Terran Guardian - Chapter 4062

Chapter 4037: Riddled with Holes

Not a single person made a move!

Not because they didn’t want to,

but because they dared not!

Tens of thousands of Immortal Emperors from the outer realms had already suffered heavy losses, with thousands more lying dead here. The fourteen prodigies before the Immortal Emperor Stele had joined forces, only to suffer three deaths and one injury.

Given this, who dared to even consider it?

Even the most confident among them knew their strength was inferior to Luo Xinghe and the others.

After all,

among Immortal Emperors,

anyone who could enter the top ten of the Immortal Emperor Stele was practically the most elite among them.

As for whether Shen Changqing had exhausted himself after fighting for so long, no one dared to gamble.

The reason was simple:

they couldn’t afford to gamble!

His ruthless methods were deeply etched in the minds of the other cultivators; no one could guarantee whether Shen Changqing was truly exhausted.

Moreover, even

a weakened camel is bigger than a horse.

Even if he was truly exhausted, the strength he could muster was beyond the reach of any other Immortal Emperor.

Therefore,

naturally, no one dared to throw their life away.

Just then…

Shen Jianxin stepped forward, looked at Shen Changqing, and said in a deep voice, “I have witnessed the skills of Sword Master Shen in today’s battle, and I admire him greatly.

However, since Sword Master Shen has been fighting for so long, it would be dishonorable for me to intervene. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will certainly seek your guidance!” After

saying this ,

Shen Jianxin turned and left.

The other cultivators from the Pure Yang Sword Sect exchanged glances and also left.

If this swordsman had intervened, they would have followed suit.

But

Shen Jianxin did not intervene.

Naturally, they had no confidence to intervene.

Watching Shen Jianxin leave, Shen Changqing’s expression remained unchanged. He did not say a word, nor did he try to stop him.

Whether the other party feared his strength or truly did not want to gain an advantage, he did not care. If

Shen Jianxin had intervened,

then there would have been one more soul lost in the Burial Immortal Ruins today.

But since the other party wisely left, Shen Changqing would not create another enemy for himself.

As Shen Jianxin departed, the other cultivators had no intention of intervening. Some turned and left immediately, while others bowed politely, hoping to make an impression on Shen Changqing before leaving. In

a short while,

only the cultivators from the Glazed Holy Land and the Jiang family remained outside the Burial Immortal Ruins.

“This battle has truly broadened my horizons. All the geniuses from the outer realms have perished here. Sword Master Shen has enhanced our reputation. If needed in the future, Sword Master Shen can certainly send a message, and I will do my utmost without hesitation,”

Bao Chan said solemnly to Shen Changqing after glancing at the battlefield of the Burial Immortal Ruins. Shen Changqing nodded slightly and simply said “Good.” Seeing this,

Bao Chan said nothing more and then led the cultivators from the Glazed Holy Land away. He wanted to help, but the Glazed Holy Land was not a matter he could decide alone. Of course— if Shen Changqing were truly facing a life-or-death threat, he would naturally not stand idly by. However… Shen Changqing’s strength still exceeded Bao Chan’s expectations. He thought he had overestimated Shen Changqing’s strength as much as possible, but only now, after the battle at the Burial Immortal Ruins, did this Glazed Buddha suddenly realize that he had still underestimated his opponent. The strength Shen Changqing had displayed in the past was only the tip of the iceberg compared to now. It was hard to imagine that the gap between two geniuses, both ranked among the top ten of the Immortal Emperor Stele, could be so great. As the cultivators of the Glazed Holy Land left, Jiang Yunchuan stepped forward, looking at the blood-stained yellow sand and the remains of many outer realm Immortal Emperors. A look of horror flashed in the eyes of this Jiang family genius. “Sword Master Shen!” “Thank you very much, fellow Daoist.” Seeing Jiang Yunchuan arrive, a faint smile appeared on Shen Changqing’s indifferent face. He had naturally witnessed the scene of Jiang Yunchuan fighting Luo Xinghe. In this battle, Jiang Yunchuan was the only one who stepped in to help. For both reason and duty, Shen Changqing could not take it lightly. In response, Jiang Yunchuan laughed and said, “Sword Master Shen, you flatter me. Even if I didn’t intervene, Luo Xinghe alone wouldn’t be a threat to you. Among the top geniuses of all the past Immortal Emperors, I doubt anyone can compare to Sword Master Shen in strength. In this battle, almost all the top geniuses from the outer realms have perished. It seems the outer realms have no hope left in this battle in the Chaotic Land. However, with the deaths of geniuses like Bei Hong, the two Demon Courts will likely not let this go easily. Sword Master Shen, you need to make plans for this matter soon!” When he mentioned the two Demon Courts, Jiang Yunchuan’s expression became somewhat solemn. After all, the two Demon Courts were not weak, and now that Bei Hong and Tian Yue had both fallen, how could they possibly let it go? Shen Changqing’s smile faded, and a chill appeared in his eyes: “Those who kill will be killed! If the two great demon courts wish to make a move, I will naturally accept it. After this battle, I need to go into seclusion for a while, so I will take my leave first. If you see anything left behind in the Burial Immortal Ruins that you like, you may take it!” “Then thank you very much, Sword Master Shen!” Jiang Yunchuan did not refuse. He knew that Shen Changqing would not care about these things, but for himself, the things left behind by these extraterrestrial immortal emperors were a rich resource . Even though some of the top treasures had already been taken by Shen Changqing, the remaining portion was still not to be ignored. It was true that the Jiang family was a supreme power, but the Jiang family had many geniuses, and all cultivation resources could not be concentrated on one person. Moreover, these extraterrestrial immortal emperors who could enter the Chaotic Land were among the most elite of the immortal emperor realm. The things left behind by such powerful figures were naturally extraordinary. Then.

Shen Changqing took a step forward, the space before him shattered, and his figure vanished instantly.

…

A moment later.

On the other side of the Chaotic Land, Shen Changqing reappeared. With a flick of his sleeve, the space before him twisted and trembled, and a celestial palace suddenly appeared.

Then.

Shen Changqing entered the celestial palace, and all the Great Dao restrictions reappeared, erasing the traces of the celestial palace once more.

Inside the celestial palace.

Shen Changqing’s previously rosy complexion turned several shades paler.

Then.

He swallowed a pill, and his complexion regained its rosy hue.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Changqing’s divine sense descended upon his own body, only to see that his physical body was riddled with holes, and many traces of Dao essence remained in his flesh and meridians.

Each Dao trace was filled with astonishing aura.

These Dao traces

were left by the top geniuses of the outer realms.

“Without reaching the Half-Saint Realm, it will ultimately be difficult to sweep away all the Celestial Emperors of the outer realms!”

Shen Changqing shook his head as he looked at his condition.

His physical body, comparable to a fourth-grade innate imperial weapon, was indeed very strong, but unfortunately, there were too many cultivators from the outer realms, and many of their prodigies possessed top-tier treasures, posing a significant threat.

Although he suppressed numerous Immortal Emperors from the outer realms and even killed a number of prodigies in this battle, he himself was also seriously injured.

Regardless

, Shen Changqing was satisfied with the outcome.
