Terran Guardian - Chapter 3709

Chapter 3686 Chang Geng

Inside the Immortal Abode,

Shen Changqing had already set up numerous layers of restrictions to prevent other cultivators from spying.

Finally,

he took out the Seven Profound Divine Pagoda and stepped inside.

From the time the Yellow Millet Sect Master used his divine sense to probe, Shen Changqing vaguely understood one thing: other cultivators’ divine senses might not be able to detect the existence of the Seven Profound Divine Pagoda.   Such

a treasure could only be seen with the n*ked eye. This   made things much easier for him.   Furthermore,   the Seven Profound Divine Pagoda’s aura was restrained, appearing quite ordinary compared to the Soul-Destroying Sword.   With the Soul-Destroying Sword already exposed, the appearance of the Seven Profound Divine Pagoda, unless it displayed overwhelming power, probably wouldn’t attract much attention from cultivators. Moreover,   if   a powerful figure were to secretly spy, the Seven Profound Divine Pagoda could immediately detect their aura.   At that time,   he would have his own way of dealing with it.   It was precisely for this reason that   Shen Changqing felt comfortable taking out the Seven Profound Divine Pagoda.   Of course,   this was also unavoidable.   His injuries this time were quite severe; if he were to cultivate in seclusion normally, it would take an unknown amount of time to recover.   If he could utilize the power of the fourth layer of space, recovery would be much faster.   However—   even with a hundred times the time limit for seclusion, recovery from injuries wouldn’t be slow.   But in the current situation, Shen Changqing naturally wanted to recover to his peak as quickly as possible.   While a hundred times the time limit for seclusion was extremely fast, he still felt it was a bit slow.   Upon entering the fourth layer of space, Shen Changqing used his essence to deduce his opponents.   His targets were all at the Immortal Emperor level.   Basically, he suppressed them immediately upon their appearance.   Immediately afterward,   a beam of life-giving light descended, allowing his injuries to heal at a visible speed.   However, Shen Changqing’s injuries weren’t just physical; the backlash from the power of the rare and precious materials had also caused Dao injuries from the Dao of Creation.   The former injuries were easier to heal, but the latter were not so simple.   However,   this wasn’t a problem for Shen Changqing. If   one attempt wasn’t enough, then two.   If two weren’t enough, then three.   A single Immortal Emperor’s essence was enough to deduce his opponents ten times.   In the previous battle in the chaotic void, Shen Changqing had slain many half-saints, and his half-saint essence had exceeded three digits.   At this point, using a small amount of Immortal Emperor essence to heal his injuries was naturally a simple matter.   …   When the thirtieth Life Immortal Light descended, the few remaining Dao wounds on Shen Changqing’s body were finally fully healed.   He closed his eyes, silently sensing his current state, and then let out a long breath.   ”Finally recovered!”   The feeling of greatly diminished strength when injuries hadn’t fully healed was naturally not a pleasant experience.   Recalling the previous battle, Shen Changqing shook his head inwardly.   ”With the Soul-Destroying Sword in hand, theoretically, as long as my immortal power is inexhaustible, I can kill anyone below the Saint level.   The premise is that the opponent doesn’t have any powerful protective measures. After   all, with my current strength, the strongest I can unleash the power of the Soul-Destroying Sword is equivalent to the Saint level.   If the opponent also has Saint-level protective measures, then the Soul-Destroying Sword has no chance of achieving a decisive victory!”   But despite this,   Shen Changqing was satisfied with   the result of this battle .   Although his current cultivation level wasn’t high enough to frequently activate supreme treasures, with a large supply of rare and precious materials, he could still replicate the results of the previous battle.   Thinking of this,   Shen Changqing checked his inventory.   He still had quite a few rare and precious materials he had searched for on that continent.   However, most of these were at the Immortal Emperor level.   He had refined most of the Semi-Saint level materials, leaving only two or three.   Seeing this,   Shen Changqing took a deep breath: “No wonder they say war is not just about strength, but also about resources.   This applies to both power struggles and individual battles.   These remaining Semi-Saint level materials cannot be used lightly; I need to find a way to search for more rare and precious materials later!”   However,   high-grade materials are rare.   Those at the Semi-Saint level are even rarer.   Searching for them is naturally not easy.   Nevertheless,   looking at the extra Semi-Saint essence, Shen Changqing felt reassured.   It doesn’t matter how many rare and precious materials are used; harvesting a batch of semi-saint essence is enough to give birth to another Longevity Demon God.   Exchanging semi-saint level rare and precious materials for a true semi-saint level combatant is naturally a profitable deal.   Moreover, the Longevity Demon God’s bloodline is incredibly powerful, incomparable to ordinary semi-saints.   Thinking of this,   Shen Changqing directly used a hundred points of semi-saint essence to give birth to a Longevity Demon God in the fifth layer of space.   In the void of the fifth layer, a body a million feet tall was born, a terrifying aura of war and slaughter suddenly erupting, and the vast Daoist rhyme manifested various strange phenomena in the void.   These phenomena showed the creation of chaos and the birth of heaven and earth!   Then,   ancient stars hung in the nine heavens, and the sounds of countless beings fighting seemed to sweep across everything.   Seeing this phenomenon of a demon god’s birth, Shen Changqing’s brows furrowed slightly.   ”It seems this newly emerged Immortal Demon God is no ordinary being. Its intent to wage war and slaughter far surpasses that of any previous Immortal Demon God!”   Demon gods are inherently bloodthirsty.   Every demon god, whether at the acquired, innate, or even the later Immortal level, is imbued with an astonishing aura of slaughter upon their birth.   But—   that aura of slaughter is on a completely different level compared to the intent to wage war and slaughter before us.

