Terran Guardian - Chapter 3786

Chapter 3762 Changes in Strength

“It’s a pity!”

“There wasn’t time to collect the corpses of other half-saints in that battle, otherwise, I might have been able to obtain some innate bloodline power to help me temper my physical body!”

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly.

Although not all half-saints possess innate bloodlines, with so many half-saints, it wouldn’t be surprising if one or two had innate bloodlines.

However,

Shen Changqing wasn’t too disappointed.

In that situation, it was already difficult for him, a Celestial Emperor, to break through the encirclement.

To think that he could clean up the battlefield bit by bit while dealing with so many half-saints would be a pipe dream.

In any case

, Shen Changqing was satisfied with the gains from this battle.

The only regret was that the green leaf left by Jiu Ye had been used up.

But trump cards are meant to be used; if you can’t use them, they’re not trump cards at all.

Besides,

Shen Changqing was quite satisfied that a single green leaf could sever one of the Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s arms.

Although he didn’t know the Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s cultivation level, he believed the opponent was most likely an ancient supreme being.

A single green leaf.

Severing the arm of a supreme being.

How could such a feat not be satisfying?

Although Nine Leaves was very powerful, capable of suppressing a great evil spirit at the Dao Venerable level, possibly a living Chaos Ruler,

ultimately, that green leaf only carried a fraction of Nine Leaves, not Nine Leaves’ true form. For

such a treasure to be able to deal with a supreme being undoubtedly maximized its potential.

Of course,

if he could kill the Eternal Heavenly Emperor, that would be even better.

The fall of an ancient supreme being would undoubtedly yield an astonishing amount of essence.

At that time,

Shen Changqing was confident he could nurture an even stronger demon god.

It should be known that

the Immortal Demon God was not the end.

If more essence could be collected, an even more powerful demon god could be nurtured.

Judging from the Immortal Demon God’s birth as a half-saint, if an even stronger demon god were to be born, it would at least be at the saint level. It was

even

possible to nurture a demon god at the Great Saint level.

If a Great Sage Demon God truly protected him, Shen Changqing believed he could easily reach the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

However, an ancient supreme being was not so easy to kill.

“If nothing unexpected happens, Ji Yang and the others should arrive at the myriad universes soon.

A third-tier universe is enough to accommodate Immortal Emperor realm cultivators, which is sufficient for them.

Even with their innate immortal bodies, reaching the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm and then attempting to break through to the Half-Saint realm is not something that can be accomplished overnight.”

Shen Changqing sat at a stone table in his immortal mansion, his fingers lightly tapping as he pondered.

He had placed Heavenly Soul Curses on everyone, so he could detect any deaths immediately.

Now,

the Heavenly Soul Curses remained intact.

This meant everyone was temporarily safe.

This also indirectly proved that the Golden Palace Venerable had not deceived him.

When Shen Changqing placed the Heavenly Soul Curses, it wasn’t entirely to prevent traitors; it was also a way to guard against the Golden Palace Venerable.

If the other party were to secretly make a move, Shen Changqing would be able to detect it.

Although…

Even if he discovered it, he couldn’t stop it, but at least he could take revenge later.

In Shen Changqing’s view, he had done all he could

. If Ji Yang and the others really couldn’t survive, then it could only be said that it was fate, and as their master and sect leader, he would avenge them later. But as it stands, Venerable Jinque was indeed sincerely helping.

Especially the Void Breaking Talisman he gave them.

Without this talisman,

he might not have been able to leave the Divine Sun Domain so easily.

As for the myriad universes, Shen Changqing felt they were safe enough.

The chaos was vast, and

countless microcosms existed.

Unless someone knew the exact coordinates of the myriad universes, finding their existence was not an easy task.

This was why Shen Changqing had casually killed the Great Yi Immortal Emperor.

The reason was simple.

That person had appeared in the myriad universes and had met him, so Shen Changqing naturally couldn’t let him live.

Killing the Great Yi Immortal Emperor

could minimize the exposure of the myriad universes.

Although…

Normally, no one would focus their attention on a tiny universe, let alone naively believe that such a universe could threaten them.

But just in case, Shen Changqing still decided to kill it.

Of course,

this was only one reason.

The main reason was simply because it was convenient.

Among the many half-saints surrounding him were those from the Divine Sun Immortal Court. Since both sides had already broken off relations and reached a point of no return, Shen Changqing didn’t mind killing one more.

Besides,

the Great Yi Immortal Emperor had inscribed his name on the Immortal Emperor Stele, receiving the favor of Heaven’s Dao.

Killing him would be more painful for the Divine Sun Immortal Court than killing one or two ordinary half-saints, so why wouldn’t Shen Changqing do it?

…

The chaotic thoughts dissipated.

Shen Changqing refocused his attention on himself.

When he looked inward, he saw that his physical body’s blood and qi were like a galaxy of mercury, each drop containing immense power, and each immortal bone containing Dao patterns never before seen.

These Dao patterns were incredibly profound, filled with an ancient and vast aura.

As Shen Changqing slightly moved his divine sense and tried to activate the power of his physical body, he saw the immortal light of the Dao patterns on his immortal bones surge forth, and a boundless power erupted.

