Chapter 358: Someone Has Claimed Theyre Invincible!
Chapter 358: Someone Has Claimed They're Invincible!
Everyone was stupefied at the sight. They truly didn't expect that Ye Guan would be enlightened to battle intent while fighting the Battle Sovereign. In addition, the battle intent was born from his sword intent.
A Battle Sword Intent!
Ye Guan’s sword intent surged crazily and went through a qualitative change.
A Tribulation Lightning Sword Intent coupled with a Battle Sword Intent!
Ye Guan’s Sword Intent had reached yet another peak.
The Battle Sovereign frowned deeply upon seeing that Ye Guan had gotten enlightened to battle intent. He was truly caught off guard by the fact that the young man had used his battle intent to get enlightened to battle intent.
He glared at Ye Guan, and without beating around the bush, he leaped forward and slashed downward with his golden battle axe.
Schwing!
The surroundings were torn apart. A force strong enough to destroy an entire world rushed toward Ye Guan. The surroundings crumpled as the golden axe tore it apart.
Ye Guan looked up and laughed heartily. He stomped with his right foot and transformed into a ray of sword light before rushing to the skies.
I’ll fight! Even if I can’t beat the Battle Sovereign, I'm still going to fight!
His battle intent became even stronger than before as his sword collided with the Battle Sovereign’s golden axe.
Boom!
An explosion of sword light occurred, sending sword lights in all directions.
Ye Guan plummeted to the ground.
The Battle Sovereign was about to attack once more, but he flinched and looked down at the battle axe in his hand. A few moments later, an audible crack echoed as the axe scattered into ashes.
The Battle Sovereign was stunned.
The Eternal Civilisation cultivators froze. The Battle Sovereign’s axe... shattered?
Everyone’s faces were soon filled with disbelief.
The Battle Sovereign's golden axe was an unranked divine item! It had been countless battles, but it had remained sturdy despite that. Clearly, it wasn't wasn't just an ordinary unranked divine item.
However, a young swordsman had actually shattered it!
Everyone from the Eternal Civilisation stared at the sword in Ye Guan’s hands. They knew the extent of Ye Guan’s strength and knew that he couldn't have destroyed the golden axe with his own power. The crux of the matter had to be the sword.
What kind of sword was it?
The cultivators of the Eternal Civilisation were shocked and curious at the same time. They couldn't help but think that Ye Guan’s sword was even more powerful than unranked divine items.
Jingchen glared at Ye Guan, and his expression became increasingly gloomy as he thought to himself, This young man is seriously full of surprises.
The Battle Sovereign turned his attention to Ye Guan. More accurately, he was looking at the sword in Ye Guan's hands.
“What a great sword!” he exclaimed. Then, he took one step forward and punched.
Boom!
A fist imprint emblazoned with a terrifying battle intent descended toward Ye Guan.
Unafraid, Ye Guan's figure blurred. He turned into a ray of golden light and took to the skies, slashing out with his sword at the fist imprint.
Let’s get this over and done with!
BOOM!
The sword light shattered, and Ye Guan was blasted away. The moment he flew out, the Battle Sovereign rushed forward and sent another punch.
Ye Guan's eyes narrowed, and he slashed out fiercely
Heavenrend—a hundred stacks!
He had decided to face the fist imprint head-on!
Boom!
Ye Guan flew as if he were a kite with its strings cut, but his attack had managed to force the Battle Sovereign to come to a halt. The Battle Sovereign looked down at his right hand and saw that many cracks had formed on it; blood oozed out of the cracks.
The cultivators of the Eternal Civilisation became gloomy at the sight. They knew the extent of the Battle Sovereign's strength. He was second only to the Eternal Sovereign. It was true that he had just shattered his seal, but he was still someone that even a Great Destiny Sovereign would struggle to fight.
However, a young swordsman had actually injured him?
Ye Guan was just a Great Sovereign—an Ordinary Great Sovereign. In addition, his cultivation base was just temporary.
How terrifying would he become once he became a true Great Sovereign?
The cultivators of the Eternal Civilization frowned at the thought. He's too talented!
The Battle Sovereign furrowed his brows when he looked at Ye Guan. He had just realized that even though Ye Guan was injured, he was recovering so quickly that his injuries could be considered scratches at best.
It had to be his Dao imprint and the Divine Tree of Nature! In other words, the Battle Sovereign had to defeat Ye Guan in one punch, or Ye Guan would always be at his peak condition.
The Battle Sovereign fell silent. He was finally convinced that external tools were great. He initially believed that external tools were just smoke and mirrors; they couldn't represent a cultivator's true strength, but perhaps his belief had stemmed from the fact that his spiritual artifacts at the time were lacking in quality.
