Chapter 327: I Am His Aunt
The Yu Spirit was already outside the Chaotic Star World, but he was still scared. He couldn't quite calm down after realizing that she had actually appeared.
He had decided to run out of the Chaotic Star World because that woman was also known as the Map Terminator. Every time she made a move, a whole world would be wiped off of the map!
The Yu Spirit was afraid that he would get caught up and perish along with the Chaotic Star World.
After escaping, the Yu Spirit looked around in a daze. Soon, he felt bitter. He thought that he would become invincible after running away from the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe. However, in addition to failing to become an invincible existence, that little bastard had even robbed him.
This world truly no longer made any sense. He sighed to himself and looked at his surroundings once more before he turned around to leave; his silhouette looked a little solitary as he disappeared.
It was time for him to find another lowly world to have fun in!
He really liked the feeling of being invincible.
Meanwhile, the battle between Ye Guan and the two Great Time Sovereigns was still ongoing. A deafening explosion echoed as Ye Guan was blasted at least a kilometer away after defending himself from an attack.
With his current strength, even fighting against one Great Time Sovereign was rather difficult, but he was going against two Great Time Sovereigns at the moment, so the fact that he was being suppressed didn't come as a surprise even to him.
When Ye Guan finally landed on the ground, blood dripped down his lips.
Just then, a fist imprint flew toward him.
Ye Guan rushed forward and slashed out with his sword.
Heavenrend!
Cracks formed on Ye Guan's severely injured fleshly body. Blood seeped out of the cracks, creating a terrifying scene.
Ping!
Ye Guan was blown backward by the impact of this sword attack, and the man in a lavish robe was also blasted away.
Moments later, the man in a lavish robe landed on the ground, and he looked down at his broken right arm in shock. The young swordsman was incredibly powerful, even though he was just a Heaven Immortal.
The red-robed Great Time Sovereign said in a low voice, “He has transcended ephemerality—he's a swordsman at the Ephemeral Transcendence Realm!"
The man in a lavish robe stared at the red-robed man in disbelief.
When did the Chaotic Star World produce such a monstrous talent?
The red-robed old man stared at Ye Guan with eyes full of killing intent. “He's too strong. There's already an irreconcilable enmity between us, so we have to kill him to prevent a huge disaster from happening to the Holy Sect in the future.”
The man in a lavish robe nodded, and the two immediately rushed toward Ye Guan.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan had just popped a spiritual pill into his mouth. When he saw the two Great Sovereigns charging toward him, he transformed into a beam of sword light and charged toward them rather than retreating.
Time to finish this!
The beam of sword light tore through the air while a kaleidoscope of fist lights erupted from the Great Time Sovereigns' side. The combined power of the three tore apart the surrounding spacetime as though it was made of paper.
Ye Guan was at a disadvantage in this fight, but the two Great Time Sovereigns couldn't quite kill him. However, it was just a matter of time before Ye Guan died fighting against them.
Ye Guan had been holding back his anger. He had always been a reasonable person and was willing to use reason to resolve issues, but he had just realized upon his visit here that not everyone was as reasonable as him.
In addition, only those powerful were respected by everyone. If one were weak and reasonable, others would most likely trample on them using violence. In other words, power was the best language out there to use against unreasonable people.
Crackle!
Ye Guan's sword light shattered, and Ye Guan was sent flying at least a few kilometers away. Eventually, Ye Guan managed to regain his balance and land gracefully, but one of the two Great Time Sovereigns was already flying toward him.
Ye Guan slashed out fiercely with his sword.
Boom!
Ye Guan was blasted away as if he were a kite that had its strings cut. He cut a sorry figure in mid-air, and his fleshly body crumbled as he streaked across the air.
In spite of his injuries, Ye Guan remained unafraid. He gripped his sword tightly and expanded his domain. At the same time, he tapped on his soul to unleash a sword move emblazoned with the terrifying fist energy of Unbeatable.
Booom!
The red-robed Great Time Sovereign flew at least a kilometer away upon impact. When he finally landed on the ground, he was extremely shocked to discover that his fleshly body had been torn apart, leaving him in his soul form.
The red-robed Great Time Sovereign reckoned that once Ye Guan became a Great Sovereign, no Great Sovereign would be his match by then. Ye Guan's talent was just that terrifying.
The man in a lavish robe then rushed toward Ye Guan with a punch.
Boom!
Ye Guan barely managed to defend himself with his sword. The sword light he had painstakingly gathered was shattered into innumerable light fragments, and he was also blasted away.
