The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1850: Chapter 1850: Going All Out

As the Divine Rune Tree shattered, the power fluctuations of the black axe it covered were released.

Without the Divine Rune Tree concealing its aura, Jing Yan and the others immediately sensed the energy aura emanating from the black axe.

Die Dong swiftly beckoned, and the black axe flew into his hand.

Die Dong frowned, seeming somewhat dissatisfied with the black axe.

”In the first layer, there’s really nothing good, just garbage,” Die Dong muttered softly, then put away the black axe weapon.

He was indeed not very satisfied with the axe weapon.

For ordinary life forms in the Fifth Step Dao Method Realm, this weapon should be quite good. Its value is not low. Jing Yan judged from the energy fluctuations on the axe that its value might be around ten thousand Star Stones. Even in the Slaughter God Hall, it could be exchanged for at least thirty to forty thousand points of Slaughter Points.

However, these points might not attract someone like Die Dong, who is a Void Son. After three people spent a hard day breaking the Divine Rune Tree to obtain such a weapon, it is understandable that Die Dong wasn’t satisfied.

”Let’s keep going!”

”Time is limited! Once inside the Ancient Tree Elder’s Ruins, we only have seven days, and every wasted bit costs us,” Die Dong said, looking back at Jing Yan and Ye Hai.

Three figures continued to rush forward.

Before long, they saw a patch of light again, still a Divine Rune Tree. Beneath the cover of the Divine Rune Tree, there was also a treasure, looking like some kind of mineral resource. But because it was impossible to detect any aura, from the surface it was impossible to identify what it actually was.

The Endless Chaos is vast and boundless, with resource types beyond calculation. Things that look identical on the surface may have real values differing by thousands upon thousands of times.

”Void Son, there’s another treasure, should we take it?” Ye Hai asked.

Die Dong glanced at the mineral resource covered by the Divine Rune Tree, seeming somewhat hesitant. Based on the previous estimate of breaking the Divine Rune Tree, it might take about a day to break this one to get the treasure inside. And he only had seven days in total.

If spending a day breaking this Divine Rune Tree results in obtaining something of low value, then in Die Dong’s view, it would be a significant loss.

”Never mind, we’ll ignore any Divine Rune Trees we encounter along the way. Let’s hurry and enter the Second Layer. The treasures in the Second Layer are much more valuable,” said Die Dong.

Actually, even in the First Layer, one could encounter some real treasures. Or rather, even in the First Layer, the worst treasures are worth at least a thousand Star Stones. After all, this is the relic of an Ultimate Strong Person from the Primordial Chaos Ancient Tree Space, and how could such a strong person leave something of no value?

It’s just that the treasures in the First Layer are generally much inferior to those in the Second Layer. However, in the First Layer, it is possible to encounter treasures of extremely high value. Over a long time, there have been some lucky individuals who, having entered here, obtained treasures worth hundreds of thousands in the First Layer.

Jing Yan and Ye Hai were both hired as assistants by Die Dong, so since the employer said to go directly to the Second Layer, the two had no objections.

While rushing forward, they encountered four more Divine Rune Trees before reaching the Second Layer entrance, all of which they ignored. None of these Divine Rune Tree-covered treasures immediately appeared to be of exceedingly high value, so Die Dong abandoned them all.

”Attack this Divine Rune Tree!”

”Once we break it, we can enter the Second Layer.”

Before Jing Yan and the others, a taller Divine Rune Tree blocked the way. If they didn’t break this Divine Rune Tree, they wouldn’t be able to move from the First Layer to the Second Layer.

Without any wasted words, the three empowered themselves with divine power to attack the Divine Rune Tree before them. This Divine Rune Tree was evidently more defensively capable than those previously broken. After several hours of continuous attacks, they finally caused visible damage to it.

”Jing Yan, I know how strong you are.” Die Dong seemed a bit impatient, glancing at Jing Yan during the attack on the Divine Rune Tree.

The implication was that Jing Yan wasn’t giving his all.

”What does Daoist Die Dong mean by this?” Jing Yan asked.

”Hmph, aren’t you a member of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace? Hongmeng Dao Pattern isn’t something just anyone can cultivate. You’re attacking the Divine Rune Tree without even using the Hongmeng Dao Pattern, do you take me for a fool?” Die Dong sneered.

Hearing them talk, Ye Hai was shocked.

Hongjun Heavenly Palace?

That is an Ultimate Force on par with the Void Divine Hall. Jing Yan is also a member of an Ultimate Force?

Ye Hai looked at Jing Yan in disbelief.

The three were attacking the Divine Rune Tree, and from the surface, it was hard to tell whose destructive power was greater. However, Ye Hai, a fairly powerful life form in the Fifth Step Dao Method Realm, was clear that Jing Yan’s attack power was far superior to his own. Yet even so, the Void Son Die Dong still thought Jing Yan was not using his full strength.

”Jing Yan, you shouldn’t hold back. Let me put it this way, if I get satisfactory treasures upon entering the Second Layer, I don’t mind sharing some with you. Second Layer treasures are worth at least tens of thousands of Star Stones!” Die Dong added.

Evidently, he didn’t want to fall out with Jing Yan. Even if he wanted to teach Jing Yan a lesson, it would have to wait until the treasures were obtained and they were safely out.

”Alright!” Jing Yan nodded.

Actually, Jing Yan wasn’t purposely refraining from using the Hongmeng Dao Pattern; he just... truly didn’t want to reveal all of his strength before Die Dong. Die Dong is a Void Son.

Senior Brother He Jiu had advised Jing Yan to be wary of Void Sons.

Jing Yan didn’t trust Die Dong and was concerned that Die Dong might have ill intentions towards him, so he hadn’t used the Hongmeng Dao Pattern. During the attack at the Slaughter God Hall, Jing Yan had used the Hongmeng Dao Pattern to attack Die Dong but hadn’t deployed its full power, only part of it.

Now with Die Dong’s words and after some consideration, Jing Yan felt that since he had accepted the task, it wasn’t right to shirk responsibility. When Jing Yan fully utilized the Hongmeng Dao Pattern from the Fourth Layer, with the Ten Thousand Realms Technique’s inner world power, his destructive power soared.

”This guy... is unexpectedly this strong!” Die Dong felt slightly shocked after perceiving Jing Yan’s destructive power.

He realized that Jing Yan’s power was much greater than he had imagined. The key point was that Jing Yan hadn’t stepped into the Dao Skill Realm, still being in the Earth Realm. If he did step into the Dao Skill Realm, then Die Dong feared he might not be able to kill Jing Yan.

”Jing Yan... sir, you... your strength is truly impressive!” Ye Hai finally realized how weak he appeared among the three.
