The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 791: Chapter 791: Embryo of Instantaneous Movement

Gu Wutian saw Jing Yan flying away, and with a single stride, he chased after him.

His method of swift movement was extremely unique.

One could only see him taking a step, and the spatial barriers directly before him would crack open. Gu Wutian disappeared through these fissures, entering the Endless Void. In the next instant, Gu Wutian’s figure would eerily appear from a newly cracked open spatial barrier ahead.

This seemed almost like an embryonic form of instantaneous movement. However, there were two factors that limited Gu Wutian’s speed. One was that each time Gu Wutian entered and reappeared from the Void, he couldn’t traverse a very long distance, as if he dared to enter the Void but couldn’t stay there for too long.

The second reason was that tearing apart space also took a certain amount of time. This time felt very short but when added up, it became quite significant.

These two reasons greatly reduced the speed of his instantaneous movement. Nonetheless, his speed was still astonishingly fast.

In several flashes, Gu Wutian’s figure had turned blurry in everyone’s line of sight.

”Wutian... return quickly, these people are attacking us!” Gu Wanquan saw Gu Wutian pursuing Jing Yan and immediately yelled anxiously.

Jing Yan had left, but the Martial Artists of the Glory Alliance were still there. Just now, Jing Yan had ordered the Martial Artists of the Glory Alliance to annihilate the Gu Family. Now that Gu Wutian had gone after Jing Yan, how could their Ancient Family Camp withstand the assault from the Glory Alliance Camp?

Gu Wanquan shouted anxiously at the back of Gu Wutian.

But Gu Wutian gave no response whatsoever and his figure vanished in the clouds in a blink of an eye.

”Fellow Daoists, attack!” The Martial Artists of the Alliance shouted.

For the Glory Alliance, the appearance of Axe Demon Gu Wutian was indeed an unexpected event. Gu Wutian’s strength was also dreadfully formidable. But now, Gu Wutian had been lured away by Alliance Leader Jing Yan alone, and everyone did not know if Alliance Leader Jing Yan would be killed by Gu Wutian in this battle.

All they could do now was to continue attacking the Ancient Family Camp, obeying Alliance Leader Jing Yan’s command to eradicate the Gu Family stronghold and kill all the Gu Family.

The Martial Artists of the Alliance struck again, clashing with the Gu Family.

Gu Wanquan’s expression was cold, his gaze maliciously fixed on the Martial Artists of the Alliance.

”Everyone, hold on for just a while!”

”That despicable Jing Yan won’t last long before dying at Wutian’s hands. Once Wutian kills Jing Yan, he will come back to help us! So, we just need to hold out!” Gu Wanquan said encouragingly.

His words indeed had a not inconsiderable effect.

The Martial Artists of the Ancient Family Camp seemed to see hope again. As long as Gu Wutian could kill Jing Yan and then return in time, they could turn defeat into victory. Then, with Gu Wutian’s help, they could completely crush the Glory Alliance.

The strength of Axe Demon Gu Wutian had been witnessed by them all. Among those from the Glory Alliance, only Jing Yan could give Gu Wutian a run for his money, while the others were simply no match for Gu Wutian.

Both sides engaged in a fierce battle once more.

Jing Yan flew through the sky, operating the Sky Wings, his speed as fast as lightning, quickly leaving the battlefield behind.

While flying, Jing Yan’s Divine Soul also spread out, keeping every action of Gu Wutian’s pursuit at his fingertips.

Gu Wutian’s method of rapid flight amazed Jing Yan. This Gu Wutian could actually stay in the Void, a capability and behavior that Jing Yan currently dared not even attempt. Even if he immediately took refuge in the Qiankun Small World after entering the Void, it would not work. Because once he entered the Qiankun Small World, Jing Yan would lose control over the external world, and he would drift forever in the Endless Void, never able to return, not even able to leave the Qiankun Small World.

Jing Yan stopped in the air, turned around, and watched Gu Wutian approaching.

This time, Jing Yan did not say a word and directly launched an attack on Gu Wutian. This battle would certainly not be easy.

”Bring it on!” a heavy voice emerged from Gu Wutian’s throat.

His huge axe incessantly struck at Jing Yan.

”Boom!”

”Bang! Bang!”

The entire space, with the two of them as the center, was collapsing. A large number of fissures spread like a massive spider web.

And Jing Yan and Gu Wutian were ferociously battling atop this web.

’So strong!’

’Just how far has his Body Refinement reached?’ Jing Yan thought.

Jing Yan’s Body Refining Secret Method was very powerful, with three levels in total, Jing Yan at present had mastered only the first level, which was the Pure Yang Spirit Body.

The resilience of the Pure Yang Spirit Body was roughly comparable to that of a Dao Artifact.

Jing Yan felt that Gu Wutian’s Body Refinement level had likely reached at least the realm of the Heavenly Dragon Spirit Body.

Because Jing Yan had not attained this level, he did not know how strong the Heavenly Dragon Spirit Body genuinely was and could only guess.

’If my Body Refinement reaches the level of the Heavenly Dragon Spirit Body, could I freely enter the Endless Void with my physical body?’ Jing Yan continuously executed Sword Intent and Holy Light Sword Technique.

The fight between the two appeared evenly matched for the moment.

However, it didn’t take long for Jing Yan to become more serious. He found that his attack frequency was slower than Gu Wutian’s.

Gu Wutian’s attack consisted of pure strength, without any Secret Techniques or Martial Arts being used, just constant swings of his axe.

Thanks to a strong Divine Soul, Jing Yan’s attack speed was also very fast, far surpassing that of an ordinary Martial Artist. But as time passed, Jing Yan still found that his attack rate was less frequent than Gu Wutian’s.

In other words, if the fierce battle continued in this way, the final one to be cut down would be himself.

”Sky Wings!”

Upon realizing this, Jing Yan didn’t hesitate and instantly changed his tactic, employing the Sky Wings.

After cultivating the Sky Wings to the Sixth Level, Jing Yan’s speed was breathtakingly fast and extremely nimble.

Currently, it seemed that relying on the Sixth Level Sky Wings was the only way to contend with Gu Wutian.

”You’re very fast!” Gu Wutian frowned and said, looking at Jing Yan.

He found his killing intent could no longer lock onto Jing Yan every time. This meant that part of his attacks would lose their threat to Jing Yan.

Operating the Sixth Level Sky Wings with all his might, even though it greatly drained his Primordial Energy, Jing Yan quickly took the upper hand in this battle.

Gu Wutian’s travel speed was fast as well, but his entering and exiting the Void seemed to have brought some negative effects that made him far less agile than Jing Yan.

”Hit!” After evading Gu Wutian’s killing intent several times in succession, Jing Yan found a rare opportunity and struck out with his sword, the Nihility Secret Method in action.

Gu Wutian tried to block with his huge axe but was almost too late.

”Thunderous Boom!”

The sword stroke landed solidly on Gu Wutian’s body. Gu Wutian’s frame was sent flying like a shooting star, thrown far into the distance.

”Phew!” Jing Yan exhaled and stopped, watching intently in the direction Gu Wutian had been sent flying.
