Chapter 258: Shameless!
Everyone was flabbergasted; how could this be? Their minds went blank; they truly couldn’t understand how Ye Guan was enlightened to his Mortal Sword in the middle of a battle.
After the initial shock, the denizens of the Guanxuan Universe erupted into cheers.
Ye Guan had just gone past the Great Sword Sovereign Realm to reach the Mortal Sword Realm, which meant that he had just become a true monster.
An Nanjing and Mu Niannian were pleased, but they were actually worried earlier.
They were also aware of the grim consequences if Ye Guan were to end up defeated. The younger generation of the Guanxuan Universe would definitely be annihilated. Therefore, they were more than pleased to see Ye Guan make a breakthrough into the Mortal Sword Realm.
Ye Guan’s Sword Intent and Sword Soul were special, so he had become drastically more powerful after making a breakthrough in his Sword Dao than if he hadn’t awakened his Sword Soul.
At this point, a cultivator with the same accomplishments as him on their own Daos would find it difficult to match up to Ye Guan.
Ruler An knew that as well, so her expression was extremely ugly right now.
The Mortal Sword Realm! For god’s sake, why did he make a breakthrough at such a critical juncture? Ruler An was well aware of just how dangerous a Mortal Sword Realm swordsman was. Even worse, Ye Guan had also awakened his Sword Soul.
Ye Guan’s sword obliterated Yong Qi’s fist force.
Yong Qi’s eyes narrowed, and he started panicking.
He never expected that Ye Guan would make a breakthrough mid-fight.
There was a loud bang as Yong Qi flew backward. Yong Qi flew a few hundred meters before he managed to stop. The Divine Spirits frowned, but they were also filled with disbelief.
Why was the Fist Dao so much weaker than the Sword Dao when both Yong Qi and Ye Guan had the same accomplishments on their own Daos?
Yong Qi glanced down at his right hand. It was completely ripped apart, and his white bones were exposed. He was at a loss for words. Clearly, he hadn’t expected that a swordsman at the Mortal Sword Realm would be so strong.
Unbelievable! Yong Qi glared at Ye Guan in the distance, and his right hand slowly curled into a fist.
Ye Guan suddenly vanished, and a shrill, resonant cry pervaded the battlefield.
Yong Qi’s eyes narrowed, and there was an icy light in his eyes as he punched with all his might. His punch contained the power of a hundred thousand troops galloping to war on their horses, and it made the surrounding spacetime quiver violently.
Kaboom!
Ye Guan’s sword struck Yong Qi’s fist force, shattering it.
A powerful force swept Yong Qi away. The surrounding kilometer of space undulated wildly, and Yong Qi’s fleshly body was in terrible shape. Blood incessantly poured out of him, and he looked like a bloody zombie.
A few Divine Spirits spectating the fight clenched their fists. They cast an anxious gaze on Yong Qi. Was Yong Qi going to lose as well?
Just then, Ruler An’s voice echoed in Yong Qi’s head. “Retreat; stop fighting him.”
Retreat? Yong Qi shook his head. A retreat was tantamount to a surrender, and he didn’t want to surrender no matter what.
Ruler An tried to convince him. “He’s made a breakthrough into the Mortal Sword Realm, and you are no longer his opponent. You’re talented enough to become a Divine Sovereign. You just have to survive this fight.”
Ruler An stared deeply at Yong Qi. She didn’t want Yong Qi to die here.
Yong Qi would certainly become a Divine Sovereign in the future, and it would be a waste to see him die here.
However, Yong Qi shook his head and laughed. “Ruler An, I would rather die than surrender. Surrender? No way!”
With that, he walked slowly toward Ye Guan. A powerful explosion as an insidious flame rushed out of him. A tempest of energy abruptly enveloped him; he wasn’t planning on going down so easily!
Boom!
A deep rumble echoed from within Yong Qi as his prowess reached a new peak; it was a power that he had obtained after sacrificing both his fleshly body and his soul.
The Divine Spirits went silent at the sight, and they stared intently at Yong Qi burning brightly like the sun. They felt conflicted deep inside.
Ruler An’s expression darkened.
Yong Qi had a bright future ahead of him, but he was willing to die here.
Ye Guan stared quietly at Yong Qi while mulling over something. His breakthrough had increased his strength significantly, and he couldn’t wait to see just how strong he had become after reaching the Mortal Sword Realm.
