Milky Way.
The Person of Heavenly Mandate.
Atop the myriad mountains, everyone turned to look dozens of zhang behind Ye Guan. There stood a man with black hair and white brows, wearing brocade robes and cloud shoes, very plain.
The man had a faint smile on his face.
At this moment, everyone in the venue boiled with excitement.
The Person of Heavenly Mandate.
This was the Person of Heavenly Mandate, a terrifying existence destined to be invincible in his era.
It could be said that the identity of Person of Heavenly Mandate was even more resounding and attractive than Ye Guan’s identity as a sword cultivator.
After all, the unparalleled Sword Master of the Human Realm from the previous generation was the Person of Heavenly Mandate.
Who was the Sword Master of the Human Realm?
He unified the entire universe, enabled coexistence of all clans, and ushered in a completely new era.
Since the Sword Master of the Human Realm, in thirty million years, no Person of Heavenly Mandate had appeared.
But now, one had.
Did this mean a brand new era was about to begin?
Atop the myriad mountains, everyone gazed at the newly appeared Person of Heavenly Mandate.
Ye Guan turned to look at this Person of Heavenly Mandate from the Milky Way. The man smiled faintly, about to speak. At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly turned and slashed with his sword.
Chi.
Under everyone’s gaze, An Daoxin’s beautiful head flew off, blood spraying several zhang away.
The smile on the Person of Heavenly Mandate’s face instantly froze.
Everyone’s expressions grew extremely grave.
What was Ye Guan doing?
He actually dared to challenge the Person of Heavenly Mandate?
Reckless?
No.
In the venue, many people’s gazes towards Ye Guan gradually grew fervent.
Sword cultivator.
This was what a true sword cultivator was.
Unyielding.
Upright.
He had to be upright.
Person of Heavenly Mandate?
I simply will not give you face.
Nearby, Ji Xuan looked at Ye Guan, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly.
She liked this kind of man.
Confident.
Composed.
Domineering.
If Ye Guan had bowed and scraped before the Person of Heavenly Mandate, she would truly look down on him.
Ji Xuan gazed at Ye Guan, her eyes smiling. She was truly appreciating this man more and more.
Ye Qing looked at Ye Guan, a trace of admiration rising in his heart.
Because if it were him, he might have hesitated. After all, this was the Person of Heavenly Mandate.
He still felt some wariness towards the Person of Heavenly Mandate.
After all, the Sword Master of the Human Realm was the Person of Heavenly Mandate. And nearly every generation’s Person of Heavenly Mandate was invincible.
Back then, the two Martial Gods of the An family had both been suppressed by the Person of Heavenly Mandate.
In thirty million years, another Person of Heavenly Mandate had appeared in the world. This might mean the start of a completely new era.
Therefore, he harboured a trace of wariness towards the Person of Heavenly Mandate.
But Ye Guan did not.
Person of Heavenly Mandate?
I do not want to give you face.
Just that badass.
The Person of Heavenly Mandate stared at Ye Guan. The smile on his face had frozen.
Yet Ye Guan’s expression remained calm.
The Person of Heavenly Mandate suddenly smiled. “Young Master Ye, do you not think you have gone too far?”
Ye Guan countered, “When the An family went too far against me, what were you doing then? Did you come out to question the An family as you question me now?”
The Person of Heavenly Mandate looked at Ye Guan without speaking.
Ye Guan smiled. “No. When the An family wanted to kill me, you did not speak. When I want to kill the An family, you come out asking me to give you face.”
With that, he shook his head and chuckled softly. “Forgive my bluntness. What the hell are you? Why should I give you face?”
Whoa.
The venue erupted in uproar again.
Everyone was shocked.
This was no longer about giving face or not.
This was openly provoking the Person of Heavenly Mandate.
Many looked at Ye Guan, admiration suddenly rising in their hearts.
Too fierce.
Not even giving face to the Person of Heavenly Mandate.
Dongli Mo glanced at Ye Guan, shock filling his heart.
He now understood why there were so few sword cultivators. If they were all as stubborn as this guy…
The Person of Heavenly Mandate stared at Ye Guan and chuckled softly. “Do you think that reaching Sword Emperor makes you invincible?”
Ye Guan smiled. “Why say such things?”
With that, he pointed at An Daoxin’s corpse nearby. “I have killed her. If you are unhappy, duel me.”
Duel.
With these words, everyone’s expressions atop the myriad mountains grew grave.
Duel.
Openly challenging the Person of Heavenly Mandate.
Of course, soon they grew excited.
Many onlookers immediately roared madly. “If unhappy, duel.”
“If unhappy, duel.”
The cries rose one after another, piercing the clouds and shaking the heavens.
Onlookers always hoped for things to escalate.
Anyway, it was not them duelling.
A genius sword cultivator versus the Person of Heavenly Mandate.
Just thinking about it was thrilling.
Fire.
At this moment, Ye Guan was naturally full of fire.
Damn it.
When the An family targeted me relentlessly, why did you not come out telling them not to go too far?
When I kill An family members, you come out asking me to give you face, telling me not to go too far.
Person of Heavenly Mandate?
Fuck.
Fuck the Person of Heavenly Mandate.
Hearing Ye Guan’s words, the Person of Heavenly Mandate narrowed his eyes. He stepped forward. “Since Young Master Ye wants a duel, then as you wish. Duel.”
Duel.
As these words fell, the venue directly boiled.
It was on.
It was on.
Many were extremely excited. More drama to watch.
Nearby, Ji Xuan looked at Ye Guan, a trace of worry in her beautiful eyes.
