Jing Yan stared dazedly at the gigantic figure ahead, his heart suspended in his chest. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥 This figure was as tall as fifty thousand meters. In his hand, he held a massive black sword. The sword’s tip pointed downward, resting on the ground, as if he were leaning on this black sword. "Who is this person?" "Why is he inside the Ninth Floor of the Quenching God Star Tower? Back when the All Paths Venerable obtained the Quenching God Star Tower in Chaos, the All Paths Venerable should have known about the situation on the Ninth Floor, right? So, does this person also know the All Paths Venerable?" Jing Yan stood there, momentarily unsure whether he should proceed or quietly retreat to avoid him. Though the distance was great, Jing Yan could still clearly sense the aura emanating from the gigantic figure. It was an extremely powerful and immensely heavy aura. Under this aura, even a Divine Sovereign Martial Artist like Jing Yan felt an urge to bow in reverence. Jing Yan wasn’t sensing such an aura for the first time. Earlier, in the Land of Descent, when facing the relics of the All Paths Venerable, Jing Yan had felt it. So Jing Yan could roughly judge that this figure likely belonged to a supreme being of the Heavenly Venerate Level. A Supreme Heavenly Venerate, in the Ninth Floor of the Quenching God Star Tower? Has he always been inside the Quenching God Star Tower, or did he enter later? Jing Yan’s mind was racing! "Something’s wrong! There seems to be no fluctuation of life aura from him! That’s right, indeed, there is no sensation of life aura, just like when I saw the relics of the All Paths Venerable," Jing Yan thought. "Could it be... that this Heavenly Venerate expert has also died?" Jing Yan’s eyes flashed. With this thought, Jing Yan grew bolder, and he began to cautiously probe forward with his Divine Thought. When he first saw the gigantic figure, Jing Yan completely withdrew his Divine Thought because he feared offending the other party. Now, thinking that the other might be deceased, Jing Yan once again released his Divine Thought. However, he remained cautious, advancing his Divine Thought slowly forward. As Jing Yan probed forward with his Divine Thought, the gigantic figure made no movement, standing utterly still. When Jing Yan’s Divine Thought came within a thousand miles of the figure, it could no longer advance. The Divine Thought seemed to be isolated by some power. But this was no longer important; what mattered was that Jing Yan could basically confirm that this person was indeed dead, and likely had been for a very long time. "Could it be that he fought with the All Paths Venerable, and then..." "The All Paths Venerable is also dead. It’s quite possible that this person and the All Paths Venerable fought a life-and-death battle, resulting in mutual destruction!" Jing Yan speculated to himself. At the same time, he continued to step forward. Since this presumably human Heavenly Venerate was dead, the danger to Jing Yan was significantly reduced. Having come this far, Jing Yan certainly wanted to move closer and take a look. "There..." As he approached, Jing Yan’s pupils shrank slightly. This time, his gaze fell beneath the gigantic figure. Under the feet of the giant figure lay another corpse, a gigantic one, pitch-black all over. From afar, Jing Yan had already seen this pitch-black corpse. At that time, Jing Yan hadn’t realized it was a corpse, merely thinking it was something else. Now, he recognized it as a corpse. It wasn’t a human corpse; it appeared... like a Heavenly Demon. Back when Jing Yan ventured through the Star Moon World, he broke through the Red Demon Array, where he battled many Red Demon Puppets. Hence, Jing Yan was familiar with the appearance of the Sky Demon Clan’s Heavenly Demons. The gigantic figure lying under the figure’s feet resembled, in appearance, those Heavenly Demons within the Red Demon Array. However, this corpse was exceptionally massive. Jing Yan felt that the corpse’s height might exceed that of the standing human Heavenly Venerate by at least twice, reaching over a hundred thousand meters in height. Jing Yan suppressed his astonishment and continued to advance. Soon, Jing Yan reached a spot a thousand miles from the two corpses. From this position, Jing Yan indeed felt a tangible energy barrier. Jing Yan mobilized his Divine Power, attempting to break through the energy blocking him. However, even when pushing his Divine Power to its limit, he could not take another step forward. At that moment, Jing Yan sensed an anomaly within the Qiankun Small World; the All Paths Order seemed to be reacting. Jing Yan quickly took out the All Paths Order, and sure enough, a faint halo began to flow from it. The All Paths Order was something Jing Yan had obtained in the Land of Descent. The servants, Suo Yiren and Jiu Huan, of the All Paths Venerable, had given this All Paths Order to Jing Yan. The light halo on the All Paths Order interacted with the energy blocking Jing Yan, seemingly inducing some changes. Jing Yan’s body shuddered slightly, then he stepped forward. This time, it was effortless. The blocking force no longer presented any obstacle to Jing Yan. Jing Yan looked at the All Paths Order in his hand, and some understanding dawned on him. When Jing Yan arrived closer, he saw it. The heavenly demon lying on the ground had a massive hole in its chest, which pierced through from the front, seemingly completely perforated. After a glance at this giant hole, Jing Yan looked toward the black longsword in the human Heavenly Venerate’s hand. The shape of the hole matched the black longsword perfectly. "This wound must have been caused by the human Heavenly Venerate’s longsword," Jing Yan exclaimed in shock. "Did the human Heavenly Venerate perish together with this Heavenly Demon?" "For a Heavenly Demon to be this formidable, capable of killing a human Heavenly Venerate? Could it be, it is the Demon King of the Sky Demon Clan?" Jing Yan slightly raised his head, gazing upward. At this point, Jing Yan could be one hundred percent certain that the human Heavenly Venerate and this Heavenly Demon had been dead for a long time. "Could it be an Acquired Supreme Treasure? Such terrifying power fluctuations! My Colorful Cloud Sword is also at the Acquired Spiritual Treasure level, but the power is far less than this black gigantic sword," Jing Yan sensed the power fluctuations from the black gigantic sword. "Also, the weapon used by a human Heavenly Venerate would naturally be immensely powerful!" Jing Yan then nodded. "Hm?" Suddenly, Jing Yan’s spirit trembled. He immediately sat down cross-legged, feeling a stirring within. Jing Yan’s mastery of the Sword Intent Domain was already very close to Ultimate Sword Intent. Now, arriving at the foot of the human Heavenly Venerate’s relics and sensing the power of the black gigantic sword, Jing Yan experienced an intangible touch. It seemed that there were signs of transformation in the Sword Intent Domain. Once seated, Jing Yan immediately focused his mind, devoting all his spirit to the Sword Intent Domain. Jing Yan, with almost no effort, began the transformation of his mastered Sword Intent Domain. Streams of Sword Intent Power emanated and diffused.
