Chapter 464: Today, They Are Going to Kill the True God

Ye Guan wasn't dumb. He was more than willing to die in a fair one-on-one battle to the death, but he wasn't dumb enough to allow his enemies to besiege him.

Anyone could call for backup, and Ye Guan could do the same.

The Eternal Sovereign cast a wary gaze upon the plain-skirt lady. He had been observing the plain-skirt lady even whilst fighting Ye Guan. Of course, he had been doing the same to the Sword Master and the True God.

He had been biding his time, hoping that he was mistaken, but he wasn't mistaken at all. He truly couldn't feel their auras, and it felt like those three people didn't even exist in reality.

Once his theory was confirmed, the Eternal Sovereign promptly ordered the others to attack with him. The Eternal Sovereign reckoned that he had no chance of winning against them by himself.

The expressions of the Eternal Sovereign followers turned grim as the plain-skirt lady got closer and closer to them. Their guard instantly shot up through the roof; they dared not underestimate the plain-skirt lady.

The Eternal Sovereign didn't take his eyes off of the plain-skirt lady.

"They're outnumbered, so let's attack them together."

BOOM!

A terrifying aura burst out of the Eternal Sovereign, and it was so strong that it made even the starry sky tremble, seemingly boiling beneath the Eternal Sovereign's might. His followers did the same and decisively rushed toward the plain-skirt lady.

The Eternal Sovereign was right. Even though those three people were definitely extraordinary cultivators, what could they possibly do against their overwhelming numbers?

How terrifying was an army of cultivators whose cultivation bases were Divine Sovereigns at the very least? They reckoned that if they were to attack together, they would be strong enough to annihilate even the entire Milky Way.

The plain-skirt lady opened her palm, and the Path Sword appeared. Then, it turned into a ray of sword light that disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Schwing!

A cold arc was left in the air as tens of thousands of heads flew up along with tens of thousands of streams of blood that were like fountains, haphazardly spraying blood all over the place.

It seemed that the cultivators still had no idea that they had died, as they were still running toward the plain-skirt lady with their weapons in hand. However, the harsh and cold reality was that they were already dead—the plain-skirt lady had killed them in an instant!

No, someone was still alive. The plain-skirt lady had chosen not to kill him immediately, and he was none other than the Eternal Sovereign.

The Eternal Sovereign froze, and his mind went completely blank, looking as if he had been struck by lightning. His followers had just died before his eyes, and they were decapitated in the blink of an eye at that!

His powerful followers had perished as if they were mere chickens!

The sight was so surreal that the Eternal Sovereign couldn't quite believe it.

Meanwhile, Cirou and Cishu's expressions turned grim. Clearly, the plain-skirt lady was much stronger than they had imagined. The plain-skirt lady had just annihilated an army made up of supreme elites.

Ye Guan sighed with admiration while staring at his aunt. The plain-skirt lady's strength defied logic, and Ye Guan wondered if he would ever become as strong as his aunt.

The plain-skirt lady looked down at the Eternal Sovereign and asked, "So what if you outnumber us?"

The Eternal Sovereign glared at her and roared, "What is your cultivation base?!"

The plain-skirt lady shook her head. "You're a paltry ant in my eyes, and I can kill you with a pinch."

The plain-skirt lady waved her sleeve, sending a ray of sword light toward the Eternal Sovereign. The Eternal Sovereign's pupils constricted. The moment he laid his eyes on the oncoming sword light, he instantly knew that the sword light would kill him.

However, the Eternal Sovereign remained defiant. His expression became ferocious as he clenched his fists tightly and roared, "Come!"

A terrifying aura burst out of him as he charged toward the ray of sword light. He was too weak to resist the attack, but it didn't matter. He was going to die anyway, so he chose to die in battle.

The Eternal Sovereign let go of all the distractions and reservations in his heart. His eyes no longer reflected fear as he rushed to meet the oncoming sword light.

BOOM!

A deafening noise echoed inside the Eternal Sovereign. He had just made a breakthrough. The Eternal Sovereign hadn't been able to make a breakthrough over the past millions of years, and his cultivation base meant that it would be extremely difficult for him to make any breakthroughs, but...

The Eternal Sovereign's aura surged crazily, and his might made the entire starry sky tremble violently.

Finally, the ray of sword light reached him and...

Crackle!

The Path Sword shattered the Eternal Sovereign's aura and pierced his forehead, immobilizing him completely. The Eternal Sovereign had made a breakthrough, but he was still as insignificant as an ant in the plain-skirt lady's eyes.

The Eternal Sovereign's eyes widened in shock and despair. His breakthrough was supposed to help him overcome the hurdle before him, but it turned out that he was still too weak to withstand the plain-skirt lady's sword move.

He truly didn't expect to die in an instant. The Eternal Sovereign chuckled, realizing that he had never really been strong—he was nothing but a mere ant in the eyes of certain beings.

The Eternal Sovereign's fleshly body began to crumble, and he eventually vanished into nothingness.

The Eternal Sovereign was no more!

Ye Guan remained quiet all throughout. He wasn't happy at all. For some reason, he felt a sense of urgency and crisis. The plain-skirt lady had broadened his horizons once more.

Ye Guan didn't think of the Eternal Sovereign as a mere ant; he reckoned that the reason the Eternal Sovereign became so arrogant was the fact that he had never really encountered someone stronger than the Great Daoist Brush Master.

In the Eternal Sovereign's eyes, no one was stronger than the Great Daoist Brush Master. However, the plain-skirt lady was much more powerful than the Great Daoist Brush Master.

