Terran Guardian - Chapter 4075

Chapter 4050: Drawing Lots

“We are willing to die for the Celestial Court!”

The several half-saints exchanged glances and said in unison.

Things had come to this point, and they had no choice but to go all out. Do n’t be

fooled by the Great Sage of Nanhua’s polite words; if they dared to utter a single word of dissent, he would show no mercy, and it might even implicate their Immortal Clan.

Since that was the case,

they had no choice but to fight.

Besides,

with the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands all involved, each force taking turns, if they were lucky enough, they could at least rank behind dozens of half-saints.

At that time, Shen Changqing might already be dead.

Even

if he didn’t perish, his strength would be greatly diminished. That would be their opportunity. “Since

that’s the case , let’s decide by drawing lots!” The Great Sage of Nanhua flicked his sleeve, and chaotic primordial energy gathered, eventually forming six lots. “These six lots all have numbers on them. The one with the first number goes first. Who wants to go first?” “I’ll go first!” A sixth-tier half-saint spoke first, directly drawing one of the lots. As the lot landed in his hand, the chaotic Dao aura on it dissipated, and a number appeared. “Three!” Upon seeing this number, his expression brightened slightly. Third place! This ranking was right in the middle, an excellent number. The other half-saints didn’t hesitate either, immediately starting to draw lots. When a cultivator saw that he had drawn lot number one, his face immediately turned grim. But in this situation, there was no room for him to object. The other forces were in the same boat. Just then, in the void of the arena, the battle between the two sides had reached the stage of determining victory or defeat. Although Venerable Fuhai was a sixth-tribulation half-saint, and his physical body had become a saint, his strength was stronger than the two sixth-tier half-saints before him. If he hadn’t broken through to the half-saint realm, Shen Changqing would naturally be no match for a powerhouse of this level. Unfortunately… Having broken through to the Half-Saint Realm in one step, Shen Changqing’s strength was now vastly different. Even the Overturning Sea Venerable was no match for him. More importantly, the continuous battles and fights had allowed Shen Changqing to master his newfound strength with increasing ease. As a result, the Overturning Sea Venerable was even less of a match. With a single punch, Shen Changqing shattered the Overturning Sea Venerable’s arms, and then unleashed another punch, piercing his chest before he could react, his heart instantly turning to dust. Such an injury was not enough to seriously injure the Overturning Sea Venerable, but it was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, leaving him with absolutely no room for resistance. “Pfft!” The Overturning Sea Venerable coughed up blood, his eyes filled with shock and anger as he looked at Shen Changqing, but he frantically retreated, trying to create distance and give himself time to recover. But how could Shen Changqing give him that chance? Just as Venerable Fuhai retreated, Shen Changqing’s five fingers shot out, grabbing Venerable Fuhai’s head and ripping it violently. A tearing sound of flesh ripped apart rang out. Venerable Fuhai let out a shrill scream as his head and spine were ripped out. “In this battle, you have ultimately lost!” Shen Changqing’s eyes met Venerable Fuhai’s, then he squeezed his fingers tightly, and the head of this half-saint of the Celestial Phenomenon Demon Court exploded, instantly killing him. “Who else?” Shen Changqing casually tossed Venerable Fuhai’s remains aside like trash, then looked around at all directions in the void and asked. This gesture sent chills down the spines of many cultivators. On the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s side, Luo Xinghe’s pupils contracted sharply. His eyes, filled with intense killing intent, and a hint of fear he himself didn’t realize, flashed as he looked at Shen Changqing. In a short time, the opponent had slain three half-saints. Moreover… Each of these semi-saints was formidable, their cultivation reaching the sixth tribulation realm. Luo Xinghe knew very well that even if he were to break through to the semi-saint realm one day, he would never be able to achieve such a feat at Shen Changqing’s current level. A semi-saint at the ninth tribulation! Even for a peerless genius, fighting three tribulations with only a first-tribulation semi-saint cultivation was already astonishing. To kill three sixth-tribulation semi-saints like Shen Changqing was simply impossible. At this moment, Luo Xinghe understood that the gap between him and Shen Changqing was widening. If they could still contend at the Immortal Emperor level, now that Shen Changqing had stepped into the semi-saint realm, even if he too reached semi-saint status, he would be nothing more than an ant to be easily crushed. “Such geniuses shouldn’t exist!” Luo Xinghe suppressed his killing intent, then glanced at the surrounding void. With various forces eyeing him covetously, Shen Changqing had no chance of leaving alive. Thinking of this… He felt a slight sense of relief. If Shen Changqing died here, the pressure from him would disappear. … “Master Xuantian Sword… if this child can reach the Ninth Tribulation Realm, he will surely ascend to the Half-Saint Immortal Stele!” On the side of the Glazed Holy Land, an old monk, his face solemn, looked towards the void arena, his expression grave. Beside him, Bao Chan, dressed in snow-white robes, her gaze, which had been fixed on the void arena, now turned to the old monk upon hearing this. “Elder Mi Chen, what are your thoughts on the chances of this Sword Master Shen winning?” “It’s hard to say. It depends on how much other forces are willing to pay. After all, in this era, there aren’t many truly capable Half-Saints left. Without the Great Tribulation, forcibly intervening would require overcoming the Five Signs of Decay. However, if the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands are truly willing to exhaust all their resources, in my opinion, it will be extremely difficult for this young man to leave alive. Unless… that person from the Jiang family is willing to intervene, but a dignified Dao Venerable naturally values face. As long as other forces don’t break the rules, he might not necessarily intervene!”

