The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 933: Chapter 933 Slaying the Fire Poison Scorpion

Yi Xiang and others were excited and exhilarated.

These past years, because the Heavenly Origin Continent had no martial artists of the Half-step Void God Level, they had always been at a disadvantage in the Sky Sacred Hall and had felt a bit inferior.

The native warriors from the other six continents also looked down on the warriors of the Heavenly Origin Continent. If there was a conflict, it was generally the warriors of the Heavenly Origin Continent who would choose to retreat.

There was nothing to be done; without the backing of a Half-step Void God, they had no choice but to compromise, or they would suffer greater losses.

But now, the situation was evidently different. The Heavenly Origin Continent had a powerful figure like Lord Jing Yan. Would the other six continents dare to oppress the warriors of the Heavenly Origin Continent any longer?

”Lord Jing Yan, you must defeat the Fire Poison Scorpion.”

”Lord Jing Yan, be careful!”

”This Fire Poison Scorpion is truly ferocious. Its life force is amazing. Even after being struck by so many swords, it remains so fierce.”

Yi Xiang and others prayed for Jing Yan.

The Fire Poison Scorpion was indeed very difficult to kill. Although Jing Yan’s combat power was comparable to that of a One-star Void God, he still lacked Divine Power. Without the Colorful Cloud Sword reaching the level of a Divine Artifact, Jing Yan would have difficulty inflicting significant damage on the Fire Poison Scorpion.

However, Jing Yan had a notable advantage over some low-level Void Gods, which was his speed. Jing Yan’s speed was slightly superior to that of the Fire Poison Scorpion, completely neutralizing the scorpion’s most terrifying advantage. Additionally, its sonic attacks could not disturb Jing Yan’s mind, putting the Fire Poison Scorpion at a total disadvantage in the battle.

As long as Jing Yan did not become careless, the Fire Poison Scorpion would have no chance.

”Hissss!” The Fire Poison Scorpion, continuously wounded, grew increasingly frantic.

As time passed, the aura of the Fire Poison Scorpion finally started to weaken.

No matter how strong its life force was, there came a time when it would be exhausted.

”Swish!” The Fire Poison Scorpion suddenly flicked its tail and charged forward.

It wanted to flee.

It evidently knew that if it continued to battle this human, it would die here. The Fire Poison Scorpion was a cunning low-level Divine Beast, and when it couldn’t win, it attempted to escape.

”Miserable creature, trying to flee?” Jing Yan’s figure flickered.

The Fire Poison Scorpion transformed into a red light, swiftly darting, but Jing Yan quickly pursued.

”Its speed is truly fast.”

”The Fire Poison Scorpion is fleeing with all its might, and even the Seven-layered Sky Wings are having difficulty catching up.”

”However...” Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

”Nihility Divine Ability!” Jing Yan murmured in his mind.

His figure disappeared into the void, and the Power of Laws rippled slightly. Immediately, he reappeared near the Fire Poison Scorpion, with the Colorful Cloud Sword in his hand emitting a dazzling, colorful Sword Light.

With the Nihility Divine Ability, the Fire Poison Scorpion couldn’t escape Jing Yan’s grasp.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

This terrifying Divine Beast, the Fire Poison Scorpion, finally died under Jing Yan’s sword, its life force completely dissipated.

Behind him, Mr. Zhong and others, along with many warriors from the Natives Camp, also followed.

When they saw the corpse of the Fire Poison Scorpion on the ground, they all held their breath again. This Fire Poison Scorpion had previously killed many of them, but now it was dead.

Especially Ouyang Lin and others, who looked at Jing Yan standing near the Fire Poison Scorpion’s corpse with deep reverence in their eyes.

Jing Yan quickly extracted some Divine Beast Essence Blood from the Fire Poison Scorpion.

The Fire Poison Scorpion was a true Divine Beast, and its body contained a significant amount of Divine Beast Essence Blood, incomparable to that of spiritual beasts. In spiritual beasts, the chance of finding Divine Beast Essence Blood was very low, and even if there was any, it would usually be just a single drop.

However, in the Fire Poison Scorpion, the amount of extractable Divine Beast Essence Blood was significant. Jing Yan extracted nearly a hundred drops. This Divine Beast Essence Blood was not very useful to Jing Yan himself, but for those martial artists with lower cultivation, it was an invaluable treasure.

Even Dao Emperor Realm martial artists coveted Divine Beast Essence Blood, and for ordinary Saint Realm martial artists, it was truly a desirable item.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, impressive!”

”Haha, killing a Fire Poison Scorpion alone, something many low-level Void Gods can’t do,” Mr. Zhong said with a smile.

”I could kill the Fire Poison Scorpion mainly because my speed gave me an advantage. Without such speed, I would be powerless,” Jing Yan shook his head.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, no need to be modest. In this low-class world, you are probably the only one who could kill a Fire Poison Scorpion alone,” Mr. Zhong also shook his head.

He meant that even Guardian Chen Long couldn’t kill the Fire Poison Scorpion alone.

Jing Yan smiled and said no more.

Without surpassing the Fire Poison Scorpion in speed, killing it would indeed have been difficult.

”Brother Yi Xiang,” Jing Yan called to Yi Xiang.

”Lord Jing Yan,” Yi Xiang excitedly stepped forward.

”Distribute these Divine Beast Essence Blood,” Jing Yan handed a bottle of Divine Beast Essence Blood to Yi Xiang.

This bottle contained dozens of drops of Divine Beast Essence Blood.

He intended to give a portion of the Divine Beast Essence Blood retrieved from the Fire Poison Scorpion to Yi Xiang, and the rest, Jing Yan planned to send to the Heavenly Origin Continent later. Or, he could refine some elixirs with the remaining Divine Beast Essence Blood to give to those close to him. The energy of Divine Beast Essence Blood was too overbearing, but if refined into elixirs, it would become mild enough for martial artists with lower strength to use.

”How could I accept this?” Yi Xiang instinctively refused.

Divine Beast Essence Blood was highly precious to Saint Realm martial artists. Especially these Essence Bloods were from a real Divine Beast, far more valuable than those extracted from spiritual beasts or pseudo Divine Beasts.

”No need to decline, take it,” Jing Yan said with a frown.

”Well... alright! Thank you, Lord Jing Yan!” Seeing Jing Yan’s resolute attitude, Yi Xiang did not refuse further. He accepted the jade bottle with Divine Beast Essence Blood and planned to share it with dozens of Saint Realm martial artists of the Heavenly Origin Continent later.

Seeing this, the warriors from the other continents all envied Yi Xiang.

They were tempted too.

But they couldn’t possibly ask Jing Yan for Divine Beast Essence Blood.

”Lord Jing Yan, thank you for saving our lives. May we... request you to lead us?” A Half-step Void God timidly took a breath and looked at Jing Yan.

With a powerful person like Jing Yan leading them, they wouldn’t have to worry even if they encountered more Divine Beasts.

Jing Yan looked at him and shook his head.

”There shouldn’t be too many Divine Beasts here. If you are careful, you’ll be fine,” Jing Yan said.

If he hadn’t been disappointed by their behavior in the Flame Land, he would have led them as a matter of course. But now, things were different. If it weren’t for the fact that they were native warriors, Jing Yan wouldn’t have bothered to rescue them.

Hearing Jing Yan’s words, everyone felt somewhat disheartened.

”Let’s continue looking for treasures here. Finding a few more Law Crystals will make the trip worthwhile,” Jing Yan added after a pause.
