Terran Guardian - Chapter 4015

Chapter 3990: Nine Palaces Guarding the Boundary

“…Gentlemen, the Taixu Creation Fruit is right before us, and I believe everyone understands its effects.

However, opportunities are reserved for the strong, and among those present, the strongest is undoubtedly the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Now that news of the Taixu Creation Fruit has spread, that Daoist disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect is likely on his way.

If we continue to delay, then this Taixu Creation Fruit will certainly be out of our reach.

Therefore, in my humble opinion, why don’t we join forces, first eliminate the cultivators of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, and then compete for the Taixu Creation Fruit based on our individual strength?

At least without the Taiyi Immortal Sect, it will be much easier for us to contend for this item!”

Jiang Yunchuan’s words caused all the cultivators’ expressions to change slightly, and many were secretly tempted, but some remained indifferent, unconcerned by such encouraging words.

The Taiyi Immortal Sect’s side…

Su Yun flew into a rage: “Jiang Yunchuan, you want to use other cultivators to kick my Taiyi Immortal Sect out of the game, seemingly to reap the benefits and seize the Taixu Creation Fruit.

But unfortunately, your scheme is doomed to fail.

All of you cultivators here, having cultivated for so long, surely see through your plot!”

Faced with Su Yun’s exposure, Jiang Yunchuan smiled calmly. “You’re right, but there’s something I must remind you of: is it easier to seize the Taixu Creation Fruit from the Taiyi Immortal Sect, or to kick them out and then snatch it from us cultivators?

Also, you don’t need to worry too much, after all, the Crimson Jade Dao Palace has its own rules to suppress it. No matter

how strong Luo Xinghe is, how much can he actually unleash?

As fellow top-tier Immortal Emperors, what do we have to fear from others!”

Jiang Yunchuan’s words made the other cultivators even more restless, and their gazes towards the Taiyi Immortal Sect became increasingly hostile.

The Taiyi Immortal Sect cultivators, seeing this, were both shocked and furious.

If other cultivators were truly incited, they would find it difficult to contend with him given their current strength.

Even if that Dao Child were to arrive, victory wouldn’t be guaranteed.

However,

Su Yun, being a true disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, quickly suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, “Everyone should think carefully. The Jiang family is powerful, but my Taiyi Immortal Sect is not to be trifled with.

Think thrice before you act!”

Su Yun spoke the last sentence almost word by word. Upon hearing this,

some cultivators were shaken.

The name Taiyi Immortal Sect felt like a mountain pressing down on them, making it hard to breathe.

This level of power was beyond their capabilities.

Of course,

not all cultivators feared the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Some forces of the same level were completely unfazed by Su Yun’s threat.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunchuan raised his arm and shouted.

“The Crimson Jade Palace is the place where opportunities are contested. If you are timid and hesitant, how can you speak of immortality?

Besides, what does it matter if the Taiyi Immortal Sect is powerful? My Jiang family will take care of everything. Why should you all be afraid!” As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yunchuan made the first move

. With a flick

of his sleeve, a towering sword light fell like a star, its powerful force tearing through layers of space, directly attacking Su Yun. “Kill!”

Seeing this, the other cultivators no longer hesitated and immediately attacked the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

It was clear to everyone that the greatest threat now was the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Once the Taiyi Immortal Sect was eliminated, the competition for the Taixu Creation Fruit would be much easier.

In fact,

many cultivators had already planned to turn around and deal with the Jiang family cultivators after eliminating the Taiyi Immortal Sect, kicking them out of the competition for the Taixu Creation Fruit.

But for now, they could not afford to be enemies with the Jiang family.

After all, Jiang Yunchuan was a powerful figure on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele. With him present, they could withstand the pressure from the Taiyi Immortal Sect head-on.

“You dare to be so insolent!!”

Su Yun was shocked and furious. It was one thing for the Jiang family to make a move, but he hadn’t expected other cultivators to actually dare to attack.

It could only be said that the allure of the Taixu Creation Fruit was too great.

Now, Jiang Yunchuan’s attack had arrived. With such a powerful figure on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele going all out, Su Yun had no chance to hesitate.

The latter could only grit his teeth and attack. With a flick of his sleeve, he manifested the Five Palaces and Eight Trigrams, using the supreme power of the Great Dao to suppress the void and create the universe.

“Destroy it!”

Su Yun roared. The world created by the Five Palaces and Eight Trigrams slammed down, causing the vast void to groan and shatter. Even the sword light trembled violently, its speed seemingly coming to a complete standstill.

“Nine Palaces Suppressing the Realm… If Luo Xinghe were to unleash this divine power, it might be somewhat impressive, but for you, it’s still a bit lacking!”

Jiang Yunchuan sneered, a long sword appearing in his hand seemingly out of nowhere. With a seemingly casual swing, he shattered and annihilated the surrounding world.

The sword light that cleaved through the chaos of the universe was reflected in Su Yun’s pupils.

A strong sense of threat caused his expression to change drastically, and he immediately activated his divine power. A Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams array appeared behind him, and the space before him violently distorted. Though seemingly close, it felt as if they were billions of miles apart.

