Terran Guardian - Chapter 4182

Chapter 4157: One prospers, all prosper; one suffers, all suffer!

In the chaotic void, destructive waves swept across the eight wastelands, the rules of the Great Dao crumbled inch by inch, and the vast universe seemed on the verge of annihilation.

Countless stars shattered.

Countless stars perished.

When a sword aura swept out, a chaotic territory billions of miles away was instantly destroyed. All the cultivators perished without even a scream under this power.

This scene

filled the ancient beings who witnessed it with horror, their hearts filled with uncontrollable fear.

They had lived for countless years and had seen many powerful beings clash. Some could destroy a lower realm universe with a wave of their hand, and some could even shatter a chaotic territory, turning even the top immortal realms into dead ends.

But those powerful beings were not on the same level as the current Nine Leaves and the Dao Ancestor.

The power the latter wielded was the limit of this chaos; even a casual strike was enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.

This was true destruction of the heavens and the earth.

A single sword aura was enough to destroy a chaotic realm, even causing a Supreme Being to bleed.

The two moved with incredible speed, their battle intensifying, shattering the boundless space as if the entire chaos itself were their battlefield.

…

“Boom!”

A void within a forbidden zone shattered, a sword aura sweeping across, obliterating all the rules of the forbidden zone inch by inch, and awakening the ancient beings who had been dormant.

“What happened—”

A Supreme Being, who had slept for countless years, suddenly opened his eyes. Before he could react, he saw a sword aura cleaving through the void of the forbidden zone, shattering all the rules and principles, its momentum unstoppable as it hurtled towards him. The threat of death filled him with horror.

Run!

This was the Supreme Being’s only thought.

But just as he made a move, the sword aura that had cleaved the forbidden zone swept across.

His body stiffened abruptly, the divine light in his eyes dimmed, and then his body shattered inch by inch, completely vanishing into nothingness.

The unstoppable force, after severing this forbidden zone, plunged into the vast depths of the void, shattering dozens of forbidden zones of varying sizes.

Those ancient beings slumbering within these zones couldn’t even awaken, perishing in their slumber.

“Why! In this age of declining Dharma, why has such a powerful being emerged from the chaos?!”

Other forbidden zone supreme beings witnessed this, their faces filled with disbelief, their eyes brimming with fear.

He wanted to leave!

But there was no way!

The reason a forbidden zone supreme being was was because the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t tolerate such a being in this age of declining Dharma.

If he dared to step even half a step outside his forbidden zone, the Heavenly Dao’s divine tribulation would surely descend, leading to certain death.

But not leaving—

looking at the forbidden zones destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle, this forbidden zone supreme being fell silent again.

Leaving meant death!

Staying meant death!

Now, he could only pray that the battle between the two wouldn’t approach his forbidden zone, otherwise, he would surely perish.

It was hard to imagine that a supreme being of the forbidden zones would one day be forced to such a state.

But there was nothing they could do.

Before absolute power, everything else seemed pale and powerless.

The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone was incredibly strong!

To be precise, any being who had reached the Supreme Realm was incredibly strong.

But so what?

The strength of Jiu Ye and Dao Zu was beyond that of any Supreme Being.

Faced with beings of this level, even a Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone would have to retreat.

Now, cultivators from other Chaos Realms, upon witnessing this scene, hurriedly retreated, not daring to approach the battlefield even a fraction.

Even outside the battlefield, in many adjacent star systems, not a single cultivator dared to linger.

After all, no one could guarantee that the battle of such beings would affect them.

No one dared to gamble.

If it really came to that, it would be too late to leave.

…

Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Shen Changqing also looked towards the direction of the Chaos Void. Although he couldn’t truly see the battle there, he could clearly sense the terrifying aura.

“It’s uncertain who will win this battle!”

Shen Changqing’s expression was solemn. This level of combat was beyond his reach.

He was also aware of Jiu Ye’s condition.

Now that the Dao Ancestor had personally arrived, Jiu Ye’s fight against him must have involved other methods.

However, how long these methods could be maintained, and whether they could suppress the Dao Ancestor, was uncertain.

Currently,

the Seven Profound Dao Sect and the Jiang Family were in cahoots.

If Jiu Ye lost, the Jiang Family would perish, and as a force within the Jiang Family’s camp, the Seven Profound Dao Sect would not fare well either.

