The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1224: Chapter 1224: A Bolt from the Blue

Calm down!

As the turbulent energy dissipated between heaven and earth, the scene at the center of the battlefield gradually became clearer.

Hundreds of miles away, Zhu Chun and others could see without hindrance, clearly viewing the silhouette at the center, a figure in a blue robe, holding a colorful longsword.

That figure spans the heavens and earth!

”Brother Yan, he...” Zhu Chun murmured at the corner of his mouth.

What did they see?

They saw Yan Jin whom they knew standing, while the Eastern Domain’s killing madman Demon Zhao lay on the ground, not far from Yan Jin’s feet.

Then they saw Yan Jin reach out and pick up Demon Zhao’s black longsword.

Demon Zhao was dead.

If Demon Zhao hadn’t died, how could he be lying on the ground, how could he let Yan Jin take his Acquired Spiritual Treasure weapon? All signs proved that Demon Zhao was completely dead, and the Yan Jin they knew was still alive. Yan Jin had killed the fierce Demon Zhao.

Xiang Chaosong made a gulping sound from his throat, his face displaying a stupefied expression.

Fairy Hong Jue was similarly dumbstruck.

”How is this possible? How could this be?” Fu Ying Fairy, who had always looked down on Jing Yan, murmured with alluring red lips.

Who could have imagined that this battle would end with Demon Zhao being slain? No one could have foreseen this ending, they hadn’t even considered such a notion. From the time they knew Jing Yan, they never believed his Martial Arts Cultivation would be so strong.

When the name Yan Jin appeared on the Demon Hunting List, they only thought that Lord Domain secretly manipulated things to help Yan Jin, which allowed his name to enter the top fifty of the list. For this, they scoffed and expressed disdain towards Yan Jin.

But now, they understood. Lord Domain’s attention to Yan Jin was due to his terrifying strength to the extreme. Demon Zhao had been slain by Yan Jin, a super strong True God who pursued ordinary Main Gods!

Fu Ying regretted it somewhat, regretting her past indifference to Jing Yan. Such a strong, young and handsome person, where could she find such a Daoist couple? She actually... always treated such a Heaven’s Chosen Son with cold attitude!

Outside the Upper Pure Secret Realm!

A red dot suddenly disappeared on the light wall.

When this red dot disappeared, everyone’s eyes turned to the platform. However, no figure was transmitted out on the platform.

Everyone immediately realized that someone had died inside the Secret Realm again.

Hao Yuntian’s heart skipped a beat. His face, which had always been indifferent, showed an extremely obvious change. Even his breath became heavy.

”Damn it! Damn it!” Hao Yuntian roared inwardly; he wanted to shout loudly to vent, but ultimately kept silent. Only his gaze remained icy.

”Cloud Sky Domain Master, it’s not necessarily Yan Jin who died inside the Secret Realm now; we are unclear about the situation inside.” Southern Domain Lord looked at Hao Yuntian and said.

He wasn’t gloating, but genuinely regretting it. Frankly, if Southern Domain Lord and Western Domain Lord had to choose between Eastern Domain Zhao Duan and Northern Domain Yan Jin, they would choose Demon Zhao to perish without hesitation.

For countless years, Southern, Western, and Northern Domains have been suppressed by the Eastern Domain. Although the four Jade Stream Divine Domains are considered one, only divided by the Flame Demon Space. Yet, in the four domains, there are many competitive relationships. Not to mention, the Upper Pure Secret Realm is one of the competitions.

Why does the Eastern Domain have a hundred seats, while the other three Divine Domains only have fifty each?

The Southern, Western, and Northern Divine Domains do not want to see the Eastern Domain growing stronger. Although strengthening the Eastern Domain would benefit restricting Flame Demon Space, it’s equally difficult for the three other Divine Domains.

”Yes! Yun Tian, there are still many uncertain factors. Perhaps, it’s just an insignificant martial artist who died inside.” Western Domain Lord nodded in agreement.

”Heh... do you two really think so?” Hao Yuntian let out a bitter laugh.

The two Domain Masters exchanged glances and fell silent. They understood that the recently disappeared red dot mostly likely meant the Northern Domain martial artist named Yan Jin was dead.

To withstand Demon Zhao’s hands for a full thirty minutes, such strength was already impressive. Yet, he ultimately died at Demon Zhao’s hands.

Both Northern Domain Taiyu and Yan Jin died, which is evidently a heavy blow to the Northern Domain.

But the two could only sigh helplessly in their hearts. Otherwise, what else could they do?

Chen Qi Domain Master stood nearby, always silent, his eyes containing excitement that he hid well. He didn’t go to feign comfort for Hao Yuntian, knowing full well that no matter what he said now, Hao Yuntian would resist from the heart, thinking it was hypocrisy. Therefore, it’s best to remain silent.

”Dead! Finally dead!” Liu Yifan suppressed the joy in his heart, bowing his head, fearing Hao Yuntian Domain Master would see the smile on his face.

”Brother Jiao, it seems Zhu Chun and the others will soon come out?” Liu Yifan calmed his mood, then glanced at Jiao Zhan, saying strangely.

”Yes! Demon Zhao has already killed Yan Jin; his next target must be Zhu Chun and the others.” Jiao Zhan nodded.

Inside the Secret Realm.

Jing Yan collected Demon Zhao’s Acquired Spiritual Treasure longsword and also took the mobile space left not far away into the Qiankun Small World.

Immediately after, his gaze swept to the distant Eastern Domain martial artists.

At this time, those dozen or so Eastern Domain martial artists all felt a chilling coldness spread throughout their bodies; just one look from Jing Yan felt like dropping into an ice pit, shivering with cold.

”Earlier, you were the ones shouting for Zhao Duan to kill me, right?” Jing Yan said softly.

But this soft voice, in an instant, traveled hundreds of miles away, falling into the ears of these dozen Eastern Domain martial artists. To them, it was like a bolt from the blue, like thunder blasting in their ears.

”Whoosh!” Jing Yan stepped and flew towards the dozen Eastern Domain martial artists, rapidly approaching.

None of these dozen Eastern Domain martial artists were good things. Before Jing Yan had yet to engage with Demon Zhao, these people were excitedly yelling for their Brother Zhao Duan to kill Jing Yan.

Now that Demon Zhao was dead, Jing Yan didn’t mind exterminating these ten or more Eastern Domain people here. Of course, Jing Yan also knew this was unlikely. Even if he used all his means and deployed the Gravity Domain, he could at most kill one or two among them. The others would definitely activate the directional Teleportation Array to leave the Upper Pure Secret Realm.
