Chapter 462: Come At Me Together!

A group of powerful cultivators streaked across the starry skies above Blue Planet, and the Eternal Sovereign stood at the helm of the group. There were three people behind him.

One of them was a woman wearing a Daoist robe with a horsetail whisk in hand, and her gaze was icy cold. Of course, she emitted an extremely powerful aura.

A hunchbacked old man was on her left, and the hunchbacked old man's gaze was filled with sinister killing intent. Meanwhile, a middle-aged man was on the hunchbacked old man's left, and he exuded a terrifying killing intent as well.

Behind these three were tens of thousands of powerful cultivators—sixteen Great Destiny Sovereigns, hundreds of Great Time Sovereigns, and thousands of Ordinary Great Sovereigns. The rest were Divine Sovereigns.

It was a terrifying group, to say the least. The Eternal Sovereign had recruited so many people for his grand ambition—restoring the Eternal Civilization and establishing hegemony over the vast expanse!

The Eternal Sovereign suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his eyes narrowed as he stared at Blue Planet. "The plain-skirt lady and the other riffraffs are on this tiny blue planet?"

The hunchbacked old man nodded and said respectfully, "Yes."

The Eternal Sovereign asked, "Ye Guan and the True God are there, too?"

"Yes," the hunchbacked old man replied, "The Sword Master is there as well."

The Eternal Sovereign laughed boisterously. "Great! I can kill them all at once, then!"

The Eternal Sovereign took a step forward and was about to annihilate the Blue Planet when a massive spacetime rift abruptly manifested before him. Moments later, a young man walked out of the spacetime rift.

The young man was none other than Ye Guan, and a young woman with an elegant demeanor and extraordinary beauty followed closely behind him. The young woman was none other than Cizhen!

A few moments later, two young women emerged from the rift—Cirou and Cishu!

Unbeknownst to them, there were two people standing in the starry sky a thousand meters away to their right, and those two people were the Sword Master and the plain-skirt lady.

The Eternal Sovereign swept his gaze across everyone, including the True God.

"Come at me together!" the Eternal Sovereign exclaimed and stepped forward.

Boom!

A terrifying aura instantly enveloped the Milky Way.

The Eternal Sovereign had recovered his terrifying strength completely. In other words, they were about to face the Eternal Sovereign in his prime!

The plain-skirt lady stared quietly at the Eternal Sovereign.

However, the Sword Master grabbed her hand and smiled. "Let that brat handle it."

The plain-skirt lady was quiet. The last time she met someone as arrogant as the Eternal Sovereign was tens of millions of years ago—an individual named Tian Ye!

Cizhen glanced at the Eternal Sovereign before turning to look at Ye Guan and leaning over to his ears.

"He's really weak," Cizhen muttered.

Ye Guan's expression froze.

The Eternal Sovereign was about to make a move when Ye Guan interjected, "I'm your opponent!"

The Eternal Sovereign frowned and asked, "You?"

Ye Guan nodded.

The Eternal Sovereign stared calmly at Ye Guan and sneered, "Do you really think you're worthy of even standing against me?"

Instead of getting mad, Ye Guan laughed. "Scared?"

"I'll kill you in one move!" the Eternal Sovereign roared.

Ye Guan smiled. "C'mere, then."

Then, Ye Gua stepped forward.

A sword burst out of him and rushed to the sky.

Xuanyuan!

Ye Guan opened his palm, and the sword flew to his hand. The moment his hand made contact with the sword, the Phoenix Emperor Bloodline in his body trembled ever so slightly.

Ye Guan didn't bother exchanging words as he abruptly disappeared, transforming into a ray of sword light that made a beeline for the Eternal Sovereign.

Time to die!

Ye Guan roared inwardly, unleashing a sword move containing three Heavenrends with eight hundred stacks each, condensed into three Space Overlaps and compressed into one sword move!

The Sword Master waved his sleeve, reinforcing the surrounding spacetime.

The look of disdain on the Eternal Sovereign's face vanished upon witnessing Ye Guan's attack. The Eternal Sovereign's eyes narrowed into slits, and his heart was gripped by disbelief.

How did he become so strong so quickly?

The Eternal Sovereign took one step and swung his fist.

Bam!

Ye Guan's radiant sword light was shattered, and he was blasted a few kilometers away from the resulting collision.

The Eternal Sovereign was also knocked away by at least five hundred meters.

The sight astounded the group of powerful cultivators behind the Eternal Sovereign.

He's strong enough to send the Eternal Sovereign flying?

The Eternal Sovereign was stunned as well. He truly didn't expect that such a young swordsman was capable of sending him flying. To make matters worse, a sharp pain radiated from his fist. The Eternal Sovereign looked down at his fist and was shocked to find that he had been injured.

The Eternal Sovereign glared at Ye Guan and said, "Three Heavenrends with eight hundred stacks each, condensed into three spacetime instances, and then finally compressed into one sword move."

Ye Guan didn't reply. Instead, he took one step forward, and a terrifying sword intent surged out of him. The powerful cultivators behind the Eternal Sovereign glared with ugly looks at Ye Guan.

The Eternal Sovereign's gaze became a bit more serious as he stared at Ye Guan. He truly didn't expect that Ye Guan would become so strong, as it hadn't been that long since he visited the Milky Way.

The fuck? What was he doing here?

Ye Guan looked down at Xuanyuan in his hands. He had just discovered that Xuanyuan was capable of establishing a connection to his bloodline. Ye Guan reckoned that Xuanyuan would become even more powerful if Ye Guan's Phoenix Emperor Bloodline were active.

Ye Guan stomped with his right foot, transforming into a ray of radiant, golden sword light.

Schwing!

