Chapter 1047: Save My Ancestor

Zhang Nan and the others were stunned.

What was happening?

Yama Dharmaraja stared at Zhang Nan, and his expression was unusually calm as he asked, "You left him behind?"

Zhang Nan sensed that something was off, but she could only brace herself at this point. She hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yes, he's a calamity. If I had brought him here, we would have—"

Boom!

A terrifying aura descended on Zhang Nan. The immense pressure forced her to the ground.

Zhang Nan was completely dumbfounded.

Yama Dharmaraja glared at Zhang Nan, and his gaze was terrifyingly cold as he spat, "If something happens to Young Master Ye, I will wipe out your entire clan."

His projection then disappeared.

Zhang Nan and her guards were left with their minds buzzing.

***

Three powerful figures were standing before a dilapidated ruin inside an ancient secret realm; their expressions were solemn, and one of them was none other than Yama Dharmaraja.

An elderly man with white hair and a beard chuckled. "The restrictions in this place haven't budged at all despite our efforts in the past billion years. Who could have thought that Lady Qin would easily break through them?

"She is Truly remarkable."

Yama Dharmaraja and another old man in a hemp robe smiled.

Just then, Yama Dharmaraja's brow furrowed. The other two elders looked at him.

The white-haired elder asked, "What's wrong?"

Yama Dharmaraja's expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned around to leave.

The white-haired old man and the hemp-robed old man were stunned. The hemp-robed old man asked, "Yama Dharmaraja, the restriction has been broken. Where are you going?"

Without turning back, Yama Dharmaraja replied, "To save someone."

The hemp-robed elder frowned, "Who could be more important than the ruins of the Multiverse Emperor?"

Yama Dharmaraja said, "My ancestor!"

With that, he disappeared into thin air.

Ancestor?

The two elders looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.

Does he even have an ancestor?

***

Ye Guan was still locked in a fierce battle against the black-robed man. At this moment, he still hadn't used the Qingxuan Sword, so he was being heavily suppressed. However, the more he fought, the stronger he became.

The aura of his sword intent was growing stronger as well.

Meanwhile, the black-robed man fighting him frowned deeply. He realized that even though he was suppressing the young swordsman in front of him, the boy was incredibly tenacious. He could suppress him but couldn't kill him.

Moreover, the young swordsman was growing stronger amidst the fight.

He couldn't keep dragging this out. He stopped attacking and gestured. Upon seeing his hand signal, the two black-robed men in the distance immediately disappeared.

Three versus one!

Seeing that his opponents had decided to gang up on him, Ye Guan's eyes narrowed, and a killing intent surged within them. The sword in his hand transformed into the Qingxuan Sword, and his three bloodlines churned.

Ye Guan slashed downward with all his mind.

Buzz!

A buzzing noise reverberated throughout the universe region.

When Ye Guan changed swords, the expressions of the three black-robed men changed drastically, and they hurriedly retreated. However, they were still caught by Ye Guan's strike.

Ye Guan's sword severed the right hand of the leading black-robed man!

The three black-robed men looked at Ye Guan in shock.

Instead of retreating, Ye Guan pressed forward, charging directly at them.

The leading black-robed man warned, "Be careful of that sword!"

With that, the three of them stepped forward simultaneously, and their powerful auras converged into one. Then, they transformed into three beams of light and charged at Ye Guan.

Boom!

Terrifying shockwaves of power erupted across the universe region. Sword energy and black light scattered everywhere, leaving the starry sky shattered and in ruins.

The three black-robed men looked at Ye Guan, and their faces were unusually grave.

Ye Guan was forced back tens of thousands of meters away before coming to a halt. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but he was incredibly agitated, as he had activated his Mad Demon Bloodline. He was growing increasingly mad.

His killing intent surged to the skies!

Ye Guan licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned widely. The next moment, he transformed into a streak of sword light and charged at the three black-robed men once again.

His killing intent would not rest until one side was dead!

Compared to his sword intent, his Mad Demon Bloodline was actually more terrifying. After activating it, his divine nature would be unleashed. He couldn't suppress it with his humanity, but the Mad Demon Bloodline at full power gave him access to horrifying strength.

Seeing that Ye Guan was injured but had still chosen to attack, the three black-robed men frowned deeply. Then, they transformed into three beams of light and disappeared.

Soon, the three beams of light and the sword light collided again. Although Ye Guan had the power of his bloodline, he still couldn't fight all three Verity Immortals at once and was blasted away.

Each time he stopped, however, he would charge at the three black-robed men again and again.

The three black-robed men frowned. The young man had gone mad after activating his bloodline. His fighting style was completely reckless!

Despite this, they dared not underestimate him; the sword in Ye Guan's hand could harm their true bodies.

As the fight dragged on, the expressions of the three black-robed men grew darker. Ye Guan's strength had skyrocketed.

