Terran Guardian - Chapter 4016

Chapter 3991 Physical Achievement: You are the Profound Heaven Sword Master Shen Changqing!

“Retreat!”

Jiang Yunchuan transmitted his thoughts, and Jiang Yunwang and Jiang Yuntang turned and fled without hesitation.

At the same time,

Jiang Yunchuan also retreated.

From the moment Luo Xinghe appeared, he knew that things were hopeless. They had no confidence in dealing with

Luo Xinghe alone . If they included the other true disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, they had no chance of winning at all. If they couldn’t win, they could only retreat! As for the other cultivators, they were no longer reliable. If Luo Xinghe hadn’t come, the Jiang family’s reputation and the advantage of the Taixu Creation Fruit could have incited these cultivators to attack. But now that Luo Xinghe had arrived and shocked everyone with his thunderous methods, it was enough to terrify the other cultivators. At this point, the other cultivators had lost their morale and were of little use. However— the Jiang family wanted to leave, but Luo Xinghe didn’t give them a chance at all. “Since you’re all here, why rush to leave!” With a flick of his sleeve, the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams appeared, wielding immense power that suppressed the starry sky, making the three members of the Jiang family feel as if they were mired in a quagmire. The Nine Palaces Suppressing Boundary! This divine power, combining offense, suppression, and defense, was completely different in Luo Xinghe’s hands compared to Su Yun’s. “Break!!” Jiang Yunchuan’s face was grim, but he didn’t give up. He summoned his immortal sword, its sword intent reaching the heavens, as if a phantom of an immortal herb was being nurtured. Then, stars crumbled. “Boom!!!” The river of sword energy cleaved through the starry sky; even the power of the Nine Palaces Suppressing Boundary couldn’t completely seal it off, and it was forcibly cleaved open. The unstoppable sword energy surged towards Luo Xinghe’s face. Finally, a hint of emotion appeared on the latter’s usually calm face. Even so, Luo Xinghe didn’t make any major moves. He simply pushed out his right hand, and the purple divine lightning shattered the void, instantly dissipating the river of sword energy. The domineering purple divine lightning traversed space, arriving before Jiang Yunchuan in the blink of an eye. Jiang Yunchuan naturally swung his sword to block. “Boom—” The two forces collided, and the destructive shockwave spread in all directions. Jiang Yunchuan groaned, his body retreating several steps. The tiger’s mouth of his hand gripping the sword hilt cracked, and upon closer inspection, there was a scorched black mark on his palm, as if the flesh had been carbonized. “What a Luo Xinghe! No wonder he’s the fourth-ranked genius on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele!” He looked at Luo Xinghe, took a deep breath, and suppressed his shock. As a genius ranked sixty-ninth on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele, Jiang Yunchuan knew that the gap between him and Luo Xinghe was considerable. But no matter what, in his opinion, he could still contend with him. But now that they were actually fighting, Jiang Yunchuan realized that his thinking was naive. The fourth-ranked Immortal Emperor Stele was far more valuable than anything he could match. The difference in their strength was so vast it was almost despairing. “I’ve long admired the reputation of the Grass-Character Sword Scripture, and seeing it today, it truly is extraordinary. Among the many Immortal Emperors in the world, only a handful can break through my Nine Palaces Suppressing Realm with a single sword strike. It’s a pity you don’t possess the Innate Immortal Body; otherwise, the outcome of this battle would be uncertain!” Seeing Jiang Yunchuan withstand his Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, Luo Xinghe’s eyes showed a hint of admiration. Just as he said, very few Immortal Emperors could truly break through the Nine Palaces Suppressing Realm with a single sword strike and withstand his Purple Heaven Divine Thunder. This wasn’t Luo Xinghe’s boast; it was the truth. Both the Nine Palaces Suppressing Realm and the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder were supreme divine abilities of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. Such power was not to be underestimated. Jiang Yunchuan remained silent, taking a step forward, his supreme sword energy slicing through the void, launching a preemptive attack on Luo Xinghe. Since he couldn’t dodge, he would fight! As for seeking survival through humility, that was absolutely impossible. Seeing this, Luo Xinghe’s expression remained unchanged. He stood on the void, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder surging forth, its terrifying power shattering layers of space, evolving into a sea of heavenly punishment lightning. Under the suppression of such absolute power, even if Jiang Yunchuan went all out, he couldn’t gain the slightest advantage. However— as a prodigy of the Jiang family, Jiang Yunchuan had quite a few trump cards. Even though some top-tier treasures were difficult to use under the suppression of the Dao Venerable rules, he still took out one after another top-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts. Unfortunately, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder was exceptionally domineering. Each bolt of lightning could damage these Emperor Immortal artifacts. Several bolts of divine thunder could shatter even top-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts. In a short time, Jiang Yunchuan had used thirteen top-grade Emperor Immortal level defensive treasures. This scene, witnessed by the other Immortal Emperors, made their eyes turn red with envy. “Is this the foundation of an unparalleled power?” “It’s a pity I wasn’t born into such a power, otherwise I would surely have reached the pinnacle of immortality!!” Top-grade Emperor Immortal Artifacts! Any one of them would be enough to drive many Immortal Emperors mad. Many top Immortal Emperors, even if they exhausted all their resources, couldn’t produce a single top-grade Emperor Immortal Artifact. Now, Jiang Yunchuan possesses one top-grade Emperor Immortal Artifact after another, seemingly endless, how could it not make people envious? Even Luo Xinghe’s expression was somewhat unpleasant at this moment. He originally thought he could easily suppress Jiang Yunchuan, so what if the other party was a prodigy of the Jiang family? Not an Innate Immortal Body! Ultimately, he was still lacking. After all, the biggest difference of an Innate Immortal Body is that the strength of a cultivator with an Immortal Body can surpass all others of the same level. Ordinary non-Immortal Body cultivators, unless they possess top-tier bloodlines, might be able to contend with an Innate Immortal Body to some extent, but only to some extent. It is undeniable that the Jiang family bloodline is powerful. Jiang Yunchuan’s bloodline is also extraordinary.

