ancestor, he recognized the other party’s identity the moment he saw the white-robed Buddha.   That was the Sumeru Ancestor!   The ancient supreme being of the Ancient Zen Holy Land!   But now,   the Sumeru Ancestor had been corrupted and become a demonic beast, but the feeling he gave Shen Changqing seemed different from the demonic beasts he had seen before.   As for that ancient immortal city, Shen Changqing didn’t feel unfamiliar with it either.   That immortal city was the Heavenly Dao Immortal City.   But that first immortal city of the Divine Sun Domain had now completely fallen.   The demonic calamity was spreading.   Countless demonic beasts were engulfing everything.   ”The Heavenly Dao Immortal City has fallen. It seems that the situation in the Divine Sun Domain is not optimistic. The Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands all have their foundations, but whether they can withstand this demonic calamity is unknown!”   Shen Changqing thought to himself.   After all, Ancestor Sumeru was an ancient supreme being, possessing immense strength.   As for whether there were any ancient supreme beings among the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands, Shen Changqing believed there should be.   However, as fellow supreme beings ,   whether the other could suppress Ancestor Sumeru was unknown.   Taking a deep breath,   Shen Changqing suppressed his shock and temporarily set aside the matter.   …   On the other side.   At the location of the Divine Sun Immortal Court.   Countless demonic beasts transformed into a torrent, seemingly intent on devouring the entire world.   A fierce battle erupted between the army and the demonic beasts, with countless cultivators perishing on the spot every moment.   ”Boom!”   A crimson light pierced through the void, and the heads of several demonic beasts that had reached the Immortal Emperor realm suddenly exploded. Their headless bodies struggled slightly before falling silent again.   ”The King of Chess has arrived!”   ”Kill—”

The cultivators of the Divine Sun Immortal Court were greatly encouraged by this scene.

The Great Yi Immortal Emperor!

One of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Kings!

The Sunset Divine Bow was his symbol.

Seeing him arrive naturally brought a sigh of relief to the others.

Regardless,

the Great Yi Immortal Emperor’s strength was undeniable.

Seeing him personally take action boosted the morale of the army.

However,

in the void,

the Great Yi Immortal Emperor’s face was grim. Every arrow fired from the Sunset Divine Bow was accompanied by the fall of an Immortal Emperor-level demonic beast.

Even so, he showed no joy.

There

were simply too many demonic beasts.

As far as the eye could see, the demonic beast army was overwhelming, with no end in sight.

All the territories of the Divine Sun Immortal Court were being invaded by demonic beasts; this battlefield was just one of many.

Just then, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted. A demonic beast pierced through the void, its eerie aura permeating all directions, causing many cultivators of the Divine Sun Immortal Court to experience some kind of transformation.

“A semi-saintly beast!”

The Great Yi Immortal Emperor’s expression changed slightly. He took a step forward, and nine illusory images of the universe suppressed the void. The rules of the Great Dao transformed into a mighty river, instantly dispelling all the strange and corrupting power.

The cultivators who were about to undergo mutations due to the beast’s power were now able to catch their breath.

“Send down the order! The army retreats to the rear immortal city!”

The Great Yi Immortal Emperor roared angrily. At the same time, he drew the Sunset Divine Bow to its limit, and nine crimson rays rose like nine great suns, fiercely attacking the semi-saintly beast.

The beast roared and reached out to grab the nine arrows.

“Pfft—”

The arrows pierced the beast’s flesh, but such a severe injury healed in less than a breath.

The next moment,

the semi-saintly beast moved like a ghost. Before its illusory image disappeared, its true form was already in front of the Great Yi Immortal Emperor.

The Great Yi Immortal Emperor remained composed, unleashing the power of the Sunset Divine Bow, imbued with the might of the nine universes, to engage the semi-saint beast in battle.

However,

the semi-saint beast was still a semi-saint.

Even though it had been corrupted by the power of the calamity and reduced to a beast only capable of slaughter, its strength remained terrifying.

After a brief exchange ,

the Great Yi Immortal Emperor was injured.

Just then

, a spear shattered the void, directly breaking through all the strange power and piercing the semi-saint beast’s chest, pinning it firmly to the void.

Seeing this opportunity, the Great Yi Immortal Emperor did not hesitate. He immediately unleashed a cold beam from the Sunset Divine Bow, instantly shattering the semi-saint beast’s head.

Immediately afterward,

several more cold beams struck, causing its body to disintegrate, and its remaining life force was extinguished.

All of this happened in an instant, from the appearance of the spear to the Great Yi Immortal Emperor seizing the opportunity to kill the semi-saint beast, the entire process took less than a breath.

Only after the half-saint beast perished did the Great Yi Immortal Emperor look towards other directions in the void.

There,

a cultivator in black immortal robes appeared.

“War King!”

The Great Yi Immortal Emperor cupped his hands.

If Gu Lan hadn’t arrived in time, he would have been no match for this half-saint beast.

Gu Lan reached out and a spear appeared in his hand. He then glanced at the densely packed beasts on the battlefield, his expression cold.

“The Heavenly Emperor has ordered that the beasts, being powerful, temporarily defend the city!”

“I will obey!”

The Great Yi Immortal Emperor nodded. He himself had ordered the army to retreat to the immortal city, and now that the order from the Immortal Court had arrived, there was naturally no conflict.

Afterwards ,

the Great Yi Immortal Emperor’s expression shifted slightly, and he asked again, “What is the situation in other parts of the Immortal Court now?”

“Not optimistic—”

Gu Lan shook his head slightly, his expression remaining solemn.

“There are simply too many demonic beasts. The Celestial Court has already deployed numerous powerful figures, but they still haven’t been able to defeat this massive army.

So far, many Celestial Emperors have perished, and even two Half-Saints have died.

If this continues, the situation will only worsen!”

Gu Lan sighed as he finished speaking.

Everything happened too fast.

Who could have imagined that

the mighty Ancient Zen Holy Land, one of the thirteen holy lands, would suddenly fall and become the source of this demonic calamity in the Divine Sun Domain?

Even more unexpectedly,

that ancient supreme being was corrupted by a great demon.

Because the great demon in the Purple Sun Domain was killed by a mysterious powerful figure, few people had witnessed its terrifying power firsthand.

But now,

the Sumeru Ancestor has been corrupted, and the vast Ancient Zen Holy Land has become the source of the demonic calamity.

This alone

shows that the great demon in the Purple Sun Domain is definitely not simple.

But now it’s too late to say anything.

The demonic calamity erupted,

sweeping across most of the Divine Sun Domain with lightning speed.

By the time the Divine Sun Immortal Court realized what was happening, the calamity had already become a significant threat.
