Terran Guardian - Chapter 3706

Chapter 3683 Fearless

Within a celestial mountain,

Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back.

He didn’t attack the other Immortal Emperors anymore, because the cultivators who had obtained treasures on this continent had already left, and very few remained.

Continuing the struggle

was pointless.

Shen Changqing was now waiting, waiting for a true opportunity to strike.

The Chaos Spirit Embryo!

He had to obtain it.

Currently, many Half-Saints were making their moves, but Shen Changqing didn’t recognize a single one.

Even the two Half-Saints from the Xuanji Immortal Sect were complete strangers to him.

As for Venerable Qingyao, she hadn’t shown herself since the last time.

But that was normal.

In battles of this level, a First Tribulation Half-Saint had limited effect.

The opponent was most likely lying in wait somewhere, patiently awaiting their chance.

Time passed slowly.

The tide of battle gradually turned.

Other Half-Saints were successively severely injured and forced to withdraw from the battlefield, leaving only two Ninth Tribulation Half-Saints locked in combat.

Suddenly…

One of the Nine Tribulation Half-Saints suddenly turned pale, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his aura abruptly weakening.

“Heh heh, it seems this Chaos Embryo will ultimately belong to me!”

A ferocious smile appeared on the aged face of the Medicine King Venerable. He then unleashed a palm strike, directly striking the Nine Tribulation Half-Saint.

Terrifying power erupted from his palm, sending the latter flying as if struck by lightning.

“Boom—”

In the next instant, the Medicine King Venerable took a step forward, flicking his sleeve, and immortal power and Daoist principles landed on the Chaos Immortal Light, attempting to directly seize it.

Seeing this, the other Half-Saints couldn’t help but intervene.

Seeing this,

the Medicine King Venerable showed disdain, flicking his left sleeve again, and a thick blue mist instantly spread out.

The void corroded and crumbled in an instant, and many Half-Saints’ expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly held their breath, looking at the blue mist as if it were something terrifying, wanting to avoid it at all costs.

“Careful!”

“Poisonous—”

A half-saint, caught off guard, had his right hand stained with a thick blue mist. His hand visibly rotted away, a strange poisonous gas spreading from the wound towards his entire body.

Seeing this, the man decisively severed his own arm, thus surviving.

The severed arm, within a few breaths, was completely devoured, and even his half-saint’s immortal bones couldn’t withstand the poison for long, turning to dust.

This scene

horrified the other cultivators.

Such a potent poison could kill even a half-saint.

While forcing back the other cultivators, the Medicine King Venerable was about to truly obtain the Chaos Spirit Embryo.

However,

just as his Chaos Immortal Light was about to be absorbed into his sleeve, suddenly, an unexpected warning surged from the Medicine King Venerable’s heart.

Immediately afterward,

he saw a blood-red sword light rise from the continent below, seemingly spanning countless ages, giving him no chance to react.

“Rip!”

His robes shattered.

A figure in purple robes arrived through the air, instantly seizing the chaotic immortal light.

Everything happened too fast; by the time the Medicine King Venerable reacted, the chaotic spirit embryo had already been taken.

Upon realizing what had happened, the Medicine King Venerable was instantly enraged.

“You brat, how dare you snatch food from my mouth! You’re courting death!!!”

The Medicine King Venerable could tell at a glance that Shen Changqing was only at the Immortal Emperor realm.

Although he didn’t know how the other party had managed to unleash power comparable to a half-saint, being outmaneuvered by an Immortal Emperor in front of everyone was a huge loss of face.

Moreover,

the chaotic spirit embryo was crucial.

The Medicine King Venerable could not allow any mishaps.

Therefore—

in that instant,

the Medicine King Venerable, filled with rage, unleashed a powerful palm strike. The terrifying power suppressed everything, and a dark blue-green force corroded the void, seemingly capable of devouring and dissolving everything.

Facing the full-force attack of a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint, Shen Changqing didn’t hesitate and immediately summoned the Soul-Destroying Sword.

His immortal power surged forth like a tidal wave.

An aura capable of severing countless ages revived, and an unparalleled phantom seemed to step forward, as if traversing the river of time.

The instant Shen Changqing swung his sword, this unparalleled phantom made the same move.

This sword

strike severed three thousand Great Daos!

It shattered countless ancient star rivers!

Even the power of a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint appeared weak and feeble before this attack.

An unprecedented terror surged from the heart of the Medicine King Venerable, causing the Nine Tribulation Half-Saint’s face to turn pale with horror.

Seeing the crimson sword light approaching, the Medicine King Venerable didn’t hesitate and summoned a bronze ancient cauldron, hoping to use this supreme treasure to block the power of the Soul-Destroying Sword.

“Boom—!!!!”

The moment the crimson sword light fell, the bronze ancient cauldron was cleaved in two as if made of paper. The remaining force of this attack continued, ultimately striking the Medicine King Venerable.

The latter’s expression froze, his entire body momentarily still.

Then

, a bloody gash appeared between the Medicine King Venerable’s brows, spreading downwards.

Finally,

the Medicine King Venerable’s body was split in two, all life force and soul extinguished in an instant.

