BXBX NOVEL Chapter 335: Someone Has Asserted That They’re Invincible
They were twelve Great Destiny Sovereigns!
The twelve Great Destiny Sovereigns walked up to the Eternal Sovereign. They then knelt down one by one, looking incredibly excited as they exclaimed, "Greetings, First Sovereign!"
Boom!
It seemed that the spectacle wasn\'t over just yet as hundreds of pillars of light suddenly soared into the sky. Everything between heaven and earth seemed paltry in comparison to the combined power of the one hundred pillars of light.
The light soon dissipated, revealing the figures of a hundred cultivators.
Incredibly, they were all Great Time Sovereigns!
Just like the Great Destiny Sovereigns, they all knelt down in front of the Eternal Sovereign and shouted, “Greetings, First Sovereign!”
Rumble!
The voices of the Great Time Sovereigns had yet to finish echoing when a towering aura swept past everyone like a deluge. Soon, a group of over ten thousand cultivators wearing armor that resembled flames emerged from the ground.
Each and every single one of them was a Divine Sovereign!
A terrifying pressure bored down on everyone, and the world itself seemed to tremble incessantly before their presence. Low rumbling could still be heard underground; clearly, there were still quite a few cultivators waiting for their turn to awaken.
A tempestuous cloud of horrifying aura loomed over everyone.
The Eternal Army was here! The Eternal Army that had once made the vast expanse tremble had reappeared, signaling the revival of the Eternal Civilization that had once dominated an era!
Left Councilor Feng Qi furrowed her brows. Her expression turned grim, and she sounded serious as she said, "It turns out that the Great Daoist Brush Master had actually suppressed them rather than killing them outright!"
Left Councilor Feng Qi was genuinely surprised. She was convinced that these people had died long ago, but it turned out that they were just being suppressed all this while.
Why? What was the Great Daoist Brush Master up to?
Martial Chancellor Wu Qi asked in a low voice, "Do we fight or retreat? If we choose to fight, I\'ll mobilize the entirety of our armed forces and tell them to come here."
The Eternal Civilization had many powerhouses, and there were quite a few Great Destiny Sovereigns among them. However, the True Universe wasn\'t afraid of them.
Left Councilor Feng Qi glanced at Ye Guan and said, "We\'re not going to fight."
Martial Chancellor Wu Qi turned to look at Ye Guan and understood the reasoning behind Left Councilor Feng Qi\'s decision. If the True Universe were to wage war against the Eternal Army, the True Universe would gain nothing, while the Guanxuan Universe would reap the most profits!
The Eternal Civilization was a huge threat, but they were as threatening as the Guanxuan Universe in the True Universe\'s eyes.
Having made up her mind, Left Councilor Feng Qi shouted, "Retreat!"
Retreat!
The cultivators of the True Universe turned around and retreated.
Ye Guan stared at the Eternal Sovereign in the distant sky with his brows slightly furrowed. The tiny pagoda was still in the Eternal Sovereign\'s eyes. Just then, a blurry figure swept past him—the Adjudication Sword Master!
Ye Guan wanted to speak, but the Adjudication Sword Master grabbed his shoulder, and they vanished into thin air. Soon, the cultivators of the True Universe were no longer in the Eternal Secret Realm.
A cultivator next to the Eternal Sovereign muttered, "Master, the divine spiritual treasure on his person can heal your injuries…"
The Eternal Sovereign chuckled and said, "Don\'t worry. He won\'t escape."
He looked down and saw powerhouses being awakened one after another in the depths of the earth. Soon, the Eternal Sovereign revealed the barest hint of a smile. The Great Daoist Brush Master was no more, so who could stand against him in this era?
Without the Great Daoist Brush Master… the Eternal Sovereign broke out into a grin and declared, "I am invincible!"
"Hmm?" A faint sound suddenly echoed from the seemingly endless vast expanse. The Eternal Sovereign frowned and stared into the depths of the vast expanse. Who could it be?
The Unfettered Swordsman came to a halt. He wanted to turn around, but the blue-robed man next to him stopped him by asking, "What\'s wrong?"
The Unfettered Swordsman replied, "Someone has asserted that they\'re invincible."
The blue-robed man chuckled and said, “It\'s probably just a random riff raff on the street. Don\'t worry about insignificant bastards. We have important things to do to worry about anyone asserting that they\'re invincible.”
With that, the blue-robed man turned into a ray of sword light that vanished into the distant starry sky.
The Unfettered Swordsman pondered briefly over it before nodding and disappearing into the distance as a ray of sword light. He had heard quite a few people asserting that they were invincible, but the majority of them were just pretentious bastards, leaving the Unfettered Swordsman extremely disappointed.
