Terran Guardian - Chapter 3623

Chapter 3601 This Universe Is Truly Weak

. The army sets off.

Numerous immortal ships traverse the chaotic void, heading towards the myriad universes.

On the leading immortal ship are Yue Zhi and his nine companions.

Daoist Mingfa, looking at the vast chaos before him, couldn’t help but sigh, “The Upper Realm is indeed blessed by Heaven. Even in this chaotic land, the concentration of immortal energy is not low.

Moreover, the Dao of Heaven and Earth is much more evident—”

Compared to his own universe, the Dao of Heaven in this chaos is far more apparent.

It’s as if in the lower universe, the three thousand Great Daos are shrouded in a thick fog. To truly comprehend their mysteries, one must dispel the layers of fog to see their true face.

Enlightenment in the Upper Realm is also obscured by a thick fog.

The difference is that

the fog in the Upper Realm is thinner, making enlightenment much easier.

This is why the number of powerful beings in the Upper Realm is often greater than in the lower realm.

It’s not only because the immortal energy in the Upper Realm is abundant, but also because the difficulty of enlightenment in the Upper Realm is lower.

Upon hearing this, other Immortal Emperors first nodded, then shook their heads.

“Yes, the Upper Realm is a true holy land for cultivation, but such holy lands are also rife with conflict.

We, on the other hand, live freely in the Tianhong Universe, comparable to the rulers of the universe—isn’t that wonderful!”

The others remained silent.

This was why they didn’t go to the Upper Realm.

As a third-tier universe, the Tianhong Universe’s cultivation environment, while not as good as the Upper Realm, was still quite good.

Furthermore,

the Upper Realm was teeming with powerful beings; even an Immortal Emperor could perish with a single misstep.

In comparison,

the Tianhong Universe was much safer.

Protected by the power of the Heavenly Dao, even a half-saint seeking immortality would find it difficult to break through the cosmic barrier.

Under these circumstances, their status was naturally revered.   Although

above them was their master,   their master had long been in seclusion, no longer involved in worldly affairs; the vast Tianhong Universe remained their domain.   Furthermore, occasionally a tiny universe might manage to advance, alerting the Tianhong Universe, which would then dispatch troops to conquer and enslave the beings within that universe.   In fact,   beneath the Tianhong Universe, there were over a dozen universes under its control.   Some of these universes were invaded by the Tianhong Universe during their advancement to the second tier, while others suffered from incomplete origins, causing problems with their cosmic barriers, which were then conquered by the Tianhong Universe. With   so many tiny universes at the Tianhong Universe’s disposal, cultivation resources were naturally plentiful.   Therefore,   naturally, no one was willing to venture to the Upper Realm.   This time, if   another tiny universe advanced   and could be captured, the Tianhong Universe could gain another second-tier universe to replenish its resources.   …   Several days later,   the immortal ship arrived outside the barrier of the myriad universes.   There, numerous malevolent beasts tore through the cosmic barrier and entered the myriad universes.   Besides them,   many ferocious beasts were also heading towards the myriad universes.   However, many of these ferocious beasts were engaged in fierce battles with the malevolent beasts, leaving large amounts of blood and remains scattered throughout the chaotic void.   Seeing this scene…   Many people’s expressions turned solemn.   ”The evil beasts… but their strength isn’t too great. Everyone, let’s clear these evil beasts out first.   Otherwise, if this universe is polluted by the evil calamity, it will be of little use to us!”   Yue Zhi said   in a deep voice. As soon as he finished speaking   , he was the first to summon a celestial sword. The sword light that reached the heavens cleaved through the chaotic void, seemingly able to divide the order of yin and yang and reshape the universe.   Many evil beasts and ferocious beasts didn’t even have time to scream before they were reduced to ashes by this one strike.   Seeing Yue Zhi take action, the Immortal Emperors like Mingfa Daoren did not hesitate at all.   To them,   this second-tier universe was already in the hands of the Tianhong Universe, and they naturally could not allow others to lay a finger on it.   Moreover,   wherever the evil beasts went,   nothing grew.   If these evil beasts were allowed to run rampant, this universe would have no life left. At that time, even if the Tianhong Universe obtained this second-tier universe, it would be of little use.   With the nine Immortal Emperors unleashing their power, a terrifying force swept across the vast expanse of void, nearly annihilating the monstrous beasts within a few moments.   The other cultivators of the Tianhong Universe were utterly shaken by this sight.   ”This is the strength of the nine Heavenly Venerables!”   ”As expected of beings who have reached the Immortal Emperor realm, such power is truly terrifying—”   For most cultivators of the Tianhong Universe, the nine Heavenly Venerables, who had suppressed the universe for billions of years, were incredibly ancient.   They were the supreme rulers of the entire Tianhong Universe, overlooking all living beings.   Such beings   rarely made a move.   Therefore,   the cultivators of the Tianhong Universe knew that the nine Heavenly Venerables were very strong, so strong that, apart from another Heavenly Venerable and the Dao Ancestor, no one could contend with them.   But just how powerful they were, only a handful truly knew.   Until now.   The nine Heavenly Venerables had made their move.   The monstrous beasts within a radius of billions of miles of void were instantly wiped out.   Such power was naturally astonishing.   Then…   Yue Zhi looked at the cosmic barrier before him and ordered, “Delay will only lead to trouble! All cultivators, follow me to suppress this universe!”   With that,   Yue Zhi stepped through the barrier and entered first.   The other eight Immortal Emperors, including Mingfa Daoist, exchanged glances and followed closely behind.   Dividing the resources of a second-tier universe allowed no room for hesitation.   Any delay might mean missing out on even a sip.   …   ”Boom!”

