The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 862: After Modification: Chapter 862 Cultivation

As soon as he entered, Jing Yan’s Divine Thought enveloped the entire Second Hall while simultaneously activating his own primordial energy.

”Whoosh!”

Within his Divine Thought, he sensed two figures rapidly approaching.

”Boom!” Without any words, one of the figures swung its long saber directly at Jing Yan in a killing move.

The sharp saber light, with immense power, swept across the space as if it wanted to tear everything apart.

Jing Yan had no time to think. He quickly summoned his dark red longsword, activated the Sword Intent Divine Ability, and simultaneously released the Holy Light Sword Technique.

”Bang!” A loud noise echoed in the space.

Jing Yan saw the sword light, condensed by the Martial Arts fused with Sword Intent Divine Ability, being forcefully torn apart by the black saber. Fortunately, the power of the black saber light gradually diminished after tearing apart Jing Yan’s sword light, leaving not much power remaining.

After sensing the residual energy of the black saber light with his Divine Thought, Jing Yan abandoned the idea of activating the Defense Holy Artifact. This remaining energy did not pose much of a threat to his Heavenly Dragon Spirit Body, so there was no need to activate the Defense Holy Artifact.

Of course, Jing Yan’s body was still sent flying, landing more than a dozen meters away.

”Indeed, it is strong enough!”

”Even blocking a single attack is extremely difficult for me. Without the longsword that is close to the power of a Divine Artifact, I might have been killed in one stroke. The Defense Holy Artifact combined with the Heavenly Dragon Spirit Body might not be able to withstand that terrifying saber light. If that were the case, I wouldn’t even have a chance to admit defeat!” Jing Yan’s eyes fixed on the figure who attacked him.

At this moment, the figure rushed towards Jing Yan again, clearly about to launch a second attack.

”I admit defeat!” Jing Yan hastily conceded.

He had entered the Second Hall without any hope of overcoming the challenge; he merely wanted to see how powerful the guardians of the Second Hall, second brother and third brother, truly were.

After enduring this single stroke, Jing Yan had a better understanding of the combat power of second brother and third brother.

The one who attacked was likely third brother, as second brother had not made a move yet. This meant that with his current strength, he couldn’t even withstand third brother, let alone both second brother and third brother teaming up.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s admission of defeat, the figure about to launch a second attack on him stopped his actions in time.

At this moment, the other figure also stepped forward, and the two figures stood together, looking at Jing Yan.

”You are Jing Yan?” one of the figures asked in a deep voice.

”Exactly! Jing Yan greets second brother and third brother!” Jing Yan cupped his hands and greeted them.

”No need for such courtesy, we know of your existence! To pass through the Second Hall, you must last for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea under the attacks from both me and third brother. However, with your current strength, you are far from there. You cannot even withstand a single blow from third brother, let alone fend off both of us attacking simultaneously.” The figure waved his hand as he spoke.

”Alright, you should leave the Second Hall now! Come back to challenge us again when your strength is sufficient!” another figure said in a low voice, still expressionless.

”Sure!” Jing Yan nodded, then exited the Second Hall.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Old Fourth and several other puppets waiting at the entrance.

”How was it?”

”How terrifying is the combat power of second brother and third brother?”

”Jing Yan, tell us quickly!” Old Fourth and the other puppets all spoke up in unison.

”Second brother and third brother are indeed very powerful. I couldn’t withstand a single move from third brother. If it weren’t for this longsword, I might have been killed in one stroke.” Jing Yan said to the Life Puppets.

”Hmph, I told you not to go in, but you wouldn’t listen. Luckily, you weren’t killed!” Old Six glared as he spoke.

Jing Yan let out a dry laugh.

”I won’t say more, I need to go into seclusion for training.” Jing Yan’s figure flashed and he moved to a corner of the First Hall.

Seeing Jing Yan going into seclusion, Old Fourth and the other puppets did not follow him.

Jing Yan sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

Having integrated the third part of the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, Jing Yan had many new insights.

He gained new understandings of Martial Arts, the Power of Laws, Secret Techniques, and so on.

After closing his eyes, Jing Yan spent some time organizing all the techniques he had mastered.

Then, he took out all of his Divine Crystals and Heavenly Repairing Pills, absorbing them and attaining deeper understanding of the Heaven and Earth Laws.

Time flew by!

A month went by, then two months, and half a year!

A year passed quickly.

As his resources of Divine Crystals and elixirs diminished, Jing Yan’s cultivation continuously improved, gradually reaching the limit of the Second Realm of Holy.

The number of Laws Jing Yan mastered also reached a terrifying number.

Having accepted the inheritance of the first three parts of the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, Jing Yan’s speed in comprehending the Laws was many times faster than that of ordinary martial artists. Combined with abundant cultivation resources, his progress speed was indeed astonishing.

If other martial artists knew about Jing Yan’s cultivation speed, they would certainly marvel in astonishment at being left far behind.

Once Jing Yan reached the limit of the Second Realm of Holy, he temporarily stopped. His next step would be to attempt a breakthrough to advance to the Saint Realm Third Stage.

He paused to adjust his mind, allowing himself to completely relax.

In the First Hall of the Death Temple.

”Boom!”

”Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Several figures rushed swiftly, with sword lights and saber lights intertwining.

Old Fourth and several puppets were teaming up to attack Jing Yan.

”Jing Yan, don’t run, face my saber!” Old Seven sneaked up from one direction, and as he shouted, his black long saber was already slashing towards Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s longsword twirled in his hand.

”Swish!” Old Seven was sent flying instantly, crashing far away.

At this time, Jing Yan was sparring with Old Fourth and the other puppets without using his dark red longsword, but the spiritual artifact longsword he had been using before. He did not even use Sword Intent Divine Ability.

”Jing Yan, you are indeed fast, but I’m not slow either, taste my saber!” Old Fourth found an opportunity and fiercely attacked Jing Yan.

Jing Yan had been fighting fiercely with the four puppets for a full hour.

”Using only the spiritual artifact longsword and without using Sword Intent, I still can’t completely overpower these Life Puppets.” Jing Yan shook his head.

The four puppets, leveraging part of the pressure of the Death Temple to limit Jing Yan’s speed, still couldn’t do anything to Jing Yan. Likewise, Jing Yan couldn’t completely overpower the four puppets.

”This should be enough, let’s end it here!” Jing Yan thought to himself, and suddenly unleashed the Sword Intent Divine Ability.

The four puppets instantly felt a vast pressure descending. Before they could react further, sword lights swept over them.

”Boom! Boom! Boom!” After a few light explosions, the four figures were all sent flying.

”No more playing!”

”We agreed not to use Sword Intent Divine Ability, but you used it anyway! No more fighting, it’s boring!” Old Seven immediately shouted, and the other puppets, after getting up, also stood far away from Jing Yan, not approaching him.
