Chapter 463: He’s All Yours, Aunt
The power of Ye Guan's sword had increased several times under the enhancement of two bloodline powers.
The Eternal Sovereign's face turned serious. The young swordsman was no longer the same ant he once easily suppressed. The Eternal Sovereign had to start taking him seriously now!
Having made up his mind, the Eternal Sovereign adjusted his mindset.
When Ye Guan's sword came rushing toward him, the Eternal Sovereign opened his right hand and lowered it gently. The surrounding spacetime instantly became illusory.
The Eternal Sovereign pointed at Xuanyuan.
Bam!
Xuanyuan trembled violently and came to a screeching halt, unable to move even an inch forward.
The Eternal Sovereign then spread his fingers and clamped down on the sword. He squeezed powerfully, wanting to split the sword into two.
Bam!
Xuanyuan shook violently, but it remained intact.
The Eternal Sovereign's eyes narrowed in complete shock. He didn't expect that Xuanyuan was strong enough to withstand his immense power.
Ye Guan unexpectedly let go of Xuanyuan and swung his fist.
Eternal Moments!
BOOM!
A destructive force swept toward the Eternal Sovereign, inundating him in an instant and blasting him at least a kilometer away. Meanwhile, Xuanyuan returned to Ye Guan's hands, and Ye Guan himself vanished.
He reappeared right in front of the Eternal Sovereign with Xuanyuan in hand.
The Eternal Sovereign's gaze turned cold, and he disappeared like a ghost.
Swoosh!
Ye Guan struck nothing but air. Then, he frowned upon realizing that he couldn't feel the Eternal Sovereign's presence.
Moments later, Ye Guan looked up and saw a colossal, illusory hand descending upon him. Before Ye Guan could move, however, the spacetime around him solidified, immobilizing him completely.
Ye Guan raised his sword to attack but was astonished to find a mysterious force suppressing wanted to unleash a sword attack but was shocked to discover that there was a mysterious force restraining him along with the nearby spacetime.
Swoosh!
A faint beam of light manifested before Ye Guan and made a beeline for his glabella. Ye Guan's eyes narrowed, but he remained calm in the face of death. The faint beam of light moved fast, but a thought from Ye Guan's end stirred Xuanyuan.
Xuanyuan vanished and slashed out toward the faint beam of light.
Boom!
The starry skies trembled violently as Xuanyuan put an end to the faint beam of light's approach.
Ye Guan roared angrily, and his sword intent was reinforced by the combined power of two of his bloodlines. His sword intent soon manifested in the shape of a sword.
Crackle!
A crisp noise echoed as the colossal, illusory hand descending upon Ye Guan shattered into innumerable light fragments. However, an afterimage was speeding toward Ye Guan. Ye Guan's eyes narrowed into slits. Then, he opened his palm, and Xuanyuan appeared in his hand.
Ye Guan took a stance with Xuanyuan by sheathing it, and then he drew it quickly, executing a powerful move.
Hum!
A resonant sword hum rang out as Ye Guan unleashed a sword move containing three Heavenrends with nine hundred stacks each, condensed into three Space Overlaps and compressed into one sword move before being enhanced by the power of his bloodlines!
The sword attack was so powerful that everyone only saw a shadow being blasted away into the distance. Moments later, everyone was astonished to find that the shadow was the Eternal Sovereign!
The Eternal Sovereign looked down at his fist and saw that it had shattered completely upon taking the brunt of Ye Guan's sword attack. Blood flowed incessantly out of the Eternal Sovereign's wounds.
The Eternal Sovereign looked up and stared at Ye Guan in the distance.
"This doesn't make sense," the Eternal Sovereign muttered in disbelief. In his opinion, the entire situation did not make any sense at all. Ye Guan looks like he's in his early twenties, so how come he's already strong enough to injure me?
This doesn't make any sense at all!
The Eternal Sovereign's expression was ugly as he glared at Ye Guan.
Meanwhile, the expressions of the Eternal Sovereign's followers looked as ugly as the Eternal Sovereign's expression. They had chosen to follow the Eternal Sovereign for the sake of a brighter future.
The Eternal Sovereign's plan was to overturn the current order throughout the vast expanse and re-establish it. By then, they would be able to live forever. However, they truly didn't expect that the Eternal Sovereign would be unable to defeat a young man,
At this point, everyone had the same thought in mind. Can he really do this?
Everyone silently got ready to bail.
"A divine sword and two bloodline powers," the Eternal Sovereign said, "Must you rely on external help to win?"
The Eternal Sovereign knew that Ye Guan's incredible combat prowess was all because of his two bloodline powers and the divine sword in his hands. If it hadn't been for those three, Ye Guan would have died at his hands long ago.
Ye Guan shook his head and said, "Eternal Sovereign, how can you bring yourself to say such shameless words? You're already bullying me by choosing to fight me, but you actually want me to fight you without a sword?
"As for these bloodlines, they're my own blood, and they're a part of my body. What's wrong with me using their power? If you have bloodline power, you can use it, too!"
The Eternal Sovereign glared quietly at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan laughed and asked, "What's the matter, you don't have any?"
"Technically, your bloodline belongs to your ancestors, so it can be said that you're relying on them," the Eternal Sovereign said.
Ye Guan nodded and shrugged. "You can't blame me for having such a good father."
"Hahaha!" The Sword Master burst out into laughter, enjoying his son's flattery.
The Eternal Sovereign looked down at his right hand and saw that it had healed completely. Then, he raised his head to look at Ye Guan, saying, "Let me see just how good you are, then."
