Terran Guardian - Chapter 4052

Chapter 4027 This is a Saint’s Puppet!!

“However—”

“Such things are ultimately just rumors; whether they are true or false, this humble Daoist has no way of knowing.

Last time in the Chaotic Land, some cultivators accumulated tens of thousands of strands of Creation Profound Mechanism, but none of them managed to reach this point!”

Jiang Yunchuan added at the end.

Shen Changqing, upon hearing this, remained calm: “If we slaughter all the cultivators from the outer realms, we will naturally know whether it is true or false!”

Ten thousand strands of Creation Profound Mechanism are not enough, then one hundred thousand!

One hundred thousand are not enough!

Then one million!

Shen Changqing had no doubt that the vast number of cultivators from the outer realms could contribute one million strands of Creation Profound Mechanism.

After all, simply slaughtering the entire Ascension Ranking would yield over one million strands of Creation Profound Mechanism.

But there is a prerequisite:

that no other cultivators would compete with him.

In addition—

from the Longevity Token, Shen Changqing also knew one thing.

Only by killing cultivators from the outer realms could one obtain Creation Profound Mechanism; killing cultivators on his own side was of no use.

Although there were many cultivators from the outer realms, there were also quite a few cultivators on his own side.

They would fight each other.

Gathering a million strands of Creation Essence is indeed no easy feat.

Hearing Shen Changqing’s nonchalant words, Jiang Yunchuan’s heart skipped a beat.

He didn’t doubt the truth of Shen Changqing’s words; after all, with this man’s strength, he might truly be able to achieve such a feat.

“Since Fellow Daoist Jiang has already entered the Chaotic Land twice, you should be quite familiar with this place. If you encounter any formidable external experts later, you can contact me at any time,”

Shen Changqing said to Jiang Yunchuan in a deep voice.

The Chaotic Land is so vast that finding those top-ranked external experts is no easy task.

External cultivators ranked lower on the Ascension Ranking are naturally inferior to those ranked higher.

After all,

cultivators ranked below five thousand only receive an extra one hundred strands of Creation Essence from those on the Ascension Ranking.

If one could kill a top ten Ascension Ranking cultivator, one could obtain at least fifteen hundred strands of Creation Essence—that’s the difference.

As for the Creation Essence contributed by the cultivator themselves, it’s insignificant.

After all, even a top-tier Immortal Emperor only contributes four strands of Creation Profound Secrets.

Compared to that,

it’s naturally not as useful as hunting down cultivators from other regions on the Ascension Ranking.

Hearing this,

Jiang Yunchuan and the others naturally wouldn’t refuse.

If there were any powerful figures they couldn’t handle, having this person take action would be much easier.

In critical moments,

it would be a life-saving trump card.

…

“Nangong Tu is dead!”

In a valley in the Chaotic Land, a young man looked at the dim name on the Ascension Ranking, his brows furrowing slightly. When

a cultivator on the Ascension Ranking falls, their name doesn’t disappear but remains there.

Only when another cultivator obtains more Creation Profound Secrets can they be pushed off.

The purpose of this is to prevent cultivators from repeatedly climbing the Ascension Ranking.

After all—

the ranking on the Ascension Ranking determines the amount of Creation Profound Secrets.

If a cultivator were to truly start from the beginning and slaughter the rankings, the Creation Profound Secrets they obtained would inevitably be terrifying.

“Nangong Tu’s strength was average, but he was still a top expert on the Prodigy Ranking. It’s said that many cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court entered this time, but he fell so quickly.

Interesting… It seems there are top experts in the Outer Realms too!”

As this thought crossed his mind, Jun Tianli glanced at the Outer Realms Ascension Ranking, his gaze immediately locking onto a name.

“Third on the Ascension Ranking, Shen Changqing… If I remember correctly, he was originally only tenth on the Ascension Ranking, but now he’s jumped to third in a short time.

So, it’s very likely that Nangong Tu fell to him!”

The Xuan Tian Sword Master, Shen Changqing!

This name

was familiar to him.

When he killed many Outer Realms cultivators, he also used Soul Search, gaining sufficient knowledge about the Outer Realms cultivators in this Chaotic Land.

And the name Xuan Tian Sword Master, Shen Changqing, appeared most frequently.

The First Immortal Emperor!

The expert who topped the Outer Realms Immortal Emperor Stele!

“I just wonder how much strength this First Immortal Emperor of the Outer Realms truly possesses!”

Jun Tianli murmured to himself, then glanced at his own side’s Ascension Ranking again.

“Almost there!”

“Kill another batch of cultivators, and I’ll reach the top spot. Gu Jianchen… Hmph!”

Jun Tianli’s eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

Then,

he grabbed the rare and precious plant growing there with a wave of his hand and took it away, then turned and left.

…

“Amitabha!”

The earth was bathed in Buddhist light, and the image of the supreme Buddha illuminated the sky. Bao Chan was now transformed into an angry Vajra, fighting with a cultivator.

If the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor were here, he would recognize that this person was Huangfu Xuance.

The latter stood firmly on the ground, his physical body and blood energy as powerful as an abyss. Every punch and palm strike was filled with astonishing power. Bao Chan was the same.

With each breath, the two exchanged blows no less than a million times. Terrifying shockwaves swept in all directions, turning the space in their path into dust.

