Chapter 274: Kill the True God in an Instant

The Yin Spirit’s face was beyond dark. She was so angry that the spacetime around her trembled incessantly, creating a terrifying sight.

Just then, the other Divine Spirits rushed to the scene. When they saw that Ye Guan had entered the True God World, their expressions turned extremely unpleasant; killing intent suffused their eyes.

Ye Guan had infiltrated the True God World!

An outsider had actually trespassed on the True God World. This wasn’t just the True Universe’s disgrace, but the True God’s disgrace as well.

The Great Sovereign old man earlier stared at the Yin Spirit and asked, “What should we do, Yin Spirit?”

The Yin Spirit was silent. There were two reasons the True Universe couldn’t make a move in the True God World. First of all, it was the burial ground of many individuals related to the True God, so it was considered hallowed grounds.

Secondly, the True God had once ordered that fighting was forbidden in the True God World. No one would dare to disobey the True God’s order. The Yin Spirit was in a tough spot. Should she go there and chase after Ye Guan?

The Great Sovereign old man noticed the Yin Spirit’s hesitation and said, “We have to chase him. Otherwise, if he ever does anything inside…”

The Yin Spirit frowned and pondered briefly before shouting, “Let’s go!”

With that, she vanished into thin air. The Divine Spirits chased after her.

…

Ye Guan found himself before a massive graveyard. There were too many tombstones to count that they seemed endless.

Ye Guan’s brows furrowed, and he asked, "Senior, where am I?"

The mysterious voice replied, "You’re in the Divine Cemetery. The True God’s burial grounds."

"The True God’s burial grounds? Is the True God dead?" asked Ye Guan.

The mysterious voice replied, "She’s still alive. Those buried here were her followers back then. They perished in battle, so she created a world to serve as their burial grounds."

Ye Guan’s curiosity was piqued.

"Who were the True God’s enemies back then?"

The mysterious voice replied, “She had many enemies—Sovereign Qing, the Heaven Seizing Clan, those of the Divine Dao Bloodline, and even the vast expanse itself as it sent a Universe Tribulation upon her. These figures are the most powerful out of the True Universe’s enemies at the time.”

“Senior…” Ye Guan sounded serious as he asked, “Can you tell me more about the Heaven Seizing Clan, the Divine Dao bloodline, and what a Universe Tribulation is?”

The mysterious voice replied belatedly, “It’s only natural for you to know them, so I’m going to answer you. Let’s start with the Heaven Seizing Clan first. The Heaven Seizing Clan is filled with extremely formidable cultivators with the Heaven Seizing Bloodline running through their veins.

“The Heaven Seizing Bloodline can suppress almost every other bloodline in existence, but of course, your family’s Mad Demon Bloodline is an exception. The Heaven Seizing Bloodline was invincible before the conception of the Mad Demon Bloodline.

“They become more terrifying as they fight, and they’re capable of seizing the bloodline of others for themselves. One of the biggest reasons those with the Heaven Seizing Bloodline are all formidable opponents is their unpredictability.

“It is impossible to know what cards they have up their sleeves because of their ability to seize other bloodlines and use the special abilities of those bloodlines.”

“Which of the two bloodlines is stronger at the moment?” asked Ye Guan.

“If we’re talking about your father and grandfather, it’ll naturally be the Mad Demon Bloodline,” said the mysterious voice. She paused before she continued teasingly. “If it’s you, then you already know the answer.”

Ye Guan’s expression darkened. Damn it, I really am the weakest member of my family!

“Anyway, let me tell you about the Universe Tribulation,” said the mysterious voice. "Every universe will someday experience a Universe Tribulation. Going through it means the end of a cycle. However, the True Universe’s Universe Tribulation at the time was extremely terrifying because the True God had been suppressing it.

“The act of suppressing a Universe Tribulation is just buying time. It’ll eventually return with vengeance, and it’s akin to holding back a flood. The water level rises the longer you suppress it until you can no longer suppress it.

“However, the True God had been suppressing it for over a million years.”

