Ye Guan watched the overwhelming will descending like ten thousand mountains pressing down. His expression was extremely grave!
He had to admit, it was truly powerful. It was merely a strand of will, and one from billions of years ago, yet it already possessed such terrifying might. It was utterly horrifying.
Without thinking further, Ye Guan took a step forward. A surge of sword momentum erupted from within him!
Boom!
The powerful sword momentum swept upwards like a storm. It gathered in one place and transformed into a single sword that shot straight into the sky. The sword momentum was like a rainbow, shattering space and time!
Facing this terrifying immortal will, he did not defend. He attacked!
That momentum sword tore through the air. However, the moment it touched the immortal will—
Boom!
The sword momentum shattered instantly.
Ye Guan’s pupils contracted sharply. In the next moment, he felt as though his body had been struck hard by an iron hammer. The terrifying force directly sent him flying hundreds of zhang away. He crashed heavily from the air into that sea of blood below.
Splash!
The sea of blood surged up into waves dozens of zhang high, with countless splashes.
In the distance, An Nan Jing watched the sea of blood calmly.
After a long while, a blood-soaked man slowly crawled out from the sea of blood.
It was Ye Guan!
After crawling out, Ye Guan simply lay on the ground. At this moment, his entire body was cracked open. Blood continuously seeped from every part of him. His abdomen and right arm were especially badly injured. The entire right arm had completely split, with several bones exposed to the air.
He was gravely wounded!
Ye Guan took out a pill and swallowed it. As the pill entered his body, a stream of pure golden energy spread throughout him. Soon after, his body began to recover rapidly.
Ye Guan took a deep breath. A bitter smile appeared on his face. He had to admit, that immortal will was truly ferocious!
His Great Sword Emperor sword momentum was completely inadequate in front of this will.
Although he had been utterly crushed, Ye Guan felt even more excited.
At that moment, not far in front of him, another person crawled out from the ground. It was a woman. After she stood up, she wiped the blood from her face. Sensing something, she suddenly frowned and looked towards Ye Guan in the distance.
When the blood was wiped from the woman’s face, Ye Guan froze.
The woman was not beautiful. In fact, she could be described as somewhat ugly. There was a palm-sized blood-red birthmark on the right side of her face, covering half of it. At first glance, it looked somewhat ferocious.
The woman was also seriously injured. Blood continuously seeped from her body. She looked quite miserable.
The woman looked at Ye Guan without speaking, but her eyes carried a trace of vigilance.
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then opened his palm. A pill slowly floated towards the woman.
It was an immortal-grade pill!
He lacked nothing else now. Money and equipment were in abundance.
When travelling outside, if he could form a good connection, then he would. After all, his money was limitless.
At first, he had thought about being frugal. But after seeing the pills in the storage ring Qin Feng gave him, he felt there was no need to save anymore!
There were millions of immortal-grade pills alone!
Millions!
In addition, there were several million divine-grade pills above immortal-grade!
Frugal?
That word would never appear in his life again.
He had suffered for eighteen years. It was time to enjoy life!
Seeing the immortal-grade pill in front of her, the woman was immediately stunned. She looked at Ye Guan with a trace of confusion in her eyes.
Ye Guan smiled. “It is just an immortal-grade pill. Miss, there is no need to be too shocked. It is nothing!”
The woman stared at Ye Guan. Then she took out a pill. The moment it appeared, a rich medicinal fragrance immediately spread through the area. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth around them surged rapidly towards the woman.
Seeing this, Ye Guan froze.
It was an emperor-grade pill!
The woman looked at Ye Guan and put the emperor-grade pill into her mouth.
Ye Guan’s expression stiffened.
At that moment, the woman’s palm opened again. An emperor-grade pill slowly floated towards Ye Guan.
Looking at the emperor-grade pill in front of him, Ye Guan was silent for a moment before saying, “Sorry, I did not know miss was so wealthy. I really had no other intentions…”
The woman did not speak. But she still put away the immortal-grade pill. Then she walked to the side and sat down. She crossed her legs on the ground, placed her hands in front of her chest, and formed mysterious hand seals. Soon, a formation rose above her head. Within the formation, endless energy poured down and gathered towards her.
Ye Guan watched with a face full of confusion. In his heart, he asked, “Tower Elder, what is she doing?”
The small tower said, “I do not know!”
