The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1573: Chapter 1573: Showing Off

The green-robed woman is none other than Jing Yan’s Xiao Feng. She is also one of the ancestors of the Beast Clan, the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix! A powerful initial creature born with the Chaos Universe.

More than eight thousand years ago, Xiao Feng left Jing Yan and returned to the Beast Clan’s domain to unravel the Third Sealing. This time, she has come to Sky Creation City.

Behind Xiao Feng, the Beast Clan kings like Black Abyss show great respect towards her. In their demeanor, there isn’t the slightest relaxation or impropriety.

”Ancestor Lord! Chairman Ao Tian is presiding over the Chaos Secret Realm allocation meeting, so he cannot come out to greet you. Chairman Ao Tian hopes that the Ancestor Lord will not take offense,” Black Abyss continued.

Chairman Ao Tian is the Chief Chairman of the Sky Creation City Council. Ao Tian’s true form is that of a Golden Dragon.

The Golden Dragon lineage and Black Dragon lineage both belong to the Dragon Clan. Broadly speaking, in the Beast Clan, the bloodline of the Golden Dragon seems to be somewhat higher than that of the Black Dragon. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the Black Dragon’s strength is inferior to the Golden Dragon’s. For instance, Black Abyss of the Black Dragon lineage, his strength is only slightly weaker than Ao Tian’s, yet stronger than many other Golden Dragons.

”It’s fine,” Xiao Feng shook her head indifferently.

...

”How can Jing Yan’s strength be so formidable?”

Ruchen Venerable was taken aback.

Chunyu Venerable was also stunned.

They both knew that among martial artists of the God Emperor level, Jing Yan was at the pinnacle level, capable of confronting the top-tier Demon General, Dong Ha’er. However, they never imagined that Jing Yan could truly rival the Heavenly Venerates.

Ruchen Venerable admitted that even she, when facing the Punishment Team Captain, would only manage to hold her ground without being defeated. Yet, from Jing Yan’s engagement with the Punishment Team Captain, it was clear Jing Yan had the upper hand. Could it be that Jing Yan’s strength has already surpassed hers?

But Jing Yan’s World Power fluctuations were still very weak, undoubtedly still at the God Emperor level. Can a God Emperor truly compare to a Heavenly Venerate?

The Thunderbolt Venerable, full of resentment towards Jing Yan, also widened his eyes in disbelief at Jing Yan.

From Jing Yan’s latest engagement with the Punishment Team Captain, it seemed Jing Yan’s strength was not much different from his own as Thunderbolt Venerable. Even if he took action personally, he might not defeat Jing Yan, let alone kill him.

The expression on Thunderbolt Venerable’s face was peculiar.

In fact, Thunderbolt Venerable also hoped for the Human Clan to become powerful since he is part of the Human Clan himself. If the Human Clan grows strong, he could benefit from it.

Due to the decline of the Human Clan, its status among the universe’s major clans has been diminishing, and that feeling of lowliness is hard to bear. How could Thunderbolt Venerable remain indifferent?

Upon witnessing Jing Yan’s display of strength, Thunderbolt Venerable felt very conflicted. He desired the Human Clan’s strength yet, because of previous friction with Jing Yan, didn’t wish to see Jing Yan become powerful.

Jing Yan’s mentor, Zhan Yue God Emperor, with a thoughtful glint in her eyes, knew that Jing Yan was very strong now since Jing Yan previously told her that he killed the demon clan’s Demon King Kujixie. This information was hard to believe, but Zhan Yue God Emperor knew Jing Yan wouldn’t lie to her.

Thus, Zhan Yue God Emperor wasn’t surprised that Jing Yan could repel the Punishment Team Captain. Moreover, Zhan Yue God Emperor thought Jing Yan might be hiding additional strength. The Punishment Team Captain was equivalent to an ordinary Heavenly Venerate of the Human Clan, yet Jing Yan could kill Kujixie; such strength naturally could not be matched by ordinary Heavenly Venerates.

The Heavenly Demon Clan’s Demon King Kujixie’s strength should be comparable to the Human Clan’s First Tier Heavenly Venerate, similar to Ren Jiang Venerable’s level.

Heavenly Venerates differ among themselves.

Ren Jiang Venerable is a First Tier Heavenly Venerate. Chunyu Venerable stands out among those in the Second Tier. Ruchen Venerable, however, is a Third Tier Venerate, having not been a Heavenly Venerate for long, with a relatively small singular world.

After being repelled by Jing Yan, the Punishment Team Captain evidently had a momentary lapse. But then, he drew a black monstrous weapon and fiercely attacked Jing Yan again.

His duty was to capture Jing Yan. Since Jing Yan hadn’t been captured yet, the council elders hadn’t commanded him to stop, so he must continue, even knowing he couldn’t defeat Jing Yan.

As the Punishment Team Captain charged, Jing Yan struck again with his palm. As before, this Punishment Team Captain was predictably repelled.

By this point, Jing Yan’s strength had been confirmed.

”Elder Luo Jiuhong, this human Jing Yan is very powerful! I request to assist the Punishment Team in capturing him!” the Spirit Monster Clan leader Jiao Getu stepped forward, his sinister gaze moving from Jing Yan to the Heavenly Platform, bowing to his fellow clansman, Luo Jiuhong.

Jiao Getu’s strength is akin to a Human Clan’s Second Tier Heavenly Venerate, comparable to Chunyu Venerable.

The Spirit Monster Clan is known for currying favor, inherently servile while bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Moreover, they like to show off. For instance, Jiao Getu previously came to the Human Clan’s designated area just to flaunt his power.

Now he’s standing out, seeking to show off and prove himself.

Of course, he believed he could easily capture Jing Yan. Although Jing Yan’s strength exceeded everyone’s expectations, based on Jing Yan’s current confrontation with the Punishment Team Captain, Jing Yan’s combat power was just that of a Third Rank Human Clan Venerate. Jiao Getu, however, equated to a Second Tier Human Clan Venerate and excelled in that tier.

Thunderbolt Venerable is also a Human Clan Second Tier Venerate. However, Jiao Getu’s power exceeds Thunderbolt Venerable’s.

By taking action personally, capturing Jing Yan should pose no problem. He also hoped to seize the opportunity to kill Jing Yan. The second chair councilman’s desire seemed to want Jing Yan dead; if he could kill Jing Yan, wouldn’t it please the second chair councilman?

This was a beneficial strategy!

Jiao Getu thought this way, and many present, seeing him step forward, had similar thoughts. No matter how strong Jing Yan was, could he compare to the Spirit Monster Clan’s Jiao Getu?

Luo Jiuhong glanced at the second chair councilman, who subtly nodded at him.

To capture Jing Yan, they couldn’t have all the chairman and elders personally intervene, right? After all, Jing Yan was just one God Emperor from the Human Clan.

If they called for other Punishment Teams, that would take some time. Since the Spirit Monster Clan’s Jiao Getu volunteered, they might as well let him show off, rewarding him with minor merit.

”Punishment Team Captain, stand down!” Luo Jiuhong commanded.

”Understood!” The Punishment Team Captain responded, leading over ten subordinates back off to a distance.

”Human Jing Yan, you defy the Sky Creation City Council, a crime worthy of death! Now, I will personally end you!” Jiao Getu’s figure moved, facing Jing Yan, as the fluctuations of power spread from his diminutive frame.
