NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1369: Passed
The intense battle between Jing Yan and the Suo Yiren continued relentlessly.
Suo Yiren maintained a steady pace in his duel against Jing Yan, seemingly in no hurry to defeat him.
Jing Yan, on the other hand, did not rush to unleash his Domain Power. He felt that relying solely on his Divine Power Realm to battle against Suo Yiren greatly enhanced his combat skills and other aspects.
They clashed for three days and nights.
"Sword Intent Domain!" Jing Yan felt it was time and unleashed the Third Realm Sword Intent Domain.
The condensed sword light's power surged fiercely. The space-tearing sword light swept toward Suo Yiren.
"Haha, you little one, you've made me your sparring partner. After three days of fighting, you finally decided to use a Domain. The Third Realm Sword Intent Domain is quite impressive, but it's far from enough to defeat me!"
Suo Yiren chuckled.
With a flick of his black fishing rod, the silvery-white fishing line seemed to entwine Jing Yan's Sword Intent Domain, tearing it apart instantly. Suo Yiren purely relied on his Divine Power Realm to swiftly shatter Jing Yan's Sword Intent Domain.
Indeed, it was overwhelmingly powerful!
Jing Yan held his breath, unable to comprehend how this Suo Yiren, clearly a martial artist of the Nine Tripods Main God Realm, wielded such terrifying power solely with his Divine Power Realm. His Third Realm Sword Intent Domain felt utterly fragile before him.
"Ultimate Red Flame!" Jing Yan unleashed the Ultimate Red Flame Domain, which he had only recently mastered.
The scorching aura filled the space, with a dreadful temperature that seemed capable of burning everything to ashes.
"An Ultimate Red Flame Domain?"
"Impressive! Quite interesting! Young one, your talent is indeed remarkable. At only a few thousand years old, you can master the Ultimate Red Flame Domain. Yes, very impressive. Throughout countless years, many martial artists have come to me. You are among the stronger ones." Suo Yiren nodded slightly at Jing Yan as he spoke.
The speed of his fishing rod noticeably increased.
Jing Yan's Ultimate Red Flame seemed to pose a certain threat to Suo Yiren. However, the Ultimate Red Flame Domain gradually dissolved under the rapid swings of Suo Yiren's fishing rod.
At this moment, Jing Yan's heart sank uncontrollably.
Even after unleashing the Ultimate Red Flame Domain, Suo Yiren had not used any Domain Power but managed to extinguish the Red Flame Domain. How terrifying was this Suo Yiren!
"Gravity Domain!"
"Ultimate Nihility! Ultimate Red Flame!" Jing Yan was ready to go all out.
The incredible strength of this Suo Yiren surpassed his imagination. He initially thought his current strength could rival a Second-tier God Master in the God Realm. Among the Nine Tripods Main God Realm of the Nine Great Divine Realms, he should be the top.
Yet, now facing Suo Yiren, who didn't even use any Domain Power, he dispelled Jing Yan's Ultimate Red Flame. It was indeed a significant blow to Jing Yan.
How could a Nine Tripods Main God be so powerful?
The Third Realm Gravity Domain restricted Suo Yiren's movements. Ultimate Nihility allowed Jing Yan to approach swiftly. The Ultimate Red Flame, combined with the Third Realm Sword Intent Domain, brought forth a sword light with a terrifying power that crushed toward Suo Yiren.
Suo Yiren's expression finally altered slightly!
Since Jing Yan met Suo Yiren, it was the first time a serious expression appeared on Suo Yiren's face.
"Swoosh!" Suo Yiren swiftly moved his arm.
A light curtain suddenly manifested before him. Despite its thin appearance, it radiated extremely astonishing energy fluctuations. Jing Yan also sensed five distinct attributes of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth from this light curtain.
"Boom!" The sword light released by Jing Yan heavily struck the light curtain manifested by Suo Yiren.
The seemingly thin curtain rippled with waves. Behind the light curtain, Suo Yiren's figure became blurred.
"Succeeded?"
Jing Yan widened his eyes, staring intently ahead, full of anticipation.
This strike was nearly Jing Yan's most potent attack. If even such an attack couldn't defeat Suo Yiren, then Jing Yan truly had no idea how he could pass this first Heavenly Venerate Mountain.
In the distorted space, various brilliance gradually faded. The scene within slowly became clear.
"What?" Jing Yan mouthed silently, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes!
Suo Yiren stood unharmed in place. His near most powerful attack caused no harm to Suo Yiren. Jing Yan didn't even see any sign of Suo Yiren stepping back.
In other words, facing that strike, Suo Yiren completely repelled it with just that calm light curtain.
"Impossible!" Jing Yan, after a brief moment of daze, rekindled his fighting spirit.
In the Divine Sea, the Divine Core Flower gently quivered, igniting divine power, and his whole body's blood felt like it was about to burn.
"Alright!" Suo Yiren raised his arm and spoke to Jing Yan.
His gaze looked at Jing Yan with a subtle smile.
"Young one, you are indeed impressive! To master two Ultimate Domains at such a young age, you are considered a top-tier genius in the entire universe." Suo Yiren said slowly.
"What do you mean, senior?" Jing Yan's eyes flickered with a hint of brightness.
"I mean, you've passed my test. I deem you worthy of obtaining my master's legacy." Suo Yiren smiled and nodded at Jing Yan, continuing, "However, my approval alone isn't enough. You also need to pass the second Heavenly Venerate Mountain. If you can conquer the second Heavenly Venerate Mountain, you may leave this place you call the Land of Descent!"
"Go ahead! At the top of this Heavenly Venerate Mountain, there's a Teleportation Array. Enter it, and you'll reach the second Heavenly Venerate Mountain!" Suo Yiren stepped aside, clearing the path.
"Senior, it didn't seem like you lost!" Jing Yan opened his eyes wide, looking at Suo Yiren with some doubt.
This Suo Yiren, let alone being defeated or wounded, didn't even step back.
"Haha, you forced me to use the Five Elements Domain, so I consider myself already defeated." Suo Yiren chuckled.
"In the chaos, there aren't many Nine Tripods Main Gods who can compel me to use the Five Elements Domain. Even when suppressing my realm to the Nine Tripods Main God level." Suo Yiren continued, "If my master were alive and met a young talent like you, he might have really liked you!"
Suo Yiren's gaze looked into the distance, as if reminiscing about the past, recalling his master, the Ancient Heavenly Venerate who created the Land of Descent.
