The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1354: Chapter 1354: Spirit of Flames

Jing Yan activated his Divine Power, his figure rapidly flying forward, transforming into a stream of light in the Chaos.

Occasionally, he would also utilize the Ultimate Nihility to instantly move great distances ahead.

In the Chaos, everything was silent and still, with no sound at all wherever he passed.

Sometimes, enormous earthen yellow planets could be seen floating in the Chaos. Yet, on these planets, there was no wave of Life Aura.

The Chaos is boundless.

The Human Territory is just a corner of the Chaos.

In fact, the Human Territory is also vast, consisting of nine realms. The God Realm where Jing Yan is located is the Seventh Realm, one of the Nine Realms.

Legend has it that before the Great Cataclysm, in the Ancient Times, the Human Territory was ten times wider than it is now.

The Great Cataclysm occurred six hundred million years ago; it was a great calamity for humanity. In that calamity, countless strong individuals of the Human Clan were killed or injured. After paying an extremely heavy price, they eventually repelled the Sky Demon Clan.

The Heavenly Demon Puppet Jing Yan saw in the Red Demon Array of the Immortal Bridge Meeting was made from a Heavenly Demon Body. The Heavenly Demon Body is incredibly tough, and even ordinary Heavenly Demons are hard to damage by the Nine Tripods Main God.

It is said that the Demon King of the Sky Demon Clan is comparable to the human Heavenly Venerate level.

Heavenly Venerate!

It’s a true state of complete freedom, transcendent and eternal. Even Zhan Yue, recognized as the strongest in the Seventh Divine Domain, hasn’t reached the true realm of Heavenly Venerate.

...

Jing Yan continued his journey through the Chaos, advancing towards the Land of Descent.

Eighteen years later, Jing Yan arrived at an area tinged with reddish-brown.

A dense aura of death emanated from this area, spreading towards the surrounding endless Chaotic Space.

Terrifying Law fluctuations circulated around this area.

”According to my master’s guidance, this should be the Land of Descent, the Heavenly Venerate Tomb. This is the sitting land of a powerful Ancient Heavenly Venerate.”

”Over the long years, many Human Nine Tripods Main Gods have entered here, but almost none have returned.”

Standing at the edge of the reddish-brown area, Jing Yan’s emotions were stirred and difficult to calm.

”Whoosh!”

Jing Yan’s figure flickered as he rushed toward the reddish-brown area.

”Huala...”

Simultaneously, a mass of terrifying energy fluctuations erupted from within the reddish-brown area.

This mass of energy formed a massive red vortex.

In just the blink of an eye, it swallowed Jing Yan’s body. After Jing Yan’s figure disappeared, this red vortex quietly vanished, and the surrounding space returned to its previous calm, as if nothing had changed.

It was as if Jing Yan had never been there.

Swallowed by the vortex, Jing Yan felt a momentary darkness fall upon him. A mighty pressure descended, and he hastily pushed his Divine Power in the Divine Sea to the extreme, resisting the overwhelming Power pressing in on all sides.

All his senses disappeared, and everything became a blur, even his Divine Thought could not reach out.

He didn’t know how long it had passed, but his senses gradually began to recover, and the surrounding scene came into view.

Flames, flames burning everywhere.

As Jing Yan’s senses returned, the temperature of the surrounding space suddenly soared. Scorching heat washed over him.

Jing Yan’s expression tightened, as the Divine Power in his Divine Sea frantically surged around his body, defending against the terrible heat.

In this endless sea of fire, Jing Yan felt his Divine Power being consumed at an alarming rate.

”I must escape this fiery area as soon as possible; my Divine Power is depleting too quickly, and even with High-level Divine Crystals, it’s hard to replenish.” Jing Yan thought.

His figure darted forward.

Jing Yan attempted to use the Ultimate Nihility, but within this sea of fire, the effect of the Ultimate Nihility was greatly reduced. One instant movement only covered a span of tens of thousands of meters.

”It’s terrifying!”

”If an ordinary Nine Tripods Main God were in this environment, they might not even last the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before being incinerated.” Jing Yan was shocked.

He had no idea how vast this sea of fire was. When he extended his Divine Thought, it couldn’t cover much distance; after just a few hundred meters, it was completely burned away by the endless flames.

Even Divine Thought was burned.

At that moment, within the sea of fire, a red shadow hid. The red figure seemed entirely composed of flames. Its red eyes were full of murderous intent. At this moment, it floated quietly in the flames, simply watching Jing Yan fly through the fire.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on its face.

”Another little one has come in!”

”A little human!”

”Hahaha, it’s playtime again. It’s been so long since a human came in; it’s been lonely!” emitted the red shadow with a low voice, laced with excitement.

It waved its arm.

In its hand, a giant axe-shaped weapon gradually formed from the flames.

”Buzz!”

It moved, charging towards Jing Yan. Its speed was lightning-fast, unaffected by the flames, as if it was a spirit of the fire.

In mid-flight, Jing Yan suddenly felt a pang of unease, halting his movement and locking his gaze in one direction. From that direction, something terrifying seemed to be rapidly approaching him.

What is that?

Jing Yan tensed up entirely, staring unblinkingly in that direction.

”What is that...”

Jing Yan finally saw the red shadow almost completely hidden in the flames. From it, Jing Yan sensed an incredibly dangerous aura.

”Slash!”

Without any hesitation, Jing Yan summoned the Acquired Spiritual Treasure Colorful Cloud Sword, and swung it directly towards that direction. The colorful Sword Light sliced through the flames. The powerful energy temporarily parted the endless flames.

As the Sword Light approached the red shadow, it became clearer. Unexpectedly, the Sword Light struck the red shadow directly. With the terrible sweep of Sword Light, the red shadow collapsed instantly, scattering into countless sparks, dispersing into the surrounding space.

”Phew...” Jing Yan exhaled.

”Was it that easy to kill?” Jing Yan narrowed his eyes. Though he had shattered the red shadow with one sword strike, he didn’t feel relieved at all.

Jing Yan found it unexpectedly easy. The red shadow had given him such a strong sense of danger, it couldn’t have been an illusion. Something that caused such apprehension couldn’t be killed so easily!

”Hmm?” Jing Yan’s eyes widened.

He saw the red shadow shattered by his Sword Intent into thousands of sparks, reassemble, reverting to its original form.
