Terran Guardian - Chapter 3889

Chapter 3865 Turmoil Strikes

“Master, the casualties of this battle have been tallied. Ninety percent of the sect’s cultivators have perished, and the Asura army was almost completely wiped out!

Six elders have also fallen!”

At this moment, a surviving elder spoke with a heavy tone.

These words

shook the other cultivators to their core.

Even Du Xianhe’s face darkened once more.   He had actually prepared himself

for such losses ,   but when they were truly revealed, Du Xianhe still found it difficult to remain calm.   The Asura were one thing;   they were the lower ranks of the Blood Moon Demon Sect, and the losses were insignificant. A few massacres in a few worlds would easily replenish their Asura army.   But the sect’s cultivators were different.   To be a member of the Blood Moon Demon Sect, one would be considered a genius elsewhere.   At the very least,   one had to have the potential to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm to be considered and recruited by Du Xianhe.   In other words,   members of the Blood Moon Demon Sect were either already Ancient Immortals, or their strength was below the Ancient Immortal Realm but they possessed the potential to break through.   Otherwise, they would have no right to join the Blood Moon Demonic Sect.   But now—   the loss of 90% of its members is a significant blow to the Blood Moon Demonic Sect.   Making up for such a loss will not be easy.   Puppets are easy to find, but geniuses are rare.   With so many members lost, recovering them will naturally be difficult.   Not to mention,   the fall of six elders   makes the loss even greater.   Each elder of the Blood Moon Demonic Sect is a powerful Immortal Emperor, the foundation built by Du Xianhe over millions of years.   But now,   in the battle of the Divine Heaven Domain, six Immortal Emperors have fallen at the hands of the Heavenly Forging Palace. How could this not cause him heartache?   ”Heavenly Forging Palace—”   Du Xianhe’s face was icy.   The feud between the two sides was now firmly established.   Such a deep grudge would be avenged in the future.   But Du Xianhe also knew that the Blood Moon Demonic Sect was no match for the Heavenly Forging Palace at present.   Thinking of the figure that almost instantly killed him, Du Xianhe’s expression became even more apprehensive.   If not for the Life Box protecting him, he would have perished on the spot.   With a thought, Du Xianhe looked down at the many high-ranking members of the Demonic Sect and said, “Investigate the situation of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect. Also, send men deep into the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm to observe the changes in the various Immortal Domains.   Now that the Heavenly Dao Battlefield has opened, the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is empty. Those forces lurking in the Chaos will certainly not let this opportunity pass.   This is our sect’s chance.”   ”Your subordinate obeys!”   The many high-ranking members of the Blood Moon Demonic Sect respectfully accepted the order.   …   The vast Chaos.   Ancient palaces suppressed the starry river, and the Three Thousand Great Daos manifested auspicious energy.   Inside the Immortal Palace.   A supreme Dharma Image sat in the void, its body seemingly infinitely large, the chaotic starry river appearing beneath its feet, overlooking all living beings. Many cultivators below showed expressions of awe.   Among them was none other than Qing Tian.   As the Holy Son of the Longevity Divine Sect, his status within the sect was extremely high, second only to the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader.   Even so, this was Qing Tian’s first time here.   At this moment,   he truly witnessed the true power of the Eternal Life Sect.   Ordinary Immortal Emperors wouldn’t even have the right to stand here.   Looking around,   there were countless beings with cultivation levels higher than his own.   Some even possessed auras as unfathomable as an abyss; a single glance from them caused Qing Tian to feel immense pressure, his breath catching in his throat.   As for the figure above, there was no need to elaborate.   At this moment,   the Eternal Life Sect Master’s Dharma Image lowered its gaze, its calm voice resonating through the chaotic starry river.   ”The Heavenly Dao Battlefield has opened, the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is empty, and darkness has issued its decree. This is our sect’s opportunity.   Currently, among the various Immortal Continents, Divine Wind Continent is the weakest. This time, we should exhaust the sect’s resources to conquer this Immortal Continent, leading all living beings into our sect to enjoy the blessings of immortality!”   As his words fell, many high-ranking members of the sect exchanged bewildered glances.   After a long while…   An elder stepped forward and respectfully said, “Reporting to the Sect Master, although Shenfeng Prefecture has suffered a great loss of strength, it should not be underestimated. Ancient forces from all sides stand in the Shenyang Domain.   If the Divine Sect were to engage in a full-scale war with Shenfeng Prefecture, I fear the chances of victory are not high!”   Hearing this,   the other elders nodded slightly, sharing the same view.   Shenfeng Prefecture’s profound foundation was undeniable.   To be precise,   of the three thousand six hundred immortal prefectures in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, none that survived the great calamity were simple entities.   Taking over this immortal prefecture would be no easy task   .   The Longevity Cult Leader’s expression remained calm: “This time, it’s not just our cult acting alone; other cults will   also participate. In this era, there aren’t many Longevity Cults in Shenfeng Prefecture capable of taking action, and with the emergence of the Heavenly Dao Battlefield, their strength has been greatly weakened. If we can defeat the Longevity Cult in this battle, that would be ideal. If not… causing chaos to please our Lord is enough!”   Hearing that other cults were involved, many cultivators secretly breathed a sigh of relief.   The Dark Cults’ influence was widespread, and the Longevity Cult was just one of them.   If they truly joined forces with other Dark Cults, Shenfeng Prefecture wouldn’t be insurmountable.   After all, there were recorded instances of Dark Cults destroying Immortal Prefectures in the past.   One Longevity Cult alone could hardly deal with an Immortal Prefecture.   But if many Dark Cults joined forces, that would be a different story .   Then,   the Longevity Cult Leader’s Dharma Image dissipated.   The remaining cultivators exchanged glances and then departed.   …   ”The Heavenly Dao Battlefield has opened; our opportunity has arrived!”