However, in Luo Xinghe’s view, this level of bloodline foundation was still somewhat insufficient. The problem was, though.

His opponent was wielding one defensive treasure after another; truly suppressing him was no easy task.

Outside, Luo Xinghe wouldn’t have considered such defensive treasures a threat.

But within the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, destroying a top-grade Emperor Immortal artifact wasn’t so simple.

Furthermore—

from Jiang Yunchuan’s actions, Luo Xinghe had a vague premonition.

His opponent seemed to be deliberately stalling for time, but he didn’t know the purpose.

After all

, no matter how you looked at it, stalling for time didn’t seem to have much effect.

Thinking this,

Luo Xinghe dismissed the thought, took a step into the air, and instantly appeared before Jiang Yunchuan. He swung his right palm, directly striking an ancient cauldron.

“Boom—” A powerful force erupted from his palm, causing the ancient cauldron to groan before shattering into pieces.

But at the very moment the ancient cauldron shattered, a surge of light appeared around Jiang Yunchuan, and a seven-colored robe of Daoist light emerged, completely neutralizing the aftershocks.

“Destroying a top-grade Emperor Immortal artifact with a single palm strike, Luo Daozi’s strength is truly admirable!”

“Why bother? No matter how many treasures you possess, they will eventually run out. If you surrender, I might spare your life!”

As Luo Xinghe spoke, he attacked again, his domineering power striking the Daoist robe, causing the seven-colored light to tremble violently, but it never truly shattered.

Hearing this,

Jiang Yunchuan smiled faintly: “My Jiang family never surrenders. As for how many treasures I possess, that’s none of Luo Daozi’s concern.

If you want to defeat me, break through your treasures first!”

“Fine, then I’ll see how much more you have!”

Luo Xinghe’s expression was displeased. He summoned a whisk, and with a casual flick, countless silver threads fell like stars, slamming into the Daoist robe.

This terrifying power caused the seven-colored light to tremble violently, and the once intact Daoist robe was now torn in a corner.

Jiang Yunchuan’s brow twitched at the sight. The Daoist robe he wore was far beyond ordinary top-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts; it had survived several tribulations and was comparable to a half-step Innate Emperor Weapon.

Now, Luo Xinghe’s single move had damaged such a treasure, further shocking Jiang Yunchuan.

If it weren’t for the numerous treasures protecting him, he would have already perished.

Even so,

he couldn’t hold out for long.

Luo Xinghe was right about one thing: the number of treasures was ultimately finite.

Even though Jiang Yunchuan came from the Jidu Jiang family, with a powerful background, treasures of this level couldn’t truly be inexhaustible.

Once the treasures were used up, he would be defeated.

Now,

he could only try to buy time and wait for the reinforcements his ancestor had spoken of.

Otherwise,

the three of them would likely not be able to leave alive. As Jiang Yunchuan’s thoughts raced, the situation changed rapidly.

Luo Xinghe unleashed his supreme treasure, a terrifying power that even a half-step innate imperial weapon would find difficult to withstand.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Daoist robe shattered.

