Terran Guardian - Chapter 3929

Chapter 3905 When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.

There are too many cultivators in the Xingdao Alliance now, and Shen Changqing doesn’t cast the Heavenly Soul Curse on every Acquired Demon God.

He only left the Heavenly Soul Curse on the first few batches of Acquired Demon Gods.

Now,

the Heavenly Soul Curse is broken,

meaning that some of those first few batches of Acquired Demon Gods have perished.

In fact,

over the years,

countless Acquired Demon Gods have fallen.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is so vast, and the strength of Acquired Demon Gods isn’t particularly strong; at most, they’re at the level of Ancient Immortals. Those who can truly seek opportunities to attain the Dao and become Immortal Emperors are few and far between.

However,

cultivators vying for power

is a common occurrence.

Ancient Immortals are among the top in the microcosm, but in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, it’s normal for them to fall unnoticed.

At this moment…

Shen Changqing involuntarily recalled the white-robed demon he had just witnessed, a strange feeling welling up from the depths of his heart. Just then, the celestial light of the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell in his sea of consciousness blazed brightly, the ancient bell’s toll cleansing his soul and suppressing all the newly resurrected eerie negative forces.

Then,

Shen Changqing closed his eyes, focusing all his efforts on sealing his memories, suppressing all recollections of seeing the white-robed demon.

After a long while, he reopened his eyes and exhaled.

“Demons like this are indeed not to be underestimated. Even if such corrupting power is barely suppressed, it could erupt at any moment.

Even if one cultivates in seclusion, inner demons can quietly fester—”

Last time he glimpsed a demon, he ultimately activated the Soul-Destroying Sword to annihilate that corrupting power.

This time,

the Soul-Destroying Sword remained still, but the power of the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell passively protected its master, suppressing the demon’s power.

However, it was obvious that

the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell was significantly weaker than the Soul-Destroying Sword.

But this was normal.

The Boundary-Stabilizing Bell is indeed a treasure of creation, but the Soul-Destroying Sword is clearly even more extraordinary. As a supreme treasure in the hands of the Lord of the Great Dao, it is no ordinary weapon.

Fortunately, the white-robed great demon did not actually appear.

What Shen Changqing saw was merely a scene transmitted back by the dying demon god.

Although that scene was corrupted by the power of the great demon, it was not as serious as witnessing a great demon firsthand.

With the power of a treasure of creation, suppressing it would not be difficult.

However,

Shen Changqing knew very well that

if that great demon appeared in the Star Luo Immortal Realm, everything would be in vain.

Even if he could escape by chance with the protection of the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell, the other cultivators of the Seven Profound Dao Sect would definitely not survive.

That kind of demonic corruption was something even an Immortal Emperor could not withstand.

This corrupting power was extremely domineering and beyond comprehension.

“However… who could have imagined that a great evil spirit lurked within the Jade Flower Immortal Realm? Fortunately, we left the Jade Flower Immortal Realm decisively back then; otherwise, with the emergence of this great evil spirit, the Seven Profound Dao Sect would not have escaped calamity!”

Shen Changqing’s eyes were solemn. Now that news from the Xingdao Alliance was gradually returning, he was clear that the location of this evil spirit calamity was the Jade Flower Immortal Realm.

Several Great Saints fought fiercely, their powerful force shattering the ancient seal and ultimately releasing the great evil spirit.

Logically speaking,

such a great evil spirit’s seal was formidable and not so easily broken.

However, those who could reach the Great Saint realm were no ordinary individuals.

It was normal for such powerful individuals to break the seal when they fought each other.

As for the fate of those Great Saints, although the Xingdao Alliance was unaware, Shen Changqing already knew.

Having personally released the great evil spirit,

how could those Great Saints have a good end?

It is undeniable that

the strength of Great Saint realm experts is indeed terrifying, but it is relative.

Before a supreme demon at least comparable to a Dao Venerable, a Great Sage is no match.

Consider this:

in the Purple Sun Immortal Realm, a demon comparable to a Dao Venerable also emerged.

But what followed was the fall of an entire immortal realm; not only Great Sages, but even Supreme Beings shed blood.

Although some Supreme Beings escaped by chance, they sowed the seeds for the later demon calamity in the Divine Sun Realm.

This demonstrates the terrifying power of such supreme demons.

A Great Sage facing one

would have no chance of survival.

“In that case, among the demons in the Jade Flower Immortal Realm, there are at least several demonic beasts comparable to Great Sages, or even demon kings—”

Shen Changqing’s eyes flickered, his fingers tapping lightly on the stone table.

The only good news now

is that the demon calamity erupted in the Southern Yuan Dao Prefecture.

It won’t be easy for such a calamity to spread.

