The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1422: Chapter 1422: Retreat in Defeat

This Sword Light, though it appeared simple, could not be easily blocked even by the Viper Emperor when unleashed by Jing Yan. Although the Sword Intent Domain it contained was only at the Third Realm and not the Ultimate, its power was still terrifying.

”Break for me!”

Emperor Huang Zhi’s face slightly flushed as he controlled the Power of the Inch Star with a loud shout. The Domain formed by the Inch Star frantically crushed the Colorful Sword Light.

”Snap!” The power contained in the Colorful Sword Light began to crumble.

Jing Yan was not surprised by this. Upon sensing the Power of the Inch Star, he understood that this simple Sword Light could not pierce the Inch Star. The Earth Attribute’s basic domain was already very formidable in defense, and thinking of defeating the Inch Star with one sword would be underestimating Emperor Huang Zhi.

”Ultimate Red Flame!” At this moment, Jing Yan activated the Ultimate Red Flame of the Fire Attribute’s basic domain.

An overwhelming sea of scorching flames, carrying waves of heat, swept out to burn the encroaching Inch Star.

The red sea of fire collided fiercely with the gray Inch Star, pressing against each other intensely.

In this terrifying exchange of attacks, the radiating Power was extremely frightening. Even some God Lords at the Emperor Level would probably not dare to easily enter the central area where these two energies crushed each other.

”Boom!”

”Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The continuous loud explosions, accompanied by the collapse of the Heavenly Dome, could be heard from far away.

At this time, Hu Yang and others were all staring in awe at this scene. They fully understood why Emperor Huang Zhi had opened with his strongest move, the Inch Star. The person named Jing Yan was clearly an extremely formidable Emperor-level powerhouse.

As the Ultimate Red Flame tangled with the Inch Star, Jing Yan’s Gravity Domain was also unleashed.

With the activation of the Gravity Domain, a powerful Gravity Field instantly appeared.

Within the Inch Star, the thousands of stellar phantoms began to deform under the tear of the Gravity Field. The gray light also began to twist. The burning speed of the Ultimate Red Flame suddenly accelerated. It was visible that the red sea of fire was rapidly spreading towards the position of Emperor Huang Zhi.

”What?” A flicker of dread flashed in Huang Zhi’s eyes.

Not only was his Inch Star affected by the Gravity Domain, but even he himself felt a terrifying pulling force.

Emperor Huang Zhi continuously channeled Divine Power, trying to break free from the Gravity Domain. From his body, masses of green light emanated, releasing the Domain Power of the Wood Attribute.

This should be the ultimate Withered Wood Domain.

In this world, green threads intertwined, and the green light flickered.

The spread of the Red Flame Domain was once again halted.

”Break!” Jing Yan’s eyes suddenly sharpened as he swung the Colorful Cloud Sword once more.

This time, the Source Power of Little Black was also infused into it. This Sword Light contained the Power of the Time Law and the Space Law as well.

The Colorful Sword Light pierced directly through space, stabbing into the midst of the gray and green halos.

It was visible that within the gray and green brilliance filling the entire sky, a colorful Sword Light sped through at an astonishing pace. The dual Domain Power formed by the Withered Wood Domain and the Inch Star could not be blocked.

In the blink of an eye, the Colorful Sword Light was in front of Emperor Huang Zhi.

”Boom!” Emperor Huang Zhi’s body erupted with a protective shield of colorful Defense Energy.

However, his body was still sent flying by the immense force.

The various halos in the world also vanished accordingly.

Emperor Huang Zhi’s body was blown away several tens of thousands of meters before he gradually regained control. In the distant sky, Emperor Huang Zhi, containing the surging Divine Sea Divine Power, stared at Jing Yan.

”I lost!” Emperor Huang Zhi said in a deep voice.

Though Emperor Huang Zhi was immensely proud, defeat meant defeat, and he could afford to lose.

This Emperor Jing Yan was indeed stronger than him, not just by a little, but a whole level. If they were to fight to the death, he certainly wouldn’t be a match for Emperor Jing Yan.

The words ”Emperor Huang Zhi” plunged the entire scene into silence.

Emperor Huang Zhi, surprisingly, just lost like that? They had witnessed Emperor Huang Zhi being blown away but still found it hard to believe that he would lose to this unheard-of Jing Yan.

Master Hu of the Ghost Leaf Sect widened his eyes, looking at Jing Yan, then at Emperor Huang Zhi in the distance.

”Emperor Huang Zhi, you...” Master Hu instinctively wanted to say something.

But Huang Zhi shook his head at him and said, ”Master Hu, I’m sorry, I couldn’t help you or the Ghost Leaf Sect win this city capture battle. However, Emperor Jing Yan’s strength far surpasses mine, I’m not his opponent. Continuing to fight won’t change the outcome.”

Subsequently, Emperor Huang Zhi channeled Divine Power and fled far away.

”Mr. Jing Yan is really amazing!” Zhao Tianmei excitedly whispered.

”Yes! Really incredible, even Emperor Huang Zhi is not a match for Mr. Jing Yan.” Liu Lixue clasped her hands, her voice trembling.

They weren’t the only ones excited.

Even Divine Lady Sect Master Xiao Ziyi, deep in her eyes, had disbelief. Before witnessing Jing Yan defeat Huang Zhi with her own eyes, she had no confidence.

Although Jing Yan himself admitted he was an Emperor-level powerhouse. Although Zhao Tianmei and others had previously said that even the Viper Emperor feared Jing Yan like a mouse fears a cat.

Yet Xiao Ziyi still lacked confidence in her heart. But now, she was convinced that Mr. Jing Yan was indeed extremely powerful. This level of strength probably rivaled that of Super First-class Divine Sovereign Realm experts.

She was secretly grateful, grateful for the Divine Woman Sect’s luck. To encounter a powerful figure like Mr. Jing Yan at the last moment was a serendipitous opportunity.

Xiao Ziyi glanced at Zhao Tianmei. This time, the Divine Woman Sect’s reversal of fortune owed much to disciple Zhao Tianmei; had she not established a good relationship with Mr. Jing Yan, then surely this time, the Divine Woman Sect would have lost the city capture battle to the Ghost Leaf Sect.

”Master Hu, it’s over,” Xiao Ziyi said softly, looking at Hu Yang, whose face was ashen.

”Hmph!” Hu Yang looked at Xiao Ziyi and said, ”From today, Dawn Light City will belong to the Divine Woman Sect. My Ghost Leaf Sect’s people will withdraw from Dawn Light City within a month.”

”Sect Master Xiao, you’ve hidden well!” Hu Yang continued, though his words were directed at Xiao Ziyi, his gaze was on Jing Yan, who had already sheathed the Colorful Cloud Sword.

”Master Hu overpraises. In terms of means, compared to Master Hu, I, Xiao Ziyi, truly feel inferior,” Xiao Ziyi said with a subtle implication.

Hu Yang naturally understood what Xiao Ziyi meant. He glanced at Emperor San Shi, who remained silent beside him, and felt his heart bleed. This time, he had indeed shot himself in the foot!