The void above shattered, and a terrifying aura swept across the entire Netherworld.

This commotion naturally drew the attention of all cultivators in the Netherworld.

Within the Ancient Holy Land,

Gu Chen’s face was filled with horror. This aura was far more terrifying than any opponent he had ever faced before.

Even the ferocious beast at the half-step Immortal Emperor realm before him paled in comparison.

Before such an aura, his half-step Ancient Immortal realm cultivation was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

“Supreme Elder—”

Gu Chen looked at Gu Qingyang beside him, his initial shock subsiding considerably.

Ever since Gu Qingyang had slain a half-step Immortal Emperor realm beast in a single exchange, Gu Chen had understood the immense gap between himself and this man.

Now,

a powerful figure, seemingly stronger than a half-step Immortal Emperor, had appeared, and it seemed only this person had the potential to withstand him.

“If nothing unexpected happens, a Celestial Emperor should have descended!”

Gu Qingyang narrowed his eyes, looking at the shattered sky. The powerful aura caused a slight change in his expression, but no fear appeared.

“It’s not the aura of a malevolent beast, nor a chaotic beast. It seems another Celestial Emperor has sensed the movement in the myriad universes and come here.”

As if to confirm Gu Qingyang’s words, a Taoist in a blue robe appeared in the shattered void above the Netherworld Sky.

“The Blood Moon in the Sky, this is the location of the Netherworld!”

Daoist Mingfa looked at the blood-red light before him, raising an eyebrow.

Every lower universe is divided into Yin and Yang realms.

The Yang realm is where the living reside.

The Yin realm is the destination of the dead.

The Tianhong universe has the Netherworld, and now this universe also has the Netherworld, which is naturally strange.

Then,

Daoist Mingfa’s divine sense swept out, taking in everything in the vast Netherworld.

“Dozens of Immortal Kings, but not a single Ancient Immortal… This universe is truly weak!”

Daoist Mingfa sneered, but quickly recovered.

Ultimately,

this was merely a second-tier universe undergoing advancement.

Compared to a fully completed second-tier universe, it still lagged behind.

Before such a universe completed its advancement, any cultivator who broke through to the Ancient Immortal realm had to ascend to the Upper Realm.

The absence of Ancient Immortals was normal.

The only problem

was the scarcity of Immortal Kings.

Normally, universes at this advancement stage, even without Ancient Immortals, would easily have hundreds of Immortal Kings in a single Netherworld.

Now, in Daoist Mingfa’s perception, this vast Netherworld only had a few dozen Immortal Kings, undoubtedly much weaker than other universes of the same level.

However,

in Daoist Mingfa’s view,

this might be related to the invasion of the evil beasts.

The tribulations of such universes’ advancement were extraordinary; it was normal for a large number of Immortal Kings to perish.

The thick stench of blood in the Netherworld indicated a fierce battle had recently taken place.

All signs

pointed to the accuracy of his suspicions.

Meanwhile,

other immortal ships from the Tianhong Universe appeared.

Numerous cultivators disembarked, heading towards various parts of the Netherworld without Mingfa Daoist’s prompting.

However,

just as they made their move, an extremely terrifying sword intent erupted from the Netherworld.

In an instant—

this sword intent shook the heavens.

The vast and mighty sword intent, like a raging torrent, engulfed and swept away everything. All the cultivators who sensed this aura paled in shock.

At the same time

, a figure in a green robe slowly approached. With each step, sword lotuses bloomed beneath his feet, and the power of the entire Netherworld seemed to converge on him, his heavy, abyss-like aura suppressing everything.

“Ancient Immortal!”

Mingfa Daoist’s previously calm expression changed upon seeing Gu Qingyang.

He had clearly used his divine sense to sweep across the entire Netherworld, confirming that there were no experts above the Immortal King realm.

Yet

, in the next instant, a mysterious ancient immortal appeared. How could this not shock Mingfa Daoist?

Of course—

what shocked him most was the terrifying aura emanating from Gu Qingyang.

The other party was clearly at the Ancient Immortal realm, but that aura was far more terrifying than other ancient immortals of the same realm. Even after billions of years as an Immortal Emperor, he had felt a faint but persistent threat from him.

It was hard to imagine

how a second-tier universe undergoing advancement could nurture such a powerful being.

After all,

an unfinished universe couldn’t allow ancient immortals to cultivate.

Even if a brilliant talent managed to break through to the Ancient Immortal realm, they wouldn’t have another chance to advance unless they ascended to the upper realm.
