Chapter 583: A Sword From The Heavens

There was a galaxy in the sword.

There was a galaxy inside the Galaxy Book, and the Galaxy Book allowed Ye Guan to harness the power of a star field through his sword.

Ye Guan closed his eyes with his sword in his hand. He could sense the boundless power of the galaxy coursing through him. It was an extremely domineering power that made even Ye Guan himself feel apprehensive.

After a while, Ye Guan opened his eyes slowly and looked down at the sword in his hand with a solemn expression. He had underestimated the treasures from the First God's era.

These treasures were more terrifying than he had expected. The Divine Imprint hadn't lied. If their opponent were at their peak, he and his older sister wouldn't have been worthy opponents. After all, the Galaxy Book was weaker compared to the Divine Imprint.

Ye Guan put away the sword in his hand and stared at the tiny bronze door next to the desk.

Ye Guan's curiosity was piqued.

Mu Yuan noticed that and said in a deep voice, "It's the Door of Extermination."

Ye Guan looked at Mu Yuan and asked, "The Door of Extermination?"

Mu Yuan nodded with a solemn expression, "It's a powerful weapon and is known as the strongest of the Four Great Divine Treasures. There is an extremely terrifying array of extermination beyond that door, and the First God had laid it out personally."

Ye Guan nodded slightly, and then he reached out to pick up the Door of Extermination.

"Wait," Mu Yuan said, stopping Ye Guan.

Ye Guan looked at Mu Yuan.

Mu Yuan said in a deep voice, "The array beyond this door is an amalgamation of the vast expanse's killing intent. Those unqualified but daring enough to make contact with the door will have their minds eroded in an instant."

Ye Guan became even more interested.

"An amalgamation of the vast expanse's killing intent?" Ye Guan asked.

"Yes," Mu Yuan said, nodding. "At the time, the First God used his divine power to gather the vast expanse's killing intent, and then he shaped the killing intent into an array that he placed beyond the Door of Extermination."

"Ye Guan, you're staring at the vast expanse's most dangerous weapon. You must not come into contact with it."

Ye Guan smiled slightly and said, "I want to give it a try."

Killing intent? He wasn't afraid of killing intent at all.

He had the Mad Demon Bloodline, after all.

Mu Yuan hesitated briefly before saying, "All right. Be careful, then."

Ye Guan nodded. As soon as he picked up the Door of Extermination with his right hand, his eyes widened, and a terrifying killing intent rushed inside of him. Ye Guan's eyes became bloodshot.

Everyone's faces changed drastically, and they frantically retreated.

The killing intent that Ye Guan was emitting was just too terrifying.

Ye An looked at Ye Guan with worry in her eyes. She could feel that the Mad Demon Bloodline inside Ye Guan was gaining ground and would soon awaken completely.

No one would be able to suppress Ye Guan's Mad Demon Bloodline once he had fallen into madness.

Ye Guan clenched his fists; his Mortal Bloodline and his Phoenix Emperor Bloodline came to life and fought the Mad Demon Bloodline inside of him.

Mu Yuan was stupefied; he was shocked upon realizing that Ye Guan had three bloodlines. Possessing just one special bloodline was already considered extraordinary, but Ye Guan actually had three special bloodlines. It was simply unbelievable!

Ye Guan's Mortal Bloodline and Phoenix Emperor Bloodline worked together to suppress the Mad Demon Bloodline, allowing Ye Guan to awaken.

Ye Guan let go of the Door of Extermination. The Door of Extermination fell to the ground, and Ye Guan took several steps backward. Ye Guan clenched his fists, and the Mad Demon Bloodline within him gradually calmed down.

Eventually, Ye Guan returned to normal.

Ye An pulled Ye Guan's arm, asking, "Are you okay?"

Ye Guan glanced at Ye An and saw her worried look. He took a deep breath to compose himself before replying, "I'm fine."

Ye Guan cast a shaken look at the Door of Extermination before him. He had sensed a boundless killing intent from within the Door of Extermination, and it was an exceedingly powerful killing intent.

To make matters worse, Ye Guan also felt an inscrutable aura beyond the Door of Extermination. The aura was faint, but he managed to pick up on it.

Ye Guan looked at Mu Yuan and asked, "Mu Yuan, I sensed a presence inside this door. Do you have any idea what it could be?"

Mu Yuan frowned. "A presence?"

Ye Guan nodded.

After pondering for a while, Mu Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. The item was crafted by the First God himself, and then he gave it to God General Evil Ming. In other words, only God General Evil Ming and the First God knows everything about it."

What an extraordinary item,

Ye Guan mused to himself as he stared quietly at the Door of Extermination. He dared not attempt to take control over the Door of Extermination, as it had the potential to make his Mad Demon Bloodline even more uncontrollable.

However, Ye Guan knew that he could use it during life-or-death situations, as it was a way to strengthen his Mad Demon Bloodline.

Ye Guan swept his gaze across the bookshelves. Some of the books were authored by the First God himself, while the rest had been collected by him.

Ye Guan's eyes fell on a black book. Ye Guan opened it and found ancient mysterious runes inscribed on its pages. Perplexed, he handed the book to Mu Yuan.

Mu Yuan stared at it with a puzzled look.

Ye Guan was surprised. "You don't recognize these characters?"

Mu Yuan shook his head. "Yeah, I don't."

Ye Guan was confused.

Mu Yuan sounded solemn as he explained, "These characters aren't from our era."

