The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058: Promoted to the 4th Palace

The Director of the Truth Department of the Third Palace had reddened eyes.

This person really wanted to kill Jing Yan. However, now, a chill rose in his heart. He was also a Nine-star Void God, considered strong among the Nine-star Void Gods, having been cultivating for a long time. But he clearly knew that his combat power might be slightly weaker than Chang Hao’s.

Yet, even someone just a bit stronger than himself, like Chang Hao, was slain by Jing Yan in the assessment arena. If he were to face Jing Yan, what would the final outcome be?

He glanced at Jing Yan, standing on the assessment arena, who was gathering Chang Hao’s resources, and found it impossible to suppress the fear burgeoning in his heart.

After quite a while, Xiang Nan raised his hand, halting the formation surrounding the assessment arena.

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Jing Yan directly stored Chang Hao’s resources into his own Sumeru Ring. If no one demanded Jing Yan to hand over these resources, Jing Yan would undoubtedly pocket them.

”Sir Minister...” Chang Hao looked pitifully at Xiang Nan.

Chang Hao knew he was completely ruined. If he were a True God, perhaps the Luo Jiu Divine Palace could help him reshape his physical body, but as a Nine-star Void God, hoping for the Luo Jiu Divine Palace to reshape his body was incredibly slim.

Using the treasures required to reshape a physical body on a Nine-star Void God like him would clearly be a waste.

Xiang Nan glanced at Chang Hao’s Divine Soul Body and waved his hand.

”Jing Yan, during the battle just now, Elder Chang Hao had already conceded and asked you to stop. Why didn’t you stop?” Xiang Nan looked at Jing Yan and asked.

Although it was a questioning inquiry, the tone was not severe. A peerless genius like Jing Yan was destined to soar to great heights in the future. Perhaps, it wouldn’t be long before Jing Yan ascended to a True God. By then, his status and strength would not be below that of Xiang Nan, the Third Palace’s assessment minister.

”I couldn’t hold back for a moment, sorry.” Jing Yan smiled slightly and said.

Hearing Jing Yan’s reply, Xiang Nan revealed a wry smile. For a moment he couldn’t hold back? This was obviously not the truth.

Some Void Gods couldn’t see through it, but Xiang Nan and Kuang Jushan, these True Gods, how could they not see Jing Yan’s level of control? If Jing Yan really wanted to spare Chang Hao’s life, he definitely could have done so.

”Forget it, forget it.” Kuang Jushan shook his head and said.

He then gazed at Jing Yan intently, ”Jing Yan, during your duel with Elder Chang Hao, you seemed to use another Divine Skill, right?”

Kuang Jushan was referring to the Nihility Divine Ability.

Jing Yan knew it couldn’t be hidden, so he straightforwardly nodded and said, ”Yes, apart from the Sword Intent Divine Ability, I also used the Nihility Divine Ability.”

Two Divine Skills.

The audience collectively gasped in astonishment. Mastering two Divine Skills, for a Void God to grasp two completely different Divine Skills, this was truly defying the heavens.

It should be known that the vast majority of Void Gods are unable to comprehend even one Divine Skill.

Among True Gods, only a few master two Divine Skills. As for mastering three or more, it’s even more unattainable.

Agents like Kuang Jushan have only mastered one Divine Skill.

Jing Yan not only mastered two Divine Skills, but these two skills should both be of the top tier. No need to elaborate on the Sword Intent Divine Ability; the Nihility Divine Ability is also confirmed to be on par with the Sword Intent Divine Ability in grade.

Kuang Jushan and Xiang Nan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

”Jing Yan, you can directly ascend to the Fourth Palace. You don’t need to participate in this promotion assessment for the Fourth Palace.” Kuang Jushan thought for a moment and said to Jing Yan.

Would someone capable of killing a Nine-star Void God like Chang Hao have any problem ascending to the Fourth Palace? Without the realm’s condition limits, Jing Yan could easily ascend to the Fifth Palace. To ascend from the Fourth Palace to the Fifth Palace, one needs to meet the condition of being a Nine-star Void God.

”Thank you, Vice Minister.” Jing Yan, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but show joy.

”No need to thank me. With your strength, staying in the Third Palace doesn’t make sense. Alright, you may leave the arena. Next, other martial artists still need to take their promotion assessments.” Kuang Jushan said with a wry smile.

Jing Yan left the assessment arena, and Chang Hao’s Divine Soul Body also drearily flew off the arena. At this moment, Chang Hao felt utterly despondent. He didn’t know what would happen to him in the future. If he couldn’t reshape his physical body, his Divine Soul Body would also be utterly obliterated over time.

”Brother Jing Yan...” Chun Jin grinned at Jing Yan.

”Chunjin Director, I’ll head to the Fourth Palace shortly.” Jing Yan smiled at Chun Jin.

”Hmm, going to the Fourth Palace is good, very good.” Chun Jin nodded repeatedly.

Subsequently, the Fourth Palace promotion assessments began. Jing Yan also remained in the assessment Great Hall. When the assessment concluded, he would ascend with other martial artists who passed, along with Kuang Jushan and others, from the Third Palace to the Fourth Palace.

Because the number of martial artists participating wasn’t many, each round of assessments involved nine people simultaneously. Consequently, it didn’t take much time. Including Jing Yan, over forty people successfully ascended from the Third Palace to the Fourth Palace.

The news of Jing Yan defeating and killing Elder Chang Hao also spread rapidly.

Everyone who heard the news initially reacted with disbelief, and many scoffed at it, finding it laughable. However, the news was quickly confirmed, as Elder Chang Hao’s remaining Divine Soul Body couldn’t be fabricated.

The news spread from the Third Palace to the entire Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

Luli Divine Domain, Sky Flower City’s Heavenly Flower Tower.

”Jing Yan!”

”Ascended from a Low-class World three years ago, not yet two hundred years old.”

”Martial Arts Cultivation is at the Seven Stars Void God Realm.”

”Already mastered two top-tier Divine Skills, one is Sword Intent Divine Ability, the other is Nihility Divine Ability.”

”His combat power is astonishing; killed the Nine-star Void God Chang Hao in the Third Palace’s assessment department at Luo Jiu Divine Palace. Chang Hao was a seasoned Nine-star Void God.”

”Currently ranked ninety-ninth on the Sky Flower List.”

Information about Jing Yan appeared in the hands of a white-haired elder in the Heavenly Flower Tower. The elder saw the information and slightly narrowed his eyes.

”Indeed, the most outstanding Martial Arts Genius in Luli Divine Domain over thousands of years is remarkable!”

”Hmm, move his ranking ahead of Lian Jue, place him at sixty-eighth.” After some analysis, the elder instructed a man in black standing in front of him.

”Yes!” The man in black responded and then left.

At the center of Sky Flower City, on a Heaven-reaching Stele, the name ranked ninety-ninth was Jing Yan. If a martial artist’s Divine Thought touched Jing Yan’s name, Jing Yan’s image would appear in their mind.

And at this moment, Jing Yan’s name at ninety-ninth suddenly vanished. In the next instant, it appeared at sixty-eighth.
