The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1990: Chapter 1990: Severed at the Waist

”Pfft!”

Suddenly, countless black ghost claws appeared around Jing Yan’s body. These claws clutched at Jing Yan’s feet, as if trying to drag him down.

Jing Yan slightly lowered his head, frowning. He knew this was a technique used by Wei Zhen, and it shouldn’t be a secret technique.

”Damn it!”

”This Wei Zhen actually raises resentful spirits, he has learned the methods of ghost cultivators!” Jing Yan cursed silently.

Jing Yan had killed ghost cultivators before and understood their methods. These suddenly appearing black ghost claws weren’t manifestations of Taoist Law and lacked the aura of similar secret techniques. It was clear that it was a ghost cultivator’s attack method.

”This old bastard, I don’t know how many innocent lives he has killed!” Jing Yan’s heart was filled with rage.

To raise resentful spirits to this level, who knows how many Divine Souls need to be devoured?

”Get away!” Jing Yan roared.

Following that, Little Green transformed into a ball of green flames, swirling around the countless black ghost claws. The black ghost claws emitted a large amount of black smoke, rapidly contracting. The source power of Little Green had a natural restraining effect on these resentful spirits.

At this moment, the gigantic sword shadow came into contact with the Nine Revolutions Shattering Sky Saber’s curtain.

”Rip!” An ear-piercing sound followed.

The black saber curtain was forcibly torn apart from the middle. Although the gigantic sword shadow dissipated considerably, its main body still existed, continuing its thrust forward.

Seeing this scene, Wei Zhen felt utterly alarmed; his eyes were nearly popping out.

His Nine Revolutions Shattering Sky Saber was actually torn apart by Jing Yan.

”You little brat, good technique!” Wei Zhen’s figure rapidly retreated.

But he was still under the influence of gravity magic, his speed not even half of normal. His secret techniques and other methods could potentially shake off the influence of gravity magic, but his physical body couldn’t completely escape.

Suddenly, the sword shadow of the Chaos Sword was right in front of Wei Zhen. The Sword Light cut through the black shimmering light on Wei Zhen’s body surface, which was the radiance formed by his defensive treasure. This defensive treasure couldn’t completely resist the Chaos Sword, only partially offsetting its power.

All anyone could see was Wei Zhen’s entire body being sliced in half from the waist.

Wei Zhen’s upper half continued backward, while his lower half fell downward. Wei Zhen, the Title Controller, was cut in half.

However, Wei Zhen did not die. The power of the Chaos Sword couldn’t penetrate further into Wei Zhen’s upper body. It was evident that Wei Zhen had numerous treasures, thwarting the further destruction of his physical body by the Chaos Sword’s power.

”You little brat, I won’t ever let this go! The next time we meet will be your doom!” Wei Zhen’s roar echoed through the chaos.

Suddenly, his half-body erupted with countless black lights, spreading rapidly in all directions.

”This old ghost wants to escape!” Jing Yan frowned, repeatedly swinging the Ice Flame Sword, trying to dissolve the black lights as much as possible. But ultimately, some black lights managed to escape, vanishing without a trace.

Wei Zhen truly had many treasures; he had lived for so long and collected all sorts of top-tier treasures beyond what ordinary people could imagine, several for preserving life. Even when gravely injured, he managed to escape with his life.

Jing Yan turned his gaze toward the Void Divine Hall members still battling the Hongjun Heavenly Palace members. His pupils slightly contracted, his arm swung, sending forth another sword strike. This strike aimed precisely at the previously heavily injured Deputy Hall Master Tao Wu. Tao Wu had been struck down by Jing Yan before; if Wei Zhen hadn’t intercepted Jing Yan from the side, Tao Wu would have been dead by now. At this moment, with Wei Zhen having fled, Jing Yan immediately went after Tao Wu.

Tao Wu was somewhat dazed; even though he was an extremely formidable being at the Controller Level, he couldn’t help but feel bewildered. Wei Zhen actually fled, was forced to flee by this Jing Yan. Wei Zhen, a Title Controller, one of the top-tier existences in chaos!

As Tao Wu regained his senses, the sword light of the Chaos Sword was already near him.

Even Wei Zhen couldn’t block Jing Yan’s Chaos Sword, let alone Tao Wu, who had no chance to fully defend against it. After a scream, Tao Wu’s whole being turned to dust, with his Divine Soul extinguished, leaving only a pile of his personal treasures.

Luoshui Divine Palace descended into a dead silence!

Boundaryless Spirit Mountain descended into a dead silence!

Wansheng Valley descended into a dead silence!

In the headquarters of these Ultimate Forces, the Controllers and even Title Controllers seemed to have turned to stone.

Yihua Palace Master and several other Title Controllers had previously assessed Jing Yan’s power, thinking Jing Yan might be able to match a Title Controller. But they never imagined Jing Yan could actually defeat a Title Controller and heavily injure Wei Zhen, a Title Controller.

Who is Wei Zhen?

In chaos, even Yihua Palace Master and other Chaos Giants treated Wei Zhen as an equal. Void Divine Hall Master He Ming addressed Wei Zhen as Brother Wei Zhen, yet they were on the same level.

And now, these people witnessed Wei Zhen being sliced in half by Jing Yan’s Longsword. Although Wei Zhen wasn’t killed directly but used some sort of special treasure to escape, his severe injury was a fact. Such a wound, even if he spared no expense for recovery, who knows how long it’d take to return to normal?

Not only Yihua Palace Master and others, but Ma Yi Ancestor and Du Ya Ancestor were also utterly shocked, watching Jing Yan’s figure closely.

This kid is truly defying the heavens!

Jing Yan’s realm had indeed not yet stepped into the Title Controller Level. There was a significant difference in aura between Title Controllers and Controllers. When it came to combat, the difference was even more pronounced. However, Jing Yan, a Controller, had heavily injured Wei Zhen, a Title Controller.

Before Jing Yan’s emergence, almost everyone believed the level of Chenyuan Emperor was the ultimate power for the Controller realm. A Controller who could withstand a Title Controller was indeed an extreme Controller. But now, Jing Yan has changed everyone’s perspective on this, even altering the commonly accepted notion within chaos. To use the power of the Controller realm to directly slice a Title Controller in half—how terrifying and unbelievable is that?

If Jing Yan becomes a Title Controller, wouldn’t he effortlessly kill other Title Controllers?

In Endless Chaos, the difference in strength among Title Controllers wasn’t very vast. A Chaos Giant like He Ming, in a fight against Wei Zhen, would generally only be able to suppress but not kill.

After Jing Yan killed Deputy Hall Master Tao Wu and collected the opponent’s personal treasures, he rushed toward the other Void Divine Hall Pavilion Masters.

He Ming no longer cared about attacking the Hongjun Heavenly Palace headquarters guarded by the Reincarnation Path; he dashed out, Divine Power surging over his body, charging toward Jing Yan. If he didn’t block Jing Yan, his Void Divine Hall pavilion masters might all be killed. These pavilion masters could hardly withstand Jing Yan’s sword. Worse yet, these pavilion masters couldn’t even escape!
