Terran Guardian - Chapter 3608

Chapter 3586 Is Heaven going to destroy my human race?!

The Void Divine Ship passed through the barrier of the heavens.

The anticipated suppression did not appear.

Everything seemed to fall into place naturally.

The moment he stepped into the universe, a familiar feeling welled up from the bottom of Shen Changqing’s heart.

Although he had ascended to the upper realm for millions of years, returning to the universe now, that vague familiarity and connection still caused a slight ripple in his calm Dao heart.

“The universe!”

Shen Changqing took a deep breath.

He never thought that he would be able to return to this world one day.

At the same time ,

Ji Yang also looked at the universe before him, his eyes showing a subtle expression.

“Master, the power of the Heavenly Dao in this world seems to have been exhausted. The so-called suppression of order is probably no longer there!”

The moment he stepped into the universe, Ji Yang noticed the clues.

Although he was only an ancient immortal, as an ancient Dao Venerable, he still had the necessary perspective.   Shen Changqing also noticed

this .   He gazed upwards at the chaos, seemingly able to pierce through all illusions and perceive the very essence of the chaos.   ”The invasion of the evil beasts has brought down heavenly punishment. The origin of the Heavenly Dao is not inexhaustible; its current depletion is perfectly normal!”   With just a glance, Shen Changqing understood the whole story.   However—   these were not problems.   Given enough time, the depleted origin would eventually recover.   This was different from the incomplete origin of the past.   The former was like a cultivator’s immortal power; once consumed, it could slowly recover.   The latter was like a damaged foundation; not only could it not recover on its own, but it might even slowly deteriorate and collapse over time.   Then,   Shen Changqing’s divine sense spread out, taking in the scene across billions of miles of void.   Within the area covered by his divine sense, only evil beasts existed; no other races or creatures were present. It was clear that this void had been completely occupied by evil beasts.   ”Destroy!”   Shen Changqing uttered a single word, unleashing all his divine power. Within billions of miles of void, every living demonic beast exploded instantly, seemingly crushed by a terrifying force, turning into minced meat in a flash.   These demonic beasts that invaded the heavens were at most at the Immortal King level, utterly insignificant ants to Shen Changqing.   Now that the Heavenly Dao’s origin was exhausted, no divine punishment would descend, so Shen Changqing didn’t need to deliberately suppress his cultivation level. All   he needed to do was be careful not to use too much power and destroy the entire heavens.   After all—   while breaking through a microcosm from the outside required the power of a half-saint to tear its barrier   , shattering it from within was much easier.   This was the reason why the ancient battle had damaged the origin of the heavens.   At the same time   , this was also why   the Heavenly Dao restricted entry for cultivators of Ancient Immortal level and above.   Even if they did enter, they had to suppress their cultivation to the Immortal King level.   The purpose was…   This was to prevent overly powerful beings from acting recklessly and causing irreversible damage to the universe.   At Shen Changqing’s level, his control over his own power was already extremely refined.   Now, using a small amount of power was enough to deal with the demonic beasts lurking in billions of miles of void without affecting the universe.   After suppressing this batch of demonic beasts, Shen Changqing looked at Ji Yang and Gu Qingyang and said, “You two are responsible for guarding the passage to this realm. Slay all demonic beasts that enter this realm!”   ”Disciples obey!”   Both respectfully accepted the order.   The main reason Shen Changqing didn’t erase the source of this realm was that he wasn’t sure if the Ascension Altar could withstand his power, allowing him to return to the Upper Realm via the altar.   If not, then they would still have to leave through this passage.   Frequently tearing apart the cosmic barrier was not good for a small universe,   especially now.   The origin of the universe was severely depleted.   Continuing in this manner would only create greater hidden dangers.   Therefore…   Shen Changqing considered this rift his escape route. If ascending to the altar was impossible, he would use this rift to return to the Upper Realm.   Then,   Shen Changqing looked at Yu Ren and the others.   ”You are responsible for suppressing the various evil beasts. As for the Ancient Continent, I will handle that!”   ”Disciples obey!”   they all nodded.   Then,   Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, put away the Void Divine Ship, and took a step, his figure instantly disappearing from the spot.   The Microcosm was vast; even for a powerful Immortal King, traversing a universe was not an easy task.   But for Shen Changqing, the Microcosm was nothing.   Billions of miles of void were merely a matter of a thought to him.   In less than a few breaths, Shen Changqing had already seen the Ancient Continent.   However—   Shen Changqing stopped, then turned his gaze to a world in the Upper Realm.   ”Changqing Realm—”   He was all too familiar with this world.   …   At this moment.   Within the Evergreen Realm, a massive invasion by the demonic beast army turned the entire realm into a battlefield.   Led by the Human Imperial Court, various forces united to fight the demonic beasts.   Most ordinary cultivators retreated to the rear.   But it was futile.   The demonic beasts were simply too numerous.   Even the Human race, trying to control the battlefield in other provinces, was powerless.   Ultimately, they could only watch helplessly as the battlefield spread, eventually engulfing all nine provinces, including   Sword Province.

