The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1542: Chapter 1542: Heavenly Venerate Hall

The Sky Demon Clan definitely has some spies in the Human Territory. Just as humans have also planted spies within the Sky Demon Clan.

Therefore, the process of Jing Yan assisting Ruchen Venerable to slay Dong Ha’er will inevitably be quickly grasped by the upper echelons of the Sky Demon Clan. Jing Yan’s strength will surely attract the attention of the Sky Demon Clan’s high-ranking members.

A human martial artist like Jing Yan, once they truly step into the Heavenly Venerate level, poses too great a threat to the Sky Demon Clan, far exceeding the threat of ordinary Venerates. Naturally, the Sky Demon Clan will find ways to eliminate Jing Yan before he reaches the Heavenly Venerate level. If they wait until Jing Yan becomes a Venerate, it will be even more difficult for the Sky Demon Clan to get rid of him.

Jing Yan is, of course, mentally prepared for this.

Ruchen Venerable once again reminded Jing Yan of some things that require attention, and left a special token for Jing Yan to contact her in the future. Afterward, she transformed into a purple light and disappeared into the chaotic space.

And Jing Yan also returned to the Nine Realms Star.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan!”

”Jing Yan God Emperor!”

”...”

Many human powerhouses saw Jing Yan return and greeted him respectfully, while Jing Yan smiled and greeted everyone.

...

In Chaos, within a great hall shimmering with dark gold brilliance.

”Crash!”

”Buzz, buzz!”

At this moment, several virtual projections gradually appeared inside the hall. Although only shadows, they all exuded an extremely sacred aura.

Deep within the great hall were several statues.

This great hall is the Heavenly Venerate Hall! Most of the human Heavenly Venerates have statues placed here. These statues are not ordinary dead objects; they are constructed by the Venerates using supreme magical power. On each statue, the Dharma Body Power of the corresponding Venerate remains.

However, for the Heavenly Venerates who have fallen, the Dharma Body Power on their statues will gradually fade away.

The number of statues deep in the Heavenly Venerate Hall is considerable, but those that still have Dharma Body Power emanating are not many. These statues represent the number of Heavenly Venerates still alive within the human race, comprising only roughly ten or so.

Soon, Ruchen Venerable’s projection also appeared in the Heavenly Venerate Hall.

These projections are the virtual representation of the human Venerates.

”Ruchen, do you have something for us?” A venerable elder with a red beard looked at Ruchen Venerable and asked.

”Yes! Sister Ruchen, you’re in such a hurry to gather us, what’s the urgent matter?” A middle-aged man in a golden robe also spoke.

Counting Ruchen Venerable, there are six Supreme Heavenly Venerate projections here.

”Brothers!” Ruchen Venerable’s projection slightly bowed to the other projections.

Ruchen Venerable is the last human among the Human Clan to achieve the Heavenly Venerate position. Therefore, the other Venerates are considered her senior brothers and sisters. The Venerate projections here, aside from her, are all male.

”The Sky Demon Clan’s Demon General Dong Ha’er is dead!” Ruchen Venerable’s gaze shifted, and she spoke lightly.

”What?”

”Dong Ha’er is dead?”

”How did he die? This Dong Ha’er is very cunning and skilled in speed. With his special talent, he isn’t that easy to kill.” A few projections exclaimed in surprise.

Apparently, the Venerates here were somewhat astonished upon hearing this news from Ruchen Venerable. Although Dong Ha’er is not a Demon King within the Sky Demon Clan, he poses a significant threat to humans, almost equal to that of a Demon King. The Venerates have wanted to kill Dong Ha’er for a long time but have never found a good opportunity to act.

”Ruchen, was it you who killed Demon General Dong Ha’er?” Red Beard Venerable’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Ruchen Venerable.

Others did not know of Dong Ha’er’s death; they heard about it from Ruchen, meaning Ruchen Venerable knew of Dong Ha’er’s demise before them.

”Yes, it was indeed me who killed Dong Ha’er the Demon General.” Ruchen Venerable nodded.

”Haha, Sister Ruchen, well done!”

”Dong Ha’er killed many human Divine Emperors during the Great Destruction War. Even the God Emperor San Zhi, who held the most promise to become a Venerate, died at his hands. You killing Dong Ha’er is truly gratifying!” One Venerate said, laughing heartily.

”Sister Ruchen, how did you achieve this?” Another Venerate asked with some confusion.

During the Great Destruction War, Ruchen Venerable specifically pursued Dong Ha’er and successfully intercepted him once, yet Dong Ha’er escaped. Until the Sky Demon Clan was repelled by the Human Clan, they couldn’t kill Dong Ha’er. How did Ruchen Venerable manage to do it this time?

Upon hearing the Venerate’s question, the other Venerates also looked at Ruchen Venerable with curious eyes.

”I have always kept an eye on Dong Ha’er. Not long ago, he entered the Human Territory, which I noticed, so I kept pursuing him. Dong Ha’er, relying on his talent, was very confident; he should have sensed my pursuit but was not in a hurry to leave the Human Territory. Eventually, on the Nine Realms Star, I caught up with Dong Ha’er.”

”As for being able to kill Dong Ha’er, I owe much to Jing Yan.” Ruchen Venerable’s eyes flashed as she spoke.

”Jing Yan?” The other Venerates evidently were unaware of Jing Yan’s existence.

Jing Yan’s rise was too swift, and he had not yet entered the Venerates’ field of vision, which was understandable.

”Yes! Jing Yan, a young human martial artist, has been cultivating for less than ten thousand years and is already at the Divine Emperor level.” Ruchen Venerable said.

”Less than ten thousand years to reach the Divine Emperor realm? It seems our Human Clan has seen the emergence of another extraordinary Martial Arts Genius!” Red Beard Venerable’s eyes squinted.

”Indeed, very impressive. When I have time, I will personally meet this youngster.” Another Venerate said with interest.

”Sister Ruchen, you mentioned that killing Dong Ha’er was thanks to Jing Yan. Did he help you kill Dong Ha’er?” The golden-robed Venerate asked.

”Indeed! Jing Yan mastered a Divine Soul Attack Secret Method, combined with the Gravity Domain, which restricted Dong Ha’er’s special talent, preventing him from escaping using it. Therefore, I could ultimately slay Dong Ha’er.” Ruchen Venerable nodded.

”Oh?”

”Divine Soul Attack Secret Method?”

”This youngster created a Divine Soul Attack Secret Method? Not simple at all!”

”Yes, this Jing Yan has made a significant contribution. We should give him some reward!”

The Venerates pondered and spoke.

”Brothers! With the Chaos Secret Realm about to begin, I wonder if we should grant Jing Yan a place to enter the Chaos Secret Realm?” Ruchen Venerable suggested.

Upon hearing Ruchen Venerable’s words, the Venerates fell into silence.
