Chapter 243: Whoever Utters My Name Shall Die!
Little Pagoda really had no idea what to say. You bastard! Stop taking me out whenever you’re in danger! I’m just a tiny pagoda, you dumbass!
Ye Guan hugged Little Pagoda while looking around warily. He seemed to have sensed something as he whipped around. A powerful explosion made the cave in the distance explode—no, the entire mountain exploded, sending debris all over the place.
Ye Guan’s expression changed. He could feel a terrifying aura from the cave.
“Hurry up and run!” the mysterious voice exclaimed, “A Great Sovereign was actually sealed here, and he’s about to break out of his seal!”
A Great Sovereign! Ye Guan was shocked. This place has been sealing a Great Sovereign?
Ba Wan turned and ran furiously toward the village.
Ye Guan saw innumerable pieces of debris falling like rain toward the village.
Ye Guan pulled Ba Wan away and said, “It’s dangerous! We have to go!”
Ba Wan didn’t even spare him a glance as she said, “I have to protect the village! My cows are there!”
Ba Wan shook Ye Guan off and appeared above the village.
She raised her hand and roared, “Plucking the Stars!”
Boom!
A giant hand, stretching a kilometer, manifested above the village and protected it from the debris. However, the enormous power of a Great Sovereign was too much for this tiny world to endure, and the world itself fractured along with Ba Wan’s giant hand.
Ye Guan was stunned. He transformed into a beam of sword light and appeared above the village. He waved his right hand, and the tiny pagoda hovered next to him. “Master Pagoda, I know that you’re fine. Hurry up and absorb the village.”
Little Pagoda didn’t say anything in response, but a golden light enveloped the village as he sucked the entire village into the world inside the pagoda.
Ye Guan turned to Ba Wan and said, “He’s too strong for us to handle. We have to run!”
With that, Ye Guan dragged Ba Wan away with him.
Tens of thousands of golden light rays blossomed from the fractures in the world. An entire world was currently disintegrating beneath the full extent of a Great Sovereign’s wrath, creating a terrifying sight.
Ye Guan’s expression was solemn as he dragged Ba Wan away, but his expression changed upon realizing that thousands of golden rays of light had surrounded them.
Ye Guan pulled Ba Wan behind him out of instinct, and he let out a low grunt as he unleashed the full extent of his energy. Unfortunately, his sword energy was too weak to contend against the golden rays of light.
Ye Guan and Ba Wan had no choice but to keep on retreating. Ye Guan’s fleshly body was starting to crumble from the intense pressure and the exertion.
Ba Wan froze and stopped running upon seeing Ye Guan’s body disintegrate into nothingness whenever a golden ray of light struck him. Ba Wan abruptly dragged Ye Guan behind her before she pushed both of her palms outward with all her might.
Rumble!
A powerful energy burst out of her palms. The world itself quivered, but Ba Wan’s power was too weak compared to the golden rays of light.
Bam!
Ba Wan and Ye Guan were sent flying away, and the two of them crashed harshly to the ground. Ye Guan frowned in pain. He felt like all his bones had fractured from the impact just now.
Ba Wan was in his arms, but shockingly, she was unscathed. Actually, not even her clothes sustained any damage.
What was going on?
Ba Wan struggled out of Ye Guan’s arms and looked at the latter.
“Are… you okay?” she asked.
Ye Guan chuckled bitterly and said, “I won’t die from this.”
Ba Wan went quiet.
Ye Guan took out a spiritual pill and swallowed it.
He looked around and saw that the debris was gone, but there was a middle-aged man not too far away from them.
The middle-aged man was really tall. He seemed to be about 2.4 meters tall and was wearing a huge long robe. His long hair draped over his shoulders. Talismans were all over him, and they slowly fell off of him.
The middle-aged man was someone who had been bestowed the Great Sovereign title.
Ye Guan’s expression was grim as he stared at the middle-aged man. Those with a Great Sovereign title weren’t necessarily as strong as Divine Sovereigns, but they were still elite cultivators in their own right. In fact, any Great Sovereign out there would be a top cultivator in the True Universe, not to mention in the All Worlds.
