The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 930 Huge Trouble

The energy wave was faint from a distance, but that did not prevent Jing Yan from sensing it. This wave carried primordial energy from a martial artist mixed within it.

Yi Xiang and the others soon sensed the energy wave as well.

"This is... could it be that the original inhabitants and the Divine Clan have started fighting?" Yi Xiang’s face tightened.

It was possible that the martial artists from the two camps would battle for more Ancestors of Principles-associated treasures.

"It’s possible. However, unless the circumstances are unusual, they shouldn’t resort to fighting. They should know that large-scale fights between the two camps would benefit neither side," Jing Yan mused.

"We’ll know if we go take a look," Mr. Zhong said casually.

"Yes, let’s go check it out," Jing Yan nodded.

The group increased their speed, moving toward the rear.

Finding treasures here did not necessarily mean that haste would give a definite advantage. Arriving early didn’t guarantee more rewards than those who arrived later. Luck was more critical here.

"There it is..."

Jing Yan and the others witnessed the scene of a battle.

A massive beast, entirely black with a single horn on its head, was launching frenzied attacks. This beast, brimming with terrifying power, resembled a small mountain.

The other side was using powerful holy artifacts for defense, with numerous martial artists attacking the beast continuously. Brilliant flashes of light dispelled the surrounding darkness.

"What kind of beast is that? Such terrifying power and incredible defense, most of the attacks hitting it barely leave any noticeable wounds," Yi Xiang exclaimed in shock.

"That’s a divine beast!"

"It’s called an Earth Dragon, a true divine beast, not comparable to those spiritual or pseudo-divine beasts," Mr. Zhong focused his eyes. "Although in the God Realm, the Earth Dragon is considered a low-level divine beast, its destructive power is formidable. Even a low-level Void God would struggle to kill an Earth Dragon."

"There’s actually a divine beast here!" Jing Yan was also surprised.

"That’s quite normal. To some extent, divine beasts are more sensitive to certain heavenly treasures than we humans are. This Earth Dragon possibly sensed the aura of the Ancestor of Principles and settled here before it emerged," Mr. Zhong explained.

Jing Yan nodded.

"The ones fighting the Earth Dragon seem to be the Divine Clan," Jing Yan said, observing through the energy barrier, recognizing that those battling the Earth Dragon were strangers and not the original inhabitants they had encountered earlier.

"Indeed, the Divine Clan is fighting the Earth Dragon. They’re in trouble. The Earth Dragon’s defense is extremely strong. To hurt the Earth Dragon, a half-step Void God would have to use a powerful holy artifact. Ordinary Saint Realm practitioners can’t even break through the Earth Dragon’s defense. Though the Earth Dragon is a regular low-level divine beast with limited attack methods, relying solely on its brute strength, the Divine Clan, with their numbers, should eventually be able to kill it. However, their losses will be significant, possibly resulting in many Saint Realm martial artists’ deaths," Mr. Zhong said indifferently.

"Mr. Zhong, aren’t you planning to help them?" Jing Yan looked at Mr. Zhong.

"Why should I help them? I’m not familiar with them," Mr. Zhong chuckled.

Jing Yan also laughed.

As Mr. Zhong said, the Divine Clan’s half-step Void God’s martial artists could indeed inflict some wounds on the Earth Dragon, but none severe. They could only wear it down slowly. Meanwhile, the Earth Dragon’s powerful attacks would occasionally kill Saint Realm martial artists, even with strong defense holy artifacts protecting them.

They were not killed by direct bites or slaps but rather by the lethal shockwaves from its terrifying power.

Watching from afar, Jing Yan had no intention of helping. Jing Yan had no favorable feelings towards the Divine Clan despite his mother, Chu Lianxing, being from the Divine Clan. Jing Yan’s sympathies lay with the original inhabitants.

"Hmm?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"There’s another battle happening in a different direction?" Jing Yan soon sensed another distinct energy wave.

This time, the energy wave came from the opposite direction.

"It seems so! This should be... the Natives Camp. Could they have also encountered a divine beast?" Mr. Zhong frowned.

"Let’s go see," Jing Yan said solemnly.

On the other side, indeed, the original inhabitants had also encountered a divine beast.

The divine beast they faced was not the Earth Dragon encountered by the Divine Clan but a much smaller, fire-red divine beast. This beast had eight legs, was incredibly fast, and kept charging at the formation of the natives’ camp.

"It’s a Fire Poison Scorpion!" Mr. Zhong’s eyes narrowed.

His expression was far more serious compared to when he saw the Earth Dragon.

The Fire Poison Scorpion had eight legs and a sharp, deep-red tail longer than its body. When it attacked, it emitted a sharp, piercing screech. This screech was a sonic attack wave. Even hearing it from afar made people uncomfortable, affecting their divine souls. The closer the distance, the more significant the impact.

"Is the Fire Poison Scorpion difficult to deal with?" Jing Yan asked.

"Yes. The Fire Poison Scorpion, like the Earth Dragon, is a low-level divine beast. However, in the God Realm, if a low-level Void God had a choice, most would rather fight the Earth Dragon. The Earth Dragon’s attacks are straightforward, relying on its strong defense and brute force. The Fire Poison Scorpion, however, not only has sonic attacks but also carries deadly poison. If a Void God is poisoned by the Fire Poison Scorpion and doesn’t detoxify quickly, they could die. And typical Detoxification Pills won’t work against the Fire Poison Scorpion’s poison."

"More critically, the Fire Poison Scorpion’s speed is astonishing. Most low-level Void Gods aren’t as fast as the Fire Poison Scorpion. In a fight with a Fire Poison Scorpion, most low-level Void Gods would only be at its mercy," Mr. Zhong said, taking a deep breath.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, the original inhabitants’ camp will suffer heavy losses this time. To kill a divine beast like the Fire Poison Scorpion, they would need a Binding Array Formation or very powerful holy artifacts with strong suppressive abilities," Mr. Zhong concluded accurately.

Jing Yan frowned deeply.

He could also see the Fire Poison Scorpion’s attack pattern.

In terms of brute strength, the Fire Poison Scorpion was far inferior to the Earth Dragon. But the original inhabitants’ martial artists were helpless against it. Their attacks struggled to hit the Fire Poison Scorpion due to its incredible speed.

Their defense holy artifacts created energy shields that blocked most of the Fire Poison Scorpion’s attacks but couldn’t completely defend against them. Any slight breach in the shield would allow the scorpion’s tail to pierce through and deliver its deadly poison.
