The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 942: After modification: Chapter 942 Communication of Origin

The native warriors and Divine Clan Martial Artists quickly gathered.

”It really is Mr. Zhong.”

”Why is Mr. Zhong alone? Where is Lord Jing Yan? And why haven’t the Guardians returned?”

Seeing Mr. Zhong standing there alone, everyone whispered among themselves.

”From today onward, all of you must listen to me.”

”Whatever I command you to do, you must obey. Defy me, and you will die!”

”Feign compliance, and you will die!”

”If I wish you dead, you will die!”

With a simple yet extremely domineering declaration, Mr. Zhong announced that he would become the ruler of this world.

”From now on, you will all be my slaves.” An invisible aura of death emanated from Mr. Zhong, enveloping everyone present.

Everyone’s faces changed drastically upon hearing these words.

”Mr. Zhong, what do you mean by this?” A native warrior at the Half-step Void God level frowned and asked.

”Die!” Mr. Zhong’s gaze sharpened as he pointed a finger, sending a black ripple towards the Half-step Void God.

Before the Half-step Void God could say another word, he was struck dead, without even a chance to struggle.

Witnessing this scene, everyone was finally shaken to their core. Although Mr. Zhong’s presence had been terrifying before, seeing him in action made their fear truly palpable. Now, they understood how terrifying Mr. Zhong really was.

At this moment, even those who still harbored doubts dared not speak up.

”Congratulations, Master, on successfully obtaining the Ancestor of Principles!” Ouyang Lin knelt and kowtowed on the ground, his face plastered with a fawning smile.

”Mm.” Mr. Zhong nodded at Ouyang Lin. ”Ouyang Lin, from now on, you are in charge of conveying my orders. Anyone who disobeys, kill them immediately. If their power exceeds yours, inform me, and I will handle it personally.”

A chilling murderous intent flickered in Mr. Zhong’s eyes.

”As you command.” Ouyang Lin responded promptly.

”Stand up.” Mr. Zhong raised his arm, lifting the prostrating Ouyang Lin to his feet.

Everyone else watched Ouyang Lin.

In fact, Ouyang Lin had been enslaved by Mr. Zhong long ago and had become his servant. Except for Mr. Zhong and Ouyang Lin, no one else knew about this identity before now.

Ouyang Lin was not the only Half-step Void God enslaved by Mr. Zhong. Any Half-step Void Gods who had previously sought trouble with Mr. Zhong had been enslaved and thus never mentioned Mr. Zhong’s name or any information about him.

”Ouyang Lin, come with me now.” Mr. Zhong continued, ”Chen Long and the others are all dead, but Jing Yan managed to escape. Help me find that little brat.”

”Yes!” Ouyang Lin did not question anything.

Mr. Zhong led Ouyang Lin to the place where the Ancestor of Principles had appeared, instructing Ouyang Lin to release his Divine Thought to search for anomalies.

However, by this time, Jing Yan had already reached four thousand meters underground, making it impossible for Ouyang Lin to detect him or the Qiankun Small World.

”The Chen Long Guardian is dead?”

”This... how is it possible?”

”Just who is Mr. Zhong?”

”How is he so powerful? Even a Half-step Void God couldn’t withstand a single finger?”

”From what he said, it seems Jing Yan is alive. Among all those who went in search of the Ancestor of Principles, only Jing Yan is still alive.”

As Mr. Zhong and Ouyang Lin went to search for Jing Yan, the remaining people discussed in terror.

”I sense that Mr. Zhong’s aura is very malevolent. It seems he wants to control this world. What should we do? If we don’t resist, we’ll completely lose our freedom.” A worried Half-step Void God remarked.

”Resist? How? Even the Chen Long Guardian is dead, and we Half-step Void Gods can’t withstand a single finger.” Another Half-step Void God exhaled a deep breath.

”Obey and you live, defy and you die!” Most of the Half-step Void Gods were so terrified that they dared not even think of resisting, let alone act on it.

”Master, I did not find anything unusual here!” Ouyang Lin reported cautiously after a thorough search.

”Damn it!”

”That little brat escaped fast!” Mr. Zhong cursed in a low voice.

Ouyang Lin bowed low, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

”However, let’s see how long you can hide. Ouyang Lin, go to the Heavenly Origin Continent now and capture everyone related to Jing Yan. Kill anyone who resists!” Mr. Zhong ordered coldly.

”Yes!” Ouyang Lin replied with fervent eyes.

...

Four thousand meters underground, in a small space.

Time ticked away bit by bit.

Three full days passed.

”Whew!”

”Finally succeeded!” Jing Yan exhaled a long breath.

To absorb the Fire Origin into the Qiankun Ring had been extremely difficult because Jing Yan’s Divine Thought and Primordial Energy would dissipate upon touching it.

After three days, he managed to barely absorb the Fire Origin into the Qiankun Small World using a temporarily set-up Formation.

”Swish!” Jing Yan entered the Qiankun Small World.

At a depth of four thousand meters, it should be relatively safe. Even if Mr. Zhong brought other Half-step Void God Warriors, they wouldn’t be able to detect anything this far underground. So Jing Yan had no immediate plans to leave.

Entering the Qiankun Small World, Jing Yan set up another Formation that would help him use the Fire Origin.

With the Formation in place, Jing Yan sat down cross-legged and began to silently operate the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, communicating with the Fire Origin.

The Fire Origin couldn’t be directly refined, not even by a Main God or higher-level beings. However, cultivation could still be facilitated using the Fire Origin.

The Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill operated laboriously, communicating with the Fire Origin.

”Boom!” Mysterious energy waves spread out suddenly.

At the same time, a large number of Fire Laws manifested, which Jing Yan immediately began to comprehend.

Normally, comprehending the Laws required Jing Yan’s Divine Thought to find them and then slowly explore them over time. But now, the Fire Laws were manifesting visibly around him, extremely active. As soon as his Divine Thought touched them, he could completely grasp them in a short amount of time. Moreover, spreading his Divine Thought, he could comprehend a multitude of Fire Laws simultaneously.

In the span of a single breath, Jing Yan comprehended dozens of Fire Laws.

Before this, Jing Yan had comprehended just over a thousand Fire Laws in total. Within a single breath, he grasped dozens more, an unbelievable speed of comprehension, all thanks to the Fire Origin.
