Chapter 342: Infuriating Man

Ye Guan turned on his heel and walked away.

Before he met the Ba Wan standing in front of him, he felt a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. He wished to encounter the past Ba Wan—the Ba Wan whose hunger seemed impossible to satisfy. The woman standing in front of him had made it clear that the past Ba Wan would never come back.

She wasn't Ba Wan; she was True Selflessness.

He finally understood why she had chosen not to go with him back then.

Staring at Ye Guan's departing figure, True Selflessness’ right hand, hidden inside her sleeve, slowly clenched into a fist, but she remained calm. There wasn’t even a hint of emotions in her eyes.

The Adjudication Sword gripped the sword in her hand tightly as she stared at Ye Guan, but her expression remained stoic. Soon, Ye Guan vanished from their eyes.

True Selflessness shut her eyes, and her right hand balled into a fist quivered violently.

Cirou suddenly said, "The Eternal Sovereign’s men should be here by now."

The Adjudication Sword Master's eyes narrowed as she stared at Cirou.

"You've colluded with the Eternal Sovereign?" she asked.

Cirou calmly responded, "Don't look at me like that. The Eternal Sovereign is simply determined to obtain his divine items. After all, he has the Divine Tree of Nature and the Sword Master's Dao Imprint."

The Adjudication Sword Master stared deeply at Cirou, but she remained silent.

"Won't it be great if the Eternal Civilization and the Guanxuan Universe end up destroying each other?" Cirou asked the Adjudication Sword Master.

The Adjudication Sword Master didn't respond. She turned around to leave.Embark on a journey to the beginning at n0v#lbin★

Cirou immediately blocked her path.

"Cijing, what are you going to do?" she asked, sounding furious.

"It's none of your business!" the Adjudication Sword Master responded fiercely. She didn't even look back at Cirou as she stepped onto her sword and disappeared into the distant horizon.

Cirou stomped around in frustration. "Just what is she trying to do?"

True Selflessness looked up without saying a word.

"She always kicks up a fuss during important times. She really knows how to make me go crazy," Cirou remarked and got ready to fly. She wanted to stop the Adjudication Sword Master herself.

However, True Selflessness interrupted her by saying, "Let it go."

Cirou cast a surprised gaze upon True Selflessness. However, True Selflessness remained silent as she turned around and left.

...

Ye Guan streaked across the starry sky at the fastest speed possible. His goal was to return to the Guanxuan Universe. His intuition was screaming at him about the possibility that Cirou had colluded with the Eternal Sovereign against him.

He had to return to the Guanxuan Universe to warn them of what was to come.

He didn't dare underestimate the Eternal Sovereign. To make matters worse, Cirou had decided to collude with the Eternal Sovereign, so it wouldn't be long before the True Universe and the Eternal Civilization established an alliance.

An alliance between them would put the Guanxuan Universe in extreme peril.

Just then, the spacetime a kilometer away from Ye Guan was torn open, and a middle-aged man rushed out of the spacetime rift. At the same time, a fist imprint rushed toward Ye Guan like a tidal wave.

Boom!

A low rumbling echoed from the starry sky as the fist imprint made its way over to Ye Guan. The powerful undulations from the fist imprint were enough for Ye Guan to deduce that the middle-aged man was a Great Destiny Sovereign.

A Great Destiny Sovereign! Ye Guan's face darkened. He had his suspicions that Cirou had decided to collude with the Eternal Sovereign, but he didn't expect to get attacked so soon. Since only the True Universe knew that he was here, Cirou had obviously told them of his whereabouts.

Ye Guan set his thoughts aside and drew his sword.

Heavenrend Quickdraw—sixty as one!

Ye Guan's sword let out a shrill cry as it carved a path in the starry sky. The spacetime in a few dozen radius around Ye Guan collapsed with a thunderous roar; the sheer power contained within Ye Guan's sword shattered the oncoming fist imprint.

Boom!

Both Ye Guan and the middle-aged man were blasted away.

