Terran Guardian - Chapter 3631

Chapter 3609 Departure, Conquest of the Tianhong Universe!

Beneath the Divine Tree that Guards the Nation,

Shen Changqing finished his cup of immortal tea and placed the empty cup on the tea table.

Just as Wu Shu, who was serving him, was about to refill it, Shen Changqing raised his hand to stop him.

“No need,” he said. “After nearly a hundred years of leisurely life, it’s time for me to get moving!”

“Does Your Excellency intend to take action against the Tianhong Universe?”

Wu Shu’s expression faltered slightly upon hearing this.

He had been serving Shen Changqing almost constantly during this time.

The latter had not only shared his observations of the Upper Realm with him, but also made no secrets about the Tianhong Universe.

Shen Changqing nodded: “If the matter of the Tianhong Universe is not resolved, it will always be a hidden danger.

Now that the nine Heavenly Venerables of that universe have perished, only the Lonely Hong Great Heavenly Venerable remains, who is insignificant.

Furthermore, if we can swallow a third-tier universe, perhaps the myriad universes will also have a chance to advance—”

He

looked up at the void of the myriad universes, where the Heavenly Dao resided.

Since the myriad universes had advanced, Shen Changqing felt that his connection with them seemed to have become increasingly close.

To be precise,

it was the Heavenly Dao’s instinctive act of extending goodwill upon him.

Under these circumstances, Shen Changqing felt the suppression from the rules and order inexplicably lessen considerably.   Shen Changqing had also asked Ji Yang

about this situation .   According to the latter, those who have made great contributions to the Heavenly Dao can receive its favor.   Some can even rely on this method to merge with the Dao, transforming themselves into a universe’s Heavenly Dao, thereby wielding immense power.   However   , doing so has both advantages and disadvantages.   The advantage is that one can ascend to heaven in one step, even in a first-order universe, possessing power comparable to a half-saint.   As for the disadvantages, they are obvious.   One is completely bound to a universe; if the universe is destroyed, one will inevitably perish.   Furthermore,   one can only truly use the power of the Heavenly Dao if one remains within the universe; leaving the universe instantly reverts one to their original form.   Moreover,   once one merges with the Dao, cultivation becomes meaningless.   Only when the universe advances can one’s strength improve; daily cultivation makes progress extremely difficult.   In short…   Once one merges with the Dao, one becomes essentially the Dao of a universe.   For cultivators without hope of breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, merging with the Dao would naturally be a good thing.   After all, even with its many drawbacks, the advantage of almost achieving immortality upon merging with the Dao is undeniable.   Moreover,   even the weakest first-tier universe possesses strength comparable to a Half-Saint.   For an ordinary cultivator to merge with the Dao would be a meteoric rise.   Unfortunately,   Shen Changqing had no interest in this.   In his view, merging with the Dao would be like putting a shackle on himself.   If his aptitude was low and his comprehension extremely poor, then Shen Changqing might consider it.   But for him, breaking through to the Half-Saint realm was no problem at all, and he was even confident of reaching the Saint realm, or even the Great Saint realm.   Therefore,   why would he ruin his future by merging with the Dao?   However—   after learning about merging with the Dao, Shen Changqing did have some doubts about whether the one in the Tianhong Universe had actually reached this point.   But the specifics will only be known after seeing it for yourself.   Normally,   the probability of the other party achieving Dao integration is not high.   After all, to achieve Dao integration, one must have made immense contributions to the Heavenly Dao.   Even though Shen Changqing promoted the advancement of the universe and gained the favor of the Heavenly Dao, he is still far from achieving Dao integration.   It can be seen   that achieving Dao integration is not something everyone can do.   At this moment,   as Shen Changqing finished speaking, his figure disappeared without a trace. In the vast courtyard, only a tree and a person remained.   The jujube tree swayed in the wind, and its branches were already laden with fruit.   …   A piece of news.   Originating from the Heavenly Sect, it spread throughout all the myriad races of the heavens in an instant.   In both the Yin and Yang realms,   all forces learned of this matter.   For a time,   all races were shaken.   ”Attack the Tianhong Universe!”   ”This is a tremendous opportunity for us, and our race must not miss it!”   ”My path to becoming an ancient immortal may be just around the corner!!!”   Many races and forces rallied their cultivators, and even ancient immortal kings were extremely excited.   Tianhong Universe!   A powerful being that has advanced to the third tier.   One can only imagine the sheer amount of resources such a universe contains.   After all, even a mere advancement of the second tier of the myriad universes has given birth to countless rare and precious treasures.   In just a hundred years,   numerous opportunities have arisen in the myriad universes.   Many cultivators have obtained some of these opportunities, thus stepping into the Great Power Realm, or even breaking through to the Immortal King Realm. If   the advancement of a second-tier universe is already so remarkable, the resources of a third-tier universe are unimaginable.   Of course ,   powerful universes are often accompanied by risks.   The strength of a third-tier universe is undoubtedly stronger than most second-tier universes.   But—   there are exceptions.   The myriad universes are not ordinary second-tier universes.   From the moment the Evergreen Immortal Emperor returned, the myriad universes could no longer be measured by ordinary standards.   A hundred years ago,   the Tianhong Universe launched a massive invasion. All   nine Heavenly Venerables perished.   Almost the entire army was annihilated.   This alone is enough to demonstrate the power of the myriad universes.

