The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1888: Chapter 1888: Divine Soul Body Enhancement

Nuwa Palace Master was also somewhat surprised that Jing Yan ventured into Reincarnation.

If Jing Yan had told her in advance that he wanted to go through Reincarnation, she would definitely have dissuaded him. Although the Heavenly Palace core disciples have the qualification to venture into Reincarnation, there are restrictions. A core disciple can only attempt the Reincarnation Path once in a billion years. The core disciples of the Heavenly Palace all value this opportunity to venture into Reincarnation.

Going through Reincarnation indeed brings extremely significant benefits to cultivation.

The Reincarnation Path, as a treasured artifact of Hongjun Heavenly Palace, is by no means comparable to the ordinary treasures in Chaos.

The Reincarnation Path itself is a treasure with immense power, excelling in both offense and defense with top-tier Chaos power. Ancestor Hong Jun left the Reincarnation Path within the Hongjun Heavenly Palace mainly for two considerations.

One is to guard the Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

The other is to provide the core disciples of the Heavenly Palace an opportunity to train and enhance their strength.

Under normal circumstances, only a part of the Reincarnation Path’s capabilities is activated. When the Hongjun Heavenly Palace is attacked from outside, the full power of the Reincarnation Path is unleashed. With the Reincarnation Path present, even if Ancestor Hong Jun is not within the Heavenly Palace, the Hongjun Heavenly Palace can withstand the assaults of ultimate strong people.

This is the power of a top-tier Chaos treasure.

Of course, the Five Ultimate Forces of the Endless Chaos also possess treasures of this level.

At this moment, Jing Yan has entered the Reincarnation Path.

The Reincarnation Path has a total of seven layers, and Jing Yan is currently in the First Layer.

”Taoist Law!”

Upon entering, he instantly sensed a rich Tao Aura.

The Tao Aura inside the Hongjun Heavenly Palace is already much denser than the outside world, but within the Reincarnation Path, it’s ten times thicker than inside the Heavenly Palace.

Training within such a dense Tao Aura atmosphere, it’s hard not to progress quickly.

”This is exhilarating!”

”This feeling is somewhat similar to consuming leaves of the Primordial Chaos Tree.” Jing Yan’s eyes sparkled, taking a deep breath.

Of course, the training effects of the dense Tao Aura within the Reincarnation Path can’t compare to consuming the leaves of the Primordial Chaos Tree. But even so, it exceeded Jing Yan’s expectations.

”Boom!”

At that moment, the space in front of Jing Yan suddenly twisted, and a towering figure appeared.

Its entire body was dark, with horns on its head, and its sharp claws glistened with a chilling sheen.

”Devouring Heaven Clan!”

”No, not a true Devouring Sky Clan lifeform, but something special between a puppet and a life form, a guardian monster of the First Layer of the Reincarnation Path.” Jing Yan’s gaze turned to the monster ahead.

This monster, strictly speaking, is actually a Devouring Sky Clan entity. Nevertheless, its memory has been erased, and through special means, its body has been compressed to a size similar to most life forms in Chaos.

However, its strength has hardly diminished at all.

The monster in the First Layer has a strength equivalent to that of a typical All Things Realm. Its realm is that of the Fifth-step Dao Method Realm.

The combat power of Devouring Sky Clan creatures is extremely formidable. In a short burst, a Fifth-step Dao Method Realm Devouring Sky Clan creature can rival that of an ordinary All Things Realm. Among the countless races and life forms in the Endless Chaos, only the topmost elite few can battle with Devouring Sky Clan creatures of the same realm.

Like Die Dong, who was slain by Jing Yan, and Qing Lian from the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, they are of this caliber.

The Devouring Sky Clan creature Ju E that Jing Yan killed in the Laning National Border was only at the Four-step Dao Method Realm cultivation.

”If you want to train in the Reincarnation Path, first defeat me!” The monster in front of Jing Yan uttered in a low voice.

Jing Yan didn’t waste words, directly drawing out the Colorful Cloud Sword, and slashed it out.

The monster swung its claws, black light spreading to resist the Sword Light released by Jing Yan.

”Bang!” The monster was struck back by the immense force.

Jing Yan furrowed his brows.

”After being reforged, this monster’s defense seems stronger than a genuine Devouring Sky Clan creature. Its attack power is somewhat diminished. But with increased defense, defeating this monster has become much more challenging. After all, I only have thirty minutes.” Jing Yan pondered.

There are only thirty minutes to battle the monster. If he can’t slay the monster within the stipulated time, the challenge will be a failure, and he’ll be transported out of the Reincarnation Path, wasting an opportunity to enter. The next chance to venture into the Reincarnation Path would be a billion years later.

”Roar!” The monster, repelled by Jing Yan, roared in anger and lunged fiercely towards Jing Yan.

”Let’s end this battle soon!” Jing Yan shook his head slightly.

”Chaos Sword!”

”Destruction Dao, Hongmeng Dao Pattern!” Jing Yan activated the Destruction Dao and Hongmeng Dao Pattern Secret Technique, and the Sword Screen enveloped the entire body of the monster.

With Jing Yan’s strength, slaying this Fifth-step Dao Method Realm Devouring Sky Clan monster is indeed not difficult. Although this Devouring Sky Clan monster has been reforged and its defense significantly increased, it’s still within the Fifth-step Dao Method Realm.

Before even half a cup of tea had passed, Jing Yan had already slain the Devouring Sky Clan monster.

”Hmm?” Jing Yan looked at the corpse of the Devouring Sky Clan monster.

A familiar energy fluctuation was transmitted, and Jing Yan’s eyes widened, staring ahead.

”Divine Soul Energy?”

”This... this...”

”This Devouring Sky Clan monster actually has Divine Soul Energy pervading it?” Jing Yan was ecstatic.

Before venturing into Reincarnation, Jing Yan didn’t know this. Having just arrived at the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, this was his first attempt at Reincarnation.

”Haha, this is great!”

”The benefits of being a core disciple are truly indescribable.” Jing Yan laughed.

Obviously, the Devouring Sky Clan monsters guarding the Reincarnation Path must have had Divine Soul Energy added to them when they were reforged. Otherwise, these Devouring Sky Clan monsters were transformed from the slain Devouring Sky Clan lifeforms. It could be determined from the moment a Devouring Sky Clan lifeform is slain whether there would be Divine Soul Energy pervading or not.

In other words, the Divine Soul Energy pervading the Devouring Sky Clan monsters within the Reincarnation Path must have been added during the reforging process. Otherwise, even if the Devouring Sky Clan lifeform slain prior to forging had Divine Soul Energy pervading it, it would have been collected long ago.

Slaying the Devouring Sky Clan monster guarding the Reincarnation Path to acquire Divine Soul Energy is a privilege for core disciples of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

Jing Yan opened his palm and beckoned slightly. That globule of milky yellow Divine Soul Energy transformed into a golden river, flowing towards Jing Yan. Jing Yan spread out his Divine Soul, quickly engulfing this globule of milky yellow Divine Soul Energy. In his hometown universe, Jing Yan had devoured Divine Soul Energy from Devouring Sky Clan lifeforms — that feeling he would never forget.

”Buzz buzz!” As this Divine Soul Energy merged into his Divine Soul Body, Jing Yan distinctly felt that his Divine Soul Body had noticeably strengthened.
