Chapter 359: It Is Lonely To Be Invincible
The blue-robed man was stunned speechless upon seeing the Unfettered Swordsman leave.
Brother Unfettered has become a bit obsessive with invincibility. To think that he’s killing anyone daring enough to claim that they're invincible!
...
Ye Guan looked at the Demon Sovereign with a gloomy expression. The Demon Sovereign’s aura was significantly stronger than the Battle Sovereign’s aura! In other words, the Demon Sovereign was at his peak condition, unlike the Battle Sovereign.
With that in mind, Ye Guan decided not to fight. He had already profited from his fight against the Battle Sovereign, and it was time to call it a day. He could continue and try to fight the Demon Sovereign, but what if he ended up dying?
Ye Guan retreated to stand beside Erya and An Nanjing.
Little White extended her claws, and the Qingxuan Sword flew to her.
Ye Guan hurriedly tightened his grip on the ancient copper shield.
Little White blinked before pointing her tiny claw at Ye Guan’s shield and pointing at herself afterward. She was obviously trying to tell Ye Guan that the ancient copper shield was hers.
After a few moments of hesitation, Ye Guan said, “Lend it to me for a while...”
Little White’s eyes widened, and she stared at Ye Guan in disbelief.
Ye Guan was slightly guilty. “Well... I’ll return it to you once we're done here, okay?”
Little White blinked again, thinking about his offer.
Ye Guan quickly added, “I'll return it to you. I swear on my father’s name!"
Swoosh!
Little White rushed over to Ye Guan and tugged at the ancient copper shield with her tiny claws.
Ye Guan’s expression froze. What the fuck? What kind of person is my father? Is he really unreliable to the point that he'd even violate an oath?
Ye Guan felt helpless and could only give the shield back to Little White. He was not going to try and rob her. In fact, he dared not do something like that because he would just get beaten up. After all, he was still too weak compared to his relatives.
Sigh! He sighed to himself. He was truly too weak!
The Demon Sovereign glanced at Ye Guan before he laughed heartily and said, “Why don’t all of you come at me at the same time?”
At the same time? Ye Guan froze. So he's that arrogant?
An Nanjing glanced at him and flicked her wrist. A spear appeared in her hand, and she took a stance, ready to attack. However, something strange happened all of a sudden.
Boom!
A mysterious aura made a beeline for them—no, for the Demon Sovereign!
Everyone was shocked. Who's coming?
The cultivators of the Eternal Civilisation were puzzled, and they wondered if reinforcements were coming. They looked at Jingchen, but he looked as puzzled as them. The aura was completely unfamiliar to him.
Are they from the Guanxuan Universe?
Jingchen's face darkened upon seeing the strange expressions on An Nanjing and the rest.
An Nanjing and the others glanced at each other, surprised. They didn't expect that he would come here.
Among them, only Ye Guan looked lost. He had no idea who was coming.
The Demon Sovereign laughed out loud and said, “Finally, a slightly bigger ant has come! The rest of you, please wait here and don't interfere. I’ll take their head and come back with it soon.”
He turned into a ray of black light and rushed to the depths of the starry sky.
The Battle Sovereign frowned. He felt that the mysterious aura wasn't simple at all. He wanted to warn the Demon Sovereign, but then he remembered how hot-tempered the Demon Sovereign was. If he went up to warn him, an altercation would probably break out between them. Hence, he decided not to do anything.
The Demon Sovereign finally came to a halt. He put his right hand behind him and waited silently, his face full of unconcealed arrogance.
A spacetime rift was torn open in front of him, and a swordsman slowly walked out of the rift. He was wearing a white, long robe with a sheathed longsword in his left hand. His pace seemed unhurried and carefree. He was a swordsman, but he didn't have an overbearing aura. Actually, he seemed pretty easygoing.
The Demon Sovereign frowned. The white-robed swordsman emitted not even the slightest trace of profound energy, making him appear as though he were a mortal.
I can’t feel his cultivation base! The Demon Sovereign was slightly puzzled, and he began to feel wary. The white-robed swordsman before him seemed to be a formidable opponent.
The white-robed swordsman examined the Demon Sovereign from top to bottom before asking, "Were you the one who claimed invincibility?”
"Yes, that's me!" The Demon Sovereign chuckled and said, “Why? Unhappy?”
The white-robed swordsman replied, “Not really, I was just afraid that you were just bragging.”
“Haha!” The Demon Sovereign guffawed and said, “Don’t worry, I'm truly invincible.”
"I hope so." the white-robed swordsman nodded and said, “I’m going to attack now.”
The Demon Sovereign opened his arms. “Come and try to kill me, then.”
The white-robed swordsman froze a little, seemingly hesitant. He just wanted to spar with the Demon Sovereign; he didn't have to kill the latter. In addition, he hadn't come all the way here to kill someone.
"Please... try to kill me!" the Demon Sovereign urged. He cackled maniacally, and a terrifying wave of demonic energy pervaded the starry sky around them; the surrounding spacetime also quivered violently.
Domineering! The Demon Sovereign seemed unashamed about showing how domineering and ferocious he was, but it wasn't strange at all. He was strong, so he had the right to be domineering and ferocious.