Ye Guan frowned. He found something weird about the mysterious senior’s story, so he decided to point it out. "I thought tribulations could be destroyed. Isn’t that so?"

“It’s unlike any other tribulation, so it can’t be destroyed,” the mysterious voice said, “It represents a Law of the Dao. Actually, it’s already an incredible feat to be able to suppress it, but destroying it is simply impossible.

“It’s a tribulation born from the myriad of sentient beings living in that universe, so destroying it means destroying those sentient beings as well.”

Ye Guan nodded, but he was still curious. “Senior, what’s a Law of the Dao?”

The mysterious voice explained, “Yin and Yang are the constituents of the Dao. The Dao allows cultivators to harness spiritual energy and transform it into profound energy, and profound energy is what cultivators use to pursue the Dao.

“In a nutshell, everything boils down to Yin and Yang. It seems complex because it involves a myriad of processes involving the sentient beings throughout the vast expanse, but it is not that complicated in essence.”

“If I were to make it even easier for you to understand, there must be death for there to be life. Life and death are natural Laws of the Dao. A universe is born, and it will inevitably perish—this is also another natural Law of the Dao.

“Why do people say that cultivators are going against the natural Laws of the Dao? It’s all because cultivators are fighting against the Dao to change their destiny. Sadly, it is extremely difficult to do such a thing, and those who have escaped the clutches of their destiny to control the Dao are extremely rare, even throughout the vast expanse.

Ye Guan went silent as he pondered over the mysterious senior’s words. He found it a bit too complex for him to understand at the moment.

However, it seemed the mysterious voice wasn’t done just yet as she continued. “The True God’s action of suppressing the True Universe’s Universe Tribulation is an act that had changed her destiny as well as the destiny of the True Universe. According to the Law of the Dao, the True Universe should have perished many, many years ago.”

Ye Guan couldn’t quite grasp the terrors of a Universe Tribulation, but he believed that it was all because its horrors were beyond his comprehension. Ye Guan believed so, as the mysterious voice was speaking in a different way than usual.

As for the True God’s might… the fact that she could suppress the tribulation of an entire Universe by herself was the greatest testament to her power.

“Actually, there’s someone scarier than an entire universe’s tribulation,” said the mysterious voice from out of the blue. “It’s the Great Daoist Brush Master. The Divine Dao Bloodline runs through his veins, and he’s a terrifying figure to face!”

“The Great Daoist Brush Master?” asked Ye Guan with a frown.

“He’s a true Dao User,” the mysterious voice said, “In addition to escaping the clutches of his destiny by obtaining the Dao, he can also control it. I can only describe him as awesome if I were to describe him.”

“What does it mean to control the Dao?” Ye Guan asked.

The mysterious voice explained, “The Dao can be observed, and it is through witnessing the transformation of many things as they chase after the Dao. The Dao is impartial, and all beings are equal before it. However, the Great Daoist Brush Master is an exception to that.

“He can control and wield the Dao, which means he can make everything move according to his whims. It happens because the Dao can be a powerful tool in the hands of those with desire.

“The Dao itself is without desire, but if one with desire were to control it, it would be an exceedingly powerful tool capable of dominating and suppressing every existence. The Great Daoist Brush Master has a penchant for doing that, so you could say that he’s an extremely immoral individual.”

“I understand! Ye Guan nodded.

“The True God is a god in the eyes of the True Universe’s denizens, but…” the mysterious voice trailed off before saying, “She’s evil in the eyes of the other worlds and the universes. In other words, each and every single individual has their own things they consider important, and it is based on their vested interests.”

“You have a vested interest in becoming stronger. You can become strong enough to become a god in the eyes of many people, and you have to become even stronger, or else those stronger than you will become your god, like the True God, for example.”

“I have a vested interest in the survival of the Guanxuan Universe,” said Ye Guan with a nod. “Those daring enough to attack the Guanxuan Universe are my enemies!”

“Great!” exclaimed the mysterious voice.

Just then, Ye Guan turned around.

Rumble!

He heard rumbling noises ahead of him, and a rift in spacetime soon manifested.

