Terran Guardian - Chapter 3944

Chapter 3920 Stop him!

Xuanji Immortal Sect.

A massive array of immortal light rose, the atmosphere within the array heavy, while outside, a bloodthirsty aura surged, and eerie gray mist billowed, filled with an ominous presence.

“I never imagined that the calamity would erupt so violently again so soon after it subsided!”

Within the Xuanji Immortal Sect, Venerable Luo Tian’s young face was grim, his weathered eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

Twenty million years ago.

A calamity erupted in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

In that battle,

most of the Immortal Domain of Shenfeng Prefecture fell, and many Immortal Prefectures were affected. Many calamity beasts left the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm and entered the Chaos to wreak havoc.

At that time, calamity beasts also caused chaos in the Chaotic Void Sea.

However, the calamity beasts of that time were not strong, and the scale of the calamity was not as large as it is now.

The calamity beasts were suppressed by the forces of the Chaotic Void Sea shortly after their appearance, without causing much of a stir.

The reason why the Xuanji Immortal Sect obeyed the Taiyi Holy Land’s decree and assisted Shenfeng Prefecture in suppressing the evil spirit disaster was to prevent it from spreading further and threatening the Chaotic Void Sea.

However,

only a few years have passed,

and the evil spirit disaster has erupted again.

This situation naturally caught the

Xuanji Immortal Sect off guard. Beside him, Venerable Jiuyue’s expression was also very solemn: “According to the information we have gathered, this evil spirit disaster originated from Nanyuan Dao Prefecture—”

“Nanyuan Dao Prefecture?”

Venerable Luotian’s face froze, and then his expression became much more unsightly.

“You mean, Nanyuan Dao Prefecture, one of the four great immortal prefectures?” Upon hearing this,

the other powerful figures of the Xuanji Immortal Sect also felt a tightness in their hearts.

Nanyuan Dao Prefecture!

One of the four ancient immortal prefectures!

How could they not have heard of such an immortal prefecture?

But for the Xuanji Immortal Sect, Nanyuan Dao Prefecture was just a legendary existence, and the two had no connection.

After all, Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture was powerful and had many strong individuals. Not to mention Longevity Half-Saints, there were quite a few even above Half-Saint level.

Such a level of immortal prefecture was naturally beyond the reach of the Xuanji Immortal Sect.

Therefore,

no one expected

that the root of this calamity would be in Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture.

Venerable Jiu Yue said in a deep voice, “When the Heavenly Dao Battlefield opened last time, it was said that Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture was greatly weakened. Three of the four ancient immortal prefectures joined forces with the others to launch a joint attack.

That battle caused Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture to collapse and its heavens and earth to shatter, and then broke the seal of ancient times, allowing an unparalleled great evil spirit to break free and be born, ultimately triggering this calamity.

After the calamity broke out, many top experts from various immortal prefectures joined forces, intending to kill the great evil spirit to quell the disaster.

But for some reason, both sides ended up with heavy losses.

Since then, the calamity has spread completely—”

Venerable Jiu Yue’s words made the other cultivators gasp and their expressions turn to horror.

According to the other party, the danger of this calamity is far greater than they anticipated.

Compared to the calamity that struck Shenfeng Prefecture, it’s nothing.

Venerable Luo Tian took a deep breath, his tone heavy: “No wonder… this calamity is so fierce.

With the strength of Nanyuan Dao Prefecture, if it doesn’t erupt, all is well; but once it does, the scale is unimaginable.

Now, the calamity has spread to the Chaotic Void Sea. If we cannot quell it in time, the Chaotic Void Sea will fall sooner or later!”

Venerable Luo Tian’s words were not alarmist.

After all, the calamity had only recently appeared, and many forces in the Chaotic Void Sea had already been destroyed. Before Xuanji Immortal Sect could react, the calamity was already approaching the sect.

Now,

outside the sect, there

are numerous calamity beasts.

Among them are even half-saint realm beings and lurking calamity kings.

This force is only a part of the calamity in the Chaotic Void Sea.

If the situation is allowed to deteriorate further, the consequences are unimaginable.

Qingyao said in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist Luo Tian, what do you think we should do now?”

“We can’t hold out. If we defend, the number of evil beasts will only increase until we can no longer hold out.

At that point, the sect will be close to destruction.

Right now, while the evil beasts are few, we must take action first to suppress and resolve the situation, and then unite with other forces in the Chaotic Void Sea to jointly resist the evil calamity.

Otherwise—we can only ask the Ancestor to intervene!”

Venerable Luo Tian stopped there.

Asking the Ancestor to intervene!

This was a last resort.

That was the last remaining strength of the entire Xuanji Immortal Sect, a strength that could not be used unless the sect was on the verge of collapse.

If it came to that, the Xuanji Immortal Sect would have lost its greatest trump card.

Moreover—

whether that Ancestor was willing to intervene was also a question.

Ultimately,

the reason the Ancestor wasn’t intervening now was to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation.

If the Ancestor appeared, it would trigger the Heavenly Tribulation, and failing to overcome it would mean certain death.

Therefore, if it truly comes to the point of the sect’s survival, whether that patriarch would intervene for the sake of the sect’s inheritance remains uncertain.

Venerable Jiuyue looked at the demonic beasts outside the sect, a murderous intent flashing across his aged face.