Ye Guan was curious. Who sealed him here? Was it the True God?
The Great Sovereign’s gaze seemed nonchalant as he stared at both Ye Guan and Ba Wan, but his gaze seemed capable of seeing through anything. His gaze also seemed like it contained the might of a world as the spacetime around Ye Guan and Ba Wan shattered at once.
Ba Wan quickly pulled Ye Guan behind her and punched out with her right fist.
Unfortunately, her opponent was a Great Sovereign.
Bam!
Ye Guan and Ba Wan were sent flying. When they landed, blood spurted like an arrow out of Ba Wan’s mouth. Ye Guan also felt as if every bone in his body had been crushed. He was in excruciating pain.
Ba Wan abruptly jumped up. She dragged Ye Guan away somewhere.
Ye Guan was shocked.
“Ba Wan, what are you doing?” he asked.
Ba Wan dragged Ye Guan behind a giant boulder, and she peeked out of the boulder to stare at the Great Sovereign. She clenched her fists and was about to make a move when Ye Guan grabbed her and said, “We can’t defeat him.”
Ba Wan was extremely powerful, but there was no way she could defeat a Great Sovereign.
Ba Wan looked at Ye Guan and said, “I’m not afraid.”
Ye Guan was stunned. “Let’s be reasonable here.”
With that, he stood up and pulled Ba Wan behind him. Ba Wan was really fierce, and he was afraid that she would make things worse for them.
Ba Wan quietly allowed Ye Guan to pull her behind him.
Ye Guan looked up at the middle-aged man in the sky.
The middle-aged man met Ye Guan’s gaze and reappeared in front of the both of them.
Ye Guan sounded neither arrogant nor subservient as he said, “Senior, we were just passing by. We have no ill intent toward you.”
The middle-aged man looked at him with a hint of surprise.
“Peak Great Sword Sovereign and a Martial God...” he muttered.
Ye Guan nodded. He wasn’t surprised that the middle-aged man saw through him.
His Master Pagoda wasn’t hiding his aura at the moment, after all.
The middle-aged man suddenly asked, “Was that a pagoda?”
Ye Guan nodded and said, “It was a pagoda, and it was my Master Pagoda.”
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Guan and asked, “Can I take a look?”
The middle-aged man didn’t even wait for Ye Guan’s response. An immense power enveloped Ye Guan and Ba Wan. Afterward, the tiny pagoda was forcefully ripped out of Ye Guan.
Ye Guan quietly stared at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at the pagoda and nodded with bright eyes. “This is amazing. There’s a huge time difference between the time in this pagoda and the time in the outside world.”
The middle-aged man stared at Ye Guan and said, “I want this pagoda. What do you say?”
So he wants to steal my pagoda? Ye Guan froze. He didn’t expect that such a powerful supreme elite would snatch his tiny pagoda. He was truly astonished.
“I’ll take your silence as yes,” said the middle-aged man.
Ye Guan smiled. “If you wish to take it, sir, then feel free to take it away.”
His Master Pagoda hadn’t protested, so he wouldn’t protest as well.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and turned around to leave.
However, he seemed to have thought of something as he stopped and turned around.
“I’m still worried.” He stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, “You’re a peak Great Sword Sovereign and a Martial God at the same time. You’re seriously talented. I don’t want to bring trouble to my clan, so I’ve decided to kill you.”
Ye Guan looked at the middle-aged man and said, “You’re more than ten realms higher than me.”
The middle-aged man smiled and replied, “So what.”
Ye Guan explained, “My mother said that I’d have to fight opponents within ten realms above my current cultivation realm myself, but she said that my aunt would help me against opponents more than ten realms higher than me.”
Little Pagoda was shocked. Your aunt? Wasn’t it your parents? When did it change?