Although all immortal demon gods are born with similar foundations and their strengths are not significantly different,

this murderous intent is enough to show that the immortal demon god before him is no ordinary being.

Just then,

the million-foot-tall demon god’s body suddenly transformed, and a cultivator about the same height as Shen Changqing, with a cold face, dark golden pupils, and dressed in white, appeared.

“Chang Geng greets Your Excellency!”

“Chang Geng…”

Shen Changqing looked at the other party, nodded slightly, and showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

“War and slaughter, Geng metal governs killing, you are quite good!”

Although he hadn’t truly witnessed the strength of the immortal demon god Chang Geng, Shen Changqing could glean much from the extraordinary phenomena surrounding the other’s birth. Putting aside everything

else , in terms of

sheer killing power,

the immortal demon god Chang Geng before him was far superior to any other demon god.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing moved the other party to the chaotic space of the sixth level.

He didn’t let the immortal demon god Chang Geng appear directly, but instead had him stay in the chaotic space temporarily.   The immortal demon god Chang Geng naturally had no objection

to this .   After settling the Chang Geng Demon God, Shen Changqing stepped into the first level of space.   With a thought, a chaotic immortal light appeared.   The mere appearance of this light caused the void to tremble. When Shen Changqing’s gaze fell upon the chaotic immortal light, he could see the myriad phenomena of the heavens unfolding within it.   The universe, the galaxy,   all living beings—   it all seemed to be contained within.   Seeing this, Shen Changqing’s expression turned solemn: “The Chaotic Spirit Embryo truly lives up to its reputation as a treasure born from the creation of heaven and earth; its mysteries are indeed unmatched by any other treasure.”   Even with his current level of understanding, he could hardly glimpse much of the Chaotic Spirit Embryo   ’s true nature. Before truly obtaining the Chaotic Spirit Embryo, Shen Changqing had learned of its extraordinary nature from ancient texts.   However, the descriptions in the texts were ultimately different from witnessing it firsthand.   ”However… while Chaotic Spirit Embryos are rare, if we truly consider the entire Chaos and those countless microcosms, there are probably some such treasures.   It’s just that Chaos is too vast; even those who have attained immortality are insignificant within it.   How easy is it to truly traverse the entire Chaos and find hidden Chaotic Spirit Embryos?”   Shen Changqing shook his head.   He thought of Qingyi.   Chaotic Spirit Embryos were born from the myriad universes, showing that the creation of such supreme creations is not fixed.   Any place, as long as it lies within this Chaos, has the potential to nurture a Chaotic Spirit Embryo.   Whether it’s the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, other Chaotic territories, or countless microcosms.   This also explains why many forces are keen to invade various microcosms.   The resources of a first-tier universe are actually nothing to some powerful forces.   After all, most universes at that level haven’t even been able to nurture immortal energy, let alone possess any cultivation resources.   However…   Besides conventional cultivation resources, these lower universes may still nurture other creations of heaven and earth.   The Chaos Embryo is one such example.   Who can guarantee that other lower universes don’t harbor Chaos Embryos or other creations? Obtaining even   one   would be immensely beneficial to one’s own power.   Shen Changqing could see this from the myriad universes.   Of course,   the myriad universes of today are far beyond what ordinary lower universes can compare to.   After advancing to the third rank, the Heavenly Dao undergoes a transformation; even ordinary half-saints struggle to break through the cosmic barrier. Even those fortunate enough to enter the myriad universes must endure the power of heavenly punishment.   Shaking his head,   Shen Changqing cleared his mind of distractions. Then, with a thought, a blood-red array plate with dim immortal light appeared out of thin air.   The Immortal Extinction Array Diagram!   The moment this treasure appeared, as if attracted by something, the blood-red array plate trembled slightly, emanating an instinctive desire, seemingly wanting to escape Shen Changqing’s control.   Seeing this…   Shen Changqing then directly channeled that chaotic immortal light into the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram.   In an instant,   the chaotic immortal light and the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram touched, instantly merging into each other without any obstruction, as if everything had fallen into place naturally.   The next moment,   the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram’s immortal light blazed brightly, a dense blood-red light and a terrifying killing aura erupting forth, manifesting a horrifying spectacle of a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses, with all sorts of ancient scenes unfolding before him.   From these scenes, Shen Changqing witnessed everything this treasure had experienced since its birth in the ancient times.   Many cultivators had obtained the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram and used it to wreak havoc.   The weaker ones were at the level of Immortal Kings and Ancient Immortals, while the stronger ones included Immortal Emperors and even Half-Saints.
