Chapter 260: To The True Universe
Ye Guan was determined to kill the shameless idiot first before anyone else.
Mo Wulian was aghast.
He knew that Ye Guan’s sword was strong, but he didn’t expect it to be this strong.
His hair stood on end when Ye Guan wielded the Path Sword and rushed toward him. A feeling of impending doom gripped Mo Wulian’s heart, and he realized just then that he would die if he were to face Ye Guan’s sword head-on.
His heart pounded madly against his chest, and he was panicking.
What exactly was that sword? How could it be so strong?
Ruler An jumped in front of Mo Wulian. She opened her right hand and brought it down. The spacetime around Ye Guan quivered violently and turned into a stream of powerful yet ethereal energy that rushed toward Ye Guan.
A shrill noise echoed as the Path Sword carved a path in the middle of the spacetime torrent. The Path Sword seemed capable of destroying everything in its path.
Mu Tiandao had strengthened the surrounding spacetime, but it still couldn’t withstand the Path Sword.
Ruler An’s eyes narrowed; a trace of panic fleeted across her eyes. She didn’t dare to face the Path Sword, and her figure blurred as she reappeared a few hundred meters away from Ye Guan.
Shwing!
The torrent of spacetime was destroyed.
Meanwhile, the young talents on the Guanxuan Universe’s side rushed forward.
The powerful auras of roughly a thousand and five hundred cultivators inundated the Xuzhen Battlefield.
Han Zong stood at the helm of the crowd. He was a Physique Cultivator with the Unyielding Bones within him. He moved like a raging bull and clashed bravely with the young talents of the True Universe.
However, a young man quickly blocked his path. He was Nangong Yuan, and he was ranked eleventh on the True Martial List.
Nangong Yuan rushed toward Han Zong.
Han Zong’s figure blurred, and he disappeared. He didn’t run away. He exuded the oppressive aura of a towering mountain as he charged toward Nangong Yuan.
Boom!
Nangong Yuan was blasted away, and the space where he had been standing crumbled apart. Han Zong roared and rushed toward Nangong Yuan.
Nangong Yuan glared hatefully at Han Zong, and his figure turned into a dazzling streak of light that flew toward the latter.
A cacophony of noises filled the Xuzhen Battlefield, and the Xuzhen World quivered incessantly.
Ruler An stared deeply at Ye Guan. She then glanced at Mo Wulian and said, “Leave him to me.”
She had one job to do. She had to stop Ye Guan so that Mo Wulian could join the fray and fight the young talents of the Guanxuan Universe.
Ye Guan was the only one capable of fighting Mo Wulian. Without Ye Guan’s deterrence, Mo Wulian could easily slaughter the young talents of the Guanxuan Universe
Mo Wulian knew what Ruler An was thinking, and he turned his attention to the young talents of the Guanxuan Universe. However, a young woman abruptly appeared in front of him.
Ba Wan!
She was carrying a large bowl on her back, and she was munching on a chicken thigh while staring at Mo Wulian.
Mo Wulian frowned while staring at Ba Wan.
Just then, Ye Guan said, “Ba Wan, don’t hold back. Kill him if you can. I’ll cook you ten meals if you manage to kill him.”
Ba Wan’s eyes widened with glee, and she gasped. “Goodness… are you serious?”
Ye Guan nodded and exclaimed, “Yes!”
Ba Wan laughed boisterously as her gaze fell on Mo Wulian.
“You’re worth ten meals! All right, stay there and let me kill you!”
Ba Wan excitedly charged at Mo Wulian, and the spacetime beneath her feet was obliterated with a loud boom the moment she took a step forward to charge at Mo Wulian.
Mo Wulian’s expression changed. He didn’t dare to be careless. His figure vanished into a beam of light that took off to the skies to meet Ba Wan.
Boom!
The spacetime domain that Mo Wulian had unleashed was shattered the moment Mo Wulian’s attack collided with Ba Wan’s attack. A sorry figure plummeted to the ground, and it shockingly belonged to Mo Wulian.
Ruler An was filled with disbelief. She was well aware of Mo Wulian’s true prowess, so she was stupefied to see that an eccentric young woman carrying a large bowl on her back had actually managed to send Mo Wulian flying away.
Who was she?
Ruler An’s shocked gaze landed on Ba Wan.
However, Ba Wan didn’t even glance at Ruler An. Her gaze was fixed on Mo Wulian as she excitedly shouted, “Get ready to die!”
She hurled a punch at Mo Wulian.
Every inch of spacetime in the path of Ba Wan’s fist was annihilated, and the surrounding kilometer of spacetime crumbled as well, creating a frightening sight.
Mo Wulian’s eyes narrowed as he stared deeply at Bawan.
Moments later, quite a few streaks of brilliant light rushed out of him. Mo Wulian’s figure emitted a dazzling light, and the spacetime around him was torn apart as the streaks of brilliant light orbited him.
Boom!
However, the orbiting light failed to withstand the power of Ba Wan’s fist, forcing Mo Wulian to retreat.
Ba Wan chased after Mo Wulian. She wasn’t willing to let him go just like that, as he was worth ten meals in her eyes.
Ye Guan heaved a sigh of relief at the sight. He then turned toward Ruler An and saw her staring at him.
“Are you even a part of the younger generation?” asked Ye Guan.
Ruler An laughed and said, “I’m only twenty; am I not young?”
Twenty? Ye Guan went silent. Ruler An wasn’t lying because the members of the Guanxuan Universe’s older generation still hadn’t interfered in the fight.
Swoosh!
Ye Guan abruptly vanished. He wanted to end this as soon as possible. Ruler An’s eyes narrowed as she stared at the oncoming Ye Guan. She raised her right hand and brought it down.
Shwaaa!
