Chapter 204: Unparalleled Martial Goddess
Where was the lurker in the shadows to help them? Ye Guan’s ears were buzzing, and he felt light-headed. Why are you so calm when there’s no powerful lurker ready to help us at any time?
Everyone’s expressions changed the moment they saw the old hunchback’s move.
A Divine Sovereign wasn’t an opponent they could handle, even if they vastly outnumbered the former. Quantity didn’t matter to someone with absolute strength.
Chen Guanzi’s eyes narrowed, and a command token appeared in his hand. The old hunchback was too strong for him to handle, so he was left with no choice but to summon the Sword Sect’s ancestor.
Rip!
A tearing noise abruptly echoed as the space in front of Ye Guan was torn open. A white-robed woman walked out of the rift. Her demeanor was cold, and her hair was in a high ponytail, while a spear was in her left hand.
She didn’t beat around the bush as she sent her spear hurtling toward the saber light.
Boom!
The saber light shattered upon impact, astounding everyone.
However, most of everyone here wasn’t familiar with the white-robed woman.
Ye Guan didn’t know the white-robed woman, so he inwardly asked, “Master Pagoda, do you know her?”
“Yes,” Little Pagoda replied.
Ye Guan shook his head and smiled to himself. He had to admit that Master Pagoda was pretty cool. It seemed that Master Pagoda knew the identity of just about any top cultivator out there. It was clear that it had been a long time since he started working for the family.
Li Banzhi heaved a sigh of relief. You’re finally here!
The white-robed woman was none other than An Nanjing!
A first-generation Martial Goddess!
Li Banzhi didn’t know much about An Nanjing because they were born in a different generation, but she knew that An Nanjing was from the same generation as Sword Master Qingshan and that she was an unparalleled Martial Goddess.
Li Banzhi hadn’t summoned An Nanjing. The Nether Palace had summoned the latter here. The Nether Palace started summoning their elites upon seeing that the True World was willing to go to any lengths just to achieve their goal.
Old Yu immediately frowned, and his expression turned heavy. The young woman next to Old Yu sized up An Nanjing and smiled before asking, “Can you handle two Divine Sovereigns?”
An Nanjing stared at her expressionlessly and said, “You can summon ten more Divine Sovereigns here.”
Ten more Divine Sovereigns?! Everyone was stunned. Really? Can you really handle twelve Divine Sovereigns?
The young woman chuckled and said, “How bold! Old Yu, Old Jun, kill her!”
The two Divine Sovereigns made a beeline for An Nanjing at the same time.
An Nanjing’s gaze turned cold, and she swung her spear.
Boom!
The two Divine Sovereigns flew at least a hundred kilometers away.
The onlookers were stupefied. Are they really Divine Sovereigns?
Ye Guan was shocked, and he was once again made aware of his own weakness. So this is the power of a top cultivator. I can split a mountain in half, but I’m just an ant in front of the top cultivators! What about splitting the heavens? Nah, it sounds too conservative. Let’s aim higher. I want to split a whole universe apart!
The onlookers were thrilled after they emerged from their reverie.
The Guanxuan Universe actually still had such terrifying cultivators.
The young woman was no longer smiling. She stared at An Nanjing silently for a few seconds before saying, “That was impressive indeed!”
An Nanjing looked at her and said, “I was serious. Summon ten more Divine Sovereigns.”
Everyone didn’t know what to say.
The young woman smiled and said, “As you wish.”
She opened her palm, and a pillar of golden light rushed toward the starry skies.
The pillar of golden light reached the depths of the starry skies in the blink of an eye, and an inscrutable humming soon echoed from the pillar of golden light.
Ye Guan’s eyes landed on the young woman’s storage ring.
Little Pagoda suddenly said, “We have to talk.”
Ye Guan asked curiously, “Talk about what?”
Little Pagoda sounded serious as he said, “Don’t speak nonsense once you start talking to that spear-wielding senior later, do you understand what I’m saying?”
Little Pagoda was truly afraid. If this bastard were to spout bullshit in front of An Nanjing, Little Pagoda was afraid that he wouldn’t live to see another day. After all, even that demonic beast Erya had to be careful of her words around An Nanjing.
Ye Guan blinked. He feigned innocence as he asked, “Why would I spout nonsense, Master Pagoda?”
Little Pagoda, “I’ll reward you if you behave.”
Ye Guan immediately said, “Don’t worry, Master Pagoda. I will not speak nonsense.”
He glanced deeply at An Nanjing. Master Pagoda was obviously afraid of her.
Just then, innumerable mysterious golden runes emerged from the pillar of golden light. There was an obscure and inscrutable droning noise coming from the runes, and everyone’s faces changed upon hearing the droning noise.
They felt their souls dissipate slowly but surely beneath the noise.
An You’s face darkened, and he exclaimed, “Oh no, that’s one of the Ten Great True Arts of the True World—Soul-Purging Art!”
Soul-Purging Art?
Everyone was astonished. It was their first time hearing of such a True Art.