The young swordsman in front of him had both quality and quantity—it was quite ridiculous, even in his eyes.
The Battle Sovereign emptied his mind; his right hand trembled, and his injuries quickly recovered. He cast his gaze upon Ye Guan in the distance and clenched his right fist.
Boom!
A myriad strands of his battle intent converged on the palm of his hand. At the same time, the spacetime within a radius of a hundred kilometers began to tremble violently. The Battle Sovereign was about to unleash a martial skill!
Ye Guan’s expression turned solemn. The Battle Sovereign had finally decided to confront him with all his might rather than just his fists and axe!
Ye Guan seemed to have thought of something, and he used his Qingxuan Sword to hit the ancient copper shield.
Screech!
A shrill noise echoed as a faint scratch appeared on the shield, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Ye Guan was shocked—shocked at the Qingxuan Sword's sharpness and the toughness of Erya's horns.
It seemed that only the ancient copper shield was sturdy enough to withstand the Qingxuan Sword.
The sharpest sword and the sturdiest shield!
Just then, the Battle Sovereign let out a roar and sent a punch toward Ye Guan.
Terrifying Battle Intent surged like a tide toward Ye Guan, and the surrounding spacetime was annihilated in an instant. The powerful battle intent forced the nearby cultivators to retreat. They didn't dare to challenge such a strong battle intent.
A long-range attack! Ye Guan frowned. A long-range attack meant he couldn't easily counterattack. He lifted the ancient copper shield and placed it in front of him. He had decided to make the shield take the brunt of the oncoming attack.
Boom!
Ye Guan was blasted away by the terrifying wave of battle intent. In the blink of an eye, he had traveled more than ten kilometers. Ye Guan looked up and was astonished to find the Battle Sovereign charging at him.
The Battle Sovereign threw a fist that landed on Ye Guan’s ancient copper shield.
Bam!
Ye Guan was once again sent flying backward together with the ancient copper shield. Before he could even stop, the Battle Sovereign appeared in front of him once again and threw out another punch.
However, Ye Guan suddenly retracted his shield and slashed out with his sword.
The Battle Sovereign narrowed his eyes and retracted his fist. His figure trembled, and he retreated backward, leaving a blurry trail. However, it seemed that Ye Guan had expected the Battle Sovereign's retreat, as he immediately rushed forward and slashed out with his sword once again.
The Battle Sovereign retreated some more.
Schwing!
Ye Guan’s attack struck empty air, and the spacetime where the Battle Sovereign previously stood took the impact of his attack.
Ye Guan cast his gaze upon the distant Battle Sovereign. His expression was extremely gloomy. He realized that if the Battle Sovereign didn't fight him head-on, he couldn't injure the Battle Sovereign at all.
The Battle Sovereign was much faster than him, after all. Clearly, there was still a huge gap between him and the Battle Sovereign, even though he was currently a Great Sovereign.
The Battle Sovereign stared back at Ye Guan with a deep frown. He could feel a headache coming on as he thought about having to deal with Ye Guan.
Ye Guan had the sharpest sword and the strongest shield! His recovery rate was also terrifying. The Battle Sovereign felt slightly helpless. If he were at his peak condition, Ye Guan would have perished long ago, but right now...
Ye Guan rushed to the Battle Sovereign with an excited look on his face. He charged forward and thrust his sword toward the Battle Sovereign.
The Battle Sovereign’s figure flashed as he retreated backward, wanting to increase the distance between them.
Bam!
Ye Guan’s sword had missed once again!
Swoosh!
The Battle Sovereign suddenly appeared right in front of Ye Guan. Ye Guan immediately felt a terrifying pressure weighing down on him. He hurriedly raised his shield to block the oncoming attack.
Bam!
Ye Guan staggered backward, but the Battle Sovereign wasn't done just yet as he flickered next to Ye Guan.
Shocked, Ye Guan quickly raised his shield, but his expression changed drastically. He whipped around, but the moment he did, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen!
Bam!
Ye Guan flew away, and a hand grabbed the ancient copper shield wrapped around his arm. The hand belonged to the Battle Sovereign, and he was trying to snatch the ancient copper shield away from Ye Guan!
Ye Guan let go of the ancient copper shield and charged forward with his sword. The Battle Sovereign didn't dare to take the attack head-on and let go of the ancient copper shield to retreat rapidly.
Ye Guan's expression was dark as he stared at the Battle Sovereign. He had almost lost his shield to the latter.
The Battle Sovereign stared back at him, and without beating around the bush, he suddenly disappeared from where he was standing. He was incredibly fast, and like a ghost, he reappeared in front of Ye Guan.
Ye Guan suddenly whipped around and thrust his sword forward.
