The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: Felling an Enemy with a Single Sword

The vicious smile on Yin Tianhe’s face did not last long.

In the blink of an eye, his smile disappeared, replaced by seriousness with a hint of panic.

The Sword Light condensed by Jing Yan gave him a terrifying pressure; he even felt that he might not be able to block that Colorful Sword Light.

”An illusion, it must be an illusion.” Yin Tianhe couldn’t believe that with his strength, he was not a match for Jing Yan.

He roared continuously in his heart.

The Colorful Sword Light and black barrier collided at an extremely fast speed.

When the Sword Light and the black barrier collided, Yin Tianhe finally understood that the feeling was not an illusion; he truly couldn’t withstand this terrifying strike.

He didn’t even have time to think about why he wasn’t Jing Yan’s opponent and was hit by a huge force, sent flying. Yes, he was knocked into the air, thrown with incredible speed from where he was standing on the ground.

On the surface of his body, the Energy Shield formed by the Divine Artifact struggled to withstand the energy impact around him. As his body flew uncontrollably, a mouthful of scarlet blood spurted from Yin Tianhe’s mouth.

With just one strike, Yin Tianhe was injured.

Jing Yan watched as Yin Tianhe’s body flew more than a thousand meters away; he did not continue to pursue.

This strike, Jing Yan didn’t even use his full strength, not even a trace of his Sixth-level Body Origin Power. Merely relying on the Martial Arts, fused with Divine Power and Sword Intent Divine Ability, Yin Tianhe, a veteran Nine-star True God, was knocked away.

This also proved that if Jing Yan exerted his full strength, he definitely had combat power not weaker than the top-tier True Gods.

This strike from Jing Yan left everyone present stunned.

Many people couldn’t even react in time; they only saw Yin Tianhe being knocked away and couldn’t understand why he was sent flying. After turning their thoughts slightly, they realized that Yin Tianhe was actually not Jing Yan’s match.

Terrifying!

So powerful!

This Jing Yan’s strength was unexpectedly formidable!

The eyes of many General Directors and elders turned towards Jing Yan with a changed expression. Although Yin Tianhe’s strength was not at the forefront among many General Directors and elders, it was definitely not at the bottom, at least in the mid-range level. Yet Jing Yan injured Yin Tianhe with just one strike.

Everyone could see that Jing Yan had not used his full strength. They could tell that this strike from Jing Yan only used Sword Intent Divine Ability.

”How could it be this strong?”

”Nine-star True God, Jing Yan is a Nine-star True God!”

”Oh my god! How did this guy cultivate?”

”In Luo Jiu Space for ten years, he went from a Three-star True God to a Nine-star True God?”

”Impossible! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

Some people, even having witnessed the scene with their own eyes, couldn’t accept it, shouting impossible in their hearts.

At this time, Jing Yan retracted the High Grade Divine Artifact, Colorful Cloud Sword, and his gaze swept towards the Water Moon Department Chief and Truth Department Director.

Do I still need to apologize now?

Jing Yan didn’t speak, but the meaning in his eyes was unmistakable.

The Truth Department and Water Moon Department Chiefs both fell silent!

Especially the Water Moon Department Chief, his eyelids twitched violently. He pretended to appear very calm, but anyone could see that he was very unsettled at the moment. From this strike of Jing Yan’s, he realized that even he probably wasn’t Jing Yan’s match. What if Jing Yan challenged him if he spoke further?

”Chief, let’s go!” Jing Yan said to the somewhat lost Guan Lun.

”Okay... okay!” Guan Lun was startled awake and nodded.

Watching Jing Yan and Guan Lun leave, no one uttered a word.

Within the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, apart from those few Main God level experts like the Palace Master and Vice Palace Master, there probably wasn’t anyone who could suppress Jing Yan steadily in terms of strength.

Jidao Palace, Guangzhong Hall.

”Palace Master, Jing Yan has come out; he trained in the Secret Realm for ten years.” Vice Palace Master You Jin said to Xiao Ying with a peculiar expression.

Xiao Ying’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t speak.

”After Jing Yan came out of the Secret Realm, he had a conflict with Yin Tianhe, and the two fought.” You Jin continued, having just received this news.

”Oh?” Xiao Ying furrowed his brows, ”What was the result?”

”Yin Tianhe was knocked away by Jing Yan with one sword strike, I heard the injuries were not light.” You Jin took a deep breath.

When he first heard of this, he was also momentarily stunned, questioning whether it was spoken in reverse. After confirming that it was Jing Yan who struck Yin Tianhe, not the other way around, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

This Jing Yan is going to defy the heavens.

At this speed, the Main God realm is not far away!

”Jing Yan, he... well!” Xiao Ying said after a slight tremor in his body.

”Vice Palace Master You Jin, how do you think Jing Yan serving as a Jidao Palace elder would be?” Xiao Ying, changing the subject, asked You Jin.

He suddenly came up with this idea.

Considering the strength Jing Yan had displayed, it was naturally enough for him to serve as a Jidao Palace elder. However, Jing Yan’s qualifications represented a question both significant and trivial.

Hearing Xiao Ying’s question, You Jin pondered.

The position of a Jidao Palace elder is not easily determined. If Jing Yan were to become a Jidao Palace elder, it would be sensational news throughout the entire Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

”I think it’s acceptable.”

”But it still needs the support of the elders and directors.” You Jin said.

He did not find it inappropriate for Jing Yan to hold the elder position. In this world, Martial Arts are respected, the capable come first. It doesn’t mean the older you are, the higher your position. Jing Yan struck Yin Tianhe away with one sword; this in itself proves that Jing Yan’s strength is very close to the Main God level, more than enough to serve as an elder.

Having an elder like Jing Yan would also raise the overall strength of the entire Luo Jiu Divine Palace. Elders and directors are the real core figures. Once the Luo Jiu Divine Palace goes to war with other forces, elders and directors are the main combat members.

”Then bring it up, and see what the elders and directors think.” Xiao Ying smiled.

...

”What?”

”Jing Yan serving as a Jidao Palace elder?”

”Isn’t this... too fast? Shouldn’t we wait a few thousand years?”

”Jing Yan is a bit too young! Is this the Palace Master’s intention?”

”And the Vice Palace Master supports it too?”

When the proposal reached the ears of the directors and elders, the entire Ninth Palace was astir.

”I actually think it’s fine, we’ve all seen Jing Yan’s strength with our own eyes. Jing Yan becoming a Jidao Palace elder is only a matter of time, whether sooner or later doesn’t seem to make much difference.”

”Hmm, I think so too.”

”Support! Jing Yan’s strength is sufficient, and with the support of the Palace Master and Vice Palace Master, why should I oppose it?”

In less than a month, this proposal was almost fully fermented among the directors and elders.
