Terran Guardian - Chapter 3812

Chapter 3788 Comparable to a Ninth-Rank Innate Emperor Weapon

Slaying the Middle-Aged Daoist.

Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, collecting all the fragments of the Twelve Heavens, along with several fragments of the Longevity Immortal Stele.

Then,

he and Ji Kong drifted away.

From beginning to end,

not a single cultivator intervened.

Not even a powerful figure from the Heavens Alliance showed up.

Just like that,

under the watchful eyes of all the cultivators, Shen Changqing and Ji Kong left the Burial Immortal Continent.

After a long while

, a cultivator exhaled a breath of turbid air, his face filled with shock: “The Heavens Alliance’s patriarch has fallen! It’s rumored that this person’s cultivation reached the Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint realm, making him a top expert in the entire Burial Immortal Continent.

The Twelve Heavens are supreme treasures, stained with countless lives of immortality.

What is this person’s background, and how can his strength be so terrifying!”

If slaying the Taiyun Alliance leader, Sikong Chen, was enough to shock people…

The fall of the Ancestor of the Heavenly Alliance was enough to shake the entire Myriad Immortal Domain.

After all,

the latter was a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint.

In this era where immortality is so rare, a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint is a figure of great importance even in other immortal states.

Not to mention in a place like the Burial Immortal State, even ordinary Half-Saints hold extremely high status.

A Nine Tribulation Half-Saint is an unparalleled existence.

As for Saints—

although it is unknown whether there are any Saints lurking in the Burial Immortal State, at least on the surface, there are no Saints in the Burial Immortal State.

Before the Ancient Calamity, the most prestigious figures in the Burial Immortal State, let alone Saints, even Great Saints existed.

But since the Ancient Calamity, most of the immortal veins in the Burial Immortal State were destroyed, and life was almost wiped out.

The former powerhouses either perished in the calamity or abandoned the Burial Immortal State, causing its strength to plummet to rock bottom.

It was no longer comparable to other intact immortal states, and even compared to some other immortal domains, it was far inferior.

Now…

Shen Changqing could even kill a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint; if other Half-Saints were to intervene, the outcome would be similar.

Therefore, other cultivators naturally wouldn’t seek death.

…

“The turmoil in the Myriad Immortal Domain is bound to intensify; I wonder who will have the last laugh!”

An ancient being sighed, looking towards a certain direction in the void, his gaze unconsciously becoming solemn.

That direction

was where the All-Heavens Alliance was located.

Like the Taiyun Alliance, the All-Heavens Alliance was a top-tier power in the Burial Immortal Continent, with the former being significantly stronger than the latter.

After all, the All-Heavens Alliance had a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint, while the latter did not.

However, the problem was

that the All-Heavens Alliance’s only Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint had fallen, severely weakening its power.

This would inevitably lead to subsequent turmoil.

Even ordinary forces weakened significantly would be coveted by other forces, let alone the All-Heavens Alliance.

It should be known

that the All-Heavens Alliance, relying on its overwhelming strength, had acted arrogantly and domineeringly in the Myriad Immortal Domain for many years, destroying countless forces and offending numerous powerful cultivators.

In the past, the All-Heavens Alliance was at its peak, and naturally no one dared to offend it. But now that a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint level ancestor had fallen, things were different.

Sure enough,

just as the other cultivators finished thinking this, a terrifying aura erupted from the void.

The next instant ,

another terrifying aura suddenly rose, accompanied by an angry roar.

“Who dares to offend my All-Heavens Alliance?!”

“Your All-Heavens Alliance has acted perversely, and now the cycle of cause and effect has come to pass; you deserve to be destroyed!”

A powerful figure spoke in a chilling tone, as if his words were a pronouncement of the All-Heavens Alliance’s crimes. Immediately afterward, waves of world-destroying power erupted, and two towering figures clashed in the sky.

Powerful forces tore through the nine heavens, and chaotic currents of energy, like celestial rivers, descended from the nine heavens, engulfing the earth.

In the instant the two sides clashed, other powerful figures quickly joined the fray.

In a short time, no fewer than ten Half-Saints attacked the All-Heavens Alliance.

Clearly

, these Half-Saints had long coveted this power.

Now, seizing the opportunity presented by the fall of the Ancestor of the All-Heavens Alliance, they intend to join forces to annihilate this force.

…

The chaotic starry sky.

A celestial ship traverses.

Inside a celestial palace aboard the ship, Shen Changqing sits cross-legged, before him rests the fragments of the Twelve Heavens.

Although these treasures were shattered by the Soul-Destroying Sword, the residual Daoist power within them is still astonishing.

With Shen Changqing’s discerning eye, he can see that these Twelve Heavens are top-tier Innate Emperor Weapons.

“The Twelve Heavens, each one bearing the power of a universe, possess such a naturally formed Daoist essence. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be treasures naturally born from heaven and earth.

One Heaven represents one universe, and twelve beads represent twelve universes.

Individually, these treasures are at most at the level of a seventh-grade Innate Emperor Weapon, but when gathered together, they are comparable to a ninth-grade Innate Emperor Weapon!”

A ninth-grade Innate Emperor Weapon!

This level of treasure is the first time Shen Changqing has encountered one.

Despite possessing numerous treasures, aside from the Seven Profound Divine Tower of unknown rank and the Soul-Destroying Sword, his strongest treasure is merely the Eight Trigrams Purple Sun Furnace.