It took Ye Guan a few kilometers of flying before he could finally stop. He looked up and finally saw his opponent—a black-robed middle-aged man with a towering physique. The man's fists were so massive that they looked like huge hammers.

A kaleidoscope of sword light erupted. Ye Guan's sword seemed as tiny as a grain of dust when compared to the golden fist of the golden astral projection, but the moment the sword and the colossal fist collided—

The golden fist violently trembled and exploded!

Almost simultaneously, Ye Guan and the black-robed middle-aged man vanished.

Moments later, a burst of fist light and sword light erupted into multiple collisions!

Rumble!

A terrifying shockwave swept across the starry sky.

Ye Guan staggered backward. He got ready to counterattack, but his pupils suddenly constricted. He turned around and found a long spear flying toward him from behind.

Another Great Destiny Sovereign was here! The long spear moved at astonishing speeds, and it caught Ye Guan off guard. He couldn't react in time, and the long spear pierced his chest.

Boom!

Ye Guan flew like a kite that had lost its strings. He cut a sorry figure in mid-air, and when he stopped, he saw a hole in his chest oozing with blood. Raising his head, Ye Guan looked up and found a white-robed man holding a long spear.

The black-robed middle-aged man sounded displeased as he asked, "Sovereign Xuan, why did you intervene?"

Sovereign Xuan glanced at the black-robed middle-aged man and replied, "Sovereign Mang, the First Sovereign has ordered us to bring back his head and his divine items.”

The First Sovereign’s commands? Sovereign Mang's brows furrowed.

"We can't afford to waste any more time," Sovereign Xuan said, "Let's do it together!"

His words had yet to finish echoing when he vanished into thin air.

Shwik!

The long spear tore through everything in its path as it made a beeline for Ye Guan.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Sovereign Mang also disappeared.

Two against one! Ye Guan's expression darkened. Damn it, these guys are shameless. In addition to bullying the weak, they're also ganging up on me!

Left with no choice, a powerful sword energy erupted from Ye Guan as a colossal sword that stretched over a kilometer manifested in his hands. He gripped the colossal sword tightly and swung it toward the oncoming Great Destiny Sovereigns.

Boom!

The colossal sword was made out of sword energy, but it seemed like it was made out of paper instead, as it shattered the moment it collided with the two Great Destiny Sovereigns.

Ye Guan had gotten dramatically stronger, but two Great Destiny Sovereigns were still too much for him to handle. To make matters worse, they were ancient Great Destiny Sovereigns born during the Eternal Civilization era.

Sovereign Xuan glared at Ye Guan and shouted, "Shatter his fleshly body first!"

With that, he transformed into a beam of spear light and rushed toward Ye Guan. The long spear pierced everything as it made a beeline for Ye Guan. Sovereign Mang had also made the same decision as he unleashed a powerful fist attack.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Ye Guan’s eyes. He was about to activate his bloodline when a dazzling sword light appeared from out of nowhere and struck the oncoming long spear.

Clang!

Sovereign Xuan was blasted away by the sword light, while Sovereign Mang immediately came to a halt and directed his gaze toward a woman not too far away from Ye Guan.

The Adjudication Sword Master!

Ye Guan looked at the Adjudication Sword Master with a face full of astonishment.

The Adjudication Sword Master stared coldly at him.

"Return to Guanxuan Universe!" she exclaimed.

Ye Guan asked, "Why?"

"Do you really have to ask that?" The Adjudication Sword Master snapped, "Hurry up and go back to your Guanxuan Universe!"

Ye Guan shook his head and said, "If I go back, you'll be outnumbered and overwhelmed!"

Rumble!

Ye Guan's words had just left his mouth when the spacetime behind him and the Adjudication Sword Master trembled violently. Moments later, two Great Destiny Sovereigns walked out of the spacetime rift.

The Adjudication Sword Master was annoyed. She glared fiercely at Ye Guan and shouted, "Perfect! Now you can't escape! Damn it, you infuriating man!"
