The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2213: Chapter 2213: Thunder Origin

Jing Yan broke through the Dark Heavenly Wheel’s sealing and successfully escaped before being annihilated by the Death Lotus, which made the Black River Heavenly Monarch furious. However, the Black River Heavenly Monarch quickly forced himself to calm down and began tracking Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Aura.

The battle between Jing Yan and the Black River Heavenly Monarch, although not long, was a clash with almost no reservations. Tracking Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Aura was not difficult for the Black River Heavenly Monarch. Even the Immortal Rhythm Cultivators present could easily do it.

If there were no Divine Soul Aura from Jing Yan, it would be hard for the Black River Heavenly Monarch to find Jing Yan in the Yellow Spring Cave.

“Escaped?”

“He actually broke the bond of the Dark Heavenly Wheel?” Lu Chun exclaimed in surprise, looking ahead somewhat dazed.

He originally thought Jing Yan was doomed to be killed by the Death Lotus, never expecting Jing Yan to break through the Dark Heavenly Wheel’s seal at the last moment and escape.

In fact, not only did he think so, but Xin Ruikun and others present also believed Jing Yan was doomed. Even those outside, like Yuantong Immortal Venerable and others, didn’t expect that Jing Yan could escape. Unexpectedly, under the Death Lotus’s pressure, Jing Yan could explode with such terrifying strength, forcibly tearing a gap in the Dark Heavenly Wheel.

Yuantong Immortal Venerable and the Xin Family were initially surprised, but soon joy spread among them.

Yuantong Immortal Venerable smiled, but quickly became solemn and said, “The Yellow Spring Cave is still open, and Jing Yan cannot escape from inside. We still cannot assist Jing Yan against the Black River Heavenly Monarch. In the Yellow Spring Cave, it’s only a matter of time before the Black River Heavenly Monarch finds Jing Yan, and it shouldn’t take too long.”

Clan Chief Xin Si and others’ expressions changed upon hearing this.

With Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s words, they instantly understood the situation.

This time, Jing Yan managed to escape successfully, but what about next time? If Jing Yan is found by the Black River Heavenly Monarch again, can he break the Dark Heavenly Wheel’s seal and escape? With the Black River Heavenly Monarch on guard, it’s safe to say Jing Yan won’t have the opportunity to break the seal again.

The atmosphere in the Great Hall became heavy once more.

The people from the Shadow Tower, Mystic Moon Trading House, and the Ancient Land of Morning Light were discussing, arriving at a similar conclusion. Jing Yan was lucky to escape this time, but there is definitely no hope of escaping next time.

…

Jing Yan broke through the Dark Heavenly Path, seizing a glimmer of life, and immediately used Void Shuttling to escape the battlefield as quickly as possible.

Jing Yan only used Void Shuttling once, knowing that no matter how many times he used it, he would inevitably be tracked by the Black River Heavenly Monarch. His Divine Soul Aura could not be hidden in this place. In his Chaos World, he could use the Fate Dao to block detection. But in the Immortal Domain, with its changeable Dao Skills, his Fate Dao was not as effective.

“Swish!” Jing Yan entered the Qiankun World.

The Qiankun World sank into the yellow sand, quickly descending underground by several hundred meters in mere breaths at Jing Yan’s control.

At this time, Jing Yan did not stop controlling the Qiankun World from descending, although the speed had slowed. In the Yellow Spring Cave’s underground, special energy blocks cultivators’ Divine Thought from probing, making it extremely difficult for Jing Yan to control the Qiankun World to descend.

About a thousand meters underground, Jing Yan found it increasingly difficult to control the Qiankun World to go deeper. At one thousand three hundred meters, his Divine Power could no longer control the Qiankun World’s descent.

“This is the best I can do!”

“How long before the Black River finds me depends on fate.” Jing Yan bitterly smiled, shaking his head.

Jing Yan knew well that it was only a matter of time before the Black River Heavenly Monarch found him. His only hope of leaving the Yellow Spring Cave alive was to gain more time to strengthen his power before being found.

Not daring to waste time, Jing Yan immediately took out Healing Pills to recover his injuries. Facing the Black River Heavenly Monarch and the crushing pressure of the Death Lotus earlier, his injuries were not minor. The Death Lotus’s Power was indeed terrifying.

The healing process didn’t take much time. While healing, Jing Yan also absorbed a considerable amount of Black Crystal Stones, nearly restoring the Divine Power consumed in the battle.

“What should I do?”

“The Ancient Tree Inheritance is at its limit with no breakthrough. The Seven Luminaries Technique and Chaos Sword, both Immortal Rhythm Level Spells, cannot improve. The only improvements seem possible in the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique, an Immortal Venerable Level Technique, and I could modify the Hongmeng Dao Pattern for use in the Immortal Domain. But the Hongmeng Dao Pattern is only an Immortal Rhythm Level Spell, suitable against typical Immortal Rhythm Cultivators, and likely less effective than the pure Fire Attribute Seven Luminaries Technique against the Black River Heavenly Monarch.”

“If I could fully master the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique, it could certainly pose some threat to the Black River Heavenly Monarch. The issue is, even with the Netherworld Heart, mastering the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique in a few decades is impossible.”

“Improving my Divine Soul Attack is also extremely difficult. As for the Virtualization Technique, it’s at just reached the Nether Sky Realm level recently, and advancing it to the Immortal Rhythm Level seems not much easier than breaking through in Divine Soul Attack.”

“What on earth should I do?” Jing Yan’s thoughts raced as he reviewed his powerful techniques, realizing he seemed to be in a dead-end.

It felt like no chosen Dao Skill would allow him to gain enough power to contend with the Black River Heavenly Monarch before being found.

“Time is too short!” Jing Yan sighed helplessly.

If he had enough time, not much was needed, even just ten thousand years, he would be confident in fully mastering the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique. The domineering nature of this technique could stand against the Black River Heavenly Monarch’s Death Lotus. Even if not an absolute counter, it should make breaking through the Dark Heavenly Wheel’s seal easier.

“Is it really over?”

“Will this Dharma Body be buried in the Immortal Domain? Without this Dharma Body, though I still have my true form in the Chaos World, forming a new Dharma Body would be extremely difficult. Seeking revenge against Luo Dejie might forever remain out of reach.” Jing Yan looked into the depths of the Chaos World space, where a vast Netherworld Crystal Stone vein spanned the wilderness.

After letting out another sigh, Jing Yan’s Divine Thought instinctively searched through his Divine Soul memory.

A cultivator’s memory and Divine Soul are one.

As he searched his Divine Soul memory, suddenly, a flash of inspiration burst forth. A vast sea of information instantly filled his mind.

This aura, ancient and weighty, contained layers of complex information!

This was the Thunder Origin!