“This is the power of a fully-fledged immortal body!”

He felt a sense of awe as he experienced this power.

Although Shen Changqing had already activated the power of his Primordial Immortal Body during the battle in the Divine Sun Domain, that life-or-death struggle was far less effective than the calm and focused experience he had now.

That immense power was completely incomparable to his former Primordial Immortal Body.

This clearly demonstrates that,

despite both being innate immortal bodies,

the difference between minor and major completion is like heaven and earth . At

the same cultivation level,

Shen Changqing felt his current strength had at least doubled.

Previously, his strength was only equivalent to a second-stage half-saint, but now, he wasn’t sure what level he was at.

However, one thing he was certain of was

that with his immortal body at its major completion, he had become much stronger!

And

significantly stronger!

Increased strength was only one characteristic of an innate immortal body; another was its astonishing regenerative ability.

Shen Changqing reviewed his memories and had seen records of major completion immortal bodies in some ancient texts.

In short,

a major completion immortal body can be summed up in four words:

impervious to all magic!

In life-or-death battles with other cultivators, the opponent’s Dao power can be weakened to the greatest extent, making it difficult to inflict irreparable Dao injuries.

This is a characteristic of all innate immortal bodies.

Then there

‘s the astonishing recovery ability.

However,

different innate immortal bodies have different recovery abilities.

Shen Changqing didn’t know the level of his recovery ability after his Primordial Immortal Body reached its peak, but judging from the battle in the Divine Sun Domain, his recovery ability was definitely not weak.

Many injuries left by half-saints could be completely healed in less than a breath.

This alone

was enough to be astonishing.

To be honest,

although Shen Changqing was confident he could reach the top of the Immortal Emperor Stele, he wasn’t very confident that under the blessing of Heaven, his Primordial Immortal Body could truly reach its peak.

Only after the dust settled did Shen Changqing truly breathe a sigh of relief.

…

In the following time,

Shen Changqing continued to study the changes after his Primordial Immortal Body reached its peak.

First,

there was the aspect of combat power.

Shen Changqing stepped into the fourth level of the Seven Profound Divine Tower to test his own strength by deducing the strength of his opponents.

The first person to appear was Xuan Tu.

As the strongest among all the Nine Tribulation Half-Saints he had ever seen, Shen Changqing wanted to truly witness the strength of this Tianxuan Army Lord.

At the same time,

Shen Changqing also wanted to see

how big the gap was between himself and Xuan Tu.

However—

the moment Xuan Tu appeared, Shen Changqing only saw a murderous glint in his eyes, and an overwhelming ferocity transformed into the force of heaven and earth, crashing down upon him.

He had just raised his hand when a terrifying force struck him.

What Primordial Immortal Body!

What Physical Sainthood!

Before such power, they were all like paper.

His arm shattered.

His immortal body cracked and disintegrated.

Just when Shen Changqing thought he was about to perish, Xuan Tu’s figure vanished, and at the same time, a life-giving immortal light descended, allowing his tattered body to heal itself.

“Phew!”

Recalling the scene just now, Shen Changqing let out a long breath, his expression somewhat shocked.

“The Heavenly Pivot Army Commander, Xuan Tu… is indeed very strong!”

He hadn’t expected that even with his Primordial Immortal Body at its peak, facing a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint would still result in an instant kill.

However,

Shen Changqing could also keenly sense that among the many Nine Tribulation Half-Saints he had deduced, Xuan Tu was indeed the strongest, without exception.

If he didn’t have the Soul-Destroying Sword, Xuan Tu alone would have been enough to give him a hard time.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing continued to deduce other opponents.

Eight Tribulation Half-Saint, instant kill!

Seven Tribulation Half-Saint, instant kill!

Six Tribulation Half-Saint, barely struggled, then was suppressed!

Five Tribulation Half-Saint, struggled a little longer, but was still suppressed!

…

After a series of battles, Shen Changqing’s somewhat arrogant heart, fueled by his perfected Immortal Body and the glorious victory in the Divine Sun Domain battle, had now completely calmed down.

Finally,

when his opponent was a Three Tribulation Half-Saint, Shen Changqing fought with all his might, ultimately sacrificing himself to truly suppress the opponent on the spot.

Thus…

Shen Changqing had gained a clear understanding of his own strength.

“Before my Immortal Body reached its peak, my strength was at most at the level of a Second Tribulation Half-Saint. Now that my Immortal Body is fully developed, I can contend with ordinary Third Tribulation Half-Saints.

However, I probably wouldn’t be a match for some of the top experts among the Third Tribulation Half-Saints.

As for Half-Saints above the Third Tribulation level, without using the Soul-Destroying Sword, I still need to avoid their sharp edge!”

The combat power of a Third Tribulation Half-Saint!

In the Immortal Emperor realm, achieving this level was something Shen Changqing had no reason to be dissatisfied with.

However, this also indirectly showed the astonishing difference between each tribulation of a Half-Saint.

Only with a fully developed Immortal Body could one step into the Third Tribulation level; one could imagine how vast the difference in strength was between each of the nine tribulations of a Half-Saint.
