The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2289: Chapter 2289: Who Doesn’t Want an Emperor Weapon?

The true combat power of Youlong Demon Lord is somewhat weaker than Zong Ming and Bu Yun, but the gap is not too large. Moreover, as the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, he certainly possesses formidable treasures.

Why did Youlong Demon Lord dare to look down on Bu Yun when he brought people over earlier? It was because he had many means, and even Bu Yun couldn’t kill him!

After Youlong Demon Lord engaged with Jing Yan, his subordinates, the demons, once again fought fiercely with the cultivators of the Bai Family and Bai City. However, because many Immortal Venerable and Immortal Rhythm level demons were swiftly eliminated by Jing Yan earlier, the demons of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain no longer held any advantage in overall strength.

Furthermore, the Bai Family had an Immortal Venerable level Soul Cultivator, Mu Hai. When this Soul Cultivator, Mu Hai, was unleashed, his destructive power was astonishing. With one soul technique, very few Immortal Charm realm demons could block it.

Although there was also an Immortal Venerable level Soul Cultivator among the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain’s demons who came to Bai City, he needed to maintain the Moon God Bell and had little time to deal with Bai City’s cultivators. The Moon God Bell was an Emperor Weapon, unmatched in power, but also quite difficult to control. A common Immortal Venerable wouldn’t be able to control it at all.

Youlong Demon Lord roiled with boundless demonic qi around his body, fiercely launching attacks on Jing Yan. Within the demonic qi came the sound of wailing ghosts, which could disturb one’s mind. Most Immortal Venerable cultivators feared losing focus just from hearing the sounds within the demonic qi.

But who was Jing Yan?

His Divine Soul Body was remarkably strong, and these wailing ghost sounds couldn’t affect him in the slightest.

”Nine Heavens Divine Fire!”

Unleashing the Nine Heavens Divine Fire, countless black fireballs rained down from the sky. These searing fireballs descended into the demonic qi, causing it to rapidly evaporate. Around each fireball, a large gap would appear. Youlong Demon Lord, whose primary cultivation was in the Death Law, was severely suppressed by Jing Yan’s Nine Heavens Divine Fire.

”Is this all the skill the Third Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain has?” Jing Yan sneered.

After the Nine Heavens Divine Fire evaporated most of the demonic qi, Jing Yan swung the Ice Flame Sword, sending the Chaos Sword slashing towards Youlong Demon Lord.

The current Chaos Sword had reached the level of an Immortal Venerable spell. Although its grade might not temporarily match the Nine Heavens Divine Fire, the Chaos Sword was a spell Jing Yan had created himself. Therefore, the power it unleashed in his hands was even more terrifying than when he unleashed the Nine Heavens Divine Fire. Moreover, the Chaos Sword could also integrate the power of the Ancient Tree Inheritance.

This strike tore through space, with immense pressure, instantly cleaving towards Youlong Demon Lord.

Youlong Demon Lord spread his arms, making subtle motions with his hands in front of him. Immediately, a layer of gray barrier unfurled around his body. Just as the barrier spread out, Jing Yan sensed an extremely evil aura from it. The rich smell of blood seemed to envelop the entire Bai City.

When the gray barrier’s glow dispersed, a surge of scarlet light could be seen within.

”Boom!” A thunderous roar sounded.

The Chaos Sword struck hard against the gray barrier. Youlong Demon Lord’s body trembled, then was sent flying like a meteor.

However, the gray barrier around his body did not shatter. The sword light of the Chaos Sword couldn’t penetrate it.

Jing Yan stared at the stabilized Youlong Demon Lord, frowning slightly.

The power of that strike, Jing Yan knew very well. That strike, even placed across the entire Faro Heaven, few Immortal Venerables could block it with their strength. Even Yuantong Immortal Venerable would find it difficult to withstand.

”What strong defense magic!” Jing Yan thought to himself.

”Kid, you’re still too green.” Youlong Demon Lord quickly flew back over.

He spoke lightly, but in truth, Jing Yan’s strike just now had not been easy to endure. His technique had blocked the strike, but the terrifying energy contained in the sword light had caused considerable consumption of his divine power. Even his accumulated demonic qi had depleted by about a tenth.

Youlong Demon Lord realized that in his duel with Jing Yan, he couldn’t afford a prolonged fight. If he wanted to kill or defeat Jing Yan, he must do so with a swift battle. The longer the delay, the more unfavorable it would become for him.

While Jing Yan was fighting Youlong Demon Lord, more people arrived outside the golden barrier released by the Moon God Bell.

Among them were Sovereign Zong Ming, Niu Yan Overlord, and Tian Ba Overlord.

These figures were all overlords of Iron Bay, holding similar status and power as Bu Yun. They clearly noticed the situation in Bai City and hurried over from their respective headquarters upon discovering the outbreak caused by Jing Yan.

After the three arrived, they greeted each other, naturally also acknowledging Bu Yun who had arrived earlier in Bai City.

”Do you all know who the person fighting Youlong Demon Lord is?” Niu Yan Overlord, with his large, nearly goldfish-like eyes, scanned the other overlords and asked.

The others all smiled slightly.

They all knew Jing Yan’s identity and background before coming. Bu Yun, too, had inquired about Jing Yan’s background earlier.

”This person was summoned from the Nine Days of Immortal Domain by Bai Wentai’s daughter, Bai Bingli. His name is Jing Yan. It is said that when he first arrived, he was at the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm, but now it seems he has already become an Immortal Venerable. Truly remarkable!” Sovereign Zong Ming said with a smile.

”I fear this person’s strength is not below ours! If he stays long-term in Iron Bay, it might be...” Tian Ba Overlord said, his voice serious.

”He’s a cultivator from the Nine Days of Immortal Domain. He probably won’t stay long in our Nightmare City area, right?” Bu Yun said, unsure.

”That’s not necessarily true. Many cultivators summoned from the Nine Days of Immortal Domain never returned either,” Tian Ba Overlord shook his head, saying.

”Who do you think will defeat the other, Jing Yan or Youlong Demon Lord?” Sovereign Zong Ming’s gaze returned to the two figures clashing above the city.

”Heh, Youlong is the Third Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. The treasures and means he possesses probably aren’t any less than what any of us have, right? And Jing Yan was just at the Immortal Charm realm before; how many treasures could he have? I think the likely result of this battle is that Youlong Demon Lord will win,” Niu Yan Overlord said, his big eyes laughing.

”That old fellow Youlong even brought the Moon God Bell. Aren’t any of you tempted by the Moon God Bell?” Niu Yan Overlord turned his eyes to the golden barrier.

As soon as he spoke, the other three fell silent.

The Moon God Bell is an Emperor Weapon! In the entire Nightmare City Eighteen Bays, there are only three known Emperor Weapons. Who wouldn’t want to possess an Emperor Weapon?
