Terran Guardian - Chapter 3603

Chapter 3581 Ascension to Heaven

“As expected of a formation at the Immortal Emperor level, the immortal energy is indeed incredibly dense!”

Zhuo Wuyai’s divine sense covered the entire Sword Bright Dao Sect. The convergence of numerous immortal energies had raised the sect’s immortal energy concentration to an astonishing level.

Under such cultivation conditions, whether he could break through to the Immortal Emperor realm was another matter.

The sect’s overall strength alone would undoubtedly increase significantly.

However—

Zhuo Wuyai looked towards the direction outside the sect, where numerous obscure divine senses existed, seemingly wanting to investigate.

To this,

Zhuo Wuyai coldly snorted, and a sword intent swept out instantly, severing the divine senses secretly spying on the Sword Bright Dao Sect.

Annihilation of divine senses.

Many cultivators’ expressions changed slightly. When they looked towards the Sword Bright Dao Sect, their eyes held shock and a hint of anger.

“How dare the Sword Bright Dao Sect be so domineering!”

“Setting up such a formation to plunder immortal energy from all sides will surely threaten the foundation of our forces in the long run!”

Immortal energy could not appear out of thin air.

The increased concentration of immortal energy in the Sword Bright Dao Sect meant a decrease in immortal energy in other areas.

As a formation at the Immortal Emperor level, the Zhou Tian Gathering Yuan Formation’s method of plundering immortal energy would have even greater subsequent impact.

If the formations previously laid down by the Profound Heaven Dao Sect had made various factions dare not speak out against them, then the Sword Bright Dao Sect’s actions had thoroughly enraged these forces.

For them,

if they couldn’t afford to offend the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, surely they could afford to offend the Sword Bright Dao Sect?

Not long after,

more than a dozen ancient immortals arrived, their powerful auras pressing down from the heavens, causing the entire Sword Bright Dao Sect to tremble slightly, and the flowing immortal energy seemed to stagnate.

“Who dares to cause trouble in my Sword Bright Dao Sect!”

Zhuo Wuyai stepped out, looking at the dozen or so ancient immortals before him, his expression somewhat unfriendly.

Upon hearing this…

An ancient immortal said in a deep voice, “Sect Master Zhuo, your Sword Bright Dao Sect has openly set up such an array, sweeping through the immortal energy of all directions. This is far too domineering!”

Upon hearing this,

Zhuo Wuyai’s eyes narrowed slightly: “Then, in your opinion, what should my Sword Bright Dao Sect do?”

Under Zhuo Wuyai’s gaze, the ancient immortal trembled, as if a great terror had descended, making him instinctively want to turn and run.

But thinking that there were still more than a dozen ancient immortals on his side, he suppressed his fear and then said in a deep voice.

“The Sword Bright Dao Sect should now remove the formation and allow the immortal energy of heaven and earth to return to nature. Otherwise, if this continues, all our forces will inevitably be affected.”

“What a fine ‘return to nature’! But the immortal energy of heaven and earth is inherently ownerless. If your sects can use it, why can’t my Sword Bright Dao Sect?

If you are not satisfied, you can also set up your own spirit-gathering formation and seize the immortal energy from all sides.

As for asking my sect to remove this formation, that’s just wishful thinking!”

Zhuo Wuyai sneered, his attitude resolute, showing no intention of backing down.

This concerned the future of the entire Sword Bright Dao Sect, so how could he give in?

To truly back down

would harm the interests of the entire sect. In

fact,

Zhuo Wuyai had anticipated this situation.

After all, once such a formation was set up, it would inevitably plunder the immortal energy from all sides, and how could other forces sit idly by?

But this was something he would have to face sooner or later, so he was prepared.

Hearing Zhuo Wuyai’s forceful words, the faces of the dozen or so ancient immortals darkened.

An ancient immortal coldly said, “So, the Sword Bright Dao Sect is determined to be our enemy!”

“So what if we’re your enemy? When my Sword Bright Dao Sect was a top sect in the Divine Heaven Domain, none of you had even appeared. It seems that in recent years, our sect has been too low-key, leading you to believe that our Sword Bright Dao Sect is weak and easily bullied!”

The moment his words fell, Zhuo Wuyai’s divine sense stirred, and he directly summoned the Karma Lotus Immortal Sword.

The next instant

, a long river of sword energy covered the sky, crashing down upon the dozen or so ancient immortals.

Upon the first strike , the expressions

of the dozen or so ancient immortals changed drastically.

“Not good!”

They hurriedly tried to defend themselves, but the Karma Lotus Immortal Sword was a top-grade ancient immortal artifact, and Zhuo Wuyai’s cultivation had reached the half-step Immortal Emperor level. The

combined power was terrifying.

When the dozen or so ancient immortals went all out to withstand the descending sword, many of them trembled violently, spitting out blood, instantly injured.

Even worse, those with slightly weaker strength were caught in the sword energy, their bodies shattered in half.

Seeing this,

the ancient immortals were all horrified, their previous arrogance completely gone.

“Sect Master Zhuo, this is all a misunderstanding!”

one ancient immortal hurriedly cried out, seeing Zhuo Wuyai about to attack again, before turning and fleeing without looking back.

The other ancient immortals scattered like birds and beasts at this sight.

One second

they were arrogant, the next they were fleeing in disarray.

Such a change seemed somewhat comical.

But to the other cultivators secretly watching, it was a shocking display of Zhuo Wuyai’s strength.

