Terran Guardian - Chapter 3580

Chapter 3558 One Man Guards a Celestial Realm

Slaying Venerable Dongming.

Shen Changqing glanced at the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

He saw that his life essence had increased by six points out of thin air.

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing immediately understood.

Although Venerable Dongming was an Eight Tribulation Half-Saint at his peak, his strength had declined, so the life essence he could contribute was naturally reduced accordingly.

But regardless,

six and a half points of Saint essence.

Shen Changqing was already satisfied.

Including the Blood-Clad Monk, this battle had already yielded seven and a half points of Saint essence.

As long as he gathered a little more, creating a Half-Saint Innate Demon God would not be a problem.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing looked at the situation in the Thousand Demon Realm. He moved his divine sense, and all his avatars transformed into streams of light and entered his body.

Immediately afterwards…

With a flick of his sleeve, Shen Changqing conjured a crimson array plate, twelve immortal swords brimming with overwhelming killing intent hovering in the void, unleashing a devastating killing array.

All the evil beasts within the array’s range were annihilated before they could even react.

The Immortal Extinction Array Diagram—

this supreme treasure—was rarely used by Shen Changqing anymore.

While the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram was incredibly powerful, with all twelve Immortal Extinction swords unleashed to form an Immortal Extinction Sword Array, capable of slaying even top-tier Immortal Emperors,

it was now of little use to Shen Changqing, a top-grade Emperor Immortal artifact.

Unless the latter could be upgraded to a Primordial Emperor Weapon, that would be a different story.

However,

without a great stroke of luck, upgrading the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram to a Primordial Emperor Weapon was no easy feat.

Even as an eighth-tier Grandmaster of Weapon Refining, Shen Changqing had no confidence in reforging the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram.

This was because the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram’s extraordinary power lay in its Immortal Extinction Sword Array.

Without the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation, the Immortal Extinction Formation Diagram would at most be considered a common top-grade Emperor Immortal artifact.

However, with the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation, this treasure is worthy of being called a top-tier top-grade Emperor Immortal artifact, even comparable to a so-called half-step Innate Emperor Weapon.

However,

regardless of whether Shen Changqing has the ability to reforge the Immortal Extinction Formation Diagram, he simply cannot reforge the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation.

Therefore,

this treasure has been dormant for many years.

But it is undeniable that in group battles, the Immortal Extinction Formation Diagram can play a huge role.

Once this formation is activated, it will slaughter everything.

Moreover, with Shen Changqing’s current strength increase, no one below the Half-Saint level can break the suppression of the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation.

Now that Shen Changqing is activating this formation to deal with other demonic beasts, it is a complete dimensional reduction attack.

The killing formation is set up.

One demonic beast after another dies and bleeds.

Whether it is a demonic beast at the Ancient Immortal level or the Immortal Emperor level, the result is the same.

With Shen Changqing personally taking action, the pressure on the Thousand Demon Domain is greatly reduced.

“This is the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!”

Yuan Zun stared at the twelve immortal swords radiating terrifying killing intent and the blood-red array plate, his eyes filled with apprehension.

Although the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation wasn’t targeting him, its murderous aura already made him secretly tremble. Even

the Hun Tian Staff trembled slightly before the Immortal-Slaying Array Diagram, as if sensing a powerful threat.

In the void,

Shen Changqing activated the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, slaying a large number of demonic beasts. Simultaneously, he multitasked, his divine sense spreading wildly, covering most of the Thousand Demon Domain, instantly suppressing the Immortal Emperor demonic beasts of other prefectures. In

less than half an hour, all the top demonic beasts of the Thousand Demon Domain were slaughtered.

But even so, demonic beasts continued to pour in from beyond the heavens.

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing stepped into the Ninth Heaven, then pushed the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation to its limit, creating a heaven-reaching killing array that covered the entire Ninth Heaven.

Twelve Immortal-Slaying Swords stood guard in all directions, instantly transforming the Nine Heavens into a battlefield.

A massive amount of immortal power surged forth, flooding into the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, yet Shen Changqing remained calm.

If it were any other Immortal Emperor, such unrestrained activation of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation would be unsustainable for long.

But for Shen Changqing, such consumption was insignificant.

His Nine Immortal Emperor Universes were all cultivated to their peak.

The foundation contained in any one of these universes was equivalent to that of a normal Immortal Emperor’s Nine Immortal Emperor Universes.

Therefore

, even with his full power activated, he felt little burdened.

“Boom!!!”

The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation blotted out the sun, completely shattering the Nine Heavens with its destructive sword energy. The vast Immortal Domain seemed to be completely exposed to chaos, with massive amounts of chaotic energy and malevolent aura pouring down.

However,

before this power could truly reach the Thousand Demon Domain, it was already shattered by the sword formation.

This commotion instantly attracted the attention of many powerful beings within the chaos.

“This is… the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation?”

“This formation truly lives up to its name; only those with immortality can break it!”

“This young man’s foundation is truly formidable. Even if other Immortal Emperors obtained the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, they would find it difficult to utilize it to such an extent!”

An ancient being recognized the formation’s origin at a single glance.

Although the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram was merely an Emperor-level artifact, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation itself was quite renowned.

Especially after Shen Changqing collected all twelve Immortal-Slaying Swords, the formation appeared frequently, allowing many cultivators to witness its existence firsthand.

