Chapter 1276: To Hell With Everything!

Emperor Tian Zong was kneeling!

Everyone stood frozen, like lifeless statues, staring at the kneeling Emperor Tian Zong in the distance. At this moment, their minds felt completely overwhelmed.

First, the Dao Imprint was shattered, and now, their emperor was forced to kneel.

Who is this young man? Why is his strength so terrifying?

The experts of the Heavenly Tomb Empire were gripped by fear. The sheer combat prowess of this young man was utterly overwhelming. A person of such strength had to be backed by an unimaginably formidable power.

The more the officials of the Heavenly Tomb Empire thought about it, the more terrified they became.

In the distance, Wu Zhuguo looked at Ye Guan, his eyes filled with a deep seriousness and a hint of fear. He had never imagined that Ye Guan would dare to attack the Dao Imprint, let alone shatter it with a single sword strike.

That was the imprint of this universe region's Supreme Great Dao!

To attack the Supreme Great Dao was tantamount to defying the Great Dao.

Is he crazy?

When Wu Zhuguo's strength reached a certain level, he realized how laughable his thoughts were. Upon reaching the Supreme Ancestor Realm, he understood the terror of the Supreme Great Dao.

Defy the Dao, and one would be crushed in an instant!

From that moment on, all thoughts of defying the Dao vanished from his mind.

To gain greater power, he had no choice but to align himself with the Great Dao. However, it had to be said that aligning with the Great Dao had its perks. It was like having someone open the back doors for you on the path of cultivation.

Wu Zhuguo glanced at Ye Guan in the distance. He knew that no matter where he was from, his fate was sealed. Even if forces from a Tier Ten Civilization were to intervene, they wouldn't be able to save him.

The calmest person in the place was Divine Attendant Pei. She wasn't the least bit surprised that Ye Guan had shattered the Dao Imprint with a single strike.

She had seen him at his most terrifying state, and he wasn't shocked that he dared to defy the Great Dao of this universe region.

Ye Guan dared to oppose even the Ancestral Dao, so why would he hesitate to challenge the Great Dao of a mere Tier Nine Civilization?

The most stunned person at the moment, however, was Tian Chen.

Staring at his father kneeling before him, he went through a rollercoaster of emotions. At first, it was shock and a mix of other emotions, and then, surprisingly, a faint sense of satisfaction.

Once upon a time, the middle-aged man before him seemed like a god in his eyes, someone he deeply respected and feared. But the moment he made a move to seize Tian Chen's ancestral dragon energy, Tian Chen realized how laughable the idea of familial kinship truly was.

Clearly, his father had been coveting his dragon energy for a long time, merely waiting for the right excuse to do so. In that instant, all the pent-up frustration and resentment in Tian Chen's heart dissipated completely.

Meanwhile, the kneeling Emperor Tian Zong clenched his fists rightly. His face was twisted in rage, and his eyes were bloodshot. He was trembling in fury.

To be brought to his knees before his son was the ultimate humiliation—the biggest disgrace.

Just then, Consort Qin stepped forward and slashed Emperor Tian Zong's neck.

Swoosh!

Emperor Tian Zong's head went flying. His eyes remained wide open, filled with disbelief. It was not just him; everyone present was utterly stunned, unable to believe their eyes.

Tian Chen turned his astonished gaze to his mother, who stood there with a cold, expressionless face.

Consort Qin understood very well that things had reached a point of no return.

Emperor Tian Zong had to die. However, Tian Chen was not allowed to kill him, or he would carry the sin of patricide with him for the rest of his life.

Thus, Consort Qin decided to do it herself.

After killing Emperor Tian Zong, Consort Qin immediately retrieved his storage ring and the ancestral dragon energy within him. She walked back to her son and handed the ancestral dragon energy back to him.

Tian Chen accepted the dragon energy, and it swiftly merged into him.

Turning to look at Ye Guan, Consort Qin was stunned. Ye Guan's expression was terrifying, as though he was enduring some immense pain. His face was twisted and distorted, and he was trembling uncontrollably.

The veins bulging across him looked as if they would explode at any moment.

The Evil Dao!

Ye Guan was indeed in excruciating pain, desperately resisting the Evil Dao. He was also clashing head-on with Fan Zhaodi's power, and he was at a clear disadvantage. He was holding on by sheer force of will.

Tian Chen noticed something was wrong with Ye Guan. He quickly rose and approached him, saying, "Brother Ye..."

Ye Guan didn't respond. His right hand was gripping the Qingxuan Sword tightly, and he was shaking violently.

Tian Chen wanted to say more

However, Consort Qin interrupted, "We need to take him away."

Without waiting for a response, she moved over to Ye Guan.

Rumble!

Just then, a mysterious power cascaded downward like a torrential flood from the starry skise.

Everyone instinctively looked up.

The clouds in the sky were being crushed bit by bit, and soon, an invisible pressure swept downward.

It felt as if the heavens themselves were collapsing.

The world blurred and distorted.

