The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 1940: Investigating the Stronghold

Outside the fortress, the controllers were all once again lost.

What’s going on?

They couldn’t understand it at all.

In just this half-hour since Guan Lianshan and the others were transported out of the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress, Jing Yan’s name not only didn’t turn black on the light wall, but contrary to expectations, his points surged by over three million.

From Guan Lianshan and others, the controllers understood that Jing Yan was now supposed to be facing an assault by six Golden Body All Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan Creatures. Even the weaker controllers would have to flee immediately if surrounded by six Golden Body All Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan creatures. If they stayed to fight to the end, the weaker controller would definitely die.

When the Golden Body All Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan creatures erupt, they can withstand for a period against a weaker controller. Six Golden Body All Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan joining forces, the weaker controller certainly couldn’t hold them.

Yet Jing Yan, in this half-hour, seems to have killed three Golden Body All Things Realm Devouring Heaven Clan creatures in succession. Three Golden Body Devouring Heaven Clan creates correspond to three million slaughter points. Jing Yan’s slaughter points have already surpassed seventeen million.

The controllers looked at each other in disbelief, unable to imagine what was happening inside. They didn’t know what method Jing Yan relied upon to reach this point. Even Chenyuan Emperor was entirely bewildered.

At this moment, after killing the third Golden Body All Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan creature, Jing Yan’s eyes shifted.

In the distance, streaks of golden light appeared.

Golden Body Devouring Heaven Clan!

Moreover, there were quite a few of them, around seven or eight.

"Still coming!"

"Probably most of the Golden Body All Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan creatures in this fortress have already arrived here," Jing Yan mused to himself.

He had long suspected this; he wasn’t surprised by the arrival of these reinforcements.

"Counting the reinforcements, there are now over ten Golden Body All Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan!"

"No, it’s time to go!" Jing Yan shook his head.

Although he wanted to kill all the Golden Body All Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan creatures, facing more than ten Golden Body Devouring Heaven Clan, even with the Time-Space Chain to restrict their speed, it wasn’t feasible. With so many, these Golden Body Devouring Heaven Clan could encircle him. Killing one Golden Body Devouring Heaven Clan creature takes more than a cup of tea time, and once surrounded, the control over the Time-Space Chain would be severely affected.

At that point, he would be in great danger. Ten Golden Body Devouring Heaven Clan, even a single attack from each would be unbearable.

"Leave!" Jing Yan’s figure flickered.

Having decided, he didn’t hesitate. Jing Yan, carrying the Time-Space Chain, flashed multiple times and vanished from the sight of those Golden Body Devouring Heaven Clan.

The three remaining Golden Body Devouring Heaven Clan breathed a sigh of relief. If not for the reinforcements, they would have surely died here.

"What’s going on? That lifeform, it’s Jing Yan? You... The Time-Space Chain?" One of the newly arrived Golden Body Devouring Heaven Clan asked.

"That’s Jing Yan! The Time-Space Chain was taken by Jing Yan! Damn it, General Soto was also killed!" A Golden Body Devouring Heaven Clan answered.

He was referring to General Soto, the one who controlled the Time-Space Chain.

"What?"

"The Time-Space Chain taken? Damnable! How is that possible? Worthless fools! How will you explain to the Marshal?" That Golden Body Devouring Heaven Clan growled fiercely.

...

After escaping, Jing Yan found a place to replenish his consumed Divine Power.

"This Time-Space Chain is extremely important to the Devouring Sky Clan. Having obtained it now, they certainly won’t let it go easily. It’s likely that the Devouring Sky Clan Marshal might act personally," Jing Yan pondered.

"Hmm, perhaps the Marshal will leave his lair! And the Super Wormhole, it’s likely located in the core area’s center, or perhaps directly hidden within the lair. I need to get closer and try to pinpoint the super wormhole’s node." Jing Yan’s eyes fixed on the distance.

"Whoosh!" He took flight, moving deeper into the core area.

Since entering the fortress and arriving at the outskirts of the core area, Jing Yan hadn’t ventured further in. The core area was extremely dangerous, and earlier information was scarce. Venturing too deep could lead to death within. Now, Jing Yan felt more secure. Those over ten Golden Body Devouring Heaven Clan probably hadn’t had time to return deep into the core area yet. Jing Yan could exploit this time difference.

If the Marshal personally leaves the lair to hunt down Jing Yan on the core area’s outskirts, Jing Yan’s expedition to the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress’s lair to scout the super wormhole node would be safer. Of course, the Marshal might not leave the lair, given that establishing the super wormhole is his most critical task.

Regardless, Jing Yan was determined to venture forth.

With the Time-Space Chain in his possession, it was unlikely the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress had another Time-Space Chain. As long as he was careful, in case of real peril, he could activate the Transmission Treasure to escape.

Over ten Golden Body All Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan frantically searched for Jing Yan. While they failed to find him, they did find the concealed Jiao Baiding. Jiao Baiding was among the fifteen who entered the fortress, the only one besides Jing Yan still inside. As other divine souls fell, realizing the great danger, he immediately concealed himself.

However, he was still discovered by more than ten Golden Body All Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan. Jiao Baiding, a second-tier All Things Realm being, seeing over ten Golden Body All Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan charging at him, wasted no time activating his Transmission Treasure to escape the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress.

After Jiao Baiding also left, Jing Yan was the only one left inside the fortress.

Jing Yan continued to delve into the core area, directly deploying Divine Soul Storm and Divine Soul Wind Blade to annihilate all Devouring Sky Clan members he encountered, ranging from Earth Realm, Dao Skill Realm to ordinary All Things Realm. Everywhere he passed was filled with desolation, leaving behind countless Devouring Sky Clan creature corpses.

"Where could it be?"

"This super wormhole will be completed in about a month, leaving us Chaos Creatures little time." Jing Yan had searched many places but hadn’t yet found the specific location of the super wormhole.

Though he hadn’t found the super wormhole, Jing Yan discovered the lair of the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress, which was noticeably different from other areas.

Jing Yan didn’t rashly enter this lair.

Inside, there’s likely a Devouring Sky Clan Marshal at the Controller Level. He spent some time searching near the lair, circled almost the entire perimeter, yet found no super wormhole. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

This means there’s over a ninety percent chance the super wormhole is hidden inside the lair.