Moreover,

the forces of the Southern Yuan Dao Prefecture will not stand idly by and allow the demon calamity to spread.

After all, once the calamity spreads, the local forces of Nanyuan Daozhou will be the first to suffer.

If Nanyuan Daozhou lets the calamity spread unchecked, it will be a Pyrrhic victory, gaining little benefit.

The biggest problem right now is how much strength Nanyuan Daozhou can retain after enduring millions of years of calamity.

Many immortal states have attacked together, resulting in countless deaths and devastation throughout Nanyuan Daozhou.

Many ancient beings have perished,

and countless lives have been lost.

Undeniably,

Nanyuan Daozhou, as one of the four great immortal states, possesses unfathomable strength, but even the deepest foundation has its limits.

This war, lasting millions of years, has almost shattered the entire Nanyuan Daozhou.

It’s hard to say how much strength such an ancient immortal state has left.

With this in mind,

Shen Changqing temporarily put aside this matter and continued to monitor the movements of Nanyuan Daozhou.

…

At the same time,

news of the calamity breaking out in Nanyuan Daozhou gradually spread.

Many forces that invaded Nanyuan Daozhou were the first to be hit when facing the calamity.

Many forces, caught off guard, were wiped out by the calamity.

Even worse…

Facing the White-Clad Demon directly resulted in the complete annihilation of one force.

Wherever the White-Clad Demon passed, the Immortal Realm was transformed into a ghost realm.

Life was wiped out.

The Demon Catastrophe erupted.

Upon hearing this news, many forces turned pale at the mention of Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture, hastily withdrawing from the Immortal Realm, fearing the calamity would affect them.

After all, the Demon Catastrophe was unfamiliar to lower-level cultivators.

But for those forces with some foundation, the words “Demon Catastrophe” were very familiar.

Even those forces that had never truly experienced a Demon Catastrophe knew its terror.

When a calamity erupted, it

would often result in the devastation of life.

At such a time, plunging headlong into Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture would be no different from courting death.

And over the past few months,

the Xingdao Alliance had received a steady stream of news. From these news reports, Shen Changqing had learned that the Demon Catastrophe in Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture had spread.

When the Demon first appeared, only the Yu Hua Immortal Realm fell.

But now,

after several months…

Dozens of immortal realms in Nanyuan Daozhou had fallen, including not only top-tier immortal realms but also supreme immortal realms.

The speed at which this calamity spread was even faster than Shen Changqing had anticipated.

This also indirectly demonstrated the terrifying strength of the white-robed great demon.

Just then,

Shen Changqing’s divine sense stirred, and a Dao Mirror appeared before him. This was the Seven Profound Dao Mirror, a treasure he had personally crafted after founding the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

He scanned it with his divine sense, and everything within the Dao Mirror appeared.

Then,

Shen Changqing’s figure vanished.

When he reappeared, he was already inside the Cangwu Palace.

At this moment,

most of the twelve peak masters were present. Upon seeing Shen Changqing’s arrival, the high-ranking members of each peak respectfully greeted him.

“Greetings, Sect Master!”

“Speak, has news arrived from Nanyuan Daozhou?”

Shen Changqing sat down on his throne and then asked.

In his view, several months had passed; such news should have reached Dongming Immortal Prefecture.

Sure enough.

As his words fell, the peak masters of each peak all wore solemn expressions. Yang Daoxu spoke first.

“The sect master originally instructed us to inquire about the situation in Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture, but unexpectedly, a calamity of evil spirits erupted there.

It is said that a supreme evil spirit has emerged in the Yu Hua Immortal Domain, causing the entire immortal domain to fall instantly.

Then the calamity spread and intensified, with dozens of immortal domains falling, further amplifying the calamity.

The latest news is that it’s not just Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture anymore; even other neighboring immortal domains are now experiencing calamities of evil spirits!”

Yang Daoxu’s tone was heavy, and the other cultivators also looked grim.

A calamity of evil spirits!

This was naturally familiar to them.

Back then, a calamity of evil spirits erupted in Shen Feng Prefecture, sweeping across most of the immortal domains, causing countless immortal domains to fall, and countless cultivators to perish.

Although the Seven Profound Dao Sect managed to survive that calamity, the number of its disciples who perished was countless.

No one wanted to experience that calamity a second time.

But now…

The outbreak of another calamity of malevolent spirits in Nanyuan Daozhou naturally reminded them of something ominous.

Moreover,

judging from the current situation,

the calamity in Nanyuan Daozhou is even more terrifying than the one in Shenfeng Daozhou.

If it were to spread to Dongming Immortal Daozhou, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Among the group, only Shen Changqing remained calm.