This was the profound mystery of the Nine Palaces Suppressing the Realm divine power. It

could suppress powerful enemies with the power of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams, and it could also manipulate the universe, turning a near-instantaneous distance into an insurmountable barrier.

If a cultivator was not skilled enough, even if they were close at hand, they wouldn’t have the right to touch them.

In the past, Su Yun had suppressed countless Immortal Emperors with this divine power, and with it, he remained invincible against other Immortal Emperors. Unfortunately,

he was now facing Jiang Yunchuan.

The latter, ranked on the Immortal Emperor Stele, possessed strength far beyond that of ordinary Immortal Emperors.

The power of the Nine Palaces Suppressing Realm lasted less than a few breaths before being torn apart by Jiang Yunchuan. Seeing the sword about to strike, Su Yun could only shift his feet to avoid the attack.

However—

this retreat meant losing the initiative.

Jiang Yunchuan stood firmly in the void, his supreme sword intent like a divine sun suppressing the void, his attacks like a torrential downpour, giving Su Yun no chance to breathe.

In less than a moment, Su Yun was already in grave danger.

If it weren’t for the fact that his Daoist robe was a top-tier defensive treasure, he might have already perished on the spot. Only

now

did Su Yun truly understand the vast difference between himself and the powerhouses on the Immortal Emperor Stele.

On the other side, other cultivators also launched an attack, surrounding the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

The true disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect were incredibly powerful; any one of them was comparable to the most elite level below the Immortal Emperor’s Tablet.

Unfortunately,

they faced far too many cultivators.

Moreover,

among them were many veteran Immortal Emperors who had lived for countless years.

These Immortal Emperors, having lived for so long, possessed unfathomable strength.

Given their inferior strength and numbers, the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s situation was far from optimistic.

Of course—

even so—

the other cultivators dared not truly kill them, at most only injuring or severely damaging them.

After all, in the struggle for opportunities, severely injuring a true disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect was not a big deal, but killing one was a completely different matter.

Although the Jiang family was at the forefront, they did not want a true fight to the death with the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

However, while

the other cultivators had their concerns, the Jiang family had none.

In a short while, Jiang Yunwang seized the opportunity, decapitating a severely injured disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect with a single sword strike. Blood gushed forth, instantly enraging the other Taiyi Immortal Sect disciples.

“Stop—”

A Taiyi Immortal Sect disciple tried to intervene, but Jiang Yunwang gave him no chance. With a flick of his sword, sword energy shattered the furious head, completely obliterating even the soul.

This scene

naturally made the other Taiyi Immortal Sect disciples’ eyes bloodshot with rage.

Other cultivators were also secretly shocked. Some cultivators

unaware of the feud between the two families did not expect the Jiang family to dare to use such a deadly attack.

“Pfft!” Seeing one of his disciples fall, Su Yun lost his composure. He was no match for Jiang Yunchuan to begin with, and now, with his composure compromised, he was severely injured by the latter. A single sword

strike pierced through the Daoist robe’s defenses, penetrating his chest.

Then,

sword energy exploded.

Su Yun’s body instantly exploded.

But just as his body shattered, his divine soul transformed into a blood-red light, detaching from his physical form and fleeing into the void.

“Die!”

Seeing Su Yun about to escape, Jiang Yunchuan’s eyes turned icy cold. He immediately attacked, determined to kill him on the spot.

However—

just as Jiang Yunchuan was about to strike, a terrifying force suddenly descended. Destructive purple lightning tore through layers of space, bombarding him, causing his expression to change instantly.

The sword strike that was originally aimed at Su Yun now changed direction, fiercely slashing towards the falling purple divine lightning.

“Boom!!!” The towering sword light collided with the purple lightning, a terrifying shockwave spreading outwards, shattering any space it touched instantly.

Jiang Yunchuan’s body trembled, and he involuntarily retreated.

Immediately afterward,

even more divine lightning crashed into the battlefield, forcing all the cultivators besieging the Taiyi Immortal Sect to retreat.

Some cultivators who couldn’t dodge in time had their physical bodies annihilated by the lightning, their souls unable to escape.

At this moment,

all the cultivators had to stop.

When the lightning dissipated,

the figure of a white-robed Daoist slowly emerged.

Upon seeing this figure, the pupils of the other cultivators shrank sharply.

“Luo Xinghe!”

The Daoist disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect! Luo Xinghe, ranked fourth on the Immortal Emperor Stele!

Although their side had the advantage in numbers and were confident they weren’t afraid of the opponent, Luo Xinghe’s reputation and the methods he had just displayed still instinctively instilled fear in some cultivators.

On the other side,

Jiang Yuntang and Jiang Yunwang retreated to Jiang Yunchuan’s side.

Upon seeing Luo Xinghe’s appearance, the latter’s eyes were solemn, with a hint of regret in them.

What a pity!

If the opponent had arrived even a little later, this battle could have wiped out all the true disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Without the other true disciples, Luo Xinghe alone greatly reduced the threat.

But there was nothing they could do.

The enemy has arrived.

It’s no longer possible to wipe out the other true disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