He streaked across the air for quite a while before he finally recovered his balance and landed on the ground. Ye Guan looked down at his right hand and smiled wryly upon realizing that his fleshly body had perished, leaving him in his soul form.
Anyone else would have retreated from the battle at this point, but Ye Guan was different. He clenched his right hand into a fist, and a deafening boom echoed out of him; his aura also surged crazily.
He had decided to ignite his soul!
The man in a lavish robe roared, “Are you crazy?!”
Ye Guan’s soul was severely injured, but rather than retreating to recover, he had even ignited his soul in exchange for power. In other words, Ye Guan had just signed his own death warrant, and his death was pretty much guaranteed.
The man in a lavish robe was taken aback. He didn't want to face Ye Guan’s sword head-on, so he turned around to retreat. However, Ye Guan's sword was too fast, and it reached him in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
The man in a lavish robe was blasted away. His fleshly body disintegrated in mid-air, and he had become nothing but a soul the moment he landed.
The man in a lavish robe was stunned by the damage that he had taken, and he glared at Ye Guan in front of him, who had become a walking fireball. The flames around Ye Guan were so intense that the man in a lavish robe reckoned that Ye Guan's soul would disintegrate in just thirty seconds.
In other words, the man in a lavish robe just had to last thirty seconds.
With that in mind, the man in a lavish robe no longer attacked Ye Guan. Of course, there was another reason behind it. He was afraid that Ye Guan would kill him before Ye Guan ran out of soul power and died.
Ye Guan's sword attack just now was so terrifying that the man in a lavish robe didn't dare to face Ye Guan head-on.
Ye Guan swept his gaze across the two Great Time Sovereigns and muttered, “I’m still too weak.”
“Fuck!” The man in a lavish robe roared when he heard what Ye Guan said. He felt like he had been slapped in the face. Ye Guan was just a paltry Heaven Immortal Realm cultivator, but he managed to severely injure two Great Time Sovereigns.
It was already an unbelievable achievement, but he wasn't satisfied with it?
What will it take you to become satisfied? Will you only become satisfied once you've reached divine transcendence?
The red-robed Great Time Sovereign's face had darkened as well.
Ye Guan’s words were like a powerful slap to their faces.
Just then, Ye Guan’s soul was starting to flame out. Ye Guan noticed that, and he decisively ran toward the two Great Time Sovereigns.
The two Great Time Sovereigns grew solemn, but they didn't retreat.
They took a step forward and attacked at the same time.
Boom!
Ye Guan turned into a streak of fireball as he flew backward upon impact. The two Great Time Sovereigns also suffered severe injuries from the collision. Their soul forms grew faint, and they looked like they would disappear at any second now.
Rumble!
All of a sudden, Ye Guan’s aura inexplicably surged, and he made a breakthrough into the Peak Immortal Realm.
The two Great Time Sovereigns were reeling in shock at the unbelievable sight.
Did he just make a breakthrough even though he's about to die?
Indeed, Ye Guan was about to die. The two Great Time Sovereigns heaved sighs of relief. If Ye Guan weren't dying, he would have become much more terrifying after his breakthrough.
Thud!
A dull thud echoed as Ye Guan collapsed to the ground. He looked at the sky, and his vision became blurry. He had no regrets! Even in the afterlife, he would have zero regrets about the actions that he had taken today.
People had to fight for themselves, and he wasn't an exception. It was important to be rational, but it wasn't necessary to always be rational. Otherwise, what was the point of living if one's life were full of compromises?
Ye Guan's soul grew fainter and fainter as time went on. The two Great Time Sovereigns heaved another sigh of relief. This bastard is finally about to die.
It was a great thing that Ye Guan had overheated first. Otherwise, they would have also died if Ye Guan had overheated even just a minute later.
Ye Guan’s soul was about to vanish into nothingness when a gentle force tugged at his soul. A lady wearing a plain skirt abruptly appeared next to him. However, Ye Guan wasn't happy to see her. In fact, he looked a bit upset.
The plain-skirt lady waved her sleeve, and the flames around Ye Guan vanished.
“What is it?” she asked after seeing Ye Guan's sour look.
Ye Guan lowered his head slightly and muttered, “You had to intervene to save me again. Since you had to intervene, it means that I'm just a mere ant in your eyes, right? I'm really pathetic, right?”
The plain-skirt lady stared quietly at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan looked up at the sky and clenched his fists.
“Aunt, can you remove your seal on me?”
The plain-skirt lady nodded and said, “Sure.”
She waved her sleeve, and the seal on Ye Guan vanished as if it had never existed.
Ye Guan stood up and walked up to her. Ye Guan opened his palm, and the Path Sword appeared in his hands. He stroked it gently with his right hand before saying, “Thank you for accompanying me on this journey, Little Path.”