“A calamity of malevolent spirits… Nanyuan Daozhou is, after all, one of the four great immortal states. Although its strength has been significantly diminished by the great calamities of millions of years, its foundation is still not to be underestimated. It

is true that the malevolent spirits are spreading, but it has not yet reached the point of destroying Nanyuan Daozhou.

Besides, if the malevolent spirits were to spread further, the other immortal states adjacent to Nanyuan Daozhou would certainly be the first to react.

If any disciples of the sect are currently near Nanyuan Daozhou, they should be withdrawn first. In addition, the many worlds originally belonging to the sect should also be closely monitored.

If any traces of malevolent spirits are found, they should be suppressed immediately.

As for the rest, there is no need for us to get too involved!”

Shen Changqing said calmly.

The Seven Profound Dao Sect has developed for so many years, and it is naturally not just as simple as Taiyuan Prefecture.

Beyond the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, among the many worlds that rely on it for existence, some have submitted to the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

However, most of these worlds were conquered by the sect’s true disciples.

After all,

for a sect to grow strong, it needs abundant cultivation resources.

Although each world can contribute a small amount of resources, its stability is its advantage. Moreover, the worlds outside the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm are as numerous as the stars.   While

each world’s contribution may be small, when hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of worlds are accumulated together,   the actual resources contributed become considerable.   The Seven Profound Dao Sect will not abandon these worlds until the very last moment.   Now, the calamity of evil spirits has erupted in Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture, but this does not mean that the calamity will be confined to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.   In fact,   the spread of the calamity is like a plague.   Not only in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, but even beyond the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, in the vast chaos, there will be traces of evil spirits.   For ordinary forces, even one or two evil spirits could lead to their annihilation, or even turn a world into a dead zone.   You must understand.   The corrupting power of such calamities is beyond the resistance of ordinary cultivators.   Most worlds outside the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm are weak, with ancient immortals holding sway at best.   Some worlds don’t even have ancient immortals, ruling only by Immortal Kings.   While these worlds have numerous inhabitants, their strength is frail; even a single calamity beast could unleash a world-wide catastrophe.   Shen Changqing naturally couldn’t ignore   this .   He would guard where   necessary and take strict precautions.   However, the calamity of calamities in Nanyuan Daozhou was beyond the reach of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Shen Changqing was aware of   this .

The foundation accumulated by the Seven Profound Dao Sect over the years was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of such a calamity; it would be crushed to dust in an instant.

Upon hearing this,

the cultivators from each peak relaxed somewhat.

Indeed!

This was Dongming Immortal Continent, not Shenfeng Continent.

The foundation of the four ancient immortal continents was incomparable to that of ordinary immortal continents.

The calamity had caused Shenfeng Continent to fall into ruin, but it didn’t necessarily mean that Dongming Immortal Continent would suffer the same fate.

And most importantly,

the calamity didn’t erupt directly in Dongming Immortal Continent, but rather originated in Nanyuan Dao Continent.

Therefore,

being located in Dongming Immortal Continent significantly increased their safety.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing instructed everyone to continue monitoring external news, but he didn’t order any peaks to send cultivators to Nanyuan Dao Continent.   After

all, with the calamity raging, ordinary cultivators entering Nanyuan Dao Continent would be tantamount to suicide.   The cultivators from each peak naturally accepted the order.   …   Jidu Immortal Domain.   Within the Nine Heavens Alliance, in the Immortal Palace.   Mu Jiuxiao sat upright on his throne, looking at the figure that appeared before him, his expression indifferent.   ”The Creation Dao Venerable has come from afar, what brings you here?”   ”Alliance Leader Mu, let’s speak frankly. You surely know why I’ve come.”   The Creation Dao Venerable stood with his hands behind his back, meeting Mu Jiuxiao’s gaze. His eyes, as deep as an abyss, showed no emotion.   Hearing this,   Mu Jiuxiao remained silent for a moment before speaking.   ”That supreme demon is no ordinary being. Dealing with such a powerful demon will undoubtedly come at a great cost.   The Nine Heavens Alliance is not just mine alone; how can we risk our billions of years of accumulated foundation?”   A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Creation Dao Venerable, then he said, “Alliance Leader Mu should be aware of the problems behind this great calamity of demonic possession.   Remember, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. If Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture falls completely, how can Dong Ming Immortal Prefecture remain unscathed?   If it comes to that, and the calamity of demonic possession reaches a significant scale, it will be too late for regrets!”   Mu Jiuxiao’s expression remained unchanged as he spoke.   Seeing this,   the Creation Dao Venerable changed the subject, saying, “Of course, if the Nine Heavens Alliance is willing to help, they can name their conditions. As long as they are not too unreasonable, the Creation Holy Land will not refuse!” (End of Chapter)
