Terran Guardian - Chapter 4027

Chapter 4002: Seven-Colored Crystal

“Boom!”

Bao Chan’s white robes were stained with blood, his arms were mostly mangled, and his finger bones were shattered, but he still seized the opportunity to strike. He unleashed the full power of his nine-ringed staff, slamming it into the headless body of the black-haired ancient corpse.

A terrifying force erupted, and the already damaged body of the black-haired ancient corpse could no longer withstand such an attack, instantly shattering into pieces.

At the same time,

Shen Changqing cleaved the head of the black-haired ancient corpse with his axe, completely slaying the strange creature.

“Phew!”

Having slain the strange ancient corpse, Shen Changqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Such a creature was incredibly powerful; without using the Nine-Star Mace, he would have had a truly difficult time dealing with it alone.

On the other side,

Bao Chan swallowed a pill, and his injuries healed at a visible speed. In less than a moment, his injuries had recovered to eighty or ninety percent.

Then,

he flicked his finger, and a stream of light rushed towards Shen Changqing.

The latter reached out and grabbed it, finding a pale golden pill in his palm.

“Sword Master Shen, this is a sacred healing medicine refined by our Glazed Holy Land. It can also expel corpse poison. Although Sword Master Shen’s physical body has achieved sainthood, mere corpse poison is unlikely to be fatal.

However, to truly dispel it completely would require considerable effort. With this pill, you can save yourself a lot of trouble!”

Bao Chan said.

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing didn’t suspect anything, thanked her, and then swallowed the pill.

The next moment,

a warm, moist power surged from his abdomen, then spread throughout his limbs and bones. He felt an itch in his injured areas, and then saw the corpse poison gradually being wiped away, disappearing completely in a short time.

This change slightly shocked Shen Changqing.

He was naturally very familiar with the corpse poison left by the black-haired ancient corpse.

Logically speaking

, with his current physical strength, ordinary injuries could be healed instantly, even those considered severe injuries to other half-saints wouldn’t be difficult to recover from.

However…

Under the influence of the corpse poison, the wounds were never fully healed. The

poison was like a persistent, insidious infection, constantly corroding the surrounding flesh, which was then dispersed by the user’s own vital energy.

This cycle repeated itself ,

making a complete cure impossible in a short time.

This demonstrates the formidable nature of the black-haired ancient corpse’s corpse poison.

Yet, this level of poison was easily purified by a single pill; it’s clear that this healing pill must be extraordinary.

“The Glazed Sacred Land possesses profound resources; this is the first time I’ve ever seen such a pill!”

Shen Changqing remarked with admiration.

Bao Chan said, “This medicine is remarkably effective against corpse poison, specifically designed to deal with the strange ancient corpses in the Guixu Realm. I never expected it to actually come in handy now.

There are countless other strange beings like that black-haired ancient corpse in the Guixu Realm. If a few more appear, we’ll be in serious trouble.

This place is not safe to stay long; let’s leave!”

One black-haired ancient corpse was already troublesome enough; if a few more appeared, they might perish here.

Even with Bao Chan’s confidence, she dared not be careless.

After all,

the Guixu Realm was incredibly ancient.

No one knew how many powerful beings had perished here in the ancient times.

It wasn’t impossible for there to be beings even more powerful than the black-haired ancient corpse.

Hearing this,

Shen Changqing didn’t object, and the two immediately left.

Before leaving, Shen Changqing glanced at the remains of the black-haired ancient corpse but didn’t take them.

The black-haired ancient corpse belonged to a saint in life; these were considered the remains of a saint.

But unfortunately…

The corpse had undergone a strange transformation, already corroded by an eerie power. Taking such a saint’s remains out would be a huge problem. It

could easily become another forbidden zone for life.

This would be a devastating disaster for most cultivators.

Half a day later,

the void trembled and distorted.

An arm covered in red hair, unlike any human’s, reached out from the space, snatched the remains of the black-haired ancient corpse, and vanished instantly.

…

Time passed slowly.

The two continued to venture deeper into the Ruins of Return.

Having learned their lesson from the black-haired ancient corpse, both Shen Changqing and Bao Chan were now much more cautious.

Any ancient corpse blocking their path was instantly killed without any protracted fighting.

After an unknown amount of time,

the two finally stopped.

In the starry sky ahead, ancient stars stood silently, their existence unknown. These stars were enormous, their ends invisible.

When Shen Changqing stepped onto the star, he looked around and saw that its surface was pitted and uneven, with many remnants of ancient Daoist energy.

Bao Chan took out her compass and, guided by it, headed towards the depths of this star.

In a short while, the two stopped again.

“It’s here!”

Bao Chan pointed to the void ahead, where Buddhist light and Daoist aura swirled, and a powerful, albeit faint, restrictive force was present.

Shen Changqing, upon hearing this, looked at the location ahead. The Buddhist light and Daoist aura, as well as the restrictive force, were all ancient, but upon closer inspection, the latter was far more ancient than the former.