Ye Qing’s eyes also held worry. Inwardly, he said, “Master, will Brother Ye Guan be in danger?”
This Person of Heavenly Mandate was not An Daoxin. This was a genuine Person of Heavenly Mandate. An Daoxin was not even a Martial God.
The two were definitely not on the same level.
Inside Ye Qing, the mysterious voice said, “Do you know why the previous generation’s Person of Heavenly Mandate was so invincible?”
Ye Qing was puzzled. “Why?”
The voice said calmly, “Because the previous generation’s Person of Heavenly Mandate was not only the Person of Heavenly Mandate, but also the person of Heavenly Mandate.”
Hearing this, Ye Qing grew even more confused.
Was that not the same?
But his master said no more.
In this world, anyone trying to pressure this Ye Guan youth with background would die without a complete corpse.
This was a terrifying existence whose entire family was invincible from the start.
In the distance, the Person of Heavenly Mandate spread his hands and smiled. “Come, let me see the strength of a Sword Emperor.”
With those words, he spread his palm. Suddenly, a black great seal shot skyward, straight into the heavens.
Boom.
The sky trembled violently. Then, the entire sky was covered in mysterious and eerie runes. These runes emitted golden light, profoundly mysterious.
In the venue, everyone was greatly alarmed.
What divine ability was this?
At that moment, Ye Guan below suddenly stepped forward. With this step, a sword instantly slashed towards the Person of Heavenly Mandate’s face.
But Ye Guan’s expression changed.
His sword’s speed had actually slowed.
And it grew slower.
Suppressed.
At that moment, the Person of Heavenly Mandate suddenly raised his hands. In an instant, the surrounding space trembled violently. A terrifying force directly slammed onto Ye Guan’s sword.
Bang.
In an instant, Ye Guan was sent retreating over a dozen zhang.
At that moment, the Person of Heavenly Mandate suddenly stepped forward. With this step, the space before him rippled like water. Waves of terrifying spatial pressure pressed towards Ye Guan.
Seeing this, gravity appeared in Ye Guan’s eyes.
This spatial pressure was at least sixty times normal space.
If not for his frequent cultivation under spatial pressure before, an ordinary person would likely lose in one round.
Even though he could withstand this spatial pressure, it meant his sword speed had returned to normal.
No speed advantage.
Seeing Ye Guan actually adapt to his spatial pressure, the Person of Heavenly Mandate narrowed his eyes, a trace of shock in them. “I somewhat underestimated you.”
With that, he suddenly formed seals with his hands, silently chanting ancient incantations. In the next moment, he pointed at Ye Guan. “Divine fire manifest.”
Boom.
With these words, a flame suddenly appeared from nowhere in this space. As the flame emerged, the temperature within hundreds of zhang instantly soared. In a blink, the entire space began to melt.
Ye Guan’s face, within the space, also changed. He suddenly stepped forward. With this step, a terrifying aura suddenly swept out from his body.
Space-Annihilating Realm.
With this step, he directly advanced from Space-Shattering Realm to Space-Annihilating Realm.
Seeing this, everyone in the venue was stunned.
Only at this moment did they notice Ye Guan’s realm.
Space-Shattering Realm.
So this guy had only been Space-Shattering Realm before.
A Space-Shattering Realm Sword Emperor?
Everyone was somewhat dumbfounded.
This guy’s sword Dao realm was so high, yet his personal realm was so low.
Utterly absurd.
The moment Ye Guan reached Space-Annihilating Realm, he suddenly thrust his sword.
Boom.
With this thrust, space in the venue directly shattered. The instant space shattered, the surrounding spatial pressure vanished. In the next moment, Ye Guan crossed through the flames, his sword slashing towards the Person of Heavenly Mandate’s face.
A sword straight at the Person of Heavenly Mandate’s forehead.
This sword was extreme in speed.
However, when his sword was half an inch from the Person of Heavenly Mandate’s forehead, a mysterious rune seal directly blocked it.
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed slightly. At that moment, his surroundings directly ignited.
Ye Guan’s figure trembled, retreating dozens of zhang.
When he stopped, the clothes on his back had burned away. His back was already somewhat bloody and mangled.
If he had been a bit slower, he would have turned to ashes.
Ye Guan stopped. He looked at the distant Person of Heavenly Mandate. Before him floated a flame and a rune seal. The rune seal slowly rotated, containing a mysterious and ancient power.
Moreover, the divine seal in the sky above and the field of runes remained, unknown in purpose.
Ye Guan was silent.
He discovered one of his weaknesses: his profound qi reserves were insufficient.
Every sword consumed massive profound qi.
Against ordinary enemies, one sword ended it, so this weakness did not appear.
But against true powerhouses, in a war of attrition, this weakness was fatal to him.
This was why he had broken through earlier.
Yet still insufficient.
He must end it quickly.
Ye Guan looked at the Person of Heavenly Mandate. The latter chuckled softly. “This is a Sword Emperor? A Space-Annihilating Realm Sword Emperor?”
Ye Guan said no nonsense. He suddenly stepped forward. With this step, a sword light suddenly flashed across the venue.
Before the Person of Heavenly Mandate, the mysterious rune seal suddenly vanished from its spot. Its speed was actually faster than Ye Guan’s sword.
However, at that moment, a change occurred. Ye Guan’s sword suddenly vanished.
Breaking spatial rules.
This sword actually shook off the rune seal.
The Person of Heavenly Mandate’s pupils constricted sharply. In the next moment, the sword pierced his forehead.
But at that moment, as if sensing something, Ye Guan’s face changed dramatically. He retreated frantically…