Yong Qi took one final glance at the golden spacetime tunnel. His eyes seemed to pierce the spacetime tunnel to reach the True Universe. There was regret and a forlorn light in his eyes. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to go back home.
He was truly regretful—he was regretful that he couldn’t say goodbye to so many people back home.
Yong Qi turned toward Ye Guan and laughed hysterically. “My name is Yong Qi, and I’m from the True Universe. I will drag you down with me.”
He stomped and dashed forward, and the full extent of his cultivation base fueled him as he made a beeline for Ye Guan. He had become extremely powerful. Yong Qi reckoned that he had never felt so powerful before.
Soon, he brought his hand back and clenched his fist. He poured everything he had—even his life—into his fist before sending it toward Ye Guan.
Yong Qi’s fist rapidly approached Ye Guan, and his aura became even stronger as it inched closer and closer to the latter. The spacetime a few dozen kilometers away from Yong Qi quivered violently despite the distance.
The onlookers were shocked. Yong Qi was about to become a Divine Sovereign!
Ruler An looked down at Yong Qi with disbelief. She stared closely at Yong Qi and discovered that Yong Qi was indeed on the cusp of becoming a Divine Sovereign.
Ruler An glared at Ye Guan with her hands clenched powerfully. She fell into deep contemplation as she ruminated over her options. The older generation of the True Universe was strong enough to fight the older generation of the Guanxuan Universe.
However, Ruler An reckoned that if she were to make a move, war would most likely erupt between the older generation of both universes. It would be a bloodier war than that war thirty million years ago. After all, Ye Guan’s Dao Protector was Destiny.
Ye Guan stared calmly at Yong Qi running over toward him.
Yong Qi’s outstretched fist was filled with an indescribably powerful fist force. When Yong Qi was just inches away from Ye Guan, Yong Qi shattered the shackles of the Time Immortal Realm to become a Divine Sovereign.
At the same time, Ye Guan made a move.
A dazzling sword light streaked across the skies, and both fist and sword collided in mid-air, generating a powerful explosion that sent tremors throughout the entire Xuzhen Battlefield.
A figure was sent flying away.
The onlookers took a closer look and found that the figure belonged to Ye Guan.
Ye Guan flew rapidly, and he tumbled on the ground quite a few times before he finally came to a halt. When the dust settled, Ye Guan appeared once more, but his fleshly body was no more.
Meanwhile, Yong Qi had been reduced to ashes by the collision of their ultimate moves, and the only traces of his existence were his overwhelmingly powerful Fist Force and Fist Intent that the onlookers could still see and feel in the air.
Yong Qi was dead!
A deafening silence landed on the heads of the Divine Spirits. They clenched their fists and gnashed their teeth. They were furious, but they also thought of it as a waste of life. If Yong Qi were still alive, his future would have been very bright.
He ended up becoming a Divine Sovereign a few moments before he perished. He was truly a heaven-defying monstrous talent of the True Universe, but it was a pity that he ended up dying here.
Just then, a powerful shockwave burst out of Ye Guan.
The onlookers turned to Ye Guan and were stunned.
Lightning clouds had gathered above Ye Guan.
Was he going to go through his Heavenly Tribulation right there and then?
What the hell?
The Heavenly Dao of the Xuzhen World stared quietly at Ye Guan. A cultivator on the cusp of becoming a Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator had to withstand a Heavenly Tribulation before they could truly make a breakthrough.
Heavenly Tribulations were under the management of Heavenly Daos, so the Heavenly Tribulation clouds above Ye Guan were under the management of the Xuzhen World’s Heavenly Dao.
However, the Heavenly Dao seemed like it had no idea what to do.
Should it send a Heavenly Tribulation on Ye Guan’s way?
The Xuzhen World’s Heavenly Dao was scared.
It was afraid of messing up and being held accountable for its mistake. Ye Guan was the King of the Guanxuan Universe, after all, so Ye Guan was the manager of every Heavenly Dao located in every world under the Guanxuan Universe’s jurisdiction.
Just then, Mu Tiandao’s voice echoed in its head.
“Send one his way. For formalities’ sake,” she said.
Ye Guan had already broken through, and a Heavenly Tribulation wouldn’t affect him both negatively and positively. Still, he had to go through a Heavenly Tribulation for the sake of formalities.