These dozen or so ancient immortals, the weakest being at the mid-level of ancient immortals, and the strongest at the peak of ancient immortality.

Even so,

so many ancient immortals combined couldn’t withstand a single sword strike from Zhuo Wuyai.

This showed just how powerful he had become.

Although Zhuo Wuyai hasn’t truly reached the Immortal Emperor realm yet, the problem is that even with the current concentration of powerful figures in the Divine Heaven Domain, how many Immortal Emperors actually exist?

Ultimately

, Immortal Emperors are rare, always just a small minority. Furthermore,

while the Sword Bright Dao Sect isn’t an Immortal Emperor sect, it’s backed by the Profound Heaven Dao Sect. Other Immortal Emperors wouldn’t dare target the Sword Bright Dao Sect without a reason.

After all, offending the Sword Bright Dao Sect isn’t a big deal, but provoking the Profound Heaven Dao Sect would be a real problem.

In reality,

despite the large number of outside cultivators gathered in the Divine Heaven Domain, no one dares to recklessly attack the local forces of this Immortal Domain. The mere mention of

the Profound Heaven Dao Sect is enough to make these powerful figures hesitate.

Meanwhile…

Zhuo Wuyai watched the departing ancient immortals without giving chase.

The forces behind these ancient immortals were all formidable. While the Sword Bright Dao Sect wasn’t afraid of a single force, a combined attack would be a considerable problem.

His own intervention to repel these ancient immortals served as a

demonstration of the Sword Bright Dao Sect’s strength. These forces wouldn’t fight to the death over a mere array of immortal energy.

Such matters

were best left unresolved.

However, killing several ancient immortals would be a different story.

Moreover, for Zhuo Wuyai, the most important thing now was to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm; everything else could be put aside for the time being. Creating unnecessary

complications

was pointless.

—Shen   Changqing observed

the Sword Bright Dao Sect’s movements.   When he saw Zhuo Wuyai suppress over a dozen ancient immortals with a single sword strike, his expression remained calm.   After all, Zhuo Wuyai’s strength was already considerable, and with a treasure like the Karmic Lotus Immortal Sword, dealing with ordinary ancient immortals was no problem.   Seeing the other ancient immortals depart, Shen Changqing withdrew his gaze and looked towards Dan Peak.   Just now,   a familiar aura appeared out of thin air there, and a large amount of immortal energy converged towards Dan Peak.   ”Immortal energy infusion!”   ”It seems another old friend has ascended!”   Shen Changqing took a step forward, and in the next instant, he appeared on Dan Peak.   On the ascension altar, a figure stood there, with a large amount of immortal energy converging towards him. The powerful Daoist aura and blood energy permeated all directions, as if the phantom of a giant beast devouring the sky was being born from the void.   Such a commotion attracted the attention of many cultivators.   However, when they saw that it was Dan Peak, many powerful figures from the Xuan Tian Dao Sect quickly regained their composure.   ”Dan Peak direction, immortal energy infusion, if I’m not mistaken, another cultivator from that microcosm has ascended!”   ”Judging from his aura, the ascensionist this time is not weak, and seems to be a demon cultivator—”   Inside the sect’s forbidden area, Yang Daoxu looked towards Dan Peak, his expression slightly shifting.   The demon race!   If it were millions of years ago, and a demon ascended to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, he would have immediately suppressed it.   After all, at that time, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, as a human power, was irreconcilably opposed to the demon race.   Although the Xuan Tian Dao Sect and the demon race didn’t have any deep-seated hatred, the conflict between the two races had a long history, and many forces were secretly watching the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.   If the Xuan Tian Dao Sect had any connections with the demon race, it would be easy for other forces to seize the opportunity to target them.   But now it’s different.   The Xuan Tian Dao Sect suppresses several immortal realms, and some of these immortal realms are inhabited by demons.   Furthermore ,   Yang Daoxu has now discovered that the so-called war between the two races is ultimately just a struggle for interests among various forces.   Lower-level forces are influenced by higher-level forces and have no choice but to follow the tide.   But the strength of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect is now vastly different, and it no longer needs to be manipulated by other forces.   In recent years,   let alone the presence of demons in its immortal realms…   Even among the many cultivators who joined the sect, there were non-human prodigies.   The ocean   is vast because it embraces all rivers!   Therefore,   now that a demon immortal has ascended, Yang Daoxu has turned a blind eye, not intending to interfere too much.   Not only Yang Daoxu,   but the other peak experts also didn’t find it strange when they saw the aura of the demon immortal.   Demons!   Not uncommon in the Xuan Tian Dao Sect now.   Even the sect master’s personal disciples weren’t all human cultivators.   Among the nine peaks, there were also true disciples from the demon race.   …   On the other side.   At this moment, as the immortal energy dissipated,   all the strange phenomena of heaven and earth subsided.   The cultivator on the ascension altar, seeing the person before him, was stunned for a moment, then revealed great joy.   ”Sect Master!”   ”Elder Batian, it’s been a long time!”   Shen Changqing smiled; the person who ascended this time was none other than Batian Divine Lord.   To be honest, Shen Changqing wasn’t surprised by this ascension.   After all, the Overlord God had been at the half-step Ancient Immortal Realm for many years, and given his extraordinary bloodline and aptitude, it was only natural that he would one day break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm and ascend to the Upper Realm.   But soon,   Shen Changqing looked at the Overlord God’s blood-stained robes and the lingering aura, and the smile on his face vanished.
