Terran Guardian - Chapter 3880

Chapter 3856 Battle of Tian Ce Army Master

Fulong Immortal City.

A massive army pressed in.

Eight million Heavenly Strategy soldiers formed a dark, imposing mass, their terrifying aura seemingly capable of suppressing the heavens and the void, causing the cultivators of the Seven Profound Dao Sect to pale in fear.

Only a handful remained truly calm.

“Sect Master, that’s the Heavenly Strategy Army!”

Mu Chen’s expression was solemn as he looked towards the direction of the Heavenly Strategy Army, his eyes filled with gravity.

He was the one responsible for guarding Fulong Immortal City this time.

Originally, Fulong Immortal City belonged to the Great Luo Immortal Court, but later, Mu Chen led his army to take it over, bringing it under the control of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Originally,

Mu Chen planned to have other cultivators handle the affairs of Fulong Immortal City while he continued to lead his army deeper into the territory.

But unfortunately,

just as he was about to make a move, news arrived from the Great Luo Immortal Court.

The Heavenly Strategy Army Commander, Pei Chengyue, was personally leading eight million Heavenly Strategy soldiers.

This news…

Mu Chen immediately abandoned the idea of leading his army deeper into enemy territory.

He knew his own strength.

If he were facing other armies of the Great Luo Immortal Court, Mu Chen might have a chance of victory.

But facing the Heavenly Strategy Army would be suicide.

Not to mention that the Heavenly Strategy Army Commander was a top-tier expert who could easily annihilate his army alone,

the eight million Heavenly Strategy Army soldiers were filled with powerful figures.

As far as Mu Chen knew, there were no fewer than a hundred Immortal Emperors among them, and many top-tier Immortal Emperors.

Not to mention the remaining cultivators.

Mu Chen naturally understood the gap between their forces.

Therefore,

he switched from offense to defense and simultaneously reported the news back.

With Shen Changqing present, although Mu Chen felt heavy-hearted about the approaching eight million Heavenly Strategy Army soldiers, he was not particularly panicked.

“Eight million Heavenly Strategy Army soldiers, their momentum is indeed considerable. No wonder this army is the elite of the Great Luo Immortal Court!”

Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the army below, his expression calm.

He had seen many armies, but few could truly compare to the Heavenly Strategy Army before him. Although he hadn’t actually fought them, the sheer killing intent emanating from their sheer

size was enough to give him a glimpse of their power. In a battle between equals, the Heavenly Strategy Army would be able to sweep aside all sides.

Even the so-called Heavenly Suppression Army of the past seemed somewhat inadequate in the face of such elite forces.

However—

all of this was predicated on a battle between equals.

No matter how powerful the Heavenly Strategy Army was, it couldn’t possibly threaten a Half-Saint.

For cultivators, strength often determined everything; numbers were less important.

After all, to a Half-Saint, an Immortal Emperor was merely an ant that could be wiped out with a wave of the hand, and an Ancient Immortal was an ant among ants. A so-called army was insignificant in the face of absolute power.

Only in a battle between equals, where the combat strength of the high-level leaders of both sides was roughly equal, could the advantage of an army be demonstrated.

But as things stood, Shen Changqing wasn’t too worried about the Heavenly Strategy Army.

“You are only responsible for defending the city in this battle. There’s no need for you to actively engage in combat. With your strength and the assistance of the Fulong Dao Stele, holding off the Tian Ce Army shouldn’t be a problem.

As for the Tian Ce Army Commander, I will handle that!”

Shen Changqing said.

Mu Chen nodded in acceptance, “This humble Daoist obeys!”

…

“Attack the city!”

In the central command, Pei Chengyue waved his hand, his majestic voice covering the battlefield and reaching the ears of every soldier.

Upon receiving this order, the eight million Tian Ce soldiers moved in unison, their overwhelming killing intent pressing down on Fulong Immortal City like a tidal wave.

“Boom!!!”

The fighting intent soared to the sky, and the killing aura even materialized. Faced with such an aura, many cultivators on Fulong Immortal City changed their expressions again.

But at this moment, Mu Chen’s aura suddenly erupted, transforming into a vast sea of lightning that collided with the true killing intent of the battlefield.

In an instant,

the void trembled and shattered, and the sea of lightning violently surged and dissipated.

Faced with the onslaught of eight million troops, the aura of a single Immortal Emperor was ultimately insufficient to withstand it.

But the instant the sea of lightning dissipated, Shen Changqing took a step forward, and the Great Dao River crashed down from the heavens, its vast waters seemingly capable of engulfing the universe, its terrifying Daoist power capable of suppressing everything.

Before such supreme Dao, all killing intent crumbled and annihilated.

However—

just as the killing intent dissipated, Pei Chengyue, who had remained motionless until now, finally made his move. He directly summoned a Primordial Chaos Axe and cleaved it towards the void. A sharp, cold light tore   through

space, and the vast Great Dao River seemed to be cleaved in two by the axe’s light.

