The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1445: Chapter 1445: Power of the Chaos Sword

The Shadow Emperor changed his mind several times, but finally a smile appeared on his face again.

He looked at Jing Yan.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, congratulations, congratulations. You must have reached the Ninth Floor of the Quenching God Star Tower, right? You must have gained great benefits inside. This is indeed a joyous occasion.” The Shadow Emperor said with a smile.

Jing Yan sneered as he looked at the Shadow Emperor.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, have you considered the matter of joining the Wanbao Divine Hall? The Wanbao Divine Hall is the most powerful force in the All Paths World. If you join the Wanbao Divine Hall, it will certainly be like a fish in water for you. It seems that this shouldn’t be a difficult decision,” the Shadow Emperor said again with a cold gaze, noticing Jing Yan’s silence.

”Shadow, do you think I would still choose to join the Wanbao Divine Hall at this point? You wish to kill my wife, kill my daughter, kill my friends, and still want me to join the Wanbao Divine Hall? Don’t you find your words laughable?” Jing Yan snorted with derision.

The Shadow Emperor’s expression slightly changed.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, please do not get angry.”

”Elder You Ying’s actions absolutely cannot represent the entire Wanbao Divine Hall. His actions only represent himself. I believe that if the Heaven Pavilion Master knows what he has done, he will surely be displeased too. Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, rest assured, as long as you are willing to join the Wanbao Divine Hall and enter the Earth Pavilion, the Earth Pavilion Master will definitely demand an explanation for you from the Heaven Pavilion,” Emperor Chang Ying interjected, speaking to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan glanced at Chang Ying with a smile.

”Fellow Daoist Chang Ying, are you not connected to this matter at all?” Jing Yan said with focused eyes.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, I am truly not involved in this matter. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your Daoist couple; I absolutely had no intention to harm them,” Chang Ying hurriedly explained, waving his hand.

”There’s no need to ask! Fellow Daoist Chang Ying, don’t try to fool me. From what I know, fighting is prohibited in the Star Tower Restaurant. I imagine that Feng’er and the others, knowing that You Ying wanted to kill them, wouldn’t leave the Star Tower Restaurant to seek their own doom, right?” Jing Yan’s eyes flashed sharply.

Although Gao Feng and others did not mention why they left the Star Tower Restaurant, Jing Yan could also deduce the reason.

”This...” Chang Ying said with an embarrassed expression, ”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, you’ve misunderstood me. I was just following the rules of the Star Tower Restaurant. Their stay was booked for ten years. When the time expires, they naturally need to leave the Star Tower Restaurant.”

Although Emperor Chang Ying looked a bit embarrassed, his tone also became stiff.

Being an Earth Pavilion Elder, he did want to win over Jing Yan, but Jing Yan’s attitude made him feel dissatisfied. He could be courteous to Jing Yan, but if Jing Yan did not appreciate it, then he saw no need to maintain a friendly demeanor.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, we should seize the time and fight our way out. The longer we stay here, the more disadvantageous it is for us. These people might have already informed the headquarters of the Wanbao Divine Hall, and more members of the Wanbao Divine Hall may arrive,” Emperor Chang Kong sent a message to Jing Yan, sounding somewhat anxious.

”Very soon, Fellow Daoist Chang Kong, don’t worry,” Jing Yan directly responded to Chang Kong.

Hearing Jing Yan’s words, both You Ying and Chang Ying’s faces grew cold. They immediately realized that Emperor Chang Kong of the All Paths Sacred Land was secretly communicating with Jing Yan.

”Jing Yan, I advise you not to reject a toast only to drink a forfeit. Ten years ago, you killed members of the Wanbao Divine Hall God Lords here, which is a serious crime. It is only logical for me to capture your companions. I advise you, do not waste time here. Now, you have only two choices: either die or join the Wanbao Divine Hall. Choose one of these paths yourself.”

”Of course, if you join the Wanbao Divine Hall, then your Daoist couple and your daughter can survive. But these people from the All Paths Sacred Land will certainly die!” The Shadow Emperor’s tone became sharp, as he was already preparing to strike.

”You Ying, I want to see how you force me to a dead end,” Jing Yan’s aura faintly intensified.

Boom!

Divine Power suddenly streamed out from his body.

The Colorful Cloud Sword appeared in Jing Yan’s hand, its Sword Light dazzling as energy of Laws unfolded.

”So ungrateful, courting death!” The Shadow Emperor reacted swiftly, striking almost simultaneously with Jing Yan. He knew that Jing Yan was incredibly strong, possibly not weaker than himself even before entering the Quenching God Star Tower. Now that Jing Yan had come out, his Divine Soul Body was surely more powerful, and his Combat Power must have increased.

Thus, when he made his move, the Shadow Emperor went all out.

”Chaos Sword!” Jing Yan uttered in a low voice.

A seemingly inconspicuous Sword Shadow slashed out. The colorful stream of light easily tore open the space barrier, surging towards the Shadow Emperor with lethal intent.

”What?” The Shadow Emperor was shocked.

At this moment, he realized he had grossly underestimated the situation.

He had anticipated Jing Yan’s enhanced Divine Soul Body would increase his overall Combat Power. However, he did not expect Jing Yan’s Combat Power to be this formidable. As his attack met the colorful Sword Shadow, he instantly knew he was no match for the current Jing Yan.

This time, Jing Yan’s strike made everyone present widen their eyes.

Many had thought that after coming out of the Quenching God Star Tower, Emperor Jing Yan would be enraged upon learning his Daoist couple and others were nearly killed, possibly clashing with Elder You Ying and others in anger. However, most believed Emperor Jing Yan wouldn’t dare take action directly on the Star Tower Square.

Yet now, Emperor Jing Yan had indeed struck against Elder You Ying.

Emperor Chang Kong, watching not far away, also looked at Jing Yan in surprise.

Immediately, his eyes focused on Emperor Chang Ying, keeping vigilance over him. If Emperor Chang Ying intended to join forces with Elder You Ying, he was prepared to stop him. Simultaneously, he also guarded against Emperor Chang Ying making a sudden move against Gao Feng and the others.

”Puff!”

The colorful Sword Shadow, upon colliding with the Shadow Emperor’s attack, directly tore it apart. The colorful Sword Shadow seemed unaffected, continuing at astonishing speed, aiming for the Shadow Emperor’s body.

In his fright, the Shadow Emperor waved his arms repeatedly, various Light Halos erupting from the surface of his body. As a Heaven Pavilion Elder of the Wanbao Divine Hall, he possessed numerous life-saving techniques. Several beams of light burst forth, each emanating vast Power fluctuations.

”Boom!” The colorful Sword Shadow hit the multiple Light Halos surrounding the Shadow Emperor, producing a muffled sound.

Everyone saw that the various Defense Energies around the Shadow Emperor’s body shattered into pieces, bursting almost simultaneously. Obviously, the Shadow Emperor’s numerous defense methods were all incapable of withstanding Emperor Jing Yan’s seemingly inconspicuous colorful Sword Shadow.
