The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1551: Chapter 1551: Hand of Death

Within the Iron Wall Castle, Jing Yan immediately sensed the dark energy permeating from outside.

”Not good!”

”The Sky Demon Clan is attacking the Iron Wall Castle!”

Jing Yan’s figure flickered and he instantly left his room.

Meanwhile, above the Iron Wall Castle, the black light from the black vortex was already striking the Guardian Array of the Iron Wall Castle. The entire castle’s formation began to operate. As light halos circulated, layers of barriers gathered, attempting to fend off the descending black light from the sky.

”What a terrifying aura!”

”This... This power seems to surpass even Ruchen Venerable’s strength. Could it be that the Demon King of the Sky Demon Clan has descended and is attacking the Iron Wall Castle?” Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed as he looked up at the sky.

General Shi Tai followed closely behind Jing Yan, flying out of a building, his face filled with shock as he gazed at the black light in the sky.

”Crack! Crack!”

The light screen formed by the Iron Wall Castle’s Guardian Array was being shattered by the black light erupting continuously from the black vortex.

”Damn it! This force is too strong; even the Guardian Array of the Iron Wall Castle seems unable to withstand it. Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, this is very likely the Demon King himself taking action.” General Shi Tai said to Jing Yan with a grave expression.

”Yes, this force is indeed unbelievably strong. However, all we can see is a huge black vortex above, which is somewhat strange. If the Demon King of the Sky Demon Clan enters the God Burying Domain, he shouldn’t escape the eyes of the Venerates.” Jing Yan furrowed his brow, puzzled.

”It is indeed strange!” General Shi Tai nodded in agreement.

Immediately, General Shi Tai’s eyes suddenly revealed a look of horror.

”This isn’t good; it might be a demon artifact possessed by the Sky Demon Clan.” General Shi Tai thought of a possibility.

During the Great Destruction War, the Sky Demon Clan also used demon artifacts against the Human Heavenly Venerates. Therefore, human warriors who participated in the war were not unfamiliar with demon artifacts. However, the Sky Demon Clan values their demon artifacts highly and generally avoids using them easily. This time, why did they suddenly use a demon artifact to attack the Iron Wall Castle?

Even if this demon artifact were to breach the Iron Wall Castle, it does not seem to provide the Sky Demon Clan with much benefit. Moreover, using a demon artifact requires a great cost, making it not worth the loss. Since the Great Destruction, the Sky Demon Clan has never used a demon artifact to attack the Iron Wall Castle.

”Boom!”

At this moment, the Guardian Array of the Iron Wall Castle emitted a loud noise amidst its tremors. All array barriers were shattered by the black light. After breaking the formation of the Iron Wall Castle, the black light did not massively invade the castle or attack the numerous human martial artists within but instead maintained its concentrated form, targeting Jing Yan’s location.

Jing Yan felt the presence of death locking onto him, and his eyes flashed.

”Sure enough, it’s coming for me!” Jing Yan’s heart stirred.

Earlier, Jing Yan had anticipated that this attack by the Sky Demon Clan on the Iron Wall Castle might be aimed at him. Now, seeing the swirling black light approaching him, he could confirm this point.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, be careful!” General Shi Tai also noticed that the black light intended to kill Jing Yan.

As Shi Tai spoke, Jing Yan condensed the Colorful Cloud Sword, fully activating his divine power, sending the Chaos Sword blade’s shadow towards the black light.

Currently, the power contained within Jing Yan’s Chaos Sword is much stronger than it was years ago. After Jing Yan initially grasped some World Power, it was integrated into the Chaos Sword, greatly enhancing the sword.

”If you want to kill me, it’s not that easy!” Jing Yan gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice.

”Boom!”

The swirling black light collided with the shadow of the Chaos Sword, two entirely different energies erupting and causing a terrifying wave of power. The entire Iron Wall Castle was filled with unnerving energy.

All martial artists within the Iron Wall Castle watched this scene in shock.

”The Sky Demon Clan intends to kill Lord Jing Yan God Emperor!”

”Damnating Sky Demon Clan, they actually used a demon artifact!”

”Lord Jing Yan, you must hold on. Iron Wall Castle is under attack, the Heavenly Venerates will soon arrive!”

Many martial artists in the castle shouted. They also activated their divine powers to resist the rampaging energy in the space.

The sword shadow of the Chaos Sword began to gradually disintegrate under the assault of the swirling black light.

”Damn it, the power of this demon artifact is too strong!”

Jing Yan furiously activated the divine power within him.

Despite his best efforts, the Chaos Sword could not withstand the pressure of the swirling black light.

With Jing Yan’s current strength, he could even contend with most human Heavenly Venerates. Now, the power contained within the Chaos Sword should be close to that of an ordinary Heavenly Venerate’s attack. But even so, the Chaos Sword could not withstand the swirling black light.

Of course, the Chaos Sword still slowed down the swirl black light’s speed considerably.

Outside the God Burying Domain, the Demon King currently attacking Jing Yan with a demon artifact also let out a roar.

”How could this Jing Yan be so strong? Even the Hand of Death cannot swiftly kill him!” The Demon King’s angry voice echoed throughout the realm.

”There’s little time; the human Heavenly Venerates should soon be able to reach the Iron Wall Castle! Damn it!” The Demon King stomped his foot fiercely.

”It seems the only option is to execute the second plan! Human Jing Yan, today you will surely die!” The Demon King waved his arm.

As he waved his arm, the demon artifact Hand of Death before him released another eerie wave of power.

Outside the Iron Wall Castle, a blue figure descended rapidly.

”Young friend Jing Yan, I’m here to help you!” As the blue figure appeared, a giant palm seal materialized between heaven and earth.

This palm seal aggressively struck towards the black swirling vortex. In an instant, the palm seal landed upon the black vortex. The huge black vortex vibrated, and the black light released from it continuously trembled, its power greatly reduced.

”It’s Lord Wuyou Venerable!” Seeing the blue figure appear, General Shi Tai exclaimed in joy.

The newcomer is indeed Wuyou Venerable. For the past tens of millions of years, Wuyou Venerable has been monitoring the Iron Wall Castle. When the Iron Wall Castle was attacked, Wuyou Venerable immediately became aware and rushed over.

Human Heavenly Venerates take turns watching over the God Burying Domain. Therefore, Wuyou Venerable has been stationed not far from the God Burying Domain for these past millions of years. As a result, he was able to reach the Iron Wall Castle with such speed.

Watching Wuyou Venerable attack the black vortex, Jing Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief. He could already sense a significant reduction in the attack power inherent to the swirl black light.
