Terran Guardian - Chapter 3654

Chapter 3632 The Master of the Mysterious Heaven Sword

Soon,

Yunxiaozi led the remaining cultivators of Yuxiao Temple away from this forbidden zone of life, heading towards the Divine Heaven Domain.

The instant they left, the forbidden zone trembled, and a strange, intensely unsettling thought emerged from its depths, seemingly trying to prevent their departure.

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing’s eyes turned cold.

“Get lost!”

“A mere remnant of a half-saint dares to be so insolent!”

He unleashed a palm strike from afar, penetrating deep into the forbidden zone, instantly unleashing a terrifying shockwave, accompanied by a mournful, inhuman wail.

Finally,

the void shattered,

and the strange thought subsided.

Just as Shen Changqing had said, the source of this forbidden zone of life was merely the remnant thought left behind by a half-saint.

This half-saint’s strength in life was extraordinary; after his demise, his remaining remnant thought was only one step away from the half-saint realm.

If an ordinary Immortal Emperor were to face him, he would naturally be no match.

But for Shen Changqing, this level of strange source was insignificant.

It was only because the forbidden zone of life had its own set of rules that eradicating it would be a waste of time; otherwise, Shen Changqing would have already wiped it out completely.

But for now, teaching that remnant half-saint’s spirit a lesson was enough.

Destroying this forbidden zone of life would be a thankless and arduous task.

“However… for a mid-level immortal domain to have a forbidden zone of life of this level is quite extraordinary.

Most cultivators who enter this place rarely come out alive,”

Shen Changqing shook his head.

If he hadn’t appeared this time, Yuxiao Temple would have been doomed.

After all, in the eyes of this remnant half-saint’s spirit, any living being entering the forbidden zone of life was food for it.

That strange curse power actually originated from this remnant half-saint’s spirit.

However, most of the time, this remnant half-saint’s spirit was in a dormant state, only being disturbed when a living being attempted to leave.

Just like now.

When the people from Yuxiao Temple tried to leave, the remnant half-saint’s spirit immediately revived.

Unfortunately, the opponent overestimated themselves and underestimated Shen Changqing’s strength.

Meanwhile,

this sudden turn of events left the Yu Xiao Temple members all pale-faced.

“Senior—”

“A mere half-saint’s remnant spirit is insufficient to cause trouble. Let’s go!”

Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, and a powerful Daoist aura teleported Yun Xiaozi and the others out of the forbidden zone.

By the time the others reacted, they were already outside the forbidden zone.

After waiting for half a day without Shen Changqing appearing,

Yun Xiaozi said, “It seems that one has already left. Let’s go; we’ll head to the Divine Heaven Domain first.”

“Yes!”

The Yu Xiao Temple members all nodded.

…

On the other side,

Shen Changqing had indeed left the forbidden zone to slay other monsters.

He wasn’t concerned too much about the Yu Xiao Temple’s affairs.

Right now, he

was still focusing on eliminating monsters from other mid-level immortal domains.

However, in the following time, Shen Changqing also discovered that many of the demonic beasts from the Immortal Realms were almost completely wiped out, with numerous bodies lying scattered everywhere, all incomplete.

In many places, there were remnants of Daoist energy from the battles.

Shen Changqing could tell at a glance that these Daoist energy remnants hadn’t been there for long.

“So, the forces of other Immortal Realms have also begun to take action, and they’re quite fast. The demonic beasts of one Immortal Realm have been wiped out so quickly.

We need to speed things up here, otherwise, with the mid-level Immortal Realm demonic beasts wiped out, we’ll have to go to other high-level Immortal Realms to kill any more—”

Thinking this, Shen Changqing didn’t waste any more time and continued towards other Immortal Realms.

Fortunately,

the demonic beasts in the later Immortal Realms didn’t have any trace of other Immortal Realm forces.

But as Shen Changqing traversed many Immortal Realms, he finally encountered other forces besieging demonic beasts.

These forces varied in strength, united by a coalition led by Immortal Emperors or those at the half-step Immortal Emperor realm, tasked with annihilating the various demonic beasts.

When Shen Changqing arrived, the two sides were still locked in fierce combat, the scene extremely intense.

He merely glanced at them before unleashing his attack, a powerful force erupting that instantly annihilated all the demonic beasts within its range.

This sudden turn of events startled the other cultivators on the battlefield.

The sudden demise of so many demonic beasts in a single exchange was completely unexpected.

But the next moment,

they saw the figure in green robes in the void.

One Immortal Emperor recognized him, his expression changing drastically as he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “This junior greets Immortal Emperor Changqing!”

“Hmm…”

Shen Changqing glanced down at him before speaking.

“I alone can handle the demonic beasts of this Immortal Realm. If you have nothing else to do, you may leave now.”

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperor was overjoyed.

“This junior thanks the Immortal Emperor!”

He was someone who avoided demonic beasts like the plague.