He stroked the Path Sword for a while before handing it over to the plain-skirt lady.
“Aunt, I’m returning this sword to you,” he said.
The plain-skirt lady looked at him and asked, “Why?”
Ye Guan smiled wryly and said, “I don’t want to be looked down on by you guys anymore, and I do not want to rely on my relatives anymore. I want to just rely on myself. I will not call for help, even if I'm on the brink of death.”
His words had yet to finish echoing in the air, but he already felt as though a heavy weight had been lifted off of his shoulders.
Grandfather? Aunt? Father? Uncle?
Ye Guan decided that they would have nothing to do with him anymore from now on.
He had chosen to walk on his path by himself. He would go as far as he could, and if he died in the process, then so be it. From now on, he was going to just be Ye Guan rather than someone’s grandson, someone’s son, or someone’s nephew.
The plain-skirt lady stared quietly at the Path Sword. She was about to say something, but the man in a lavish robe suddenly shouted, “So you're his backer!”
The plain-skirt lady turned to look at him and said, “I'm his aunt!”
Aunt?
The man in a lavish robe's eyes narrowed. “So your entire family dared to go against my Holy Sect, you—”
“How noisy!” the plain-skirt lady rebuked. She waved her sleeve, and a sword pierced the man’s forehead, pinning him to the ground.
The man in a lavish robe's face changed drastically. He was scared out of his wits as he stared at the plain-skirt lady with wide eyes.
“You’re stronger than a Great Time Sovereign! Y-y-you must be a Great Destiny Sovereign!” he stammered.
The red-robed Great Time Sovereign next to him was quite shocked as well, but he wasn't really scared of the plain-skirt lady. In fact, if it weren't for their injuries, he believed that the two of them would have been able to fight the plain-skirt lady.
Unfortunately, they had been reduced to nothing but their soul forms. In other words, they weren't her match. Having made up his mind, the red-robed Great Sovereign opened his palm, and a fiery red token shot into the depths of the starry skies.
He had decided to call for reinforcements!
Rumble!
A terrifying aura suddenly surged from the depths of the starry skies. It belonged to a supreme elite of the Holy Sect! Soon, the spacetime up above was torn open, and a middle-aged man walked out of the rift.
The middle-aged man was the Sect Master of the Holy Sect, Sheng[1] Qi. He was one of the five Great Destiny Sovereigns of the Chaotic Star World, and he was accompanied by four Great Time Sovereigns along with nine Ordinary Great Sovereigns.
The Holy Sect's true powerhouses were here, and they were here to fight a supposedly Great Destiny Sovereign.[2]
The Holy Sect didn't dare to underestimate a Great Destiny Sovereign, but they had decided not to summon every powerhouse of the Holy Sect. After all, there was only one Great Destiny Sovereign.
Sheng Qi glared at the plain-skirt lady and asked, “When did a Great Destiny Sovereign appear in the Chaotic Star World?”
The plain-skirt lady didn't even spare him a glance.
She stared at Ye Guan and said, “I’ve never looked down on you.”
Ye Guan lowered his head, not saying a word.
The plain-skirt lady added, “However, I’ll support your decision to go down your own path by yourself. Today, I'm still going to help you, but it's going to be the last time.”
Ye Guan nodded. “Okay!”
The plain-skirt lady stared at Ye Guan and realized that even though Ye Guan had become strong enough to be considered a true powerhouse, he was still a child at heart. The plain-skirt lady's eyes flashed briefly in pity as she ruffled Ye Guan's hair.
"I'll bid this mortal world farewell after this.”
Ye Guan didn't really understand that, and the plain-skirt lady didn't explain anything. She raised her head and stared somewhere. A smile crept up her lips as she muttered, “I'll be there soon, wait for me…”
She then looked at Ye Guan and asked, “How strong do you think I am?”
“You're strong enough to kill Great Sovereigns with just a few sword moves."
“That’s a gross understatement,” the plain-skirt lady said with a chuckle.
Ye Guan froze and went silent. He felt something amiss.
The plain-skirt lady ruffled his hair again before saying, “Even Great Destiny Sovereigns are mere ants before me, and there is no need for me to draw my sword toward them."
With that, she cast her gaze on Sheng Qi.
Boom!
Sheng Qi crumbled into dust.
The plain-skirt lady had just killed a Great Destiny Sovereign with a mere glance!
Everyone reeled in shock at the incredulous sight.
1. Means holy ☜
2. The Holy Sect assumes that Plain Skirt Lady is a Great Destiny Sovereign ☜
