Chapter 221: Three Swords Gather For A Battle
Ye Guan had no choice but to face the oncoming wave of Everlasting Will by himself.
The Everlasting Will had become akin to a tidal wave, and Ye Guan’s expression turned solemn at the sight of it. It was just a will, but it was an ancient will that carried with it a bone-chilling might.
Casting aside his thoughts, Ye Guan jumped.
A sword force blossomed from him.
Boom!
The sword force created a tempest of sword energy that formed a sword, and it flew toward the oncoming wave of Everlasting Will, destroying spacetime on its way to its target.
Ye Guan went all-out on the offensive against the Everlasting Will. The sword appeared to be indestructible, but it disintegrated with a deafening explosion the moment it made contact with the Everlasting Will.
Ye Guan’s pupils constricted.
Moments later, he felt as if he had been struck by an iron hammer. A powerful force sent him flying a few hundred meters away, and he landed in the sea of blood. A ten-meter-tall column of blood rose, sending ripples throughout the sea of blood.
An Nanjing stared calmly at the sea of blood.
Splash!
A young man emerged and crawled out of the sea of blood. He lay on the ground, breathing heavily. His fleshy body was ripped apart, and blood incessantly poured out of his wounds. His chest and arms were in bad shape, and his right arm was in a mess. One could even see Ye Guan’s bones behind his wounds.
Ye Guan’s injuries were heavy, so he hurriedly consumed a few spiritual pills. Pure energy spread throughout his body, and he recovered rather quickly. Ye Guan smiled bitterly and sighed.
The Everlasting Will was incredibly strong.
The sword attack that he had unleashed just now was made using the full extent of his ability as a Great Sword Sovereign, yet he failed to even scratch the Everlasting Will.
Ye Guan suffered a complete defeat, but he was thrilled.
A woman crawled out of the sea of blood not too far away from Ye Guan. She cleaned her face and frowned slightly upon sensing Ye Guan staring at her.
Ye Guan was stunned. The woman’s visage was unsightly, as a large crimson birthmark marred the right side of her face. She sustained heavy injuries, and blood incessantly seeped out of her wounds. She also looked utterly exhausted, but she remained on high alert as she stared at Ye Guan.
After thinking for a while, Ye Guan opened his palm.
A spiritual pill floated over to the woman.
It was an Immortal-grade spiritual pill. Aside from money and a few treasures, Ye Guan didn’t have that many possessions, but he still decided to be kind to others.
Of course, he was aware that he had to be frugal to continue cultivating without running out of money. However, Ye Guan’s mind changed completely upon seeing the pills in the storage ring that Qin Feng had handed over to him.
He had a few million Immortal-grade spiritual pills along with a million Divine-grade spiritual pills.
What happened to living a frugal life? It seemed that he didn’t have to do that anymore. After eighteen years of hardship, he could finally live a good life.
The woman was surprised to see the Immortal-grade spiritual pill. She looked at Ye Guan in confusion, and Ye Guan smiled at her before saying, “It’s just an Immortal-grade spiritual pill. You don’t have to be so surprised. It’s nothing.”
The woman stared deeply at Ye Guan for a few moments before taking out a medicinal pill. The thick scent of herbs pervaded the air, and the surrounding spiritual energy converged on the woman.
Ye Guan was stunned. It was actually a Supreme Divine-grade spiritual pill! The woman locked eyes with Ye Guan as she ate the pill, and Ye Guan stiffened like a frozen statue.
She opened her palm and handed the pill in her hand to Ye Guan.
Ye Guan was silent for a while before saying, “I’m sorry, I had no idea that you were so rich. I don’t have any other intentions, really…”
The woman remained silent, but she still accepted the Immortal-grade spiritual pill floating in front of her. She walked away and sat down cross-legged.
She placed her hands in front of her chest and gesticulated. An array abruptly appeared above her head, and what looked like an endless stream of spiritual energy surged toward her.
Ye Guan was puzzled. “Mater Pagoda, what is she doing?”
Master Pagoda replied, “I have no idea.”
Ye Guan frowned.
