Terran Guardian - Chapter 3955

Chapter 3930 Physical Body Overwhelms

“Boom!”

Shen Changqing smashed the head of a demonic beast with a single punch. More demonic beasts charged forward, their attacks landing on him, but only leaving a few white marks. They couldn’t even break through his defenses, let alone be injured.

Physical Sainthood!

His body was comparable to a Primordial Emperor Weapon.

This was no empty boast.

Under the suppression of the Great Saint’s rules, other demonic beasts that could only unleash the strength of Ancient Immortals were utterly unable to break through his defenses.

Even if some demonic beasts were exceptionally gifted, possessing powerful bodies and capable of unleashing the strength of Immortal Emperors, the result was the same.

As long as he remained under the suppression of the Great Saint’s rules, Shen Changqing feared nothing.

After all,

with his physical sainthood, he was already invincible from the start.

Even if there were other semi-saint demonic beasts lurking among them, the result would be the same.

This was why

Shen Changqing didn’t act rashly, but instead waited for the opportune moment to swiftly and decisively kill the lurking Demon King.

His purpose

was to catch his opponent off guard.

Then he would use the Great Sage Rules to deal with the other demonic beasts.

Otherwise,

Shen Changqing wasn’t confident he could single-handedly wipe out all the demonic beasts suppressing the entire secret realm.   Human strength has its limits.

Even   with his abundant resources, his power would eventually be exhausted.   Currently, relying on his physical advantage, if his power were depleted, Shen Changqing could ignore the attacks of the other demonic beasts even if he stood still.   This would make things much easier.   Of course,   this was also because there was no Demon King in command.   Otherwise,   with the Demon King secretly watching, things wouldn’t be so convenient.   …   ”Boom!!”   Rolling thunderbolts crashed down. Venerable Jinque stood in the void, the Great Dao of Longevity suppressing heaven and earth, the boundless thunder surging and powerful enough to engulf and destroy everything.   As the Supreme Elder of the Taiyi Holy Land, and a top-tier Half-Saint at the Ninth Tribulation level,   Venerable Jinque’s strength was almost top-tier among all the Ninth Tribulation Half-Saints.   There weren’t many Half-Saints who could truly suppress him.   At this moment,   Venerable Jinque unleashed his full power.   The sheer force was terrifying.   However, he faced numerous opponents: three top-tier demonic beasts at the Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint level, and five demonic beasts at the Seventh and Eighth Tribulation levels. Such a force was astonishing.   Only Venerable Jinque’s cultivation level allowed him to stabilize the situation.   If it were any other Half-Saint facing him, even Venerable Luo Tian, with his Ninth-Rank Innate Emperor Weapon, would have been utterly defeated.   However—   as many demonic kings perished, Venerable Jinque quickly sensed something amiss.   The demonic beasts were still the same, but they lacked order; their formation appeared somewhat chaotic, and their coordination was riddled with errors.   ”It seems the demonic king commanding them has encountered an accident!”   Venerable Jinque quickly grasped the reason.   This change could only have one possibility:   the demonic king had malfunctioned, causing the demonic beasts to become disordered.   Order and disorder are different.   The former is troublesome to deal with, while the latter is much easier.   A glint flashed in Venerable Jinque’s eyes. He took a step forward, his figure creating countless afterimages, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. Then   , a barrage of divine lightning struck, obscuring the vision of the numerous demonic beasts. This tactic enraged the beasts, who relentlessly attacked, destroying each afterimage, but still couldn’t locate Venerable Jinque’s true form. In the   next instant   , one of the afterimages suddenly moved, unleashing a punch that summoned the power of countless divine lightning bolts. The earth-shattering force exploded from behind the demonic beast, instantly shattering its body.   ”Boom!!!”   The body of a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint was destroyed. Although its life force wasn’t completely extinguished, it was severely injured.   Venerable Jinque naturally wouldn’t give it any chance to recover. After severely injuring the demonic beast with one punch, his subsequent attacks arrived.   Within   a few breaths, the Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint demonic beast was directly blasted to death on the spot.   Until this moment…   The other besieging semi-saint beasts, only then noticing the anomaly, all charged towards Venerable Jinque.   With a thought, the latter immediately repeated his previous tactic, conjuring countless divine lightning bolts that transformed into a world-destroying spear, piercing through the body of a ninth-tribulation semi-saint beast and pinning it to the void.   However, the other beasts seemed prepared; the moment Venerable Jinque attacked, the remaining beasts surged forward.   Seeing this,   Venerable Jinque had no choice but to abandon his sure-kill strike and instead deal with the attacks of the other beasts.   Although beasts lack intelligence and can only kill based on instinct, they are not puppets; their killing instincts are not to be underestimated.   Some techniques may work once or twice, but overuse will lose their effectiveness.   This is because the combat and killing genes in their bloodline allow them to adapt quickly.   Otherwise,   the demonic calamity wouldn’t have spread so rapidly.   Of course—   these fighting instincts are still somewhat inferior to those of true cultivators.   Without the Demon King manipulating the situation from behind, Venerable Jinque naturally found it much easier to deal with the remaining Demon Beasts.   Not to mention   , he swiftly killed one Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint Demon Beast and severely injured another, weakening the Demon Beasts’ strength and greatly reducing his own pressure.   ”Clang!” A   sword’s cry resounded through the heavens as Venerable Luotian, wielding a ninth-grade innate imperial weapon, severed the head of a Demon Beast. Then, sword energy erupted, instantly extinguishing its life force.   On the other side,   Venerable Jiuyue unleashed his full power, his fists containing terrifying might, the Great Dao of Longevity converging within him. He single-handedly suppressed three Demon Beasts of the same realm, leaving them no room for resistance.   …   As many Demon Kings perished…

