The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1555: Chapter 1555: World Power

The energy invading Jing Yan’s body is extremely peculiar; it seems to have a strange power, able to hypnotize the Divine Power within Jing Yan.

No matter how Jing Yan tries to operate the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, the Divine Power remains motionless.

The speed at which the invading energy erodes Jing Yan’s life force seems slow at first glance. But if Jing Yan cannot expel it, eventually his life force will be completely consumed. Without life force, Jing Yan will naturally die.

”Divine Power cannot operate!”

”Divine Soul Power also has no effect.”

”Damn it, even the external Power of Laws cannot be sensed.”

”What should I do?” Jing Yan roared in his heart, trying various methods.

”Little Black!” Jing Yan communicated through his thoughts with Little Black.

”Master! We seem to be in trouble. There’s an energy continuously attacking me, as if it wants to consume me.” Little Black’s voice entered Jing Yan’s mind.

”What? These damn things, they attack even you?” Jing Yan was increasingly shocked.

”Little Black, do you have any way to deal with it?” Jing Yan asked urgently.

”I tried, it’s useless! Source Power has no blocking force against this invading energy.” Little Black’s voice sounded anxious.

”Does this mean we can only wait for death?” Jing Yan’s eyes widened.

Right now, Jing Yan seems to be able to do nothing but stare. He can’t move a finger, not even blink. Jing Yan has lost complete control over his body.

A few days passed quickly.

During these days, Jing Yan continually tried to activate Divine Power, but not once was he successful.

Although Jing Yan tried to stay calm, gradually he found it difficult to maintain control because he discovered the speed at which the invading energy was consuming his life force seemed to be accelerating.

Initially, at that rate of consumption, it might take hundreds or thousands of years to swallow his entire life force. But only a few days had passed, and the rate of consumption seemed to have doubled.

Jing Yan himself couldn’t be certain, but Little Black’s validation assured him that the speed of the invading energy consuming his life force was indeed accelerating.

”No, if this continues, the speed at which my life force is consumed will likely increase more and more.” Jing Yan rapidly thought.

Another few days passed.

”Master, the invading energy has become stronger!” Little Black’s voice was now somewhat panicked.

”Yes, I feel it. The loss of my life force has accelerated once more. At the current speed, I might die in a few decades. Moreover, I’m sure that the speed at which this energy consumes life force won’t remain at this state; it will continue to accelerate.” Jing Yan was anxious and filled with helplessness.

”What is this place?”

”What on earth dragged me from Chaos here? If they wanted me dead, why not just kill me directly!” Jing Yan roared angrily in his heart.

”No! I cannot die silently here! I want to survive!”

Jing Yan’s thoughts moved, sensing the Qiankun Small World.

”Fortunately, the Qiankun Small World is still perceptible.” Jing Yan’s thoughts entered the Qiankun Small World.

At this moment, his body could no longer enter the Qiankun Small World.

Jing Yan’s thoughts communicated with the Fire Origin and the three other Five Elements Origin, and he attempted to use them.

However, here, the Five Elements Origin had lost its original effectiveness. Under Jing Yan’s thought activation, the Five Elements Origin showed no response. In this environment, Jing Yan also didn’t feel any law fluctuations.

”What should I do?”

”How can I stop the consumption of life force? Is there really no way? No! There must be a way!” Jing Yan’s Divine Thought swept through the Qiankun Small World.

”World Power?” Jing Yan’s eyes flashed.

Upon thinking of World Power, Jing Yan quickly exerted it to the fullest.

Previously, while at Iron Wall Castle, Jing Yan was developing and expanding Qiankun Small World, gradually constructing and transforming his Single World. During this process, Jing Yan initially mastered some World Power.

However, the amount of World Power Jing Yan grasped was still very little. Now, with no other method, he could only attempt anything to save himself.

”Hmm?” When World Power touched the invading strange force, Jing Yan’s mind trembled slightly.

”Effective? It’s actually effective?” Jing Yan couldn’t contain his joy; if he could make a sound, he surely would have let out a long howl to vent his pent-up emotions.

At the brink of despair, seeing hope, how could one’s heart not be ignited?

World Power had a very significant effect on the energy invading Jing Yan’s body. When Jing Yan consciously used World Power to block the invading energy, the speed at which the energy consumed Jing Yan’s life force noticeably slowed.

However, because Jing Yan’s grasp of World Power was too little, he couldn’t fully block this invading energy—let alone expel it completely. Nonetheless, this was far better than watching the life force disappear helplessly, waiting for death.

”How can I increase the strength and scale of World Power?”

”Although my Qiankun Small World is evolving, allowing me many insights during the process, I’m ultimately not a Heavenly Venerate. The World Power I possess is still crude. To rapidly increase the amount of World Power, it’s nearly impossible unless I reach the Heavenly Venerate Realm.”

”But... that’s absolutely impossible! Before my life force is exhausted, I can’t reach the Heavenly Venerate Realm.”

”Ultimately, what should I do?”

While controlling World Power to resist the invading energy, Jing Yan pondered his options.

Days passed, one after another.

In the battle between World Power and invading energy, gradually, Jing Yan discovered something extraordinary.

In a few unintended instances, Jing Yan found that the World Power he controlled exhibited intense fluctuations locally.

Overall, the World Power Jing Yan controlled was in a weak position against the invading energy. Although it could delay the invasion’s consumption of his life force, life force was still decreasing at a steady pace. Overall, this battle was in a defeated state. Yet, in the conflict between World Power and invading energy, Jing Yan sensed that in some subtle details, World Power seemed to have significantly strengthened.

As for how World Power enhanced, Jing Yan still hadn’t figured it out. But one thing was certain: this external enhancement had no relation to the evolution of the Qiankun Small World.

”Could it be that the enhancement of World Power is not necessarily related to the evolution within the Single World?” In Jing Yan’s mind, a sudden bold and surprising hypothesis emerged.