A sword slashed out toward the Eternal Sovereign. The Eternal Sovereign's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he stepped forward before swinging his fist.

Boom!

A ray of golden light burst out of the Eternal Sovereign's fist. It transformed into a formidable fist imprint that made a beeline for Ye Guan's sword.

BOOM!

A deafening explosion boomed throughout the starry sky.

The Eternal Sovereign's fist imprint stopped Ye Guan's sword dead in its tracks. Ye Guan tried his hardest, but his sword wouldn't budge even an inch.

The Eternal Sovereign's eyes turned sinister as he swung his right fist.

Boom!

A kaleidoscope of golden lights erupted, and Ye Guan was blasted tens of kilometers away from just a single punch. Eventually, he stabilized himself in mid-air, but blood was trickling down the corner of his lips. Clearly, he had sustained internal injuries.

The Eternal Sovereign chuckled and jeered, "Is that all you got?"

Ye Guan wiped his lips clean and smiled wryly. Then, he turned to look at Cizhen nearby and said, "Sister Zhen, I finally understand what you told me last time."

Cizhen blinked in confusion and asked, "What did I say?"

Ye Guan smiled, "Hurdles are an inevitable part of growth, which is always painful, and you said, 'Once you get through it, you'll realize that the hurdle you've been trying to overcome wasn't really that much of a hurdle.'"

Cizhen broke out into a smile.

Ye Guan burst out laughing as well before disappearing and flying toward the Eternal Sovereign as a ray of radiant, golden light.

Long ago, he was too weak to withstand even a single attack from the Eternal Sovereign, but now, he could go toe-to-toe against the Eternal Sovereign. Of course, Ye Guan wasn't just being arrogant; it was the reality!

Ye Guan had finally understood what Cizhen was telling him at the time. Against hurdles, one had to persevere and not fall into despair. After overcoming such hurdles, one would eventually find that upon looking back, the hurdles they thought were impossible to overcome didn't seem that daunting anymore.

In other words, Cizhen had told him that every hurdle in the world could be overcome!

Ye Guan's mind cleared, and his sword intent surged crazily.

The Eternal Sovereign's narrowed eyes radiated intense killing intent. He made up his mind just then—he would kill Ye Guan in three moves. It would be his defeat if he couldn't kill Ye Guan in three moves!

He was the Eternal Sovereign, after all, the most powerful Great Sovereign throughout history. The Eternal Sovereign still had a pride to maintain!

The Eternal Sovereign lifted both of his hands, and the spacetime around him trembled violently. A kaleidoscope of golden lights manifested, and terrifying auras surged like torrents from all directions and rushed toward Ye Guan, suppressing Ye Guan's sword intent.

The Eternal Sovereign stepped forward, and a mysterious space unfolded.

The Eternal Sword Domain!

"Die!" the Eternal Sovereign roared.

The seemingly endless kaleidoscope of golden lights transformed into a myriad of swords that descended upon Ye Guan. Meanwhile, Ye Guan couldn't move at all. Terrifying forces had bound him, and Ye Guan felt as if there were mountains pressing down on his shoulders.

Ye Guan caught a whiff of the scent of death. He could feel it—he was about to die!

However, Ye Guan smiled in the face of death. His eyes closed slowly as Xuanyuan trembled violently in his hands.

Moments later, his eyes shot wide open.

Boom! Boom!

Two terrifying auras burst out of Ye Guan, and those terrifying auras were born from the bloodline power of Ye Guan's two bloodlines—the Mad Demon Bloodline and the Phoenix Emperor Bloodline!

The Eternal Sword Domain collapsed instantly as soon as the bloodline powers manifested. At the same time, Ye Guan charged out with his sword and slashed out.

Bam!

The oncoming myriad swords were reduced to ashes, and the Eternal Sovereign was blasted tens of kilometers away. Ye Guan's attack just now was strong enough to create cracks, even in the spacetime that the Sword Master had reinforced.

The Sword Master's lips curled up into a smile.

Meanwhile, the Eternal Sovereign looked down at his right arm and saw that it had cracked open, spilling blood everywhere.

The powerful cultivators behind the Eternal Sovereign stared at the sight with incredibly ugly expressions. They truly didn't expect that a young man could injure the Eternal Sovereign to such an extent.

Their plan was to establish hegemony over the vast expanse, but now... it seemed that their plan had become nothing but a pipe dream! The majority of the powerful cultivators cast doubtful gazes upon the Eternal Sovereign.

Perhaps he was hiding his true power? Praying with his prey or something like that?

The Eternal Sovereign looked bitter as he glared at Ye Guan, and he was truly dumbfounded. The young swordsman before him had shattered his Eternal Sword Domain in the blink of an eye. How was that even possible?

The Eternal Sovereign couldn't keep his gaze off Ye Guan as he ruminated in shock.

Meanwhile, Cirou looked at Ye Guan with utter amazement, not expecting that he had grown to such a terrifying level in such a short amount of time. However, Cirou's gaze soon became complicated. She had just realized that the young man didn't lack resources, talent, or support; what Ye Guan lacked was time.

Given enough time, Ye Guan would eventually become as powerful as his relatives.

Ye Guan closed his eyes once more. The two terrifying bloodline powers inside of him were still boiling, and they were making the nearby spacetime boil as well.

"You've truly surprised me," but..." the Eternal Sovereign trailed off before continuing, "Do you really think that this is enough—"

"Let's get it over with!" Ye Guan exclaimed, interrupting the Eternal Sovereign. Then, he cackled maniacally and added, "There's no need for us to talk nonsense to each other."

Boom!

Ye Guan didn't even wait for the Eternal Sovereign's reply as he transformed into a crimson streak of light that streaked across the starry sky.