He also had enough confidence. After all, he had only suffered defeat twice in his whole life.
So what if the white-robed swordsman looked formidable? Without the Great Daoist Brush Master, he was pretty much invincible in this world—invincible!
The Demon Sovereign laughed madly and transformed into a ray of demonic light that shot toward the white-robed swordsman.
He had decided to make the first move, and he had decided to go all-out!
The white-robed swordsman drew his sword and slashed out.
Schwing!
The demonic energy that had pervaded the starry sky around them vanished in an instant. The Demon Sovereign's attack also scattered and dispersed like smoke as a sword light pierced his forehead, immobilizing him.
The Demon Sovereign's eyes widened, and he looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His mind went blank. Who am I? What the fuck happened to me? Did he just suppress me in an instant?!
The Demon Sovereign was shocked.
The white-robed swordsman looked extremely disappointed as he said, “I should have listened to Brother Yang!”
He had traveled millions of miles just for an ant?
Irritated, the white-robed swordsman couldn't help but say, “How dare you say that you're invincible when you're so weak?!"
The Demon Sovereign couldn't speak as he trembled not out of fury but out of fear.
He was terrified out of his wits! He was a Great Destiny Sovereign, and his overall prowess was higher than some Cosmic Spirits, but he was suppressed in the blink of an eye.
Just who is he? The Demon Sovereign cast a trembling gaze upon the white-robed swordsman.
The white-robed swordsman gave one final glance at the Demon Sovereign before turning around to leave. He could kill the Demon Sovereign with just a single thought, so the latter's life didn't really matter to him.
The Demon Sovereign was just too weak, and he felt like he would trample on an ant if he were to kill the Demon Sovereign. Humans usually wouldn't go out of their way to stomp an ant to death, right?
The Demon Sovereign saw that the white-robed swordsman was leaving, so he hurriedly called out to stop him, “You’re from the Guanxuan Universe, aren’t you?!”
The Guanxuan Universe? The white-robed swordsman stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at the Demon Sovereign.
"Are you an enemy of the Guanxuan Universe?” he asked.
The Demon Sovereign was quiet.
The white-robed swordsman muttered, “My brother had established the Guanxuan Universe, and since you are an enemy of the Guanxuan Universe...”
The white-robed swordsman slashed out with his sword, erasing the Demon Sovereign from this world. The white-robed swordsman shook his head slightly and muttered to no one in particular, “Why are these liars even claiming that they're invincible?”
Many years had passed, but only that person from the True Universe was actually strong enough to stand against him. Unfortunately, she was in the middle of suppressing a Universe Tribulation, so he couldn't fight her.
What a pity...
The plain-skirt lady was there, but she wasn't in a mood to fight. She was having the time of her life in Milky Way.
Sigh! He sighed to himself and muttered, “It is lonely to be invincible!”
He turned around to leave, but he suddenly thought of something and decided to observe the battlefield below him. He hesitated for a little while, but he eventually decided to stay behind and see what was going on.
He had to make sure that the descendant of his Brother Yang was doing fine.
...
Everyone craned their necks to look up at the starry sky. They waited, waited, and waited, but the Demon Sovereign didn't return. The cultivators of the Eternal Civilization frowned. How fierce was their battle that it was taking so long?
Meanwhile, An Nanjing and the rest were calm. They already knew what would happen upon sensing the white-robed swordsman's aura.
All of a sudden, Qing’er wearing a white skirt appeared next to Ye Guan.
“Let’s go back to the Guanxuan Universe.”
"Aunt?" Ye Guan was surprised. “Did something happen to the Guanxuan Universe?”
"Nothing happened to it." Qing’er smiled and explained, "There are people there to stop the Eternal Civilization from even approaching it.
Ye Guan wanted to say something.
However, Qing'er interrupted him and said, “You’re not strong enough yet, so if you stay here, we—”
Qing'er stopped mid-sentence. After a while, she said, “The Guanxuan Universe needs someone to take charge of the overall situation, so the three of you should return.”
She was referring to Nalan Jia, Little White, and Ye Guan.
Ye Guan understood what his aunt was trying to tell him. He was strong, but his strength was temporary. His cultivation base was actually starting to drop. After all, his current cultivation base was the result of a secret technique.
The side effects of the secret technique weren't that dangerous, but maintaining the boosted state for an extended period of time would take a great toll on Ye Guan's body and soul.
Ye Guan also admitted that he would only be a burden if he were to stay here.
Of course, it also applied to Nalan Jia and Little White.
Nalan Jia had many powerful divine items, but she was too weak to use them properly, even with Little White’s help. Qin Guan was the only one capable of using those items properly, and she wouldn't dare to use them casually, as they were too strong—strong enough to inadvertently harm allied troops.
Ye Guan immediately got ready to leave with Nalan Jia and Little White. They would become the main targets of the enemies if they were to stay here, so they had to leave to relieve An Nanjing and the others of the burden of protecting them.
But before they could leave, however, a chuckle echoed from the periphery of the starry sky.
“Thinking of leaving?”
Boom!
A massive chunk of the starry sky burst into flames, and the governing laws of nature around the starry sky were slowly getting annihilated.
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. Who's here? The Eternal Sovereign?
