Terran Guardian - Chapter 4051

Chapter 4026: Sweeping Through the Ancestral Court of the Heavenly Demons

The Nine-Star Mace was incredibly powerful, containing the power of the Nine Star Rivers, far beyond what a Celestial Emperor could withstand.

The instant the bronze mace shattered, Nangong Tu’s right hand, which had been gripping it, exploded, his flesh and bones crumbling into dust.

Just as he was about to perish, an ancient and powerful aura began to emanate from his body, and a majestic phantom appeared.

“I am the Demon Saint of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court, Zhenyue! What cultivator dares to harm my son—”

The ancient phantom had barely begun to speak when, gazing at the Nine-Star Mace hurtling towards him, it was about to intervene when a look of horror flashed in its eyes.

The next instant

, the phantom twisted violently, as if forcibly erased by an unseen force.

Nangong Tu’s heart, which had just settled, tightened again, his eyes filled with terror.

“I am the son of the Zhenyue Demon Saint of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court. If you kill me, my father will never let you go—”

“Boom!”

Before Nangong Tu could finish speaking, the Nine-Star Mace had already struck his opponent. This son of the Zhenyue Demon Saint of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court was instantly shattered into pieces, and even his soul was annihilated in an instant.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere!

The other cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing this scene.

Nangong Tu was dead!

The dignified son of the Zhenyue Demon Saint had perished before their very eyes!

If this news were to reach the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court, they would all be held responsible.

Furthermore—

Nangong Tu was undoubtedly the strongest among all the cultivators, yet he couldn’t withstand a single blow from Shen Changqing. The latter’s strength naturally shocked them.

But before the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court could make a move, Shen Changqing had already begun his massacre.

He naturally showed no mercy to these cultivators from other realms.

The Nine-Star Mace struck.

Any cultivator who touched it was instantly annihilated; all protective treasures were utterly powerless against the Nine-Star Mace.

“Boom!”

A cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court exploded, instantly turning into minced meat.

The other Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court cultivators were horrified and enraged.

“Kill him! No matter how strong he is, he’s still just one person. With his strength, how long can he wield this treasure? Once his power is exhausted, he will die!”

“The Holy Son Nangong has perished here. If this person isn’t killed, how will we explain to the Demon Saint?”

“Kill—”

Hearing these words, the other Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court cultivators who had initially hesitated to retreat instantly suppressed their fear and swarmed forward, wanting to surround and kill Shen Changqing.

The Demon Saint of Zhenyue needed an explanation!

But most importantly, it was the Nine-Star Mace in Shen Changqing’s hands. Such a supreme treasure naturally tempted them.

Whoever obtained it would greatly increase their strength and seize greater opportunities in this chaotic land.

If one were to obtain an unparalleled opportunity to greatly enhance their foundation, they would undoubtedly gain the favor of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court and might even rise to the ranks of Holy Sons.

Any cultivator qualified to enter the Chaos Dao Palace would be considered a prodigy in the outside world.

Prodigies!

They possess the arrogance and ambition of prodigies!

“Even a grain of rice can shine!”

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, completely disregarding the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court’s siege.

Not to mention anything else, his physical body, comparable to a Fourth Tribulation Half-Saint, was enough to sustain a long battle; the power of the Nine-Star Mace was far beyond what other Immortal Emperors could withstand.

As the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court launched their attack, Shen Changqing’s killing speed increased even further.

One mace, one Immortal Emperor from the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court; none could withstand a second blow.

In a short

time, dozens of Immortal Emperors from the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court had fallen.

The remaining cultivators, witnessing this scene, were terrified; their hard-won fighting spirit gradually faded away.

Soon

, with the fall of several more cultivators, the remaining cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court lost all will to fight and fled in panic.

They couldn’t fight!

They simply couldn’t fight!

If Shen Changqing had shown any signs of exhaustion or even injury, they would have seen a glimmer of hope.

But now,

he seemed tireless, his power inexhaustible, and his physical body astonishingly strong. Even innate imperial weapons couldn’t leave a scratch on him.

Meanwhile, their own side had lost dozens of Immortal Emperors.

Naturally,

the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court dared not continue their attack.

However—

the instant these cultivators retreated, Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, directly summoning the World-Stabilizing Bell. The moment the Creation Treasure was activated, a deep, resonant bell tolled, seemingly suppressing time and space.

A large number of Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court cultivators froze, then exploded into a bloody mist, perishing on the spot.

“A treasure of creation!!!”

A top Immortal Emperor from the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court looked terrified. At the critical moment, he crushed a jade talisman, and a celestial light of the Great Dao rose up, only to vanish in the next instant.

Immediately afterward,

the opponent’s body exploded.

Only a remnant soul escaped.

With this attack, almost all the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court were wiped out.

Looking at the few remnant souls that finally escaped, Shen Changqing did not pursue them further.

“The foundation of the geniuses from the outer realms is indeed not so simple!”

Although he could not fully activate the power of the World-Stabilizing Bell at the moment, that attack was enough to suppress many top-tier half-saints.

For an Immortal Emperor, it was naturally a dimensional reduction attack.

