Terran Guardian - Chapter 3862

Chapter 3838 The victor is king, the loser is villain; why bother with further words!

However,

the power of the Dao Stele is ultimately formidable.

Even though Jun Chen was severely injured and his strength was no longer at its peak, Wenren Chen was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position thanks to the power of the Dao Stele.

“Boom!”

When Jun Chen launched another attack, Wenren Chen raised his hand and thrust out with his spear. The spear tip collided with the ancient bell, and a terrifying wave spread out in all directions from the two of them.

Wenren Chen retreated abruptly, his tiger’s mouth split open, and his right hand holding the spear trembled slightly. His expression was extremely serious, and he felt immense pressure.

“This is troublesome!”

He glanced at the other directions of the battlefield out of the corner of his eye, and the situation was not optimistic.

Although his side had successfully launched a sneak attack first, the problem was that the strength of the Extreme Abyss Immortal City was not weak.

Although his side seemed to have a slight advantage overall,

the problem was that

this slight advantage was not enough to truly determine the winner.

Under normal circumstances, Wenren Chen wouldn’t have to worry. He could simply stall for time, and his side would eventually win.

However—

the biggest problem right now

is that this is Jun Chen’s home turf.

Although Wenren Chen launched a sneak attack and severely injured him first, Jun Chen’s power has increased dramatically thanks to his control of the Dao Stele, making him far superior to Wenren Chen.

If Jun Chen hadn’t been injured first,

Wenren Chen would already be defeated. Even so, the battle has dragged on for so long, and Wenren Chen is gradually feeling his strength waning. Without any unforeseen circumstances, he fears he has little chance of winning.

If he is defeated, the battle will inevitably end in failure.

If that happens, it will be difficult to explain to the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Therefore,

Wenren Chen is now in a dilemma.

If he doesn’t retreat, he will inevitably face defeat and death; if he does retreat, it will be difficult to explain to the Seven Profound Dao Sect, and if Shen Changqing is enraged, his own life will be hanging by a thread.

As for leaving this place and no longer getting involved, that’s even more impossible.

If he weren’t bound by any restrictions, it wouldn’t be a problem, but now he was bound by the restrictions left behind by the Seven Profound Dao Sect, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Just as Wenren Chen was pondering a countermeasure, suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended, instantly sweeping across the entire Extreme Abyss Immortal City.

Under the cover of this aura, both sides of the cultivators were horrified, looking up at the sky, only to see a cultivator slowly walking through the air, long blood-red hair falling to his shoulders, his eyes showing complete indifference.

“A Half-Saint!!”

Upon seeing such a being arrive, Jun Chen felt his sea of consciousness buzz, his face instantly turning horrified.

Such a suppressive aura, even with the power of the Dao Stele, would be almost impossible to resist; only a Half-Saint could possess such power.

In that instant,

a strong sense of foreboding surged in Jun Chen’s heart.

A strange Half-Saint had suddenly appeared, likely an enemy rather than a friend.

Sure enough.

Just as this thought crossed Jun Chen’s mind, he saw a look of joy appear on Wenren Chen’s face.

“Senior Blood River!”

These four words shattered Jun Chen’s anxiety.

Seeing Wenren Chen’s familiarity, it was clear without a doubt that this half-saint was from the other side, and most likely from the so-called Seven Profound Dao Sect.

But things had come to this point, and Jun Chen could only grit his teeth and bow.

“Your Excellency—”

But before he could finish, Blood River suddenly unleashed a palm strike, instantly collapsing and obliterating the void. The terrifying power of the Great Dao rules shattered everything, causing Jun Chen’s breath to catch in his throat, his face once again filled with horror.

“Block it!!”

Jun Chen roared inwardly, pouring all his immortal power into the ancient bell, pushing the power of this supreme treasure to its limit, hoping to block such an attack from a half-saint level.

But when the two truly touched, the ancient bell let out a mournful cry, and then shattered inch by inch.

The remaining force overwhelmed him, Jun Chen’s arms exploded, and his flesh and immortal bones gradually turned to dust.

“This is the power of a half-saint—”

This thought flashed through Jun Chen’s mind, a look of grimness and relief crossing his face before his consciousness plunged into eternal darkness.

To outsiders, it appeared as if the body of the Lord of the Abyss Immortal City was slowly reduced to ashes by the power of a half-saint, leaving no trace in moments.

“…”

This scene left Wenren Chen somewhat stunned. For him, the impact was immense.

His opponent, whom he had fought with all his might and had little chance of winning, was now easily annihilated by the Blood River like an ant. Such a difference in strength was astonishing.

Below the half-saint realm, all are ants!

Only now did Wenren Chen truly understand the meaning of this saying. At

this moment…

Xuehe finally turned his gaze to Wenren Chen and said calmly, “It’s been so long since you’ve taken Jiyuan Immortal City. The sect leader is somewhat disappointed in you!”

These simple words made Wenren Chen’s heart tremble. He hurriedly said, “This matter is my fault. I hope senior can give me a chance!”

He didn’t offer any explanation, because in the face of absolute power, all explanations seemed pale and powerless.

For many powerful figures, they only care about the result, not the process.

Rather than arguing and offending the other party, it’s better to simply admit fault.

