Chapter 1121: Feeling Invincible

The Great Daoist Brush Master frowned upon seeing them and asked, "What are those guys doing here again? Ye Guan only caused a little bit of chaos in the temporal spacetime. Is it really necessary to chase him down so relentlessly?

"Is there someone behind this? I think someone's scheming behind the scenes."

The Boundless Master asked curiously, "The Temporal Dao Hall? What is that?"

"It's an ancient organization from the Daoist Temple. Their civilization's ancestors were rather ordinary, but by chance, they entered the legendary Daoist Temple. When they emerged, they established the Temporal Dao Hall and began to control the flow of time in this known universe."

The Great Daoist Brush Master paused for a moment before continuing, "The Tianxing Life Tree from the Tianxing Civilization is from that Daoist Temple!"

The Boundless Master was confused. "How do you know all of those?"

"Is that surprising?"

"Very surprising." the Boundless Master nodded.

The Great Daoist Brush Master calmly replied, "Do you not think that I'm just some random fool?"

***

Nalan Ming was sitting in the main seat in the great hall of the Nalan Clan in Nanzhou. A man in black was standing before Nalan Ming, and he spoke something in a low voice.

Nalan Ming stared at him and asked, "Are you certain?"

The man in black nodded. "Absolutely. The Heavenly Dragon Clan has been destroyed, and she has severed her ties with the Academy Master..."

Nalan Ming closed his eyes and murmured, "No one can threaten Little Jia's position anymore."

The man in black hesitated, looking worried. "Clan Leader Nalan, they have begun investigating this matter. I wonder if it will..."

Nalan Ming asked, "How about Zong Wu?"

The man in black shook his head. "No, he never said a word."

Nalan Ming nodded, and his grip on the armrest loosened. "You may leave."

Nalan Ming opened his palm, and a storage ring floated toward the man in black. The man in black's heart skipped a beat as soon as he saw the ring. He quickly accepted it and respectfully said, "Thank you, Clan Leader Nalan."

With that, he bowed and retreated.

Once he left, an elder appeared behind Nalan Ming.

The elder hesitated for a moment before asking, "Clan Leader, do we need to—"

"Do not do anything. Our best move is not to fight." Nalan Ming's eyes narrowed, and he added, "Do not focus on the immediate benefits. Look further ahead..."

Ye Guan stood in place, watching the changes in his sword intent while feeling a little lost.

Just then, a terrifying aura erupted from the depths of the starry skies. The aura was so overwhelming that if left unchecked, it would destroy all of Qingzhou.

Everyone was shocked, and they all looked up in horror.

Ye Guan hopped onto his sword and tore through the powerful pressure heading toward Qingzhou. The next moment, he was in the starry starry skies up above.

Ye Guan looked at the golden-robed elder and asked, "Temporal Dao Hall?"

The golden-robed elder stared at Ye Guan. "Indeed, Temporal Dao Hall, Court of Literature."

Ye Guan calmly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Are you the ruler of this universe region?"

Ye Guan nodded.

"Two of our officials have perished in your universe region, and you must take responsibility.

Ye Guan looked back at him. "What if I don't?"

The golden-robed elder's eyes narrowed slightly. "Then this universe region will cease to exist."

"You're wrong," Ye Guan replied.

The golden-robed elder frowned and asked, "What do you mean, wrong?"

Ye Guan stared deeply at the golden-robed elder. "It's not two; it's three."

"

Huh?

" The golden-robed elder was puzzled. "But there were only two—"

Swoosh!

Ye Guan suddenly vanished and unsheathed his sword. Several powerful figures watching from the shadows stared at the scene in surprise.

The golden-robed elder's face changed drastically. He was about to make a move when a streak of sword light pierced his forehead, and a spray of blood erupted from the back of his head.

Ye Guan stood several meters behind the elder. He slowly sheathed Order and said, "Now, it's three, isn't it?"

The golden-robed elder's face was filled with disbelief. He couldn't understand how he was slain in an instant by a swordsman from a low-tier civilization.

Wasn't this universe region supposed to be full of ants?

When Ye Guan killed the golden-robed elder with just one move, the nearby group of golden-armored cultivators immediately panicked. Instead of retaliating, they turned and fled towards the golden spacetime tunnel.

While they were fleeing, another streak of sword light streaked across the battlefield. The sword light passed through them like a lightning bolt, killing them instantly.

Ye Guan could now use ninety percent of the Qingxuan Sword's entire strength, and it was all thanks to the level of his sword intent.

After slaying all his enemies with a single strike, Ye Guan looked up at the golden spacetime tunnel. He raised his hand and sent out another sword slash.

A brilliant sword light shot into the golden spacetime tunnel. Moments later, footsteps echoed from within the tunnel. Ye Guan's sword light shot back out, flying straight toward him. Ye Guan opened his palm, and the sword light landed neatly in his hand.

He stared at the golden spacetime tunnel, and soon, a figure clad in golden battle armor with a massive golden axe emerged from it.

The man's height far exceeded the height of normal human beings. The golden armor he wore was thick and solid. Every step he took was incredibly heavy, and it made the starry skies quake.

Ye Guan and the axe-wielding man stared at. The man was wearing a golden mask, and two blazing flames burned in place of his eyes.

The Boundless Master asked, "What is that thing?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master calmly replied, "That's just an elite monster. True bosses, like me, usually look more approachable, like someone you could meet at a tavern."

The Boundless Master was speechless.

The axe-wielding man stepped forward and raised his golden axe high above his head.

Boom!

The golden axe was engulfed in a blazing inferno of golden flames. The axe-wielding man leaped into the air, hurling himself directly at Ye Guan with overwhelming power.

Instead of swinging the axe, he used his fleshly body as a battering ram.

