The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1552: Chapter 1552: The Situation Escalates

The Palm Seal of Wuyou Venerable continuously struck the black vortex.

The pressure facing Jing Yan suddenly decreased. The black stream of light intermittently bursting out from the black vortex posed little threat to Jing Yan now.

Under Wuyou Venerable’s continuous attacks, the tremors of the black vortex became increasingly intense, showing signs of disintegration. It seemed that the Sky Demon Clan’s assassination attempt on Jing Yan was about to fail.

”Boom!”

Just when Jing Yan and the others were slightly relaxed, a strange energy suddenly emerged from the black vortex.

This energy swiftly enveloped Jing Yan’s body. Jing Yan’s Divine Thought sensed the emergence of this energy, and his body trembled slightly as he hurriedly tried to resist it.

However, this time, the Chaos Sword couldn’t block this energy.

”Not good!” Jing Yan let out a low roar in his heart and quickly activated the Ultimate Nihility, hoping to dodge it.

As his thoughts shifted, Jing Yan’s body disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared outside the Iron Wall Castle.

But before he could rejoice at having dodged the attack, Jing Yan sensed that the energy wave released from the black vortex had already enveloped him.

”Damn! How can this energy be so strange?” Jing Yan communicated with Little Black subconsciously, triggering the Divine Soul Storm.

The energy fluctuations formed by the Divine Soul Storm had some defensive effect against this strange energy, but the effect was still limited. In a split second, Jing Yan’s body was covered by this energy.

Then, Jing Yan suddenly felt the surrounding space change dramatically.

A gigantic figure had appeared in his vision. Upon seeing this figure, Jing Yan confirmed that it was a Sky Demon, and moreover, a Demon King powerhouse.

Among the Demon Generals of the Sky Demon Clan, General Dong Ha’er was considered first-rate. However, even Dong Ha’er’s body was far smaller than the massive Sky Demon Jing Yan now saw. Therefore, the opponent must be a Demon King level Sky Demon.

Jing Yan focused intensely on the opponent while surveying the surroundings. When he saw the black object not far away, he guessed that this must be the Demon Artifact used by the Sky Demon Clan this time.

”Human Jing Yan!” The Demon King turned its massive head, its eyes locking onto Jing Yan who had been transported by the Demon Artifact.

”To kill you, my Sky Demon Clan doesn’t hesitate to use the Demon Artifact Death Hand. You should be proud!” the Demon King’s thundering voice resonated.

”Heh, you Sky Demon Clan have gone all out to kill me! Not only does the Demon King himself appear, but you also use one of the few Demon Artifacts. However, killing me might not be so easy,” Jing Yan sneered.

Though speaking, Jing Yan was already considering using the Ultimate Nihility to escape. This place should be close to the God Burying Domain, making it easy for him to enter. Once he entered the God Burying Domain, if the Demon King pursued, Wuyou Venerable would be able to sense it and come quickly to the rescue.

”Human Jing Yan, perhaps you’re thinking about how to escape right now. I can tell you, don’t bother; you can’t escape. Today, you are doomed to die!” The Demon King seemed to see through Jing Yan’s thoughts.

”Is that so?” Jing Yan’s heart sank.

”Swoosh!”

The Ultimate Nihility activated.

”Damn it!” Jing Yan cursed inwardly immediately after.

This entire space was also enveloped by a strange energy. This energy, which had brought Jing Yan from the Iron Wall Castle, was also released from the Demon Artifact Death Hand. This Demon Artifact seemed capable of creating a special space. This space completely restricted Jing Yan’s Ultimate Nihility. In other words, this space had been sealed by the Demon Artifact, and with Jing Yan’s current strength, he could not break through this seal.

”Human Jing Yan, prepare to die!” The Demon King launched an attack on Jing Yan.

Though the Demon King had used the Demon Artifact Death Hand to bring Jing Yan here from the Iron Wall Castle, it was possible that the human Venerables had yet to locate this place. But as time dragged on, the likelihood of exposure would increase.

Therefore, the Demon King also wanted to kill Jing Yan quickly.

The Demon King swung a huge staff in his hand, sweeping it horizontally towards Jing Yan. The terrifying power tore through the Chaotic Space, carrying unparalleled might, mercilessly crushing toward Jing Yan.

”Chaos Sword!” Jing Yan dared not be careless.

The Demon King was an existence on par with human Venerables. Moreover, given the current situation, the Sky Demon Clan must have been thoroughly prepared to kill him. To ensure no mishaps, the Sky Demon Clan would not dispatch a relatively weaker Demon King to kill him. Therefore, this Demon King was likely one of the most powerful among the Sky Demon Clan’s Demon Kings.

”Boom!”

The shadow of the Chaos Sword blocked the Demon King’s staff, but within a single breath, the sword shadow began to collapse and dissipate. The black staff continued to smash towards Jing Yan.

At this moment, Jing Yan felt as if the entire Heavenly Dome was crashing down upon his body.

”Too strong!”

”This Demon King’s power is too terrifying. I’m afraid even Ruchen Venerable wouldn’t be his match,” Jing Yan was shocked.

...

Iron Wall Castle!

The black vortex disappeared, and Jing Yan vanished along with it.

Wuyou Venerable wore a solemn expression.

”Lord Wuyou Venerable, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is missing!” General Shi Tai also quickly discovered Jing Yan was gone, and he promptly searched the entire Iron Wall Castle but found no trace of Jing Yan.

”Indeed!” Wuyou Venerable nodded.

”There is no trace of Little Friend Jing Yan throughout the God Burying Domain. This issue is quite serious. This time, the Sky Demon Clan truly spared no effort to kill Jing Yan. They actually used the Demon Artifact Death Hand!” Wuyou Venerable’s voice was low.

”We can’t delay; we must find Jing Yan’s whereabouts immediately!” Wuyou Venerable promptly contacted the other human Venerables.

In fact, two other human Venerables were already on their way to the God Burying Domain. By the time Wuyou Venerable contacted them, they were already en route to Iron Wall Castle.

”Brother Wuyou, what exactly happened?”

From within the Chaos, a figure slowly became focused, followed by a voice.

Ren Jiang Venerable arrived at Iron Wall Castle. The individual world Ren Jiang Venerable had established was relatively close to Iron Wall Castle. Thus, apart from Wuyou Venerable, he was the fastest human Venerable to reach Iron Wall Castle.

”The Sky Demon Clan used the Demon Artifact Death Hand against Little Friend Jing Yan, and now Little Friend Jing Yan has disappeared within the God Burying Domain,” Wuyou Venerable said to Ren Jiang Venerable with a respectful gesture.

”Death Hand?”

”The Sky Demon Clan has made a grand move! The Death Hand is the most powerful and mysterious among the few Demon Artifacts the Sky Demon Clan possesses. To deal with Little Friend Jing Yan, they actually used the Death Hand. It seems they must have used the spatial teleportation ability of the Death Hand,” said Ren Jiang Venerable, frowning deeply.
