Terran Guardian - Chapter 3913

Chapter 3889 Ancient Will

“We surrender—”

A Celestial Emperor from the Tianlan Sword Pavilion, his face filled with fear, saw that the situation was hopeless and immediately wanted to bow his head in submission.

But the moment his words fell, Zhu Rong punched him, blasting his body apart.

Surrender!

That was out of the question!

The sect leader’s original words were to exterminate them all!

Moreover,

Zhu Rong knew very well that

the Tianlan Sword Pavilion and the sect were already sworn enemies.

At this point, the other party’s surrender might not be sincere.

Rather than leaving a hidden danger, it was better to eliminate the future threat decisively.

Besides ,

a Celestial Emperor had little impact on the Seven Profound Dao Sect at present.

Therefore,

Zhu Rong had no hesitation in killing.

On the other side, Shen Changqing also made his move. Every punch he threw was accompanied by the fall of a Celestial Emperor. With

the death of the Tinglan Sword Venerable and the bloodshed of four Half-Saints, no cultivator in the Tianlan Sword Pavilion could now withstand a single blow from him.

In less than half an hour,

the Tianlan Sword Pavilion was completely defeated.

Some cultivators fought to the death, while others, seeing the dire situation, abandoned their sects and fled for their lives.

When the last cultivator fell, not a single cultivator from the Tianlan Sword Pavilion remained alive in the Tianjian Mountain Range.

“Clean up the battlefield, wipe out all resources of the Tianlan Sword Pavilion, and simultaneously search the Tianjian Mountain Range. Exterminate any remaining survivors, leaving no future trouble!”

In the Tianlan Sword Pavilion’s training ground, Shen Changqing ordered the numerous cultivators of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Finally,

glancing at the many corpses on the ground, he added,

“Bury all the bodies of the Tianlan Sword Pavilion cultivators at the same time!”

“Yes!”

Everyone readily obeyed.

Then,

Shen Changqing swept his divine sense across the Tianjian Mountain Range. Most areas were completely exposed to him, with only a few places containing restrictions that his divine sense could barely probe.

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing took a step forward and instantly appeared before a grand hall.

Looking at the hall before him, Shen Changqing could easily discern the Great Dao restrictions within.

“Break!”

Without hesitation, he unleashed a punch, attempting to shatter the power of this Great Dao restriction. Unfortunately, this punch, comparable to a Third Tribulation Half-Saint, was like a mud ox sinking into the sea when it touched the restriction—it remained completely unchanged.

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing’s expression became much more solemn.

“The restriction here is extraordinary. It seems that breaking it with brute force won’t be so easy!”

His full-force punch hadn’t even budge the restriction, demonstrating its formidable power.

Remembering that the Tianlan Sword Pavilion once had a Saint, Shen Changqing quickly understood.

A Saintly sect

naturally possesses considerable resources.

Therefore, Shen Changqing didn’t give the Listening Lan Sword Venerable any chance to react, directly using the power of the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell to forcibly suppress and kill him.

Otherwise,

if things dragged on, he wasn’t sure if the Tianlan Sword Pavilion would reveal any powerful trump cards.

Looking at the restrictions before him, Shen Changqing took a deep breath and then summoned the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell, using the power of a Creation Treasure to suppress it.

His own immortal power surged forth like a tidal wave, the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell radiating brilliant light, and all the restrictive power crumbled and disintegrated inch by inch.   As

the restrictions shattered,   a sense of weakness also arose.   Shen Changqing’s divine sense stirred slightly, and he once again stored the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell in his sea of consciousness, simultaneously consuming a pill to replenish his energy.   A moment later,   the pill was completely refined,   and his depleted immortal power was replenished.   ”With my current cultivation level, activating a Creation Treasure is ultimately unsustainable for long!”   Shen Changqing shook his head inwardly at the changes in himself.   Creation Treasures are indeed powerful, but their consumption is also astonishing.   In his previous battle with Sword Master Tinglan, he seemed to have won easily, but in reality, he had almost exhausted most of his resources.   Otherwise,   Shen Changqing would not have been able to suppress him so quickly.   At this moment,   the Great Dao restrictions were broken.   Shen Changqing stepped into the main hall.   The scene before him shifted, revealing the Immortal Stele of Longevity standing tall, its vast and unfathomable Daoist principles permeating the void, with terrifying sword intent flickering faintly.   The moment Shen Changqing entered the hall, these sword intents seemed to sense something.   The next instant,   the Immortal Stele of Longevity trembled.   All the sword intents suddenly went berserk.   Numerous forces bombarded Shen Changqing.   In that instant, Shen Changqing had no time to think, immediately summoning the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell to protect himself.   ”Dong!!”   The ancient bell trembled violently, its heavy sound resounding, shattering all the incoming sword intents inch by inch under the influence of the bell’s sound.   The Immortal Steles of Longevity shone brightly, and ancient phantoms emerged.   ”Who dares to trespass into the forbidden area of my Tianlan Sword Pavilion!”   ”Kill! Kill! Kill!!”   A dense barrage of killing cries rang out, the undying Daoist will remaining within the Immortal Stele of Longevity.   The beings who left behind the Immortal Tablets of Longevity perished countless years ago, but the Dao of such powerful beings remains undying, naturally leaving behind an innate will.   At this moment,   ancient phantoms attacked, simultaneously suppressing Shen Changqing.   Seeing this, the latter immediately summoned the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell to protect himself, and with a flick of his sleeve, the Twelve Heavens burst forth, evolving into twelve chaotic universes to suppress everything.   The two forces collided, a truly earth-shattering event.   A destructive hurricane spread outwards in all directions from the two centered on them.   Numerous Immortal Tablets of Longevity trembled violently, their once blazing immortal light dimming at a visible speed, threatening to collapse at any moment.   At the same time,   the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell trembled slightly, its immortal light flickering uncertainly.

