Terran Guardian - Chapter 4190
Chapter 4165: Seeking Peace
“How can the Great Luo Immortal Court be compared to the Broken River Sword Sect? If Shen Changqing truly dares to come, I request to fight! The Heavenly Strategy Army will surely ensure he never returns!”
Pei Chengyue stepped forward, speaking with unwavering resolve. Upon hearing
this,
a middle-aged scholar-like cultivator beside him sneered, “General Pei’s courage is commendable, but back in the Heavenly Dao Battlefield, the Heavenly Strategy Army was nearly wiped out.
Now, after so many years, I fear the Heavenly Strategy Army has yet to recover its strength.
General Pei’s courage is commendable, but if it drags our Great Luo Immortal Court into eternal damnation, then you will be a sinner for all eternity!”
“Yun Bai—”
Pei Chengyue’s face darkened, his eyes filled with rage as he glared at the other man.
He wanted to retort, but he couldn’t.
The battle in the Heavenly Dao Battlefield had indeed inflicted heavy losses on the Heavenly Strategy Army.
Even after so much time, the Heavenly Strategy Army had not truly recovered.
More importantly
, Pei Chengyue was well aware of Shen Changqing’s strength.
Although he spoke frankly, in reality, even relying on the Heavenly Strategy Army, he had no confidence in dealing with Shen Changqing.
However,
this was the Great Luo Immortal Court.
In Pei Chengyue’s view, no matter how strong Shen Changqing was, he was still just one person.
As long as the Great Luo Immortal Court attacked en masse, the opponent would have no chance of winning.
At this moment,
Yun Bai completely ignored Pei Chengyue and looked at Si Yuting above, cupping his hands and saying,
“Your Majesty, although the strength of the Broken River Sword Sect is not as great as that of our Great Luo Immortal Court, it is by no means weak.
Its sect’s divine weapon, the Heavenly Star Sword, is even comparable to a seventh-grade innate imperial weapon.
But even so, the Broken River Sword Sect was still destroyed.
It can be seen that Shen Changqing’s strength is much stronger than we expected.
Now that the world is undergoing drastic changes, if the Great Luo Immortal Court and the Seven Profound Dao Sect are both severely injured, it will definitely be detrimental to the Immortal Court.
If other forces take advantage of this opportunity to make a move, then it will be troublesome!”
Yun Bai’s words made Si Yuting’s expression change slightly, and his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest as he fell into deep thought. He understood
the logic behind what the other party said. Although the Great Luo Immortal Court was currently a top power in the Star Ruins Immortal Domain, it was not without rivals. If it were to truly fight the Seven Profound Dao Sect to the death, other forces might take advantage of the situation. In the end, Shen Changqing’s strength was completely beyond Si Yuting’s expectations. “…Your Majesty, we haven’t truly attacked the Seven Profound Dao Sect yet, and there’s still room for maneuver. As long as we are willing to stop fighting and make peace, then Shen Changqing has no need to break ties with the Immortal Court. After all, our Great Luo Immortal Court has been passed down for many years, and its strength is not to be underestimated. If we were to fight to the death, it would benefit no one.” Yun Bai said urgently. Hearing this , Si Yuting took a deep breath and then made a decision. “Guards—” Just as he was about to give the order, a terrifying aura descended from outside the Immortal Palace, and a deafening roar resounded. The city’s protective formations shattered instantly. In that instant. Si Yuting took a step forward, his figure vanishing from his original spot. Inside the imperial capital, all the cultivators looked outwards with astonishment and disbelief. The Great Luo Immortal Court’s imperial capital was the face of the entire Immortal Court. Yet now, a mysterious cultivator had not only directly intruded into this place but had also shattered the capital’s protective formation with a single blow. Such strength caused many cultivators to secretly tremble. Si Yuting’s figure emerged from the void. Looking at the shattered protective formation, a deep sense of apprehension flashed in his eyes. Then, he looked outside the capital, where a purple-robed Daoist stood with his hands behind his back. Upon seeing the newcomer, Si Yuting’s pupils contracted imperceptibly again. He then suppressed his shock and anger and said in a deep voice. “Sect Master Shen, you broke my Great Luo Immortal Court’s formation without a word. What is your intention?” “The Emperor of the Di Luan Demon Court has perished, and the Broken River Sword Sect has been destroyed. Now only your Great Luo Immortal Court remains. Why I have come today, I believe you know.” Shen Changqing’s gaze also fell on Si Yuting. He was no stranger to this Heavenly Emperor of the Great Luo Immortal Court. A Nine Tribulation Half-Saint! Before the cataclysmic changes in the world, such a powerful figure was not to be underestimated. With a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint presiding over it, the Great Luo Immortal Court’s strength was among the top in many top immortal realms. Even the Yin You Holy Land, which was originally on par with the Yao Tai Holy Land, only had one Eight Tribulation Half-Saint. However, now that the world has changed drastically, Si Yuting’s strength is naturally no longer at its peak. As he spoke, the void trembled slightly, and other cultivators appeared. When they saw the shattered protective formation, their pupils contracted almost imperceptibly, shocked by the result. The capital’s defensive formation was a top-tier semi-saint level formation. Now, with the suppression of the Heavenly Dao rules, its power has been weakened, falling to the semi-saint level, but it remains a top-tier formation even at the Immortal Emperor level. Yet— even a powerful defensive formation like the capital’s was instantly shattered. How could Shen Changqing’s strength not shock them? Even Pei Chengyue, who had initially advocated for war, was now unusually silent. He realized that after the upheaval in the world, Shen Changqing’s strength had become even more terrifying. On the other side, Si Yuting was also silent for a long time before forcing out an ugly smile. “The Great Luo Immortal Court absolutely has no intention of being enemies with the Seven Profound Dao Sect. There must be some misunderstanding. I have long admired Sect Master Shen.”
