Chapter 1235: Great Dao Divine Tribulation

Fan Zhaodi!

Ye Guan's eyes flashed with a mixture of complicated emotions as he looked at the lady before him. Although he had already suspected it, he still felt somewhat surprised upon learning the truth. He hadn't expected Fan Zhaodi to be involved all this time.

Hearing Ye Guan's words, Fan Zhaodi smiled. "When did you figure it out?"

"Only two people among those whom I know can shatter the Qingxuan Sword. One is Clan Leader Jing, and the other is you, Fan Zhaodi. It's obviously not Clan Leader Jing, so it must be you. And you have a reason to do so because of the Evil Dao."

The reason he hadn't immediately guessed the mysterious figure's identity was that he hadn't expected that Fan Zhaodi would be daring enough to do something like that. After all, she had been taught a lesson by his aunt, and those who had been taught a lesson by her would typically tone down and would not stir up trouble again.

However, he realized that things were not as simple as he had thought.

The key point was the Evil Dao!

Would Fan Zhaodi give up the Evil Dao?

The Evil Dao Alliance had nearly been exterminated in their attempt to save the Evil Dao. How could she possibly give it up so quickly?

Even so, he didn't dare to be completely certain that the mysterious figure was truly Fan Zhaodi.

After all, Fan Zhaodi had witnessed Plain-Skirt Destiny's power firsthand.

However, everything became clear to him after hearing Zuo Yan's words.

The disappearance of his destiny aura....

His opponent had been waiting for that very moment.

And his opponent's purpose, of course, was the Evil Dao. So, even though he knew that this journey into Tribulation World would be dangerous, he had no choice but to go, as Fan Zhaodi would definitely come to save the Evil Dao.

Fan Zhaodi suddenly smiled. "Ye Guan, there's another friend who wants to meet you."

The spacetime nearby was torn open, and a middle-aged man slowly stepped out of the rift.

The middle-aged man was none other than Ruan Cang.

"Young Master Ye, it's been a while." Ruan Cang greeted him.

Ye Guan glanced at Ruan Cang, and then he looked back at Fan Zhaodi. "Miss Fan, you're stirring up all this trouble just to wait for my destiny aura to disappear?"

"That's right."

"So, my destiny aura has finally disappeared?"

Fan Zhaodi shook her head slightly. "Young Master Ye, it seems that you still haven't realized the gravity of the situation. Of course, I understand. After all, you just experienced a huge surge in power. Now, you must be brimming with confidence. But unfortunately, I must tell you that your Order Sword Dao isn't perfect yet."

Ye Guan smiled, "Fan Zhaodi, do you think this conversation we're having is meaningful?"

"Are you looking for a fight with me?"

"I'd like to see your true strength."

However, Fan Zhaodi shook her head. "I'm not your opponent."

Ye Guan frowned upon hearing that.

Rumble!

The spacetime next to Fan Zhaodi was torn open once more, and a middle-aged man in Daoist robes slowly walked out of the rift.

Ye Guan's eyes widened in shock.

It was Daoist Zhang!

"Surprised, Young Master Ye?"

Ye Guan stared at Daoist Zhang. "You're from the Genesis Daoist Temple?"

"That's right." Daoist Zhang smiled. "The Genesis Daoist Temple has four main Divine Attendants, but there are also two Grand Envoys. I am one of them."

Just as he finished speaking, a monk in robes appeared behind him.

Ye Guan turned to Fan Zhaodi and gave her a thumbs-up. "Impressive."

Fan Zhaodi smiled, "Young Master Ye, there's someone who is even more impressive. Though, I wonder if you'll ever have the chance to see them."

Ye Guan pressed his left thumb against the hilt of his sword. "Is that so?"

Fan Zhaodi smiled, turning to Daoist Zhang. "Old Zhang, spar with him."

Daoist Zhang smiled. "Alright."

With that, he suddenly flicked his horsetail whisk.

In the blink of an eye, Daoist Zhang and Ye Guan appeared in a special spacetime region, surrounded by strange runes drifting in the air.

Daoist Zhang smiled, "Young Master Ye, this is a technique I've cultivated–-the Xuantian World. This world is isolated from the outside, so you may unleash all your power freely."

Ye Guan nodded slightly. Without further ado, he took a step forward.

Boom!

Sword force surged. At that moment, his sword force was entirely different from how it was before. As soon as the sword force appeared, it spread like a raging torrent through space, causing the entire Xuantian World to erupt in a violent response.

Daoist Zhang laughed heartily. "Well done!"

With that, he extended his hand and beckoned. "Great Dao Divine Lightning, come!"

Boom!

Suddenly, a thousand-meter-long Divine Lightning Bolt shot straight into the Xuantian World. The moment it entered, terrifying lightning power spread out from the heavens and earth, its power overwhelming.

Great Dao Divine Lightning was a type of tribulation lightning. It could only appear when one reached the Supreme Ancestor Realm. To become a Supreme Ancestor, not only did one need Divine Source Energy, but one also had to undergo tribulation.

Throughout history, countless geniuses had fallen under this Great Dao Divine Lightning.

