Terran Guardian - Chapter 3663

Chapter 3641 Blood Cauldron Myriad Spirits Array

Upon hearing this,

Mingxin fell silent.

To be honest,

the appearance of the Huangliang Divine Sect was indeed unexpected.

Who could have imagined that such a force would appear here, especially colluding with the demon beast clan?

Huangliang’s power could amplify the desires of cultivators to an infinite degree, making them single-mindedly want to kill the demon beasts, thus ignoring everything else.

Otherwise,

they would have been able to detect the appearance of the Blood Cauldron Myriad Spirits Formation without any clues.

However—

it was too late to regret it now.

Suppressing his thoughts, Mingxin could already feel the devouring power from the formation. The Dao aura around him was gradually dimming, and his flesh and blood seemed to be gradually melting away.

Just as Bai Lan had said, if they couldn’t break the formation, they wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.

But even so, Mingxin showed no sign of panic.

“It seems you are determined to seek death, then I will grant your wish—”

Bai Lan’s pretty face turned cold. Just as she was about to push the Blood Cauldron Myriad Spirits Formation to its limit, suddenly, a strong warning surged from the bottom of her heart.

Almost instantly, she activated her protective treasure, a powerful immortal light spreading around her.

The next instant

, the immortal light shattered, and a celestial sword pierced through her back, appearing directly in front of her chest. Looking down, Bai Lan saw the blood-stained sword tip.

Then,

sword energy erupted.

Bai Lan’s body instantly shattered into pieces.

But the life force of a half-saint was extremely tenacious; almost the instant her body shattered, flesh and blood began to grow back. In less than a breath, Bai Lan had reassembled her physical body.

Only at this moment did she truly see who had attacked her.

“Shen Changqing, the Xuan Tian Sword Master—!!!”

Bai Lan’s eyes widened in horror, her face deathly pale, her former allure completely gone.

She never expected that this Xuan Tian Sword Master would appear here.

How could Bai Lan be unfamiliar with Shen Changqing?

After all, there were only so many powerful figures in Shenfeng Prefecture, and as the so-called number one Immortal Emperor of Shenfeng Prefecture, the name of Xuan Tian Sword Master Shen Changqing was like thunder in Bai Lan’s ears.

Therefore…

The moment Bai Lan saw Shen Changqing appear, she understood that the Huangliang Divine Sect’s plan was likely doomed to fail.

Therefore—

without hesitation, Bai Lan turned to flee.

But before she could even make a move, Shen Changqing charged forward with his sword.

Facing a half-saint of the Huangliang Divine Sect, he held nothing back. A terrifying, chilling light surged from his crimson sword, unleashing the full power of a second-grade innate imperial weapon.

A supreme sword aura cleaved through the void, seemingly capable of splitting heaven and earth, dividing yin and yang, and slaying immortals and gods, slaughtering all living beings.

This power wasn’t just aimed at Bai Lan; it also engulfed the nearby Calamity.

“Boom!”

Calamity’s expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, his Daoist aura surged, and a supreme Dharma form, seemingly formed entirely of flesh and blood, appeared behind him, unleashing a powerful punch towards Shen Changqing.

At the same time…

Bai Lan flicked her sleeve, her eerie Daoist power seemingly penetrating every crevice, and seductive melodies entered Shen Changqing’s mind, as if trying to drag him into an illusion.

Unfortunately,   the

moment this power entered Shen Changqing’s sea of consciousness, before he could react, the blood-red immortal sword within his sea of consciousness trembled slightly, and an unparalleled power swept across everything. In that instant,   all the seductive melodies vanished, and   Shen Changqing’s movements didn’t falter at all; he was already clashing with the combined power of the two.   ”Boom—!!!”   Space shattered and disintegrated inch by inch. The domineering sword energy caused Bai Lan and Zaiyang to tremble violently. The immense power was almost unbearable for them, their blood and qi surging violently.   This scene   filled both Zaiyang and Bai Lan with shock.   They knew Shen Changqing was strong, but they never expected him to be this powerful.   Almost instantly, Bai Lan tried to flee.   But just as she made a move, the Calamity suddenly attacked, its flesh and blood avatar transforming into countless threads, like a giant net of flesh and blood, directly blocking Bai Lan’s path.   At the same moment, the Calamity, without looking back, headed towards the celestial chaos.   ”Calamity…you dare!!!”   Bai Lan’s face was deathly pale, her sharp voice filled with terror.   She never expected the Calamity to choose to sacrifice itself to buy Him a chance to live.   Although Bai Lan acted immediately, shattering all the flesh and blood power, she was ultimately a step too slow.   The Immortal Sword of Karma fell, its edge, a second-grade innate imperial weapon, was simply beyond the reach of a half-saint like Bai Lan.   Coupled with the Calamity’s sneak attack, Bai Lan was powerless to resist.   In a single exchange ,   Bai Lan was blasted to death on the spot.   After killing Bai Lan, Shen Changqing didn’t pause, swinging his sword again and heading towards the celestial chaos.   The void shattered, instantly revealing the figure of the Calamity that had vanished into the chaos.   The next instant, a   sword aura slashed down   . The Calamity screamed, half its body turning to ashes under the sword aura, but it didn’t even turn its head, still gritting its teeth and fleeing.   In less than a breath, the Demon King had disappeared without a trace.   ”It runs fast enough!”   Shen Changqing frowned slightly, but didn’t continue the pursuit. Instead, he looked at the Blood Cauldron Myriad Spirits Formation before him and directly struck the Blood and Flesh Ancient Cauldron with his sword.   This Blood and Flesh Ancient Cauldron was the true core of the formation.   The cauldron itself didn’t possess great power; it was only because of the entire formation’s support that those trapped within it, affected by the formation, found it difficult to threaten the Blood and Flesh Ancient Cauldron without sufficient strength.   However, Shen Changqing was outside the formation, so breaking it was easy for him.   As the Blood and Flesh Ancient Cauldron shattered, the enormous Blood Cauldron Myriad Spirits Formation also dissipated.   At this moment,   all the cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Blood Cauldron Myriad Spirits Formation hadn’t been formed for long, its power was already relentlessly eroding them. Some cultivators with lower cultivation levels had already seen their bodies rot and dissolve, losing most of their vital energy.

