Terran Guardian - Chapter 4194

Chapter 4169 Life and Death Are Not a Matter

The Taiyi Immortal Sect’s arena was blocked.

No matter what,

Doujing Dao Palace couldn’t back down.

Otherwise, if the news got out, wouldn’t they lose all face?

Not only that,

but even the Dao hearts of the Dao Palace disciples could be affected. Therefore

, in Zhichang Great Sage’s view, Doujing Dao Palace had no reason to retreat. He also wanted to use this opportunity to test the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s strength. A victory in this battle would greatly damage the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s reputation. After all, many forces were secretly coveting this battle. The name of the Supreme Immortal Sect was still something to be feared. But if the Taiyi Immortal Sect lost, and the Supreme Immortal Sect’s reputation was shattered, that would be a different story. “The arena competition is fine, but I don’t know the rules. I think that since this is mainly for friendly sparring, it’s best not to cause any deaths, so as not to ruin the harmony between the two sides!” Zhichang Great Sage said slowly. Tai Ming Great Sage gave his opponent a deep look, his expression unchanged: “When cultivators fight, there are bound to be times when they can’t control themselves. Unless the participant concedes defeat, life or death is irrelevant. Furthermore, no cultivator may interfere without authorization, and the victor may remain in the arena until they are defeated!” Upon hearing this, Zhi Chang Great Sage understood the other party’s intentions. He glanced at the white-robed youth behind Tai Ming Great Sage but did not refuse. Luo Xinghe, ranked third on the Immortal Emperor Stele! This was the reliance of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. However, Zhi Chang Great Sage was not afraid. So what if he was third on the Immortal Emperor Stele? Dou Jing Dao Palace was not without its foundations, and He Yan was also a prodigy on the Immortal Emperor Stele; his strength was not necessarily much weaker than Luo Xinghe’s. Furthermore, with other disciples of Dou Jing Dao Palace stepping in to weaken Luo Xinghe’s strength first, the outcome was still uncertain. Therefore, Zhi Chang Great Sage naturally did not refuse Tai Ming Great Sage’s proposal. Soon, a true disciple from the Taiyi Immortal Sect stepped onto the arena, looking towards the Doujing Dao Palace, his voice ringing out, ” Zhu Ling, true disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, who dares to challenge me!” The Doujing Dao Palace remained silent for a moment before a cultivator stepped onto the arena. “I will slay you!” The opponent attacked first, and Zhu Ling calmly countered. The two immediately went all out, their powerful energy tearing through layers of space, sweeping across the entire arena. However, the arena was bound by Daoist restrictions, and no matter how strong the power, it was difficult to truly break through the constraints. While the two clashed, many powerful figures in various parts of the void watched this battle. “Two of their disciples are top-tier Immortal Emperors; the foundation of such a force is truly astonishing!” “It seems that this person from Doujing Dao Palace has little chance of winning—” “The odds of victory in this battle don’t lie with the other disciples, but with Luo Xinghe and He Yan. One is third on the Immortal Emperor Stele, and the other is forty-seventh. The ranking difference is considerable. I wonder if He Yan can be Luo Xinghe’s opponent!” Divine thoughts intertwined as these powerful figures watched the battle on the arena, their attention focused on Luo Xinghe and He Yan respectively. Everyone could see that the key to this battle lay with these two; the other disciples were somewhat inferior in comparison. Logically speaking, Luo Xinghe’s strength was much greater. After all, his ranking was undeniable. Third on the Immortal Emperor Stele—such strength spoke volumes. However, nothing is absolute. The ranking on the Immortal Emperor Stele cannot determine everything. There are many geniuses who could rank high on the Immortal Emperor Stele, yet they remain hidden, their rankings lower than others, but their strength is by no means weak. Moreover… This battle wasn’t just between two people. The Doujing Dao Palace side had many true disciples, and if it truly went to war, the outcome was uncertain. However, regardless of the outcome, this battle wasn’t detrimental to them; it provided a good opportunity to assess the true strength of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. If the Taiyi Immortal Sect couldn’t even handle a single Doujing Dao Palace, then they could make their next move. Even if the Doujing Dao Palace was defeated and its strength greatly diminished, that was still acceptable. Whether the battle ended in a draw or both sides were severely injured, they could still strategize and gain some benefits. For now, however, it was best to observe and wait. … “Hoo!” Inside the first level of the Seven Profound Divine Tower, Shen Changqing opened his eyes, sensing the slight changes in his body, his expression calm. “In this era of dramatic changes, the rules of Heaven suppress cultivation, but they don’t significantly affect the improvement of cultivators’ strength. Those who should break through still break through, and those who should improve still improve, but the improved strength is difficult to truly unleash. At this rate, it won’t be long before my physical strength breaks through to the level of a sixth-grade innate imperial weapon!” Shen Changqing thought to himself. Under normal circumstances, the cultivation of the Zhou Tian Great Sun Glazed Body emphasizes simultaneous progress; improving physical defense and tempering blood and qi are equally important. Otherwise, simply improving physical defense would only make one an unkillable target. If the strength difference is too great, even if one cannot be killed, one can be easily suppressed, making it difficult to escape. However, things are different now. Everyone’s cultivation is at the Immortal Emperor level, highlighting the advantage of improved physical defense. If the physical body can break through to a level comparable to a sixth-grade innate imperial weapon, the subsequent battle against the Taiyi Immortal Sect will be much more promising. However, this is easier said than done; every improvement in physical defense requires refining a large amount of immortal ore and divine stones. Such resource consumption is beyond the capacity of ordinary forces to bear.