The Eternal Sovereign's figure flashed as he turned into a ray of golden light that rushed toward Ye Guan!
Ye Guan's eyes turned cold, and without any hesitation, he transformed into a radiant ray of sword light, charging toward the Eternal Sovereign as well.
It was time for another round!
A deafening explosion reverberated across the starry sky.
Ye Guan and the Eternal Sovereign were both extremely powerful, and their exchange of moves made the surrounding spacetime tremble non-stop.
Ye Guan became more and more imposing as he fought; he had gotten extremely strong, all thanks to his bloodline power. However, he could still become even more terrifying. If he were to allow his Mad Demon Bloodline to take over his consciousness, his combat prowess would skyrocket.
However, Ye Guan chose not to succumb to it and tried his best to remain in control
Upon seeing that Ye Guan and the Eternal Sovereign seemed to be on par with each other, the expressions of the strong cultivators behind the Eternal Sovereign turned grim. They initially thought that the Eternal Sovereign would make quick work of Ye Guan, but it was clear that they were mistaken.
The woman in Daoist robes exclaimed, "The Eternal Sovereign is holding back!"
Everyone looked at the woman in Daoist robes.
The woman in the Daoist robes stared alternatingly at the plain-skirt lady and the Sword Master before explaining, "From the reports that we've received, the plain-skirt lady, the Sword Master, and the True God are our strongest enemies.
"In other words, the Eternal Sovereign's real target is those three rather than Ye Guan."
Everyone nodded in understanding as they swept their gazes across the three figures nearby. There was something strange about those three people, and it was the fact that they couldn't sense their auras at all.
It was abnormal, as they were supreme elites in their own generation, yet they couldn't sense the auras of those three people. In other words, those three people couldn't be ordinary people.
"Don't overthink it," the woman in the Daoist robes said, "Everything is under the Eternal Sovereign's control."
Everyone nodded and stopped speculating. They were all first-hand witnesses of the Eternal Sovereign's power. Otherwise, they wouldn't have decided to follow him. In other words, they went silent, as they had chosen to trust the Eternal Sovereign.
On the other side, Cirou asked, "Big Sister, why is he so strong? Is it because of his bloodline powers and Xuanyuan?"
Cizhen looked at Ye Guan with a smile, but she didn't say anything at all.
Cirou rolled her eyes. "Look at you, acting all mysterious."
Cizhen didn't take her eyes off Ye Guan as she said, "His Sword Dao has already reached the limits of the Ephemeral Transcendence Realm..."
Cirou's eyes narrowed. "Are you saying that he's about to make a breakthrough?"
"It all depends on his decision."
Boom!
A deafening noise echoed as both Ye Guan and the Eternal Sovereign were forced backward. A kaleidoscope of golden lights and radiant sword lights erupted in all directions, creating a terrifying scene.
The moment Ye Guan came to a halt, he closed his eyes immediately and retracted his sword intent. Then, he opened his eyes and glared at the Eternal Sovereign in the distance. He flipped open his right hand and pressed it down slowly.
The surging bloodlines inside of him calmed down instantly as he suppressed them.
The Eternal Sovereign frowned. "What are you doing?"
Soon, the two bloodlines were suppressed.
Ye Guan then waved his sleeve, putting away Xuanyuan.
The Eternal Sovereign revealed a face full of confusion.
Ye Guan opened his palm, and his sword intent manifested above his palm.
Rumble!
A low rumbling echoed from inside Ye Guan as a terrifying aura burst out of him; at the same time, the sword intent above his palm took to the skies, creating a massive column of sword light that seemed to be in the middle of a qualitative change.
At the sight, Cizhen smirked and remarked. "That brat is truly a box full of surprises. I didn't expect that he'd choose to make a breakthrough; he has been suppressing even his cultivation base, after all."
"A breakthrough?" Cirou stared at Ye Guan and asked, "Is his Sword Dao about to enter the Divine Realm?"
Cizhen grinned. "He's half a step away from the Divine Realm. He still needs a world-shaking battle to prove the essence of his Sword Dao."
Cirou frowned.
"Little Rou..." Cizhen muttered, "You have to make sure to buy him a lot of time. A hundred years... yes, a hundred years should be enough."
Cirou glanced at Cizhen and clenched her fists.
The Eternal Sovereign's expression became gloomy. He was truly surprised to see the young swordsman making a breakthrough in the middle of their battle. Fuck! Is he cheating or something?
His followers had the same expression as him. They couldn't believe that Ye Guan was making a breakthrough during a fight.
Ye Guan opened his eyes slowly and looked at the Eternal Sovereign. He lifted his chin, full of unprecedented confidence. I can still kill you even without Xuanyuan or the power of my bloodline!
Ye Guan had become confident enough to defeat the Eternal Sovereign without relying on external help.
Ye Guan took a stance and was about to make a move when the Eternal Sovereign exclaimed, "Attack him together!"
Attack him together? The Eternal Sovereign's followers were stunned. Are we going to gang up on him?
The Eternal Sovereign looked at Ye Guan and warned, "I have many people here."
Ye Guan asked, "Are you sure you don't want to fight fairly?"
The Eternal Sovereign burst out into laughter and said, "I told you I have many people here!"
Ye Guan fell silent.
"Unhappy?" the Eternal Sovereign sneered, "Go and call your own people, too!"
Hearing that, Ye Guan decisively turned around to face the plain-skirt lady. Then, he bowed slightly and said, "He's all yours, Aunt."
In response, the plain-skirt lady started walking toward the Eternal Sovereign.