The Supreme Great Dao of a Tier Nine Civilization!

Everyone was stunned.

Even Wu Zhuguo's expression grew more solemn than ever. Although he was capable of connecting with this Supreme Great Dao, he had never encountered it directly. The overwhelming aura of the Great Dao made Wu Zhuguo understand just how terrifying it truly was.

Just a single wave of its aura was enough to make his soul tremble. Of course, this reaction was partly due to the fact that his strength was derived from following the Great Dao.

Divine Attendant Pei looked at the sky. The Supreme Great Dao itself had not descended—it was merely a fragment of its will. And even though it was just a fragment, its aura was already unimaginably oppressive.

Divine Attendant Pei suddenly felt a strange unease. Despite the immense strength of the Supreme Great Dao's will, deep in her heart, it wasn't as overwhelmingly powerful as it was supposed to be.

She quickly realized why she was thinking that way. After witnessing the fight between the Ancestral Dao, Fan Zhaodi, and Clan Leader Jing, her worldview had changed. She had instinctively compared the Supreme Great Dao before her to those experts rather than to herself.

In comparison to those unparalleled experts, the Supreme Great Dao before her was indeed... underwhelming.

However, if she compared the Supreme Great Dao to herself....

She was like those mortals in the secular world who believed that millionaires were nothing impressive after encountering a billionaire once.

Realizing that shift in her worldview, Divine Attendant Pei immediately calmed down. She reoriented her thoughts to ensure that she wouldn't become too cocky.

Tian Chen and Consort Qin turned pale when they saw the manifestation of the Supreme Great Dao's will. They were well aware of what the Supreme Great Dao represented. This was, after all, the "god" of a Tier Nine Civilization.

The descent of its will meant...

Tian Chen turned to look at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was still unstable, and his willpower was on the brink of collapse.

The pressure radiating from the Supreme Great Dao's will intensified with each passing moment.

Swoosh!

A divine ray of Great Dao light descended from the heavens, heading straight for Ye Guan.

Crack!

The fabric of spacetime shattered and disintegrated beneath its power.

Ye Guan looked up and stomped fiercely with his right foot, transforming into a streak of sword light that shot skyward.

Buzz!

The buzzing of a sword echoed, shattering the surrounding spacetime. Ye Guan's sword collided fiercely with the Great Dao light.

Boom!

A cataclysmic explosion occurred as soon as the two made contact. The shockwaves from their collision surged outward like tidal waves, forcing the Heavenly Tomb Empire experts to retreat in fear.

When the dust settled, everyone looked up at the sky.

There, Ye Guan was standing tall with a broken sword in his hand.

A faint red glow was emanating from him, and it made him give off a quiet yet commanding presence. His expression remained twisted and terrifying; he was still trembling uncontrollably as well.

The Will of the Supreme Great Dao surged with turbulent energy; it was clearly furious—furious that someone had dared to attack it!

It had always been revered as a godlike presence since time immemorial. Even powerful experts showed utmost respect to it, treating it as if it were a true god. Today, however, someone actually dared to defy it and attack it.

Boom!

The Will of the Supreme Great Dao unleashed a terrifying aura that swept toward Ye Guan like a tsunami.

The overwhelming pressure blanketed the heavens and the earth, causing everyone in the vicinity to tremble uncontrollably.

Ye Guan roared. Gripping the Qingxuan Sword, he charged forward with explosive force. In the blink of an eye, a sword light spanning thousands of meters tore through the heavens, obliterating everything in its path.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Continuous deafening explosions echoed as the two attacks collided in midair.

All eyes turned toward the heavens and saw a boundless ocean of sword energy. Amidst the vast sea of sword energy, explosions echoed endlessly. It was a fierce battle!

The experts of the Heavenly Tomb Empire exchanged uneasy gazes; their faces were filled with astonishment and disbelief.

He's actually fighting the Supreme Great Dao head-on!

Wu Zhuguo glanced at the sea of sword energy and Ye Guan. He was both scared and confused. He couldn't imagine someone facing the Supreme Great Dao without any fear.

Boom!

The sea of sword energy shattered, and a streak of sword light struck the Will of the Supreme Great Dao with devastating force.

Boom!

The Will of the Supreme Great Dao trembled violently before exploding into countless fragments.

Divine Attendant Pei muttered, "That guy just stirred up a hornet's nest."

While that wasn't the Supreme Great Dao's true form, it still represented the Supreme Great Dao. By shattering it, Ye Guan was essentially declaring war on the Supreme Great Dao of this Tier Nine Civilization.

Just then, an ancient voice echoed from the depths of the starry sky. "Dao Defier! How dare you!"

Ye Guan stared into the distant reaches of the universe. He was still fiercely resisting the Evil Dao Seal, but he gripped the broken Qingxuan Sword and pointed it at the void.

"Screw you! Come on, show yourself. I'll kill you myself!" he roared.

To hell with everything!

To hell with the Great Dao!

To hell with order!

To hell with it all!

I will fight and kill to my heart's content!
