The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1525: Chapter 1425: Acting Recklessly

In the Great Cataclysmic War six hundred million years ago, the entire universe’s human race suffered heavy losses. Not only did humans from the Nine Great Divine Realms participate in that war, but some powerful individuals from single worlds also directly joined in.

Even though the single worlds were created by Supreme Heavenly Venerates, they could continue functioning even if all the Nine Great Divine Realms were destroyed. However, the Nine Great Divine Realms hold extraordinary significance for humanity; they are the foundation and cradle of the human race.

Even the earliest Heavenly Venerates walked out from the Nine Great Divine Realms!

In the Great Cataclysmic War, some human Supreme Heavenly Venerates also fought on the front lines, and many Heavenly Venerates fell in that battle. Of course, the Sky Demon Clan similarly lost some Demon Kings.

Due to the heavy losses of the members of the Nine Great Divine Realms, each one now cherishes its warriors greatly.

Truly selfless people are just a small minority.

This is normal; after all, self-interest is the strongest drive for human progress.

Jing Yan could understand what Senior Brother Shan Hai said. If humanity and the Demon Clan were to go to war again, every Divine Realm would have no choice but to go all out. Yet now, with this being just a minor skirmish, it’s natural for all parties within the Nine Great Divine Realms to want to shift the responsibility onto others.

"Jing Yan, did you come all the way to the Nine Realms Star to see your master for something?" Shan Hai asked, looking at Jing Yan.

"Actually, I mainly came to find the Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign." Jing Yan shook his head and said.

"Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign?"

"That despicable disgrace!" When Senior Brother Shan Hai mentioned Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign, his face was filled with anger.

"That treacherous scoundrel, though he is a martial artist of the Seventh Divine Domain, he speaks for other Divine Realms. Our master really should not have brought Zhi Ying to the Nine Realms Assembly." Senior Brother Shan Hai said through clenched teeth.

"He’s just a piece of trash!" Jing Yan cursed softly.

"Senior Brother, I don’t want to wait any longer, I’m going in to see for myself! If they want to bully the Seventh Divine Domain and Master Zhan Yue, it won’t be so easy!" Jing Yan sneered with hidden hostility, then stepped towards the main gate of the Nine Realms Divine Palace.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan..." The Guard Captain hurried to stop Jing Yan upon seeing him about to break in.

"Dear Daoist, you cannot stop me. Actually, there’s no need to stop me. I will take all the responsibility." Jing Yan looked at the Guard Captain and the surrounding guards.

The Guard Captain and others exchanged glances, looked at Jing Yan, and then looked at Shan Hai Divine Sovereign.

"Junior Brother, don’t act recklessly! Inside, gather the big figures of the Nine Great Divine Realms. If things get out of hand, not even the master can control it." Senior Brother Shan Hai transmitted his voice to Jing Yan.

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother, I know my limits." Jing Yan also responded through voice transmission to Shan Hai.

Shan Hai frowned at Jing Yan but did not persuade him any further. Seeing that Shan Hai Divine Sovereign didn’t stop Jing Yan, the Guard Captain stepped aside, thinking that since Jing Yan was a direct disciple of Zhan Yue God Emperor, it would be wise for a minor Emperor God Master like himself to stay out of it.

"Whoosh!"

Jing Yan entered the interior of the Nine Realms Divine Palace, with Xiao Feng following closely behind. Senior Brother Shan Hai followed behind Xiao Feng.

As Jing Yan entered, he could hear the sound of heated arguments, seemingly very intense. As soon as Jing Yan appeared, all the voices abruptly ceased, and many eyes landed on Jing Yan.

Most martial artists of the Seventh Divine Domain naturally recognized Jing Yan, but few from the other Divine Realms knew him, and even fewer had seen his image.

"Who are you?"

"Audacious! Do you know what crime it is to trespass into the Nine Realms Divine Palace?"

"Where are the guards?"

One voice after another rang out abruptly, angrily scolding Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he slowly scanned those who were shouting. All those who spoke were at the Divine Sovereign and Emperor level. None of the true giants reprimanded him.

Among the crowd of Seventh Divine Domain martial artists, Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign also spotted Jing Yan. After a brief moment of surprise, a cold smile appeared on his lips as if he were waiting to see Jing Yan make a fool of himself.

"Fellow Daoists!"

"I am Jing Yan. Perhaps most of you are seeing me for the first time. That’s okay, even if you didn’t know me before, now you do." Jing Yan said boldly.

Jing Yan showed no fear or unease, contrary to what would be expected from being rebuked by so many.

"I greet Master!" Then, Jing Yan slightly bowed to pay respects to Zhan Yue God Emperor.

Zhan Yue glanced at Jing Yan, then at Shan Hai. Feeling Zhan Yue’s gaze, Shan Hai could only show a bitter smile.

"This is unacceptable! Utterly unacceptable!"

"Zhan Yue God Emperor, what do you have to say? Even though this person is your direct disciple, he cannot be so presumptuous, can he? Look at him, he completely disregards us!" A God Lord level martial artist pointed at Jing Yan, questioning Zhan Yue God Emperor.

"Haha, some people rely on their backing, thinking no one can do anything to them, so they act wantonly." Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign smiled insincerely, and though he didn’t name names, everyone knew who he was talking about.

Jing Yan shot a cold glance at Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign.

Then he looked at the Divine Sovereign level martial artist pointing at him.

"I don’t know your name, nor do I care to know it. However, I want to warn you solemnly, you better not point your finger at me! I am most averse to people pointing at me while talking!" Jing Yan glared at the Divine Sovereign.

The Divine Sovereign was slightly taken aback, as if he hadn’t immediately reacted.

After a moment of bewilderment, his face flushed red with a mix of shame and anger.

"Enough!" Finally, a God Emperor level powerhouse spoke, the leader of the Fourth Divine Domain, called Menglu.

The Divine Sovereign pointing at Jing Yan also belonged to the Fourth Divine Domain.

Upon hearing the leader of his Divine Domain, the Divine Sovereign forcefully retracted his outstretched hand, albeit with an unwilling expression.

Menglu God Emperor quickly scanned Jing Yan and then looked at Zhan Yue God Emperor.

"Zhan Yue, your disciple is indeed a bit too audacious. I think you should discipline him more. What kind of occasion is this? How can you let a junior behave recklessly? Such unrestrained behavior will lead to trouble sooner or later!" Menglu God Emperor said to Zhan Yue God Emperor.

He didn’t say anything to Jing Yan directly.

In his view, Jing Yan wasn’t qualified to speak with him. Thus, he directed his criticism at Zhan Yue God Emperor.

Zhan Yue God Emperor snorted softly.

"Jing Yan, since you’re here, why not come and listen," Zhan Yue God Emperor said indifferently to Jing Yan, "This Nine Realms Assembly is mainly discussing matters concerning the Demon Clan, so it’s beneficial for you to hear it as well."