To be precise, it was the sheer power of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.

Normally, such power would be enough to wipe out many second-tier universes.

But alas,

he suffered a crushing defeat in the myriad universes, almost completely annihilated.

Many powerful figures in the myriad universes now know quite a bit about the Tianhong Universe.

After all, with so many cultivators attacking the myriad universes, some inevitably fall into the hands of the myriad races.

Shen Changqing could search the souls of the Yuezhi Immortal Emperor, and other cultivators could do the same.

It’s just that different levels of status meant different levels of information.

But at least their understanding of the Tianhong Universe was thorough.

The Nine Heavenly Venerables

were basically the strongest in the Tianhong Universe.

Above the Nine Heavenly Venerables, only one mysterious Great Heavenly Venerable remained.

Although other cultivators didn’t know the extent of that Great Heavenly Venerable’s strength, they believed he might not be a match for the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.

And without the threat of that Great Heavenly Venerable, coupled with the many elites of the Tianhong Universe perishing in the myriad universes…

The threat posed by that third-tier universe has been greatly reduced.

If a battle were to occur,

the chances of victory for the myriad universes would be considerable.

Of course—

there are risks, of course.

But the question is, who would refuse an opportunity gained through such a small risk?

These third-tier universes possess abundant resources; obtaining even a portion might offer a chance to step into the Ancient Immortal realm and reach the pinnacle of the myriad universes.

Therefore,

upon hearing this news, all the races of the myriad universes mobilized simultaneously, summoning almost all of their elite warriors.

Their purpose, of course, was for the upcoming battle.

…

One year later.

Above the Ancient Continent.

Powerful figures gathered.

Countless warships and immortal vessels appeared in the void.

On the side of the Eternal Immortal Court, led by the Heavenly Emperor Gu Ling, four of the Five Emperors were prominently displayed.

Behind the Four Emperors were numerous Immortal Venerables, Star Lords, and Divine Generals, etc., with a total army of thirty million.

Outside the Eternal Immortal Court.

Heavenly Sect.

Primordial Holy Land.

Imperial Divine Clan!

The Yin-Yang Holy Land

and other top forces in both the Yin and Yang realms have almost exhausted their resources.

When cultivators from other races saw such power, they were all deeply shaken.

“The Eternal Immortal Court’s army of thirty million, each at least a Golden Immortal, is truly a grand gesture!”

Many powerful figures from various forces took a deep breath, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at the Eternal Immortal Court.

Now,

the cultivation levels in the myriad universes have been redefined, no different from the Upper Realm.

The so-called Golden Immortal

, in ten million years ago, was an existence comparable to a God-Lord.

What is a God-Lord?

They are powerful beings who stood at the pinnacle of the myriad universes.

At that time, it was questionable whether there were even a thousand God-Lords openly in the entire myriad races.

Now,

the Eternal Immortal Court alone has brought out thirty million Golden Immortals comparable to God-Lords in one go.

This would have been unimaginable ten million years ago.

Furthermore, it’s important to understand that the weakest of the 30 million-strong army are Golden Immortals, but in reality, many of them are capable of reaching the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, or even the Great Power level.

Some are even

capable of reaching the Immortal King realm.

To put it bluntly,

such a force, even without considering other powerful individuals who have broken through to the Ancient Immortal realm, would be enough to sweep across the heavens ten million years ago.

This

includes the Taixu Realm Divine Palace.

This—

is the foundation of the Eternal Immortal Court.

It can be said that

the changes over these ten million years have been astonishing for the heavens.

Of course,

besides the Eternal Immortal Court, the forces mobilized by the Heavenly Sect, the Primordial Holy Land, and other powers are also astonishing.

Especially the aura emanating from the leading Ancient Immortals like Yu Ren, which suppresses everything.

As for the Primordial Holy Land,

both Gu Qingyang and Gu Chen, the two Holy Lords, are prominently featured, especially the former, who now implicitly holds the title of the second strongest in the heavens.

He is the strongest person after the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.

Although Ji Yang was present, he was not a cultivator from the myriad universes and was therefore not included.

The remaining forces mobilized by the myriad races, while not as terrifying as the former, were still not to be underestimated. The

combined forces of all the cultivators amounted to a staggering 30 billion.

The mere aura emanating from these numerous cultivators was enough to suppress the boundless void, causing all living beings on the ancient continent to tremble.

Just then,

the void rippled slightly, and a figure in azure robes appeared as if from nothing.

The moment the figure appeared, the cultivators of all races respectfully greeted him.

“Greetings, Immortal Emperor Changqing!”

His voice reverberated through the starry sky, causing the stars to tremble.

Shen Changqing nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators of the myriad races.

Finally,

he withdrew his gaze, took a step forward, and a spatial passage opened beneath his feet by the Great Dao River.

“Let’s go!”

“Conquer the Tianhong Universe!” (End of Chapter)
