The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2210: Chapter 2210: Jing Yan Heavenly Monarch

The seven small suns condensed by the Seven Luminaries Technique on the Sword Light wildly evaporated the surrounding black mist.

But after merely two or three breaths of stalemate, the blade of the Chaos Sword began to collapse, and on the surface of Jing Yan’s body, purple patterns flashed rapidly. Following the Ancient Tree Inheritance granting Jing Yan formidable physical defense, his body was blasted away by a terrifying force of death.

He flew straight tens of thousands of miles, only then stabilizing his posture.

“Strong! Too strong!” Jing Yan’s Divine Power surged within his body.

“This Black River Heavenly Monarch must have fused with something akin to the Chaos World, otherwise, he couldn’t be this powerful. His body transforms into black mist, which is practically invincible. He’s not yet at the Immortal Venerable level; if he reaches the Immortal Venerable level, he would truly be considered undying. Even an Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Domain might be helpless against him.” Jing Yan lamented in his heart.

Jing Yan had previously heard from Clan Chief Xin Si of the Xin family that an Immortal Emperor once attacked the Black River Heavenly Monarch. Many believed the Black River Heavenly Monarch was dead, yet unexpectedly, when the Yellow Spring Cave opened, the Black River Heavenly Monarch suddenly appeared, forcibly entering.

“My Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique has unmatched power, but ultimately, I haven’t completely mastered it. If I could perform the complete Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique, I might have more confidence against the Black River Heavenly Monarch. As for the Ancient Tree Inheritance, although it’s an Immortal Venerable level spell, its effect against a monster like the Black River Heavenly Monarch isn’t very good.” Jing Yan shook his head silently.

The Ancient Tree Inheritance is indeed extremely powerful, but since the Black River Heavenly Monarch can transform his body into a black river, Jing Yan’s Ancient Tree Inheritance Power seems like striking cotton with solid objects, which is ineffective.

The Seven Luminaries Technique is quite effective against the Black River Heavenly Monarch, but it is only an Immortal Rhythm level spell and lacks in quality.

This leads to Jing Yan having no particularly powerful means when facing the Black River Heavenly Monarch.

Just as Jing Yan stabilized his body, the Black River Heavenly Monarch’s figure once again appeared from the black mist, his sinister gaze fixed on Jing Yan.

“Hmm?” Jing Yan’s eyes flashed slightly.

The Black River Heavenly Monarch appeared no different than before, but from his aura, Jing Yan still sensed a subtle change. The aura of the Black River Heavenly Monarch was a tad weaker than previously. The reduction was very minor, but it was real. This means that Jing Yan’s continuous attacks on the black mist indeed inflicted some damage on the Black River Heavenly Monarch. However, the level of damage was hardly worth mentioning to him.

“He blocked it! This little brat actually wasn’t injured?” Lu Chun widened his eyes, looking at Jing Yan in disbelief.

He thought that even if the Black River Heavenly Monarch’s strike couldn’t directly finish Jing Yan, it would at least severely injure him.

Earlier, when the Netherworld Map appeared, he had charged towards it, and back then, he was also repelled by the Black River Heavenly Monarch without injury, but that was just a clone of the Black River Heavenly Monarch, and he hadn’t really intended to kill Lu Chun.

But now, facing the Black River Heavenly Monarch at his peak state, Jing Yan actually withstood an attack without injury!

“Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is not injured!”

“It’s unbelievable, the strength of Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, to actually be nearing the Black River Heavenly Monarch, this Great Demon. Doesn’t that mean Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, just stepping into the Immortal Rhythm Level, can already compare with weaker Immortal Venerables?” Xin Ruikun and Shao Yu gasped softly.

To an Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm Cultivator, an Immortal Venerable is unreachable. There is an insurmountable chasm between an Immortal Rhythm Cultivator and an Immortal Venerable. Although Faro Heaven produced a monster like the Black River Heavenly Monarch, that’s an anomaly not to be measured by common sense, as the Black River Heavenly Monarch gained his strength by fusing with the Outer Heaven Black River.