Waves of spacetime loomed over Ye Guan, threatening to drown him. Ruler An wasn’t brave enough to face Ye Guan with the Path Sword in hand, so she decided to just stall for time and make sure that Ye Guan’s attention would stay on her.
Shiwk!
However, a dazzling streak of sword light flew across the battlefield. Ruler An gasped because Ye Guan had just turned around to attack the nearby young talents of the True Universe.
Ruler An wanted to stop Ye Guan, but a dozen heads were already in the air.
They were killed in the blink of an eye!
The Path Sword transformed Ye Guan into the incarnation of Death himself.
Aside from Ruler An, no one could withstand his attacks. Ruler An hurriedly jumped in front of him with a hateful glare. Ye Guan was basically forcing her to face him head-on.
However, Ye Guan merely glanced at her before vanishing.
Shwing!
A powerful yet ethereal streak of sword light fleeted across the Xuzhen Battlefield, and its target was the young talents of the Guanxuan Universe rather than Ruler An.
Ye Guan knew that there was no guarantee he could kill Ruler An, even with the Path Sword in hand, so he decided to switch targets and attack the young talents of the True Universe.
His figure was like a ghost dancing on the battlefield, and more than a dozen heads would fall to the ground whenever he attacked. Every target that unfortunately caught his eyes was killed in an instant.
The Path Sword was a weapon of mass destruction.
Ye Guan felt that he could kill as many Divine Spirits as he wanted, and he felt like he could even kill the True God as well.
Swoosh!
Ruler An flickered through the air. Her target wasn’t Ye Guan but the young talents of the Guanxuan Universe.
Boom!
Ruler An instantly killed a few dozen young talents of the Guanxuan Universe. She was one of the strongest elites of the True Universe, and she had already been bestowed the title Ruler despite her young age.
The young talents of the Guanxuan Universe were obviously not her match. Even Ye Guan had to use the Path Sword if he wanted to stand a chance against her.
Ruler An didn’t even bother to stop Ye Guan, as the latter was wielding the Path Sword. She decided to kill the young talents of the Guanxuan Universe to forcefully stop Ye Guan from doing the same to the young talents of the True Universe.
The two remained stubborn, and they seemed to be competing about who could kill the most number of young talents before the other party gave up.
However, Ye Guan was between a rock in a hard place upon realizing what Ruler An was trying to do here.
Stop Ruler An? It meant playing into her hand.
Furthermore, the Guanxuan Universe would be at a disadvantage without Ye Guan killing the young talents of the True Universe. If he were to stop Ruler An, the young talents of the Guanxuan Universe would still lose eventually.
Ye Guan’s expression darkened. What if he unleashed the viciousness in his heart and continued slaughtering the young talents of the True Universe? Ye Guan’s mind was at an impasse. In the end, he roared and swung his sword, sending dozens of heads into the air.
Ruler An’s expression was as cold as ice, but she didn’t back down.
She had no choice but to continue because the True Universe would suffer a great loss if she were to stop. A malevolent light flashed in her eyes as she rushed toward the young talents of the Guanxuan Universe.
Swoosh!
Ruler An killed quite a few young talents of the Guanxuan Universe in the blink of an eye. They couldn’t even attempt to defend themselves, as Ruler An was simply too strong for them to fight head-on.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan was deep in the Divine Spirit’s camp. Every time he brandished his sword, a few heads would go flying. His eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was beyond cold. He knew that the young talents of the Guanxuan Universe were dying every second, but there was nothing much that he could do aside from killing his enemies.
Ye Guan’s killing intent soon soared to new heights!
Just then, Ye Qing appeared in front of Ye Guan. Ye Qing had already recovered from his injuries, and he looked straight into Ye Guan’s eyes as he said, “Brother Ye Guan, we’re going to get wiped out at this rate.”
Ye Guan gripped the Path Sword in his hand tightly, and he was shivering in fury as he shouted, “Qianqian!”
Swoosh!
A dragon’s roar echoed throughout the battlefield, and a beam of white light melted into Ye Guan.
Boom!
Ye Guan’s aura surged like a blazing furnace.
Ruler An stopped and turned toward Ye Guan, but she wasn’t alone. The Divine Spirits were staring at Ye Guan, and their pupils quivered incessantly in fear.
“Ruler An, go ahead and kill as many of them as you please,” said Ye Guan to Ruler An before looking up and shouting, “Sky-Connecting Pagoda!”
Boom!
The illusory figure of a massive pagoda manifested overhead, and it gave off a terrifying and inscrutable energy fluctuations.
Ye Guan pointed at the pagoda with the Path Sword and yelled, “Open the Heavenly Gate!”
The pagoda emitted a dazzling light, and a brilliant streak of white light rushed toward the skies above it.
Boom!
The white light shattered the boundary between the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe, and a massive Heavenly Gate appeared. The Heavenly Gate towered at over a kilometer, and it led to the True Universe.
This was the Heavenly Gate’s second appearance, and the first time it appeared was thirty million years ago.
The Divine Spirits were beyond stupefied. What is Ye Guan going to do?
Ruler An glared angrily at Ye Guan. Ye Guan turned toward her and saw a pile of corpses around her. The young talents of the Guanxuan Universe had died with their eyes wide open. There was fear in their eyes, but they bravely glared at Ruler An.
Ye Guan stared deeply at the corpses before muttering, “I’m sorry…”
Moments later, Ye Guan turned his head back and roared, “Abandon the Guanxuan Universe! Those who can still fight shall follow me to the True Universe!”
Boom!
The ground beneath Ye Guan cracked open as he transformed into a streak of sword light that rushed toward the Heavenly Gate. The young talents of the Guanxuan Universe let out a battle cry as they followed closely behind Ye Guan.
They had decided to abandon the Guanxuan Universe and fight behind enemy lines.