Unsurprisingly,

the Buddhist light and Daoist aura were placed later.

Clearly,

the powerful figures of the Glazed Holy Land discovered the restrictions here, but were unable to remove them immediately, thus leaving behind this Daoist restriction to guide those who came after.

As the thought crossed Shen Changqing’s mind, he saw Bao Chan cast a spell, instantly causing the Buddhist light and Daoist aura to vibrate before slowly dissipating.

At the same time,

the ancient restriction was fully revealed.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be found that these restrictions are also incomplete, with a corner of a celestial abode appearing within them.

Looking at a corner of the Immortal Abode before her, Bao Chan sighed, “Back then, our ancestor of the Glazed Holy Land discovered the restrictions here and spent a great deal of effort to break them, finding the remains of a saint hidden within.

Originally, that ancestor wanted to take the saint’s remains away, but due to some strange obstruction, he had to abandon them and leave them for another time.

However, unexpectedly, so many years have passed, and numerous cultivators from the Glazed Holy Land have entered the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, yet none have been able to reach this place.

If we can find those saint’s remains this time, it will fulfill our long-cherished wish!”

With that,

Bao Chan stepped forward and entered the Immortal Abode first, followed by Shen Changqing.

The Immortal Abode was teeming with life, its powerful Daoist aura suppressing heaven and earth. An ancient being, ten thousand feet tall, sat cross-legged there, its ancient and boundless aura overwhelming everything, causing the two to pause slightly in their breathing.

“This is… an ancient god!”

Upon seeing this being, Shen Changqing’s pupils constricted slightly, immediately recognizing the identity of the being before him.

Ancient Gods!

Shen Changqing was all too familiar with this aura.

After all,

he had already killed more than one Ancient God.

Their auras were essentially from the same source.

However—

the power of those Ancient Gods was worlds apart from that of the Ancient God before him.

This terrifying pressure made it difficult to breathe even at the slightest approach.

The moment he saw the corpse of the Ancient God before him, Shen Changqing even felt his blood tremble.

It wasn’t fear!

It was an instinctive reaction to facing a powerful being!

Even though this Ancient God had been dead for countless years, the remaining power was still earth-shattering.

Even Bao Chan, standing to the side, gasped when she saw the corpse of this Ancient God, her usually calm face showing a rare look of horror.

“Ancient God Clan!”

“I never expected there to be a corpse of an Ancient God Clan here!!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing’s expression turned to surprise: “Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps unaware?”

Bao Chan shook her head and smiled bitterly: “That ancestor only stated that there was a Saint’s remains here, and left little other information.

I never imagined that the Saint’s remains here would be those of an Ancient God Clan member at the Saint Realm!”

This is an Ancient God Clan member!

The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm reveres the Human Race and the Demon Race, but if we were to delve deeper, the Demon Race contains countless other races.

Among them,

some Demon Race members are born with powerful bloodlines, extraordinary talent, and strength that is difficult to match for those of the same level.

However, even those Demon Race members with top-tier bloodlines are not necessarily comparable to the Ancient God Clan.

The latter are born with formidable strength, and their bloodlines are extremely powerful.

It is only because the Ancient God Clan is rare that, compared to the Human Race and the Demon Race, they are far inferior.

Otherwise,

the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm would revere the Ancient God Clan.

As relics of saints, those of a sage from the Primordial God Clan are undoubtedly far more powerful than ordinary saints.

Such a pleasant surprise left Bao Chan somewhat overwhelmed with excitement.

However—

the other party was, after all, a Buddhist disciple of the Glazed Holy Land, the third-ranked genius on the Immortal Emperor Stele; his Dao heart was naturally stable. After taking a few deep breaths and silently reciting a few Buddhist scriptures, his heart gradually calmed down.

“Sword Master Shen, according to the original agreement, this saint’s relic belongs to this humble monk, and the saint’s Dao Fruit left behind belongs to you. Does Sword Master Shen have any objections to this?”

“Of course not!”

Shen Changqing nodded.

To be honest, he was also very tempted by the relics of a sage from the Primordial God Clan.

Relics of this level from the Primordial God Clan were supreme treasures; obtaining them would greatly help his cultivation of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture.

However—

Shen Changqing naturally wouldn’t go back on his promise.

Besides…

The remains of ancient divine beings are precious, and the Dao Fruits they left behind are equally extraordinary.

The more powerful the being, the more top-tier the Dao Fruits they leave behind.

Seeing Shen Changqing’s actions, Bao Chan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he had any other ideas, things would have been troublesome.

Since he was willing to keep his promise, it was for the best.

Immediately,

Bao Chan made his move. His vast immortal power landed on the remains of the saint, and he saw the Dao aura of the latter’s body tremble slightly. In less than a moment, a seven-colored crystal was formed from the top of his head.

The moment the seven-colored crystal was fully formed, Shen Changqing reached out and grabbed it from a distance.