Ye Guan examined the black book with his divine sense. However, his divine sense vanished without a trace as soon as it made contact with the book. Ye Guan was taken aback.

My divine sense can't penetrate it? That's a bit Interesting.

Ye An placed a hand on the black book and frowned.

Ye Guan asked, "What's wrong?"

"This book feels strange," Ye An remarked, "You should be careful."

"Did you find out something, Big Sis?"

Ye An shook her head. "Just a gut feeling."

A gut feeling...

Ye Guan was taken aback at first, but then he smiled.

Ye An saw Ye Guan's smile and shrugged. "If you don't believe it, it's fine."

"I do believe you," said Ye Guan with a shake of his head. His gut feeling was also telling him that the black book was dangerous. In the end, Ye Guan returned the black book to the shelf, and then his gaze fell on a ring not too far away from him.

The ring was made out of gold, and the character "One" was inscribed on its surface.

Ye Guan noticed that Mu Yuan had been stealing glances at the golden ring.

Ye Guan spread his palm, and the ring flew into his hand. His divine sense then entered the ring, and he was stunned by what he saw inside. The next moment, he revealed a light smile and put the ring away.

Mu Yuan glanced at Ye Guan but did not speak.

Ye An stared quietly at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan turned to Ye An and said, "Big Sis, stay here and take whatever you want. Don't stand on ceremony. What's mine is yours, after all."

Both the Lady of Sin and Mu Yuan were taken aback by Ye Guan's words. The temple still contained many divine treasures, but Ye Guan had actually allowed Ye An to take whatever she wanted to take. In addition...

What's mine is yours!

Clearly, the two siblings had an extraordinary bond.

Ye An nodded slightly. "Okay."

The Lady of Sin and Mu Yuan shook their heads with a wry smile.

Ye An was indeed not planning on standing on ceremony!

Mu Yuan had noticed something else as well. The divine treasures before them were precious, but these siblings didn't seem to value them that much. In other words, the siblings had seen many things and had a broader worldview.

After leaving the world inside the tiny pagoda, Mu Yuan appeared in front of Ye Guan and solemnly said, "Ye Guan, we should go and subdue the Yin-Yang Twin Beasts. Then, we have a few God Generals and Divine Servants to handle..."

Ye Guan asked, "How does my strength compare to the Yin-Yang Twin Beasts?"

Mu Yuan hesitated for a moment before replying, "There should be... a slight difference."

Ye Guan chuckled and asked, "Elder Mu Yuan, do you really think they'll follow someone weaker than them?"

Mu Yuan sounded solemn as he replied, "You have the Divine Imprint, so they will—"

Ye Guan interrupted with a shake of his head and said, "I'm weak, so I'm sure they are not going to follow me out of loyalty if they somehow decide to follow me despite my strength. I don't want to have such a following, as it would be completely meaningless in the end.

"In other words, my top priority is becoming even stronger myself rather than seeking external help. If I'm strong and outstanding enough, they're going to follow me willingly.

"Otherwise, it's meaningless even if they end up following me. Moreover, an information leak is going to be inevitable if I were to seek them out this early. Once everyone knows that I had obtained the First God's inheritance, I will surely be hunted down."

Divine artifacts and powerful helpers were not to be neglected, but one's own strength had to be the top priority.

Ye Guand ought to lie low and take it slow. Once he was powerful enough, the loyal subordinates of the First God would surely come to him by themselves. If not, then it wouldn't really matter, as Ye Guan himself was already strong enough.

Mu Yuan stared at Ye Guan with astonishment in his eyes. If someone else had obtained the inheritance of the First God, they would have drifted away to no man's land.

However, the young man managed to stay composed and judge himself fairly.

He was indeed a remarkable young man.

Mu Yuan agreed with Ye Guan's words; there was no guarantee that the god generals and Divine Servants would choose to follow Ye Guan, even if he managed to subdue them.

They could also have ulterior motives, and Ye Guan would be in trouble by then.

Mu Yuan set aside his thoughts and said, "Pardon me. I wasn't thinking clearly."

"Elder Mu Yuan, you should cultivate inside the pagoda for now."

Mu Yuan nodded and returned to the world inside the tiny pagoda. He had a special identity, and he had to stay hidden for the meantime.

Ye Guan's gaze landed on the Lady of Sin.

"Are you really not going back to the Sin Continent with me?" asked the Lady of Sin in a deep voice. She was hoping that Ye Guan would return to the Sin Continent with her. Once Ye Guan's identity was exposed, the Sin Continent would witness the birth of a ray of hope.

Ye Guan shook his head.

The Lady of Sin wanted to say something, but Ye Guan calmly said, "I understand your feelings. You want to change the Sin Continent's status quo. However, you have to understand that things aren't that simple, especially when I still don't understand the Sin Continent's God.

"In other words, we cannot do anything drastic for now."

"How long do I have to wait for you?"

"I will make a move at the right time."

The Lady of Sin fell into contemplation before nodding and saying, "I'll listen to you."

Ye Guan opened his palm, and five strands of Ancestral Origin floated over to the Lady of Sin. "First of all, I want you to become even stronger. I want you to move once I tell you to move."

The Lady of Sin didn't refuse the offer and accepted the strands of Ancestral Origin.

"If you need anything, just come find me," said the Lady of Sin before turning around and disappearing into the depths of the starry sky.

Left all alone, Ye Guan turned around to leave as well, but he sensed something and turned around. His gaze pierced through countless star fields, and he witnessed a sword falling straight down, annihilating a massive star field.
