At the mountain top, Ye Guan and the others were somewhat stunned at this moment.
Because they had not expected that this time the immortal will would not attack.
They had passed?
Thinking of this, smiles immediately appeared on the faces of Ye Guan and the four others.
Clearly, they had gained the recognition of this Unyielding Great Emperor!
Ye Guan led the four up to the summit. The top was vast and empty, surrounded by swirling clouds and mist. A hundred-zhang skeleton leaned against a cliff face a thousand zhang away. The skeleton gazed into the void, hands braced against the ground as though trying to stand, but ultimately failing. It could only lean against the mountain ridge to support its body.
After billions of years of erosion by time, this skeleton still looked as new as ever, exuding an ancient aura that made people dare not look directly at it.
The Unyielding Great Emperor!
Seeing this skeleton, Ye Guan and the others’ expressions immediately became grave!
This was the unparalleled powerhouse who had once fought True Gods!
Although defeated, after billions of years, the bones remained indestructible, and the will endured forever.
Such a powerhouse inspired awe and respect!
Ye Guan stared at the skeleton, his hands clenched tightly. At this moment, his resolve in pursuing the invincible sword dao became even firmer!
Even such an extraordinary figure had been slain!
If he did not achieve invincibility in this life, he feared he would not meet a good end either.
He must become invincible!
Invincible to the point where no one could kill him!
Ye Guan took a deep breath. The conviction in his sword dao grew even stronger in his heart.
At that moment, a group of people suddenly rushed up behind Ye Guan and the others.
Seeing this group, Han Zong and the others were immediately stunned.
But when they saw the hundred-zhang skeleton, the newcomers immediately became excited!
The Unyielding Bone!
This was the legendary Unyielding Bone!
If they could obtain even a single piece of the Unyielding Bone, it would be enough to defy fate and change destiny!
At that moment, someone was about to charge towards the Unyielding Bone!
Seeing this, Lian Shuang and the others’ faces instantly turned cold. They directly blocked the path of that group.
Lian Shuang glared furiously at the crowd in front of him. “What do you think you are doing?”
From among the crowd, a black-robed young man stepped forward. He looked at Lian Shuang and sneered coldly. “What are we doing? Why? Is this Unyielding Bone your family’s property?”
The rest of the crowd also glared angrily at Lian Shuang.
At this point, whoever stood in their way of seizing the Unyielding Bone would be killed!
Lian Shuang’s face looked extremely ugly. “If not for the twenty days we spent risking our lives, could you even stand here? When we were putting in the effort, you all stood by laughing at how foolish we were. Now that we have broken through that immortal will, you immediately come to snatch the Unyielding Bone. Is there such a principle in this world?”
Ye Guan glanced at Lian Shuang and shook his head with a smile.
This brother spoke in such a refined and bookish manner. He clearly read a lot. He could be recruited into the academy!
Hearing Lian Shuang’s words, the black-robed young man immediately laughed. “Did we force you to risk your lives? No, right? You chose to risk them yourselves. What does that have to do with us?”
Lian Shuang was furious and about to speak when Han Zong beside him suddenly stepped forward. Without a word, he raised his hand and slapped out.
The black-robed young man’s face changed dramatically. He quickly summoned a black shield to block in front of him!
Bang!
The black shield shattered instantly under Han Zong’s slap. The black-robed young man was sent flying a hundred zhang away. As soon as he stopped, blood flowed from all seven orifices, and his five viscera were cracked!
Everyone was shocked.
Ye Guan was also somewhat stunned. Han Zong’s power was truly terrifying. That slap made one’s scalp tingle.
Lian Shuang looked towards Han Zong. Han Zong glared furiously at the black-robed young man. “My sister said, when you meet someone unreasonable, beat him! Beat him to death!”
The crowd: “…”
Han Zong was about to strike again when suddenly those one hundred-plus people locked their divine senses onto him!
Seeing this, Lian Shuang, Zong Shou, and the woman with the birthmark immediately stepped beside Han Zong.
This was something they had earned with their lives. Naturally, they could not just hand it over!
Both sides were at daggers drawn!
Ye Guan suddenly glanced towards the sky, then walked to Han Zong’s side. He smiled. “We are outnumbered. We cannot beat them. Let us just forget this matter!”
Hearing this, Han Zong froze.
Lian Shuang hesitated for a moment, then said, “Brother Ye, although they have more people, if we join forces, we may not lose to them!”
Zong Shou also quickly nodded. “We can fight!”
To just hand over the Unyielding Bone like this—they were unwilling!
Ye Guan said, “The situation is unfavourable for us. When we need to bow our heads, we must bow. Let them have it!”
The woman with the birthmark glared furiously at Ye Guan and suddenly spoke. “I never expected you to be so cowardly. I truly look down on you!”
Ye Guan said nothing.
In the distance, those one hundred-plus people heard Ye Guan’s words and immediately smiled. They ignored Han Zong and the others and charged straight towards the Unyielding Bone.
On the spot, Ye Guan’s expression remained calm as water.
But the faces of the woman with the birthmark and the others were extremely ugly. As though thinking of something, she suddenly glared at Ye Guan in fury.
If Ye Guan had been willing to act, the few of them together would not fear those one hundred-plus people!
Because among everyone present, the strongest fighters were precisely them—especially after they had all received such great improvements.
But she had not expected Ye Guan to be so timid.
Too cowardly!
Lian Shuang and the other two also looked somewhat ugly. Was the Unyielding Bone really going to be handed over just like this?
They were unwilling!
At that moment, that group charged straight up to the supreme skeleton. Looking at the hundred-zhang skeleton in front of them, everyone’s eyes turned red!
Seize it directly!
However, at that instant, a terrifying will suddenly erupted from within the skeleton.
Boom!
