Chapter 200: Stay Here and Watch Our Performance

Netherworld Destiny!

A dim light shot out, and everything within its reach was obliterated inch by inch.

The dim light abruptly vanished, but it reappeared in the hands of the woman in white.

She thrust the dim light forward.

The cataclysmic might of the dim light created cracks in the world itself.

A middle-aged man appeared in front of the woman in white, and he was wielding a giant blade. The giant blade collided with Netherworld Destiny, and a stalemate ensued.

The woman in white was furious. She transformed into a beam of dim light and sent the middle-aged man flying.

However, the middle-aged man wasn’t a pushover. A pitch-black shadow manifested in front of the woman in white, and the shadow burst out, causing cracks to appear all over the world.

The woman in white had no choice but to retreat at least a few kilometers away, but she wasn’t idle while she was retreating. Mid-retreat, she hurled a javelin of dim light toward the middle-aged man.

The dim light was so fast that it reached the middle-aged man in just a few milliseconds.

The middle-aged man had to retreat and avoid the javelin of dim light.

Moments later, the woman in white and the middle-aged man attacked each other fiercely, causing tremors to spread all over the Guanxuan Universe.

Their attacks contained so much energy that the Guanxuan Universe was starting to collapse under their might.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dao of the Guanxuan Universe gave up on repairing the world. There were too many powerhouses wreaking havoc on the world for it to keep up with the repairs. In the end, it gave up and tried to escape.

It was only here for a job, and now that it could no longer do its job. It had decided that the best next course of action was to run before anything else. It also wasn’t really qualified to intervene in the battle between such powerful elites.

The elites of the Guanxuan Academy and the Divine Generals shifted their battlefields a few hundred kilometers away.

They had done it voluntarily, as the elites around Ye Guan were too strong. The remnant forces of their moves alone were enough for them to perish. In the end, both sides unanimously decided to stay reasonably far from the main battlefield.

Ye Guan’s expression was solemn. The woman in white was most likely from his grandfather’s generation. Ye Guan had to admit that the elites of his grandfather’s generation were fierce and extremely powerful beings.

The woman in white and the middle-aged man were too strong.

The force that their moves generated was strong enough to destroy the entire world.

It was a great thing that the two had decided to fight in a pocket of spacetime. If they hadn’t done that, it would have only been a matter of time before the Guanxuan Universe was destroyed.

.

Lu Tian

frowned. He realized that the woman in white who had decided to step out and protect Ye Guan from the Divine Sovereign wasn’t the mysterious being who had been keeping an eye on him from the dark.

The woman in white wielding Netherworld Destiny was extremely strong—it wasn’t strange, as only those who were extremely powerful could stand their ground against a Divine Sovereign.

However, if even a Divine Sovereign wasn’t enough to lure the mysterious being out from the dark; just who were they? Were they stronger than a Divine Sovereign?

Lu Tian’s

frown deepened

.

He raised his guard up to its limit. Who were these people, and where had they come from?

The war between the True World and the Guanxuan Universe had been ongoing for many years now, so the denizens of the True World had long known the identities of the Guanxuan Universe’s cream of the crop elites.

However, Lu Tian had never seen these elites before. In other words, these people weren’t participants in that great war many years ago. To make matters worse, they were extremely powerful.

Which generation are they from?

Lu Tian was confused.

Li Banzhi stared at the woman wielding Netherworld Destiny and exclaimed, “Lady Tianxiu!”

Li Banzhi wasn’t exactly familiar with Lady Tianxiu. However, Li Banzhi was aware that Lady Tianxiu was from the same generation as Sword Master Qingshan. Li Banzhi was surprised to find so many elites from Sword Master Qingshan’s generation in one place.

In addition, each and every one of them was incredibly strong.

Lady Tianxiu was particularly strong, and this was evidenced by how she could stand toe-to-toe against a Divine Sovereign and even suppress the latter.

A Divine Sovereign was a peak cultivator even throughout the True Universe, but such a powerful existence was actually being suppressed.

Li Banzhi suddenly recalled something. She turned to An You and asked, “How’s it going?”

An You said somberly, “I’ve contacted the Eternal World’s Immortal Treasures Martial Court. They’ve dispatched their elites to reinforce us, and they’ll arrive in an hour.”

An hour…

Li Banzhi frowned slightly.

An hour would be too late.

An You explained, “It’s unfortunate, but the Eternal World is simply too far.”

“How about the Xuzhen World?” asked Li Banzhi.

An You shook his head and said, “The spacetime tunnels leading to Xuzhen World have been taken over by the True World cultivators. We can’t even communicate with them through transmission talismans.

“Aside from that, more and more Divine Spirits are rushing over here in droves.”

“One hour,” Li Banzhi suddenly said, “We just have to hold out for one more hour.

An You stared deeply at Li Banzhi.

Li Banzhi explained, “Taichu Jing and the others at the Xuzhen World must have already noticed that something is off. I’m sure they’re doing everything they can to reinforce the Academy as we speak.”

Li Banzhi’s expression suddenly changed upon recalling something. “The traitor from the Xuzhen World will arrive first before any reinforcements, and they’ll definitely try to kill us as soon as possible.”

An You asked, “How will we know the traitor’s identity?”

Li Banzhi looked up at the starry skies and muttered, “The traitor is the first one to arrive here from the Xuzhen World.”

An You went silent.

Just who was the traitor?

Lady Tianxiu and the other young girls of the Nether Palace had come to help us, but the Guanxuan Academy was still slowly but surely collapsing beneath the pressure. The Divine Generals and Divine Kings were simply too strong.

The Sword Sect disciples and the Ancient Guanxuan Guards were the only ones capable of standing toe-to-toe against the Divine Spirits, but even they could barely fight the Divine Spirits.