“Since Sect Master Shen has come in person, why don’t the Great Luo Immortal Court forge an alliance with the Seven Profound Dao Sect to jointly resist this calamity?”
At this moment, Si Yuting had completely abandoned the idea of targeting the Seven Profound Dao Sect.
If Shen Changqing’s annihilation of the Broken River Sword Sect was something that alarmed him, then the fact that the other party could break the capital’s protective formation with a mere wave of his hand was even more terrifying.
Si Yuting knew very well
that such a powerful figure was beyond the Great Luo Immortal Court’s ability to deal with.
Or rather,
even if the Great Luo Immortal Court could deal with this person, it would have to pay a tremendous price.
Such a price was beyond the Great Luo Immortal Court’s ability to bear.
Since that was the case, the only option
was to stop and make peace.
As for what happened next, that could be dealt with later.
Of course,
Si Yuting did not think that Shen Changqing would refuse. In his view, tearing apart the Great Luo Immortal Court… There’s no benefit in breaking ties; on the contrary, forming an alliance would be mutually beneficial.
After all, the strength of the Great Luo Immortal Court is undeniable, and naturally, no one would choose to be its enemy if they could form an alliance.
Just as Si Yuting had this thought, he saw Shen Changqing take a step forward, his Nine-Star Mace descending with overwhelming force, the illusory image of nine celestial rivers pressing down across the heavens and earth, engulfing the vast imperial capital.
Cooperation!
That was impossible!
He couldn’t rest easy as long as the Great Luo Immortal Court remained intact.
Therefore,
facing Si Yuting’s words, Shen Changqing didn’t even bother to reply and immediately attacked.
Upon seeing this, the latter’s expression changed drastically, his tone filled with shock and anger.
“Shen Changqing, do you really intend to fight the Great Luo Immortal Court to the death?!” He hadn’t expected that
even after clearly yielding, the other party wouldn’t give him any face and would immediately attack. How could Si Yuting not be furious?
At that moment,
the illusory image of the Nine Directions Star River descended, its terrifying power causing even the Great Luo Immortal Emperor to feel a strong threat. His skin stung faintly, and the shadow of death loomed over his heart.
“All cultivators of the Great Luo Immortal Court, listen to my command! Surround and kill Shen Changqing! Do not let him leave alive!”
Si Yuting roared. In the blink of an eye, he summoned a divine sword. The sword was broad and thick, engraved with mountains, rivers, and all living things, and seemed to contain the entire fortune of the Great Luo Immortal Court.
In that instant,
Si Yuting grasped the divine sword, then mobilized the vast fortune of the Immortal Court and all his own power to unleash a domineering sword aura that tore through the heavens and collided fiercely with the illusory image of the Nine Directions Star River.
“Boom—”
Two powerful forces erupted, annihilating both the illusory Nine Directions Star River and the Heaven-Reaching Sword Qi. However, the moment the mace collided with the divine sword, the latter shuddered violently, emitting a crisp, mournful cry. Cracks appeared on its previously heavy blade.
Si Yuting’s body trembled; the tiger’s mouth of his hand gripping the hilt cracked first, followed by his right arm, which shattered as if crushed by a terrifying force, turning to dust.
But the next instant…
flesh and blood regenerated.
Si Yuting grabbed the falling divine sword, and when he looked at it, the cracks that met his eyes shocked him even more.
“What kind of treasure is this? Even the Imperial Divine Sword can’t match it!” At this moment ,
Si Yuting was truly shocked. The
Imperial Divine Sword in his hand was an ultimate divine weapon that the Great Luo Immortal Court had spent countless eons forging. Although its power hadn’t truly reached the level of a Creation Treasure, it was still comparable to a top-tier Innate Emperor Weapon.