“Since that’s the case, then why say more? Let’s kill all these wretches first!”

Venerable Luotian also directly ordered: “Disarm the formation! All cultivators of the sect, use all your strength to kill the demonic beasts!”

A moment after his words, the immortal light of the formation dissipated.

Numerous demonic beasts, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed towards the Xuanji Immortal Sect.

But just as these demonic beasts made their move, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted, and boundless immortal power, like an ancient divine mountain, pressed down, directly crushing many demonic beasts, their bodies exploding into blood mist, instantly perishing on the spot.

As Venerable Jiuyue made his move, Venerable Luotian leaped into the air, a single flick of his sleeve unleashing a powerful gust of wind that swept across the heavens. The hundreds of demonic beasts bearing the brunt of the attack were reduced to ashes before they could even utter a sound.

This massive commotion immediately attracted the attention of the Demon King, who was secretly overseeing the situation.

The latter’s crimson eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze towards Venerable Luotian becoming somewhat grave.

“An Eight Tribulation Half-Saint… I never imagined a chaotic force possessed such a hidden strength!”

Although the Demon King was somewhat shocked by the strength of Venerable Luo Tian, he was not afraid. With a thought, more than a dozen powerful auras suddenly erupted from the Demon King’s camp.

The next moment,

more than a dozen semi-saint demon beasts attacked fiercely, surrounding Venerable Luo Tian.

The latter’s expression was cold and stern. He grabbed at the air with his right hand, and an ancient immortal sword materialized as if from nothing.

“You mere demon beasts, how dare you be so insolent before me!” As soon as

he finished speaking,

the sword was drawn!

The ancient sword energy cleaved through the heavens, and the magnificent sword dao rules destroyed everything. Even the semi-saint demon beasts had no way to resist such power.

With one sword strike,

more than half of the more than a dozen semi-saint demon beasts were killed or wounded.

Even the remaining demon beasts that survived were all severely injured.

This scene

made the Demon King, who was hiding in the shadows, shrink his pupils sharply, and his face showed a look of horror.

“Not good!”

He never expected that Venerable Luo Tian’s strength would be so formidable, with over a dozen semi-saint beasts, the strongest of which was comparable to a sixth-tier semi-saint.

Such a force should have no problem killing an eighth-tribulation semi-saint.

However

, reality often unfolds unexpectedly.

Venerable Luo Tian annihilated more than half of the semi-saint beasts with a single sword strike.

How could such a turn of events not shock the Demon King?

After witnessing Venerable Luo Tian’s strength, he understood that he had miscalculated, and the annihilation of the Xuanji Immortal Sect was now a pipe dream.

But—

before the Demon King could make a further move, he saw Venerable Luo Tian’s gaze pierce through the void.

A terrifying chill surged from the depths of his heart, causing the Demon King’s face to turn pale with horror.

“Found you!”

Venerable Luo Tian’s expression was icy. He took a step forward, and a river of the Great Dao descended from the void beneath his feet, the supreme rules and Daoist rhymes suppressing the void. All the demon beasts that touched this power were instantly killed.

Immediately afterwards…

He then trod upon the Great Dao River, charging towards the Demon King.

From the very beginning,

Venerable Luo Tian suspected that the Demon King was secretly manipulating this calamity.

The moment he made his move, he was immediately detected by the strange fluctuations of divine sense from the combined attack of over a dozen semi-saint demon beasts.

Therefore,

Venerable Luo Tian directly used the Xuanqiong Immortal Sword to swiftly defeat the combined forces of the numerous semi-saint demon beasts, and then attacked the Demon King hiding in the shadows.

Once the Demon King was dead, the remaining demon beasts would be no threat.

After all, without the Demon King’s secret command and control, the demon beasts were nothing more than savage beasts devoid of intelligence, only knowing how to brutally kill, making them much easier to deal with.

All of this happened in an instant. Seeing Venerable Luo Tian approaching, the Demon King in the shadows immediately turned and fled.

He was not naive enough to believe that he could defeat an Eighth Tribulation Semi-Saint with his own strength.

Despite being able to command over a dozen semi-saint beasts, the King of Demons was actually far weaker than most of them.

However,

just as he made a move, a powerful and oppressive force descended, freezing space and making him feel as if he were trapped in mud.

The one who intervened

was none other than Venerable Nine Peaks.

Although the King of Demons managed to break free in the next instant, this delay allowed Luo Tian to close in.

“Stop him!!!”

The King of Demons cried out in terror, frantically channeling his divine sense to command the surrounding beasts, hoping to halt Venerable Luo Tian’s advance.

The other beasts, upon receiving the order, immediately surrounded and attacked Venerable Luo Tian.

But alas,

the latter didn’t stop, not even glancing at the surrounding beasts. The ancient sword energy erupting from the Xuanqiong Immortal Sword shattered everything, reflected in the King of Demons’ pupils.

The scent of death washed over him, and the Demon King felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. In the critical moment, he bit his tongue to force himself back to his senses, then mustered all his strength to resist.   ”

Boom—” The sword energy was unstoppable, and the Demon King screamed as half of his body was instantly severed.   In just one exchange, he was severely injured.   Venerable Luo Tian remained expressionless, giving his opponent no chance to breathe, and swung his sword again, killing the Demon King on the spot.