The one who had just asserted their invincibility this time was most likely just another pretentious bastard. The Unfettered Swordsman knew better than to waste his time on arrogant, pretentious bastards.
…
Ye Guan and the Adjudication Sword Master appeared in one of the True Universe\'s halls. Ye Guan\'s gaze was calm as he stared at the Adjudication Sword Master right in front of him. He hadn\'t resisted because it would have been useless, anyway.
The Adjudication Sword Master walked up to him and said, "I saved you to kill you with my own hands, do you understand?"
Ye Guan nodded. "I understand."
The Adjudication Sword Master frowned and asked, "What\'s with that expression? Do you really think that I won\'t dare to kill you?"
She grabbed Ye Guan’s throat with her right hand.
"With a gentle squeeze, your head will go flying," she threatened.
Ye Guan was quiet in the face of her threat.
The Adjudication Sword Master became somewhat annoyed by his gaze.
"What\'s up with that look?" she asked irritably.
Ye Guan asked, "Were you expecting me to plead for mercy?"
The Adjudication Sword Master asked, "Are you even going to plead for mercy?"
Ye Guan shook his head. Pleading for mercy was useless, as he knew that the Adjudication Sword Master wouldn\'t possibly spare his life if she truly wanted to kill him.
The Adjudication Sword Master glared at him for a while before smiling. “Don’t worry, I won\'t let you die an easy death. I\'ll make you suffer… I\'ll make you suffer to the extent that you\'d wish you were dead! I\'m going to take my time tormenting you."
Ye Guan frowned as he replied, “Miss Adjudication Sword Master, I know that you don\'t like me because of my relationship with Ba Wan, but my relationship with Ba Wan is our affair. Aren’t you being a bit too nosy?”
The Adjudication Sword Master\'s glare turned fierce, but she didn\'t say anything in response.
Ye Guan continued. “Something isn\'t right. I can feel that you\'re holding a grudge against me, but I don\'t think we\'ve interacted many times before this ordeal. Why do you hate me so much that even my death will not soothe your anger?"
Thwack!
The Adjudication Sword Master punched Ye Guan\'s stomach, sending him flying into the distance. The Adjudication Sword Master chased after Ye Guan and gave him a few knuckle sandwiches and kicks in mid-air.
Her fine control over her strength allowed her to inflict excruciating pain without actual damage.
The Adjudication Sword Master continued to beat Ye Guan for an entire fifteen minutes before stopping.
Fifteen minutes later, Ye Guan was sprawled out on the floor, unable to move even a single muscle—no, he felt like all his bones had become mush from the beating.
The Adjudication Sword Master glared coldly at Ye Guan and sneered. She let out a sigh before turning around to leave.
Just then, a lady walked up to her—the mysterious lady!
The Adjudication Sword Master\'s expression remained indifferent.
“Are you here to save your good old friend?”
The mysterious lady frowned and asked, “Cijing, did you eat the wrong medicine today?”
The Adjudication Sword Master retorted, “Cirou, did you sleep with him?”
“You!” Cirou was furious. She glared at the Adjudication Sword Master and said, “It seems that you\'ve read too many of those books that Big Sister brought with her. Your glib tongue doesn\'t make sense otherwise.”
The Adjudication Sword Master snorted twice before leaving.
Cirou was furious, and her chest heaved up and down as she stared at the Adjudication Sword Master\'s departing figure.
Eventually, Cirou took deep breaths to calm herself down. She then slowly walked up to Ye Guan and leaned over to help Ye Guan up before placing a spiritual pill into his mouth.
Ye Guan instantly felt much better.
Ye Guan looked at Cirou.
Cirou was wearing a light yellow skirt, and her hair was pulled up into a bun by a purple ribbon. Her eyes were as clear as water, and her skin was as white as snow. She was looking down at Ye Guan with a light smile.
Cirou asked, “Are you feeling better?”
Ye Guan chuckled and exclaimed, “Senior!”
"Call me Cirou," said Cirou before grabbing his hand. “Let’s go!”
"Are we going back to the Guanxuan Universe?" Ye Guan asked
Cirou blinked and said, “No.”
Ye Guan went silent.
"You\'re going to prison." Cirou smiled and explained, “You\'re our prisoner right now.”
Our prisoner? Ye Guan let go of Cirou’s hand. He suddenly remembered that the mysterious lady was a Divine Spirit. Cirou grabbed Ye Guan\'s hand once again and smiled before saying, “I\'m from the True Universe, but I\'ve never hurt you, haven\'t I?”
Ye Guan nodded without saying anything.