Ye Guan frowned. Then the mysterious voice suddenly spoke, “This girl’s origins are not simple. What she is using is an ancient divine formation. This kind of formation allows her to recover her essence, energy, spirit, and injuries in an extremely short time. For example, your injuries are about the same. If you take one emperor-grade pill, it would take a quarter of an hour to fully recover. But for her, it might only take a few breaths! Moreover, once this formation is activated, it can last for an hour. If her attainment is deep, it can even last for months!”
At that moment, the woman had already stood up. Her injuries were now completely recovered. She glanced at Ye Guan, then turned and walked up the mountain.
Seeing this, Ye Guan’s expression immediately became grave!
This recovery speed was simply terrifying!
Most importantly, this recovery formation was always active!
The mysterious voice continued, “This place was created back then by a group of cosmic spirits who resisted the True Gods. Those qualified to come here are no ordinary people. Do not underestimate anyone.”
Ye Guan nodded. “Understood!”
With that, he stood up and walked towards the mountain top.
At this moment, the crowd that had been pressed down by that will earlier began walking towards the mountain top again. Apart from Ye Guan, everyone else’s expressions were very calm.
Clearly, they were already used to it!
Ye Guan looked at the mountain top. He walked slowly, deep in thought.
That will earlier was the immortal will. Unfortunately, it had only flashed by for a moment. If he could sense it carefully, he would surely gain much improvement!
As though thinking of something, Ye Guan asked, “Senior, what is immortal will?”
The mysterious voice said, “The body may die, the soul may vanish, the bones may shatter, but the will does not perish! Therefore, even though the Unyielding Great Emperor died billions of years ago, this strand of his will still exists!”
Ye Guan was puzzled. “Even True Gods cannot erase it?”
The mysterious voice said, “They can, but there is no need!”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. “I understand!”
With that, he looked up towards the mountain top.
The will does not perish!
Even after billions of years, that will remained indelible. Even time itself could not erode it!
Will!
Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes. In front of these true powerhouses, he finally felt how insignificant he truly was.
Before this, after defeating Lu Tian, although he kept reminding himself not to get arrogant or conceited, deep in his heart, there had still been some pride.
The youngest Great Sword Emperor in the history of the Guanxuan Universe!
The number one of the younger generation in the Guanxuan Universe!
Did he not have the right to be proud?
Of course he did!
But at this moment, in Ye Guan’s view, this so-called number one of the younger generation in the Guanxuan Universe and this so-called Great Sword Emperor were truly laughable!
His previous mindset was like that of a frog at the bottom of a well. He could only see the small patch of sky above him and feel smug about it.
Ye Guan suddenly let out a light laugh.
The small tower asked, “What are you laughing at?”
Ye Guan said, “Laughing at my own ignorance!”
The small tower was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
Ye Guan took a deep breath and said softly, “Why do two crickets that do not worry about food fight fiercely in a jar? Because they are trapped in a narrow place. Their vision becomes narrow, and they only see the immediate benefits in front of them. I should not treat the Guanxuan Universe as that cricket jar. I should look further. Number one of the younger generation in the Guanxuan Universe? I laugh at my previous ignorance and self-limitation. I should look even farther. I do not want to be number one of the younger generation. I want to become the number one person across all heavens, myriad realms, and universes!”
Boom!
As his words fell, within Ye Guan’s body, a powerful sword momentum surged out like a flood sweeping upwards.
Ye Guan began walking quickly towards the mountain top. No, he was running!
“Haha!”
At that moment, the mysterious voice suddenly burst into laughter. “Good, extremely good! This child’s temperament is truly rare throughout the ages. If he had not already been taken as an inheritor by the Plain Skirt Destiny, I would definitely want him to inherit my lineage.”
The small tower said softly, “Is he about to break through?”
The mysterious voice said, “No, but his Dao Heart has advanced another level! In the True Universe, the Dao Heart has three layers. He is now at the second layer, with a steady Dao Heart. One more step forward is a perfect Dao Heart. And one step beyond that, he can enter the Mortal Realm. With his talent and temperament, entering the Mortal Realm should be very soon!”
The small tower said, “You can teach him too. You teach him martial arts, I teach him literature. Together, we will surely cultivate an invincible supreme prodigy in the future!”
The mysterious voice fell silent and did not want to reply.
In the field, Ye Guan’s speed grew faster and faster. He also attracted the attention of some people in the area.
What is this guy trying to do?
Everyone wondered in their hearts.
Just as Ye Guan was about to approach the mountain summit, suddenly, another furious roar came from the top of the mountain.
Boom!
With this roar, a terrifying will swept down from the summit.
