The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2287: Chapter 2287: Emergence Against All Odds

The demons of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain wailed incessantly, screaming as they fled.

The power of the Nine Heavens Divine Fire was too terrifying.

A black fireball exploded near a protector of the Immortal Venerable Realm, and half of the protector’s body was directly evaporated.

If one were hit directly by the fireball, only those at the top level among Immortal Venerable Cultivators could withstand it.

”What a thrill!” Jing Yan felt invigorated.

With one move of the Nine Heavens Divine Fire, nearly two hundred demons from Ten Thousand Demon Mountain were killed, surpassing the number eliminated in one instance of Shadow Soul Kill.

The power of the Nine Heavens Divine Fire was terrifying indeed!

Of course, this was also because there were no demons nearby capable of countering the Nine Heavens Divine Fire. If there had been a powerful Immortal Venerable to resist it, the Nine Heavens Divine Fire would not have been able to kill so many demons. Another point is that the demons were too clustered; if they had dispersed early, the Nine Heavens Divine Fire would not have covered such a large area.

”Whoosh!” The remaining demons scattered, and Jing Yan quickly pursued them.

The guards of the Bai Family and the cultivators of Bai City looked at each other. Moments ago, their situation was precarious, but now, not a trace of a demon was left in their vicinity.

On the ground, the demons had left a heap of corpses, many of which were charred and mangled.

”Who is that lord?” asked a cultivator.

”That lord looks so young! We haven’t seen him before.”

”He’s so powerful! With just a few casual moves, he killed hundreds of demons from Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.”

”Indeed, even the Family Head Bai likely lacks such strength.”

”...” Bai City cultivators, while breathing a sigh of relief, also felt hope burning in their hearts, and many discussed among themselves.

”That’s Mr. Jing Yan,” said someone from the Bai Family guard.

”Mr. Jing Yan?”

”I think I’ve heard of him; wasn’t he summoned by Lady Bing Li from the Nine Days of Immortal Domain?”

”That’s not right! It’s said Mr. Jing Yan is at the Immortal Rhythm Level.”

”Mr. Jing Yan was indeed at the Immortal Rhythm Level earlier. Our Bai Family elder confirmed this. But now, Mr. Jing Yan seems to have stepped into the Immortal Venerable Realm.”

”Lady Bing Li is also impressive, to summon such a powerful cultivator. Lord Jing Yan’s combat power is probably close to the Immortal Emperor level.”

”Let’s not waste time; let’s continue to kill the demons. Those damned demons, they should be completely eradicated,” someone said through gritted teeth.

Their friends, many of whom had already died at the hands of the demons.

...

Jing Yan pursued the demons, occasionally casting Soul Technique Shadow Soul Kill, with more and more demons dying at his hands. If he encountered a protector of the Immortal Venerable Realm, Jing Yan would use Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique to kill them.

”Lord Demon!”

”That person is called Jing Yan, a cultivator summoned by Bai Bingli, the daughter of Bai Wentai, from the Nine Days of Immortal Domain,” reported a protector from Ten Thousand Demon Mountain upon discovering Jing Yan’s identity to Youlong Demon Lord.

”Damn it!”

”Why wasn’t such a cultivator prominently mentioned in earlier reports?” Youlong roared in anger.

”Lord Demon, this Jing Yan is peculiar. Previously, when Ten Thousand Demon Mountain investigated Bai City, we noticed this person. However, at the time, the information was certain that he was merely at the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm cultivation level, and while his strength was notable, at most, he had the combat power of a regular Immortal Venerable. Now, it seems he must have broken through during this period,” said a guard bowing his head.

”Damn it! Damn it!” Youlong Demon Lord roared repeatedly, his blood-red eyes fixed on Jing Yan killing Ten Thousand Demon Mountain cultivators within the city.

”Damn scoundrel, I shall personally meet you,” Youlong Demon Lord’s figure shifted, slipping through the gaps in the formation into the city, heading towards Jing Yan.

The Ten Thousand Demon Mountain cultivators who initially entered Bai City could not withstand Jing Yan; even multiple protectors together were no match for him. He, as the Demon Lord, had to personally take action, or else, if he didn’t stop Jing Yan, the cultivators of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain in Bai City would likely be annihilated.

Outside the golden barrier released by the Moon God Bell, Bu Yun and others stood staring blankly at Bai City.

Because Ten Thousand Demon Mountain used an Emperor Weapon to block Bu Yun and others, they simply could not enter Bai City to assist the cultivators inside and could only watch helplessly.

They thought for sure that Bai City was doomed. Bu Yun was also fuming inside, but despite the urgency, there was nothing he could do to break through the golden barrier of the Moon God Bell.

Who would have thought, suddenly, the situation inside Bai City reversed, and a black-robed cultivator emerged, continuously slaughtering large numbers of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain demons with overwhelming power.

”Very strong!” Bu Yun said softly.

”Lord Bu Yun, that person seems unfamiliar, without any impression. Bai City hides such a terrifying cultivator,” said a subordinate Immortal Venerable in awe.

Bu Yun slightly furrowed his brows, looking around at his subordinates.

”Do any of you know that person?” Bu Yun asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

”This is quite strange. With such a formidable cultivator, how come we have never seen him in Iron Bay? Not even heard of him!” Bu Yun shook his head.

”Lord Bu Yun, don’t you know that person?” someone asked.

”No, never seen before,” Bu Yun nodded, then said, ”Investigate, find out what his identity is.”

”Yes!” someone responded.

”Such powerful techniques. That must be the Nine Heavens Divine Fire, right? I’ve heard of this technique before, but I’ve never seen a cultivator use it in Iron Bay,” Bu Yun continued speaking softly.

In the Nightmare City region, the variety of techniques is far from comparable to the Nine Days of Immortal Domain. The most powerful Immortal Venerable Level Techniques are relatively scarce in the Eighteen Bays of Nightmare City. Generally, cultivators of the Immortal Venerable Realm don’t have the opportunity to learn techniques at the level of the Nine Heavens Divine Fire.

In Iron Bay, only Bu Yun and a few overlords among the Immortal Venerable can master techniques at the level of the Nine Heavens Divine Fire or slightly inferior Immortal Venerable Level Techniques.

Of course, although they haven’t had the opportunity to learn many powerful techniques, it doesn’t prevent them from knowing about various terrifying techniques. Whether in the Nine Days of Immortal Domain or the Nightmare City region, their existence spans countless billions of years. Thus, techniques reaching the power level of the Nine Heavens Divine Fire are not numerous, and having heard of the strongest Immortal Venerable Techniques is entirely normal.

Not only was Bu Yun’s group investigating Jing Yan’s identity, but other overlords in Iron Bay were also paying attention to Jing Yan.

”In Iron Bay, there’s actually hidden such a powerful figure!” said Lord Zong Ming, one of the Iron Bay overlords, staring through a law screen at the scene of Jing Yan killing Ten Thousand Demon Mountain demons.

”Lord, we’ve already found some information,” said a subordinate Immortal Venerable with a look of discovery.