Even so,

some cultivators still managed to survive.

It can be seen that these geniuses have many trump cards.

At this time, the three members of the Jiang family also stepped forward. Jiang Yunchuan took a deep breath, his face full of awe.

“Thank you very much, Sword Master Shen, for your help. Otherwise, we would have been defeated by these cultivators from the outer realms!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

He glanced at the scattered limbs around him, his heart filled with even greater awe.

Jiang Yunchuan knew all too well the strength of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court.

Even suppressing Nangong Tu would be difficult for him.

Yet ,

Shen Changqing swept through the entire Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court with lightning speed.

Even though Jiang Yunchuan could see this was related to the supreme treasure in Shen Changqing’s possession, external treasures are still part of a cultivator’s own strength. Moreover , top-tier treasures aren’t something everyone can obtain. Without sufficient opportunity, one simply doesn’t have the right to even touch them. Furthermore— judging from Shen Changqing’s composed demeanor, Jiang Yunchuan knew very well that even without using any supreme treasures, the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court would inevitably be defeated in this battle. The strength of this Xuan Tian Sword Master was completely unmatched by other cultivators of the same realm. Shen Changqing smiled faintly: “Fellow Daoist Jiang, there’s no need to be so polite. I just wonder how much the Jiang family knows about this Chaotic Land?” “The Chaotic Land…” Jiang Yunchuan’s expression turned solemn as he spoke in a deep voice. “Our Jiang family doesn’t actually have many records of the Disorderly Land. After all, any cultivator who survives the Disorderly Land will eventually have their memories distorted, blurring the existence of the Disorderly Land. Only when they re-enter the Disorderly Land can their sealed memories be broken. The last time I entered the Disorderly Land, a powerful force from the outer realms was overwhelming, and most of the cultivators were slaughtered, with only a very few surviving. However, many powerful figures emerged from the Disorderly Land that time and made it into the top ten of the Immortal Emperor Stele. For example, the third-ranked Liuli Buddha Child Bao Chan on the Immortal Emperor Stele already made a name for himself in the last Disorderly Land!” Jiang Yunchuan’s words caused Shen Changqing’s expression to shift slightly. “So, Brother Jiang has already entered the Disorderly Land for the second time?” If I remember correctly, the last time the Crimson Jade Dao Palace opened was nine ancient immortal eras ago. One ancient immortal era is a billion years. The lifespan of an Immortal Emperor is only ten ancient immortal eras. However, to enter the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, one must at least possess the strength of a top-tier Immortal Emperor. If one is too weak, entering the Crimson Jade Dao Palace is tantamount to suicide. In other words , Jiang Yunchuan’s lifespan is far older than that of an ordinary Immortal Emperor. However, Shen Changqing found this normal. While it’s difficult for ordinary Immortal Emperors to extend their lifespan, for supreme powers, extending an Immortal Emperor’s lifespan is not a difficult task. Furthermore, for an Immortal Emperor to achieve immortality is a transformation of their life level. Many cultivators with exceptional talent dare not claim they can break through to the Half-Saint realm with 100% certainty. This is why Half-Saints are so rare. Compared to the number of Immortal Emperors, Half-Saints are already considered exceptional. What Shen Changqing didn’t expect was that the Glazed Buddha Child was also a prodigy who had lived a second life. This made him understand why the opening of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, involving the opportunity for immortality, could draw so many prodigies to risk their lives. Immortality is difficult to attain! Even top prodigies must fight with all their might to seize this opportunity. To be honest, Shen Changqing didn’t really understand this. For him, breaking through to immortality wasn’t difficult. What was holding him back wasn’t a bottleneck in his foundation, but rather the wrong timing. Of course— the higher one’s cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. Saints! Great Saints! Each step, without a great opportunity, relying solely on one’s own talent to break through realms, is by no means easy. While Shen Changqing was deep in thought, Jiang Yunchuan continued, “That’s right. This is my second time entering the Chaotic Land. Anyway, Sword Master Shen only needs to remember that the more foreign cultivators you kill in the Chaotic Land, the better. The higher your ranking on the Ascension Ranking, the greater the opportunities you’ll receive. In fact, if such profound opportunities accumulate to a certain level, they can allow cultivators to ignore the suppression of the Great Tribulation and directly reach the pinnacle of immortality!” Jiang Yunchuan’s words made Shen Changqing’s eyes flash with brilliance. Ignore the Great Tribulation! Directly reach the pinnacle of immortality! At this moment, Shen Changqing’s heart was also shaken. It still comes down to the same point. The biggest obstacle preventing him from achieving immortality now lies in the Great Tribulation. Without the arrival of the Great Tribulation, immortality remains elusive , making it difficult to reach the Half-Saint realm. However, if one could find an opportunity to break through to immortality in the Chaotic Land, that would be a different story. Breaking through to immortality sooner would provide more protection. After all, he has offended too many forces, and his Immortal Emperor realm cultivation is no longer sufficient. If he could break through to the Half-Saint realm, with his current trump cards, Shen Changqing would have more confidence to deal with other troubles.
