The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2012: Chapter 2012: Annihilation

In Chaos, everyone knew the great name of Jing Yan, and knew that Jing Yan held the status of Palace Master of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

But those who had actually seen Jing Yan in person were, in the end, very few. Jiao Jian had also never seen Jing Yan himself, so when he saw Jing Yan at this moment, he did not recognize him immediately.

However, Jiao Jian was still quite shocked, because he had absolutely no idea how Jing Yan had come over. Before Jing Yan spoke, he hadn’t sensed anything at all. He was, at least, a powerful being of the All Things Realm; he might not be very eye‑catching In Chaos, but in some smaller Chaos Countries, he would be at the level of a King.

All Things Realm Beings were already considered relatively powerful beings.

Gong Ding and the others were also staring at Jing Yan with shocked eyes. They could feel that Jing Yan’s strength was definitely very great. Could there really be such a powerful Life among the Cosmic Creatures?

Could it be that this young‑looking Life in a cyan robe was also one of the Chaos Creatures?

"Father?"

"Jing Yan!"

"It’s Lord Jing Yan, Lord Jing Yan has returned!"

Jiao Jian and the others didn’t recognize Jing Yan, but Jing Yun and the others were much more familiar with him. The moment Jing Yun saw that cyan figure in the sky, he immediately cried out.

Gao Feng, Bai Xue and the rest also showed excited expressions, their beautiful eyes fixed on Jing Yan.

Among those council members, except for the few who had advanced to Supreme after Jing Yan left the universe, the other Supremes all knew Jing Yan.

"What?"

Hearing what Jing Yun and the others said, Jiao Jian and his group were instantly dumbfounded!

Jing Yan?

Palace Master Jing Yan?

Jiao Jian’s eyes bulged, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest.

It really was Palace Master Jing Yan!

Jiao Jian had never seen Jing Yan in person, but he had once seen Jing Yan’s image. Thinking back now, the person before him was indeed extremely similar to the one in the image.

"How... how did Palace Master Jing Yan come back?" Jiao Jian instantly wilted.

When he hadn’t seen Jing Yan, he’d been wildly arrogant, but after seeing the man himself, even his bones went soft. Who was Jing Yan? He was the peerless powerhouse who had killed the Void Divine Palace Master He Ming!

In Chaos, many people believed Jing Yan to be the Chaos Strongest. Whether or not he was at the Controller Realm of the Title Controller, his Combat Power was something even Title Controllers could not compare to. A Chaos Giant like He Ming had been killed head‑on by Palace Master Jing Yan. Even Ancient Title Controllers would probably struggle to be Jing Yan’s match.

"Father, you... you’ve finally come back."

"Father, this person is called Jiao Jian, he’s a powerhouse who’s surpassed the universe’s limit!" Jing Yun was already very mature now. Although he was very excited to see Jing Yan, he still hadn’t forgotten about Jiao Jian.

He told Jing Yan that Jiao Jian was a powerhouse beyond the universe’s limit precisely as a warning.

Jing Yan nodded slightly to Jing Yun, then smiled at Gao Feng, Bai Xue, and the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix.

"Palace Master Jing Yan!"

"Jiao Jian of Boundaryless Spirit Mountain pays respects to Palace Master Jing Yan!" Once Jiao Jian reacted, he hurriedly bowed to Jing Yan.

"Boundaryless Spirit Mountain, you’re a member of Boundaryless Spirit Mountain?" Jing Yan’s gaze swept across Jiao Jian.

"Palace Master Jing Yan, I am indeed a member of Boundaryless Spirit Mountain." Jiao Jian’s heart was in utter panic, and only the background of Boundaryless Spirit Mountain gave him a shred of confidence.

In his view, even Jing Yan couldn’t simply disregard Boundaryless Spirit Mountain.

"Hmph! I’ll ask you, what exactly are you trying to do here?" Jing Yan snorted coldly.

"I... I have no ill intent. This time I only came to find a Cosmic Creature named Nu Zhen. Our Boundaryless Spirit Mountain’s Vice Mountain Master Lord Kong Ying learned that Nu Zhen has a replica Reincarnation Path in her hands, so he sent me to borrow it. Vice Mountain Master only wants to borrow it for a look, and once he’s done, he’ll return the replica Reincarnation Path." Jiao Jian spoke quickly.

"Is that so? Borrow something?"

"Since it’s just borrowing something, why did you attack Sky Creation City?" Jing Yan asked again.

"This..." Jiao Jian was at a loss for words.

"Nu Zhen doesn’t wish to lend out the Reincarnation Path, so you intended to seize it by force, is that it? You even attacked Sky Creation City. You’re quite bold—was it Kong Ying who told you to do this? You thought that, relying on Boundaryless Spirit Mountain, I would have scruples, is that it? Before you entered this universe, you definitely knew this was my home universe. You knew this was my home universe, and you still dared to act so wantonly. Tell me, can I possibly let you go?" Jing Yan said slowly.

"Palace Master Jing Yan, I... I didn’t just strike wildly! My lord, while this universe is your home, it’s not that different from other universes. The strongest Life within it is nothing more than ordinary Taoist Realm. If I struck as I pleased, there would be no one in this universe capable of blocking even a single attack of mine." Jiao Jian argued slyly.

"Father, Duanmu Supreme is dead, he was killed by this man!" A grief‑stricken voice rose from below to Jing Yan.

Jing Yun had already stopped controlling Sky Creation City’s Guardian Array, and he and a group of others now flew up from below with him in the lead.

"Duanmu Supreme is dead?" Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed.

"Palace Master Jing Yan, that Duanmu Supreme was far too rude to me. I got truly angry for a moment and couldn’t help but make a move. I really didn’t intend to kill him!" Jiao Jian was still trying to argue.

"Since Nu Zhen doesn’t wish to lend out the Reincarnation Path, naturally I won’t force it. How about this—we’ll leave this universe right now. I’ll return to Boundaryless Spirit Mountain and report to Vice Mountain Master, telling him that I was unable to borrow the replica Reincarnation Path Treasure." Jiao Jian wished he could leave this place immediately.

"You want to leave now? It’s already too late. None of you are leaving, not a single one! As for Boundaryless Spirit Mountain’s Vice Mountain Master Kong Ying, I’ll go find him in person for a little talk!" Jing Yan said coldly.

"Poof!"

Then, Jing Yan raised his palm and lightly slapped out.

As that palm struck, space instantly twisted, terrifying patterns flashing into being. In just a brief instant, they enveloped all five of them—Jiao Jian and his four companions.

"Ah!"

"No!"

"I’m from Boundaryless Spirit Mountain—" Jiao Jian’s face twisted as he felt an irresistible power bearing down on him.

This power pressed in from all directions. His body couldn’t even move, much less attempt any kind of resistance.

Before Jiao Jian could even finish his sentence, his body had already turned to dust within the distorted space. The four behind him—Gong Ding and the others—were likewise reduced to fine powder. Not even their Personal Spaces were left behind.

With just a casual palm, all five of these Chaos Creatures were slain.

Jing Yun and the others all stared blankly at the scene unfolding. From those Chaos Creatures’ earlier words, they had more or less understood that Jing Yan also had considerable fame In Chaos, and that his strength was likely very great—he should also be a powerhouse who had surpassed the universe’s limit. Yet even if they racked their brains, they could never have imagined Jing Yan’s strength would be this terrifying.

With a random palm, he killed a powerhouse beyond the universe’s limit, and that powerhouse hadn’t been able to move even once from start to finish.