The previously orderly formation maintained by the demon beasts has now become chaotic, greatly reducing the pressure on the Xuanji Immortal Sect.

This change is noticeable to any cultivator.

Previously, the demon beasts’ formation was orderly and their cooperation excellent; now they are a disorganized mess. Such an obvious change is clear to anyone with common sense.

“The Demon King is dead!”

Venerable Luo Tian realized.

He had been secretly observing the Demon King’s movements from beginning to end, but had found nothing.

Not long ago, a terrifying power erupted from the direction of the Great Sage Secret Realm, a power that made Venerable Luo Tian feel a slight unease.

Combined with the current changes in the demon beasts,

he quickly understood the key.

“It seems the one who killed the Demon King was that Xuan Tian Sword Master!”

Venerable Luo Tian glanced deeply at the direction of the Great Sage Secret Realm, his heart now at ease.

This also explained why he hadn’t been able to find the Demon King’s whereabouts.

If the opponent had been hiding in the Great Sage Secret Realm, finding his whereabouts would indeed not be easy.

The Great Sage’s Secret Realm is incomparable to ordinary secret realms. It is filled with the Daoist power of ancient Great Sages, making it extremely difficult for ordinary Half-Saints to explore such a realm.

As for the power that erupted earlier, Venerable Luo Tian was not too shocked.

In his view,

Shen Changqing possessed a vast foundation, and his trump cards were unfathomable.

It wouldn’t be surprising if the opponent were to hold back some powerful trump cards.

In any case,

the current situation—the fall of the Demon King and the chaos among the Demon Beasts—was the best outcome.   With

the Demon King dead , the remaining Demon Beasts were destined to cause little trouble.   In this battle,   the Xuanji Immortal Sect had essentially secured victory ahead of time.   The only problem was that the Demon Beasts were fearless and fought to the death.   The battle wouldn’t truly end until all the Demon Beasts were killed.   However—   Venerable Luo Tian glanced at the other battlefields in the Tribulation Crossing Realm. Even now, the number of Demon Beasts was still incalculable, with a continuous stream of them converging, seemingly capable of filling the entire Tribulation Crossing Realm.   With so many demonic beasts, how easy was it to completely annihilate them all?   …   Time passed slowly.   The slaughter in the Tribulation Realm showed no sign of stopping.   The fighting raged outside!   The fighting also raged within the Great Sage Secret Realm!   Shen Changqing couldn’t even remember how many demonic beasts he had killed. He simply kept throwing punches, each punch accompanied by the fall of a demonic beast.   Massive amounts of blood flowed, seemingly capable of submerging the entire Great Sage Secret Realm. Countless corpses piled up like mountains, only to be shattered and annihilated by absolute power. The soil beneath his feet was now covered with a thick layer of flesh.   Kill!   Kill! Kill!!   This was the only thought in Shen Changqing’s mind.   His once purple robes were now stained with blood.   One punch!   Two punches!   Three punches!   …   Shen Changqing, like a puppet, repeatedly struck, and countless demonic beasts fell.   After an unknown amount of time   , when Shen Changqing threw another punch, the demonic beasts that had been relentlessly attacking him vanished instantly.   Instinctively, he threw another punch, but it only struck air. The terrifying force shattered space, and white ripples spread outwards from the center of the punch.   ”Boom!”   A deafening roar resounded, like a great bell. Shen Changqing’s expression froze for a moment, then he reacted.   When he saw the scene before him, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.   ”Finally, it’s over!”   In Shen Changqing’s eyes, the vast mountain range was submerged in blood, countless remains of demonic beasts scattered everywhere, and not a single living demonic beast remained.   He himself stood in this mountain of corpses and sea of blood, with endless bones beneath his feet.   Although Shen Changqing had cultivated for many years and had experienced countless battles, having quelled hundreds of demonic calamities in the past and killed countless demonic beasts,   the slaughter back then was never as intense as this.   You must know that   in the past, when suppressing demonic calamities in the Immortal Realm, Shen Changqing used supreme methods and divine powers to directly annihilate them. To truly wipe out a demonic beast in an Immortal Realm was an easy matter for him.   This time was different.   Under the suppression of the Great Sage’s rules, Shen Changqing fought almost entirely with his physical body.   This kind of brutal, visceral combat, where every punch landed squarely, brought a completely different level of understanding.   Fortunately ,   his physical body was inherently invincible.   Otherwise, even with his profound inner strength, he would have struggled to survive against such a large horde of demonic beasts.