The Guanxuan Academy had more cultivators, but the quality of the Guanxuan Academy cultivators paled in comparison to the Divine Kings, so fighting the latter was a struggle for the former.

To make matters worse, killing these divine spirits was impossible, as they would quickly resurrect themselves upon dying.

Of course, they were weakened post-death, but they were still far too strong for an average Guanxuan Academy student to handle.

Things weren’t looking good for the Guanxuan Academy.

Li Banzhi frowned. She was aware of the peril as well.

There was only one way to truly kill a divine spirit, and it could only be employed with the help of the Sky-Connecting Pagoda in the Xuzhen Battlefield.

However, there weren’t any Sky-Connecting Pagodas here, so the Guanxuan Academy could only hold out.

Lu Tian

frowned and stared at Ye Guan. He knew that if he failed to kill Ye Guan today, it would be extremely difficult for him to do something like this in the future.

This was an extremely rare opportunity. Moreover, Ye Guan was already a monstrous talent. If he were allowed to continue growing, he would definitely become a huge headache to the True World.

Lu Tian

decided to get rid of Ye Guan today, regardless of the price he had to pay!

With that thought in mind,

Lu Tian

extended his hands. A huge pitch-black imprint floated up from his palms. Moments later, the imprint turned into a dark light that stretched for several kilometers.

Boom!

The dark light abruptly became a whirlpool—it was a teleportation array.

Li Banzhi’s pupils constricted, and she bellowed, “Activate the formation!”

RUMBLE!

A talisman buried in the depths of the Guanxuan Academy shone brightly. A resplendent light illuminated the skies, and roughly a hundred thousand rays of light made out of the Great Dao shot out from the Guanxuan Academy.

The rays of light aimed at the dark whirlpool and flew toward it, tearing apart everything in its path.

All of a sudden, a colossal demonic beast rushed out of the dark whirlpool.

The demonic beast was at least three hundred meters tall, and two horns were sticking out of its forehead. It looked as buff as an ox, while its entire body was covered in sturdy black scales. It also had a thick tail.

The demonic beast hollered and stomped.

Crack!

The rays of light made out of the Great Dao shattered, but the Guanxuan Academy’s array remained steadfast and started pushing it back.

The world trembled as it took a few steps backward, terrifying everyone.

All of a sudden, a golden ray of light shot out from underground. It made a beeline for the demonic beast.

The demonic beast was furious. It clenched its fists and punched out.

The golden ray of light shattered along with spacetime itself, but the shrapnel of the explosion burst out in all directions. The fragments contained so much power that the space in its trajectory was shattered and torn apart.

The demonic beast rapidly retreated. Moments later, it lifted its head and roared.

Its sturdy black scales started exuding a dark light, and they started wriggling, seemingly alive.

Meanwhile, another golden ray of light shot out from underground. The demonic beast jumped and punched the oncoming attack.

The golden ray of light shattered once more, but the demonic beast wasn’t done just yet. It struck the ground and split it into two, creating a deep ravine.

Boom!

The ground crumbled, and a kilometer-deep abyss was formed. The demonic beast jumped into the abyss. Soon, the ground trembled, and explosions incessantly echoed from underground.

Li Banzhi’s expression fell. She seemed to have sensed something as she lifted her head and stared at the dark whirlpool. An intense and powerful aura was seeping out of the dark whirlpool, filling Li Banzhi’s heart with trepidation.

It seemed that the True World had finally decided to go all-out upon discovering the presence of the Sword Master’s descendant.

Li Banzhi’s expression was extremely dark as she looked at the dark whirlpool.

Ye Guan suddenly said, “Aunt Zhi, let me do it!”

Li Banzhi stared deeply at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan didn’t bother to explain as he unsheathed his sword.

However, Ao Qianqian suddenly appeared in front of him.

Ao Qianqian’s visage was pallid, but her injuries had more or less healed.

“Let me follow you!” said Ao Qianqian.

Ye Guan was about to reject the offer, but Ao Qianqian pressed her forehead against Ye Guan’s forehead before the former could even speak.

Ao Qianqian turned into a ray of light and entered Ye Guan’s glabella.

Boom!

Ye Guan’s aura rose explosively.

Ye Guan took a deep breath. He was silent as he turned into a beam of sword light.

He streaked across the skies and reached the dark whirlpool in the blink of an eye.

Swoosh!

A Divine King appeared in front of Ye Guan.

Ye Guan’s eyes flashed sinisterly as he swung the Path Sword.

The Divine King didn’t bother retreating. He moved even closer to Ye Guan with a spear in hand.

Crack!

However, the Divine King’s spear shattered upon making contact with Ye Guan’s sword.

The Divine King’s pupils shrank.

He decided to retreat, but lightning flashed beneath Ye Guan’s feet.

Thunderclap! Ye Guan had changed. Ao Qianqian’s cultivation realm enhanced his abilities, allowing him to move even faster than usual.

Shwik!

Ye Guan’s sword struck the Divine King’s forehead. The Divine King’s fleshly body collapsed and perished, but the Divine King was horrified to find that his

true

body had been inflicted with a fatal wound, and he would soon perish.

How could this be?!

The Divine King was in disbelief.

His sword dealt a fatal blow to my true body?! This is impossible! T-t-this can’t be!

The Divine King roared as if he had gone mad.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan was already in front of the dark whirlpool. He was about to destroy it with the Path Sword when Li Banzhi shouted, “Watch out!”

Ye Guan turned and saw

Lu Tian

moving toward him.

It turned out that

Lu Tian

couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Ye Guan was startled, but he didn’t even attempt to retreat.

There was no point in retreating;

Lu Tian

was too strong for him to escape.

Ye Guan was about to throw all caution to the wind when a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let them bully you. Just stay here and watch our performance!”
