Terran Guardian - Chapter 4126

Chapter 4101: The Surge of Half-Saint Essence

The Yaotai Holy Land was destroyed.

Shen Changqing didn’t stop there.

Instead, he continued to mobilize various forces, including the Imperial Sword Dao Sect, to encircle and annihilate the remaining forces of the Taiyi Immortal Sect in the Star Luo Immortal Domain.

Without the Yaotai Holy Land, and with the Yinyou Holy Land

having already surrendered, the remaining forces posed little threat.

It’s important to understand that

before the battle at Taiyuan Prefecture, Shen Changqing employed a strategy of defeating them one by one, resulting in the complete annihilation of many forces.

Although those forces weren’t completely wiped out, their top combat power was wiped out.

Even if some resources were preserved, they were still severely damaged.

Then,

in the battle at the Dry Bone Forest,

some of the remaining forces collapsed, suffering further losses.

And finally,

in the battle at the Yinyou Holy Land,

the Yinyou Holy Land betrayed them at a crucial moment, destroying the last remaining resources of these forces.

Thus,

these forces were practically extinct.

Many longevity-level forces couldn’t even muster a single living half-saint.

Such weakened forces could be easily wiped out by forces like the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Moreover,

the Six Desires Immortal Sect had already taken the initiative during the attack on the Yin You Holy Land, eliminating some of its forces.

Then, with Shen Changqing mobilizing various forces, in less than a month, the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s entire foundation in the Star Luo Immortal Domain was completely eradicated. Other forces in the Star Luo Immortal Domain observed this, but none dared to act rashly.

After all, the Seven Profound Dao Sect was backed by the Jiang family, and no one wanted to openly antagonize such a supreme immortal clan unless absolutely necessary. Even if these forces had other top-tier backers, and even without the Jiang family, they wouldn’t naively believe they could contend with the Seven Profound Dao Sect based solely on their own resources . Without that reclusive supreme being, while the Seven Profound Dao Sect was powerful, it wasn’t enough to instill fear in all forces. After all… As one of the top immortal realms among the four ancient immortal states, the Star Luo Immortal Realm still possesses considerable resources. The forces with reclusive saints are never limited to the Yaotai Holy Land alone. However, everything changed after the Seven Profound Dao Sect produced a reclusive supreme being. Before such a powerful figure, even saints are merely larger ants. The Spirit Dust Sword Venerable serves as a cautionary tale. Without unnecessary conflict of interest, no one wants to break ties with the Seven Profound Dao Sect. Therefore, while the Seven Profound Dao Sect rampages and annihilates various forces, the remaining forces turn a blind eye. Even those forces that are on good terms with the Yaotai Holy Land and others remain silent, showing no intention of advocating for them. After all , good relations require equal strength or sufficient benefits for oneself. Now that the Yaotai Holy Land has been destroyed, and the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s foundation in the Star Luo Immortal Realm has been completely eradicated, intervening at this time would only invite trouble. … The Seven Profound Dao Sect. Inside the Cangwu Palace, Jian Xiaozi and other powerful figures from various immortal cultivation factions were all gathered. “Reporting to Sect Master Shen, all the immortal cultivation factions belonging to the Taiyi Immortal Sect have now been completely wiped out. What should we do next?” Jian Xiaozi asked , bowing. The other cultivators also looked to Shen Changqing, eager to hear his next orders. News of the Jiang family’s recent large-scale attack on the Taiyi Immortal Sect had spread, and they had naturally heard of it. The current situation was unclear, and they couldn’t make decisions on their own; they would follow Shen Changqing’s orders. After all, the Taiyi Immortal Sect had a reclusive supreme being in charge. In the eyes of the cultivators, sometimes Shen Changqing’s decisions might actually reflect the will of that reclusive supreme being. “The situation in the Donghua Immortal Domain is unclear, and with our strength, it’s difficult for us to get involved. For now, we should observe the situation. I will inform you all of any further orders from the Jiang family,” Shen Changqing said, shaking his head. Upon hearing this, the Yin You Saint Master tentatively asked, “Sect Master Shen, what are your chances of winning this battle?” “How could you and I possibly fathom such a force?” Shen Changqing glanced at him, and the Yin You Saint Master immediately stopped asking. Not long after, the various forces took their leave. This battle had wiped out numerous forces, and all participants had gained considerable benefits. Now was the perfect opportunity to digest these gains and enhance their own strength. While the other forces departed, Shen Changqing secretly contacted cultivators of the Xingdao Alliance to gather information about the situation in the Donghua Immortal Realm. At the same time , he took out the Jiang family’s token, intending to send a message directly, but after thinking it over, Shen Changqing decided against it. In his view, if the Jiang family needed anything, they would send a message. The current silence meant that the Jiang family had no use for the Seven Profound Dao Sect. Therefore, even if he sent a message, it would be meaningless. “In the end, we must wait and see!” Shen Changqing shook his head inwardly. Neither he nor the entire Seven Profound Dao Sect was as strong. Within the Star Luo Immortal Realm, the Seven Profound Dao Sect was currently considered top-tier, its true strength only slightly inferior to those forces possessing reclusive saints. Compared to other established immortal forces with only half-saints at their core, they were not weak in the slightest. However, compared to forces of the Jiang family and the Taiyi Immortal Sect, it was like comparing heaven and earth.

Let alone the current Seven Profound Dao Sect, even if they later break through to the Saint Realm or even the Great Saint Realm, they would still find it difficult to compare with such a supreme power.

It should be understood

that such supreme powers almost always have Dao Venerable-level combat power at their disposal.

Without that level of strength, it’s naturally difficult to rival them.

Thinking of this,

Shen Changqing glanced inward at the Soul-Destroying Sword, and then immediately used his divine sense to inform Jiu Ye about the Jiang family’s situation.

No matter what, Jiu Ye was still the Jiang family’s ancestor, and given the Jiang family’s current dire situation, he couldn’t hide it from him.

However,

upon hearing this information, Jiu Ye simply said to observe the situation calmly, and then fell completely silent.

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing didn’t say anything more.

He then withdrew his mind and focused his attention back on himself.

More precisely,

he focused his attention on the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

“Both Great Sage Chenyuan and Sword Venerable Lingchen perished before me, allowing the Seven Profound Divine Tower to capture a fraction of their life essence.

Although this life essence is at most only one-tenth complete, it’s still quite a lot.

Converted to half-saint essence, it’s at least two thousand points.

Adding the remaining life essence, I now have about two thousand seven hundred!”

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

Two thousand seven hundred life essence is only seven thousand three hundred short of the level of a Saint-level Immortal Demon God.

This amount of life essence seems like a lot, but if he had another opportunity like the one before, it would be possible to gather the full amount.