An You explained, “It is said that the Soul-Purging Art is capable of purging an entire universe, which was what the True World did thirty million years ago. Back then, the Sword Master only managed to break the Art using his World Sword Aura…”
An You made a sidelong glance at the young woman before continuing. “Her origins must be extraordinary, as she can actually unleash the Soul-Purging Art.”
Meanwhile, An Nanjing seemed unperturbed as she took one step forward and rushed out with her spear at breakneck speeds. An Nanjing’s spear tore a huge chunk of the starry skies to oblivion along with the obscure and inscrutable droning noise.
An Nanjing soon arrived in front of the pillar of golden light, but a huge illusory face emerged from the golden light. A golden finger seemingly a kilometer in size pointed at her.
An Nanjing looked like an ant in front of the massive golden finger, but…
Boom!
The golden finger shattered after just a thrust of her spear.
Rumble!
The pillar of golden light trembled violently before exploding into innumerable golden fragments.
With that, An Nanjing turned to look at the young woman.
The young woman’s face turned pale. She’s so strong! Where did she come from, and how come the Guanxuan Universe has so many powerful top cultivators behind the scenes?
The young woman turned to look at Ye Guan and asked, “How are these top cultivators related to you?”
Ye Guan thought briefly before replying, “They’re family.”
The young woman frowned and pointed out. “Aren’t the Sword Master and the top cultivators around him your family? Just who are they? They were absent during the great war many years ago.”
Ye Guan said, “They’re my grandfather’s friends.”
Grandfather! Everyone froze at where they stood and went silent.
The young woman stared at Ye Guan.
She seemed impressed as she said, “That’s pretty cool.”
Ye Guan walked up to An Nanjing and asked, “Senior, can you kill her?”
Ye Guan’s intuition told him that the young woman was extraordinary and that they would profit greatly if they managed to end her life here. Moreover, the young woman definitely had a ton of treasures in her storage ring.
An Nanjing examined Ye Guan from top to bottom. The cold glint in her eyes softened as she said, “You’re indeed a wonderful kid.”
After a few moments of hesitation, Ye Guan asked, “Senior, do you know my Master Pagoda?”
Little Pagoda was speechless.
An Nanjing replied, “Yes.”
Little Pagoda hurriedly spoke, “I’ll definitely reward you if you behave!”
Ye Guan smiled lightly and said, “Master Pagoda told me that my grandfather is an amazing person, is that true?”
Little Pagoda heaved a sigh of relief.
An Nanjing nodded and said, “It’s true.”
Ye Guan smiled. He made a sidelong glance at the young woman and frowned upon seeing that she still hadn’t escaped. It was clear that the young woman was undeterred by An Nanjing’s strength, and she still hadn’t given up on killing him.
An Nanjing turned to look at the young woman as well. Without saying anything, she suddenly took one step forward. The expressions of the two Divine Sovereigns in the distance changed, and they frantically charged at An Nanjing.
Boom, boom!
A rumbling noise echoed throughout the starry skies as the desperate Divine Sovereigns spared not a quarter, creating a terrifying cataclysmic scene.
An Nanjing hurled her spear at the oncoming Divine Sovereigns.
Boom!
The two Divine Sovereigns went out flying, and An Nanjing made a beeline for the young woman. She had the same thought as Ye Guan earlier. The young woman had to die here!
However, the young woman’s figure suddenly became illusory.
Schwing!
The young woman’s illusory figure was shattered.
An Nanjing frowned.
She turned and found the young woman a kilometer away from her.
The young woman stared deeply at An Nanjing before opening her palms.
A pillar of golden light shot toward the sky.
Boom!
The pillar of light transformed into a giant mirror, and the giant mirror reflected An Nanjing’s figure. However, the An Nanjing inside the mirror was wearing a black robe rather than a white robe.
The black-robed An Nanjing slowly walked out of the mirror, and a terrifying undulation surged out of her, which sent shockwaves throughout the starry skies.
Ye Guan frowned at the sight. What bizarre skill is that?
Ye Guan looked at An You in hopes of an explanation, but An You looked as puzzled as Ye Guan.
An Nanjing gazed at the mirror up above before turning to look at the black-robed An Nanjing.
Swoosh!
An Nanjing suddenly disappeared.
A beat later, the black-robed An Nanjing also vanished.
Boom!
Two terrifying spear lights erupted in the distance. Meanwhile, the two Divine Sovereigns next to the young woman vanished into thin air. However, their target wasn’t An Nanjing—it was Ye Guan!
The young woman had summoned the black-robed An Nanjing as a distraction.
Her target was still Ye Guan.
Ye Guan’s pupils constricted.
The young woman still hadn’t given up on taking his head!
An Nanjing sent the black-robed An Nanjing flying with her spear and made a beeline for the young woman. An Nanjing realized that she didn’t have enough time to save Ye Guan, so rather than doing that, she decided that it was better to exchange a life for a life!
The young woman frowned deeply. She truly didn’t expect that An Nanjing would come after her—no, she wasn’t the only one caught off guard. Ye Guan, the two Divine Sovereigns, and the onlookers were also taken aback.
Is this really going to end in mutual destruction?
Everyone’s heart leaped to their throats.
