The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2118: The Crime of Possessing a Treasure

The Residence of Seventh Young Master Ying Zuo!

Jing Yan was still in seclusion. He had already mastered the Sixth Layer Seven Luminaries Technique, and from this Spell he had gained many new Dao insights.

As for his realm, Jing Yan had long since reached the Peak of All Things Realm, extremely close to the Nether Sky Realm. One could say that at this moment, Jing Yan could step into the Nether Sky Realm at any time; as long as he wished, he could immediately return to the Nether Sky Realm, which was the Controller Realm of the Chaos World.

But Jing Yan was in no hurry to recover his Nether Sky Realm, instead cross-checking and verifying. After coming to the Immortal Domain, Jing Yan’s cultivation path seemed to have opened a brand-new gate. From the Taoist Realm, in just a few dozen years, he had recovered to the Peak of All Things Realm. On the surface, it looked as if he was merely retracing his old road, but in reality Jing Yan had gained many new understandings of his Dao path.

In the Chaos World, because of various constraints—such as the impurities in the Divine Soul Body, such as having to grope alone along the Dao path and inevitably taking many detours, and such as the relatively singular way of comprehending Dao Skills—these reasons all caused the Life in the Chaos World to more or less hit a limit at the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm on the Dao path.

As for the Chaos World of Luo Dejie, the reason multiple Life at the Dao Master level could appear was that Luo Dejie’s Chaos World had an extremely, extremely long history, and there already existed Dao Masters who had fused with the Chaos World.

Once a Chaos World birthed a Dao Master who had grasped the world, that meant a Transformation had been completed. In every aspect, new Dao paths would appear, allowing some Cultivators at the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm level to continue breaking through. However, even for a transformed Chaos World, the Dao Master level was still the limit. To reach the Immortal Emperor Level while in a Chaos World was absolutely impossible.

Only in the Immortal Domain was there hope of advancing to Immortal Emperor and becoming a maker of the Supreme Rule, instead of merely grasping the Supreme Rule of a Chaos World. The Supreme Rule of a Chaos World was also laid down by the Immortal Emperor who created that Chaos World.

The Supreme Rule of Jing Yan’s Chaos World had been formulated by the Thunder Emperor.

What Jing Yan sought now was to broaden his Dao path a bit more. This was also to lay the groundwork for himself to advance to Immortal Emperor in the future. A narrow Dao path would affect his future ascension to Immortal Emperor.

...

Ying Family Territory!

A group of powerful Cultivators was flying toward Divine Martial City. At their head was precisely Lord Zu Ming of the Zu Family Territory. Behind Lord Zu Ming followed twenty to thirty Cultivators of the Nether Sky Realm. Behind these Nether Sky Realm Cultivators was an even larger crowd of Cultivators of the All Things Realm.

Lord Zu Ming had brought along most of the elite power in his territory.

After entering the Ying Family Territory, Lord Zu Ming did not go to attack the various cities within the territory. His target was very clear: Divine Martial City, the main city of the Ying Family Territory, the city where Lord Ying Zhu resided.

He had no interest in the resources of the Ying Family Territory. With his level of wealth, he couldn’t even be bothered to look at the pitiful resources of the Ying Family Territory. What he wanted were the Virtualization Treasure and the Virtualization Technique.

Lord Ying Zhu and the others all knew that Lord Zu Ming and his group had entered the Ying Family Territory, but they did not order the Cultivators in those cities to intercept them. Because doing so would be utterly meaningless. Even if all the Cultivators in those cities mobilized in full force, they wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of Lord Zu Ming’s group.

Unimpeded!

It wasn’t long before Lord Zu Ming and his group entered the region of Divine Martial City.

"We’re here!" Zu Ming’s gaze fixed on the vast city ahead as he spoke.

Even the main city of a third-rate territory was extremely vast. The Cultivators inside the city numbered in the hundreds of millions.

"Shua shua shua!"

Figures appeared one after another, hovering in the sky above Divine Martial City, overlooking the city below.

"Hehehe..."

"The commoner is innocent; bearing jade is his crime! Little fellow Ying Zhu, don’t blame this old man for being ruthless. If you must blame something, blame the fact that you obtained Treasures you fundamentally cannot control. Those things are not something you can lay your hands on!" Lord Zu Ming’s eyes were sinister as his thoughts turned.

"Boom!" Lord Zu Ming raised his hand, and vast Divine Power rippled out.

He pressed his palm downward in a sudden strike. A gigantic Palm Seal slammed down.

Within Divine Martial City, layers of Big Array Light Halo began to circulate. Veils of light rose up, resisting that gigantic Palm Seal.

Only after shattering several dozen layers of light veils in succession was the Palm Seal finally stopped.

After so many years of management by Lord Ying Zhu, Divine Martial City naturally had decent defensive capabilities. Blocking a few attacks from Lord Zu Ming was still within reach. If it were only dealing with Lord Zu Ming alone, then with Lord Ying Zhu personally controlling the Formation and borrowing the Power of the inner and outer Big Arrays, it wouldn’t be impossible to have a battle with Zu Ming.

The problem was that Lord Zu Ming was not alone. Behind him were still twenty to thirty Cultivators of the Nether Sky Realm, among whom two had strength close to Zu Ming’s, just one step away from crossing into the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm level.

"Crack crack crack!"

"Rumble! Rumble!"

The entire Divine Martial City trembled under that single palm from Zu Ming. Within the Residence, Lord Ying Zhu and the others all shuddered.

"Battle!" Lord Ying Zhu’s aura hardened as he was the first to fly out of the Residence.

Several Nether Sky Realm Cultivators followed behind him.

From within the Lord Mansion, over a hundred Cultivators at the All Things Realm level also followed closely.

"Lord Zu Ming!" Lord Ying Zhu glared at Lord Zu Ming hovering in the sky, his voice a low roar.

"Little Ying Zhu, do you admit your guilt?" Lord Zu Ming looked down from on high at Lord Ying Zhu and the others below.

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was to question his crimes!

"If you wish to condemn someone, why worry about lacking a pretext! If Lord Zu Ming wants to wipe out my Ying Family, why bother going to the trouble of finding so many excuses?" Lord Ying Zhu said with a bitter smile.

"Hmph! When you killed my son You Dan, you should have known this day would come!" Lord Zu Ming would never admit that he had orchestrated the entire affair.

Not find a pretext? If he didn’t find a pretext, Wuxia Heavenly Monarch would probably have already stepped in!

Lord Ying Zhu smiled faintly. He knew Lord Zu Ming’s methods like the back of his hand, but this matter simply couldn’t be made clear. The fact that You Dan had died at his hands was real, and Zu Ming would obviously bite down on that point.

"Lord Zu Ming, I admit it!"

"I only want to know what I must do to make you spare the Ying Family." Lord Ying Zhu asked.

Zu Ming’s eyes turned.

In his view, it was very likely that the Virtualization Treasures and the Virtualization Technique were on Lord Ying Zhu himself. But he couldn’t rule out the possibility that these things were on people close to Ying Zhu. So when it came to killing, he couldn’t kill only Ying Zhu alone. He had done all this for the Virtualization Treasure and Technique; if he could smoothly obtain these things, then it wasn’t absolutely necessary to kill every single one of Ying Zhu and the others.

"What’s going on?" In the Residence of Seventh Young Master Ying Zuo, Jing Yan, who was in seclusion, felt the violent tremors of space.

He flashed out of his room and looked toward the sky, his brows knitting tightly.