With the power to unleash this sword strike, Shen Changqing didn’t look back, directly stepping into the air and leaving.

Everything

happened in the blink of an eye.

From Shen Changqing’s attack to the Medicine King Venerable’s defeat and death, to Shen Changqing’s departure, less than a few breaths had passed.

Only when the Medicine King Venerable’s blood splattered across the chaos did the other spectators finally react.

“The Medicine…the Medicine King Venerable is dead!!!” “

Hiss, a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint was instantly killed by an Immortal Emperor? How is this possible!!”

“Insane! Insane!!”

Many cultivators were utterly shocked and bewildered, completely unprepared for such a turn of events.

An ancient half-saint, at the Ninth Tribulation level, was instantly killed by a Celestial Emperor—a sight that would astound anyone.

But soon, half-saints began chasing after Shen Changqing.

They could see that his slaying of the Medicine King Venerable was entirely due to the supreme treasure he possessed.

A supreme treasure capable of instantly killing a Ninth Tribulation half-saint—even the thought of it was enough to arouse greed.

The Chaos Spirit Embryo was important,

but compared to such a treasure, it was on a completely different level.

How many years would it take for a Primal Divine Weapon to grow to this level?

To obtain such a treasure was like ascending to heaven in one step; even facing a Saint wouldn’t be a problem.

“Chase!”

Venerable Luo Tian and Venerable Jiu Yue exchanged a glance and also set off in the direction Shen Changqing had left.

…

The Void Divine Ship pierced through the air.

Shen Changqing fled towards the Chaos.

From the moment he decided to kill the Medicine King Venerable, he understood that the other half-saints would not let him leave easily.

Therefore,

before the other half-saints could react, Shen Changqing fled.

Unfortunately, the Void

Divine Boat was ultimately just an Emperor Immortal artifact.

Even with Shen Changqing’s full power, he couldn’t shake off the other half-saints.

Not long after,

the void ahead shattered.

A figure directly blocked the Void Divine Boat’s path.

The next instant,

Shen Changqing retrieved the Void Divine Boat and looked at the middle-aged cultivator before him. This was the same nine-tribulation half-saint who had fought the Medicine King Venerable.

“Junior, leave behind the Chaos Spirit Embryo and that supreme treasure, and I can guarantee you’ll leave alive!”

Li Huaizhen spoke slowly. He didn’t act rashly, because Shen Changqing’s instant kill of the Medicine King Venerable had made him wary.

The power of that sword strike was something even the Medicine King Venerable couldn’t withstand, and Li Huaizhen, also a nine-tribulation half-saint, wasn’t confident he could block it either.

Hearing this…

With a slight thought, Shen Changqing conjured a blood-red immortal sword from thin air. He gripped the hilt with his right hand, his gaze towards Li Huaizhen icy.

“The treasure is right here. If you’re confident, come and take it!”

These words

caused Li Huaizhen’s face to stiffen.

But before he could speak, the other half-saints arrived from the void.

All the cultivators focused their gazes on Shen Changqing, their greed undisguised.

No one could discern the true nature of the blood-red immortal sword.

But it was precisely because they couldn’t see through it that they understood the immense power of such a treasure.

Soon,

a cultivator couldn’t contain himself and spoke up: “Junior, leave this sword behind and hand over the Chaos Spirit Embryo, or you will perish here today!”

“That’s right, hand over the treasure to live!”

One half-saint after another spoke, their terrifying auras pressing down on Shen Changqing.

But even so, the latter remained calm. Looking at the many greedy yet wary eyes, Shen Changqing smiled.

“The treasure is right here. If you are confident in your strength, feel free to take it. But I wonder if any of you can withstand a single strike from my sword!” Upon

hearing this,

Li Huaizhen sneered, “I don’t deny that this treasure is indeed powerful, but so what?

With your current strength, I’m afraid you can no longer activate such a treasure, can you?

If you know what’s good for you, obediently hand over the treasure and you may live; otherwise, you will die!”

To this

, Shen Changqing remained fearless: “Since you are so confident, why not try and see if I can kill you!”

These words

silenced Li Huaizhen.

To be honest, he didn’t have the courage to try.

Although Li Huaizhen was certain that Shen Changqing was absolutely incapable of wielding his sword again, who could guarantee such a thing?

Most importantly, Shen Changqing remained calm and showed no sign of panic, which made Li Huaizhen even more uncertain.

Better safe than sorry.

If the other party truly had a backup plan, he would follow in the footsteps of the Medicine King Venerable.

Not only Li Huaizhen hesitated, but the other half-saints also hesitated.

The best outcome

was that Shen Changqing was bluffing.

The worst outcome was that the opponent still had the strength to fight.

If it was the former, that would be fine, but if it was the latter, whoever made the first move was destined to pave the way for others.

Having finally cultivated to this level, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves to pave the way for other cultivators?

Therefore,   as

Shen Changqing finished speaking, the scene fell into an eerie silence.   Shen Changqing was not in a hurry, but openly swallowed pills to recover his depleted immortal power.   This fearless approach made many half-saints’ brows twitch.
