Terran Guardian - Chapter 3610

Chapter 3588 Ancestor Changqing

The Ancient Continent.

Heavenly Sect.

Now, a large number of demonic beasts are besieging the sect. The sect’s protective formation has been broken. Led by Jiang Zhen, many Heavenly Sect experts have bravely fought against the demonic beasts.

The vast sect is now stained with blood.

“Kill!”

Lei Ji stepped into the void, his body surrounded by vast divine lightning. A phantom of a thunder swamp appeared in the void, crashing down upon a demonic beast at the half-step Ancient Immortal level.

Boom—

The half-step Ancient Immortal demonic beast unleashed a punch, and billions of lightning bolts dissipated, the phantom of the thunder swamp crumbling and shattering inch by inch.

Seeing this,

Lei Ji remained calm. He directly communicated with the entire Thunder Swamp Cave Heaven through his divine sense, and in the next instant, a terrifying aura of lightning suddenly erupted.

“Today, I, as the Immortal King of the Thunder Swamp Clan, borrow the power of Thunder Swamp to suppress this strange entity!”

Lei Ji roared, his purple robes fluttering in the wind. The truly complete ancient Thunder Swamp slowly emerged from the Thunder Swamp Cave Heaven.

In that instant,

the entire Heavenly Sect trembled.

Everyone looked towards the direction of Thunder Swamp Peak, where an ancient Thunder Swamp lingered in the void. Even a mere wisp of its aura caused an Immortal King to feel a chill.

“This is the foundation of Thunder Swamp Peak!”

“The power of Thunder Swamp has become even more terrifying!”

Many Heavenly Sect elders were shocked.

Thunder Swamp, as the Thunder Swamp Clan’s most treasured possession, had always been kept within the Thunder Swamp Cave Heaven. Even the elders of the various peaks rarely had the opportunity to see it.

They had long heard of this ancient treasure.

But compared to millions of years ago, the Thunder Swamp of today had become far more terrifying.

The other demonic beasts attacking the Heavenly Sect seemed to sense the threat of Thunder Swamp and became restless.

“Destroy!”

At this moment, Lei Ji transformed into the true form of the Thunder God, immediately unleashing the power of the Thunder Swamp, unleashing a torrent of lightning towards the battlefield below.

The earth-shattering shockwaves ravaged all sides, instantly obliterating any demonic beasts touched by this power.

This sight

shocked the Heavenly Sect, yet also secretly delighted them.

The Thunder Swamp lineage’s strength greatly reduced their pressure.

This single strike alone caused over a dozen eerie Immortal Kings to perish on the spot.

However,

only Lei Ji and the other Immortal Kings of Thunder Swamp Peak remained solemn, their faces devoid of any joy.

They knew very well that Lei Ji’s actions were depleting the Thunder Swamp’s primordial power.

Ultimately,

the Thunder Swamp was different from ordinary treasures.

Such treasures were the very foundation that nurtured the Thunder Swamp clan, and the power contained within was naturally inexhaustible.

Lei Ji’s attack had already used one-tenth of the Thunder Swamp’s accumulated power over the years.

But there was no other way.

Things had developed to this point, and they were destined to have no way out.

If the Heavenly Sect falls, what use would it be even if Thunder Swamp Peak could preserve the entire Thunder Swamp?

“Roar—”

Just then, a terrifying aura suddenly descended. The void shattered, and a Daoist, his robes stained with blood and half his face rotting, appeared out of thin air.

Seeing the bizarre Daoist before them, all the Heavenly Sect cultivators paled.

“A bizarre ancient immortal!!!”

Jiang Zhen’s mind trembled violently. The aura emanating from the bizarre Daoist before him had already broken through the limits of the Immortal King, enough to rival the level of an ancient immortal.

To be precise,

his aura

was stronger than that of an ordinary ancient immortal.

Even just that aura was enough to make the other Immortal Kings feel breathless.

Tai Shan’s expression was also horrified: “Now there are bizarre beings at the level of ancient immortals appearing in the heavens. It seems the power of the Heavenly Dao’s origin has been exhausted—”

The Heavenly Dao’s origin exhausted!

Ancient immortals descending!

This is the end of the entire heavens.

Not to mention anything else, just this bizarre ancient immortal before them is something the Heavenly Sect cannot contend with.

Even if an entire sect were to exhaust its resources, dealing with an existence of this level would be no easy task.

If it were an ordinary ancient immortal, that would be

one thing. If they truly used all their resources, there might still be a chance of a fight.

But the aura of this strange ancient immortal before them was terrifyingly deep, clearly comparable to an ordinary ancient immortal.

“Prepare to break through!”

Jiang Zhen took a deep breath, quickly calming down, his eyes filled with determination. The “breakthrough”

he spoke of meant abandoning the sect’s foundation to preserve the Heavenly Sect’s lineage as much as possible.

A powerful and strange ancient immortal was clearly beyond the Heavenly Sect’s ability to contend with.

A true fight to the death would inevitably end in the Heavenly Sect’s destruction.

Jiang Zhen could not allow the Heavenly Sect’s lineage to perish in his hands.

Right now, the only option was to break through first, preserving as much of the lineage’s inheritance as possible; other matters could be dealt with later. As

his words fell ,

Jiang Zhen’s right hand clenched in the air, and a crimson divine sword slowly appeared, which he grasped in his hand.