The axe’s power, still surging, traversed the void, aiming directly at the figure on the Dragon-Subduing Immortal City.   Shen Changqing did not yield, directly throwing a punch.   When his right fist collided with the axe light, a terrifying shockwave erupted.   The next instant.   The axe light vanished.   Shen Changqing’s body remained unshaken.   ”…”   This scene made Pei Chengyue’s expression immediately become much more solemn.   He knew all too well the power of his axe strike. Even if he hadn’t used his full strength when he swung that axe, it would still be extremely difficult for other half-saints to withstand it with their flesh and blood.   From this attack, Pei Chengyue could see that his opponent’s physical body was no ordinary one.   But even so, he was not afraid at all.   Immediately ,   Pei Chengyue took a step into the air and rose up, looking down at the vast Fulong Immortal City, and then spoke, his voice shaking the void.   ”Seven Profound Dao Lords, do you dare to fight!”   ”Why wouldn’t I dare!”   Shen Changqing smiled calmly, and then also took a step into the air and stepped out of Fulong Immortal City. Almost before Pei Chengyue could make any move, he casually summoned the Twelve Heavens, carrying the power of the universe’s chaos, and smashed it down towards his opponent.   Such an attack made Pei Chengyue’s expression change immediately, but he was not afraid and directly swung his long axe to meet the attack.   The axe light was chilling, as if it could cut through the river of time and shatter the chaotic world.

When the two forces collided, a devastating shockwave spread outwards.

At the same time,

Pei Chengyue felt a violent tremor in his arm; the web of his right hand gripping the axe handle cracked, but the injury healed completely in less than an instant.

Even so, the Heavenly Strategy Army Commander was secretly alarmed.

“What a treasure!”

Even with his discerning eye, he couldn’t truly discern the grade of the Twelve Heavens, but judging from the exchange, this treasure was definitely of high quality.

Even so, Pei Chengyue remained fearless.

“What use is a treasure, no matter how good? Cultivators ultimately rely on their own strength. In this battle, watch me slay you here, glorifying the Great Luo Immortal Court!”

Before his words had even finished, Pei Chengyue had already struck first, his incomparably fierce axe light cleaving through everything, determined to kill Shen Changqing on the spot.

In response…

Shen Changqing’s expression remained unchanged. His immortal power surged into his supreme treasure, manifesting twelve illusory universes, carrying the power to suppress the chaotic universe, and he engaged his opponent in direct combat.

Undeniably,

Pei Chengyue’s strength was in no way inferior to Luo Cunzhen’s back then.

Although the latter was a Fourth Tribulation Half-Saint, his strength was ultimately diminished, while Pei Chengyue, though a Third Tribulation Half-Saint, was at his peak.

More importantly, the long axe in his hand was also a top-tier supreme treasure, coupled with his profound foundation, making him no less formidable than Luo Cunzhen, a wounded Fourth Tribulation Half-Saint.

This was understandable;

he had the confidence to fight him.

…

While the two clashed, the Tian Ce Army officially launched its siege.

Mu Chen, following Shen Changqing’s orders, held the immortal city and refused to engage.

Unfortunately, the Tian Ce Army’s strength was ultimately extraordinary; with their full-force attack, the Seven Profound Dao Sect could hardly withstand much. However,

after only a short while, an Immortal Emperor was the first to scale the city walls.

Just as the opponent was about to unleash a massacre, Mu Chen raised his hand and conjured a lightning seal, which descended to suppress them. The Immortal Emperor’s expression hardened slightly, but he showed no fear, directly striking out with a palm.

“Boom—”

The two forces collided, and the supreme lightning seal contained overwhelming heavenly might; its terrifying power was simply beyond his ability to withstand.

The Immortal Emperor of the Great Luo Immortal Court’s expression changed drastically, his confidence turning into terror.

“No—”

He tried to turn and flee, but it was too late.

The lightning seal crashed down, instantly shattering his body into pieces. Even his Immortal Emperor soul couldn’t escape and was instantly killed by this power.

Slaying an Immortal Emperor greatly boosted the morale of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

However,

Mu Chen showed no smile.

This was because while he was slaying this Immortal Emperor, even more powerful figures had already climbed the city walls.

Seeing this…

Mu Chen showed no mercy, unleashing the full power of his Innate Thunder God Body. The power of the Subduing Dragon Dao Stele descended upon him, causing his cultivation to surge dramatically. He then unleashed a boundless sea of lightning that engulfed the void, manifesting countless weapons of heaven and earth to suppress him.

“Be careful!”

“This man is ruthless! Let’s join forces and kill him first!”

Seeing Mu Chen’s imposing presence, the other Immortal Emperors of the Great Luo Immortal Court all changed their expressions. Several top Immortal Emperors exchanged glances and joined forces to attack him.

It was obvious without a doubt that the person before them was the Lord of Subduing Dragon Immortal City.

As long as he was killed, Subduing Dragon Immortal City would be free of any threat.

After taking Subduing Dragon Immortal City, they only needed to wait for the military lord to kill the Seven Profound Dao Lord, and this battle would be a great victory.

Although Mu Chen’s current strength was formidable, the other Immortal Emperors could also see that he was only at the initial stage of Immortal Emperor.

How powerful could an initial stage Immortal Emperor be, even with the power of the Dao Stele?

With several top-tier Immortal Emperors joining forces, killing him would be no problem at all.

However—

when the two sides truly clashed, the Immortal Emperors of the Great Luo Immortal Court realized that they had underestimated the strength of this Lord of Fulong Immortal City.

His thunderous power was terrifying, containing a majestic heavenly might. The power of the Dao Stele seemed to be at his fingertips, and even with several top-tier Immortal Emperors joining forces, they could hardly gain the upper hand.

“Kill!”

While the other Immortal Emperors were in shock, Mu Chen’s eyes burned with fighting spirit. He unleashed all his Great Dao Divine Powers, crashing down upon the powerful figures of the Great Luo Immortal Court.

At this moment, under the power of the Dao Stele, even facing several top-tier Immortal Emperors directly, he was not afraid in the slightest.