If it weren’t for obeying the decree of the Taiyi Holy Land, he would never have set foot in this Immortal Realm.

The price his faction had paid to deal with the demonic beasts of this Immortal Realm was considerable. The number

of cultivators who died in battle alone was no less than six figures.

Now that someone was willing to step in and suppress the demonic calamity in the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Emperor was naturally more than happy to oblige.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Shen Changqing said nothing more, took another step, and left the battlefield.

The next moment.

On the other side of the Immortal Realm, twelve immortal swords suddenly appeared, their terrifying killing intent shaking the heavens. That terrifying power made the other cultivators feel a chill run down their spines.

An ancient immortal couldn’t help but ask, “May I ask the Immortal Emperor, who was that just now?”

“The Immortal Extinction Sword Formation… the Xuan Tian Sword Master… I shouldn’t need to elaborate on his identity!”

The Immortal Emperor, no longer obsequious, stood with his hands behind his back in the void, looking at the ancient immortal who had spoken with a somewhat indifferent gaze.

Upon hearing this,

many cultivators looked puzzled, but soon some realized something, their expressions changing drastically.

“This is the Master of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect—”

“Besides him, who else could deserve the title of Xuan Tian Sword Master!”

The Immortal Emperor looked at the void again, his expression now showing more awe.

The remaining cultivators finally understood Shen Changqing’s identity, and all involuntarily gasped.

Shen Changqing of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect!

His reputation was legendary to them.

However, most cultivators had only heard of Shen Changqing’s existence, never actually witnessing him in action.

Now, having witnessed firsthand Shen Changqing’s power to annihilate all the demonic beasts on the battlefield with a single strike, and the terrifying power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, they truly understood how terrifying such a powerful figure was.

A great reputation is never undeserved.

The same thought crossed the minds of all the cultivators.

“Let’s go. Since this one has made his move, it’s no longer our place to interfere in this Immortal Realm. Even if the Taiyi Holy Land inquires later, we’ll have an explanation.”

The Immortal Emperor said this, then led the cultivators of his faction away.

Seeing this, the other cultivators also didn’t linger in this Immortal Realm.

In truth, everyone knew that the Taiyi Holy Land might not care about their small forces.

But—

better safe than sorry.

Faced with the decree of such a supreme power, no one dared disobey.

On the other side,

under the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation, numerous demonic beasts perished.

At the same time

, Shen Changqing also witnessed the departure of the other cultivators.

“Master of the Profound Heaven Sword…”

he chuckled.

To be honest

, Shen Changqing didn’t even know he had such a title.

Shaking his head, he put the matter out of his mind.

…

In the time that followed,

Shen Changqing, as usual, suppressed the demonic calamities in various Immortal Realms.

Meanwhile,

the title of Master of the Profound Heaven Sword spread far and wide. After   all,

Shen Changqing had single-handedly suppressed the calamities of hundreds of immortal realms, allowing many forces to catch their breath. As a result   , Shen Changqing’s reputation naturally rose even higher.   However,   Shen Changqing didn’t care much about these external accolades.   As another calamity of an immortal realm was suppressed, suddenly, the sky trembled, and golden light from the Great Dao abruptly descended, directly hitting Shen Changqing.   This golden light arrived so suddenly that Shen Changqing had no chance to react.   ”This is Heavenly Dao Merit—”   Shen Changqing’s mind trembled.   Merit!   He had only heard of such things, never truly seen them.   So-called merit only descended upon those who made great contributions to the Heavenly Dao.   Ordinary acts like protecting a race of beings or rescuing many cultivators didn’t actually bring any merit.   As the saying goes,   Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs!   This corresponds to the principle of the Heavenly Dao’s impartiality.   The latter action might be considered a supreme merit by some cultivators, but it’s insignificant to the Heavenly Dao.   Only those who have rendered meritorious service to the Heavenly Dao can truly receive merit.   Now, having slain numerous celestial beasts, he suddenly received Heavenly Dao merit, indicating that in the Heavenly Dao’s eyes, the calamities were a great threat, hence the merit bestowed.   However,   Shen Changqing then thought of the myriad universes.   His assistance in the universe’s advancement should also be a great meritorious act for the Heavenly Dao of the lower realms.   Yet, from beginning to end, no merit descended.   This leaves   only two possibilities.   First, the merit from the lower realm universe’s advancement wasn’t sufficient; second, in the eyes of the lower realm’s Heavenly Dao, the reward of merging with the Dao was far greater than so-called merit.   But Shen Changqing couldn’t know the specifics.   Dispelling all distracting thoughts, Shen Changqing refocused his attention on himself.   In his sea of consciousness, a dense golden light of merit condensed, radiating a magnificent and vast aura.   With just a touch of his divine sense, Shen Changqing felt a warm, soothing power spread through him, instantly sweeping away the fatigue in his soul.   At the same time   , numerous pieces of information about Heavenly Dao merit appeared in his mind.
