The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2125: Not Human

Before Lun Tu was struck down by Jing Yan, there had been a brief pause in the circulation of his Divine Power and Dao Skills. The time was short, but Zu Ming and the others all noticed it.

Combining that with the All Things Realm Practitioners who had previously been killed by Jing Yan, it was not hard to deduce from all these signs that Jing Yan had used a Divine Soul Attack method.

Divine Soul Attack was a very rare offensive method even in the Immortal Domain. The conditions required to use such a method were far too harsh. Even Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm and even Immortal Venerables would find it difficult to meet the conditions to cultivate Divine Soul Attack.

For Divine Soul Attack, one not only needed a sufficiently strong Divine Soul Body, but that Divine Soul also had to be extremely pure. Back in the Chaos World, Jing Yan had needed Little Green’s assistance to unleash a Divine Soul Attack.

Now, when Zu Ming and the others noticed that Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Attack could affect Lun Tu, this powerhouse who was close to the Immortal Realm, they felt that such a level of Divine Soul Attack was truly terrifying. Yet Jing Yan himself was not even at the Nether Sky Realm, so they judged that Jing Yan must have used a Treasure capable of launching a Divine Soul Attack.

Hearing that Guest’s words, the shock in Lord Zu Ming’s eyes instantly turned into burning heat.

A Treasure of the Divine Soul Attack lineage!

The value of this lineage of Treasures was already hard to measure. Since it could affect Lun Tu, that meant this Treasure’s grade was extremely high. If he could obtain it...

Lord Zu Ming’s thoughts spun rapidly, his breathing turning heavy. For the sake of a single Divine Soul Attack Treasure, it would be worth it for him to launch a large-scale war.

"Kill!"

"First wipe out this brat!" Lord Zu Ming moved.

After he appeared above Divine Martial City, he had only struck once at the city’s defensive Formation at the very beginning, then remained suspended in the sky, watching. At this moment he could no longer restrain himself; the target of his attack was, unsurprisingly, Jing Yan.

Along with Zu Ming’s move, seven or eight Nether Sky Realm level Cultivators also acted, directly surrounding Jing Yan. They all understood deeply just how precious a Divine Soul Attack Treasure was.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan!" Lord Ying Zhu called out softly.

He had also seen the process of Jing Yan killing Lun Tu, and his mind was somewhat dazed.

At his Ying Family clan gathering, Jing Yan had displayed frightening strength, possessing Combat Power comparable to Nether Sky Realm Cultivators. This had made him treat Jing Yan with great respect and wholeheartedly want to keep this Early Stage of All Things Realm Cultivator. But at this very moment, he was truly stunned.

How did Fellow Daoist Jing Yan become Peak of All Things Realm?

How could Fellow Daoist Jing Yan silently and without a trace slaughter large numbers of All Things Realm Practitioners?

Fellow Daoist Jing Yan... he actually killed Lun Tu! That Lun Tu was already not far from the Immortal Realm, right? And moreover, he was killed with a single sword strike.

Wuxia City, Heavenly Monarch Mansion!

Wuxia Heavenly Monarch’s beautiful eyes also widened.

Wuxia Heavenly Monarch was well aware of Lun Tu, one of the strongest Guests under Lord Zu Ming, and had seen him more than once. This person had hope of stepping into the Immortal Rhythm Level; his Combat Power among Nether Sky Realm Cultivators was also outstanding. When she saw Lun Tu go to hunt down Jing Yan, she herself did not know why, but her heart actually felt a faint tension, as if she feared Jing Yan would be killed by that Lun Tu.

But that faint tension lasted only a very short time, because she saw Lun Tu get taken out by a single sword from Jing Yan.

With her breadth of experience, she still found it hard to believe. She controlled an entire Divine Continent, and in the long years she had seen countless Martial Arts Geniuses, and heard of even more. But an All Things Realm who could kill a Peak Nether Sky Realm Cultivator—this was truly the first time she had ever seen one.

"Lord Heavenly Monarch, did this Jing Yan succeed only because he used some Divine Soul Treasure to plot against Lun Tu?" an old man said in a low, deep voice.

Wuxia Heavenly Monarch shook her head and did not speak immediately.

"That should be the case, right? I saw Lun Tu fall into a brief distraction when facing Jing Yan’s Seven Luminaries Technique, which caused him to be unable to timely cast a Spell to block Jing Yan’s attack, and thus he was killed," another person said.

The several people present all nodded slightly.

"You are wrong!" Wuxia Heavenly Monarch spoke.

"Oh?" Everyone looked toward Wuxia Heavenly Monarch.

What did Lord Heavenly Monarch mean? Could it be that Jing Yan truly had directly taken Lun Tu, this powerhouse close to the Immortal Realm, with a single sword?

"He indeed used Divine Soul methods against Lun Tu, but he did not use a Divine Soul Treasure. Rather... he himself has mastered a Divine Soul Attack method. What he relied on was his own power, not external force," Wuxia Heavenly Monarch said slowly.

"How is that possible!"

"Divine Soul Attack methods are far too difficult to master. It seems that in our Blue Rain Divine Continent, there is not even a single Cultivator who has mastered Divine Soul Attack methods."

"Exactly! To take a step back, even if this Jing Yan has mastered Divine Soul Attack, he is merely at the All Things Realm level. With his realm, how strong can his Divine Soul Body be? Even if he unleashes a Divine Soul Attack, it shouldn’t be possible for him to slaughter large numbers of other All Things Realm Practitioners, and even less possible to directly affect Lun Tu, right?"

The few people in the Great Hall all shook their heads.

"Heh heh..." Wuxia Heavenly Monarch let out a soft laugh.

She raised her fair arm, as white as mutton-fat jade, and lightly waved it before her. In the space before her, the Power of Laws fluctuated, and then an image appeared. This image was precisely the scene of Jing Yan killing Lun Tu just now—a replayed scene.

"Watch carefully!" Wuxia Heavenly Monarch said.

Everyone watched intently.

The image was not long; the process of Jing Yan killing Lun Tu was very brief.

After the people present stared wide-eyed without missing the slightest detail, each of their expressions changed.

"This is too outrageous!"

"This Jing Yan... that fellow is simply not human! He’s like this already in the All Things Realm; if he steps into the Nether Sky Realm, then wouldn’t he..."

"I can’t imagine how he did it. Has his Divine Soul Attack actually reached that level? Is his Divine Soul Body even stronger than that of an ordinary Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm?"

The people in the Great Hall were all powerhouses at Wuxia Heavenly Monarch’s side. After rewatching the process of Jing Yan killing Lun Tu, they were almost certain that Jing Yan had not used any Divine Soul Magical Treasure. Because in Jing Yan’s hands there was only that Longsword Magic Treasure, and nothing else. If Jing Yan had used a Divine Soul Magical Treasure, he would certainly have had to take it out first. And that Longsword was definitely not a Divine Soul Magical Treasure; everyone present was sure of that. Although the Longsword’s power was very strong, it was only a normal Magic Treasure at the Immortal Realm level.

"Lord Heavenly Monarch, will you intervene? Zu Ming has brought a group of Nether Sky Realm Cultivators to surround Jing Yan; I fear Jing Yan will not be able to withstand them," the black-clothed woman said, looking toward Wuxia Heavenly Monarch.

A Cultivator like Jing Yan being killed would be truly too great a pity. More importantly, Jing Yan was within the Blue Rain Divine Continent. If he could be saved, perhaps in the future he could become the right-hand man of the Heavenly Monarch.

Wuxia Heavenly Monarch, Wen Yan, was somewhat moved; she did indeed have the intention to make a move.
