The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1869: Chapter 1869: The Great Emperor Descends

Chenyuan Emperor’s hearty laughter echoed through the palace, spreading throughout the entire residence.

The many guards, maids, and other personnel within the residence were all stunned upon hearing the Emperor’s laughter.

”What’s happening?”

”Is that the Emperor’s laughter?”

”The Emperor... is actually laughing out loud? I’ve been in this residence for eons and have never heard the Emperor laugh before.”

”...”

Countless personnel in the residence were startled by Chenyuan Emperor’s laughter. They seemed to have never heard the Emperor laugh before. The Chenyuan Emperor was an extremely serious and stern figure, never one to laugh.

So what happened today?

The Chenyuan Emperor continued observing the scene inside the palace.

”Huh?”

”What is that fool Hu Changzai trying to do?”

”Hmph!” Chenyuan Emperor’s breath tightened, and he waved his broad sleeve.

A black fissure appeared inside the great hall. Chenyuan Emperor’s figure flickered and disappeared into the black fissure.

...

Jing Yan made a move against Lou Biao, and Hu Changzai tried to stop him, but he failed!

He was affected by Jing Yan’s gravity magic, watching helplessly as Lou Biao was cut down, his Divine Soul destroyed. By the time he broke free from the gravity magic, Lou Biao had already been killed.

Hu Changzai was a bit dumbfounded.

This person named Jing Yan, in his presence, had obliterated the All Things Realm being, Lou Biao.

Yet this time, Hu Changzai’s anger wasn’t as intense as before. Because he saw the golden Hongmeng Dao Pattern in Jing Yan’s attack.

Within the Endless Chaos, there are very few who cultivate the Hongmeng Dao Pattern, but among the beings who have seen it, there are quite a few. Hu Changzai, a mid-stage of Everything Realm strong practitioner, had also seen the Hongmeng Dao Pattern before.

When he saw the Hongmeng Dao Pattern displayed in Jing Yan’s annihilation of Lou Biao, he realized that Jing Yan indeed had a significant background, namely the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, one of the Five Ultimate Forces.

No wonder! No wonder this Jing Yan didn’t care about Die Dong’s identity as Void Son. Knowing Die Dong was the Void Son of the Void Divine Hall, he still killed him, not even sparing the Divine Soul Body.

But after realizing Jing Yan’s identity, Hu Changzai felt even more troubled. The Void Son of the Void Divine Hall was killed, and the perpetrator was a member of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace. How was he supposed to handle this? It seemed that no matter what he did, he would offend an Ultimate Force.

Yet Hu Changzai couldn’t just let Jing Yan go. This matter was too serious for him to handle on his own.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, are you... from the Hongjun Heavenly Palace?” Hu Changzai’s tone softened a bit.

Earlier, Hu Changzai had only caught a glimpse of the final moment when Jing Yan faced off against Die Dong, the scene where Die Dong’s Divine Soul Body was destroyed, which is why he didn’t know Jing Yan wielded the Hongmeng Dao Pattern, indicating he was a member of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

”Does it matter?” Jing Yan smiled slightly.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, I won’t beat around the bush. Killing Lou Biao isn’t that severe; although he was a member of the Void Divine Hall, he was just an ordinary member. The Void Divine Hall wouldn’t mind losing a few. But Die Dong, being a Void Son, the Void Divine Hall will not rest until they take action. You must stay here and can’t leave the Changshan Continent.” Hu Changzai slowly stated in a low voice.

”I’m afraid that’s not possible!” Jing Yan shook his head.

Stay here?

Stay here and wait for the senior members of the Void Divine Hall to suppress or kill me?

When Jing Yan made a move against Die Dong, he had already thought of many scenarios. He planned to finish Die Dong off and then leave Changshan Continent and the Shelun Country Boundary Domain with the Primordial Chaos Hole. The Endless Chaos is vast and boundless; at worst, they could avoid using the Super Transmission Array. It would be difficult for the Void Divine Hall to find him. Jing Yan, mastering the Fate Dao, had considerable ability to avoid pursuit.

Therefore, when Hu Changzai wanted Jing Yan to stay, Jing Yan naturally wouldn’t agree. Stay and wait for death?

But this City Lord Hu Changzai of the Changshan Continent didn’t seem to want Jing Yan to leave. So, there might be another battle to see how strong a mid-stage of Everything Realm practitioner truly is.

”If Fellow Daoist Jing Yan refuses to cooperate, then I’ll have to take action!” Hu Changzai’s expression changed, and his divine power began surging again.

”Hiss~”

At this moment!

A rift suddenly appeared in the sky above. Jing Yan and the other beings sensed the presence of the rift immediately. The rift didn’t seem very large, but its vast power enveloped the entire city surroundings.

Jing Yan’s expression changed.

That rift certainly wasn’t created by him. This meant it was likely that a powerful being had directly torn through the chaotic space to arrive.

Who could it be?

An existence capable of tearing through chaotic space to travel must be someone Jing Yan knew he couldn’t contend with. Jing Yan was well aware of this.

”I’m finished!”

”Could it be a strong practitioner from the Void Divine Hall?”

”Damn, how could they get here so quickly? Shelun Country isn’t even under Void Divine Hall’s control. Even if a strong practitioner from the Void Divine Hall came, they shouldn’t be able to tear through Shelun Country’s chaos space so effortlessly!” Jing Yan’s heart was pounding.

A towering figure descended from the rift, and then the black rift quickly healed.

Hu Changzai, seeing the newcomer, shuddered all over, then fell to his knees directly.

”Great Emperor!” Hu Changzai called out with his head lowered.

And the countless beings at a distance, seeing this towering figure, first trembled and then all bowed down on the spot.

”Great Emperor?” Jing Yan’s mind stirred upon hearing Hu Changzai’s cry.

”Chenyuan Emperor?” Jing Yan realized that the newcomer was the ruler of Shelun Country, Chenyuan Emperor.

Behind Jing Yan, when the Primordial Chaos Hole and others saw the newcomer, they too knelt down. Those in the Primordial Chaos Hole had stayed in Shelun Country for a long time; they hadn’t seen the true form of Chenyuan Emperor, but they had definitely seen portraits. They recognized Chenyuan Emperor upon his appearance.

The towering figure swiftly descended to the ground, not far from Jing Yan.

Chenyuan Continent, eyes on Jing Yan.

Jing Yan was in turmoil, unaware of how Chenyuan Emperor would deal with him. The sudden arrival of Chenyuan Emperor was undoubtedly because of him. Otherwise, why would Chenyuan Emperor come to the Changshan Continent without reason? The Changshan Continent was just an ordinary part of the vast chaos continent within Shelun Country’s endless boundary domain.

Could it be that Chenyuan Emperor also didn’t want to offend the Void Divine Hall and intended to suppress him, then hand him over to the Void Divine Hall?

If that were the case, then it would be over! Chenyuan Emperor, a being close to the ultimate strong people, could crush a group like him with a single finger.

At this moment, Hu Changzai was also secretly pondering. He couldn’t imagine that Chenyuan Emperor would personally descend, and in true form too.

”The Void Son’s identity is indeed extraordinary. Even the Great Emperor had to intervene to apprehend Jing Yan, the perpetrator.” Hu Changzai contemplated with his head lowered, not daring to look at Chenyuan Emperor.