If the formation hadn’t been broken, they would have perished within a quarter of an hour.

Mingxin stepped forward, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Shen Changqing, his face showing relief at surviving such a calamity.

“Thanks to Fellow Daoist Shen’s intervention, otherwise we would likely have been doomed!”

This time, Mingxin was truly terrified.

If he hadn’t been cautious and had Shen Changqing stay behind to prevent the Demon King from escaping, they would likely have been doomed.

In Mingxin’s view,

if Shen Changqing had also been trapped in the formation, he might not have been able to break free. If

he couldn’t break the formation,

then their fate would have been certain death.

Or, if the Taiyi Holy Land hadn’t managed to get Shen Changqing’s help, this battle would have ended in total annihilation.

If Mingxin had previously harbored some reservations about the Holy Land’s willingness to offer a Sainthood Pill to persuade Shen Changqing to intervene,

now

he believed it was the right thing to do.

“I owe you a favor this time. If you ever need anything in the future, just ask!”

At this moment, Xiao Hanzhou stepped forward, handing Shen Changqing a communication jade talisman and speaking solemnly.

He wasn’t one to forget grudges; his earlier challenge to Shen Changqing was merely to test his strength and see if it was truly as powerful as rumored.

However,

after witnessing Shen Changqing suppress Calamity and Bai Lan single-handedly, Xiao Hanzhou abandoned that idea.

Putting aside everything else,

that Demon King alone possessed strength comparable to a Second Tribulation Half-Saint.

Shen Changqing’s ability to defeat it demonstrated his formidable power.

Even if this battle was due to Shen Changqing wielding a Second-Rank Innate Emperor Weapon, in Xiao Hanzhou’s view, divine weapons and treasures were often part of one’s strength.

Inferiority was insignificant;

there was no point in arguing.

Shen Changqing did not refuse Xiao Hanzhou’s overtures, accepting the communication jade talisman with a calm smile.

“Fellow Daoist Xiao, you’re too kind!”

At this moment,

Venerable Qingyao also stepped forward.

“Fellow Daoist Shen, the Xuanji Immortal Sect owes you a favor. This is my communication jade talisman. If you have time later, you can visit the Xuanji Immortal Sect.”

“Alright.”

Shen Changqing accepted the communication jade talisman, finding it smooth and warm to the touch.

However, his expression remained unchanged, and he casually placed it into his storage ring.

Subsequently,

Mingxin and the others took action, suppressing the remaining evil beasts in the Eastern Abyss Region.

Shen Changqing did not stand idly by. After all,

he already possessed Heavenly Dao Merit; each evil beast he slew would increase his merit, even if the increase was negligible.

But accumulated over time, it was not to be underestimated.

It was just that Shen Changqing regretted that the Evil King had escaped.

Otherwise…

He believed that slaying a half-saint level demon king would yield considerable Heavenly Dao merit.

However, there was no way around it.

The Calamity’s strength was formidable.

A demon king at the second tribulation half-saint level, if determined to escape, would be difficult to truly keep.

Unless, of course,

Shen Changqing activated the power of the Soul-Destroying Sword.

But the Soul-Destroying Sword was his trump card, and with his current strength, each activation of it resulted in a period of weakness.

During this time, his strength would plummet to rock bottom.

At any time, being weakened was a dangerous sign, and Shen Changqing naturally wouldn’t act rashly.

If his life were threatened, then there was nothing to say; he would kill his opponent even at the cost of weakening himself.

But in this situation, Shen Changqing wouldn’t easily put himself in danger.

To put it bluntly,

the cultivators like Xiao Hanzhou, who seemed to belong to the same camp, might harbor some inappropriate thoughts when he was truly weakened.

Shen Changqing always assumed the worst of such malice from cultivators. Under

these circumstances, his decision naturally aligned with his own interests.

…

Without the Demon King’s leadership, and with the other Immortal Emperor and Half-Saint realm demon beasts already slaughtered,

the remaining demon beasts in the Eastern Abyss Domain, though numerous, were no match for Shen Changqing and his group.

In less than a day, the vast Immortal Domain’s demon beasts were wiped out. (End of Chapter)