Shwik!
An afterimage dispersed into smoke, and the Battle Sovereign reappeared a thousand meters away from Ye Guan.
The Battle Sovereign's expression was solemn. Ye Guan had just predicted his movement. Soon, his eyes narrowed as he exclaimed, “So you're a Martial God as well?"
Ye Guan didn't reply. He charged at the Battle Sovereign and slashed out with his sword—a sword move emblazoned with Unbeatable!
The Battle Sovereign had learned from a hard lesson. He dared not face Ye Guan’s attacks head-on. Ye Guan's sword was just too sharp for him to withstand.
He retreated, creating distance between himself and Ye Guan. However, when Ye Guan was about to unleash another sword attack, the Battle Sovereign suddenly disappeared. Thousands of afterimages surrounded Ye Guan in an instant, and they were incredibly fast.
Ye Guan couldn't tell which one of them was the Battle Sovereign’s true body.
Taking one step forward, Ye Guan activated his sword domain.
The afterimages started to slow down as Ye Guan's domain expanded and engulfed them. The next moment, however, his sword domain abruptly shattered. His sword domain had lasted for only an instant, but it had allowed him to find the Battle Sovereign’s true body.
He turned around and lunged forward with his sword.
Boom!
The Battle Sovereign retreated.
Ye Guan didn't give chase and just stared at him silently.
Jingchen suddenly said, “Ye Guan, you’re being protected by a whole bunch of divine equipment. Where’s the fun in that?”
Ye Guan glanced at him and asked, “Why don’t you suppress your cultivation base and fight with me one-on-one?”
Jingchen’s face turned ugly. He wasn't even confident that he could beat Ye Guan even with his entire cultivation base, so how could he defeat Ye Guan with a suppressed cultivation base?
Ye Guan cast a contemptuous gaze at Jingchen and said, “Your cultivation base is much higher than mine, but you want me to take off my equipment. You're even more shameless than—”
Ye Guan caught himself in time. Otherwise, his father would give him a beatdown.
“Haha!” a hearty peal of laughter echoed as a terrifying aura surged from the depths of the starry sky. “Battle Sovereign, you are actually struggling to deal with mere ants? How embarrassing!”
A spacetime rift was torn open, and a middle-aged man walked out of it.
Jingchen shouted with delight, “Demon Sovereign!”
The Demon Sovereign was here!
The Demon Sovereign was one of the four most powerful Great Sovereigns under the Eternal Sovereign. The Demon Sovereign was rebellious by nature, and his Dao was considered unorthodox, or rather, demonic. Out of the four most powerful Great Sovereigns, his temper was the hottest, but he was the strongest as well.
In terms of strength, he was second only to the Battle Sovereign when he was at his peak, and he was the third strongest throughout the Eternal Civilization during its heyday.
The Battle Sovereign stared quietly at the Demon Sovereign.
The Demon Sovereign looked at Ye Guan and the others from the Guanxuan Universe; his face was full of disdain as he said, “They’re just a bunch of ants; how are they worthy of being a threat to the Eternal Civilisation?”
The Battle Sovereign glanced at him and said, “Don't be reckless.”
“Reckless?” The Demon Sovereign asked. He then grinned and said, “The Great Daoist Brush Master is no longer around. Who else can go against our Eternal Civilisation? I guess you're still recovering from the injury you sustained many years ago, so it's understandable that you're finding it difficult to deal with these ants here. Step aside, then. Let me do it!"
The Demon Sovereign glanced at Ye Guan and asked, “Are you that Ye Guan?”
Ye Guan nodded and asked, “Who are you?”
The Demon Sovereign replied, “I’m the Demon Sovereign. Have you heard of me before?”
"No, but..." Ye Guan shook his head and asked, “Are you strong?”
The Demon Sovereign laughed and said, “As long as the Great Daoist Brush Master and the First Sovereign aren't around, I’m invincible. Invincible! Do you get it?”
“Huh?”
A soft cry echoed in everyone's ears, prompting them to look up at the starry sky.
A white-robed swordsman came to a halt as he flew across the starry sky of a distant vast expanse. He turned around, and his gaze seemed to ignore the concept of distance as he stared at something.
The blue-robed man next to him asked, “Brother Unfettered, what’s wrong?”
The white-robed swordsman replied, “Someone just said they're invincible.”
The blue-robed man shook his head and said, “It’s probably just another insignificant ant. Don't bother yourself with them.”
The white-robed man hesitated for a while before saying, “I think it’s better if I just go there and take a look! I have to make them stop saying that they're invincible, or else I'll get too annoyed to do anything else."
The blue-robed man had yet to reply, but the white-robed swordsman had already become a ray of sword light, speeding into the distance.