In an instant, those one hundred-plus people who had just approached did not even have time to react before they were directly erased by this will!
Seeing this scene, the woman with the birthmark and the others were immediately stunned.
But Ye Guan’s expression remained calm.
The woman with the birthmark suddenly looked towards Ye Guan. She stared at him in shock. “You knew this would happen!”
Hearing the woman with the birthmark’s words, Lian Shuang and the other two also turned to look at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan smiled. “How would I know? I just felt that when facing this Unyielding Bone, we should show respect and not profane it. They charged in to snatch it like that, which was undoubtedly profaning the Unyielding Bone. So I thought they would face retribution.”
The woman with the birthmark stared at Ye Guan. “Then why did you not explain it clearly to us?”
Ye Guan glanced at the woman with the birthmark without speaking. He turned and walked towards the Unyielding Bone.
The woman with the birthmark’s face became somewhat ugly.
She understood what this young man meant!
She was just an insignificant person. To him, her misunderstanding was not important at all?
Clearly it was not!
Thinking of this, when the woman with the birthmark looked at Ye Guan again, a trace of complexity appeared in her eyes.
Lian Shuang and the others also felt somewhat embarrassed. Earlier they had been somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Guan. Now it seemed they had greatly misunderstood him.
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly turned his head towards Lian Shuang and the others and smiled. “Are you all not going to take the Unyielding Bone?”
Hearing Ye Guan’s words, the few quickly followed after him.
Lian Shuang cupped his hands towards Ye Guan and said seriously, “Brother Ye, I am sorry. I misunderstood you!”
Han Zong also scratched his head awkwardly with a silly smile. “Ye… brother, I was actually thinking of hitting you earlier!”
Ye Guan’s expression stiffened.
Han Zong added, “Sorry…”
Ye Guan glanced at Han Zong and shook his head with a smile. This fellow was honest, but when it came time to act, he was more decisive than anyone!
This kind of punch really came out of nowhere. If you were not paying attention, he would hit you with one!
Beside them, Zong Shou suddenly also cupped his hands. “Brother Ye, sorry!”
The woman with the birthmark glanced at Ye Guan without speaking.
Ye Guan smiled. “Let us not talk about these things! I also had fault in this matter. In the heat of the moment earlier, I did not communicate with you all clearly. So it is normal that you misunderstood me. Therefore… let us put this matter behind us! None of us will mention it again, alright?”
Hearing Ye Guan’s words, Lian Shuang and Zong Shou both laughed!
This Brother Ye was truly a good person!
Han Zong also laughed foolishly a few times!
The woman with the birthmark glanced at Ye Guan without speaking.
Ye Guan led the few to the front of that Unyielding Bone. Looking at the Unyielding Bone in front of him, Ye Guan’s expression became somewhat complicated. After a moment of silence, he gave a slight bow to show respect.
Lian Shuang and the other four also gave slight bows.
At that moment, a strand of will suddenly floated out from within the skeleton.
Seeing this, Lian Shuang and the others’ faces changed greatly at once. However, that will merely swept over them without attacking!
Lian Shuang and the others froze!
Ye Guan looked at the skeleton in front of him in silence.
At this time, that will suddenly condensed into a towering illusory figure.
The Unyielding Great Emperor!
Seeing this scene, Ye Guan and the others were all shocked.
Down the mountain in the distance, An Nan Jing, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly raised her head. She looked towards the mountain top with a calm expression.
During this period, she had been guarding here all along.
The Unyielding Great Emperor slowly raised his head and glanced towards the void above. His eyes held some complexity—bewilderment, unwillingness, and a trace of helplessness.
After a long time, the Unyielding Great Emperor withdrew his gaze. He looked towards An Nan Jing down the mountain. When he saw An Nan Jing, he was immediately stunned, with a trace of astonishment in his eyes.
An Nan Jing met the Unyielding Great Emperor’s gaze without speaking.
After a moment, the Unyielding Great Emperor said softly, “Each generation produces its own talents!”
With that, he withdrew his gaze and looked towards Ye Guan and the others in front of him. His gaze first fell on Ye Guan. After sizing him up, he smiled. “You fought tens of thousands of times without retreating. Young man, you are very good. Are you willing to take this skeleton of mine?”
Hearing the Unyielding Great Emperor’s words, the expressions of Lian Shuang and the others immediately became complicated!
They knew the Unyielding Great Emperor had taken a liking to Ye Guan.
There was some loss and some envy.
But Ye Guan remained silent.
Lian Shuang suddenly quickly walked to Ye Guan’s side. He pushed Ye Guan’s arm. “Brother Ye, why are you not quickly kowtowing to take him as master? This is an enormous opportunity! As long as you have this Unyielding Bone, your strength can increase at least a hundredfold!”
Ye Guan raised his head and looked straight at the Unyielding Great Emperor. “Senior, I do not want this Unyielding Bone!”
Hearing this, Lian Shuang and the others were all stunned.
The Unyielding Great Emperor was also somewhat surprised. He smiled. “Why not?”
Ye Guan looked straight at the Unyielding Great Emperor. “I already possess invincible will. Why would I need the Unyielding Bone?”
Boom!
A powerful sword momentum suddenly surged out from within Ye Guan. In an instant, Lian Shuang and the others were directly shaken back repeatedly!
That sword momentum directly transformed into a will sword that shot straight into the sky, shattering the firmament.
Sword intent attaining the dao!
Invincible sword intent!
Looking at Ye Guan’s invincible sword intent, the Unyielding Great Emperor was stunned for a moment. In the next instant, he suddenly burst into loud laughter!
At this moment, the entire Divine Realm trembled violently.
Inside the small tower, the mysterious voice suddenly said, “If Destiny no longer appears, then give him to me! I will teach him. I will be his guardian!”
The small tower: “…”