A figure in black stood amidst the void, his immortal sword stained with blood, terrifying sword energy crisscrossing the heavens and earth, slaying one powerful demonic beast after another.

However—

the number of demonic beasts was simply too great, one after another charging forward. Even with his previously formidable strength, he could not escape being stained with blood.

“There are too many of these bizarre Immortal Kings!”

The Immortal Slayer slew another bizarre Immortal King with a single sword strike, but looking at the bizarre Immortal Kings constantly emerging in the void, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

These bizarre Immortal Kings were not particularly strong; in a one-on-one fight, the Immortal Slayer was absolutely confident in easily suppressing them.

Even now,

when he faced eight bizarre Immortal Kings alone, he could still gain the upper hand, or even turn the tables and kill his opponents.

After all,

over the years,

the Immortal Slayer’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Immortal King level, and he was only one step away from ascension and attaining the Dao.

In this prosperous era, breaking through to the Immortal King realm is not too difficult for true geniuses, and even reaching the pinnacle of the Immortal King realm is much easier than before.

The only difficult part is the transformation from Immortal King to Ancient Immortal, which is the true watershed.

As the sect master of the Immortal Ascension Sect and the former strongest in the Central Profound Realm, the Immortal Slayer’s talent is beyond doubt.

But even so,

the Immortal Slayer is now feeling somewhat exhausted.

He has forgotten how many strange creatures he has slain. The entire Sword Continent has now become a battlefield, and more than half of the disciples of the Immortal Ascension Sect have been lost.

In this vast continent, the only places that can truly be considered pure lands are the ancestral lands of various forces.

They are protected by formations and are temporarily unaffected by the calamity.

However—

these are all temporary.

As the number of strange creatures increases, the ancestral lands of other forces, relying solely on formations for protection, have no chance of survival.

“Boom—”

With a single swing of his sword, the Immortal Slayer cleaved a strange Immortal King in two. However, the relentless onslaught of other strange Immortal Kings overwhelmed him, leaving him mentally exhausted and unable to dodge effectively.

Finally,

his protective immortal aura shattered.

Several gruesome, deep wounds, revealing bone, appeared on the Immortal Slayer’s body.

A torrent of immortal blood flowed out, deepening the color of his black robes.

“Kill!!”

The excruciating pain invigorated the Immortal Slayer. His expression turned cold as he continued his attack on the other strange Immortal Kings.

Now that the Evergreen Realm had become a battlefield, he had no way to retreat.

If he retreated

, the Evergreen Realm would surely perish, and the foundation of the Immortal Ascension Sect would be utterly destroyed.

Although the Immortal Ascension Sect had established a foothold in the Ancient Continent, its true foundation remained in the Evergreen Realm.

As the sect leader, the Immortal Slayer would not stand idly by and watch his sect crumble.

Moreover—

besides being the sect leader of the Immortal Ascension Sect, he also held the identity of a Human Immortal King.

As a Human Immortal King, how could he retreat without a fight when humanity was in peril?

His pride and dignity as an Immortal King would never allow him to do so.

Therefore,

the Immortal Slayer was already prepared to fight to the death.

“Boom!”

With a single step, his previously weakened aura returned to its peak, his terrifying power overwhelming the heavens. The immortal sword in his hand erupted with unprecedented cold light, instantly shattering the three strange Immortal Kings’ heads, causing their immediate demise.

However, this scene, witnessed by the cultivators of the Immortal Ascension Sect, only brought sorrow to their faces.

“Master!”

Ying Tianyun cried out in grief. He could see that the Immortal Slayer was now using his own essence, blood, and soul power for a final desperate gamble.

While this method wasn’t as extreme as the ultimate as sublimation, if the battle dragged on, it would ultimately lead to certain death.

Yet, despite this,

Ying Tianyun had no way to stop him. There were simply too many of these bizarre creatures.   Even with all

its resources, the Immortal Cultivation Sect was struggling to contend with them. Ying Tianyun had lost count of how long he had been fighting. His fellow disciples were dying one by one, some even having their bodies devoured by these strange beings.   Even he himself was wounded, with several deep, bone-revealing wounds that, even with the powerful life force of an Immortal King, were difficult to heal on their own.   Just then,   a terrifying aura suddenly descended from the sky, and everything in the entire Changqing Realm seemed to fall into eternal stillness.   Under the suppression of this terrifying aura, even an Immortal King could not move an inch.   Ying Tianyun felt this extremely terrifying aura, his eyes filled with horror, but even more so with despair.   ”Could it be that Heaven truly intends to destroy my human race?!”   —   PS: I overdid it reading today, sorry! I’ll add the remaining chapters later!
