The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2067: Complete Invisibility

The defense structure of the Four Domains General Hall of the Slaughter God Temple is quite similar, consisting of inner, middle, and outer defense circles. The inner defense circle offers the strongest protection, while the outer defense circle is the weakest. Nevertheless, even the weakest outer defense circle is a result of the painstaking efforts of numerous array masters, formed by merging formations.

However, the outer defense circle of the Western Region Main Hall has been breached unknowingly.

Even Jing Yan furrowed his brows, staring at the image produced by the monitoring formation.

The tide of Devouring Sky Clan creatures surged towards the middle defense circle of the Western Region Main Hall.

”That is...” Jing Yan’s gaze focused on a slightly distorted space.

At first glance, that space seems no different from other voids, but Jing Yan noticed subtle differences.

”Something’s not right; there must be something hiding there. A Devouring Sky Clan Fortress? But if it’s a Devouring Sky Clan Fortress, given this small distance, even if Divine Thought cannot probe it, it should be visible to the naked eye.” Jing Yan frowned.

”Not good! The Devouring Sky Clan creatures are probably planning for the final battle in this Western Region Main Hall area!” Jing Yan’s thoughts raced.

Immediately afterward, he sent messages to Ma Yi Ancestor, Du Ya Ancestor, and Gu Mie, these three Title Controllers, instructing them to proceed to the Western Region Main Hall at once. Jing Yan also requested the Boundaryless Spirit Mountain, Luoshui Divine Palace, and Wansheng Valley, these three Ultimate Forces, to prepare for reinforcements at any moment.

Upon receiving Jing Yan’s orders, Yihua Palace Master and others also promptly relayed orders to prepare. Actually, there’s not much to prepare for during the final battle, as even most Chaos Countries are constantly preparing for war.

”Lord Taoist, the Devouring Sky Clan army is attacking the middle defense circle, should we launch a counter-attack to intercept them?” Nuwa Palace Master asked after Jing Yan finished sending messages.

Jing Yan shook his head, ”Nuwa Palace Master, let’s prepare for the final battle! The last frenzy of the Devouring Sky Clan is likely upon us.”

”Hmm?” Nuwa Palace Master looked at Jing Yan in surprise.

The silent breach of the outer defense circle is indeed puzzling, and the number of Devouring Sky Clan creatures charging towards the second-layer defense circle is also abundant. However, the number of Chaos creatures defending the Western Region Main Hall is likewise high, and they are all relatively powerful beings. A proactive strike could seemingly defeat the outside Devouring Sky Clan creatures effortlessly.

Why did Jing Yan Daoist suggest the final frenzy of the Devouring Sky Clan creatures was impending?

”Nuwa Palace Master, the Hongjun Heavenly Palace guards the Western Region Main Hall, and as far as the monitoring area is concerned, they have done their utmost to probe the traces of the Devouring Sky Clan. However, these Devouring Sky Clan creatures appeared near the outer defense circle suddenly. Don’t you find it peculiar?” Jing Yan said.

Initially, Jing Yan also thought Hongjun Heavenly Palace was negligent. But now it seems the matter is not that simple. The tactics of the Devouring Sky Clan are not entirely understood by Chaos creatures. Or perhaps, the current Devouring Sky Clan creatures have acquired new methods never seen before.

”It is indeed difficult to explain.” Nuwa Palace Master nodded.

”If my judgment is correct, the last Devouring Sky Clan fortress is outside the middle defense circle of the Western Region Main Hall.” Jing Yan continued.

”What?” Nuwa Palace Master was truly shocked this time.

Everyone present was in disbelief, staring at Jing Yan. The last Devouring Sky Clan fortress is outside the middle defense circle of the Western Region Main Hall—how is this possible? If there were a Devouring Sky Clan fortress outside, wouldn’t they be able to see it?

”Inside this fortress, I suspect it holds all the Mothers, the top combat forces of the Devouring Sky Clan within this Chaos. Hence, this battle should represent the last frenzy of the Devouring Sky Clan creatures.” Jing Yan continued speaking, ”Therefore, this battle should also signify the final madness of the Devouring Sky Clan creatures.”

Just as Jing Yan’s words fell, Ma Yi Ancestor and other Title Controllers successively entered the Western Region Main Hall. Before they entered the building, they also saw the outside situation.

”Lord Taoist, the Devouring Sky Clan creatures have already reached the middle defense circle; why are we only getting the message now?” Ma Yi Ancestor asked, frowning.

Du Ya Ancestor and Gu Mie also looked at Jing Yan and Nuwa Palace Master.

If it weren’t for Jing Yan’s reputation, they might directly demand an explanation from Nuwa Palace Master on how she managed to guard the Western Region Main Hall.

”Three Daoists, this matter truly cannot blame Nuwa Palace Master or Hongjun Heavenly Palace for inadequate monitoring.” Jing Yan replied with a smile.

”Wait for a moment; soon you will understand why the Western Region Main Hall couldn’t detect the Devouring Sky Clan creatures in advance.” As Jing Yan spoke, his figure flashed out of the building into the Chaos Void outside.

”What is Lord Taoist doing?”

”Jing Yan Daoist said we will soon understand...”

Ma Yi Ancestor and others were puzzled but quickly followed Jing Yan, flashing out of the building. Once they reached the void above the Western Region Main Hall, they saw Jing Yan wielding the Ice Flame Sword, a magnificent Sword Light crossing the void, striking forward.

These Title Controllers exchanged glances, uncertain of Jing Yan Daoist’s intentions. This sword’s Power was vast, containing terrifying Attack Power, yet ahead lay only a void without even ordinary Devouring Sky Clan creatures. What’s the point of Jing Yan Daoist expending Divine Power to wield this sword?

But soon, their confusion turned to shock.

As the Sword Light swiftly traversed near the middle defense circle, it seemed to collide with something unmovable. The Sword Light couldn’t proceed further. The void in contact with the Sword Light rippled and waved with layers of black ripples and patterns. A blurred outline entered the sight of Ma Yi Ancestor and others.

”What’s going on?”

”That seems to be a Devouring Sky Clan fortress!”

”But... how has the Devouring Sky Clan fortress turned into this form? We’re so close, yet we cannot see the Devouring Sky Clan fortress?”

”Judging by the outline, it is indeed a Devouring Sky Clan fortress, but unlike any we’ve seen before. This fortress seems fully integrated into the void, undetectable by either Title Controllers or by Divine Thought or eyesight.” They exchanged rapid dialogue.

”Understood, now it’s clear why Jing Yan Daoist said the Western Region Main Hall wasn’t responsible for not detecting the Devouring Sky Clan creatures in advance.”

”That’s right! Such a Devouring Sky Clan fortress is beyond detection even by us, the old folks standing there!” Ma Yi and others cast apologetic glances at Nuwa Palace Master.

”Indeed... indeed it’s concealed a Devouring Sky Clan fortress, likely the last fortress within this Chaos.” Jing Yan stared at the fortress outline ahead.