If it came to that, the Seven Profound Dao Sect would likely have no way out.

Whether they hid in the lower universe or escaped into the depths of chaos, it would be futile.

After all, to a being of the Dao Ancestor’s level, trying to deceive him was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

Even if he possessed the Seven Profound Divine Tower, which could conceal the secrets of heaven and prevent the Dao Ancestor from noticing, the other cultivators in the sect would likely be doomed.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing naturally hoped that Jiu Ye would win.

If the opponent wins, the Seven Profound Dao Sect can be spared a great calamity.

If they cannot win, he must make other plans.

However, at this point, Shen Changqing’s heart is much calmer.

One prospers, all prosper

; one suffers, all suffer!

The cultivators of the Seven Profound Dao Sect are protected by the sect and receive resources for cultivation. If the sect suffers a calamity one day, they will naturally pay the corresponding price.

However, the current battle situation is uncertain, and the outcome is still unknown.

Thinking of this,

Shen Changqing dismissed his distracting thoughts and continued to look into the depths of the chaotic void, focusing on the result of this battle.

At the same time, in

the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm and various parts of the chaotic void, numerous cultivators were all looking towards the direction of the chaotic void.

Although this battle initially stemmed from a feud between the Jiang family and the Taiyi Immortal Sect, its impact had already extended far beyond the two factions.

Moreover,

as the battle between Jiu Ye and the Dao Ancestor intensified, the vast Chaos seemed to tremble violently.

Some cultivators couldn’t help but wonder if, if this continued, the entire Chaos would be shattered.

They had no choice but to contemplate this.

At this moment, wherever the two clashed, everything was reduced to nothingness.

Whether it was a forbidden zone of life, a chaotic territory, or even an ancient holy land, the moment it was affected, it was annihilated without exception.

A torrential rain of blood!

It seemed capable of covering the entire Chaos universe!

This was a celestial phenomenon caused by the deaths and bloodshed of supreme beings from various forbidden zones.

These beings had lived for countless years and endured countless calamities, yet now they had perished in this battle.

Many supreme beings from forbidden zones were unable to offer any resistance even until their very last breath.

Millions of years of cultivation seemed so weak before such power.

Meanwhile,

in the chaotic battlefield, the Dao Ancestor grew increasingly alarmed, his former composure completely gone.

He hadn’t expected that Jiu Ye, already severely injured, would possess such a hidden strength, and that his power was astonishingly immense.

He had initially thought that with his cultivation level, half-stepping into the realm of the Great Dao Lord, suppressing a severely injured Great Dao Lord whose strength had plummeted to its lowest point would be a piece of cake.

But now, in this life-or-death battle, the Dao Ancestor realized his naiveté. A Great Dao Lord was

far beyond his imagination.

Even with Jiu Ye’s severe injuries, his strength was unfathomable.

It was hard to imagine

whether he himself would be killed in a single exchange if such a being were at their peak.

Understanding this, the Dao Ancestor’s killing intent towards Jiu Ye had reached an unparalleled level.

If his previous attacks on Jiu Ye were merely following orders…

So now—

killing Jiuye is for the sake of his own life.

Having offended a Great Dao Lord, the best course of action is to strike while the iron is hot.

Otherwise,

if the opponent survives and recovers his cultivation, he himself will be the one to die.

The Dao Ancestor isn’t naive enough to believe he can be a match for a Great Dao Lord at his peak.

Even a weakened Jiuye is giving him a headache; if a Great Dao Lord at his peak were to face him, he would have no chance of survival.

Even if he has other Great Dao Lords backing him, it’s the same.

Being targeted by a Great Dao Lord will inevitably cause him sleepless nights.

Therefore,

the Dao Ancestor is now in a dilemma. He

cannot rest easy until Jiuye is dead. Understanding this, the Dao Ancestor’s attacks become even more ferocious. Previously, he had restrained himself somewhat due to the existence of the Chaos Heavenly Dao. After all, he had already entered the Outer Heavens. This time, his re-entry into the Chaos was merely a temporary descent by Juechen, who forcibly opened a passage based on his own cultivation. If he caused too much of a commotion, it was hard to guarantee that the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t take action. But now, the Dao Ancestor couldn’t care less about that.
