Terran Guardian - Chapter 4156

Chapter 4131: The Devastation of the Blazing Sun Realm

“So what if it’s a supreme divine weapon comparable to a creation treasure… A half-saint after all is still a half-saint. The difference in cultivation level cannot be made up for by a supreme treasure—”

Despite his right hand being completely shattered, Ling Jiu still sneered. To him, limb regeneration was nothing more than commonplace.

Losing an arm was not a serious injury.

However—

just as Ling Jiu’s words fell, Shen Changqing flicked his left sleeve, and two crimson sword beams suddenly shot out, directly attacking the former.

The sudden change caused Ling Jiu’s expression to change drastically.

He almost instantly activated his protective immortal aura to resist.

But the next moment.

The two crimson sword beams easily broke through his protective immortal aura, directly piercing through his body.

“Boom!”

The destructive killing sword energy erupted, causing Ling Jiu’s body to be completely torn to pieces.

His so-called half-saint-like physical body was now like paper, unable to withstand the sword beams in the slightest.

In that instant.

Ling Jiu’s physical body collapsed, leaving only his remnant soul.

His face filled with terror, he instantly condensed all his remaining flesh and blood, forcibly reconstructing his body while retreating explosively.

“Go!”

But just as Ling Jiu retreated, Shen Changqing’s divine sense stirred, and two crimson sword beams simultaneously slashed out, severing both of Ling Jiu’s arms.

Blood splattered!

The crimson sword beams landed beside Shen Changqing, transforming into two crimson immortal swords.

“Wusheng Youdu!”

“The treasure of the Yaotai Holy Land is in your hands!”

Ling Jiu’s pupils constricted sharply as he looked at the two crimson immortal swords, his expression turning grim.

As the former top treasure of the Yaotai Holy Land, Wusheng Youdu had a fearsome reputation; how could Ling Jiu not recognize it?

However,

Ling Jiu didn’t know much about the Star Luo Immortal Domain, so he was unaware that the Yaotai Holy Land had been destroyed by the Seven Profound Dao Sect, and even the original top treasure of the Holy Land had fallen into Shen Changqing’s hands.

Upon seeing this,

Ling Jiu’s heart skipped a beat again. The

Nine-Star Mace, comparable to a Creation Treasure!

The Wusheng Youdu, a top-tier Innate Emperor Weapon!

And that Innate Lotus Platform, also a Ninth-Rank Innate Emperor Weapon—

it was hard to imagine that a mere First Tribulation Half-Saint possessed so many top-tier treasures.

Even he, a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint of the Flaming Sun Realm, only possessed one Ninth-Rank Innate Emperor Weapon.

Yet,

Shen Changqing seemed to be producing Ninth-Rank Innate Emperor Weapons as if they were free.

How could such a foundation not shock Ling Jiu?

Just then,

Jun Tiannan’s killing move descended.

A brutally fierce spear light attacked, and Ling Jiu’s expression changed. Ignoring the fact that his physical body had just condensed and his blood and immortal power hadn’t truly stabilized, he could only forcefully defend.

As the two clashed, Ling Jiu unknowingly fell into a disadvantageous position.

On the other side…

Shen Changqing swallowed another rare and precious herb and charged forward with the Nine-Star Mace.

Instantly,

Ling Jiu’s pressure increased dramatically.

He was already severely injured and struggling against Jun Tiannan; now, with Shen Changqing added to the mix, he was naturally overwhelmed.

In less than a moment, Ling Jiu was caught off guard and had half his body smashed by the Nine-Star Mace.

This injury was like adding insult to injury.

This attack not only worsened Ling Jiu’s injuries but also extinguished the last vestiges of fighting spirit in this Nine Tribulation Half-Saint of the Flame Sun Realm.

“I admit defeat in this battle, but I will remember what happened today and settle accounts with you all in the future!”

Ling Jiu suddenly unleashed his full power, forcefully repelling the two, then uttered a harsh threat before tearing through the void and fleeing.

The moment Ling Jiu fled, the Flame Sun Realm cultivators on the battlefield received the news and abandoned all thoughts of fighting to the death, retreating towards the edge of the Emperor’s Meteor Star.

Everything happened in an instant. Watching Ling Jiu flee, Jun Tiannan ultimately didn’t intervene.

Not because he didn’t want to, but because he couldn’t.

Although Ling Jiu had fled, his strength was still formidable. Jun Tiannan knew very well that even with his full power, he wouldn’t be able to stop him.

As for Shen Changqing, he had no intention of intervening either.

Jun Tiannan couldn’t stop him.

He wouldn’t be able to either.

“A Nine Tribulation Half-Saint who has survived twenty-three Heavenly Decays, this time I’ve truly witnessed his extraordinary strength!”

Shen Changqing looked at Ling Jiu’s disappearing figure, his expression somewhat solemn.

He genuinely acknowledged Ling Jiu’s strength.

