The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 1187: Heavy Losses

Top layer of the Void Divine Ship, the residence of Rui An.

It was already the seventh day since Rui Yi was ordered to pursue Alchemist Yan Jin.

Though six or seven days had passed, Rui An was not anxious at all. The Void Divine Ship was to remain here for a whole year, and departure was still far off.

"Hmm?"

Rui An, who was slightly resting with closed eyes, suddenly felt a tremor in his Divine Soul, a sensation spreading like needles piercing through his Divine Soul Body.

"What’s going on?" Rui An abruptly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room where he was alone.

"Rui Yi is dead?" Rui An stood up, his face filled with an expression of disbelief.

Rui Yi was his slave, with whom he had established a Divine Soul Contract. Even if the slave died while far away, the master could instantly sense it.

To some extent, the slave and master could be said to be one entity.

Between master and servant, there is an intangible connection in the Divine Soul.

A Martial Artist establishing a Divine Soul Contract with a slave also needs to pay a certain price. The price is to leave a small amount of Divine Soul Power in the slave’s Divine Soul Body. Because of this, a single thought from the master can scatter the slave’s soul.

The unexpected death of a slave also has some influence on the master’s Divine Soul. This influence isn’t large but can’t be entirely ignored. The stronger the slave’s Cultivation, the greater the impact on the master if they die unexpectedly.

Thus, a Martial Artist cannot establish an unlimited number of Divine Soul Contracts with slaves.

At this moment, Rui An’s Divine Soul was somewhat affected, which was why he had that needle-pricking pain.

"How is this possible? Rui Yi went to pursue Yan Jin, how could he die?" After confirming Rui Yi’s death, Rui An anxiously stomped his foot.

He couldn’t understand how this happened.

In his view, Alchemist Yan Jin certainly couldn’t kill Rui Yi. Regardless of Yan Jin, even aboard this Void Divine Ship, besides him, Rui An, there was no one else who could easily kill the Quasi Main God Rui Yi, who mastered Super Divine Ability.

If Rui Yi truly encountered a Main God Strong Person, even if he wasn’t a match, he would definitely have time to use the Communication Crystal Stone to send back a message.

Yet Rui An had no idea that during Rui Yi’s battle with Jing Yan, he was killed because at the last moment Jing Yan comprehended the Super Divine Ability Sword Intent Domain. After Jing Yan came to understand the Sword Intent Domain, with just two swords, he eliminated the nearly berserk Rui Yi.

Rui Yi truly had no time to take out the Communication Crystal Stone to send a message. It all happened too quickly, like a flash of lightning. Moreover, in the end, Rui Yi didn’t even have the thought to communicate with Rui An.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Rui An growled lowly.

The death of Rui Yi was a huge loss for him. What was the value of a Quasi Main God slave who mastered Super Divine Ability?

"Everyone, get in here!" Rui An shouted toward the door outside the room.

Soon, four other Guardian Personal Guards entered the room.

"Master!" The four bowed.

"Rui Yi is dead, go see what happened. If you find that Yan Jin, kill him immediately!" Rui An ordered with a grim face.

The four of them had a slight change in expression upon hearing about Rui Yi but quickly returned to normal.

The four responded, then turned and left.

Meanwhile, in the arena zone of the Void Divine Ship’s middle layer, Wen Zhuo also quickly received the corresponding news.

"Rui Yi and Shen Jun haven’t returned, and the other four Guardian Personal Guards have been dispatched. It seems... I tried to overestimate the strength of God Alchemist Yan Jin, but in fact, I still underestimated it," Wen Zhuo squinted slightly.

"Where did this monster Alchemist Yan Jin come from? It seems that in the God Realm’s future, this God Alchemist Yan Jin is destined to shine brightly!" Wen Zhuo mused, "My investment is, indeed, correct."

In the Endless Void!

After slaying Rui Yi, Jing Yan immediately seized the Chained Black Claw and Sumeru Ring left behind by Rui Yi.

This Chained Black Claw possessed even greater power than his Colorful Cloud Sword. Though it hadn’t reached the level of an Acquired Spiritual Treasure, it was between a High Grade Divine Artifact and an Acquired Spiritual Treasure.

"So poor?" Jing Yan muttered after infiltrating Rui Yi’s Sumeru Ring with his Divine Thought.

Rui Yi’s Sumeru Ring contained only a small number of level-five Divine Crystals and a pitiful amount of elixirs.

"It seems that old bastard Rui An treats his Guardian Personal Guards poorly!" Jing Yan shook his head.

He moved his mind, took out Rui Yi’s Communication Crystal Stone, and with a surge of Divine Power, instantly reduced it to nothingness.

"I can’t stay here long, I must leave immediately!" Jing Yan used the Nihility Divine Ability and frantically activated his Divine Power to repeatedly perform it.

He had battled Rui Yi for three or four days, and perhaps some had noticed. Staying here any longer was too dangerous.

After continuously using the Nihility Divine Ability, he flew frenziedly for ten hours, and then Jing Yan stopped and entered the Qiankun Small World.

"Senior Yan Jin?" Gui Ben in the Qiankun Small World came to greet Jing Yan as soon as he saw him.

Jing Yan gestured to Gui Ben.

"Senior Yan Jin, are you... hurt?" Gui Ben asked nervously upon seeing Jing Yan’s tattered clothes, stained with blood.

"Yes." Jing Yan nodded, "It’s nothing now, but I must immediately go into seclusion to heal. Gui Ben, you stay here, and do not disturb me until I emerge."

With those words, Jing Yan sat down.

The battle with Rui Yi was extremely perilous. If it weren’t for comprehending the Sword Intent Domain at the last moment, the outcome would have been uncertain. Even after finally beheading Rui Yi, during the entire confrontation, Jing Yan did not come out unscathed. Now, he needed to go into seclusion to heal and recover fully.

With enough Divine Crystals and elixirs, Jing Yan’s injuries were not a significant concern. As long as the depleted energy was replenished, and with the operation of the Daluo Immortal Body, everything would be fine; after all, his Dao Palace and Divine Soul Body remained unaffected.

Within only a few days, Jing Yan had fully recovered and changed into a brand-new blue long robe.

However, Jing Yan did not emerge from seclusion but continued to comprehend the newly realized Sword Intent Domain. Having just comprehended the Super Divine Ability Sword Intent Domain, Jing Yan needed to familiarize himself with it quickly.

The Sword Intent Domain evolved directly from the Third Realm Sword Intent Divine Ability, so it wasn’t a prototype of any form. Once familiar with it and adjustments made, the Sword Intent Domain would be a genuine First Realm Super Divine Ability.

A year had passed.

The top layer of the Void Divine Ship.

"Master! We failed, we couldn’t find any trace of that Yan Jin!" The four Guardian Personal Guards lowered their heads.

They found the place where Jing Yan fought Rui Yi, but there was nothing to discover. Afterwards, the four of them pursued in the direction of the Jade Stream Divine Domain’s safe haven, but even nearing the Jade Stream Divine Domain, they couldn’t locate Jing Yan.
