Terran Guardian - Chapter 3971

Chapter 3946 This is the Sect Master’s Strength

Having achieved mastery of the first level of the Sainthood Scripture,

Shen Changqing remained in seclusion, continuing his cultivation of the next level of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture.

However,

the second level was far more difficult than the first.

After millions of years of arduous cultivation in the first level, Shen Changqing remained stuck outside the second level, unable to truly grasp its essence.   He had anticipated

this outcome.   The Sainthood Scripture of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture had nine levels, each a step towards enlightenment.   The first level was the easiest because Shen Changqing had already achieved physical sainthood, yet even so, it took him over ten million years to truly master it.   Now,   he had no advantage in the second level.   A million years without even a grasp of it was   entirely within Shen Changqing’s expectations.   However, while a   million years seemed long, it was only a mere ten thousand years in the outside world.   How much longer would that take?   The Demon God’s Dao Mirror trembled.   Shen Changqing scanned it with his divine sense, a smile immediately appearing on his face.   ”The Chaos Divine Elephant!”   For over 100,000 years since his seclusion, the cultivators of the vast Taiyuan Prefecture and the Xingdao Alliance have been searching for the whereabouts of the Half-Saint Realm Chaos Divine Elephant.   Unfortunately,   while ordinary Chaos Divine Elephants are common, Half-Saint Realm Chaos Divine Elephants are rare.   To date,   Shen Changqing has only obtained information on three Half-Saint Realm Chaos Divine Elephants.   However, one of the three Chaos Divine Elephants had vanished by the time he arrived, and the other two had been devoured by the demonic beasts.   By the time Shen Changqing arrived, only skeletons remained of the two Half-Saint Realm Chaos Divine Elephants.   After all, flesh and blood hold immense allure for demonic beasts.   The energy contained in the flesh and blood of a Half-Saint Realm Chaos Beast is even more astonishing, making its allure unimaginable.   The demonic calamity and chaos   have never subsided.   While the Half-Saint Realm Chaos Divine Elephants are undoubtedly powerful, they cannot escape death when faced with a large horde of demonic beasts.   Now,   this is news of the fourth Chaos Divine Elephant.   Shen Changqing dared not delay.   With the aid of the Chaos Saint Bone Pill, the cultivation effect would be greatly enhanced.   Currently , the cultivation of the second level of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture’s Sainthood Chapter was extremely difficult,   requiring millions of years of arduous practice without even a basic grasp. With the help of the Chaos Saint Bone Pill ,   Shen Changqing was confident that he could reach the entry stage of the second level of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture’s Sainthood Chapter in the shortest possible time.   Once he reached that level,   his physical strength would truly be able to contend with a Second Tribulation Half-Saint.   With a thought, Shen Changqing’s figure disappeared into the void.   Almost simultaneously, he appeared within the Cangyun Immortal Mansion. Looking at the Seven Profound Divine Tower before him, he slightly moved his divine sense, and the enormous divine tower entered his sea of consciousness.   Then,   Shen Changqing looked at the Soul-Destroying Sword, flicked his sleeve, and simultaneously stored the Soul-Destroying Sword into his inner universe.   Since he was leaving the sect, the Soul-Destroying Sword naturally had to be carried with him.   This time, Shen Changqing left without disturbing anyone.   Half a month later, he stepped into a starry sky.   Soon after, a figure appeared.   ”Tian Sha greets the Sect Master!”   ”No need for formalities.”   Shen Changqing looked at the somewhat unfamiliar yet familiar figure before him, a faint smile appearing on his face.   Now, the Xingdao Alliance was powerful, with numerous Acquired Demon Gods, among whom those who truly ascended from the lower realms were extremely rare.   Tian Sha Demon God!   was one of them.   However, compared to before, Tian Sha Demon God’s cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, stepping into the Immortal Emperor realm with his Acquired Demon God body.   Although the Xingdao Alliance had many Acquired Demon Gods now, only a handful could truly reach the Immortal Emperor realm.   Shen Changqing rarely paid attention to the movements of the Xingdao Alliance’s Acquired Demon Gods, merely using this force to gather intelligence.   To be honest, seeing Tian Sha Demon God enter the Immortal Emperor realm, Shen Changqing was somewhat surprised.   ”You haven’t slacked off in your cultivation these past years, reaching the Immortal Emperor realm. Among the many acquired demon gods of the Xingdao Alliance, you are considered a top-tier existence!”   ”This subordinate’s cultivation is insignificant and unworthy of the Sect Master’s praise!”   The Heavenly Slaughter Demon God replied humbly, without a trace of arrogance.   He was intimately familiar with the Sect Master’s strength and reputation.   His own so-called Immortal Emperor realm cultivation was utterly insignificant before this master.   However,   as the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God’s voice faded, Shen Changqing looked towards the depths of the starry sky, where he could already sense the aura of the Chaos Divine Elephant.   ”Wait here for me for a moment.”   ”Yes!”   The Heavenly Slaughter Demon God respectfully accepted the order.   Then,   without further ado, Shen Changqing took a step forward, his figure vanishing from the spot.   …   “Boom—”   The instant Shen Changqing’s figure completely faded away, a terrifying aura erupted from the depths of the starry sky. The earth-shattering shockwave shattered layers of space, and a colossal body seemingly surrounded by a galaxy appeared from within it.   But the next instant,   the shattered space turned into turbulent currents.   That body also vanished.   The Heavenly Slaughter Demon God looked at the void before him, feeling the earth-shattering aura, his face filled with horror.   “Such powerful strength!”   “This is the sect master’s strength—”   Although the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God had long heard of Shen Changqing’s reputation and achievements, only when he truly felt this majestic aura, like the might of heaven, did he realize just how vast the gap was between himself and such a being.   If he could barely keep up with him when he first entered the Upper Realm,   then now,   he didn’t even have the right to look up to him.