If it weren’t for Jun Tiannan, he would have had a hard time gaining the upper hand against Ling Jiu unless he had Jiu Ye’s help.

Hearing this,

Jun Tiannan took a deep breath, turned to look at Shen Changqing, and his eyes showed admiration.

“Although Ling Jiu is strong, he is still inferior to Sect Master Shen. In this battle, Sect Master Shen’s strength has truly broadened my horizons.

Ling Jiu is merely relying on his cultivation advantage. If Sect Master Shen were also a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint, he would absolutely not be a match for him!”

Jun Tiannan’s tone was solemn, and when he looked at Shen Changqing, he showed no airs of a senior.

In this battle,

he truly witnessed the strength of a top-tier genius.

It can be said that

if it weren’t for Shen Changqing, he would definitely not have won this battle.

Even if he didn’t die, he would have been severely injured and forced to retreat.

Before this,

Jun Tiannan had never imagined that the strength of a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint could be so formidable.

Other cultivators would only think that the opponent was relying on the power of a supreme treasure.

But only after truly joining forces with him could Jun Tiannan see Shen Changqing’s extremely profound foundation.

He could hardly imagine how terrifying the strength of such a genius would be if he stepped into the Ninth Tribulation realm.

However, there was one point.

Jun Tiannan can be 100% certain.

That means as long as Shen Changqing doesn’t die, he will definitely reach the top ranks in the future.

With such a future top expert before him, Jun Tiannan naturally had to show him sufficient respect.

Not to mention

, this battle was also due to the opponent’s intervention, allowing the Crimson Heaven Realm to defeat the Flame Sun Realm.

Otherwise, even if the Crimson Heaven Realm relied on its great formation to hold out, its chances of victory would have been slim.

“Elder Jun, you flatter me. Now that Ling Jiu has been defeated, the remaining cultivators of the Flame Sun Realm are not a concern.

I also need to recuperate after this battle. The matters on Emperor’s Fall Star will be handled by the Crimson Heaven Realm!” “

Of course!”

Jun Tiannan nodded, watching Shen Changqing leave. His gaze returned to the battlefield, his eyes turning cold.

“Ling Jiu has been defeated. Issue the order: all cultivators of the Crimson Heaven Realm must attack and encircle the Flame Sun Realm, leaving no one alive!”

With this order,

Jun Tiannan took the lead.

Even though he had just survived a bloody battle and his strength was severely depleted, a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint was still a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint. The power he wielded at this level was incomparable to that of other Half-Saints.

Moreover, with Ling Jiu’s defeat, the morale of the Yan Yang Realm had plummeted, and they had long since lost any will to resist.

As a result

, under Jun Tiannan’s all-out attack, the cultivators of the Yan Yang Realm were naturally unable to withstand him.

At the same time

, the news of Ling Jiu’s defeat spread like wildfire throughout the entire Emperor Meteor Star.

Upon hearing this news, the cultivators of the various immortal cities of the Crimson Heaven Realm were greatly encouraged and immediately mobilized all their forces to besiege the Yan Yang Realm.

Previously, although the Crimson Heaven Realm had already deployed its main force, each immortal city still had a small number of cultivators stationed there to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

But now,

each immortal city had exhausted all its resources and had no intention of defending at all.

Faced with the Crimson Heaven Realm’s counterattack, the Yan Yang Realm naturally collapsed at an accelerated pace.

In less than a few days, all the cultivators from the Yan Yang Realm on Emperor’s Fall Star had been completely wiped out.

All the lost immortal cities had also been recaptured by the Crimson Heaven Realm.

With the last immortal city recovered, the heavy burden on the hearts of Jun Tiannan and the other half-saints of the Crimson Heaven Realm was finally lifted, and all the cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

“Draft a battle report and send the situation on Emperor’s Fall Star back to the main realm. Also, inform the main realm that although the Yan Yang Realm suffered a defeat, they could return at any time, so that the main realm can prepare countermeasures!”

In an immortal palace, Jun Tiannan sat in the main seat, looking at a half-saint elder below, and said in a deep voice.

Although the Yan Yang Realm had been defeated, it didn’t mean everything was over.

One Ling Jiu

could not represent the entire Yan Yang Realm.

Therefore, despite the victory, Jun Tiannan remained vigilant.

However, his duty was to oversee Emperor’s Fall Star, and there wasn’t much he could actually do. He explained the advantages and disadvantages clearly, and left the rest to the main realm.

Of course,

Jun Tiannan didn’t think the possibility of the Yan Yang Realm making a comeback was high.

The main battlefield for all forces was currently in the Donghua Immortal Domain.

The remaining truly usable forces were actually quite limited.

Moreover

, in this era, the Great Tribulation hadn’t arrived yet, so how many immortals could actually make a move?

However, the low probability was one thing, but the necessary preparations still needed to be made; the two weren’t mutually exclusive.