The Yin Spirit emerged from the rift along with three Great Sovereigns!

Ye Guan inwardly asked, “Senior, are you sure that they won’t dare to attack me here?”

The mysterious voice replied, “They probably won’t...”

Ye Guan went numb. The mysterious senior was also unreliable.

The Yin Spirit stared quietly at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan inwardly asked, “Senior, what should I do?”

The mysterious voice exclaimed, “Do what you want!”

Ye Guan’s expression stiffened.

“Who is the mysterious person inside of you?” asked the Yin Spirit while glaring at Ye Guan. She had noticed long ago that there was an extremely powerful existence hiding within Ye Guan. Ye Guan couldn’t have escaped earlier if it hadn’t been for that existence’s intervention.

Ye Guan stared deeply at the Yin Spirit and said, “Yin Spirit, we had an agreement that the younger generation of our universes is to fight without the intervention of the older generation for an entire year. Why are you attacking me?”

The Yin Spirit’s cold gaze fell upon Ye Guan “Can you even be considered a member of the younger generation with that sword in hand?”

It was only natural for a cultivator to wield artifacts in battle. However, Ye Guan’s sword was just too overpowered. His overpowered sword allowed him to become invincible to anyone beneath the Great Sovereign Realm.

In fact, even a Great Sovereign had to be wary of Ye Guan’s sword.

It was just too overpowered.

Ye Guan asked, "Does the True Universe lack overpowered artifacts?"

“Don’t even try to make excuses, Ye Guan!” the Yin Spirit roared. She clenched her right hand slowly, and an oppressive energy fell upon Ye Guan.

Ye Guan remained calm and smiled. "Yin Spirit, we’re in the True God World. Those buried here are the ancestors of the True Universe. Fighting here means destroying the peace of this world; can you bear the consequences of that?"

The Yin Spirit fell silent. She was worried. No one could disobey the True God and withstand the consequences of it, considering the True God’s temper.

Ye Guan sighed in relief at the Yin Spirit’s hesitation. It seemed that she wouldn’t dare to do anything untoward to him here. Of course, it would be best for him not to provoke her. After all, everyone had their own bottom line, and the Yin Spirit would surely attack if he were to cross that. By then, he would be dead meat.

Ye Guan started looking around, eliciting a frown from the Yin Spirit.

One of the three Great Sovereigns behind the Yin Spirit couldn’t help but speak up, “We can’t let him roam and do as he pleases here.”

The Yin Spirit’s gaze landed on Ye Guan. She sounded solemn as she pointed out. “An extremely powerful existence is in him. They’re at least on the same level as me—a Cosmic Spirit.”

The three Great Sovereigns frowned at that.

“Where is the Adjudication Sword Master?” the Yin Spirit asked.

“She’s on her way,” replied a Great Sovereign.

“She’s the only one who can make a move in here,” said the Yin Spirit.

The three Great Sovereigns were silent. The Adjudication Sword Master had a special relationship with the True God, and she had always been by the True God’s side. If she were to take action here, the True God would definitely not punish her for disobedience.

The Yin Spirit stared deeply at Ye Guan and muttered, “I want you to uncover the identity of the blue-robed man as well as the identity of the existence hidden within Ye Guan.”

Despite her words, the Yin Spirit had seen that blue-robed war during the war between the True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe thirty million years ago.

At the time, she didn’t think that the blue-robed man was anything much, as the latter had only stood at the sidelines. The Yin Spirit looked worried. She had just realized that the people standing behind Ye Guan were getting more and more powerful.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan started walking away.

“Senior, can you kill the True God?” he asked.

“I can kill the True God in an instant!” the mysterious voice exclaimed.

“What?!” Ye Guan exclaimed with his eyes shot wide open.

The mysterious voice added, “There’s a special place that even if your grandfather, your father, your aunt, and the True God were to join forces, they still aren’t my match.”

“A special place?” Ye Guan hurriedly asked, “Where is it?”

“In my dreams!” shouted the mysterious voice.

“...” Ye Guan was so dumbfounded he forgot to speak.
