The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1912: Chapter 1912: Entering the Fortress

The dozen or so core members from the Five Lands and Seven Countries all turned their gaze towards Jing Yan.

Although these core members have not yet reached the Controller Level, they are quite well-known in Chaos. Like Wang Quan from the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, although he is a disciple of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, who in the Five Lands and Seven Countries hasn’t heard of Wang Quan?

While Jing Yan’s fame soared after defeating the Void Son Die Dong, he is still a young being who has only recently risen to prominence. In everyone’s impression, he is naturally incomparable to the likes of Wang Quan.

Some people slightly raised the corners of their mouths, saying nothing, but clearly showing a bit of disdain. The Void Son that Jing Yan defeated is merely of the Taoist Realm. In terms of sheer strength, Die Dong is barely comparable to ordinary All Things Realm beings.

Entering the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress this time will undoubtedly involve many fierce battles. Encountering ordinary Golden Body All-Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan is almost unavoidable, and coming across Golden Body Devouring Sky Clan is normal.

How long can Jing Yan last in the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress before needing to use the directional transmission treasure to transport out of the fortress within just a few days?

”Jing Yan, are you sure you want to accept this Seven Rings Slaughter Task?” Pikang Palace Master looked at Jing Yan and asked.

Pikang Palace Master certainly knew Jing Yan had already reached the All Things Realm, having crossed the Second Layer of the Reincarnation Path. Although Jing Yan’s abilities might still be somewhat weak for entering the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress, as long as he doesn’t encounter a Golden Body Devouring Heaven Clan, it shouldn’t be too problematic.

To pass the Second Layer of the Reincarnation Path, one needs to kill an ordinary All Things Realm Devouring Heaven Clan.

”Indeed!” Jing Yan nodded.

”Good!” Pikang Palace Master also nodded.

He waved his arm, and two beams of light swiftly flew toward Jing Yan.

One was a Slaughter Task Token, and the other seemed like something resembling a bracelet. The task token needs no explanation, while the other treasure allows teleportation out of the Devouring Sky Fortress in an extremely short time. This item is invaluable; buying it outside might require over a million Star Stones.

For Pikang Palace Master letting Jing Yan accept this task, outsiders were somewhat surprised, but no one said much.

”Hall Master, I also want to accept this Seven Rings Slaughter Task.” Wang Quan immediately stepped forward.

Soon after, one by one, the core members from the Five Lands and Seven Countries stepped forward to accept this Seven Rings Slaughter Task. Without that transmission treasure, people might have hesitated due to the potential danger. But now that the Western Region Main Hall has provided the transmission treasure, entering the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress means added security. As long as they aren’t killed in an extremely short time, they can use this treasure to teleport out of the fortress.

The Five Ultimate Forces each had two core members of the All Things Realm taking the task. Among the Seven Countries, five countries had one core member each taking the task. The other two countries had no core members present at the Western Region Main Hall.

In total, fifteen people have taken on this Seven Rings Slaughter Task. Except for Jing Yan, the rest are all at the Peak of the All Things Realm.

Everyone received the same items: one task token and one transmission treasure.

”There’s no time to waste; let’s head to the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress now,” Pikang Palace Master said.

”Let’s go!”

”To the fortress.” Everyone in the hall stood up and said.

Only Jing Yan and the other fourteen task-taking All Things Realm beings will enter the fortress. However, these Controller Level powerhouses will also closely approach the fortress and monitor it closely.

Nuwa Palace Master knows the precise location of the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress, so everyone created wormholes. After about a breath’s time, they all arrived outside the fortress.

Looking at the fortress, the faces of those present were solemn.

”Jing Yan, once you enter the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress, you should expect to separate. In the early stage, you will act independently inside the fortress, so be cautious.”

”Also, be wary of the two Void Sons from the Void Divine Hall who entered the fortress. The people from the Void Divine Hall inside the fortress certainly won’t help you; they might even try to deal with you in secret,” Nuwa Palace Master advised Jing Yan through divine thought.

”Rest assured, Lady Nüwa, I’ll be careful,” Jing Yan gratefully responded to Nuwa Palace Master.

”Chenyuan Emperor, shall we let them enter the fortress now?” Pikang Palace Master asked Chenyuan Emperor.

Chenyuan Emperor clearly had the highest strength among those present. Of course, Chenyuan Emperor also held the highest status. Among the highest leaders of the Five Lands and Seven Countries, only Chenyuan Emperor was present at that time.

”The command of this operation is with you, Pikang Palace Master. I won’t interfere. I’m here to assist; if you need anything from me, I’ll step in,” Chenyuan Emperor said with a laugh.

”Alright.” Pikang Palace Master nodded.

”Everyone, you may now enter the fortress. Remember, when encountering danger, activate your transmission treasure immediately,” Pikang Palace Master said with a wave of his hand.

”Whsh whsh whsh...”

Jing Yan and the Fifteen core members from the Five Lands and Seven Countries flew swiftly toward the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress.

The Devouring Sky Clan Fortress is not entirely sealed. If it were, it would isolate everything, which isn’t feasible because the fortress needs to absorb energy.

Simply put, the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress has energy gaps. But Controller Level Chaos creatures cannot pass through these energy gaps. Only chaos creatures below the Controller Level can pass through into the fortress.

”Jing Yan, after we enter the fortress, each of us will be separated. Then, we will use the Identity Token to communicate and find a way to regroup,” Wang Quan said to Jing Yan.

The Identity Token of Hongjun Heavenly Palace has the function of communication.

”Alright.” Jing Yan responded to Wang Quan.

A dozen figures quickly reached near the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress.

As they continued to approach the fortress, they could clearly feel energy resistance. Surrounding the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress is an invisible layer of energy. This energy layer is visible to the naked eye, but also cannot be detected with divine thought. To enter the fortress, they must first pass through this energy layer.

All fifteen people moved slowly, and contacting this layer of energy outside the fortress felt like sinking into a quagmire, making it hard to move quickly.

Beings of the Controller Level cannot pass through this layer of energy.

After taking more than a dozen breaths of time, these fifteen core members of the Five Lands and Seven Countries finally passed through the energy layer, their figures disappearing as a result. Jing Yan’s figure also vanished from the sight of Nuwa Palace Master, Pikang Palace Master, and others.

”I hope all fifteen of them can come out safely,” Pikang Palace Master said in a low voice after taking a light breath.
