The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1317: Chapter 1317: Little Black, Go!

Chen Tongyue’s remarks didn’t acknowledge that his martial arts talent was inferior to that of Yan Jin.

Of course, this also reflected his inner truth.

What he said made sense. It’s quite normal for a Martial Artist to be trapped in the Three Flowers Main God Realm for millions of years. Even those with exceptionally high talent may get stuck in their realm. Once stuck, it’s hard to say how long it will take to find a breakthrough opportunity.

The Immortal Bridge is arguably one of the top opportunities for Martial Artists in the entire God Realm. If one cannot use the opportunity of the Immortal Bridge to reach the Nine Tripods Main God Realm, then after leaving the bridge, no one can say how long it will take to birth the fifth Divine Core Flower and become one of the Nine Tripods.

Upon hearing Chen Tongyue’s words, Qian Liu God Lord nodded in agreement.

...

”Little Black, it’s up to you again!” Jing Yan communicated with Little Black through Divine Thought.

”Woah woah... hahahaha... wahahaha... is it finally Little Black’s turn to act?” Little Black’s arrogant laughter directly resonated in Jing Yan’s mind.

Jing Yan couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Jing Yan also felt that Little Black’s bragging level was becoming increasingly absurd. When it first reached seven-level Source Power, and its Spiritual Body had just emerged, Little Black was still a good kid. But after reaching eight-level Source Power, it gradually changed, becoming more rambunctious.

And recently, having grown to nine-level Source Power, Little Black became even more excessive.

Indeed, Little Black is already at nine-level Source Power.

Back when Jing Yan was in the Vast Smoke Divine Realm, treating the Lan Wood Spiritual Root for the Yunxia Sect, he happened to remove a cluster of dark energy parasitizing the Lan Wood Spiritual Root.

Initially, Jing Yan cut off about one percent of that dark energy and let Little Black devour it. Little Black took ten years to consume and absorb around one percent of the dark energy, simultaneously greatly increasing its power.

Seeing Little Black capable of devouring dark energy, Jing Yan was relieved, so he directly entrusted the remaining dark energy to Little Black for it to devour and absorb by itself.

This dark energy is indeed not easy to digest, but for Little Black, it’s a great supplement.

It took several hundred years for Little Black to devour all the dark energy.

And it was only when Jing Yan ascended The 15th Immortal Bridge that Little Black woke up. Upon waking, Little Black had already reached the level of nine-level Source Power.

Jing Yan could feel that the power contained within Little Black was at least several times stronger than when it was at eight-level. If Little Black’s strength were integrated into his attacks, it would at least increase the attack power by over fifty percent, possibly reaching seventy to eighty percent augmentation.

With Little Black’s assistance, Jing Yan felt he might be able to face Chen Tongyue head-on. Even if he couldn’t defeat him, he wouldn’t be easily beaten.

”Alright! Time is running out, let’s go!” Jing Yan ordered Little Black with a stern face.

”Fear not, master, watch Little Black’s capabilities!” The pure and vigorous Source Power aura quickly condensed and emerged from Jing Yan’s body.

The power of the 17th Immortal Bridge soon felt Little Black.

Jing Yan’s Divine Soul continuously sensed the changes in the Immortal Bridge’s power. At this moment, he was astonished to discover a hesitation in the bridge’s power upon sensing Little Black.

Previously, as Jing Yan ascended one Immortal Bridge after another, the bridge’s power showed no hesitation.

If a Martial Artist’s abilities met the Immortal Bridge’s requirements, then the bridge’s power would retreat immediately. If they fell short, no matter how much effort the Martial Artist exerted, it would be futile.

But now, the power of the Immortal Bridge seemed to hesitate upon encountering Little Black.

This subtle change made Jing Yan’s emotions suddenly tense. Could it be that Little Black’s energy is not acknowledged by the Immortal Bridge?

The will of the Immortal Bridge does not recognize the use of abilities outside oneself to ascend. Treasure like Acquired Spiritual Treasure is not acknowledged by the Immortal Bridge will, and Martial Artists using them will not be effective.

This is inevitably the case.

Some powerful Masters of Ten Thousand Gods can even refine terrifying attack treasures. For instance, the Master of Dead Spirit Mountain, with his trademark Dead Spirit Sacred Order, which contains extremely fearsome attack power.

If a Martial Artist attempted to use such treasures to ascend the Immortal Bridge, it wouldn’t be allowed by the bridge’s will.

Therefore, at this moment, Jing Yan was inevitably a bit anxious. If Little Black was not acknowledged by the bridge’s will, he could be in trouble. Indeed, there’s a possibility that, although Little Black integrated with him long ago, it wasn’t his self-realized, cultivated Divine Power and Domain Power.

Jing Yan focused entirely, cautiously sensing the changes in the Immortal Bridge’s power.

Jing Yan was correct in his perception of the Immortal Bridge’s power. When the bridge’s will detected Little Black, it indeed hesitated.

The bridge’s will even exercised a trace of power to envelop Little Black’s Spiritual Body.

The moment Little Black’s Spiritual Body was wrapped by this trace of bridge power, it became compliant. Little Black could feel the terrifying nature of this power. The feeling was akin to the opponent being able to annihilate it with a thought. Fortunately, Little Black quickly realized that this power had no intention of attacking it.

The will of the Immortal Bridge was merely analyzing what Little Black was!

”Little Black was scared to death...” Little Black showed an expression of deep fear.

”What happened?” Jing Yan shifted his thoughts.

”Master, a terrifying power just wrapped around me, really terrifying! It scared Little Black to death!” Little Black said in an exaggerated tone.

Just when Little Black finished speaking, the power on the 17th Immortal Bridge finally scattered like the tide.

The resistance Jing Yan faced vanished without a trace.

Jing Yan’s Divine Thought immediately sensed this change in the Immortal Bridge. His Divine Thought was continually focused on the bridge’s power. After feeling the power of the bridge dissipate, Jing Yan breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems the Immortal Bridge recognizes Little Black after all. Although there was some hesitation, it was acknowledged. Perhaps, this is also because a Divine Pill Master almost never ascends the Immortal Bridge.

It’s extremely rare for a Divine Pill Master to participate in the Immortal Bridge Meeting, let alone reach this stage.

”Success!” Jing Yan’s eyes revealed a joyful expression.

”Master, isn’t Little Black amazing? Hahaha, when Little Black acts, victory is assured, and no obstacle is insurmountable!” Little Black’s voice echoed in Jing Yan’s mind.

Jing Yan rolled his eyes again.

Under the Immortal Bridge.

”What’s going on?” Kuai Rong said, confused.

Nearby, Sun Zhao was also somewhat dumbfounded. Both of them felt the power of the Immortal Bridge dissipating on the 17th bridge.

”Did Yan Jin succeed?” Sun Zhao was full of suspicion and then frowned, ”Just now, I think I sensed the Source Power aura!”