When others activated their bloodlines or divine abilities, they'd grow weaker the longer they fought, but Ye Guan was only getting stronger...

Boom!

The blood-red sword lights shattered, and Ye Guan was knocked back again. As he stopped and prepared to charge once more, the space in the distance suddenly tore open. A long spear shot out from the rift.

Ye Guan's pupils shrank. The spear was too fast, and he could only raise his sword to block it.

Bang!

The Qingxuan Sword trembled violently, and the spear shattered, but Ye Guan himself was sent flying tens of thousands of meters away.

Little Pagoda cursed,

"Damn it! How shameless! They're already ganging up on you, and now they're going for a tag team?! Damn it"

Ye Guan stopped and felt a sweetness in his throat before spitting out a mouthful of blood. He wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked,

"Master Pagoda, are you not going to step in?"

Little Pagoda remained silent for a moment before replying, "I believe you can handle it."

Ye Guan was speechless.

Ye Guan slowly lifted his head to look at the distant enemy. From the rift in space, a middle-aged man wearing black reflective battle armor emerged.

Ye Guan had long realized that the black-robed men were much weaker than the Marquis. Clearly, not all Verity Immortals were equal in strength.

The newcomer was even stronger than the Marquis, and it was proven by how Ye Guan felt as if his organs were crumbling upon taking the brunt of just one attack.

The middle-aged man in black battle armor was greeted by the three black-robed men with respectful bows.

The middle-aged man stared at Ye Guan, and then he disappeared. The surrounding spacetime surged like tidal waves, rising tens of thousands of meters high.

Ye Guan's pupils shrank. He raised his Qingxuan Sword to block, and a torrent of sword intent rushed out of him as well.

Bang!

In an instant, Ye Guan and his sword were sent flying tens of thousands of meters away. When he stopped, the fleshly body he had formed from sword intent cracked all over.

Ye Guan's fleshly body screamed in pain.

The black-armored middle-aged man glanced at Ye Guan and asked, "Don't you have a swordsman in white backing you? Why don't you call him out?"

Ye Guan wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up at the black-armored middle-aged man.

Swoosh!

He transformed into a streak of sword light that flew toward the black-armored middle-aged man.

The black-armored middle-aged man remained calm. Flicking his wrist, his spear shot forward like a bolt of lightning.

Bang!

Ye Guan was sent flying once again.

However, the black-armored middle-aged man's brow furrowed because he noticed that his spear had cracked open.

The black-robed man beside him spoke in a low voice, "Sovereign Chu, that sword is quite unusual. It's definitely not something from a Tier Five Civilization..."

Sovereign Chu remained expressionless as he replied, "He killed members of the Devourer Civilization. His identity does not matter; blood will be repaid with blood."

The black-robed man nodded, saying no more.

Sovereign Chu stepped forward, and an invisible force swept across the battlefield, heading straight for Ye Guan.

Ye Guan's eyes held no fear as he stepped forward. The power of his bloodline and his Invincible Sword Intent rushed out of him like a tide, resisting the invisible pressure before him.

As soon as the two forces clashed, the starry region around them churned and boiled.

Sovereign Chu gripped the spear in his right hand and was about to attack when an invisible pressure descended on him.

Sovereign Chu frowned.

Yama Dharmaraja appeared in front of Ye Guan. When he saw that Ye Guan was fine, he let out a sigh of relief. The weight that had been hanging over his heart was lifted.

Sovereign Chu stared at Yama Dharmaraja. "Yama Dharmaraja, what is the meaning of this?"

Yama Dharmaraja turned to Sovereign Chu, saying, "Sovereign Chu, go back and tell your master that Young Master Ye is a friend of the Gui Zhe Civilization."

Sovereign Chu's eyes narrowed slightly. "Yama Dharmaraja, the Devourer Civilization must kill him. Are you sure you want to protect him?"

Smack!

Yama Dharmaraja had raised his hand to slap Sovereign Chu.

Sovereign Chu's pupils shrank abruptly, but before he could react, his fleshly body was shattered by a mysterious force, leaving him in his soul form.

Yama Dharmaraja looked at Sovereign Chu with utter disdain. "Who do you think you are? Do you even deserve to question me?"

Sovereign Chu stared at Yama Dharmaraja, but there wasn't the slightest trace of fear in his eyes. "Yama Dharmaraja, if you want to use your seniority to bully the weak, we naturally can't stop you.

"However, I can tell you one thing—my Devourer Civilization is determined to kill him. If you have the guts, then go ahead and kill all four of us."

The three black-robed men stepped forward in unison.

Yama Dharmaraja stared intently at Sovereign Chu and said, "Then let me tell you one thing as well—The Gui Zhe Civilization has firmly decided to protect Young Master Ye."

With that, he stepped aside and said, "He's standing right here. Try touching him."
