I’ve got this!
At Qin Guan’s words, Ye Xuan froze.
Was Qin Guan about to put on a show?
She suddenly stepped forward. Her right hand reached into the little cloth pouch and pulled out something that looked like a handle. Just as Ye Xuan stared in confusion, she pressed a red button.
Then she quickly put away the Heaven-Reaching Tower, grabbed Ye Xuan, and vanished on the spot.
Boom!
The instant they disappeared, the entire Void Battlefield exploded. A mushroom cloud tens of millions of li high shot into the starry sky. Everything it passed through was reduced to nothingness.
Even Ye Xuan, who had fled all the way to the Zero-Degree Realm, could still feel the lingering terror of that force.
He was completely stunned.
What in the world was that thing?
Beside him, Qin Guan patted her hands together, still looking a little shaken. “The power really is ferocious.”
Ye Xuan turned to her. “What was that?”
Qin Guan said seriously, “A new invention. I call it the Guanxuan Bomb.”
Guanxuan Bomb.
Ye Xuan’s face stiffened.
Qin Guan thought for a moment, then added, “This kind of thing must never be allowed to spread.”
Ye Xuan hurriedly nodded. “Absolutely! If even one detonated inside the Guanxuan Universe, who knows how many lives would be lost.”
Qin Guan gave a small nod. “I’ll have them make a few more, but for safety’s sake, I’ll keep them all inside my pouch. Only I can use them.”
Ye Xuan nodded. “That works.”
He had to admit, he was actually a little wary of all the random gadgets Qin Guan came up with.
Take that Guanxuan Bomb, for example. If it went off, even he couldn’t stop it.
The destructive power was simply too outrageous.
If things like this ever circulated in the Guanxuan Universe and were abused, it would be a catastrophe for the entire cosmos.
At that moment, the space in front of them tore open. A middle-aged man tumbled out. It was Sin King. Right now, his flesh was mangled and he looked extremely weak.
Sin King looked at Qin Guan and said with a trembling voice, “Miss Qin, next time you decide to drop a bomb, could you at least give your teammate a heads-up? If I hadn’t run fast enough, I’d have been vaporised!”
Qin Guan gave an awkward little laugh. “I forgot you were on our side.”
Sin King’s face froze. He smiled bitterly inside.
Compared to Ye Xuan, he was actually more afraid of this Qin Guan.
That little pouch of hers was ridiculous. You never knew what kind of “surprise” she would pull out next.
Far too outrageous.
Qin Guan suddenly said, “Let’s go back and take a look.”
Ye Xuan nodded, then took her and vanished.
Sin King stood there with a dark expression. He suddenly felt like the third wheel.
…
Void Battlefield.
When Ye Xuan and Qin Guan returned, the place was still filled with an extremely violent and chaotic energy. Even the cosmic laws hadn’t been able to repair the area yet.
Ye Xuan waved his sleeve. A streak of sword light shot out and instantly cleaved apart the berserk energy.
Then he abruptly turned his head. A thousand zhang to his right stood a faint silhouette.
It was the very same silhouette from earlier.
But now it was extremely translucent, like a wisp of smoke that could scatter at any moment.
Without wasting words, Ye Xuan’s mind stirred. The Qingxuan Sword flew out.
Chi!
The silhouette was instantly pinned by the sword.
The silhouette roared viciously, “Can you even kill me for real?”
Ye Xuan spread his palm. The Qingxuan Sword trembled violently and began devouring the soul directly.
As if sensing something, the silhouette cried out in horror, “What sword is this! How can it kill my true body!”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “Guess.”
The silhouette immediately panicked. “You… stop! Stop right now!”
Ye Xuan frowned.
He had noticed that no matter how strong the experts from the True World were, the moment their true body was threatened, they lost all dignity and became terrified of death.
The silhouette continued screaming and roaring, but Ye Xuan ignored it completely and let the Qingxuan Sword erase the soul completely.
After absorbing the soul, the aura of the Qingxuan Sword grew slightly stronger.
Ye Xuan looked at the sword and shook his head with a smile. This sword could still keep improving.
At present, the Qingxuan Sword was probably the strongest sword beneath the Three Swords.
At that moment, the Spirit of the Universe suddenly appeared.
Ye Xuan looked at it and frowned.
The Spirit turned to Qin Guan. “Miss Qin, that Heaven-Reaching Tower of yours…”
Qin Guan smiled, waved her sleeve, and the tower appeared in the field.
The Spirit swept its divine sense across the entire structure. Soon its brows furrowed. “You copied all the data from the True World’s teleportation array.”
Qin Guan nodded. “Yes.”
The Spirit stared at her. “Can you really create a special passage to the True World?”
Qin Guan said gravely, “It’s still being analysed. I can’t promise success, but I believe there is hope.”
The Spirit said solemnly, “It is far too difficult.”
It shook its head slightly. “You want to counter dimensions. That is practically impossible. And forgive my bluntness, if you truly could counter dimensions yourself, you wouldn’t need to bother with all this.”
Qin Guan shook her head. “I disagree. A journey of a thousand li begins with a single step. No matter how difficult, if you act, it can be accomplished.” She turned to look at the Heaven-Reaching Tower and said softly, “If I don’t do this, even if we eventually manage to repel these divine spirits, the descendants of our Guanxuan Universe will forever remain passive and only able to take beatings. They will never be able to fight back. So no matter how hard it is, I will research it. For the countless lives of the Guanxuan Universe, so that in the future they can walk out of this cosmos!”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Well said. It may be difficult now, but if we don’t do it, who will?”
Qin Guan gave a small nod. “Exactly.”
She glanced at Ye Xuan, her eyes curving with a smile.
Among all the heavens and universes, the only person who shared her ambition and ideals was Ye Xuan.
The two of them supported each other and progressed together.
The Spirit of the Universe said gravely, “You two still do not understand what countering dimensions truly means.”
Qin Guan suddenly smiled. “Countering dimensions is difficult, but it is not absolute. For example, Little Xuanxuan’s younger sister and the other two can already do it, can’t they?”
The Spirit of the Universe frowned.
Qin Guan laughed. “If I’m not mistaken, Senior, you’ve thought about this yourself, haven’t you?”
The Spirit nodded. “I have, but I encountered problems, problems I believed unsolvable.”
Qin Guan smiled, then turned to Ye Xuan. “Let’s go. Back to the Heaven-Reaching Tower.”
With that, she took Ye Xuan and vanished.
Sin King appeared in the field. He looked at the distant Spirit of the Universe, hesitated, then said, “You must be the legendary Spirit of the Universe?”
The Spirit looked at him without speaking.
Sin King thought for a moment, then added, “I’m with Young Master Ye now.”
The Spirit stared at him. “You defected?”
Sin King said earnestly, “A wise man submits to circumstances.”
The Spirit gave him a thumbs-up. “Promising future.”
With that, it turned and left.
Sin King stood there and muttered, “If one day Young Master Ye invades the True World… I’ll be the guide. Then I’ll be the number-one contributor! Hehe…”