As leaders of the Four Great Forces, relying on a large number of treasures and spells, they cannot completely contend with the weakest Immortal Venerable level cultivator.

Immortal Rhythm and Immortal Venerable, those are two levels. In Faro Heaven, it is feasible to say Nether Sky Realm cultivators can contend with weaker Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm cultivators, and indeed many geniuses can achieve this. But to say Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm cultivators can contend with weaker Immortal Venerables, Faro Heaven only has one such as the Black River Heavenly Monarch.

Now, it seems there might be another, and that is Jing Yan Heavenly Monarch.

…

“Immortal Venerable! Jing Yan blocked the strike from the Black River Heavenly Monarch, he blocked it!” Xin Si had an excited expression on his face.

Previously, Xin Si did not want Jing Yan to die at the hands of the Black River Heavenly Monarch, mostly because of the 20% large Netherworld Crystal Stone ore vein resources. But now, Clan Chief Xin Si’s innermost thoughts unknowingly transformed, and he truly wanted Jing Yan to survive.

A cultivator who had just entered the Immortal Rhythm Level could face the Black River Heavenly Monarch head-on; how terrifying is that? Moreover, this person has a good relationship with the Xin family. Clan Chief Xin Si realized, even if Jing Yan didn’t give 20% of the Netherworld Crystal Stone to the Xin family, it would be acceptable. With a cultivator like Jing Yan, once he accumulates some time at the Immortal Rhythm Level, he could truly be equivalent to an Immortal Venerable level existence. With a close relationship with Jing Yan, the Xin family will be much stronger within Faro Heaven in the future.

Yuantong Immortal Venerable furrowed his brows tightly.

He didn’t need Clan Chief Xin Si to tell him; he saw it too. Yuantong Immortal Venerable was also greatly astonished at Jing Yan’s strength.

If Jing Yan can survive, then Jing Yan is a cultivator of the region under Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s jurisdiction. Even if Jing Yan does not submit to him, would Jing Yan refuse to help if he asks for assistance or shows disrespect? Moreover, Jing Yan has quite a respectable relationship with him. With Jing Yan, Yuantong Immortal Venerable effectively gained a powerful ally!

Of course, he didn’t want Jing Yan to die.

In contemplation, Yuantong Immortal Venerable no longer hesitated and took out his Communication Magical Treasure.

Let’s risk an old face and try!

Within the Yellow Spring Cave, as the Black River Heavenly Monarch appeared in human form, he seemed not too surprised that Jing Yan blocked his attack. As he prepared for the next attack, he sensed a signal from the Communication Magical Treasure within him.

The world remained shrouded in the Dark Heavenly Wheel, and he wasn’t worried about Jing Yan suddenly escaping.

The Black River Heavenly Monarch took out the Communication Magical Treasure, a sinister smile forming on his lips.

“Yuantong Immortal Venerable, what is it?” The Black River Heavenly Monarch opened his mouth and spoke directly.

Using the Communication Magical Treasure, one could communicate directly via Divine Thought. But the Black River Heavenly Monarch still spoke loudly, allowing people like Xin Ruikun and Lu Chun, standing afar, to hear.

“What are you saying?”

“Hehe… You want me to stop? If I let Jing Yan go, would you owe me a favor?” Initially, the Black River Heavenly Monarch’s tone was mocking, but when speaking of owing a favor, his expression turned serious.

A favor from Yuantong Immortal Venerable is not easily obtained. A strong person of that level would never make promises lightly. Therefore, when the Black River Heavenly Monarch heard Yuantong say this, he was also greatly astonished.

For Yuantong Immortal Venerable to save Jing Yan, he indeed put in his best effort, even promising a favor.

Jing Yan was slightly moved. Although he could guess the reasons Yuantong Immortal Venerable put in so much effort, he still felt very grateful in his heart.
