Terran Guardian - Chapter 4079

Chapter 4054 You brat, how dare you deceive me!

The arena was empty!

Shen Changqing unleashed a punch, instantly exploding the body of a half-saint in the terrified gaze of the latter, killing him instantly.

“Boom—”

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, but Shen Changqing stood firmly in the void, his aura remaining completely unwavering.

“Who else?”

He looked towards the void beyond the arena and spoke calmly.

This simple sentence silenced the entire Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands.

It also silenced the other spectators.

By now,

the battle had raged for a long time.

Hundreds of half-saints from the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands had shed their blood, the void almost completely stained red.

Such beings, who had reached the pinnacle of immortality, should be supreme in this era.

But now,

before Shen Changqing, half-saints were like ants, easily killed.

How could such a scene not evoke a sense of shared sorrow among the powerful figures of the other forces?

At the beginning…

The semi-saints from the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands still displayed unwavering courage, with some even fantasizing about seizing an opportunity to kill Shen Changqing on the spot.

However, as one semi-saint after another fell, these powerful figures lost all their previous spirit.

They were afraid!

Afraid of perishing on the arena.

Especially after seeing so many semi-saints rushing to their deaths, not only failing to harm Shen Changqing in the slightest but also being easily crushed like ants in the void arena, they were filled with even greater fear.

Who wouldn’t be afraid of death!

Especially such meaningless deaths, which only intensified their terror.

But the problem was,

they now had no way out.

If they dared to hesitate, their own Great Saints would kill them without Shen Changqing even lifting a finger.

Taking a step forward meant death, and taking a step back meant death.

Faced with this,

these semi-saints from these forces could only grit their teeth and fight.

“I am—”

A half-saint stepped onto the void arena, his face filled with a death-defying expression. Just as he was about to announce his name, Shen Changqing blasted him to death with a single punch, leaving him unable to utter the rest of his words.

“Boom—”

A half-saint splattered blood.

Shen Changqing’s expression

remained indifferent. Now, with the fall of one half-saint after another, he

had become increasingly adept at utilizing his own strength. This was far more useful than his own secluded cultivation to stabilize his cultivation level.

Most importantly

, each half-saint’s fall contributed a portion of their essence.

By now, the Seven Profound Divine Tower had already collected a large amount of half-saint essence.

If this continued, Shen Changqing believed that he might be able to gather all the essence of a Saint-level demon god in one go.

If he could reach that point, he would have another Saint-level combat power as a trump card.

In the past,

collecting so much life essence would have been extremely difficult.

After all, semi-saints aren’t as common as cabbages, so they can’t be slaughtered at will. It’s impossible to gather so much life essence by relying on cultivators below the semi-saint level.

Only now,

with various forces sparing no expense to send semi-saints, has Shen Changqing seen an opportunity.

If this continues, it’s not entirely impossible for him to gather the opportunity to become a Saint or Demon God.

His perfected Primordial Immortal Body keeps his strength at its peak.

The fall of hundreds of semi-saints

hasn’t actually depleted Shen Changqing’s power much.

A hundredfold recovery

is no joke.

Moreover, most of the semi-saints who have attacked are of average strength, easily suppressed by Shen Changqing.

Thus,

his consumption is even less.

In this battle,

Shen Changqing aims to completely wipe out the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands.

He wants to see

just how few semi-saints below the Seven Tribulations these forces have been able to muster.

“Who else!”

Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, his calm tone sending chills down the spines of the other cultivators.

For a moment…

The cultivators from the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands remained silent.

By now, almost all the semi-saints present from various forces had perished.

After all,

no one had expected that

so many semi-saints could be defeated so quickly.

Shen Changqing alone had truly swept aside over a hundred semi-saints.

The Great Sage of Nanhua gritted his teeth and said, “My Divine Sun Immortal Court’s semi-saints are on their way. If you have the guts, wait here for a moment!”

“I’ll give you half an hour. If no semi-saint makes a move, then this battle will end here. After all,

if your semi-saints don’t come for a hundred or eighty years, am I supposed to wait here for a hundred or eighty years?”

Shen Changqing sneered, completely unmoved by the Great Sage of Nanhua’s provocation.

His words

made the Great Sage of Nanhua’s face turn ugly: “Three days, three days at most!”

“Half an hour, not a breath more!”

Shen Changqing resolutely refused. Seeing the gloomy faces of the Great Sage of Nanhua and the other cultivators, he changed his tone again.

“However, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. For a complete Innate Emperor Weapon, I can wait an extra half an hour.”

“Don’t go too far!”

The Great Sage of Nanhua glared at Shen Changqing, his teeth clenched.

A single Innate Emperor Weapon, half an hour? Why doesn’t he just snatch it?!

Based on the estimated time, it would take at least three days for all the Half-Saints to arrive.

Following this calculation, in three days, that’s a full seventy-two Innate Emperor Weapons—clearly, they’re being ripped off.

Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back: “How can it be considered excessive for me to fight against a hundred of you half-saints alone?

If you wish to kill me, I will give you that chance.

A Primordial Emperor Weapon within half an hour. If you can produce one, then I will wait. If not, then this battle is over.

We can settle our remaining grievances later!”

At this point, Shen Changqing had no reason to hide anything.

The two sides had already broken off all pretense of civility and were at a point of no return.

The Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands were resolute in their determination to kill him; it remained to be seen whether they were willing to pay the price.

However,

in Shen Changqing’s view, they had no possibility of refusing.

After all, while Primordial Emperor Weapons were precious, they were willing to pay the price to eliminate him, a threat.

Sure enough—

after Shen Changqing presented his conditions, the Great Sage of Nanhua’s expression changed repeatedly, finally turning to the other Great Sages.

“This brat seems to have us cornered. What are your thoughts?”

“Since he’s asked, let’s give it to him. He’ll surely perish here today, and then he’ll have to return what he took!”

said the Great Sage of the Purple Cloud Immortal Sect coldly. The Great

Sage of Candlelight Cang also nodded: “One Innate Emperor Weapon every half hour, that’s only seventy-two Innate Emperor Weapons in total. If

we spread them out among our various forces, it’s not actually that many.

Besides, Fellow Daoist Zhen Lei is right, the Innate Emperor Weapons are just temporarily being held for him.

Once this brat perishes, we can take them back!”

That was one point.

Furthermore,

they had sacrificed the lives of over a hundred Half-Saints; how could they allow Shen Changqing to escape unscathed?

Today, no matter the cost, they would completely kill him here.

Therefore,

even if Shen Changqing was making exorbitant demands, they could only endure it.

With a Dao Venerable watching from the sidelines, it wasn’t their place to truly overturn the table.

Soon,

each force produced several Innate Emperor Weapons, and the seventy-two Innate Emperor Weapons were gathered in one go.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Great Sage of Nanhua tossed out a storage ring.

“These are seventy-two innate imperial weapons, in exchange for three days!”

“Good, you all are indeed generous. Then I’ll wait for you for three days!”

Shen Changqing grabbed the storage ring, scanned it with his divine sense to confirm the innate imperial weapons were without fault, and then tossed all these treasures into the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

Afterwards,

he closed his eyes to meditate, seemingly recovering silently.

The other cultivators’ eyes turned bloodshot at the sight.

Seventy-two innate imperial weapons!

What a concept!

Many half-saints, even after exhausting their resources, could only produce one innate imperial weapon.

Treasures of this level were precious, not something everyone could possess.

Now,

Shen Changqing obtained seventy-two innate imperial weapons with a flick of his finger—how could this not make the other cultivators envious?

Especially many Immortal Emperors who had come upon hearing the news were extremely envious.

But as envious as they were, they also knew very well that such a benefit was not something they could obtain.

To obtain seventy-two innate imperial weapons, one must first possess the strength to suppress hundreds of half-saints.

Furthermore—

one must have the confidence to withstand the wrath of the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands.

Otherwise,

it would be tantamount to inviting disaster.

Seeing Shen Changqing’s composed demeanor, the Great Sage of Nanhua’s eyes grew even colder.

“Wait, how you swallowed it, I will make you spit it all out!”

Thinking this, the Great Sage of Nanhua finally suppressed his anger.

Now, all he could do was wait, wait for the arrival of the half-saints from various forces, and then completely kill Shen Changqing.

Three days

passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Changqing opened his eyes and looked at the Great Sage of Nanhua and the others.

“Three days have passed, has any half-saint made a move?”

Hearing this,

the Great Sage of Nanhua’s face twitched slightly, then flicked his finger, and another storage ring landed in front of Shen Changqing.

“Twenty-four innate imperial weapons, in exchange for one more day!”

“Not enough!”

Shen Changqing glanced at the storage ring and said indifferently.

His words turned the Great Sage of Nanhua’s face as black as ink: “It’s not half an hour for one Innate Emperor Weapon, how can twenty-four Innate Emperor Weapons not be enough for twelve hours?”

“Half an hour for one Innate Emperor Weapon, that was the price three days ago. Now it’s two Innate Emperor Weapons for half an hour.

If I wait another day, I’ll need forty-eight Innate Emperor Weapons.”

Upon hearing this ,

the Great Sage of Nanhua immediately flew into a rage.

“You brat, how dare you deceive me!!”

At that moment, he wished he could directly storm into the void arena and kill Shen Changqing on the spot.

However,

the latter, facing his fury, remained completely unfazed, his expression calm.

“The original agreement was for three days, but now that three days have passed, I certainly cannot continue to waste time with you.

Forty-eight Innate Emperor Weapons, I can wait another day. If you agree, then take out the Innate Emperor Weapons; if you don’t agree, then I won’t keep you company!”
