The Sword God of the Universe

Jing Yan was truly fighting for his life.

Although he had a Defense Holy Artifact to protect his body, this holy artifact was itself damaged, and its protective ability fell somewhere between that of a Defensive Spiritual Artifact and a complete Defense Holy Artifact. Even with the boost from the Heavenly Dragon Spirit Body, it was impossible to withstand the unrestrained assaults from so many Saint Realm Martial Artists.

The Saint Realm Martial Artists besieging Jing Yan were indeed relentless. Since Jing Yan was suppressed by the Rainbow Divine Bridge, he simply had no time to take them into account, which is why they did not fear his counterattacks.

If things continued this way, Jing Yan really couldn’t hold on much longer. It must be said, the Heavenly Dragon Spirit Body was truly formidable. If not for mastering the Heavenly Dragon Spirit Body, Jing Yan might have already perished.

With no other choice, he could only fight with all he had, calling upon his Divine Soul and pushing his Divine Thought to its limit. Such an act was harmful to the Divine Soul. Had he not been pushed to this desperate situation, Jing Yan would definitely not have taken such measures.

Yet it was precisely because he did so that an incredible turn of events occurred.

The Three-layered Sword Intent underwent a transformation in this perilous moment.

Jing Yan’s Three-layered Sword Intent, while extremely powerful, could not yet be considered true Divine Skills. When Jing Yan had used the Three-layered Sword Intent to attack the Guardian Long Chen, Long Chen had also been surprised, believing Jing Yan to have grasped the embryonic form of a Divine Skill.

Divine Skills are difficult to master. Even in the God Realm, Martial Artists who have mastered Divine Skills are a minority. One can only walk the path of personal enlightenment to attain Divine Skills. And in this world, Martial Artists who have mastered Divine Skills are even rarer. Take the more than ten Saint Realm Martial Artists attacking Jing Yan, for instance. They had not even grasped the barest essence of Divine Skills. Their attacks on Jing Yan relied completely on the Power of Laws, Martial Arts, and weapons.

The Three-layered Sword Intent suddenly transformed into a true Divine Skill.

"What is this aura?"

"How strange, it feels unfamiliar, yet it exerts a sovereign pressure over everything."

"What’s going on?"

"Could it be that Jing Yan has some kind of strategy that he hasn’t employed until now?"

With the emergence of the Sword Intent Divine Ability, everyone present, especially the Saint Realm Martial Artists attacking Jing Yan, immediately sensed a pervasive aura. They perceived that the Power of Laws in this space seemed to have become more active. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Jing Yan felt his Sword Intent Divine Ability and a slight tremor went through his heart, followed by an expression of wild joy.

"Break for me!" Jing Yan roared in fury.

The Holy Light Sword Technique, now infused with the Sword Intent Divine Ability, pierced toward the myriad of colorful lights in an instant.

"Hiss!"

The barrier formed by the myriad of colorful lights was forcibly torn apart by this sword light.

Previously, Jing Yan’s full-force strike could only deform the myriad of sword light without penetrating, but now a single strike had torn a gap in the myriad of colorful lights.

The corner of Jing Yan’s mouth revealed a cold smile as he fixed his gaze on the high platform.

"Sky Wings!"

His figure flickered, and in the next instant, Jing Yan appeared atop the high platform.

The myriad of colorful lights formed by the Rainbow Divine Bridge hadn’t been completely shattered by Jing Yan’s Sword Intent Divine Ability, but tearing a gap was enough for Jing Yan.

The Great Sect Master of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect saw Jing Yan with sword in hand rushing towards the high platform, her face turning pale with shock. With a thought, colorful light flowed around her body; she obviously gathered the power of the Rainbow Divine Bridge to protect herself.

She was worried that Jing Yan would strike at her.

In such a brief moment of time, she could think of no additional measures, and protecting herself was an instinctive choice.

Jing Yan’s eyes flashed, and his longsword swung out, unleashing terrifying power.

"Fang Jie, today is the day you die!" Jing Yan’s target with this sword was Fang Jie.

Killing Fang Jie would undoubtedly deeply offend the First-grade force that was the Fang Family, but Jing Yan was too enraged to care at the moment. His heart burned with rage, filled with hatred toward Fang Jie, intent on first slaying him. As for the Fang Family’s retaliation, that was a problem for later.

"Elder Que, save me!" Fang Jie cried out desperately as he saw the black sword light attack.

Elder Que had always been by his side, and even if Fang Jie hadn’t called out, Elder Que would have certainly done his utmost to save him. The issue was, even before Jing Yan had mastered the Sword Intent Divine Ability, it was difficult for the Second Realm of Holy Elder Que to block Jing Yan.

Elder Que’s expression darkened, knowing it was his duty to protect Fang Jie. Aware he couldn’t stop the strike but compelled to try his best, he repeatedly swung his arms, attempting to block the sword.

"Boom!" Amidst the terrifying collision of energies, Elder Que was sent flying, tumbling through the air.

After sending Elder Que flying with a strike, Jing Yan casually swung out another sword. Fang Jie had already activated his Defense Holy Artifact, its surface etched with dense patterns that flickered with a faint light halo. However, because he hadn’t yet advanced to the Saint Realm, he couldn’t unleash the full might of the holy artifact.

Under the swirl of the black sword light, the energy layer formed by the holy artifact was directly annihilated.

"Stop!"

"Stop now, I am the Young Master of the Fang Family—if you kill me..."

Fang Jie’s cries of terror came to an abrupt end.

Could Jing Yan possibly stop his hand? The body of Fang Family Young Master Fang Jie became nothingness on the spot. Jing Yan casually beckoned with his finger, collecting the Defense Holy Artifact from the Sumeru Ring on Fang Jie’s body.

"Bai Xue, I am taking you to the Qiankun Small World—do not resist," Jing Yan conveyed directly to Bai Xue through his Divine Thought.

This thought was transmitted simultaneously as he dispatched Fang Jie.

While collecting the resources from Fang Jie’s body, Jing Yan enveloped Bai Xue in a wrap of Primordial Energy. Bai Xue, though not understanding Jing Yan’s intent, certainly trusted him, thus she did not resist at all.

"Whoosh!" In the next instant, Bai Xue vanished from the high platform.

Jing Yan had taken her into the Qiankun Small World.

"Young Master!" Elder Que roared in fury. His Saintly body quickly returned to the scene; he had watched helplessly as Fang Jie was killed by Jing Yan.

"You... you’ve got some nerve. Do you realize the catastrophe you have wrought? Fang Jie is the Fang Family Young Master. Even with a First-grade force behind you, you will not escape your fate!" Elder Que’s fear and anger mixed as he bellowed at Jing Yan.

"You can die as well!" Jing Yan couldn’t be bothered with this old man.

This Elder Que, always lurking by Fang Jie’s side, bearing responsibilities for many of the latter’s misdeeds—how could Elder Que be innocent?

A flash of sword light swept out.

The true Sword Intent Divine Ability was indeed enormously powerful. Even though Elder Que activated his Defense Holy Artifact and strove to defend with all his might, the protective energy layer formed by the holy artifact was breached by merely three strokes of sword light.

Elder Que, dead!

Of course, he couldn’t let go of Elder Que’s resources either. With a beckoning gesture, he collected them all for later consideration.

The expression of the Sect Master of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect had turned deathly pale at this point. However, she hadn’t lost her mind yet, she knew to continue using the Rainbow Divine Bridge to protect herself while also attacking Jing Yan.