As the Great Sage Mi Chen spoke, he glanced in the direction of Jiang Daoxuan, his eyes filled with awe and apprehension.

The Supreme Sword Venerable Tai Xuan!

The Great Sage Mi Chen was no stranger to this name.

Despite the ancient heritage of the Glazed Holy Land, a supreme power in the Northern Wilderness Divine Continent, even a powerhouse of Jiang Daoxuan’s caliber was rare.

After all, the title of Supreme Sword Venerable was stained with blood; since gaining fame, he had slain countless powerful figures.

Even other Dao Venerables wouldn’t dare claim their strength could match that of the Supreme Sword Venerable Tai Xuan.

Therefore,

if Jiang Daoxuan had intervened to protect Shen Changqing, the latter would certainly not have died here.

But whether Jiang Daoxuan would intervene was another matter entirely.

Dao Venerables valued their reputation.

In the Great Sage Mi Chen’s view, even if Jiang Daoxuan had some connection with Shen Changqing, his previous act of helping was already the limit.

Such a favor from a powerful figure was rarely used again.

Besides…

The life-or-death battle was proposed by Shen Changqing.

If the opponent were truly defeated and died in battle, Jiang Daoxuan would have no reason to intervene.

“However—”

“If this boy can truly break through the many top forces of Shenfeng Prefecture, his future will be limitless.

I’ve heard that the Buddha’s disciple has some connection with this person. Whether he wins or loses, it won’t affect our Glazed Holy Land!”

Great Sage Mi Chen smiled faintly.

The Glazed Holy Land was just watching the show; the rest was of little concern to them.

Whether Shen Changqing won or lost was irrelevant to Great Sage Mi Chen.

Of course,

if he could witness a supreme genius break through a celestial prefecture, Great Sage Mi Chen would be happy to see it happen.

Bao Chan nodded slightly upon hearing this, but didn’t say anything more.

A moment later ,

another half-saint made his move.

This time ,

the half-saint who made the move was a three-tribulation half-saint from the Eternal Immortal Court.

The moment the opponent stepped into the void of the arena, before he could even utter a word, Shen Changqing shattered his physical body with a single punch. His soul couldn’t escape either, and he was instantly killed.

“A Third Tribulation Half-Saint? Does the Eternal Immortal Court have too many Half-Saints, sending them here to their deaths?”

Shen Changqing’s face was mocking. His words caused the Great Saint of the Eternal Immortal Court to turn grim, but he didn’t utter a rebuttal.

The order in which Half-Saints attacked was determined by drawing lots, entirely based on luck.

The Third Tribulation Half-Saint being no match for Shen Changqing was within the expectations of the Great Saint of the Eternal Immortal Court.

The problem was, however.

He had originally thought the opponent could at least weaken Shen Changqing.

Unexpectedly

, in just one exchange, a Third Tribulation Half-Saint was instantly killed, without any chance of resistance.

This result left the Great Saint of the Eternal Immortal Court feeling as if he had swallowed a fly.

Immediately afterward,

other Half-Saints attacked.

With the alliance of the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands, the semi-saints who made their moves were no longer uniformly sixth-tier semi-saints; their strengths varied considerably, determined entirely by drawing lots.

Shen Changqing killed almost all of these semi-saints in a single encounter.

Those stronger could barely fight him for a few rounds, but ultimately, they too met their demise.

In a short time, Shen Changqing had already killed three semi-saints.

The strongest of these three was only at the fourth tribulation level, while the weakest was only a second tribulation semi-saint.

At this point,

he vaguely understood the plans of the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands:

to slowly wear them down with the lives of a large number of semi-saints.

However, even understanding this, Shen Changqing was not afraid.

On the contrary,

he was somewhat looking forward to the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands’ approach.

He wanted to see just how many semi-saints these forces could muster.

As for the attrition, before his Immortal Body was fully formed, he would have been somewhat wary.

But since achieving the Great Ancient Immortal Body, things were completely different.

His Immortal Body was perfected!

His power was inexhaustible! He could

recover a hundredfold!

In a one-on-one situation, as long as he had a moment to catch his breath, Shen Changqing could fight on indefinitely.

This was why he dared to directly declare war on the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands.

He relied on the advantages of his Primordial Immortal Body.

The enmity between the two sides ran deep, and a reckoning was inevitable sooner or later. In this battle, Shen Changqing intended to thoroughly inflict pain on his opponents, until they dared not lay a hand on him again.

If that failed

, he would first eliminate a portion of their Half-Saints, and then continue the reckoning after he had advanced further, breaking through to the Saint Realm and even the Great Saint Realm.