Fortunately, the mysterious voice chimed in, “Her background isn’t simple. She has just employed an ancient array that will heal her spirit and wounds. You sustained roughly the same injuries as her, but you need fifteen minutes to heal using a Supreme Divine-grade spiritual pill.
”However, she’ll only need a few minutes to achieve the same effect, and it’s all thanks to the ancient array that she is using. It looks like she can only maintain that array for an hour, but I’m sure she can maintain that array for an entire month the moment she comprehends its intricacies.”
The woman’s wounds had healed. She glanced at Ye Guan before rushing toward the summit of the mountain. Ye Guan’s expression changed. The mysterious voice was right!
“You’re in a place that a group of Cosmic Spirits created to rebel against the domineering True God of the True Universe,” The mysterious voice explained, “Only those with powerful backgrounds can possibly come here, so you better not underestimate any of them.”
Ye Guan nodded. “I understand.”
He stood up and faced the mountain with determination.
The group of cultivators who were sent flying by the Everlasting Will stared at the summit. They were calm and composed. Evidently, they had long grown accustomed to the Everlasting Will’s attacks.
Ye Guan fell into deep contemplation while walking toward the mountain.
The Everlasting Will had just sent him flying. It was just a sliver of will, but he reckoned that he could look back on it and comprehend something.
He suddenly thought of something, and he asked, “Senior, how come the Everlasting Will still exists?”
The mysterious voice explained, “The body can die, the spirit can go, and the bones can break, but the will is eternal! the Unyielding Sovereign perished many years ago, but his will has remained true to its name—everlasting.”
Ye Guan asked, “Is the True God like the Everlasting Will?”
The mysterious voice said, “Perhaps, but you shouldn’t think about that for now.”
Ye Guan nodded and said, “I understand.”
He looked up and stared intently at the summit. It had been millions of years since the Unyielding Sovereign perished, but his Everlasting Will remained stubborn and unyielding.
A will! Ye Guan closed his eyes. He felt small and insignificant in front of an elite like the Unyielding Sovereign. When he defeated Lu Tian, Ye Guan had been trying his best to remain humble, but deep inside, he felt very accomplished.
He was the youngest Great Sword Sovereign in the history of the Guanxuan Universe, and he was unparalleled among his peers, so of course, he was proud of his achievement!
However, Ye Guan felt that his title and current achievements were insignificant. He was just a small fry in front of ancient elites, and he was just celebrating his insignificant achievements as if those mattered in the bigger picture.
Ye Guan chuckled.
Little Pagoda asked, “What’s funny?”
“Me. My foolishness is hilarious,” Ye Guan answered.
Confused, Little Pagoda asked, “What do you mean?”
Ye Guan took in a deep breath and explained, “Why are two crickets in a bottle fighting each other despite living in a utopia? It’s all because they’re confined in a small cage and have become narrow-sighted.
”I’m saying that I shouldn’t use the Guanxuan Universe as a measurement stick for my achievements. I should keep in mind that there’s always a higher mountain out there.
”It’s hilarious how foolish I have been for being proud of myself after becoming the unparalleled genius of the Guanxuan Universe.
”My ambitions have to be greater than the Guanxuan Universe. I shouldn’t be complacent and settle for what I’ve accomplished so far.
”I don’t want to be the strongest in the Guanxuan Universe. I want to be the strongest everywhere!”
Boom!
A powerful sword might exploded from Ye Guan. The sword might of a Great Sword Sovereign gushed out of him as if he were a broken pipe. Ye Guan picked up the pace and laughed boisterously as he charged toward the summit.
The mysterious voice laughed heartily and said, “Great! How brilliant! This young man’s personality is just great! If Destiny hadn’t passed her inheritance onto him, I would have told him to inherit my martial art!”
Little Pagoda asked, “Is he going to make a breakthrough?”
“No,” said the mysterious voice. She paused for a moment before continuing. “His Dao has evolved once more again. A cultivator’s Dao is split into three phases in this universe, and his Dao has finally stabilized in the second phase. At this rate, his Dao will soon be completed, and it won’t be that difficult for him to reach the Ephemeral Realm by then.”
