Terran Guardian - Chapter 4011

Chapter 3986: Emperor Luo

Inside a grand celestial palace,

the light was as bright as day. Stars seemed to be embedded in the pillars of the hall’s interior. A middle-aged man in a black imperial robe held a jade slip, reviewing memorials.

Suddenly, a sharp

crack rang out.

The jade slip in his hand shattered, and a terrifying pressure suppressed the air above the hall, so oppressive it was hard to breathe.

Outside the palace,

all the cultivators who sensed this aura were horrified.

Although the aura arrived and disappeared quickly, it still alarmed everyone.

Moments later,

many cultivators came to request an audience.

“Come in!”

the middle-aged man spoke slowly, his tone calm, revealing no anger, yet it only amplified the oppressive feeling in those around him. As his voice fell, several cultivators entered.

“Your subject pays respects to the Heavenly Emperor!”

“May I ask what has caused such anger in Your Majesty?”

a minister asked cautiously in a low voice.

The man before them was the ruler of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court, a figure whose cultivation spanned countless years, and few things could truly enrage him.

Now, they were naturally terrified.

After all ,

the Heavenly Emperor’s wrath could cause the deaths of millions.

They still remembered the last time he had been enraged, it was when a sect instigated a prince’s rebellion, ultimately leading to a massive military crackdown, the massacre of the sect, and the direct or indirect loss of countless cultivators, turning the Great Wilderness Immortal Court into a river of blood .

Now,

he was enraged again.

How could the other cultivators not be terrified? Emperor Luo calmly said, “Li’er is dead!”

This simple sentence sent a chill down the spines of all the cultivators. The Second Prince, Luo Jiuli, was

dead!

This news shocked them.

At the same time

, they understood why he was so furious.

The Great Wilderness Immortal Court had many princes, and among them were more than one outstanding figure, such as the Third Prince Luo Jiuyuan and the Thirteenth Prince Luo Jiuqing, all considered top geniuses.

Moreover, many of these princes had been favored by this Heavenly Emperor.

Among the many princes, the Second Prince, Luo Jiuli, undoubtedly held the highest position.

Since the death of the First Prince, Luo Jiuli had been the most favored, which was the main reason he was able to obtain the Crimson Jade Token and enter the Crimson Jade Palace.

Otherwise

, in the Great Wilderness Immortal Court, there were certainly some geniuses with greater strength and talent than Luo Jiuli, if not countless. In terms of sheer strength and talent, Luo Jiuli had absolutely no chance of obtaining the Crimson Jade Token.

Yet,

he did obtain it and entered the Crimson Jade Palace.

This alone demonstrates how much the Heavenly Emperor valued him.

But now,

Luo Jiuli is dead.

This news is nothing short of an earthquake for the entire Great Wilderness Immortal Court.

“The Crimson Jade Palace is suppressed by the rules of the Primordial Dao Venerable, making it difficult for me to predict the secrets of heaven. However, the death of Li’er is most likely related to other cultivators. Issue my decree to dispatch a large army into the Divine Heaven Domain, await the opening of the Crimson Jade Palace, and search with all our might for the murderer of Li’er.

Once the murderer is found, regardless of their identity, suppress them without mercy!”

When the last sentence was spoken, Emperor Luo’s face turned icy cold.

The death of Luo Jiuli had thoroughly enraged him.

Some cultivators hesitated: “Your Majesty… now the Divine Heaven Domain is gathering many top forces from the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. If we take large-scale action, I’m afraid it will bring some trouble to the Immortal Court…” “Hmph!”

Emperor Luo snorted coldly. Such a sound fell on the ears of all cultivators like a thunderclap from the heavens, causing their souls and consciousness to tremble violently, and blood seemed to spill from their seven orifices.

“When has our Great Wilderness Immortal Court ever acted with such timidity?

I am not dead yet, and even if the top powers of the Four Immortal Continents were to confront us, our Great Wilderness Immortal Court would not fear.

Whoever caused Li’er’s death, they must give an explanation!”

Upon hearing

this, everyone fell silent.

Everyone could see that this person was truly enraged.

To object at this moment would only invite trouble.

Moreover,

Emperor Luo was right.

No matter what, the Great Wilderness Immortal Court was still a top power in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, and the Heavenly Emperor before them was a being who had reached the Supreme Realm. As long as he lived, the Great Wilderness Immortal Court would remain unshakeable.

Furthermore,

the Great Wilderness Immortal Court’s foundation was unfathomable.

Even the supreme powers of the Four Immortal Continents would not easily break ties with the Great Wilderness Immortal Court. The Great Wilderness

Immortal Court could not possibly remain indifferent to Luo Jiuli’s death.

Right now, the only thing they could do was obey orders.

The rest,

this Heavenly Emperor would handle.

Immediately…

Several ministers withdrew, leaving only Emperor Luo in the Immortal Palace.

With a flick of his sleeve, the power of the Great Dao manifested, distorting and rippling space as if a scene was being conceived. But in the next instant, this scene collapsed with a deafening roar.

All the power of the Great Dao vanished. The distorted and turbulent space was forcibly smoothed out by an unseen force.

Everything returned to normal, as if nothing had changed.

This scene

caused Emperor Luo’s expression to darken slightly.

“The Crimson Jade Dao Venerable… an existence with one foot in the Sovereign level, truly cannot be measured by ordinary standards.