Faced with such terrifying aura, the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor seemed laughable.

The Heavenly Slaughter Demon God had no doubt that if he had gotten any closer, he would have been instantly killed by the aftershocks of the battle.

With this thought in mind,

the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God wisely retreated another million miles, fearing that the shockwaves from the battle would affect him.

After all, with his current cultivation, he was not qualified to withstand such aftershocks.

Not long after the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God retreated, the space where he had been standing shattered.

The void collapsed!

Stars were annihilated!

“…”

Looking at that destructive power, the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God was speechless for a moment.

So close!

Just a tiny bit more!

If he had been even a fraction slower, under the influence of such power, although he wouldn’t have perished, he would have certainly been severely injured.

Thinking of this,

the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God still felt unsafe and immediately retreated another three million miles.

Only when he was certain that this location would be unaffected by any aftershocks did he finally feel relieved.

Even so, the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God remained vigilant, constantly monitoring the battle deep within the starry sky. If anything seemed amiss, he would immediately leave.

This amiss, of

course, referred to the expansion of the battlefield.

As for whether Shen Changqing could suppress the Chaos Divine Elephant, to be honest, the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God had no doubts.

After all, no matter how strong the Chaos Divine Elephant was, in his view, it couldn’t possibly be a match for that sect master.   The Heavenly Slaughter Demon God had blind faith

in Shen Changqing .   Or rather,   all acquired demon gods had absolute faith in Shen Changqing.   After all, acquired demon gods were born from the Seven Profound Divine Tower, and the other party was the master of the Seven Profound Divine Tower; their relationship was extraordinary.   While the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God kept a close eye on the battlefield, the fluctuations in the aura deep within the starry sky grew increasingly intense.   Half an hour later,   a furious roar resounded, like a beast reaching its end. From this roar, the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God could hear the unwillingness and sorrow within it.   Then,   the sound abruptly ceased.   All the battle auras suddenly subsided and dissipated.   Before the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God could think too much, the space before him tore open, and Shen Changqing stepped out. His purple Daoist robe was stained with a few drops of blood, but otherwise, there were no other traces.   ”Sect Master!”   Upon seeing Shen Changqing appear, the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God felt a sense of relief and immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.   ”You did a good job!”   Shen Changqing smiled faintly, his eyes filled with satisfaction as he looked at the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God.   The Chaos Divine Elephant was quite powerful, having already stepped into the Third Tribulation level.   The Heavenly Slaughter Demon God’s ability to secretly watch over it with his Immortal Emperor cultivation and wait for his arrival was a significant achievement.   Upon hearing this, the latter bowed his head respectfully and said, “This is what I should do. I just wonder if the Chaos Divine Elephant has already been dealt with by the Sect Master?”   ”Just a beast. Although it has entered the Third Tribulation level, it can’t cause much trouble.”   Shen Changqing said casually, not paying much attention to the Third Tribulation Half-Saint level Chaos Divine Elephant.   This wasn’t arrogance on his part; it was simply the truth.   If he were to use all his abilities, Shen Changqing could easily kill not only a Chaos Elephant at the Third Tribulation Half-Saint Realm, but even one at the Sixth Tribulation Half-Saint Realm.   However, cultivation for Chaos Beasts is extremely difficult. For a beast of Chaos Elephant’s level, even breaking through to the Half-Saint Realm is extremely rare.   Reaching the Third Tribulation Half-Saint Realm is even rarer.   As for higher-level Chaos Elephants, even if they truly exist in the Chaos, finding them would be incredibly difficult.   ”You have rendered a great service this time. Would you be willing to leave with me?”   ”This subordinate will naturally obey the Sect Master’s arrangements!”   The Heavenly Slaughter Demon God’s face lit up with joy, and he naturally didn’t refuse.   He was joking.   Following this person was the greatest opportunity.   For so many years, the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God had traveled the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm as a rogue cultivator, naturally understanding the dangers and difficulties involved.   Only he knew the price he had paid to reach the Immortal Emperor Realm.   Of course,   being a rogue cultivator had its advantages and disadvantages.   But for now, being able to stay by Shen Changqing’s side, the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God would never make a second choice.   Seeing that the other party agreed, Shen Changqing didn’t say much. He simply moved his divine sense, and a powerful force enveloped both him and the Heavenly Slaughter Demon God.   Then,   the two figures disappeared into the void.   Not long after they left, other powerful figures who had sensed the fluctuations of the battle arrived one after another.   Looking at the shattered space and the remaining aura of the Great Dao, many powerful figures had solemn expressions.   ”The aura of the Chaos Divine Elephant… it’s at least at the Third Tribulation level!”   ”In less than half an hour, a Chaos Divine Elephant at the Third Tribulation Half-Saint level was suppressed. The powerful figure who made the move is at least at the Sixth Tribulation or even Seventh Tribulation Half-Saint level!”   ”It seems that another ancient being has been born—” (End of this chapter)