“Hehehe, all beings of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm will pave the path to immortality for me!”

In the chaotic void, a fallen Immortal Emperor from an ancient forbidden zone could not contain himself and immediately made his move. With a single step, the Great Dao beneath his feet transformed into a mighty river, heading straight for the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. In

an instant,

the sky of an Immortal Realm shattered, the Nine Heavens torn apart by the power of the Great Dao, and a surging torrent of chaos poured down, causing all beings in the Immortal Realm to be filled with horror.

“Not good—”

When an old Immortal Emperor saw this scene, his expression changed drastically.

In that power of the Great Dao, he could already smell the stench of blood and decay.

“Fallen Immortals are invading!”

“The entire Holy Land must prepare for battle!”

With a roar from the old Immortal Emperor, the many powerful figures of the vast Holy Land were shaken, looking up towards the direction of the Nine Heavens, where the power of the Great Dao was already surging in.

A fallen Immortal Emperor, clad in black robes and with a sinister face, strode down the Great Dao. His aura, befitting a top-tier Immortal Emperor, swept through the void, causing any cultivator who sensed it to tremble.

“All beings of the Immortal Realm are fit to be nourishment for my immortality!”

the Fallen Immortal Emperor slowly declared, a crimson light gleaming in his eyes.

Then,

his gaze fell upon a sacred land. An ancient banner shrouded in black mist appeared out of thin air, followed by a torrent of black fog engulfing the sacred land.

“Boom!!”

The black torrent swept across all directions, seemingly capable of devouring everything, leaving all the cultivators in the sacred land horrified.

At this moment,

an Immortal Emperor emerged from the sacred land, wielding an axe. The axe’s cold light cleaved through the void, attempting to cleave the torrent of black mist in two.

But alas—

the axe light only managed to barely cleave the black torrent before being engulfed and swallowed by the continuous power behind it.

The Immortal Emperor’s pupils constricted sharply upon witnessing this.

Seeing the black torrent engulfing the entire holy land, he no longer hesitated, directly throwing out his Emperor Immortal Artifact. The next instant, the Emperor Immortal Artifact exploded violently.

The power of the treasure’s self-destruction erupted, instantly causing the black mist torrent to dissipate.

“All cultivators, evacuate!”

Seizing this opportunity, the Immortal Emperor roared angrily. The numerous cultivators within the holy land were jolted awake, daring not to linger, and hurriedly scattered and fled.

“Want to leave? Have you asked this Emperor yet!”

The Fallen Immortal Emperor’s face was mocking, and he continued to wave the ancient banner in his hand. The rolling black mist was like a huge net, covering the sky and threatening to devour everything.

Seeing this, the Holy Land Immortal Emperor’s illusory image of the eight directions of the universe appeared. The decaying aura that had previously emanated from his body was now rising steadily, as if he had returned to his former peak.

He glared angrily at the Fallen Immortal Emperor in the void, his eyes filled with resolute killing intent.

“The Fallen Immortal Emperor dares to attempt to destroy my Holy Land’s heritage! Today, even if I die, I will make you pay the price!”

The words fell instantly.

The Holy Land Immortal Emperor took a step forward, his aura blazing like a divine sun, shattering the thick black mist, and then charged directly at the Fallen Immortal Emperor.

At this moment, he had completely disregarded life and death.

For him ,

his lifespan was already limited.

Even if he waited until the next great calamity, there was no hope of breaking through to the Half-Saint realm.

Now that the Fallen Immortal Emperor was attacking, rather than passively perish, he simply burned away his last bit of lifespan to fight for a chance for the Holy Land.

Seeing this ,

the Fallen Immortal Emperor’s pupils shrank, his previously indifferent and mocking face now filled with shock.

“Burning your lifespan with a secret technique? Are you insane?!”

He never expected that an Immortal Emperor would be so fearless. The decaying aura emanating from him was enough to show that the other’s lifespan was nearly gone; burning his lifespan now was tantamount to courting death.

As a Fallen Immortal Emperor, he naturally couldn’t understand such actions.

After all, having painstakingly cultivated to this level, how

could he simply accept his fate? But no matter how shocked the Fallen Immortal Emperor was, the Holy Land Immortal Emperor had already arrived, and he could only respond.

In terms of cultivation,

the Fallen Immortal Emperor was a peak Immortal Emperor, while the latter was merely a late-stage Immortal Emperor, easily overwhelming him.

However, the problem was that

in this era, the Fallen Immortal Emperor also bore the risk of divine punishment, which naturally constrained his actions.

In contrast, the Holy Land Immortal Emperor, having burned everything in his power, possessed strength far surpassing his former self.

With this shift in power, neither side could gain the upper hand for the time being.

But just then,

the Immortal Realm’s sky shattered once more.

A strange power covered the void, and ancient, majestic figures traversed the void—the other Fallen Immortals had descended.

Seeing this, the beings of the Immortal Realm showed expressions of despair. (End of Chapter)
