The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1814: Chapter 1814: Divine Soul Enhancement

In the Chaos Void, the milky yellow Divine Soul Power was devoid of any consciousness or thought. At this moment, it could be seen as a pure form of Divine Soul Energy.

This Divine Soul Energy held immense attraction for Jing Yan. Jing Yan felt that even his Divine Soul Body was trembling slightly.

"This Divine Soul Energy seems to have great benefits for me. Then... I shall absorb it!" Jing Yan hesitated very little. After confirming that the Divine Soul Energy could be absorbed without any consciousness hindrance, he spread out his Divine Soul Power.

The milky yellow Divine Soul Energy transformed into trickling streams, merging into Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body.

"Refreshing!"

"This is indeed a treasure, able to directly enhance my Divine Soul Strength." Feeling the enhancement of his Divine Soul Power, Jing Yan was overjoyed.

Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body had not seen any improvement for a very long time. Relatively speaking, Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body was considered quite strong. However, after stepping into the Supreme realm, the enhancement of Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Strength was very faint. Even advancing from First Order Supreme to Second Order Supreme, and from Second Order Supreme to Third-rank Supreme, Jing Yan’s Divine Soul had little progression.

As his strength improved, the power of the Divine Soul Storm became rather awkward among Jing Yan’s various methods. To high-level Supreme beings, the threat of the Divine Soul Storm was not very significant, barely useful during sneak attacks. If high-level Supreme beings were prepared, the Divine Soul Storm would hardly pose a threat.

This led to Jing Yan using the Divine Soul Storm very rarely.

The weakness of the Divine Soul Storm ultimately boiled down to the slow enhancement of Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Strength, far behind the advancement of his other methods.

At this moment, Jing Yan’s absorption of Mo Ye Hong’s Divine Soul Energy could significantly enhance his Divine Soul Strength. How could Jing Yan not be pleased? Who would have thought that killing this Devouring Sky Clan life would bring such enormous benefits?

This Divine Soul Energy was far more important to Jing Yan than those Chaos Treasures.

While Jing Yan was absorbing Mo Ye Hong’s Divine Soul Energy, Duanmu and other high-level Supreme beings watched Jing Yan one by one.

Mo Ye Hong’s Divine Soul Energy held enormous attraction not only to Jing Yan but also to Duanmu and other high-level Supreme beings. These individuals revealed more or less a greedy expression in their eyes, and some entertained thoughts of seizing it.

However, they had not lost their reason. Jing Yan, in a one-on-one fight, killed the immensely powerful Mo Ye Hong; such strength was beyond their ability to contend with. Furthermore, the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix was nearby Jing Yan. Should anyone with ill intent approach Jing Yan, they would first face the attack from the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix.

Lady Nu Zhen was also rather tempted by Mo Ye Hong’s Divine Soul Energy, but she had no intention of seizing it. If anyone else wanted to snatch it, Lady Nu Zhen would join the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix in stopping them.

After about the time of a tea’s worth, Jing Yan completely refined and absorbed Mo Ye Hong’s Divine Soul Energy.

"Exhilarating!"

"This is indeed a treasure!" Jing Yan sensed his Divine Soul Body and discovered his Divine Soul Strength had increased by a full tenth.

Do not underestimate this tenth of enhancement. Achieving this level of cultivation like Jing Yan, improving Divine Soul Strength is exceedingly difficult. Even Chaos Treasures within the Chaos Universe had little effect on enhancing Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Strength. This tenth increase in Divine Soul Strength was enough to elevate Jing Yan’s comprehension abilities to a new tier.

Comprehending the Fate Dao, the Destruction Dao, and even Hongmeng Dao Pattern, Jing Yan’s understanding would undergo an entirely new transformation.

If he could kill several more from the Devouring Heaven Clan and absorb more Divine Soul Energy, Jing Yan felt he might soon reach the level of a high-level Supreme in Law Cultivation. He wouldn’t even need to observe the Dao Map left by Ancestor Hong Jun; he might comprehend the fourth layer of Hongmeng Dao Pattern on his own.

Licking his lips, Jing Yan felt a bit unsatisfied.

He glanced at the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix and Lady Nu Zhen, as well as Duanmu and others in the distance, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Mo Ye Hong is dead, but we still cannot be careless. Because, even though only Mo Ye Hong from the Devouring Heaven Clan has been discovered so far, it cannot be confirmed that only this one Devouring Heaven Clan member entered our universe. Besides, even if there’s only one Mo Ye Hong now, who can say there won’t be more from the Devouring Heaven Clan entering our universe in the future?" Jing Yan said.

"Supreme Jing Yan is right. Mo Ye Hong alone caused us such distress. If more members of the Devouring Heaven Clan appear, our universe may not have sufficient power to respond effectively. From now on, we must keep a close watch on the Chaotic Vortex." said Duanmu Supreme, nodding.

"Supreme Jing Yan, we are fortunate to have you. Otherwise, the outcome would have been uncertain." continued Duanmu Supreme, thanking Jing Yan.

"It’s what I ought to do! Though I am a cultivator, I am also a part of this universe." Jing Yan waved his hand.

"Those who are capable should take on more! Supreme Jing Yan’s unmatched strength means he should contribute more," said the golden-skinned high-level Supreme, speaking gruffly.

Jing Yan looked at the golden-skinned Supreme and smiled, "I dare not claim unmatched strength. However, for the sake of protecting this universe, I will surely give my all."

"Ha, the effort of Supreme Jing Yan is not without reward. The Divine Soul Energy of Mo Ye Hong seems quite extraordinary. On the other hand, Mu Bin Supreme died in battle to protect the universe but didn’t gain any benefits." remarked a high-level Supreme, glancing at Jing Yan.

Clearly, he was somewhat jealous of Jing Yan absorbing Mo Ye Hong’s Divine Soul Energy.

Jing Yan looked at him intently and spoke in a low voice, "What is this Daoist’s name?"

"Shixie." said Shixie Supreme.

"Should Shixie Supreme kill members of the Devouring Heaven Clan, I wouldn’t say a word about you obtaining their Divine Soul Energy." Jing Yan said with a cold smile.

Shixie Supreme’s face darkened.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

"Mo Ye Hong was slain by Supreme Jing Yan. Had Supreme Jing Yan not arrived, we might not have been able to stop Mo Ye Hong, and who knows how many would have perished here. Honestly, we ought to be grateful, rather than uttering anything about Supreme Jing Yan obtaining Mo Ye Hong’s Divine Soul Energy!" Duanmu Supreme surveyed the other high-level Supremes around him.

"I was impulsive! Supreme Jing Yan, my apologies. Please treat my words as if unsaid." Shixie Supreme cupped his hands to Jing Yan, whether or not he held this sentiment truly, at least on the surface, he apologized to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan couldn’t be bothered to continue speaking with him.

"Xiao Feng, Lady Nu Zhen, let’s go!" Jing Yan said to the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix and Lady Nu Zhen.

"Alright!" they responded together.

Jing Yan moved slightly with his Divine Power, the Power of Laws enveloping the two, and with an Ultimate Nihility, they vanished from before Duanmu and others.