The Heavenly Dao was relieved, and it sent a bolt of divine lightning on Ye Guan’s way. Ye Guan merely glanced at the divine lightning and waved his sleeve. It was a casual action, but the divine lightning inexplicably burst into pieces.
Ye Guan was now a Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator. The Heavenly Dao saw that Ye Guan had successfully vanquished a bolt of divine lightning, and it rewarded Ye Guan with a gift that the latter frantically absorbed.
After a while, Ye Guan discovered something weird. The Heavenly Dao’s gift seemed a bit too much, and it seemed like the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t stop giving him Heavenly Dao Energy.
A few experts on the Guanxuan Universe’s side couldn’t help but laugh at how absurd the sight they were staring at. The Heavenly Dao’s gift wasn’t supposed to be that bountiful, and the amount of Heavenly Dao Energy that it would give as a gift also depended on the Heavenly Dao’s mood.
However, the Heavenly Dao of the Xuzhen World seemed like it had decided to devote its life to strengthening Ye Guan.
Mu Tiandao shook her head and chuckled. She then glanced at the Heavenly Dao and said, “That’s enough.”
The Heavenly Dao of the Xuzhen World immediately stopped and retreated. It had lived for so long in the Guanxuan Universe that it knew what to do to survive. Of course, the same could be said for the Cosmic Spirits of the Guanxuan Universe.
The Heavenly Dao of the Xuzhen World knew that connections were vital to survival, so it had made sure to refine its ability to please and make connections with supreme elites to the limit.
Ye Guan’s aura continued to rise as he consolidated his power. He had been suppressing his cultivation base all this while, so he practically took off to the skies when he finally made a breakthrough.
The Divine Spirits stared at Ye Guan with grim looks. They finally recalled that Ye Guan was just a paltry Dao Tribulation Realm cultivator while he was fighting Yong Qi earlier.
The Divine Spirits suddenly felt worried.
Ye Guan had just become a Mortal Sword Realm swordsman, and he had also just become a Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator. He was already so strong before his breakthroughs, so the Divine Spirits were afraid to even imagine his current strength.
Ruler An’s expression was solemn as she stared at Ye Guan. Things weren’t looking good for them. Ye Guan’s sword cultivation base was so high that most of them had forgotten that he was just a Dao Tribulation Realm cultivator while fighting Yong Qi.
What would happen once Ye Guan reached the Time Immortal Realm?
Ruler An was convinced that even Divine Sovereigns wouldn’t be Ye Guan’s match once he became a Time Immortal Realm cultivator. To make matters worse, Ye Guan’s accomplishments on the Sword Dao were exceedingly high, and he was exceptionally talented as well.
Rumble!
Just then, a young man walked out of the golden spacetime tunnel. A piece of wild grass was in his mouth, and he was chewing on it as he walked out of the golden spacetime tunnel. He looked like he couldn’t care less about what was happening.
“Mo Wulian[1]!”
He’s Mo Wulian? The Divine Spirits were stunned.
Someone shouted once again, “He’s ranked second on the True Martial List!”
Everyone was astonished. They weren’t familiar with the faces of those within the top three on the True Martial List, as they rarely appeared in public.
Mo Wulian walked up to Ye Guan and said, “You’re incredible! You actually defeated Yong Qi!”
Ye Guan stared at Mo Wulian and asked, “Would you mind if I reconstruct my fleshly body first before we fight?”
Mo Wulian hurriedly nodded. “Of course, I mind.”
The onlookers froze and went silent.
Mo Wulian added, “Of course, I wouldn’t want you to recover before we fight.”
Mo Wulian then swept his gaze across the denizens of the Guanxuan Universe and laughed before saying, “Come on, don’t look at me like that.
”I mean, there’s no point even if you look at me like that. I’m shameless, and I’m proud of it. I also have a penchant for taking advantage of others. Hahaha!”
Mo Wulian turned toward Ye Guan and smirked. “I love it when people glare at me hatefully. Anyway, come on! Come here and kill me!”
What a shameless bastard! Ye Guan was silent. He opened his palm, and the Path Sword appeared in his hand. He snickered and thought. He’s so shameless, so I’ll be shameless as well. Wait, I think being shameless is actually pretty fun!
1. Wulian means shameless, but Mo Shameless sounds weird lol ☜