However,

the instant the robe shattered, Jiang Yunchuan, almost without any seamless transition, activated his next protective supreme treasure, blocking Luo Xinghe’s fatal blow.

But the next instant ,

this treasure also crumbled.

“Delaying time is meaningless. Do you think your Jiang family still has another chance?”

Luo Xinghe shook his head slightly. As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed another attack, instantly shattering another defensive supreme treasure.

The residual force penetrated the treasure, and even though Jiang Yunchuan activated his new defensive treasure immediately, he was ultimately a fraction too slow, causing him to groan and a trickle of blood to escape from the corner of his mouth.

“Destroy!”

Luo Xinghe’s eyes were calm and unwavering. He flicked his whisk again, unleashing a power that shattered the void, about to crush this supreme treasure as well. Just as this power was about to strike, the void rippled and distorted slightly, and a figure in purple robes slowly appeared beside Jiang Yunchuan.

Looking at the whisk that came into view, the figure simply threw a punch with his right hand.

“Boom—!!!”

A power comparable to that of a savage beast erupted, all the silver threads trembled violently, and then shattered inch by inch.

A terrifying aura spread and swept in all directions at a visible speed.

Luo Xinghe’s previously calm expression finally changed.

The instant the whisk shattered, he directly unleashed a Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, a power comparable to heavenly punishment, surging towards the figure in purple robes.

Seeing this, the latter still threw a punch.

The invincible Purple Heaven Divine Thunder landed on his fist, leaving not even a trace.

On the contrary,

the power of that punch completely shattered the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

This scene caused Luo Xinghe’s pupils to contract sharply.

To withstand the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning with one’s bare body—this was the first time he had ever seen such a feat performed by a Celestial Emperor.

Before this,

Luo Xinghe would never have imagined that someone’s physical body could be so powerful.

Everything

happened in an instant.

Only then did the other cultivators react, and many Celestial Emperors looked at the purple-robed figure with shock in their eyes.

To withstand the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning with one’s bare body!

This level of power was completely beyond their reach.

“Physical Sainthood!”

“You are the Profound Heaven Sword Master Shen Changqing!”

Luo Xinghe slowly spoke, looking at the purple-robed figure, uttering these words. Upon hearing this,

many cultivators were even more shaken.

When they looked at the purple-robed figure again, their expressions were somewhat horrified.

The Profound Heaven Sword Master Shen Changqing!

This name was naturally very familiar to them.

However, not many cultivators had actually seen his true face.

It was only because Luo Xinghe recognized the newcomer at a glance that they understood his identity.

But upon reflection,

these cultivators quickly understood.

If there was anyone in the world who could withstand a single strike of the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning head-on, it would perhaps only be the Xuan Tian Sword Master.

The prestige of being number one on the Immortal Emperor Stele was ultimately incomparable to that of other Immortal Emperors.

Even the other geniuses on the Immortal Emperor Stele, even those ranked higher than Luo Xinghe, might not have been able to withstand the power of the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning so easily. On the other side,

Jiang Yunchuan was also deeply shaken.

He never expected that the support his ancestor had mentioned would be this being who had reached the top of the Immortal Emperor Stele.

However—

if that were the case, then everything made sense.

What kind of being could solve all troubles?

Even facing the other top ten on the Immortal Emperor Stele would be no problem.

If the other party was the number one ranked being on the Immortal Emperor Stele, it would naturally be reasonable.

After all, being

number one on the Immortal Emperor

Stele was the strongest being in the Immortal Emperor realm.

Calling him the number one Immortal Emperor wouldn’t be an exaggeration at all. Before truly witnessing Shen Changqing’s strength, Jiang Yunchuan still harbored some curiosity and skepticism about the prestige of being ranked first on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele.

But now—

he had no doubts whatsoever. Jiang Yunchuan

knew all too well the power of the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning. Even

when he went all out, he could barely withstand a single bolt of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, yet the other party, without using any supreme treasures or divine abilities, could shatter it with a single punch using only his physical strength, without sustaining any injury.

Such strength was terrifying.

“The strength of the Daoist of the Taiyi Immortal Sect is truly admirable, and the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning lives up to its reputation!”

Shen Changqing flicked his right hand; the power of the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning was indeed extraordinary. Although it couldn’t break through his defenses, it still made him feel a slight numbness.

But these words sounded somewhat insulting to Luo Xinghe.

He looked at Shen Changqing, his expression somewhat gloomy.

“This is a feud between my Taiyi Immortal Sect and the Jiang family. Do you really intend to interfere?”