Even the latter is at most a seventh-grade innate imperial weapon, far inferior to the complete Twelve Heavens.

Frankly,

if such treasures could be used, they would undoubtedly elevate his strength to a higher level.

Although,

with the Soul-Destroying Sword, the Twelve Heavens seem insignificant,

it’s important to understand that while the Soul-Destroying Sword is powerful, each activation consumes a considerable amount of energy. Even with Shen Changqing’s current foundation and strength, he cannot recklessly wield the Soul-Destroying Sword.

In the battle of Burial Immortal Prefecture,

he seemingly effortlessly killed the patriarch of the Heavens Alliance.

But only Shen Changqing himself knew that the power of that sword strike actually utilized his entire foundation.

If other powerful figures intervene, Shen Changqing will have no choice but to use the Longevity Pill to sustain him in the subsequent battle.

There’s no other way.

A Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint is a force to be reckoned with.

Moreover,

such a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint possesses top-tier treasures.

Whether a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint has a ninth-grade innate imperial weapon or not is a completely different matter.

The former can easily suppress the latter.

Facing such a being, how could Shen Changqing dare to be careless?

Without going all out, he cannot kill the Ancestor of the Heavenly Alliance.

If he cannot kill the Ancestor, he and Ji Kong will have no chance of leaving the Burial Immortal Continent.

After all,

countless Half-Saints are secretly watching him.

The Ancestor of the Heavenly Alliance’s attack is actually a test.

If he shows even the slightest weakness, the other Half-Saints will swarm him like hyenas smelling blood and devour him.

Therefore…

When Shen Changqing does act, he goes all out, only in this way can he deter the other half-saints.

And as it turns out, he was right.

The Ancestor of the All-Heavens Alliance perished.

None of the other half-saints who secretly coveted it dared to show themselves.

…

To get back to the main point.

The Soul-Destroying Sword was Shen Changqing’s trump card, not to be used lightly unless absolutely necessary, otherwise it would bring a lot of trouble.

Furthermore,

in the battle of the Divine Sun Domain, the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands were all searching for their whereabouts, and the Soul-Destroying Sword was also a symbol.

If he could obtain a second supreme treasure, then Shen Changqing’s subsequent actions would be much easier.

That

‘s why, when he killed the Ancestor of the All-Heavens Alliance, he sought out the Twelve Fragments of the All-Heavens.

These supreme treasures, born of heaven and earth, all share a common characteristic:

unless completely destroyed, they can be repaired with patient nurturing.

Just like the Immortal-Destroying Array Diagram. The Immortal-

Destroying Array Diagram was once only a top-grade Emperor Immortal artifact, and it was severely damaged, but it gradually recovered on its own.

Later, Shen Changqing found a Chaos Spirit Embryo for it, which directly transformed into a Primal Divine Weapon, allowing it to step into the Half-Saint realm.

Currently,

Shen Changqing naturally didn’t have any extra Chaos Spirit Embryos to transform the Twelve Heavens.

However, he was still confident that he could refine such a treasure and slowly nurture its recovery. With these

distracting thoughts settled, Shen Changqing began refining the Twelve Heavens.

Refining a seventh-grade Innate Emperor Weapon was difficult, but with the fall of the Heavens Alliance’s ancestor, this treasure was now ownerless.

Furthermore, the Twelve Heavens were already severely damaged and no longer possessed their former power.

With Shen Changqing’s current strength, refining them wasn’t difficult.

Even though the Twelve Heavens consisted of twelve treasures, refining them completely wouldn’t take him too long.

…

This refining process

took three years.

When the last bead was completely refined, these twelve treasures were entirely under Shen Changqing’s control.

With a slight thought, the Twelve Heavens swirled around him, their powerful Daoist energy spreading out, manifesting twelve universes, their oppressive aura filling the entire Immortal Palace.

However, upon closer inspection, one could see that the Twelve Heavens were covered in cracks, and the so-called twelve universes seemed somewhat illusory, as if they would dissipate completely with a mere flick of the wrist.

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly.

“The attack from the Soul-Destroying Sword did indeed cause too much damage to the Twelve Heavens. Right now, these twelve treasures can barely maintain the level of Innate Emperor Weapons.

To truly restore them to the level of Seventh-Rank Innate Emperor Weapons, they will need a long period of nurturing.”

Although he said this,

if the Twelve Heavens were to unite, the power they unleashed would be comparable to a Third-Rank Innate Emperor Weapon.

Shen Changqing was naturally satisfied with such treasures.

The power of the Twelve Heavens was astonishing; even now, damaged, they would still rank among the top treasures in his possession.

Most importantly…

Once the Twelve Heavens have fully recovered and rejoined the ranks of seventh-grade innate imperial weapons, their combined power will rival that of ninth-grade innate imperial weapons.

Such treasures, while perhaps not the absolute pinnacle of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, are certainly not to be underestimated.

This trip to the Burial Immortal Continent

not only allowed Ji Kong to enter the Ancient Immortal Stele and obtain the opportunity to prove his Dao as an Immortal Emperor, but Shen Changqing also acquired the Twelve Heavens. How could he not be satisfied?

Afterwards,

he spread his divine sense, glancing at all directions in the void, before continuing to calmly comprehend the profound Dao essence within the Twelve Heavens.