“Boom—”

Another punch was thrown out, and the two bodies trembled. Huangfu Xuance took several steps back, his face showing great satisfaction.

“Very well, very well! It’s been a long time since anyone has been able to rival me in terms of physical strength. Slaying a prodigy like you is what I truly desire!”

As Huangfu Xuance spoke, he took another step forward, continuing his assault on Bao Chan.

He didn’t use any supreme treasures, but instead aimed to suppress and kill his opponent head-on with absolute power.

On the other side,

Bao Chan’s expression was also somewhat serious. His fists, hanging in his sleeves, were clenched tightly. If one looked closely, one could see imperceptible cracks, within which blood flowed like glass.

He ultimately hadn’t truly reached the level of physical sainthood; a half-step physical sainthood was inferior to a true physical saint.

Huangfu Xuance before him had clearly already taken that step.

The difference in their physical strength was obvious.

Only because Bao Chan’s foundation was strong enough could she contend with him physically for so long; any other cultivator would have been defeated long ago.

Even so, Bao Chan felt that his physical body was nearing its limit.

Seeing Huangfu Xuance charging towards him, he uttered a Buddhist chant again, his right hand extending out five fingers, his supreme Daoist aura manifesting a vast Buddhist kingdom, instantly enveloping the former.

“Fellow Daoist Huangfu, your strength is remarkable. Please experience this Buddhist kingdom in my palm!”

Within the Buddhist kingdom, Bao Chan’s Dharma image sat cross-legged in the heavens, like a supreme deity who created the world. Below him sat hundreds of Buddhas in meditation, each with a different expression, but without exception, all of them were looking at Bao Chan.

“A Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand… You think you can trap me with mere Daoist supernatural powers? Wishful thinking!”

Huangfu Xuance laughed in fury, completely unafraid of such supernatural powers. With a single step, he unleashed the Dharma Heaven and Earth Transformation supernatural power, his body suddenly becoming enormous, as if capable of bursting the entire Buddha Kingdom apart.

However,

this Buddha Kingdom was empowered by Bao Chan’s own power, and no matter how much Huangfu Xuance’s body expanded, it could not break through the Buddha Kingdom’s limit.

But at this moment,

the other Buddhas all attacked simultaneously, assaulting Huangfu Xuance.

“A feint!”

Huangfu Xuance sneered, then threw a punch at one of the Buddhas, sending it flying.

But the next instant,

the smile on Huangfu Xuance’s face froze.

The Buddha who had been sent flying showed no physical damage whatsoever; his all-out attack had failed to completely kill him.

This scene

made his expression turn ugly.

“Half-Saint Puppets!!”

Only now did Huangfu Xuance suddenly realize that these Buddhas were not formed from Bao Chan’s own power, but were true half-saint puppets.

At a glance,

there were no fewer than a hundred such Buddhas.

In other words

, they were created by the opponent by collecting the remains of a hundred half-saints.

Understanding this, Huangfu Xuance couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Half-saint realm experts!

Even in the Nine Heavens Divine Court, they held considerable status.

Collecting the remains of a hundred half-saints was no easy feat.

At this moment,

he felt incredibly troubled.

But before Huangfu Xuance could think too much, the numerous Buddhas had already attacked. Seeing this, he disregarded everything and directly summoned a black-gold ancient sword. Its chilling light cleaved through space, instantly severing the arm of a Buddha.

However,

no blood gushed from the wound.

Huangfu Xuance, however, paid no heed. He took a step forward, wielding his supreme treasure, and before the Buddha could react, he cleaved it in two.

“So what if they’re half-saint puppets? Once I’ve wiped them all out, let’s see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!”

Huangfu Xuance roared, his black-gold ancient blade unstoppable. Even a half-saint’s remains couldn’t withstand a direct strike.

He sliced through the Buddhas like vegetables, and in a short time, several Buddhas perished.

However,

Bao Chan remained calm, unmoved, silently watching the battle within the Buddhist kingdom.

As time passed, more and more Buddhas fell, and Huangfu Xuance’s fighting spirit intensified. His black-gold ancient blade seemed capable of severing the three thousand Great Daos; the sharpness of a top-tier divine weapon was something no ordinary half-saint could withstand.

Soon,

dozens of Buddhas perished.

But at that moment,

the void of the Buddhist kingdom trembled.

The only Buddha who hadn’t moved finally made his move. He arrived, his massive body, comparable to an ancient star, radiating an aura like a galaxy. His right fist slammed down.

“Boom!!!”

The terrifying power shattered layers of space. Huangfu Xuance raised his black-gold longsword, intending to sever the Buddha’s arm as before.

However—

when the Buddha’s fist collided with the black-gold longsword, the expected devastation didn’t occur. The black-gold longsword merely pierced the Buddha’s fist, becoming stuck on the finger bones, unable to advance any further.

Simultaneously, an immense force pressed down, causing Huangfu Xuance to groan, his hand gripping the hilt splitting open, his blood surging violently.

“Physical sainthood!”

“This power, this is not a half-saint puppet… this is a saint puppet!!”

Huangfu Xuance was horrified, but before he could be shocked for long, the Buddha attacked again. The terrifying power made this genius of the Nine Heavens Divine Court feel immense pressure.
