The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180: Doomed Either Way?

After Rui An’s strike, the five guardians didn’t halt their attacks on the Swallow Void Beast either. Their assault managed to restrain the beast’s movement, making their combined attack seem like a web, restricting the Swallow Void Beast at every turn.

After striking the Swallow Void Beast with his first sword, Rui An’s second sword attack immediately followed.

Unexpectedly, the second sword directly tore through the beast’s external body.

Jing Yan could see the dazzling Sword Light entering the Swallow Void Beast’s body, wreaking havoc inside. The beast struggled frantically.

”Roar!”

”Boom!” The Swallow Void Beast let out a furious scream, its four hooves kicking madly in the void.

”Beast, trying to escape? Hmph, where do you think you can go in my hands?”

Rui An’s voice echoed from afar.

At this moment, the Swallow Void Beast indeed showed signs of trying to flee. It kicked with all four hooves, its enormous body straining with all its might to shake off the troubles posed by the five guardians, moving towards the left of the Void Divine Ship.

However, Rui An was faster. As he shouted, the Sword Light of the third sword had already slashed out.

The Swallow Void Beast suddenly turned around, as if it sensed a deadly danger, deciding to fight to the death.

The horn on its head aimed directly at the third Sword Light. At this moment, Rui An’s second Sword Light was still wreaking havoc inside the beast.

”Puff!”

The third Sword Light shattered the beast’s horn, piercing into its head.

The gigantic body of the Swallow Void Beast trembled violently.

”Roar!” It let out a final, heartrending roar.

Subsequently, its aura quickly weakened.

In a breath’s time, its huge body began to dissolve. And, the speed of this dissolution was exceedingly fast.

Although quite some distance away, Jing Yan could sense that the energy within the beast’s body seemed to be disintegrating, merging into the Endless Void. Around the beast, the Void Yin Wind noticeably intensified.

After a moment, the once gigantic Swallow Void Beast completely vanished.

At this juncture, Rui An expanded a larger Energy Barrier around himself. Then, he put away his black greatsword and, with a swift motion, darted into the space where the Swallow Void Beast was slain.

”Is it over?” Jing Yan exhaled heavily.

Rui An made his move, slaying the Swallow Void Beast in three strikes.

Though the beast was not fully matured, and its combat power wasn’t that strong, even such a Swallow Void Beast would be enough to make ordinary Main God strong people avoid it like the plague. Yet Rui An killed it in just three sword strikes.

Just how strong is Rui An’s power?

Jing Yan’s mood didn’t lighten up because of the beast’s slaughter. He was already contemplating how to rid himself of Rui An.

If Rui An had the chance to attack him, it might not even take three strikes, perhaps just one would obliterate him completely at this point.

”First, the five personal guards consume the Swallow Void Beast’s energy, then utilizing the strongest attacks, swiftly execute the beast. This is how Elder Rui An operates,” Wen Zhuo softly, almost inadvertently remarked next to Jing Yan.

”Elder Rui An obtained a good item again! After the Swallow Void Beast dies, its entire body is pure energy, so it dissolves entirely into the Endless Void. However, on its body, a Swallowing Void Crystal Stone is left behind. This is truly a precious item!” Wen Zhuo continued.

The Swallowing Void Crystal Stone contains the Power of Space and Dark Laws, an invaluable treasure assisting Martial Artists in comprehending Space and Dark Laws.

Even the Swallowing Void Crystal Stone from an immature Swallow Void Beast can be valued at hundreds of billions of Divine Crystals. Main God Level strong people, particularly, place great importance on the Swallowing Void Crystal Stone.

”Yan Jin Alchemist, shall we also head back? The Swallow Void Beast has been slain, the danger is over.” Wen Zhuo turned to glance at the meditating Jing Yan and said.

”Mm.” Jing Yan nodded at Wen Zhuo’s words.

Subsequently, the two returned to the middle layer of the Void Divine Ship.

Though the Swallow Void Beast was killed, the Void Divine Ship did not immediately set off again. Having been attacked by the beast several times before, the Array Formation Restriction of the ship suffered slight damage; it needed repair before the ship could continue its journey to the Emperor Extreme Divine Domain.

The repair took over a decade.

There were too many Array Formation Restrictions in the Void Divine Ship, so even though many Array Masters were involved in the repair, the time needed was still long.

This was with the restrictions being not greatly damaged; if the damage were severe, it could take centuries to repair.

Over a decade later, the Void Divine Ship resumed its forward journey.

”What to do?”

”That old bastard Rui An, although he’s kept silent, I can feel he harbors ill thoughts towards me. He has certainly not forgotten me!” Jing Yan sat cross-legged in his room, feeling intense pressure.

Having witnessed Rui An slay the Swallow Void Beast with three strikes, Jing Yan was even more anxious.

Currently, it seems that only becoming a Main God Level strong person would give me hope of escape.

However, becoming a Main God in a short time is unrealistic. Jing Yan wasn’t arrogant enough to think he could condense a Divine Core and step into the Main God Realm before reaching the Emperor Extreme Divine Domain.

Yet, without stepping into the Main God Realm, as soon as he reached the Emperor Extreme Divine Domain, it might spell his doom. On the Void Divine Ship, Rui An refrained from acting due to the prestige of the Purple Spirit Commerce. However, upon arrival at the Void City, Rui An could easily find a chance to strike.

”Damn, is it truly a dead end?” Frustrated, Jing Yan could not find any way to escape.

Even with Wen Zhuo’s help, sneaking out quietly from inside the Void Divine Ship would only leave him adrift in the vast Endless Void, which would mean inevitable death eventually.

”Stop overthinking, better focus on comprehending the Sword Intent Divine Ability! If I can elevate the Sword Intent Divine Ability to the Super Divine Ability of the Sword Intent Domain, perhaps I’ll have a greater chance of surviving.” Quickly discarding all miscellaneous thoughts, Jing Yan focused his mind, continuing to comprehend the Sword Intent Divine Ability, trying to pierce through to the final layer of the Sword Intent Domain.

Thus, decades passed once more.

”Mr. Yan Jin!”

Wen Zhuo came to Jing Yan’s residence outside and called out.

Feeling a movement in his heart, Jing Yan immediately came out of the Qiankun Small World and then opened the door, indeed seeing Manager Wen Zhuo standing outside.

”Manager Wen Zhuo!” Jing Yan cupped his hands, ”Please come in to talk!”

”Alright, excuse me!” After exchanging courtesies, Wen Zhuo entered Jing Yan’s room.

”Yan Jin Alchemist! In about thirty years, the Void Divine Ship will reach the Void City of the Emperor Extreme Divine Domain.” After sitting down, Wen Zhuo spoke oddly.
