The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1776 1776: Kill Nu Zhen While Youʼre At It

The Heaven and Earth Cage is a Chaos Treasure with unmatched power.

Its greatest strength lies not in attack, but in confinement. Once a life is trapped, even a High-level Chaotic Supreme can hardly escape easily.

Of course, the attack capability of the Heaven and Earth Cage is also quite remarkable, as the Dark Energy it contains is highly corrosive. Cultivators below Supremes, even those in the Heavenly Venerate Realm, cannot withstand the corrosion of Dark Energy. As for those below Heavenly Venerates, contact means death.

The Heaven and Earth Cage also has an obvious flaw; it is relatively slow to activate. When confronting an enemy, activating the Heaven and Earth Cage takes a bit of time. In that brief moment, the enemy could react and successfully evade the Cageʼs confinement. Especially during a battle between two similarly cultivated powerhouses, it is even more difficult for one to trap the other using the Heaven and Earth Cage.

Qianyi Supreme activated the Heaven and Earth Cage, enveloping Lady Nu Zhen. In an instant, the Dark Energy surrounded Lady Nu Zhen.

Lady Nu Zhen never expected Qianyi Supreme to ambush her, as she held no suspicion towards Qianyi. So, only when she sensed the surge of Dark Energy did she abruptly realize Qianyiʼs actions. Qianyi was already positioned very close to her, and by the time Lady Nu Zhen realized that Qianyi Supremeʼs target was herself, it was already too late to evade.

”Qianyi, what are you doing?” Lady Nu Zhen shouted angrily.

Lady Nu Zhenʼs arms waved repeatedly, terrifying energy fluctuations surging, with dazzling Divine Patterns emitting brilliant light, piercing through the Dark Energy of the Heaven and Earth Cage. Yet, these Dark Energies could not be dispelled.

One could see the Dark Energy of the Heaven and Earth Cage forming countless black chains. Numerous chains covered Lady Nu Zhenʼs body, entangling her densely.

”Lady Nu Zhen, Iʼm truly sorry. This Jing Yan must die!” A cold killing intent surfaced on Qianyiʼs face.

”Qianyi, how dare you betray Lady Nu Zhen?” Fuqu Supreme also fulminated with anger, shouting angrily.

”Qianyi, you despicable villain, I truly misjudged you!” Shiyang Supreme yelled out loudly.

”Hmph, who are you to scold me?” Qianyiʼs gaze swept towards Fuqu and Shiyang Supreme.

”Haha, Qianyi, well done! Without you, we really wouldnʼt have much of a method to deal with Nu Zhen.” Across from them, Jin Haiwang laughed heartily and said.

Qianyi glanced at Jin Haiwang but did not respond.

In fact, Qianyi and Jin Haiwang had always had a poor relationship. In the Chaos Universe, the two had opposed each other for a long time. For this reason, it was hard to imagine Qianyi colluding with Jin Haiwang. Even Lady Nu Zhen never thought such a possibility existed. If Lady Nu Zhen had been guarded against Qianyi, then Qianyiʼs use of the Heaven and Earth Cage to ambush Lady Nu Zhen would likely have been ineffective.

However, realizing all of this now is already too late. Lady Nu Zhen is trapped by the Heaven and Earth Cage and cannot break free in a short time.

”Qianyi, why are you doing this?” Jing Yan stared intently at Qianyi.

Jing Yan believed he had never had any direct conflict with Qianyi.

Upon hearing Jing Yanʼs voice, Qianyi shifted his gaze to Jing Yan, a sinister smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

”Jing Yan, youʼre too naive. Inside the Chaos Universe, more than just Jin Haiwang and Blue Entropy Palace Master want you dead. I, Qianyi, also want you dead. In fact, for a long time, Iʼve wanted to kill you. Itʼs only out of respect for Lady Nu Zhen that I havenʼt made a move. I never expected that in such a short time, youʼd grow to have the power of a High-level Supreme, which made me feel unsure about killing you.” Qianyi said slowly.

”Not long ago, Jin Haiwang contacted me. Haha, he wanted my help once. Of course, he also offered many things in return. I didnʼt hesitate much before agreeing. Killing you and gaining extra benefits, whatʼs not to like?” Qianyi said, laughing as he spoke.

”Jing Yan, donʼt resist stubbornly. The current situation, you should clearly understand the outcome. With Nu Zhen already restrained, you only have Fuqu and Shiyang left to help you. Moreover, Fuqu and Shiyang Supremes may not even help you, considering this will be a grossly uneven battle.”

”Shiyang Supreme, Fuqu Supreme, what do you think? Are you really planning to continue helping Jing Yan? You must realize that you will be facing six High-level Supremes. Especially you, Shiyang Supreme, your expertise lies in Array Dao. In terms of combat ability, youʼre somewhat lacking.” Qianyi then looked at Shiyang and Fuqu, advising them not to help Jing Yan any further.

”Qianyi, Iʼm not as despicable as you!” Shiyang Supreme immediately said, ”Even if Iʼm weaker in direct combat, I wonʼt fear you!”

”If thereʼs a fight, then letʼs fight; stop talking nonsense!” Fuqu Supreme also spoke, battle intent soaring.

Both of them remained unchanged in their decisions; they still decided to continue helping Jing Yan.

”You should leave now.” Lady Nu Zhen transmitted to Jing Yan and the other two: ”The binding power of the Heaven and Earth Cage is too strong; I cannot break free in a short time. If a battle breaks out, I wonʼt be able to assist you. The three of you will be facing six High-level Chaotic Supremes. Go, quickly go!”

Lady Nu Zhenʼs transmitted message was filled with urgency.

”Everyone, now that Nu Zhen is already bound by the Heaven and Earth Cage, killing her will be much easier. If we seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and eliminate her as well, what do you all think?” Jin Haiwangʼs narrowed eyes were filled with ferocious light as he addressed Blue Entropy and the other Supremes.

Blue Entropy and the othersʼ eyes flickered, evidently interested in Jin Haiwangʼs proposal.

”Such an opportunity is indeed rare. Missing it will make it much harder to find another. Furthermore, after killing Jing Yan today, Nu Zhen will certainly bear an eternal grudge against us. If she survives, weʼll have to be cautious in the future, as the Shadowless God Slaying Needle isnʼt easy to dodge.” Blue Entropy said in a neutral tone.

His words made it quite clear; he fully supports taking this opportunity to kill Lady Nu Zhen as well.

”Jin Haiwang, I agreed to help you kill Jing Yan, but I didnʼt agree to help kill Lady Nu Zhen.” Qianyi stated.

”Haha… Qianyi, killing one is killing; killing two is also killing. Do you think Nu Zhen will forgive your betrayal? Well, after killing her, how about you take half of the resources she has on her?” Jin Haiwang promptly suggested with a smile.

Qianyi pondered slightly.

”In that case, itʼs indeed a good proposal.” Qianyi looked at Nu Zhen.

Lady Nu Zhen is one of the wealthiest High-level Supremes in the Chaos Universe. The resources she possesses are beyond what even Qianyi and other High-level Supremes can estimate.