Xuehe stood with his hands behind his back, silent.

Seeing this, Wenren Chen felt a sense of relief and then directly attacked the other cultivators.

Without Jun Chen’s obstruction, the cultivators of Jiyuan Immortal City were no match for him.

In just one exchange, a Celestial Emperor was nailed to the city wall, his soul annihilated, only blood flowing down his wounds—a gruesome sight.

The remaining cultivators were terrified at the sight.

“The lord is dead!”

“Quick, run!!!”

Some Immortal Emperors, having lost all will to fight, abandoned the Abyss Immortal City and fled without looking back.

Others, seeing the situation spiraling out of control, were determined to die and surrounded Wenren Chen.

“Seeking your own death!”

Wenren Chen scoffed, his crimson spear thrusting out, the tip piercing the man’s chest and lifting his entire body off the ground.

The latter gripped the gun in his right hand, his eyes fixed on Wenren Chen, his face filled with hatred: “Betraying the Immortal Qin Dynasty, Wenren Chen, you will not have a good end—”

“The victor is king, the loser is villain, why bother with words!”

Wenren Chen’s expression was mocking, his right hand suddenly trembled, and a powerful force erupted, instantly shattering the Immortal Emperor’s body into pieces.

…

Half a day later.

With the fall of the last cultivator,

the battle finally came to an end.

Wenren Chen’s robes were stained with blood, some of his own, and some of that of other cultivators.

He looked at Xue He before him with a respectful expression, completely unlike the demeanor he had shown when facing the other Immortal Emperors.

“Senior!”

“You did well in this matter. Arrange things in this Immortal City, the sect leader wants to see you.”

Xue He’s expression remained indifferent; he didn’t have much of an opinion about Wenren Chen.

If this cultivator hadn’t submitted to the Seven Profound Dao Sect, Xue He wouldn’t have bothered to give him a second glance.

After all,

the other party was ultimately just an Immortal Emperor.

Why would Xue He care about cultivators at this level?

Most Immortal Emperors in the world are nothing more than ants before a Half-Saint.

In Xuehe’s view, that sect leader’s strength is unmatched. The

fact that he holds the first place on the Immortal Emperor Stele alone is enough to prove everything.

Upon hearing this, Wenren Chen’s expression faltered slightly: “Where is Your Excellency now?”

“Zhenyuan Pass.”

“Zhenyuan Pass!”

Wenren Chen’s expression changed instantly. These three words were a huge shock to him.

Now that person is at Zhenyuan Pass, doesn’t that mean that Zhenyuan Pass has already fallen?

You must know

that it is the most powerful fortress in the Northern Frontier, and it is guarded by a powerhouse of Han Chongshan’s caliber. Over the countless years, many forces have attacked Zhenyuan Pass, but all have ultimately failed.

Originally, when Shen Changqing wanted to take action against Zhenyuan Pass, Wenren Chen was not optimistic. He did not think that the other party could take Zhenyuan Pass.

But now, Xuehe’s words shocked Wenren Chen.

How long has it been?

If he remembered correctly, it has only been a few days.

The mighty Zhenyuan Pass, could it really have crumbled in just a few days against the Seven Profound Dao Sect?

This news was so shocking that Wenren Chen couldn’t help but ask,

“May I ask, senior, has Your Majesty captured Zhenyuan Pass?”

Xuehe glanced at him, naturally understanding the implication, and said calmly, “Zhenyuan Pass is nothing to worry about. If it weren’t for some ancient restrictions that were quite troublesome, that fortress would have already fallen.”

These words completely dispelled any remaining doubts Wenren Chen had.

But after this shock came great joy.

The Seven Profound Dao Sect had captured the entire Zhenyuan Pass in just a few days.

This meant that their strength was greater than he had imagined.

Given the terrifying power of Zhenyuan Pass, few of the top forces in the Xuandu Immortal Domain would dare to claim they could capture it in just a few days.

Yet ,

the Xuantian Dao Sect had done it.

This showed just how powerful their foundation was.

For Wenren Chen, the stronger the Seven Profound Dao Sect was, the better.

After all, he had already pledged allegiance to the Seven Profound Dao Sect, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that their fates were intertwined.

If the Seven Profound Dao Sect wasn’t strong enough, and the Immortal Qin Dynasty learned of this and launched a massive invasion, his fate would inevitably be tragic.

But now it was different.

The Seven Profound Dao Sect had captured Zhenyuan Pass in just a few days, demonstrating their formidable strength. Coupled with the importance of Zhenyuan Pass, the Seven Profound Dao Sect was practically invincible.

Therefore,

pledging allegiance to the Seven Profound Dao Sect wasn’t a bad thing.

In fact ,

by following the Seven Profound Dao Sect, Wenren Chen felt that he might even have a chance to plunder enough Heavenly Dao fortune in the ancient battlefield to obtain an opportunity bestowed by Heaven.

Understanding this, Wenren Chen didn’t hesitate and quickly ordered people to clean up the battlefield to eliminate the remnants left behind by the Extreme Abyss Immortal City.

After handling everything properly, he followed Xuehe to Zhenyuan Pass to meet Shen Changqing.

Before long, an ancient immortal city fortress came into view.
