Chapter 625: Attack Together |
In the distance, Ye Guan stopped and gazed up into the depths of the sky, where three Gods—two males and one female—were looking back at him.
They were all dressed in exquisite robes, emitting terrifying auras that could destroy heaven and earth. Their auras even stirred up the starry sky, causing it to boil like water.
They had not even assumed their true forms.
The cultivators of the three major clans quickly knelt on the ground, their expressions filled with devotion and respect.
Everything they had right now had come from the Ancient Gods. Hence, deep awe surged from the bottom of their hearts.
In the sky above, the three Gods were still staring at Ye Guan with indifference. It was as if everything was nothing but ants to them.
Suddenly, one of the Gods on the left pointed downward. A divine light fell from the sky, tearing through everything in its path toward Ye Guan's head.
Ye Guan spread his arms, and a Sword Intent soared into the sky.
Boom!
At the same time, the God pressed down with his right hand, causing divine light to erupt.
Bang!
The attack sent Ye Guan's Sword Intent flying, but it did not shatter this time.
Even though the divine light was closing in on him, Ye Guan's expression remained unchanged.
Bang!
Ye Guan thrust his sword toward the incoming beam. The collision knocked back him tens of thousands of meters, yet it didn't destroy the divine light. Hence, Ye Guan held the sword in his right hand and fiercely rotated it with every last drop of strength he had.
Boom!
Finally, the divine light exploded into fragments.
Witnessing Ye Guan contend with the Gods filled Mo Tiandu and the others with disbelief.
Ye Guan looked at his assailant, the God in a flowy divine robe with a black lotus flower on its chest. The flower looked so vivid and lifelike that it almost seemed like a living creature.
In Ye Guan's mind, Mu Yuan said, "That's Mo'e, one of the former divine students. Be careful of the black lotus on his chest. It was created with countless calamities, earning it the name of Calamity Lotus. It's extremely powerful."
Ye Guan subtly nodded. He then walked toward the God calmly, his eyes showing not even a hint of awe or fear.
"Ant," Mo'e said emotionlessly. His eyes remained fixed on Ye Guan.
As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and a black divine light surged from his palm.
Hiss!
As the divine light beamed down, the entire starry sky turned illusory.
Despite only being a clone, his power was still far too much for the universe to withstand.
Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes and began imagining the divine light as the sealing power of the First God.
The First God's seal was undoubtedly stronger, but it had little killing intent since it was made mainly for suppression. The divine light before him aimed to kill him.
Instead of using sword techniques, Ye Guan took a step forward and opened his hand. A Sword Intent soared into the sky from his palm.
Boom!
The Sword Intent attempted to pierce into the divine light. However, it ended up cracking and falling back down instead, unable to withstand the power of the divine light.
Ye Guan unleashed another attack.
If one Sword Intent was not enough, then he just needed to summon another.
The second attack soared into the sky and cut through the divine light, instantly destroying it. Its dazzling and spectacular fragments scattered like fireworks in the deep space.
Mo'e narrowed his eyes, palpable killing intent filling them. He hadn't expected a mere mortal ant to break his divine light twice in a row. Although he was just a clone, ordinary mortals still should not hold a candle to him.
Enraged, he charged downward.
The other two Gods did not move, seemingly more dissatisfied than inclined to help. From their perspective, summoning three Gods to deal with a mere mortal ant demeaned them.
Mo'e cut through the air like a cannonball, instantly reaching Ye Guan. With countless black divine lights surging from his fist, he attempted to punch his opponent.
Mo'e's oppressive force made Ye Guan feel as if he was drowning—as if he were suffocating. Nevertheless, he drew his sword, causing a sword light to flash.
Boom!
Mo'e's punch blasted Ye Guan thousands of meters away and destroyed the surrounding space. Darkness engulfed their battlefield.
As soon as Ye Guan stopped, Mo'e transformed into a black divine light again and rushed toward him.
Ye Guan swung his sword again.
Boom!
Ye Guan was blasted back once more.
Repeatedly, he lost ground to Mo'e's attacks.
Although Ye Guan looked as if he could not fight back properly, the two Gods in the sky still frowned. After all, Mo'e could no longer shatter Ye Guan's Sword Intent.