Ye Guan pondered that if the plain-skirt lady and Ye Xuan weren't his relatives, would he be just as ignorant as the Eternal Sovereign? Ye Guan would most likely think that the Great Destiny Sovereign Realm was the limit.

He would be akin to a frog in a well! People mock others for their ignorance, not realizing that they were frogs inside a well as well—a bigger well than where the other frogs were located.

The vast expanse was incredibly vast, so it was inevitable for someone out there to be more powerful than anyone. In other words, one had to remain humble and not let their strength get to their head.

Ye Guan emptied his mind and opened his palm.

A tiny golden pagoda flew toward his palm.

Master Pagoda is back!

Ye Guan said, "Long time no see, Master Pagoda!"

"Were you even worried about me while I was gone?" Little Pagoda asked, sounding annoyed.

Ye Guan laughed out loud and said, "Master Pagoda, you've followed my father and my grandfather before. You've seen so much of the world, so how could the Eternal Sovereign be a match for you at all?"

Little Pagoda laughed and said, "You're still as clever as ever. You're right. I, Master Pagoda, have seen it all. The Eternal Sovereign is just a slightly bigger ant. If Sister Destiny hadn't made a move today, I would have killed him myself."

Ye Guan smiled at Little Pagoda's bragging. Yes, Little Pagoda's bragging was annoying, but it sounded refreshing to Ye Guan, who hadn't seen Little Pagoda for a long time.

Just then, the plain-skirt lady and the Sword Master walked over to Ye Guan. The plain-skirt lady opened her palm, and a pile of storage rings flew toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was ecstatic at the sight. The storage rings once belonged to the Eternal Sovereign and his followers.

Ye Guan was thrilled by the fact that the plain-skirt lady hadn't annihilated the storage rings along with their owners. Ye Guan quickly pocketed them, and he started grinning at the thought of how many spiritual cores he had just earned.

Ye Guan believed that he had hit the jackpot!

"We're leaving," the plain-skirt lady said.

Leaving?

The smile on Ye Guan's face immediately vanished.

"Father?" Ye Guan asked while staring at the Sword Master.

The Sword Master walked up to Ye Guan and smiled. "We're going somewhere—somewhere distant from this part of the vast expanse."

Ye Guan asked, "Is it very far away?"

"Yes," the Sword Master replied.

Ye Guan fell silent, feeling unwilling to part with his father.

The Sword Master asked, "Do you really want to walk on this path on your own?"

Ye Guan nodded. He didn't want to take the easy route and truly become the King of Relying on Others.

The Sword Master was silent for a few moments before he patted Ye Guan on the shoulder and said, "All the best, son."

Ye Guan asked, "Will I ever see you two again?"

The plain-skirt lady replied, "It depends on whether you want to see us or not."

Ye Guan was confused by the plain-skirt lady's response.

The plain-skirt lady glanced at Cizhen and saw that Cizhen was staring at her. It was the first time these two exceptionally talented women made eye contact with each other.

However, the plain-skirt lady didn't say anything as she turned around and left with the Sword Master. Following her departure, a certain someone on Mount Fanjing heaved a sigh of relief.

She's finally gone!

However, the Great Daoist Brush Master's eyes narrowed upon noticing something, and he clenched his fists tightly.

A certain someone on Red Star looked up and stared into the starry skies.

Ye Guan's expression was gloomy. Even though he was unwilling to part with his aunt and his father, he knew that they had something to do.

Shaking off all his thoughts, Ye Guan walked up to Cizhen.

"We should also leave," Ye Guan said, smiling.

Cizhen smiled back. "You guys can go ahead without me."

Ye Guan was confused. "Are you planning to stay in the Milky Way?"

Cizhen shook her head and said, "No, I'm going somewhere else."

Ye Guan asked, "Where?"

Cizhen didn't say a word as she smiled.

Ye Guan and Cirou immediately became nervous.

Cirou grabbed Cizhen's hand, and her voice was trembling as she said, "B-big Sister..."

"All good things must come to an end, and it is time for us to part ways," Cizhen said.

Ye Guan asked, "Is it because of the Universe Tribulation?"

Cizhen's gaze landed in the depths of the starry sky. "There's more."

There's more?

Ye Guan frowned.

What is she talking about?

Boom!

A terrifying aura burst out of the depths of the starry sky. Ye Guan turned and realized that the aura was coming from so far away that he couldn't quite see where it had come from. However, one thing was for sure; the aura was so strong that it seemed to have enveloped everything.

"What is that?!" Ye Guan exclaimed.

Cizhen smiled lightly. "It's the Universe Tribulation."

Ye Guan was shocked. "Is it about to erupt?"

"They've been waiting a long time," Cizhen nodded.

They?

Ye Guan turned to look at her and wanted to ask her what she meant when the multiple spacetime rifts abruptly manifested around them. Shockingly, the spacetime rifts contained hundreds of thousands of Time Rivers.

The largest Time River appeared directly in front of them, and a woman slowly emerged from the Time River. The woman was wearing a white robe, and a golden mask covered half her face.

Meanwhile, two mysterious powerful figures dressed in black robes followed her closely from behind.

Ye Guan's pupils constricted upon seeing the white-robed woman.

It's her! She actually came here?!

More and more cultivators walked out of the nearby Time Rivers, and Ye Guan trembled like an aspen tree upon realizing a grim fact. Every single one of the cultivators radiated auras far stronger than the Eternal Sovereign's aura after his breakthrough!

Ye Guan was stupefied.

W-what does this mean? Are Great Destiny Sovereigns just mere ants now? What's going on? Where are these people from? What are they trying to do here?

Today, they were going to kill the True God!