Without hesitation, Shen Changqing refined the prepared pills to restore his strength to the greatest extent possible, while continuing to activate the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell for protection and the Twelve Heavens to counterattack.

…

“Boom!”

“Rumble!!”

Shen Changqing’s battle with the numerous Immortal Longevity Tablets continued unabated.

This great hall was made of an unknown material; even in a battle of this level, it remained undamaged.

As time passed,

the resistance of the Immortal Longevity Tablets weakened.

Finally,

a series of crisp cracking sounds rang out, and the Daoist aura and immortal light on the numerous Immortal Longevity Tablets completely dimmed. The once intact tablets were now covered with spiderweb-like cracks, as if they would shatter at any moment. Only

now

did Shen Changqing truly have time to observe the scene before him.

“Hundreds of Immortal Longevity Tablets… the Heavenly Azure Sword Pavilion’s foundation is indeed not to be underestimated!”

Each Immortal Longevity Tablet represented at least one Immortal Longevity Half-Saint.

And that’s not all.

Among them, several of the Longevity Immortal Steles possessed terrifying Daoist auras, far exceeding the mere presence of a half-saint; they had reached the level of a saint.

Undoubtedly,

this was the source of the Longevity Legacy of the Tianlan Sword Pavilion.

Simultaneously ,

it was also a forbidden area.

Without special means, even if one were to stumble in by chance, they would most likely be killed on the spot by these ancient wills.

Only after truly engaging in combat could one understand the power of these ancient wills.

To put it bluntly,

if Shen Changqing hadn’t possessed the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell for protection, suppressing these ancient wills wouldn’t have been so easy.

Fortunately—

these powerful beings had ultimately perished countless years ago, and their remaining wills were greatly weakened.

Moreover, such power was like a rootless duckweed; a battle would inevitably be difficult to sustain for long.

Otherwise, Shen Changqing would have had to employ many more methods.

Now,

many ancient wills had been obliterated, and the Longevity Immortal Steles were all damaged.

But in Shen Changqing’s view, what he saw before him was enough.

“These are at least semi-saint level inheritances. With so many immortal steles, the sect’s foundation will greatly increase, making it comparable to many ancient forces!”

He took a deep breath, his heart finally calming down.

The biggest difference between the Seven Profound Dao Sect and other ancient forces lies in the foundation accumulated over countless years.

This foundation

is not simply about cultivation resources.

Or rather, cultivation resources are only one aspect of the foundation.

The accumulation of time and the inheritances of powerful figures throughout the ages are also part of the foundation.

Now,

the Seven Profound Dao Sect has obtained numerous immortal inheritances from the Heavenly Azure Sword Pavilion, saving them billions of years of accumulation.

This is equivalent to the Seven Profound Dao Sect cultivating hundreds of immortal semi-saints; the extent of their foundation is unimaginable.

Normally,

the time required for a sect to cultivate hundreds of immortal semi-saints would be immeasurable.

Inheriting the legacy of other forces at this moment naturally saves a great deal of time.

“Even if there are no other gains this time, the inheritance of the Tianlan Sword Pavilion alone makes this trip worthwhile!”

This is the foundation of a top-tier power.

Destroying a top-tier power is no easy feat; a slight misstep can result in a heavy price, but the rewards are equally immense.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing didn’t hesitate and directly stored all the Longevity Immortal Tablets into the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

Three Saint Immortal Tablets!

One hundred and twenty Half-Saint Immortal Tablets!

A total of one hundred and twenty-three Longevity Immortal Tablets.

After confirming that nothing was missing, Shen Changqing turned and left.

However—

after leaving the main hall, Shen Changqing looked at the ancient immortal palace before him, remembering that the previous battle hadn’t damaged it in the slightest, which was enough to show that the materials of this immortal palace were extraordinary.

Therefore,

after a moment’s thought

, Shen Changqing also took action and took the ancient immortal palace with him.

…

While Shen Changqing was plundering resources, the other cultivators of the Seven Profound Dao Sect were also conducting a thorough search, practically turning the entire Tianlan Sword Pavilion upside down.

Some areas contained powerful restrictions, which Shen Changqing personally broke.

Even so

, it took the Seven Profound Dao Sect a full month to completely search the entire Tianlan Sword Pavilion.

Inside the main hall,

the sect’s high-ranking members gathered.

The twelve peak masters reported in turn on their respective peaks’ gains and losses.

While Shen Changqing outwardly remained calm, the other peak elders couldn’t help but reveal expressions of shock.

“160 billion high-grade immortal stones!”

“What a terrifying foundation the Tianlan Sword Pavilion possesses—”

160 billion high-grade immortal stones!

This was an astronomical figure.

Most importantly,

this was only the quantity of high-grade immortal stones; other treasures and resources were not included.

If all were included, the true value of those resources would be unimaginable. (End of Chapter)
