The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1055: Chapter 1055: Moved

Jing Yan could sense that the power of the blue longsword in Chang Hao’s hand was no weaker than his own Colorful Cloud Sword. The material of the Colorful Cloud Sword was naturally extraordinary, but due to various restrictions, it still belonged to a low-level Divine Artifact.

In terms of value, the Colorful Cloud Sword could easily outclass Chang Hao’s Divine Artifact longsword, but when it came to the power it currently possessed, it held no advantage.

At this moment, Jing Yan did not have any particular expression on his face, but he felt exceptionally cautious in his heart. After all, facing him was a Nine-star Void God, this battle would definitely not be easy.

Chang Hao directly took out his Divine Artifact longsword, causing those watching to be slightly stirred. In their eyes, Chang Hao was probably attempting to seize the opportunity to kill Jing Yan. If he didn’t want to kill Jing Yan, there was no need to take out a Divine Artifact. With his Nine-star Void God strength, defeating Jing Yan should have been a walk in the park.

Everyone had different expressions in their eyes; some hoped for Jing Yan’s death, while others did not want him killed. Especially Chun Jin, who certainly hoped that Jing Yan would survive.

”Brat, you’ve brought this upon yourself, so you can’t blame me!” Chang Hao glared at Jing Yan with a sinister look.

Initially, though Chang Hao had tripped Jing Yan by denying his promotion assessment application, he hadn’t intended to kill him then. But the events of today had caused Chang Hao’s killing intent towards Jing Yan to intensify.

”Old guy, perish!” Jing Yan no longer bothered to waste words with Chang Hao.

Since Chang Hao wanted to kill him, he had no reason to hold back either.

A colorful sword light condensed and suddenly charged at Chang Hao with ferocity. The overwhelming power surged forward, and Chang Hao’s eyes flashed as he instantly made a move.

Compared to ordinary Nine-star Void Gods, Jing Yan’s divine power was not inferior at all. However, Chang Hao was, after all, a seasoned Nine-star Void God. In terms of divine power, Chang Hao was a notch stronger than Jing Yan.

During the first exchange, neither of them went all out, and the power of laws they wielded was only minimal. As for their Divine Skills, they didn’t use them either; they both employed ordinary martial arts.

Jing Yan’s Holy Light Sword Technique soared above in the low-class world, but in the God Realm, it was merely ordinary. Chang Hao’s martial arts were naturally more formidable than Jing Yan’s.

In their first clash, Jing Yan was shaken back, while Chang Hao remained in place. Jing Yan retreated about five or six steps before regaining his footing.

”Nine-star Void God, the strength is indeed formidable,” Jing Yan thought to himself.

At this moment, Chang Hao’s expression was quite complex. He realized that this Jing Yan wasn’t someone he could easily crush.

Although he hadn’t wielded much power of laws with that sword, nor had he used his Divine Skills to attack, he had used the Divine Artifact and hadn’t held back much of his Purple Mansion Divine Power. Logically, such an attack should be enough to severely damage many Eight-star Void Gods. As for Seven-star Void Gods, they simply couldn’t withstand such a sword strike. Yet, Jing Yan, a Seven-star Void God, managed to endure it.

Chang Hao’s eyes, filled with a subtle sparkle, stared at Jing Yan, and his mood became heavier.

This Jing Yan dared to challenge him; he truly had some capability and wasn’t just acting impulsive. His combat power was undoubtedly sufficient to rival most Eight-star Void Gods.

Kuang Jushan and Xiang Nan, watching the duel, exchanged a glance. Being True God level powerhouses themselves, they could naturally discern the power of Jing Yan’s sword. It could be said that if Jing Yan participated in the promotion assessment to the Fourth Palace, failure would be nearly impossible. No wonder Jing Yan was so reluctant when his application was denied by Chang Hao, even seeking out **** to demand clarification.

Most of the Void Gods present couldn’t see much; they only assumed that Chang Hao hadn’t exerted much strength, hence allowing Jing Yan to merely retreat a few steps.

”Swish!”

After stabilizing his posture, Jing Yan followed up with another sword strike.

With this sword strike, Jing Yan almost channeled all his divine power from the Purple Mansion. He not only used the Holy Light Sword Technique but also tried his best to mobilize the power of laws. Jing Yan currently mastered a power of laws totaling over 300,000, with more than half of around 100,000 being the Fire Attribute Principles. Therefore, as this sword pierced forward, the burning red hue within the colorful sword light was the most dazzling.

Chang Hao also felt the pressure coming at him but showed no sign of worry.

With a mere thought, Chang Hao wielded a substantial amount of power of laws with his sword.

After all, Chang Hao had been cultivating for over one hundred thousand years, and during that time, the amount of power of laws he mastered was undoubtedly terrifying, almost numbering a million.

However, Jing Yan had the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill as assistance, enabling his control over the power of laws to reach the pinnacle. Chang Hao, in terms of controlling the power of laws, was far less refined than Jing Yan, and his Divine Soul strength was probably slightly inferior as well. Despite having a power of laws that greatly exceeded Jing Yan’s in quantity, the power exerted was surprisingly not much stronger.

This second sword strike collision, the power was even more terrifying. The raging power wreaked havoc over the enormous assessment arena. The energy shield surrounding the arena began to flicker. However, this was the assessment arena for promotion from the Third Palace to the Fourth Palace, so the deployed defense energy shield was not particularly strong, causing the light halo to flicker continuously.

It seemed to stir one’s emotions.

And the two figures on the assessment arena were forced to retreat under this violent power.

This time, Jing Yan retreated a distance of several tens of meters, and Chang Hao also took three steps back.

Jing Yan’s breath was somewhat unstable, yet his Undying Spirit Body quietly operated, healing the minor injuries on his body in an instant.

”How is this possible?” Chang Hao’s face finally revealed a look of disbelief.

He indeed couldn’t believe it.

Up until now, aside from not employing his Divine Skills, he had nearly exerted his full power. Yet even so, his attacks were still being fended off by Jing Yan.

What did this mean?

This meant that this Jing Yan could actually stand against some ordinary Nine-star Void Gods. This was undeniably true; Chang Hao’s second sword strike was undoubtedly capable of repelling some Nine-star Void Gods. If it were Eight-star Void Gods, those who could survive such a strike would not be many within the Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

Kuang Jushan and Xiang Nan finally showed a reaction.

”This Jing Yan...” Xiang Nan murmured under his breath.

”Very strong, his power is enough to compare with the most ordinary Nine-star Void Gods. And I’ve heard that this Jing Yan also possesses quite a strong Divine Skill. In other words, Jing Yan’s combat power might even rival a large portion of Nine-star Void Gods,” Kuang Jushan remarked softly.

This sentence was not only heard by Xiang Nan but also by the numerous martial artists surrounding Kuang Jushan.

All these martial artists took a deep breath, and when they looked at Jing Yan again, their eyes were filled with astonishment.

Jing Yan, with only Seven-star Void God Realm cultivation, could rival most of the Nine-star Void Gods?