In other words, Shen Changqing had previously slaughtered numerous cultivators, destroyed many forces, and plundered a large amount of resources. He had also gained considerable benefits from suppressing the Great Luo Immortal Court and other three major forces, which is why he wasn’t afraid of the so-called consumption.

Currently, he possessed abundant cultivation resources, more than enough to support his physical breakthrough.

If he could destroy the Taiyi Immortal Sect and divide the resources of such a supreme sect, let alone a sixth-grade innate emperor weapon body, even a ninth-grade innate emperor weapon body, or even a body comparable to a saint, would likely be no problem.

Of course,

this was on the premise

that he could destroy the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

“If my physical body could advance to a ninth-grade innate emperor weapon, or even reach the level of a saint, then in this era of dramatic changes in the world, no one would be able to threaten me anymore.

Even if a cultivator wielded a top-tier ultimate divine weapon, I would not be afraid!”

A glint flashed in Shen Changqing’s eyes, and then his divine sense entered the Demon God Mirror, where a flood of information immediately appeared.

A moment later,

he had fully digested this information.

“Doujing Dao Palace… After the upheaval of the world, many forces have been eyeing such supreme sects. But this is good; having Doujing Dao Palace weakens the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s strength, making the subsequent battle much easier.”

From the beginning, Shen Changqing had the acquired demon gods of the Donghua Immortal Domain secretly monitor the Taiyi Immortal Sect, reporting any information immediately.

The commotion caused by the Taiyi Immortal Sect and Doujing Dao Palace was considerable; it would be difficult for the Xingdao Alliance not to know.

To be honest, Shen Changqing didn’t know much about Doujing Dao Palace.

After all, the Donghua Immortal Domain was vast, far surpassing the Xingluo Immortal Domain.

Although both were immortal domains, the Donghua Immortal Domain’s vastness was equivalent to hundreds of Xingluo Immortal Domains.

This was the terrifying power of a supreme immortal domain.

The area of a single immortal state was different from that of 1800 immortal domains.

In fact,

the more expansive the immortal domain, the higher its ranking.

After all, such vast immortal realms can accommodate numerous forces and cultivators, often giving them an absolute advantage in the Heavenly Dao Battlefield, thus ensuring a high ranking.

Conversely,

smaller immortal realms with weaker forces will not rank very high.

In short,

the strong in the immortal realms remain strong.

The more vast the immortal realm, the higher its ranking; the higher the ranking, the more powerful the immortal realm. This cycle repeats, and other immortal realms fall further behind, making it extremely difficult to truly replace them.

Doujing Dao Palace is not a supreme immortal sect and has no connection with the Seven Profound Dao Sect, so Shen Changqing didn’t pay much attention to such a force.

However, the information from the Dao Alliance now includes detailed information about Doujing Dao Palace.

Shen Changqing now has some understanding of this force.

Doujing Dao Palace has Great Saints in charge, and not just one.

Such a force is not weak, but compared to the Taiyi Immortal Sect, it’s worlds apart.

Before the cataclysmic changes in the world, a force of this level would never dare to offend the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

However, with the dramatic changes in the world and the fall of the Supreme Immortal Sect, even forces at the level of Doujing Dao Palace saw an opportunity.

Immediately following,

Shen Changqing subtly activated his Free Transformation Technique, using the Acquired Demon God as a vessel. His vision shifted, and soon an arena appeared before him.

From the perspective of the Acquired Demon God, Shen Changqing could observe everything on the arena.

Simultaneously, the numerous hidden auras in the void did not escape his perception.

It was clear that the battle between the Taiyi Immortal Sect and Doujing Dao Palace had attracted the attention of many forces. Among the cultivators secretly observing, there were no fewer than a hundred auras at the Immortal Emperor level.

Of course, among these hundred Immortal Emperor auras, not all were simply Immortal Emperors.

Shen Changqing could determine that among these secretly observing cultivators, there must be some who had reached the pinnacle of immortality.

However, under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao rules, even those who had achieved immortality were currently only slightly stronger Immortal Emperors.

In comparison, the acquired demon god currently serving as the vessel is somewhat weaker, only at the level of a half-step Immortal Emperor.

However, all forces are currently focused on the arena, and no one cares about a mere half-step Immortal Emperor ant.

“The Doujing Dao Palace is not weak; among the true disciples of the Immortal Emperor realm, there are indeed those who can rival the Taiyi Immortal Sect!”

Shen Changqing watched the battle on the arena, where two cultivators were currently locked in combat. The opponents were using all their methods, with the illusory image of the nine directions of the inner universe suppressing the sky, and various supreme treasures and divine powers being frequently unleashed, as if they were mortal enemies, locked in a life-or-death struggle.

In less than a moment, Shen Changqing could see the result.

“The true disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect is about to be defeated!”
