The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1987: Chapter 1987: Title Controller’s Power

Yang Liao’s robe billowed, his beard and hair all bristling as his hands swept rapidly before his chest.

The two-colored vortex in front of him was precisely an extremely powerful Chaotic Level Secret Skill. Once unleashed, its Power was vast and boundless.

Jing Yan thrust the Ice Flame Sword forward, and the moment it collided with the two-colored vortex, he felt a tremendous resistance surging up, as if countless tentacles were twining around the Ice Flame Sword, making it impossible for the Ice Flame Sword to continue advancing.

Seeing his Secret Technique block the Ice Flame Sword, Yang Liao finally relaxed a little. What had happened in that split second earlier had truly scared him out of his wits. First, a force abruptly descended, restricting his flight speed, and then Jing Yan stepped across the distance to appear right in front of him. Before he could even consider what had happened, he saw a Longsword exuding a bone-piercing chill stabbing toward him.

He had poured his full Divine Power into activating his Secret Technique to block it; in truth, it was a subconscious reaction, an instinctive act of self-preservation. Looking at it now, his Secret Technique could still block Jing Yan’s attack.

"This Jing Yan’s strength is terrifying, I’m afraid he’s above me. I can’t handle him alone—who’s going to help me?" After barely blocking the Ice Flame Sword, Yang Liao immediately urged his Divine Thought to send out a plea for help.

"I’ll come!" Deputy Hall Master Tao Wu of the Void Divine Hall responded.

Immediately, Tao Wu withdrew from his own battle circle first and began pressing toward where Yang Liao and Jing Yan were.

"Divine Soul Wind Blade!" Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Divine Soul Power surged, and with Little Green’s assistance, Jing Yan’s mighty Divine Soul Power condensed into formless Wind Blades that swept toward Yang Liao.

Jing Yan was only about two meters away from Yang Liao. At such a short distance, the Divine Soul Wind Blade’s Power suffered practically no loss and slammed in full force into Yang Liao’s Divine Soul Body.

Yang Liao was a Controller Level powerhouse, and a relatively formidable Controller at that. He had cultivated for a very long time, and his Divine Soul Body was strong enough. Yet even so, his Divine Soul Body could not completely ignore Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Wind Blade. Under the frenzied bombardment of the Divine Soul Wind Blades, Yang Liao’s consciousness fell into a brief daze.

Once his consciousness was thrown into chaos, his Secret Technique naturally could not be maintained at its peak Power.

The Ice Flame Sword in Jing Yan’s hand gave a fierce tremor, and under the gaze of many powerhouses, that Longsword pierced into the two-colored vortex, its tip driving straight into Yang Liao’s body. Terrifying energy poured madly from the sword into Yang Liao’s torso.

"Ah!" Yang Liao let out a shrill scream.

Then his entire body began to shatter. Yang Liao, Mie Chun—Controllers like them actually had rather fragile Physical Bodies, and they had no intrinsic ability to withstand Jing Yan’s sword light energy.

"That’s the second one." Jing Yan drew back the Ice Flame Sword and said coldly.

At this moment, Deputy Hall Master Tao Wu, who wanted to rush to Yang Liao’s aid, was still closing in and had not yet reached Jing Yan’s vicinity. While flying, Tao Wu witnessed the process of Yang Liao being slain; his whole body jolted, and fear surfaced in his eyes.

When Jing Yan had killed Master Mie Chun earlier, many people hadn’t seen the process with their own eyes, and some might have thought Jing Yan had relied on some Special Treasure to pull it off. This time, when Jing Yan killed Yang Liao, nearly everyone saw the process clearly: Jing Yan didn’t take out any Special Treasure at all—he simply used the weapon in his hand and brutally stabbed Master Yang Liao to death.

This level of strength absolutely did not fall short of the very top Controllers. Even for a Controller on the level of Chenyuan Emperor, it would be impossible to kill Yang Liao or Mie Chun with such ease.

"Du Ya, did you see that?"

"Hahaha... This young friend Jing Yan is something else! His strength really is a bit frightening. Although I didn’t see clearly every method he used, this is definitely his own power, not something borrowed from external objects." Ma Yi Ancestor’s eyes burned with light, and he couldn’t help but laugh as he spoke.

This time, he had come to the Hongjun Heavenly Palace precisely intending to stop the Void Divine Hall. Later, because Du Ya Ancestor blocked him, he had no choice but to stand aside and watch. He had originally thought that the Hongjun Heavenly Palace was doomed this time, but he had not expected a Jing Yan to suddenly appear, his strength astonishing to such a degree, slaughtering Void Divine Hall Controller Level powerhouses almost effortlessly.

"Of course I saw it." Du Ya Ancestor glanced at Ma Yi Ancestor, rolled his eyes, and said.

"Du Ya, I have a feeling that today, Jing Yan will be able to hold off He Ming and the others. If in a bit He Ming wants you to make a move against Jing Yan, you’re not really going to do it, are you? Let me say the ugly words first: if you strike at Jing Yan, don’t blame me for turning completely hostile. Even if it means shattering the Chaos itself, I’ll still go all out!" Ma Yi Ancestor stared at Du Ya Ancestor, his expression deadly serious.

Du Ya Ancestor shook his head.

"Ma Yi, you’re overthinking it. I came here this time to repay a favor, but it’s limited to stopping you. As for whether the Void Divine Hall can ultimately wipe out the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, that has nothing to do with me. What I promised He Ming was to stop you from making a move. As long as you take action, I will not take action." Du Ya Ancestor said in a deep voice.

"That’s good enough! Hahaha!" Ma Yi Ancestor laughed heartily.

Luoshui Divine Palace!

"This Jing Yan... it seems he hasn’t even gone all out yet." Yihua Palace Master’s beautiful eyes glimmered with faint radiance.

"When he killed Mie Chun, he used a type of Swordsmanship that contained the Hongjun Heavenly Palace’s Hongmeng Dao Pattern Secret Method—that should have been the Power of the Seventh Layer Hongmeng Dao Pattern. At the same time, he activated Ancient Tree Elder’s Ancient Tree Inheritance, and that was how he slew a Controller like Mie Chun with a single sword."

"But when he killed Yang Liao, he did not use the Ancient Tree Inheritance, because at that time there was no purple Light Halo circulating on the surface of his body. He did use the Hongmeng Dao Pattern though. That sword strike was blocked by Yang Liao’s Secret Technique, but then Yang Liao suddenly seemed to have a problem with his consciousness and could not fully maintain the Secret Technique’s Power, allowing Jing Yan to break through it and then stab straight through his body. It seems the rumors that Jing Yan has mastered Divine Soul Attack are true." Yihua Palace Master slowly voiced her deductions.

And her deductions were very close to the truth.

"Palace Master, in your opinion, what level has this Jing Yan’s true strength reached? Controllers like Mie Chun and Yang Liao are not ordinary Controllers. Among the many Controller Level Life forms In Chaos, their strength is considered relatively formidable. Yet Jing Yan killed them as if it took no effort at all." A Controller of Luoshui Divine Palace asked.

"So far, Jing Yan has not erupted with full strength. But in my view, his true strength has probably already surpassed the level of Chenyuan Emperor and should be fully comparable to a Title Controller." Yihua Palace Master said after a slight pause.

Hearing these words from Yihua Palace Master, the various Controllers of Luoshui Divine Palace present here all trembled slightly. Although before she spoke, they had vaguely had similar speculations, when Yihua herself said it out loud, they still felt an extreme shock.

A Title Controller!
