Chapter 1228: Overwhelming All

Ye Guan paid no attention to Pan Ling; he trusted his sister completely.

From afar, Ye An saw Pan Ling aiming to strike. Without hesitation, she raised her long spear and struck it down.

Boom!

The eerie light was shattered instantly, and the spinning disk was sent flying.

Ye An slowly turned her gaze toward Pan Ling. Looking at her former friend, her eyes were calm and cold. The moment Pan Ling chose to side with the Genesis Daoist Temple, their friendship was over.

Turning to Zang Gang behind her, Ye An asked, "Done yet?"

Zang Gang shook her head furiously. "Not yet."

Ye An was momentarily speechless.

After absorbing Ye An's Mad Demon Bloodline, Zang Gang's aura had grown disturbingly abnormal. It was deeply sinister, radiating a malevolence even more intense than Ye An's own. Her eyes were now like a sea of blood.

The transformation was becoming increasingly ominous.

Meanwhile, the restrained Divine Attendant Yu asked, "What kind of sword is that?"

Ye Guan glanced at him.

Before Divine Attendant Yu could say anything, Ye Guan made a decision.

Boom!

Divine Attendant Yu's soul was devoured.

However, Ye Guan frowned. Something felt off, but he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he swung his sword toward Divine Attendant Pei still standing nearby.

Time was running out.

If he couldn't eliminate those Divine Attendants before his time ran out, he would be at their mercy.

Seeing Ye Guan's approach, Divine Attendant Pei narrowed her eyes, preparing to retaliate, but just then, Zuo Lou bellowed, "Restrain him!"

Thousands of auras erupted from the battlefield, converging on Ye Guan like a tidal wave.

The Shenzhou Guards!

None of these guards were Supreme Ancestors, but their collective auras resembled an unstoppable flood. The force bore down on the world, capable of crushing everything in its path, no less threatening than a Supreme Ancestor's power.

Facing this overwhelming force, Ye Guan didn't retreat. He stepped forward and unleashed a devastating sword strike.

Shiiing!

The seemingly unstoppable wave was ripped apart.

Zuo Lou's face darkened as he realized Ye Guan's sword was beyond reason. No matter what divine artifact or overwhelming power it encountered, the sword would annihilate it in an instant. Even the might of a Supreme Ancestor wasn't immune.

Unless their strength vastly surpassed Ye Guan's, the latter was an invincible force with that sword in hand.

Turning to Divine Attendant Pei, Zuo Lou bowed slightly and solemnly said, "With that sword, we stand no chance. Perhaps we should retreat?"

Divine Attendant Pei glanced at him. "No."

Zuo Lou hesitated but eventually nodded. "Understood."

Divine Attendant Pei added, "Just a little more time."

Zuo Lou gave her a sidelong glance and nodded before readying himself.

Just then, a sword hum echoed across the battlefield.

Ye Guan was charging toward the Shenzhou Guards.

"Defense!" Zuo Lou commanded urgently.

The thousand-strong Shenzhou Guards leapt into the air, forming an impenetrable formation to block Ye Guan's path.

Ye Guan's eyes narrowed as his blood sea surged within.

The Mad Demon Bloodline came to life!

Ye Guan's strength soared. With one swing of his sword, over a dozen Shenzhou Guards fell instantly, and their blood was instantly absorbed.

The chilling sight stunned the onlookers.

Ye Guan's bloodline power was just as terrifying as Ye An's.

Ye Guan continued on his frenzied assault, taking down Shenzhou Guard after Shenzhou Guard. With the Qingxuan Sword in one hand and a sword made from sword intent in his other, he was at his strongest.

In just a few moments, he reaped a few dozen lives.

As the Shenzhou Guards fell, Zuo Lou's expression grew grim. These elite cultivators were nurtured at great cost, and in just moments, over thirty had perished. His heart bled at the loss.

Even worse, the nearby forces from Wuzhou showed no inclination to help, relishing the Shenzhou Guards' misfortune.

"Retreat!" Zuo Lou barked.

At his command, the remaining guards fled without hesitation. Facing Ye Guan, resistance only meant death. His sword and bloodline were too overwhelming.

Ye Guan didn't pursue them.

Instead, his gaze shifted to Divine Attendant Pei, who was still standing.

"Supreme Ancestors, all together!" Divine Attendant Pei exclaimed.

With no hesitation, Divine Ancestor Yin surged forward, joining the fray. Zuo Lou and Huai Hou hesitated for a brief second before charging forward.

Four Supreme Ancestors charged at Ye Guan at the same time. Their combined power forced Ye Guan back thousands of meters in an instant.

But even before Ye Guan could fully stabilize himself, the four descended upon him again, unleashing a deafening explosion that sent him flying. It was four against one now, and no one cared about fairness anymore.

From afar, Ye An saw her brother overwhelmed. Without another thought, she abandoned Zang Gang and charged into the battle with her spear in hand.