In this era, such an ultimate divine weapon was among the best in the world.
But what Si Yuting didn’t expect was that in just one exchange, the Imperial Divine Sword was already damaged.
He looked at the long mace in Shen Changqing’s hand, and his shock was unimaginable.
Unfortunately,
Shen Changqing had no intention of wasting words with him. Seeing Si Yuting withstand his attack… A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes as he struck, but he quickly recovered.
The next instant,
Shen Changqing attacked again, unleashing the Nine-Star Mace, giving Si Yuting no chance to breathe.
At the same time,
the other Immortal Emperors of the Great Luo Immortal Court also attacked Shen Changqing simultaneously.
However, Shen Changqing completely ignored their attacks, not even bothering to defend himself.
His body, equipped with a fifth-grade innate imperial weapon, was his greatest asset.
Without an ultimate divine weapon, even top-tier Immortal Emperors had no chance of breaking through his defenses.
In this situation, the sheer number of Immortal Emperors from the Great Luo Immortal Court was useless.
“Die!!” Pei
Chengyue’s spear pierced the air, all his immortal energy and blood flowing into it, aiming fiercely at Shen Changqing’s chest, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Seeing that Shen Changqing didn’t dodge, a hint of joy appeared in Pei Chengyue’s eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.
But the next moment,
his smile froze.
His full-force attack, when it landed on Shen Changqing, was like hitting an indestructible piece of chaotic divine ore. It only managed to tear the opponent’s robe slightly, and upon touching the skin, it couldn’t advance an inch further.
Not only that, but
an equally terrifying recoil force swept over him along with the spear.
In an instant,
Pei Chengyue’s tiger’s mouth split open, and his body was thrown backward as if struck by a heavy blow. When he looked at Shen Changqing again, his eyes were filled with horror.
“Impossible!!” “
My full-force attack, while not necessarily severely injuring him, shouldn’t have failed to even break through his defenses, let alone injure me from the recoil.
Physical Sainthood!
Only now did Pei Chengyue truly understand the significance of those four words.
Before the cataclysmic changes in the world, physical sainthood wasn’t anything special.
At least against those veteran half-saints, physical sainthood wasn’t insurmountable.
But now, after the cataclysmic changes, physical sainthood meant utter invincibility.
In that instant,
a trace of doubt arose in Pei Chengyue’s heart.
Could the Great Luo Immortal Court truly contend with such a powerful figure?”
Before he could think too much, the battlefield changed again. Under Shen Changqing’s all-out attack, even with the Great Luo Immortal Court’s fortune and top-tier divine weapons, Si Yuting was ultimately unable to hold on.
In less than a moment, with the shattering of the Imperial Divine Sword, Si Yuting’s head and body were smashed by Shen Changqing’s mace, his soul utterly annihilated.
Thus,
this Heavenly Emperor of the Great Luo Immortal Court perished on the spot.
With Si Yuting’s demise, the other Immortal Emperors of the Great Luo Immortal Court, witnessing this scene, were utterly terrified. Their hard-won fighting spirit crumbled instantly.
“The Heavenly Emperor has fallen! This man is not to be trifled with!”
Yun Bai’s face turned deathly pale. He instantly withdrew from the battlefield and turned to flee.
If Si Yuting hadn’t died, he would have fought to the death for the Immortal Court.
But now, Si Yuting hadn’t even lasted a moment before being killed on the spot by Shen Changqing. At this point, when was he to not run?
Yun Bai knew very well that even if he joined forces with all the powerful figures of the Great Luo Immortal Court, they would still be no match for Shen Changqing.
Achieving physical sainthood!
That was invincible!
Didn’t he see that even with his full strength, he couldn’t leave a single mark on Shen Changqing? Without breaking through his defenses, everything was in vain.
Furthermore, with the Imperial Divine Sword shattered and Si Yuting dead, there was absolutely no chance of victory.
Seeing Yun Bai flee, the confidence of the other cultivators wavered, and many followed suit, disappearing from the battlefield.
This scene
turned the eyes of those loyal to the Great Luo Immortal Court bloodshot.
“Yun Bai, you traitors! The Immortal Court is facing a formidable enemy, and instead of serving it, you desert your posts! Do you have any shame left?!”
A Celestial Emperor roared angrily, wishing he could kill all the deserters like Yun Bai.
However…
Just as the other party finished speaking, a terrifying force shattered space, directly obliterating his physical body. Only his soul remained suspended in mid-air, his face blank, unable to react for a moment.
The next instant,
Shen Changqing clenched his five fingers and crushed the soul.
After killing this Immortal Emperor, he didn’t stop, continuing to kill the other Immortal Emperors.
Shen Changqing didn’t bother with the fleeing Immortal Emperors, but he wouldn’t let any of these cultivators who were loyal to the Great Luo Immortal Court escape.
