The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1956: Chapter 1956: Hongmeng Dao Pattern Breakthrough

This battle had its outcome decided from the very start.

The Devouring Sky Clan Creatures here simply couldn’t pose any threat to Jing Yan. They wanted to attack, but it was hard for them to even get close to him. They wanted to run, but with the Time-Space Chain sealing the area, Jing Yan could easily chase them down.

In the end, all one hundred and ten plus All Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan Creatures were slaughtered. Even among those below the All Things Realm, very few managed to escape.

After the battle ended, Jing Yan didn’t delay at all. Divine Power erupted as he began on the bodies of the Devouring Sky Clan Creatures.

Their Physical Bodies were extremely tough and their defenses powerful, but even when they were alive they couldn’t block Jing Yan’s Sword Light, let alone now that they were dead and without energy to support their flesh—its toughness was less than a tenth of what it had been.

”So many!”

”So many resources!”

”Hahaha... even those Earth Realm Devouring Sky Clan Creatures had quite a lot of resources stored in their bellies.”

”No, there are too many corpses. I’m afraid I don’t have enough time to cut them all open one by one.” Jing Yan’s eyes shone, his spirit exhilarated.

He cut open several Devouring Sky Clan corpses in succession, and in every single one he found a massive amount of resources.

”I’ll just take all these corpses away first!” Jing Yan’s thoughts turned.

Then he waved his arm, transferring all the Devouring Sky Clan corpses into his Qiankun World.

During such a great battle, the Devouring Sky Clan Creatures would definitely have reported the information to the higher-ups of the Devouring Heaven Clan. It was very possible that a Controller Level Devouring Sky Clan Creature was already rushing over. If Jing Yan stayed here to harvest resources and waited until a Controller Level Devouring Sky Clan Creature arrived, it would be much harder for him to leave.

Putting the corpses away was just a matter of a single thought. After he had placed all the Devouring Sky Clan corpses into the Qiankun World, Jing Yan flashed away, activating the Void Path to leave.

Sure enough, just as Jing Yan had left with his front foot, a Devouring Sky Clan Creature with a massive golden body laced with red light arrived here.

Seeing the devastation all over the ground, he let out an ear-splitting roar.

Although there weren’t many Devouring Heaven Clan corpses left on this battlefield, the traces of combat were still extremely obvious. This Devouring Sky Clan Marshal immediately understood what had happened. The Devouring Sky Clan Creatures here were a transport team, all of them carrying large amounts of resources in their bodies. Their corpses had been taken away for one reason only: the Chaos Creatures that killed them had discovered those stored resources.

”Bastard!”

”Damn Chaos Creatures, stealing my Devouring Heaven Clan’s resources—I’ll definitely eat you alive!” This Devouring Sky Clan Marshal was incomparably furious.

Not long after, multiple Golden Body All Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan Creatures arrived as well.

The Marshal immediately issued orders to search for traces of the Chaos Creatures that had entered this fortress, and at the same time to scout outside the fortress to see if there were more Chaos Creatures nearby.

Under normal circumstances, no Chaos Creatures should’ve been able to enter this fortress. It was hidden inside a very secret Stacked Space, and Chaos Creatures almost couldn’t possibly discover where that Stacked Space was. But now, in reality, Chaos Creatures had indeed come in. They had to figure out whether that Chaos Creature had stumbled in by accident or whether a large number of Chaos Creatures had come.

This Marshal then returned. News of Chaos Creatures appearing inside the fortress was no trivial matter; he had to inform the other Marshals and also report to the Mother. If a Title Controller Chaos Creature had really discovered this place, then the Mother needed to be ready to leave at any time.

There were only a few Heaven Devouring Clan Mothers; losing even one was something the Devouring Heaven Clan could not accept. If one Mother was lost, the number of Devouring Sky Clan Creatures that could be born would greatly decrease.

Within this race, the Heaven Devouring Clan Mother’s status was supreme. Even Marshal Level Devouring Sky Clan Creatures wouldn’t dare to show the slightest disobedience before a Mother. One could say that within the Devouring Heaven Clan, the Mother’s orders were above everything. Whether Marshal or General or otherwise, they all carried out the Mother’s commands to the letter. Even if the Mother ordered them to die, they wouldn’t hesitate or waver.

After leaving the battlefield, Jing Yan found a hidden place, used the Fate Dao to Concealment his aura, and entered the Qiankun World.

”Haha...”

”Let’s see how many resources I got this time.” Jing Yan was full of anticipation.

He took out the Ice Flame Sword and quickly sliced open one Devouring Sky Clan corpse after another, piling the resources stored inside separately to the side. Jing Yan moved very fast; in less than thirty minutes, he had collected all the resources. After that, he even checked again to see if anything had been missed. Once he confirmed there were no omissions, he started counting the resources.

”Satisfying!”

”This Devouring Heaven Clan transport team was really moving a lot of resources!”

”Tsk tsk, just the Star Stones... there are over three million! Where exactly did they get so many Star Stones from?”

Over three million Star Stones were worth more than ten million Slaughter Points, which was definitely not a small amount.

Of course, compared to other resources, Star Stones were actually nothing much. All sorts of mineral resources were simply innumerable; even Jing Yan spent quite some time to finish tallying them. Among these resources, many were exactly what he needed to cultivate the Ancient Tree Inheritance and the Hongmeng Dao Pattern.

When the Devouring Heaven Clan collected resources, they didn’t target specific types. Anything containing energy, they took. High-value items they wanted, and low-value ones they didn’t despise either.

”I’ll cultivate for a while first!”

Jing Yan took out some of the resources needed to cultivate the Hongmeng Dao Pattern and some Star Stones, then sat down cross-legged.

His Hongmeng Dao Pattern had already reached the limit of the Fifth Level; what he lacked for a breakthrough was precisely the corresponding resources. Now, with this batch of resources, breaking through the Hongmeng Dao Pattern was no longer difficult.

After a massive amount of resources was absorbed—

”Boom!” Jing Yan’s mind trembled slightly.

Under the guidance of his powerful Divine Soul Body, the Hongmeng Dao Pattern, the Palace Secret Method of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, naturally broke through.

The Fifth Level Hongmeng Dao Pattern advanced to the Sixth Layer.

Jing Yan opened his previously closed eyes, his aura subtly condensing. He spread his palm, and strands of golden Divine Pattern condensed out. A large number of golden Divine Patterns quickly formed a Yin Yang Taiji Pattern.

A vast wave of Power spread out from the Pattern.

”Strong!”

”From the Fifth Level to the Sixth Layer is just a single-level breakthrough, but the might has been greatly enhanced. Let me see... mm, just speaking of the Hongmeng Dao Pattern as a Secret Technique, its Power has almost doubled. If I count it as part of my overall strength, it’s roughly a thirty percent increase in my Combat Power.”

”And this is only from the Fifth Level to the Sixth Layer. If it goes from the Sixth Layer to the seventh layer... that will probably be a qualitative change. Once I master the seventh layer, it’ll be the High-level Hongmeng Dao Pattern.” Jing Yan was very satisfied with the boost in the Hongmeng Dao Pattern’s Power.

He closed his hand into a fist, and the golden Divine Pattern Taiji Pattern slowly dissipated in front of him.
