The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 1954: Seeking Fortune Amidst Danger

After leaving the site where the Golden Body Devouring Heaven Clan was slain, Jing Yan took extra precautions and used the Fate Dao to conceal his aura.

Upon confirming safety, Jing Yan entered the Qiankun World. A mass of milky yellow Divine Soul Energy was still struggling fiercely, wrapped in the Power of Laws.

Without hesitation, Jing Yan directly spread his Divine Soul Power and absorbed the Divine Soul Energy of the Golden Body All-Things Realm Devouring Heaven Clan Creature.

Feeling his Divine Soul Body quickly improving, Jing Yan almost couldn’t help but hum in satisfaction.

It was so refreshing!

Although the Devouring Heaven Clan Creatures were detestable and always disrupting the Endless Chaos, their Divine Soul Energy was indeed a unique treasure. It was immensely beneficial to the Divine Soul Body of Chaos Creatures.

As expected, after absorbing this mass of Divine Soul Energy, Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body strength increased by about forty percent. Now, Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Strength was more than double what it was during the Mid-stage of Everything Realm.

With the increase in Divine Soul Strength, Jing Yan could see his cultivation path more clearly.

At this moment, Jing Yan felt many new insights. The Sixth Layer of the Hongmeng Dao Pattern was almost within reach, and if resources were available, Jing Yan might be able to master the Sixth Layer of the Hongmeng Dao Pattern now. Unfortunately, his stock of Star Stones was dwindling, not to mention resources for cultivating the Hongmeng Dao Pattern.

"Should I inform the Hongjun Heavenly Palace about the Devouring Heaven Clan Mother?"

"The guardians within the space hidden by this Mother are likely frightening, far scarier than the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress. With my current power, even if I find the hidden space of the Mother, going inside would be futile. I cannot possibly destroy the Mother; there will certainly be Devouring Heaven Clan creatures at the Controller Level, likely in large numbers."

Jing Yan pondered.

He’s only at the Late Stage of All Things Realm; even if he reached the Controller Level, destroying a Devouring Heaven Clan Mother wouldn’t be feasible. If it were that easy to destroy a Mother, Chaos Creatures wouldn’t have only managed to destroy two Devouring Heaven Clan Mothers so far.

It took the cooperation of several Ultimate Strong People to destroy those two Mothers successfully.

Jing Yan might only be able to destroy a Devouring Heaven Clan Mother if he reaches the level of Ultimate Strong People.

"However! Even if I report this to the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, what can they do? Notify other Ultimate Strong People to come searching?"

"That would be dangerous for me."

"The Void Divine Palace Master and that Wei Zhen are my enemies."

"No, I can’t disclose this! If the Hongjun Heavenly Palace alone could find and eliminate the Devouring Heaven Clan Mother, then I should notify them. But the Hongjun Heavenly Palace can’t accomplish this alone, not even with Ancestor Hong Jun in the palace, and the Ancestor is not presently there."

"Forget it, I’ll take it one step at a time! I’ll first try to locate the hidden space of the Devouring Heaven Clan Mother and act according to circumstances." Jing Yan quickly made up his mind.

He decided not to spread this matter!

Jing Yan continued to explore this area, based on information fragments gathered from the Divine Soul of the Golden Body All-Things Realm Devouring Heaven Clan, combined with the tracking sense of the Fate Dao, and began a meticulous search.

The Devouring Heaven Clan Mother certainly wouldn’t be in plain sight. If a Devouring Heaven Clan Mother is truly hidden in this area, it would surely be in an exceptionally hard-to-detect layered space.

Just a few days later, Jing Yan discovered a peculiar layered space. Upon identifying the location of this layered space, Jing Yan hesitated.

This layered space may contain the hidden space of the Devouring Heaven Clan Mother or just be an ordinary layer of space. In chaotic regions, such layered spaces aren’t uncommon. Sometimes, a layered space might hide a small or micro continent.

Without entering, Jing Yan can’t ascertain anything. If he just waits here, it’s hard to say how long it would take for Devouring Heaven Clan Creatures to emerge from it. If Jing Yan had abundant resources, he wouldn’t mind the wait, but he’s already low on resources, so waiting here would be too wasteful.

"Screw it!"

"Why worry so much? Being timid, how can I enter the Controller Level early?" Jing Yan hardened his resolve, gritting his teeth as he said quietly, his eyes flashing.

With a gentle flicker, his figure vanished. Jing Yan soon appeared within the layered space.

"Indeed..."

"There are many traces of Devouring Heaven Clan Creatures here, it’s at least a gathering place!" Jing Yan sensed the chaotic aura within the space.

Everywhere was filled with Devouring Heaven Clan Creature auras. Even if there’s no Devouring Heaven Clan Mother here, there must be a large number of Devouring Heaven Clan Creatures. Moreover, this layered space is vast. The concentration of chaos material here is much richer than outside in the chaotic region. With abundant Devouring Heaven Clan Creature activity and chaos material, the likelihood of this being a Devouring Heaven Clan Mother’s lair is high.

If there’s no Devouring Heaven Clan Mother, and it’s only ordinary Devouring Heaven Clan Creatures, they should have devoured most of the chaos material by now.

Jing Yan carefully gathered his aura and began to move within this space.

Devouring Sky Clan Fortress!

More than a month later, during which Jing Yan killed several Devouring Heaven Clan Creatures, he discovered a Devouring Sky Clan Fortress one day.

This Devouring Sky Clan Fortress resembled the one in the Western Region, so Jing Yan recognized it immediately upon seeing it. Spotting the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress, Jing Yan was over ninety percent confident there was a Devouring Heaven Clan Mother here.

This time, Jing Yan hesitated no longer; he chose to enter this Devouring Sky Clan Fortress.

Luckily, he hadn’t reached the Controller Level; otherwise, even discovering the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress would be to no avail. Unless he had enough power to damage it with brute force, entering a Devouring Sky Clan Fortress is impossible. Destroying a Devouring Sky Clan Fortress is something not even one Ultimate Strong Person could achieve alone.

Only a tea time after entering the fortress.

"Hah!" Jing Yan took a deep breath.

Within a tea time inside the fortress, he discovered a gathering place for Devouring Heaven Clan Creatures, with an enormous scale. Just a slight sensing with Divine Thought revealed the aura of over a hundred ordinary All Things Realm Devouring Heaven Clan Creatures.

To come across such a large Devouring Heaven Clan camp in such a short time, there are only two possibilities. Either Jing Yan simply had incredible luck, stumbling upon after just entering. The other possibility is that the number of Devouring Heaven Clan Creatures inside this fortress is overwhelmingly large, to the extent that finding such a sizeable gathering place doesn’t require much effort.