Seeing this, everyone’s expressions changed drastically at once. They all summoned their divine artefacts.
But Ye Guan, who was charging at the front, grinned widely. He rushed forward, transforming his will into a sword, then thrust straight ahead.
Hard clash!
Defend?
Impossible!
He was going to clash head-on!
This sword carried Ye Guan’s full power.
However—
Boom!
Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Guan’s will sword shattered with a bang. Then Ye Guan was directly sent flying. He fell rapidly from thousands of zhang in the air and smashed heavily into that sea of blood!
Boom!
The sea of blood immediately surged up nearly a thousand zhang high!
On the mountain, the crowd was also blasted down by that powerful will and fell one after another into the sea of blood.
After a long time, Ye Guan slowly crawled out from the sea of blood.
As soon as he emerged, Ye Guan immediately swallowed an emperor-grade pill!
As the pill entered his body, his wounds recovered at an astonishing speed.
At that moment, the woman with the birthmark on her face also crawled out from the sea of blood not far from Ye Guan. She wiped the blood from her face and looked at Ye Guan sitting cross-legged on the ground without speaking.
After a while, the crowd began walking upwards again.
After recovering from his injuries, Ye Guan charged up once more. This time, he was no longer climbing. He flew on his sword and rushed towards the mountain top!
Seeing this, the people on the mountain were immediately stunned.
What is he playing at?
Soon, Ye Guan reached the mountain top. At that moment, another furious roar rang out from the summit. Immediately after, an even more terrifying will swept down from the top!
This time, the will was much stronger than before!
Sensing this, everyone was instantly numb!
Boom!
In an instant, everyone on the mountain was blasted straight into the sea of blood by this will. This included Ye Guan, who suffered the worst. He smashed directly from the air into the sea of blood.
His body was cracked open once again!
But soon, Ye Guan crawled up again!
Then he began healing!
In the field, some people who had crawled out from the sea of blood looked at Ye Guan with faces full of confusion.
Where did this madman come from?
After Ye Guan swallowed another emperor-grade pill, his injuries recovered very quickly. Not long after, once his wounds healed, he charged towards the mountain top again.
Fight again!
While Ye Guan was bitterly cultivating, in an unknown starry sky, a woman walked slowly. She had long hair draped over her shoulders and wore a blood-coloured skirt. Her gaze was icy cold, containing no trace of emotion!
In her right hand, she held a small wooden figure.
At that moment, she suddenly stopped. Ten thousand zhang in front of her stood a sword cultivator dressed in cloud-white robes!
The Carefree Sword Cultivator!
The Carefree Sword Cultivator slowly turned around. He looked at the woman in the blood skirt and smiled faintly. “Ready for a fight?”
The Plain Skirt Destiny said calmly, “Ready!”
The Carefree Sword Cultivator nodded. “This place is at the edge of the universe, boundless and vast. It is suitable for a battle!”
With that, he was about to draw his sword. At that moment, the Plain Skirt Destiny suddenly said, “Wait!”
The Carefree Sword Cultivator looked at the Plain Skirt Destiny in confusion.
The Plain Skirt Destiny slowly closed her eyes. A moment later, she put away the small wooden figure. Then with a flick of her sleeve, she shouted angrily, “Yang Ye, get out here!”
Sizzle!
Space-time shattered. At the end of that space-time tunnel, a man in green robes could be vaguely seen.
At that moment, the green-robed man suddenly took a step forward. With this step, he directly appeared a thousand zhang in front of the woman in the plain skirt.
The green-robed man turned his head and glanced as though seeing something. He burst into loud laughter. “My son has finally taken that step!”
The Plain Skirt Destiny looked at the two of them with icy cold eyes. “The two of you are always begging to die, are you not?”
With that, she walked towards them. “Today, then die!”
As her words fell, her palm suddenly opened. She shouted angrily, “Sword, come!”
Boom!
In an instant, billions of stars went silent. Countless star rivers and universes folded, shattered, and annihilated. Behind her, countless great daos burned and perished…
Buzz!
At that moment, a sword landed in her hand!
Qingxuan!
Qing’er!
Ye Xuan!
The moment she grasped the sword, trillions of cosmic star rivers directly restarted…
The Plain Skirt Destiny looked at the two people in front of her with icy cold eyes. “Please die!”
As her words fell, she suddenly vanished from her spot.
Sizzle!
Sword light appeared!
For the first time in countless tens of thousands of years… she truly drew her sword with seriousness…