A single wave of its lightning could obliterate a million civilizations.

If it weren't for Ye Guan's recent breakthrough, even a single lightning bolt would kill him..

But now...

Boom!

Sword force surged around Ye Guan, and his sword force countered the Divine Lightning.

Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light, soaring into the air.

Then, she slashed out at the streak of divine lightning.

Boom!

With a violent tremor, the streak of divine lightning exploded. The impact immediately blasted Ye Guan backward, sending him flying several tens of thousands of meters away.

The shockwave of the explosion sent terrifying fragments scattering in every direction.

Ye Guan looked at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand.

His arm had gone numb, and he had lost all feeling in it.

Daoist Zhang's voice echoed from a distance. "I've heard of the Qingxuan Sword's power. As expected, it's indeed impressive."

He then raised two fingers and pointed at Ye Guan. "Heart Lightning Tribulation, rise!"

Boom!

Ye Guan's eyes narrowed. From deep within his body, a fire-like lightning bolt suddenly ignited from his organs, spreading out across his entire body.

Heart Lightning Tribulation—a Daoist divine spell!

A cultivator would inevitably face many tribulations. The terrifying part of the Heart Lightning Tribulation was that once it was unleashed, all the tribulations the opponent had ever experienced would reappear. In an instant, the opponent would face all their past tribulations, burning them from inside out with divine lightning.

It could turn a person's organs to ashes, their limbs to dust, their bones to powder, and their soul to nothingness. Even the most powerful cultivator could be obliterated.

When Ye Guan sensed the Heart Lightning Tribulation erupting inside him, his face changed drastically. He had never encountered anything like this before, but he quickly regained his composure.

He gripped the Qingxuan Sword with both hands and thrust it into his abdomen.

The Qingxuan Sword pierced him and the Heart Lightning Tribulation. In an instant, the sword suppressed Heart Lightning Tribulation, and the lightning dissipated.

However, Daoist Zhang shouted, "Endless Tribulation!"

Boom!

𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The Xuantian World was filled with over ten thousand blazing Heart Lightning Tribulations. Daoist Zhang had gathered each from a different civilization. Every single one represented a fallen, unparalleled expert.

Heart Lightning Tribulation could devour the cultivator's strength, after all.

When these ten thousand Heart Lightning Tribulations appeared, the entire Xuantian World began to distort and shatter, unable to withstand the immense power.

Each time Daoist Zhang attacked, he would go all-out, not daring to underestimate Ye Guan. After Ye Guan's breakthrough, his power had surpassed that of an ordinary Supreme Ancestor Realm, especially with his Qingxuan Sword and sword intent; he was almost unparalleled.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Guan wouldn't be able to block Daoist Zhang's Heart Lightning Tribulation. However, not only had Ye Guan resisted it, but he also destroyed it completely, which astonished Daoist Zhang.

With that in mind, Daoist Zhang decided to use his trump card.

After shattering the Heart Lightning inside him, Ye Guan looked around. When he saw those Heart Lightning Tribulations, his expression turned solemn. He could clearly sense the terrifying power contained in each one.

Had it been the old Ye Guan, even with the Qingxuan Sword, he would not have been able to withstand these Heart Lightning Tribulations.

Just as Ye Guan was deep in thought, Daoist Zhang suddenly made a decision and spoke, "Arise."

Boom!

In an instant, the ten thousand Heart Lightning Tribulations began to tremble violently, then rapidly condensed into a single flaming pillar that was a thousand meters tall.

Daoist Zhang pointed at Ye Guan and shouted, "Annihilate!"

The towering, flaming pillar, containing unimaginable pressure, shot straight at Ye Guan.

The Xuantian World seemed to be melting beneath its fiery power.

Not far away, Ye Guan tightened his grip on the Qingxuan Sword. Slowly, he closed his eyes, and at this moment, everything in the world became utterly still. He could sense even the faintest movement, even the fluttering of a strand of hair.

Focus!

Concentrate!

Strike!

When Ye Guan drew his sword, a deafening sword cry rang out, and the Qingxuan Sword struck the flaming pillar with overwhelming force.

Boom!

The earth-shattering explosion reverberated through the air as the flaming pillar shattered, and the entire Xuantian World began to collapse bit by bit.

The shockwave from the clash sent Ye Guan flying several tens of thousands of meters away.

Once he came to a stop, he realized that he was on fire.

At the same time, another Heart Lightning Tribulation ignited within him.

This time, Ye Guan didn't use the Qingxuan Sword. Instead, with a flicker of thought, his sword intent surged out, instantly suppressing and eradicating the Heart Lightning Tribulation within him.

The flames around him were extinguished in an instant as well.

Ye Guan slowly raised his head and looked at Daoist Zhang, who was now holding a ball of lightning flame in his palm.

Daoist Zhang smiled. "Such powerful sword intent."

Without saying a word, Ye Guan vanished from his spot, and at the same time, the ball of lightning flame in Daoist Zhang's palm turned into a flaming pillar that flew toward Ye Guan.

Boom!

A terrifying aura pervaded the surroundings as the powerful energy suppressed Ye Guan's sword force.
