The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 969: Chapter 969 Chaos

As soon as the captains of the Heavenly Extinction Divine Palace and the Winter Divine Palace finished speaking, Zhang Li of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace let out a cold laugh.

His gaze slowly swept across the others.

”Aren’t you trying to break the rules?” Zhang Li said in a deep voice.

The rules he spoke of were set by the Four Great Forces.

The Four Great Divine Palaces each built a Guiding Divine Palace at every entry point to avoid conflict, establishing a particular rule. For the natives coming from low-class worlds, the Four Great Divine Palaces must not forcibly seize or coerce them but respect the natives’ own choices.

Zhang Li’s words made the two slightly change their expressions, but they didn’t say anything more.

In fact, Jing Yan didn’t care about threats. Since he had chosen the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, he would not easily change his mind.

”Captain Zhang Li, I’m certain of choosing the Luo Jiu Divine Palace,” Jing Yan said once again.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, I must say, your choice is wise.” Zhang Li smiled, ”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, follow me, we shall set off for the Luo Jiu Divine Palace.”

”Alright.” Jing Yan nodded.

Following the guards of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace’s Guiding Divine Palace, Jing Yan entered the Divine Hall.

Upon entering, Jing Yan noticed an unusual place and cast his gaze upon it.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, this is a small Transmission Array. In the low-class world, you probably haven’t seen such a Space Transmission Array.” Seeing Jing Yan staring at the array, Zhang Li spoke up.

”Transmission Array?” Jing Yan’s eyes flashed.

”Yes, by using this Transmission Array, we can be directly sent outside Luo Jiu City. The journey from here to Luo Jiu City is extremely far. Without the Transmission Array, relying on flight to travel would take too much time,” Zhang Li explained.

Curiosity arose within Jing Yan.

He indeed had never seen or used a Transmission Array.

”You all continue to stay here. I’ll take Fellow Daoist Jing Yan back to the Divine Palace first,” Zhang Li ordered his three team members.

”Captain, you take Fellow Daoist Jing Yan and go. We will guard here without any issues,” one team member said with a laugh.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, please!” Zhang Li gestured for Jing Yan to step into the Transmission Array.

”Thank you.” Jing Yan cupped his hands.

The two stepped into the Transmission Array.

Jing Yan instantly released his Divine Soul, trying to perceive the principles of the Transmission Array. The mysterious law aura deeply shook Jing Yan. With his current ability, he still could not fathom the mysteries contained within. However, one thing was for sure: the Transmission Array relied on Space Law.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, be careful, the Transmission Array is about to start.” Following Zhang Li’s words, Jing Yan felt a surge of energy pulling him over. Suddenly, his vision darkened, and even his Divine Soul’s perception was forcibly interrupted.

However, this sensation quickly disappeared; in just the time of a breath, the scene before him resumed as normal.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, we have arrived outside Luo Jiu City,” Zhang Li’s voice sounded by his side.

Jing Yan observed his surroundings. Indeed, he was no longer inside the Guiding Divine Palace, but in a field of black wilderness. Yet, beyond ten thousand meters, there was a uniform cluster of buildings.

As soon as Zhang Li and Jing Yan exited the Transmission Array, figures swiftly flew out from that cluster of buildings. A squad of a hundred Void Gods quickly surrounded them.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, don’t worry, this is our Luo Jiu Divine Palace’s stationed military, responsible for guarding this Transmission Array,” Zhang Li promptly explained to Jing Yan.

”Greetings, General Wu Tai!” Zhang Li respectfully greeted the leader of the approaching group.

General Wu Tai looked at Zhang Li, then at Jing Yan.

”Captain Zhang Li, is this the new native?” General Wu Tai knew Zhang Li and was aware that Zhang Li was the Guard Captain of the Guiding Divine Palace.

”Reporting to the General, this is Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, who just ascended from the low-class world,” Zhang Li replied respectfully.

General Wu Tai’s status in the Luo Jiu Divine Palace was evidently much higher than Zhang Li’s. Naturally, his strength was also formidable. Jing Yan sensed that the other party was a Five-star Void God level powerhouse.

”Hmm, go ahead and take him back to the Divine Palace,” General Wu Tai waved his hand.

”Yes!” Zhang Li cupped his hands again.

”Swish!” Immediately after, Zhang Li waved his hand, releasing a pitch-black warship.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, please board the ship with me,” Zhang Li said to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan didn’t hesitate and quickly boarded the warship that Zhang Li had brought out. The warship wasn’t very large, only about twenty meters in length. However, its material and the embedded Formation were quite advanced, far more complex than the Holy Artifact warships in the low-class world. Of course, it could not reach the level of a Divine Artifact.

Even in the God Realm, Divine Artifacts were quite rare. Ordinary Void Gods simply had no opportunity to obtain a Divine Artifact. Even in major powers like the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, the lower-level members likely didn’t possess Divine Artifacts.

Zhang Li activated the Formation on the warship, which then began to fly at high speed. In terms of speed, it was indeed much faster than the Holy Artifact warships of the low-class world, but compared to Jing Yan’s flying speed, it was much slower.

Jing Yan didn’t say much. After all, he wasn’t in a hurry. According to Zhang Li, they were now in the outskirts of Luo Jiu City, so getting to Luo Jiu City shouldn’t take much time.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, whatever you see along the way, there’s no need to pay attention,” Zhang Li advised Jing Yan.

”What does Captain Zhang Li mean?” Jing Yan didn’t quite understand Zhang Li’s words.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan will soon know,” Zhang Li smiled but did not elaborate.

Seeing Zhang Li like this, Jing Yan didn’t ask further.

Just as Zhang Li had said, it wasn’t long before Jing Yan understood what Zhang Li meant.

It was too chaotic.

From the warship, one could see constant battles happening on the vast plains, and significant-scale wars involving hundreds of Martial Artists could be seen.

Death seemed commonplace here. A savage killing aura permeated the space, and some battles close to the ship allowed the screams of Martial Artists to be heard.

Jing Yan watched these scenes and couldn’t help but be moved. He knew the God Realm was chaotic, having heard about it from those who descended from the God Realm while in the low-class world, but he hadn’t expected it to be this chaotic. This was still the wilderness outside Luo Jiu City—how much worse would it be elsewhere?

”Captain Zhang Li, why are they slaughtering each other like this?” Jing Yan asked Zhang Li.

”For survival, for cultivation, and to vie for scarce resources,” Zhang Li sighed, ”The Divine Domain is vast and resourceful, but the number of Martial Artists is even greater. To cultivate and enhance one’s power is not easy. In such a circumstance, if you don’t kill, you will be killed.”

”This should be within the jurisdiction of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace. Doesn’t the Luo Jiu Divine Palace intervene?” Jing Yan asked in surprise.

”Intervening is neither possible nor necessary. Through such a process, those who survive are almost all elites. The weak are destined to be eliminated,” Zhang Li explained.