Meanwhile, Zang Gang sat cross-legged, closing her blood-red eyes as the Mad Demon Bloodline within her boiled like magma. She continued absorbing the bloodline power she had taken from Ye An.

Back on the battlefield, Ye An's arrival turned the tide instantly.

Bang!

With a single strike, she sent Zuo Lou staggering back. Even as he stopped, her spear shot toward him like lightning, forcing him into a hasty defense.

Boom!

Zuo Lou was thrown back once again.

Ye An shifted her focus, delivering a devastating blow to Huai Hou.

Kaboom

!

Blood-red spear light flashed through the sky, and Huai Hou was forced to retreat as well.

After Huai Hou came to a stop, he glanced at his slightly cracked right hand, visibly shocked. The strength of this brother-and-sister pair was truly abnormal, each more monstrous than the other.

He couldn't help but feel a mix of curiosity and dread toward the forces behind Ye Guan and Ye An.

To nurture such talented prodigies, the faction behind them couldn't possibly be ordinary. At the very least, they had to have three elites in the Supreme Ancestor Realm, or perhaps even stronger beings beyond that realm...

Huai Hou's face darkened.

Do they have experts stronger than Supreme Ancestors?

Despite his fear, he had no way out at this point. It was do or die.

Not far away, the pressure on Ye Guan eased considerably after two Supreme Ancestor experts were forced back.

With the power of his bloodline and the Qingxuan Sword, he could hold his own against two Supreme Ancestors and even suppress them. However, killing them was still highly challenging, as Divine Attendant Pei and Divine Attendant Yin had grown more cautious.

They avoided direct confrontation and instead focused on stalling him.

They're stalling for time!

Ye Guan's expression darkened at the realization.

Could reinforcements be on the way? Wait! There's still a Divine Attendant who has yet to appear!

His face turned grim as he glanced toward Zang Gang. She was still seated, absorbing the Mad Demon Bloodline. He frowned.

Could she really be my relative?

Zang Gang was the only person he'd ever seen capable of devouring the Mad Demon bloodline like this...

𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Setting the thought aside, Ye Guan refocused on the two Divine Attendants. The next moment, the power of his Mortal Bloodline surged within him.

Two bloodlines! As the power of his Mortal Bloodline emerged, Ye Guan's aura skyrocketed once more.

The two Divine Attendants watching from a distance grew somber.

Not just them—the surrounding crowd was equally stunned.

Another bloodline? And it wasn't any weaker than the first one!

Divine Attendant Yin glared at Ye Guan. "I refuse to believe your ancestors are

that

impressive!"

With that, he transformed into a streak of dark light and charged at Ye Guan.

Beside him, Divine Attendant Pei joined the assault.

Ye Guan's expression remained stoic as the two Divine Attendants approached. The next moment, he abruptly swung his sword.

Boom!

A wave of sword light erupted, blasting both of them backward.

Just then, a frantic voice echoed in Ye Guan's mind.

Little Pagoda shouted,

"Hurry! Time's almost up!"

Time is running out!

Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light and lunged at the two Divine Attendants, who immediately retreated without engaging him directly.

Without that sword, they wouldn't have feared him. But with it in hand, they dared not confront him head-on. A direct clash would mean certain death or severe injury.

For them, stalling was the only goal.

However, Ye Guan couldn't afford delays. If time ran out and his cultivation base ended up getting sealed again, his sister would never be able to hold off the four Supreme Ancestors.

He couldn't keep relying on his father and aunt to handle everything.

Besides, he had made a promise to his aunt this time!

Determined, Ye Guan's killing intent surged. The power of both the Mad Demon and Mortal Bloodlines ignited within him. Locking onto Divine Attendant Pei, he soared with his sword.

To push his speed to the limits, he even began burning his own fleshly body.

With the combined power of two bloodlines and the Qingxuan Sword, Ye Guan's attack reached unprecedented ferocity.

In the distance, Divine Attendant Pei initially considered retreating as Ye Guan closed in, but then her lips curled into a faint smile. Instead of dodging, she allowed Ye Guan's sword to pierce directly between her brows.

Ye Guan froze.

Everyone else froze as well.

What happened?

Suddenly, Ye Guan seemed to sense something. He looked up sharply toward the depths of the starry skies. There, three divine beams of light pierced the stars and descended upon the battlefield.

The beams of divine light landed in this spacetime, and instantly, their overwhelming pressure engulfed the area. Under this oppressive force, everyone, even Zuo Lou and Huai Hou, felt suffocated.

The crowd was horrified.

Ye Guan stared at the three beams of divine light.

When the radiance faded away, three figures emerged...

Divine Attendant Pei, Divine Attendant Yin, and Divine Attendant Yu!

The three Divine Attendants were shrouded by a divine light that seemed capable of suppressing a myriad beings.

Everyone finally understood what was going on.

The Divine Attendants had finally arrived in their true forms!

A deathly silence descended.