Even after countless years of decline, the power of the Great Dao he left behind is difficult to shake.

It seems that deducing the secrets of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace is still impossible!”

Although Emperor Luo already knew this, he was still secretly shocked when his own Great Dao power was forcibly smoothed out.

The strength of this Crimson Jade Dao Venerable was simply terrifying.

You must know…

As the Heavenly Emperor of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court, Emperor Luo had been at the Supreme Realm for countless years, his cultivation and strength unfathomable. Not only in Shenfeng Prefecture, but even throughout the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, those truly capable of reaching this realm were extremely rare.

If Dao Venerable Crimson Jade were still alive, Emperor Luo wouldn’t be surprised if he couldn’t deduce the heavenly secrets. After all, a Dao Venerable of that level was not something a Supreme could challenge.

However, Dao Venerable Crimson Jade had perished many years ago, and now even the Dao Palace he left behind was beyond his ability to deduce. Moreover, when he tried to deduce it, it was directly smoothed over by the residual power of the fallen Dao Venerable.

This showed just

how unfathomable the Dao Venerable’s strength was.

Therefore,

Emperor Luo naturally abandoned any further divination attempts.

“I only hope that Li’er’s demise has nothing to do with you, otherwise, this matter will not end easily!”

Emperor Luo’s eyes were gloomy. He didn’t want to cause too much trouble, but he couldn’t possibly ignore Luo Jiuli’s death.

This matter…

They could only wait until the Crimson Jade Dao Palace event concluded.

Meanwhile,

inside the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, news of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Master Shen Changqing appearing in the Chaos Sea and single-handedly killing Luo Jiuli, the second prince of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court, and seizing the Longevity Token had spread like wildfire.

This news quickly reached most of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace.

Every cultivator who learned of this was shocked.

Mysterious Heaven Sword Master Shen Changqing!

Few were unfamiliar with this name.

Tens

of millions of years ago, he had already reached the highest position on the Immortal Emperor Stele, suppressing numerous Immortal Emperors, making him arguably the number one.

But since then, he had vanished without a trace.

Some cultivators outside of the Divine Wind Continent naturally understood the reason for his disappearance.

Having offended many top forces in the Divine Wind Continent, he lacked sufficient backing and dared not easily show himself.

If Shen Changqing’s name hadn’t still been displayed on the Immortal Emperor Stele, they would have all assumed he had long since perished.

However, no one expected

him to appear here.

And, moreover,

to have killed Luo Jiuli.

Other cultivators outside of Shenfeng Prefecture had little understanding of the strength of the Second Prince of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court.

However, the cultivators of Shenfeng Prefecture were different.

Especially those from the same Shenyang Domain, who knew that Luo Jiuli’s strength was extraordinary.

Although he hadn’t entered the Immortal Emperor Stele, his strength was definitely among the strongest below it.

They wouldn’t be too shocked if Shen Changqing could kill Luo Jiuli.

But to say he could kill Luo Jiuli in one strike was entirely different. This was the Crimson Jade Dao Palace. All supreme treasures and techniques above the Immortal Emperor level were forbidden. Even geniuses with strong foundations and the strength to break through the Immortal Emperor barrier were still suppressed.

Under such circumstances, how could someone say they could kill Luo Jiuli instantly not be shocking? Inside a void immortal mansion, Qin Changfeng looked at the jade talisman message, his expression changing slightly. “Shen Changqing, the Xuan Tian Sword Master… this person actually killed Luo Jiuli!” To be honest, Qin Changfeng was also somewhat shocked by this news. Because he knew Luo Jiuli’s strength. Although the opponent was not as strong as him, he wouldn’t be too far behind. Even if Qin Changfeng himself took action, killing Luo Jiuli wouldn’t be an easy task. But soon, Qin Changfeng calmed down. “As expected of a genius who has ascended to the Immortal Emperor Stele, his strength is indeed beyond that of an ordinary Immortal Emperor. But that’s good, it makes it more challenging. As for that piece of trash Luo Jiuli, he’s dead. When I, the Prince, suppress you, you’ll be famous throughout the world!” A cold smile appeared on Qin Changfeng’s lips. As for the claim of instantly killing Luo Jiuli, he thought it was just an exaggeration. This was the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, and everyone here was a top-tier Immortal Emperor. Even if that Xuan Tian Sword Master’s strength was exceptionally high, far surpassing Luo Jiuli’s, it was impossible for him to instantly kill the latter. After all, who among those who weren’t at the half-saint level dared to say they could instantly kill a top-tier Immortal Emperor? Besides , this was a top-tier Immortal Emperor of Luo Jiuli’s level. Therefore, Qin Changfeng naturally didn’t believe this rumor . Then, he looked at the Immortal Mansion before him. Within the immortal palace, the spiritual fields were overflowing with celestial herbs, each one a top-tier herb even by outside standards. These herbs were left behind by powerful figures from the Divine Sun Immortal Court who had entered the Crimson Jade Dao Palace. Now that they had matured, they belonged to Qin Changfeng. Even as a prince of the Divine Sun Immortal Court, many of these herbs were quite precious to him. “By refining these herbs, my strength should be able to advance further!” The prince of the Divine Sun Immortal Court looked at the herbs with a faint smile.