Little Pagoda said, “You can still teach him your ways. Teach him your martial arts, and I will take care of his mental health. We can work together and make sure that he becomes invincible.”
The mysterious voice was at a loss for words.
Ye Guan attracted everyone’s attention as he rushed like a meteor toward the summit.
What is he trying to do? They wondered.
Right as Ye Guan was about to reach the peak, a deafening explosion echoed.
Boom!
The powerful Everlasting Will lashed out. The others wore gloomy and worried expressions as they hurriedly raised their spiritual artifacts to defend themselves.
However, Ye Guan was all smiles as he stared at the oncoming wave of Everlasting Will. With much determination, he thrust his sword powerfully toward the Everlasting Will.
Was he not going to defend himself? Yes!
He was going to attack the Everlasting Will with all his might.
Boom!
Ye Guan’s sword shattered, and Ye Guan flew a hundred meters away.
He plunged into the sea of blood.
Splash!
A tall column of blood rose.
The others were also sent flying, and they all plunged into the sea of blood.
After a while, Ye Guan crawled out of the sea of blood and consumed a spiritual pill.
He recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The woman whose face was marred by a birthmark crawled out of the sea of blood.
She wiped her face clean and stared quietly at Ye Guan.
The others sat cross-legged to recover from their injuries.
Ye Guan soon recovered from his injuries, and he rushed toward the summit once more without any hesitation. However, he didn’t climb the mountain on foot but hopped onto his sword and flew toward the summit.
Everyone was shocked. What is he doing?! contemporary romance
Ye Guan approached the summit, and a powerful wave of Everlasting Will flew toward Ye Guan once more. To everyone’s astonishment, however, the wave of Everlasting Will this time was much stronger than the previous waves!
Boom!
Those who were climbing the mountain were sent flying away, and they plunged into the sea of blood. Ye Guan suffered the worst injuries out of them, but he pulled himself out of the sea of blood before meditating to recover from his injuries.
Everyone cast curious gazes on Ye Guan.
Most of them thought of him as a lunatic.
Ye Guan consumed another spiritual pill.
Soon, he was patched up, and he rushed toward the summit once more.
Nothing was going to stop him!
…
While Ye Guan was busy fighting against the Everlasting Will, a woman slowly walked across the starry skies of a distant universe. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and she was wearing a blood-red skirt with a wooden puppet in hand. Her eyes were cold, without any hint of emotions.
The woman abruptly stopped walking.
A swordsman wearing a long, white robe stood a few hundred meters away from her.
He was none other than the Unfettered Swordsman!
The Unfettered Swordsman smiled at the woman wearing a blood-red skirt.
“Can we fight now?” he asked.
Destiny calmly replied, “Sure!”
“We’re near the edge of the universe. We are surrounded by nothing but nothingness. We can fight here,” said the Unfettered Swordsman with a nod. He was about to draw his sword when Destiny suddenly shouted, “Wait!”
The Unfettered Swordsman cast a confused gaze on her.
However, Destiny ignored him and closed her eyes. Moments later, she set aside the wooden puppet in her hand and flicked her sleeve at the emptiness before shouting, “Yang Ye, come out!”
Boom!
A rift in spacetime manifested, and a man wearing a blue[1] robe walked out of the rift.
The blue-robed man stepped forward and appeared a few hundred meters away from Destiny.
All of a sudden, the blue-robed man turned around and burst out laughing. “It seems that my son has finally taken that step!”
“Don’t the two of you like to seek your own deaths? In that case…” Destiny trailed off, and she glared coldly at the two men before shouting, “Today shall be your death anniversary!”
“Sword, come!”
Boom!
Destiny’s roar caused a million stars to grow silent as multiple galaxies were annihilated in the proverbial blink of an eye. Quite a few Great Daos burned fiercely behind her as a sword landed in her hand—Qing Xuan—Qing’er and Ye Xuan!
The devastated galaxies and stars recovered the moment she gripped the sword.
Destiny glared at the two men and shouted, “Die!”
She then vanished, leaving behind nothing but a shrill noise along with a dazzling sword light. This was the first time she attacked with all her might in tens of thousands of years.