With that collision, it was as though a stone had fallen into a sheet of glass as the starry skies shattered in an instant.

The impact was so devastating that Ye Guan immediately felt an overwhelming pressure. He felt like a million troops had collided with him, suffocating him. It was so intense that Ye Guan found it hard to breathe.

If this were prior to his breakthroughs, Ye Guan wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure even with the Qingxuan Sword in hand. The attack was

that

strong.

However, Ye Guan had chosen to meet the attack head-on. He stomped forward with his right foot.

Boom!

In an instant, Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light, shooting forward with unimaginable speed. In the blink of an eye, countless ripples of Order Sword Intent flooded the starry skies.

Bam!

When the two collided, it was as if two planets had crashed into each other.

A cataclysmic might erupted violently, and a world-ending power was unleashed. The starry skies collapsed in an instant, transforming into an abyss of nothing.

Ye Guan and the axe-wielding man both staggered back, each retreating several thousand meters. As soon as Ye Guan stopped, a trickle of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. The axe-wielding man also halted, and his golden armor was covered in countless cracks.

If this were prior to his breakthroughs, Ye Guan wouldn't be able to break the golden armor's defenses without the Qingxuan Sword. If he were wielding the Qingxuan Sword, he'd easily pierce the golden armor.

The difference of just one-tenth was small, but it was big for experts like them. It meant that his sword intent, while extremely strong, was still imperfect.

The axe-wielding man frowned and looked at Ye Guan. The next moment, he lifted his right foot and stomped down hard. He roared, and waves of golden light rippled outward, sweeping toward Ye Guan like a tidal wave.

Ye Guan's eyes narrowed. With a flick of his sleeve, the Order Sword Intent surged forward, forming a shield made of sword intent.

Boom!

The golden waves crashed against Ye Guan's sword shield, each impact possessing immense power, but none of them could break through his sword intent.

Just then, the axe-wielding man leaped into the air. Holding his burning giant axe with both hands, he swung it down fiercely toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan's eyes narrowed. Rather than taking the blow head-on, he retreated a thousand meters away.

Bam!

The axe-wielding man's axe slammed down, but it struck nothing but empty space. The spot where Ye Guan had been standing was engulfed in terrifying waves of golden light.

The axe-wielding man jumped again, turning into a golden streak of light that flew toward Ye Guan. The overwhelming pressure swept across everything, and the starry skies collapsed beneath its might.

Ye Guan frowned deeply, realizing that, although the man's movements were heavy and clumsy, his attacks were surprisingly nimble and quick.

Ye Guan refrained from dodging and decided to fight head-on. He released his sword intent, and his figure trembled as he transformed into a streak of sword light that shot toward the axe-wielding man, meeting him in mid-air.

He was determined to face the challenge head-on. The axe-wielding man's golden armor already had numerous cracks. With another heavy blow, Ye Guan believed that he could shatter that heavy armor.

Boom!

A deafening explosion reverberated throughout the starry skies.

Ye Guan and the axe-wielding man were both blasted away.

When Ye Guan finally stopped, he felt an immense weight pressing down on him, and he felt like he was filled with lead.

He felt extreme pain coursing through him. Had it not been for his sword intent, his flesh and soul would have shattered into pieces.

Ye Guan looked up into the distance and saw that the axe-wielding man had stopped. However, what caught Ye Guan's eyes was the fact that the axe-wielding man's heavy armor was repairing itself somehow.

Ye Guan froze, and his face darkened.

He can repair his armor? Damn it!

After repairing his armor, the axe-wielding man produced a lick of golden flame and slammed it into his forehead.

𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Boom!

The flame engulfed his head, and the cracks on his golden armor healed rapidly.

A brilliant golden beam of light burst out from him. This beam of light shot into the depths of the starry skies. His aura surged wildly, but he wasn't done yet. He took out more than a dozen golden talismans and slapped them on himself.

Ye Guan had no idea what to say.

The axe-wielding man's aura skyrocketed.

Ye Guan silently drew the Qingxuan Sword. He had originally intended to fight his opponent fairly, but since the man had chosen to cheat first, Ye Guan could only follow suit.

The axe-wielding man's aura grew several times stronger, all thanks to the talismans. He roared and charged at Ye Guan with all his might.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan vanished into thin air.

With Order in his left hand and Qingxuan in his right, Ye Guan took on a stance and slashed both swords forward.

Boom!

The golden streak of light shattered, and the axe-wielding man was blown away. His golden armor and fleshly body cracked open in midair, spilling blood everywhere. As soon as he stopped, his soul exploded.

Ye Guan was confused.

I'm strong?

The attack just now was at least five times stronger than usual.

He felt... invincible!

Ye Guan instinctively turned to look at Clan Leader Jing and felt like exchanging a few moves with her.

Clan Leader Jing stared at Ye Guan without saying anything.

Rumble!

The starry sky churned. Then, the spacetime ruptured open, and a middle-aged man walked out from the rift.

Upon seeing him, Ye Guan's expression immediately darkened.

He was the Multiverse Emperor!

Before Ye Guan could process the sight, another spacetime rift opened, and a lady stepped out of it.

Ye Guan was stunned

The lady was none other than Yi Nian!

Ye Guan was about to step forward to greet her, but a hand suddenly appeared before him. It was Clan Leader Jing's hand, and her eyes were narrowed as she stared at the approaching Yi Nian.

Ye Guan finally noticed that something was off.

The black-red eye in Yi Nian's left eye socket was rotating slowly.

In the Qingzhou Sword Sect, the gemstone necklace around Yang Yian's neck vanished, and her right eye transformed into the same bizarre black-red color as Yi Nian's left eye.

Yang Yian's lips curled up into a wicked smile.