“They\'re having a meeting right now. Let’s go inside and listen,” Cirou said.
Ye Guan hesitated before asking, “Is that appropriate?”
Cirou rolled her eyes at him and asked, “What’s not appropriate with it? In my heart, you\'re one of us!”
Cirou dragged Ye Guan without waiting for the latter\'s reply.
Cirou brought Ye Guan to the True God Hall. There were dozens of figures gathered in the True God Hall. Standing at the helm of the group were Left Councilor Feng Qi and Martial Chancellor Wu Qi, while Yuan Zhen and Yuan Hao stood next to them.
Two rows of True Universe cultivators were sitting behind them, and they were the upper echelons of the True Universe. Of course, the Adjudication Sword Master was here.
All eyes landed on Ye Guan the moment he walked into the True God Hall.
The Adjudication Sword Master frowned.
Cirou smiled and said, “There won\'t be any issues if we join, right?”
The cultivators wore strange looks. They knew Ye Guan, and they knew him as the True Universe’s enemy.
Cirou repeated, “It\'s okay, right?”
No one said anything; they all looked at Left Councilor Feng Qi.
Left Councilor Feng Qi smiled and said, “It\'s fine. Men, bring chairs for Young Master Ye and Cirou.”
The chairs were soon brought over. Ye Guan felt uncomfortable as he sat in the middle of the hall. His expression looked like he had been surrounded by beasts and was in great peril.
Left Councilor Feng Qi chuckled upon seeing Ye Guan\'s expression before saying, "Let’s continue."
An old man spoke, “According to the latest news, the Eternal Sovereign has twelve Great Destiny Sovereigns, hundreds of Great Time Sovereigns, and thousands of Ordinary Great Sovereigns. He also has tens of thousands of Divine Sovereigns.
"In addition, he also has over ten Ancient Great Imperial Sorcerers who were alive during the Eternal Civilization\'s era. No one knows the extent of their power, and they\'re all individuals shrouded in mystery.”
The old man took a moment to clear his throat before continuing. “He is heading to the Eternal World, and he has been awakening the cultivators of the Eternal Civilization whom the Great Daoist Brush Master had suppressed.
"He\'s also recruiting people from the Chaotic Star World. Other than Sovereign Xue, everyone else had already submitted to him."
Left Councilor Feng Qi frowned.
"There\'s one more thing," the old man added and said, “The destruction of the Heaven Seizing Universe destroyed the Heaven Seizing Boundary, and according to our sources, there\'s a special world beyond the broken boundary. It\'s called Xuane World, and a powerful clan known as the Zhantai Clan reigns over that world."
Left Councilor Feng Qi suddenly asked, “Where is Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao?”
The old man shook his head, “He\'s nowhere to be found. According to our guesses, he must be trying to recover his prowess. He has already gone through ten reincarnation cycles, so he\'s going to become invincible once he has recovered the prowess of all of his ten reincarnations!"
Martial Chancellor Wu Qi thought about it before asking, “What is the Zhantai Clan planning on doing?”
The old man responded, “They\'re ambitious.”
Martial Chancellor Wu Qi frowned at that remark.
The old man continued. “The Eternal Civilization, the Zhantai Clan, and Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao are a threat to us indeed, but neither of them is as big of a threat as the Guanxuan Universe."
All eyes landed on Ye Guan.
Ye Guan calmly said, “Our universe also thinks that the True Universe is the biggest threat.”
Left Councilor Feng Qi smiled and said, “Young Master Ye, I really want to hear your opinion.”
Ye Guan replied blandly, “I don’t have anything to say.”
Left Councilor Feng Qi frowned.
Cirou tugged at Ye Guan’s hand and said, “I know you want to say something, so just say it!”
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
The Adjudication Sword Master sneered at Cirou.
Ye Guan pondered briefly before saying, “From now on, our Guanxuan Universe will not do anything. The Eternal Civilization will definitely target the True Universe before anyone else. Their goal is to conquer the vast expanse, so the True Universe will be their first target.
Left Councilor Feng Qi smiled and asked, “How can you be sure that they will not attack the Guanxuan Universe first? If I were him, I would target the weaker universes first before consolidating my forces to attack the strongest one.”
Ye Guan stared at Left Councilor Feng Qi before saying, “The Eternal Sovereign considered himself invincible, and he looks down on us equally. Such an arrogant cultivator will definitely attack the most powerful force first before the weaker ones."
Left Councilor Feng Qi was silent.
"Pardon me for asking, but…" Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Can\'t the True God just make a move?”
The True Universe cultivators in the True God Hall frowned at the same time the moment Ye Guan\'s question echoed throughout the hall.
