The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179: Swallowing Void Beast

Looking at the vast and indistinct figure in the void, Jing Yan’s breath involuntarily condensed. With a powerful Divine Soul, Jing Yan could sense dangers that could be fatal to him in advance.

Around the blurry figure, five silhouettes were swiftly moving. From Jing Yan’s perspective, he could tell that these five people were using a combined attack formation to assault the giant creature.

”Swallowing Void Beast!”

”That’s a Swallowing Void Beast that lives in the Endless Void!” Wen Zhuo also showed a change in expression and finally whispered.

”Swallowing Void Beast? That thing is a Swallowing Void Beast?” Jing Yan swallowed hard.

Jing Yan had heard of Swallowing Void Beasts, knowing it was an extremely powerful special Divine Beast. This kind of Divine Beast only lives in the Endless Void and can devour the energy of the endless void to strengthen itself.

Void Yin Wind is one of the foods of the Swallowing Void Beast.

The Void Yin Wind that poses a mortal danger to humans is instead a tonic for Swallowing Void Beasts.

Even though he had heard of Swallowing Void Beasts before, Jing Yan was still unable to calm his tumultuous emotions when he saw a real Swallowing Void Beast for the first time at this very moment.

”Such terrifying power!” Jing Yan said in a deep voice.

The Swallowing Void Beast has four hooves and immense strength. On top of the Swallowing Void Beast’s head is a gray horn. This horn is also the most formidable weapon of the Swallowing Void Beast.

The horn can release energy shockwaves. Even a Main God-level powerhouse would have to actively avoid the energy attack from the Swallowing Void Beast’s horn.

The previous trembling of the Void Divine Ship was due to being struck by the energy released from the Swallowing Void Beast’s horn. Even the exceedingly sturdy Void Divine Ship seemed like a small boat in a storm against this force.

”Fortunately, this Swallowing Void Beast is not yet an adult.” Wen Zhuo said with some relief.

”What? Such a big body and not an adult yet?” Jing Yan was stunned.

”Yes, it is not an adult, but it is close. Once it matures, the Swallowing Void Beast’s body will be more than twice as large as this one. If we encounter an adult Swallowing Void Beast, our Void Divine Ship might be truly in danger, perhaps even crushed.” Wen Zhuo nodded.

”Do you often encounter Swallowing Void Beasts during void travel?” Jing Yan suppressed his amazement and asked.

”We don’t often encounter Swallowing Void Beasts.” Wen Zhuo shook his head and said, ”In my experience, I frequently shuttle between the Emperor Extreme Divine Domain and the White Sand Divine Domain along this route. Before this, I had at least ten void voyages without encountering any Swallowing Void Beasts. Void routes are developed as relatively safe paths, and it’s generally difficult to be attacked by Swallowing Void Beasts.”

”Can our Void Divine Ship withstand this Swallowing Void Beast?” Jing Yan confirmed.

”Yes, rest assured! Despite this Swallowing Void Beast’s power, most ordinary Main Gods meeting it would also end tragically. However, Elder Rui An’s strength can handle it. Right now, the five personal guards of Elder Rui An are relying on the combined attack formation’s power to exhaust the Swallowing Void Beast’s energy.” Wen Zhuo said.

”Those five people are Elder Rui An’s personal guards?” Jing Yan stared at the five figures surrounding the Swallowing Void Beast.

”Exactly, those five individuals are all personal guard protectors to Elder Rui An. Each of them has strength at the quasi-Main God level. With the aid of the combined attack formation, even an ordinary Main God caught by the five personal guard protectors would not gain any advantage and might even be counter-killed over time.” Wen Zhuo nodded and said.

”Quasi-Main God level? No wonder those five people have such strong power.” Jing Yan suddenly realized.

Quasi-Main God, as the name implies, means that to some extent, they possess combat power at the Main God level, but they still differ from a regular Main God.

Jing Yan knew that the Luo Jiu Divine Palace has a Vice Palace Master who is at the quasi-Main God level.

A Martial Artist at the Nine-star True God level, taking one more step forward, becomes a Main God. Once they step into the Main God level, within the Dao Palace, they will condense a Divine Core. The Divine Core’s power is unparalleled.

The condensation of a Divine Core is an achievement countless Nine-star True God level Martial Artists dream of. However, condensing a Divine Core is extremely difficult. The number of Main God level Martial Artists in the vast Luli Divine Domain is just a handful.

Some who have been cultivating for a long time but are unable to condense a Divine Core to step into the Main God level might give up on independently condensing one, instead finding ways to seek and absorb another Divine Core.

A Nine-star True God peak Martial Artist can forcibly condense a Fake God Core within the Dao Palace after absorbing another Divine Core.

Martial Artists who condense a Fake God Core in this manner are quasi-Main Gods.

But searching for other Divine Cores is not an easy task.

In the Divine Realm, the available Divine Cores are those left behind after other Main Gods die. In other words, a Divine Core is left behind only after a normal Main God dies. If a quasi-Main God realm Martial Artist dies, their Fake God Core, even if left behind, cannot be reused by other Martial Artists.

Therefore, in the Divine Realm, Divine Cores are invaluable treasures.

There are many Martial Artists who lose confidence in independently condensing a Divine Core, but there are very few who can find other Divine Cores to assist in condensing a Fake God Core.

Clearly, the five personal guard protectors of Rui An condensed their Fake God Cores by absorbing other Divine Cores.

”Within the Purple Spirit Commerce, every High-Level Elder has their own personal guard protectors, though the numbers vary. The more influential the elder, the more personal guard protectors they have, sometimes exceeding ten. Elder Rui An has eight personal guard protectors. On this Void Divine Ship trip, Elder Rui An brought only five of them.” Wen Zhuo’s eyes gleamed as he spoke.

The fight between the five personal guards and the Swallowing Void Beast lasted for four hours.

”Yan Jin God Alchemist, look quickly, Elder Rui An has personally taken action.” Wen Zhuo quickly said.

Jing Yan didn’t need Wen Zhuo to point out; he had also seen Rui An’s figure.

At this moment, Rui An swiftly approached the Swallowing Void Beast in the void. Jing Yan saw that Rui An was holding a large black longsword. This longsword was several times larger than his own Colorful Cloud Sword.

”Beast, meet your end!” Elder Rui An roared furiously.

Simultaneously, a dazzling radiance rose up around him in the void.

The massive gray sword emanated a burst of light as bright as the sun.

Soon after, that burst of light slashed toward the enormous Swallowing Void Beast.

Jing Yan’s eyes were fixed on this scene. In an instant, the dazzling Sword Light clashed with the energy shockwave released by the Swallowing Void Beast’s horn. The Sword Light ripped through the energy shockwave from the Swallowing Void Beast’s horn, then quickly attacked the massive body of the Swallowing Void Beast.

”Roar!” The Swallowing Void Beast roared in fury as it was struck by the Sword Light.

The enormous body was knocked back repeatedly by the tremendous force in the void.
