The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2212: Chapter 2212: A Glimmer of Hope

Unavoidable!

Only choice is to face it head-on!

The virtualization technique is activated, the space twists and stretches, reaching the level of defense power of a Nether Sky Realm virtualization technique, which is considered strong. However, the void space shatters directly with a ‘crack’ before even touching the black lotus. The black lotus slowly rotates, carrying a deathly aura, continuing to press towards Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s body was already tense, with purple patterns shimmering all over. The pressure emanating from the black lotus alone already caused Jing Yan’s Divine Power operational to be a bit sluggish and obstructed.

The Black River Heavenly Monarch is too powerful!

Although Jing Yan has merged the Chaos World and has now also recovered to the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm level, Jing Yan’s Chaos World is not literally with him, whereas the Black River Heavenly Monarch has fused with the Outer Heaven Black River, becoming one. Simply put, the Black River Heavenly Monarch’s power at this moment can be compared to Jing Yan inside the Chaos World. Although the Outer Heaven Black River might not be as boundless as a Chaos World, the difference is merely in quantity, not in quality.

“Puff!”

When the black lotus was still several thousand meters, nearly ten thousand meters, from Jing Yan, he already spat out a mouthful of blood, and the purple patterns on his body became even more dazzling.

“This little beast is finally going to die.” Lu Chun thought with great pleasure.

“Die! Die! Haha, this is the end for those who oppose my Mystic Moon Trading House.” Lu Chun grinned viciously, thinking to himself.

Ke Zun and Hong Tao from the Shadow Tower also shook their heads. Even for them, who had some previous friction with Jing Yan, seeing Jing Yan spit blood under the pressure of the Death Lotus evoked some emotion.

As for Ying Tian and Xin Ruikun from the Ancient Land of Morning Light and the Xin Family, their feelings need not be mentioned.

“Sigh! If given some more time, not much, even if just a hundred thousand years, he might be able to preserve his life against the Black River Heavenly Monarch.” Yuantong Immortal Venerable sighed with lament, helpless.

The people of Xin Family wore a mournful expression.

At this moment, the news had already spread around the Yellow Spring Cave. Many Shen Zhou Heavenly Monarchs also knew that Jing Yan and the Black River Heavenly Monarch had a fierce battle inside the Yellow Spring Cave. They could not see the related Law scenes but had heard relatively detailed information about the battle.

Wuxia Heavenly Monarch, feeling gloomy and heartbroken. Considering the life of an Immortal Rhythm Cultivator, for the long years Wuxia Heavenly Monarch had cultivated, the time she spent with Jing Yan was truly short. Yet, inexplicably, she felt a heartache, like a needle piercing into her heart.

Inside the cave, blood continued to flow from the corners of Jing Yan’s mouth.

With the Death Lotus approaching, the pressure Jing Yan endured became increasingly terrifying. At this time, even if it were figures at the leader level of the Four Great Forces standing in Jing Yan’s position, they would have long been reduced to ashes. But Jing Yan still stood, holding the Ice Flame Sword, eyes fixed on the ever-nearing Death Lotus.

The Ancient Tree Inheritance was driven to its limit. The virtualization technique had been utterly destroyed by the Death Lotus.

Occasionally, Jing Yan would swing a Sword Light, but to no avail. The Sword Light shattered instantly upon contacting the Death Lotus, only leaving behind chaotic, incomplete Laws.

At this moment, it seemed he was in an undoubtedly certain-death situation, none of the means could withstand that Death Lotus.

Since Black River Heavenly Monarch told Jing Yan that he indeed killed an Immortal Venerable, he hadn’t spoken again. In fact, at this moment, the Black River Heavenly Monarch was also struggling. He had to expend Heart Power to use the Death Lotus. The longer the Death Lotus lasted, the more Heart Power he consumed. This is why he never easily used the Death Lotus in the true sense.

With Heart Power and Divine Soul Power like one, when the Heart Power is consumed to a certain extent, it too will lead to immediate death and Dao annihilation. The Black River Heavenly Monarch, in black mist form, was desperately controlling the Death Lotus, wanting to quickly crush and obliterate Jing Yan.

“Now!” Jing Yan suddenly roared in his mind.

“Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique!” Jing Yan suddenly slashed a sword in front of him, Sword Light swirling out, that space suddenly contracted.

“Void Shuttling.” Jing Yan’s body moved with difficulty.

Had it not been for the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique altering the spatial properties, Jing Yan wouldn’t have been able to take this step. The pressure of the Death Lotus was too horrifying. Even the Fourth Layer Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique could only change the spatial characteristics for a very short duration, so Jing Yan didn’t have much time.

“Seven Luminaries Technique!” Jing Yan used the Seven Luminaries Technique spell once again.

This spell, the Seven Luminaries Technique, was indeed relatively targeted against the Death Heavenly Monarch, who leaned toward the path of death, with various methods all seething with death aura. The Seven Luminaries Technique pertains to the path of Flames, Flames restrain the dark, deathly, evil aura. If the Seven Luminaries Technique were an Immortal Venerable level spell, then Jing Yan using it against the Black River Heavenly Monarch wouldn’t have been so passive.

“Break!” Jing Yan shouted out loud for the first time, no longer silently screaming in his heart.

His eyes burst with a red glow, unleashing all his Divine Power. Not only Divine Power, but even Divine Soul Power was added to this final strike.

If successful, he has hope to barely survive. If it fails, he would soon die under the Death Lotus.

Jing Yan had no retreat, only this slim chance of survival. He pinned all his hopes on this final blow. This time, it could be said that he exerted more than a hundred percent of his capabilities.

A crack suddenly appeared before Jing Yan.

Seeing the crack appear, Jing Yan immediately dodged into it, disappearing from the area covered by the Dark Heavenly Wheel.

“Hmm?” Black River Heavenly Monarch was slightly stunned.

“Damn!” Then he retracted the extremely terrifying Death Lotus.

He had been maintaining the Dark Heavenly Wheel, covering a realm, of course immediately confirming that Jing Yan disappeared within his Dark Heavenly Wheel.

He had been careless!

He maintained the Death Lotus, with his Heart Power severely depleted, so he had relaxed slightly with his maintenance of the Dark Heavenly Wheel. It was precisely this little bit of relaxation that granted Jing Yan such an opportunity. If he could have managed to not loosen his control over the Dark Heavenly Wheel while using the Death Lotus, then Jing Yan would not have been able to break through the Dark Heavenly Wheel’s blockade. He saw Jing Yan’s certain death under the Death Lotus, and due to the considerable exertion of maintaining the Death Lotus, desired to ease the pressure a bit, but hadn’t expected this to turn into a major issue.

When Jing Yan employed the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique, he still hadn’t realized Jing Yan intended to escape. It wasn’t until the Dark Heavenly Wheel had a crack blasted through that he understood Jing Yan’s intent, but by then it was too late to stop Jing Yan.

“Damn it! Damn it!” Black River Heavenly Monarch was furious beyond compare.

“No matter! No matter! The Yellow Spring Cave isn’t closed yet; how long has it been open? There’s still plenty of time, enough time to catch up. Let’s see where you can hide.” Black River Heavenly Monarch took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, swiveling his sinister eyes, tracking Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Aura.