The two Gods exchanged a glance, somewhat astonished by the level of refinement of Ye Guan's Sword Intent. It was so condensed and unbreakable because its swordsman's will and conviction in the way of the sword seemed strong and firm enough to keep it from yielding.
Such Sword Intent was extremely rare even in their era. Hence, they couldn't help but be surprised to see the young swordsman possessing it.
"That man is no ordinary being," the female God said.
The male God nodded, then looked at his descendants. "My descendants would not resort to the trump card I had left them unless absolutely necessary. They most definitely would not use it if two other clans were already using theirs."
"Do you want to know the reason? It won't be that difficult to figure out."
She glanced at one of her descendants below. When her gaze sharpened, countless pieces of information instantly appeared in her mind.
After a few breaths, the expressions of the Gods changed drastically. They looked at each other and simultaneously exclaimed, "Teacher's inheritance!"
The two were extremely shocked. They did not expect this young swordsman to have the inheritance of the First God, which they had fought so fiercely for back in their era. Their battles back then ended up tearing apart the temple, yet no one managed to obtain it.
The female God stared at Ye Guan, who was quite a distance away from her.
"All of Teacher's possessions should be in his hands," she said.
The male God's gaze suddenly became somewhat fervent. His heart stirred at the mention of the First God's treasures! The female God suddenly chuckled. "I didn't expect I'd find a huge opportunity to benefit from this."
The male God nodded. "Indeed."
Any previous unpleasantness between them disappeared. Finding the inheritance of the First God here was truly a huge surprise.
In the distance, Ye Guan remained completely suppressed yet tenacious. Mo'e's fist still couldn't shatter his Sword Intent. On the contrary, Ye Guan's Sword Intent was becoming stronger and stronger as it was bombarded with punches. His combat power was also increasing.
The female God's brows furrowed. "He's using Mo'e's power to temper his Sword Intent."
The male God stared at Ye Guan. "Shall we intervene?"
The female God shook her head. "Mo'e is proud and arrogant. If we intervene now, it will only anger him. Although the swordsman is growing stronger, dreaming of defeating Mo'e is nothing but a fool's errand."
The male God nodded slightly. As he focused on the battle, a deafening explosion erupted in the distance.
Boom!
Ye Guan was once again blasted into the distance.
By the time he had stopped, Mo'e was already closing in on him again to smash him with his fist.
Ye Guan's eyes closed as he tightly gripped the Sword Intent in his hand. When Mo'e reached him, Ye Guan thrust his sword forward and unleashed Space Overlap!
Millions of Sword Intents flew out from in front of him, converging into a single Sword Intent.
Boom!
Mo'e's divine light shattered, forcing the two combatants to widen the distance between them.
To everyone's surprise, Ye Guan had repelled a God's attack with a single sword strike. Although the Mo'e before them was just a projection, he was still a God! Such a feat should not have been possible!
Mo'e stopped and looked down, finding his body now a lot dimmer.
Somewhat shocked, he narrowed his eyes at Ye Guan. He didn't expect this ordinary, insignificant human being to possess a Sword Intent so refined that not even he could shatter it.
However, his shock was soon devoured by his anger. "How dare that mere human disrespect a God?"
Mo'e slowly balled his hands into fists. At the same time, the black lotus flower on his chest emitted black streams of light, then spread a terrifying aura across the battlefield. The elite cultivators of the four major clans turned pale and retreated from the scene.
Ye Guan stared at Mo'e fearlessly as he waved the Sword Intent in his hand with excitement. Even though he still had not utilized the powers of his bloodlines, he still found this battle much more stimulating than facing the sealing power of the First God.
Soon, Mo'e disappeared, and a fearsome black lotus flower zipped toward Ye Guan, causing the universe to melt.
Almost simultaneously, Ye Guan disappeared as well. Right after, the power of his three bloodlines covered the heavens and the earth.
Swish!
Everyone watched in horror as Ye Guan cut through the terrifying black lotus flower and then stabbed Mo'e in the forehead.
Mo'e was pushed back nearly ten thousand meters before finally stopping.
A deathly silence enveloped the battlefield.
Mo'e looked at Ye Guan in shock and disbelief. "You..."
Ye Guan swung his sword to the side, obliterating Mo'e.
Swish!
Afterward, he turned to the two other Gods. "Who's next?"
After a brief pause, he continued, "Well, I can just fight you both at the same time."
Everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