This divine weapon was none other than the Crimson Serpent Sword.

This person was originally responsible for guarding the Tomb of Soldiers, holding a position of great prestige, and only the successive sect leaders had the authority to command such a being.

Now that Jiang Zhen had even brought out the Crimson Serpent Sword, it was clear that the opponent was prepared for a desperate fight.

“Sect Leader—”

The elders of each peak all paled.

Jiang Zhen said in a deep voice, “No need for further words. As the sect leader of the Heavenly Sect, how can I flee without a fight? I will intercept this strange ancient immortal with all my might. You seize the opportunity to break through.

Remember, Elder Batian has already ascended to the Upper Realm, and the Ancestor may return from the Upper Realm at any time.

Right now, the only way is to preserve the sect’s lineage and inheritance; in the future, there will be hope of seizing that sliver of life.”

Hearing this,

the others took a deep breath, their faces showing resentment, but they understood that this was the only way.

Just then…

The eerie ancient immortal attacked, its withered, rotting arm reaching for the Heavenly Sect. Its five fingers seemed to contain the power to overturn heaven and earth, the terrifying pressure causing everyone to tremble.

“Go!”

Jiang Zhen roared, the immense power of the Heavenly Sect’s fortune now concentrated on him. In that instant, his cultivation level leaped from the mid-stage Immortal King to the peak of the Immortal King realm.

However—

this didn’t stop there.

Jiang Zhen burned his essence, blood, and soul, completely transforming his own Dao foundation into fuel, forcibly boosting his strength, stepping halfway into the Ancient Immortal realm.

“So what if it’s an eerie ancient immortal… Today I’ll see just how powerful these so-called ancient immortals truly are!”

Jiang Zhen stepped into the void, pouring all his power into the Crimson Serpent Sword. The crimson divine sword trembled, and then a heaven-reaching sword aura manifested as a celestial river, fiercely slashing towards the eerie ancient immortal.

This sword strike, imbued with Jiang Zhen’s entire power, cleaved through layers of void, ultimately striking the palm of the eerie ancient immortal.

“Boom—!!!”

A devastating shockwave erupted, accompanied by a mournful cry from the divine sword. This immense power failed to even budge the eerie ancient immortal.

The overwhelming force directly shattered the sword energy. In

an instant,

Jiang Zhen was struck as if by lightning, his body flying backward.

The next moment

, a gentle force came from behind, instantly stabilizing his flying form. Simultaneously, the eerie ancient immortal’s power vanished abruptly.

This sudden turn of events left Jiang Zhen stunned, seemingly unable to react.

To the other Heavenly Sect cultivators, a familiar figure in green robes appeared out of thin air, catching Jiang Zhen. With a flick of his sleeve, the power capable of destroying a Heavenly Sect vanished without a trace.

“Sect…Sect Master!!!”

The elders of each peak stared blankly at the figure, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

But all the complex emotions quickly turned into joy.

“It’s Ancestor Changqing!”

“The Ancestor has returned from the Upper Realm!!!”

From elders to ordinary disciples, everyone in the Heavenly Sect felt a surge of relief, looking at Shen Changqing with excitement.

Ancestor Shen Changqing of the Heavenly Sect!

This being, who ascended to the Upper Realm millions of years ago, had actually returned from the Upper Realm.

How could such news not excite them?

At this moment,

Jiang Zhen also realized who had caught him. His face, pale from his severe injuries, was now filled with excitement.

“Sect…Ancestor!!!”

“Swallow it, and it will heal your injuries!”

Shen Changqing flicked his finger, and a pill landed in front of Jiang Zhen. Without suspicion, the latter swallowed the pill directly.

Then…

Shen Changqing surveyed the battlefield and said calmly, “I will handle the rest.”

“Thank you, Ancestor!”

Jiang Zhen took a deep breath. Now that the elixir had taken effect, his previously somewhat collapsed physical body and soul were recovering at a visible speed.

Before Jiang Zhen could marvel at the miraculous effects of this elixir, he noticed that since Shen Changqing’s appearance, all the strange creatures seemed to be bound by an invisible force, frozen in place.

This

included the strange ancient immortal.

On the other side,

Shen Changqing looked at the strange ancient immortal, flicked his sleeve, and saw the latter’s body dissipate like sand.

This scene

shocked all the cultivators of the Heavenly Sect.

A strange creature that had reached the level of an ancient immortal was so easily annihilated on the spot.

Such strength was truly astonishing.

Many cultivators who had only recently joined the Heavenly Sect and had only heard of Shen Changqing’s reputation but had never actually witnessed his power were now even more excited.

At this moment,

after slaying this strange ancient immortal, Shen Changqing’s divine sense covered the entire Heavenly Sect battlefield. All the evil beasts, regardless of their cultivation level, were instantly annihilated by an unseen force.

The calamity of evil spirits that had nearly destroyed the Heavenly Sect was now completely resolved in less than a breath.

After resolving the Heavenly Sect’s evil spirit calamity, Shen Changqing flicked his finger, and dozens of blood avatars materialized, each possessing the strength of an Immortal Emperor.

“Go, quell all the evil spirit calamities, leave no evil beast alive!”

Shen Changqing said calmly. The dozens of avatars nodded slightly, said nothing more, and immediately tore through the void and departed.