Later, as news spread, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation’s fame soared once more.

Now, with the outbreak of calamity in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, countless powerful figures have turned their attention to the Divine Wind Continent.

Normally, the Thousand Demon Domain, as a mid-level Immortal Domain, wouldn’t attract much attention.

But now, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation is tearing through the Nine Heavens; its terrifying killing sword energy can be clearly heard not only in the Thousand Demon Domain but even in the chaotic void. Naturally

, this

has attracted the attention of many ancient beings.

However—

despite this, no one dared to make a move.

The Immortal Extinction Sword Formation was indeed powerful, but it was ultimately only a formation at the Immortal Emperor level, posing little threat to a Longevity Half-Saint.

Only a few ancient Immortal Emperors truly coveted such a treasure.

But even these Immortal Emperors, though envious, dared not make a move.

After all, everyone knew that the Immortal-Slaying Array Diagram was in Shen Changqing’s hands.

First, the Crimson-Eyebrowed Venerable perished!

Then, the Fourth Tribulation Half-Saint Lu Baiyi died a bloody death!

Shen Changqing, the master of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, was already a force to be reckoned with.

Even if other Immortal Emperors had survived for countless years through various means, accumulating vast resources, they would never dare to contend with Shen Changqing.

An Immortal Emperor is, after all, an Immortal Emperor; no matter how vast their accumulation, contending with a Half-Saint is still extremely difficult.

Throughout the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, those who could truly contend with a Half-Saint within the Immortal Emperor realm were few and

far between. Moreover,

Shen Changqing’s strength was far beyond that of an ordinary Half-Saint.

The fall of the Fourth Tribulation Half-Saint Lu Baiyi had further elevated his reputation to its peak.

Even in the Chaos Realm, many ancient cultivators who remained hidden had heard of Shen Changqing’s name.

Therefore,

with the appearance of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, naturally no one dared to contest it.

Furthermore—

the Thousand Demon Domain and the Divine Heaven Domain were adjacent.

These cultivators hadn’t forgotten how Shen Changqing had used a supreme treasure to lure a group of powerful individuals into a contest, only to then ruthlessly slaughter them all.

Therefore,

even if the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation Diagram was merely an Emperor-level artifact, or even if it had truly advanced to the Innate Emperor-level weapon, no one would dare to contest it.

Supreme treasures are valuable,

but one must possess sufficient strength to wield them.

To act recklessly would be tantamount to suicide.

Not long after the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation appeared, the cultivators in the Chaos Realm all averted their gazes.

There was nothing interesting to see in the Thousand Demon Domain.

With Shen Changqing present,

other demonic beasts posed little threat.

Unless, of course,

a top-tier demonic beast appeared, such as one that had reached the seventh tribulation of a Half-Saint or even entered the Saint level.

But demonic beasts are bloodthirsty.

It wasn’t easy for beings from the mid-level Immortal Realm to attract these demonic beasts.

Most of the powerful demonic beasts focused their attention on other powerful Immortal Realms.

Only some weaker demonic beasts would set their sights on the mid-level Immortal Realms.

Meanwhile,

the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation continued.

Shen Changqing naturally noticed the numerous gazes cast upon him from the chaos, but he paid them no heed.

As long as they didn’t make a move, he was too lazy to engage them.

At this moment, as demonic beasts fell one after another, a large amount of their essence was secretly absorbed and devoured by the Seven Profound Divine Tower, unknowingly increasing the amount of essence considerably.

…

Half a month later.

With the fall of the last demonic beast, the long-standing turmoil in the Thousand Demon Realm finally subsided.

At this time,

many cultivators looked up at the sky.

There,

twelve immortal swords stood in the void, their terrifying killing aura permeating the nine heavens. Any demonic beast that dared to enter the formation was instantly killed on the spot.

For the past half-month, thanks to the existence of the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation, no new demonic beast has been able to break through the Ninth Heaven and invade the Thousand Demon Domain.

This is the fundamental reason why the demonic calamity in the Thousand Demon Domain was quelled so quickly.   With

no new demonic beasts appearing, and the top demonic beasts in the original Thousand Demon Domain all having been slain by Shen Changqing,   it was naturally easy for Mingxi, Yuan Zun, and other Immortal Emperors to wipe out the remaining demonic beasts in the Immortal Domain.   ”The Sect Master’s foundation is truly unfathomable! This formation has maintained itself for half a month without stopping!”   Mingxi, watching the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation continuously slaying demonic beasts, couldn’t help but take a deep breath.   One can easily guess how much energy this level of formation consumes.   After all, a top-tier killing formation covering an entire Immortal Domain consumes a massive amount of immortal power with every breath.   But even so, Shen Changqing showed no signs of fatigue.   One person, one formation   —enough to guard an entire Immortal Domain.   With him here, Mingxi felt that there was no need for the others to exist.   After all, the enemy guarded the Nine Heavens, and no demonic beast could break through the array’s barrier;   they all perished instantly. Under such circumstances, there was naturally no use for them.   Furthermore,   if there truly was a demonic beast powerful enough to break through the Immortal Extinction Sword Array’s seal, its strength would at least be comparable to a half-saint.   A demonic beast of that level was not something they could contend with.   Therefore,   in Mingxi’s view, with Shen Changqing taking action, it seemed to make no difference whether they were present or not.
