The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 918: Chapter 918: The End of the 3 Major Powers

These three sword lights all contain Sword Intent Divine Ability.

Even Yin Shui, a top-notch Half-step Void God, could not withstand such sword light, let alone Dong Ze and the other two. Amidst their wails, the energy shield of their Defense Holy Artifacts was destroyed by the sword light, and they fell on the spot.

They probably never imagined that they would die here.

After collecting the resources left by the three, Jing Yan turned back and charged towards the Saint Realm martial artists gathered by the three major forces.

The faces of these Saint Realm martial artists were ashen.

Under the onslaught of the puppets led by the Second and Mr. Zhong, the original seventy-four Saint Realm martial artists had already lost six or seven. Although the puppets had returned to their normal forms, their bodies were extremely tough, impervious to any level of attack, so these dozens of Saint Realm martial artists had no way to deal with them in such a short time.

When Jing Yan killed Yin Shui, they had already lost the will to fight. Now, with the clan leaders and sect masters of the three major forces being taken down, they had even less inclination to stay and continue fighting the Chu Family. Especially upon seeing the death god Jing Yan charging towards them, their previously orderly formation fell into chaos instantly.

Someone took the lead and started to flee.

With the first one escaping, there was a second and a third. In a very short time, the nearly seventy surviving Saint Realm martial artists were in complete disarray.

The formation disintegrated, and the previously somewhat stable defense disappeared.

Under the pursuit of the puppets led by the Second, Saint Realm martial artists were continuously being killed.

Jing Yan, like a fierce tiger among a flock of sheep, swept out with his longsword, killing at least one Saint Realm martial artist with each strike. Whether in the First Stage or Third Stage of the Saint Realm, no one could stop Jing Yan’s sword.

Bodies fell from the sky one after another, or were directly turned into nothingness in the void.

Jing Yan felt no pity for these dead Saint Realm martial artists. Their enmity was established when they fought for the three major forces.

This is war!

If Jing Yan were at a disadvantage today, they would certainly not spare Jing Yan and the entire Chu Family.

Chu Hongnan also manipulated the warship, continuously activating its power to target and kill some fleeing enemy Saint Realm martial artists.

A few dozen breaths’ time passed.

The sounds of battle in the void gradually subsided.

Of the more than seventy Saint Realm martial artists from the three major forces, over ninety percent were dead. Less than ten percent managed to escape, with only a few individuals successfully breaking away from the battle zone and disappearing into the distant sky. As for the more than ten martial artists in the Third Stage of the Saint Realm, none managed to escape.

Jing Yan had deliberately pursued those in the Third Stage of the Saint Realm. Whether the First or Second Stage, even if they escaped, they would not pose a threat to the Chu Family.

Seeing the end of this scene.

The numerous martial artists around the negotiation ground felt chills all over, their faces pale.

Every single person had the same thought in mind: the three first-grade forces were doomed. From today onwards, the Netherworld Sect of the Quicksand Divine Domain, the Ten Thousand Sword Sect of the Flame God Domain, and the Fang Family of the Tianxia Divine Domain would decline.

Even if their headquarters were still intact.

But the Saint Realm martial artists of these three forces were nearly wiped out. Those remaining in their headquarters were only a scant three to five, and none were in the Third Stage of the Saint Realm.

A force lacking Saint Realm martial artists and without any in the Third Stage of the Saint Realm could not hope to establish itself in the Five Divine Domains. Even if Jing Yan did not continue to act against the three major forces, many other forces would.

When the news of the events that transpired at the negotiation ground in the Chaotic Land reached the headquarters of the three major forces, turbulence and slaughter would likely soon follow. Perhaps only the Netherworld Sect would fare slightly better, as it was a force of the Quicksand Divine Domain, sharing the same domain with the Chu Family. Those forces eyeing the Netherworld Sect for plunder would likely think twice due to the Chu Family.

The Netherworld Sect now clearly seemed like a mere object in the Chu Family’s grasp! Would the Chu Family be willing to watch as others devoured the fat they held?

”Brother Sheng Jing, let’s go!” Liu Weihai said quietly to Sheng Jing.

Sheng Jing narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

”It’s still better to go over and greet them!” Sheng Jing lowered his voice.

”But...” Liu Haiwei was somewhat fearful, worried that Jing Yan might sweep them away as well.

”If Jing Yan wants to act against us, do you think we can stop him even if we return to our headquarters?” Sheng Jing smiled bitterly.

The combined strength of their two first-grade forces would not surpass that of the already nearly destroyed three major forces.

”Brother Sheng Jing is right,” Liu Haiwei sighed and nodded.

Sheng Jing’s assessment was absolutely correct. Even if they returned to their respective headquarters, if Jing Yan decided to eradicate all five first-grade forces in one go, they would be powerless to stop him. The half-step Void God aiding them yielded the same result; Yin Shui, a top-notch half-step Void God, had already fallen.

Liu Haiwei and Sheng Jing stepped forward.

Jing Yan hovered in the void, watching the Chu Family members clean up the battlefield.

”Lord Jing Yan!” The two approached and bowed in greeting.

Jing Yan’s gaze swept over the two, who did not dare to lift their heads.

In a world where strength rules, even the proudest heads must bow before the powerful.

”Patriarch Liu, Sect Master Sheng, do you have any thoughts?” Jing Yan said in an indifferent tone.

”Not at all, not at all!” The two hurriedly waved their hands in panic.

Previously, Sheng Jing did have ideas, speculating that Jing Yan had uncovered the Qiankun Ring, thus coveting it. But now, such thoughts had long vanished.

”Return to the Lan Ning and Eight Dragon Divine Domains and stay in your territories. I won’t come to these domains to trouble you.” Jing Yan naturally saw through their worries.

The meaning was clear.

As long as these forces stayed within their territories, Jing Yan would not move against them. But if they dared to have other ideas, dared to encroach on Chu Family or Jing Yan’s interests, they could blame no one but themselves.

Liu Haiwei and Sheng Jing quickly understood Jing Yan’s meaning.

”Thank you, Lord Jing Yan!”

The two thanked him while sighing in relief.

”Jing Yan, the battlefield has been cleaned, and all the spoils are here.” Chu Hongnan approached, presenting a pile of various Holy Artifacts and Sumeru Rings to Jing Yan.

”These things are of little use to me. Patriarch Chu, keep them.” Jing Yan glanced at them, his Divine Thought passing over all the resources, including those within the Sumeru Rings, before speaking.

”Greetings, Patriarch Chu!” Sheng Jing and Liu Haiwei both greeted Chu Hongnan.

Previously, such gestures to Chu Hongnan would have been impossible. They were leaders of first-grade forces, themselves in the Third Stage of the Saint Realm, while Chu Hongnan was the clan leader of a second-grade force, only in the Second Stage of the Saint Realm. The disparity in status and position was significant.

But at this moment, their demeanor was extremely humble.