“Pfft!” The middle-aged man chuckled and said, “I was already peerless and invincible when I was thirty. I defeated every talent from everywhere aside from the talents of the True Universe, so do you really think that your aunt can beat me, young man?”
Ye Guan stared deeply at the middle-aged man and calmly said, “You’ve been bestowed upon the Great Sovereign title, so don’t you think you’re going overboard by bullying someone like me with neither family background nor backup?”
The middle-aged man smiled and asked back, “So what if I want to bully you?”
The middle-aged man had already reached the peak, so he rarely bothered with mere ants. However, he found it pretty fun to bully ants occasionally. It felt nice to see the helplessness and despair of those weaker than him
Ye Guan stared at the middle-aged man and said, “My aunt is very good at fighting.”
The middle-aged man’s curiosity was piqued.
He chuckled before asking, “She’s very good at fighting?”
“That’s right.” Ye Guan nodded and said seriously, “My aunt is invincible, and she has never used more than one sword move to kill her opponents.”
The middle-aged man smiled in amusement and asked, “What’s her name?”
Ye Guan looked straight at him and replied, “Plain-Skirt Destiny.”
“Plain-Skirt Destiny?” The middle-aged man frowned. He pondered over the name briefly before smiling. “I’ve never heard of that name before. She’s probably just a bigger ant somewhere—”
Buzz!
The world quivered as a spacetime rift manifested above the middle-aged man.
A powerful sword energy exited the rift.
The middle-aged man’s expression changed as he looked up. He clenched his fist and sent a punch against the oncoming sword energy. He had moved in a hurry just now, but his fist still contained enough power to destabilize the world.
Boom!
The middle-aged man’s fist exploded into a bloody mist, and the sword energy bored a hole in his fist and struck his head, pinning him to the ground.
Ye Guan’s eyelids twitched. He felt overwhelmed. Just how powerful is my aunt? I feel like it’s impossible to deduce her true strength!
He was a bit doubtful earlier, but now, he was thoroughly convinced. His aunt had just killed someone who had been bestowed the Great Sovereign title. In other words, Plain-Skirt Destiny had just killed someone on the same level as the Unyielding Sovereign.
Ye Guan couldn’t help but feel that Great Sovereigns were too weak, and they truly weren’t at the apex. However, he also found the turn of events a bit too surreal. How come that the opponents his aunt had to face so far were like mere ants before her?
Ye Guan was stupefied when his train of thought reached that point.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man’s pupils had shrunk to the size of needles out of fear and disbelief.
“How can this be… this is impossible…” he muttered.
Ye Guan sounded serious as he said, “I also think that it’s a bit absurd.”
The Great Sovereign’s expression froze, and he went silent.
Ba Wan tugged on Ye Guan’s sleeve and asked seriously, “Is he stuck right now?”
Ye Guan nodded.
Suddenly, Ba Wan dashed out and punched at the Great Sovereign.
Boom!
Ba Wan was sent flying away.
Ye Guan’s expression stiffened as he rushed to help her up.
Ba Wan looked down at her hand and exclaimed, sounding aggrieved, “It hurts!”
Ye Guan’s face darkened as he stared at Ba Wan. He gave her a spiritual pill to consume before looking at the Great Sovereign. At this moment, the Great Sovereign was like a lost ghost as he kept on muttering, “Impossible… this is impossible…”
The middle-aged man felt like the world was collapsing around him.
He was a Great Sovereign! Aside from the supreme elites of the True Universe, no one was worthy of becoming his opponent. However, someone a vast distance away had actually killed his fleshly body and even pinned his soul down using just a wave of sword energy.
The middle-aged man couldn’t quite accept it, and he hollered, “Who are you?!”
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Senior, what’s the name of your clan?”
Little Pagoda shook his head with a smile. It seemed Ye Guan wanted to uproot the trouble from its roots and make sure that he wouldn’t have any issues later down the road.
The Great Sovereign looked extremely wary of Ye Guan.
“What are you going to do with that information?” he asked.
Ye Guan hesitated before saying, “I’m going to ask them to come here and collect your corpse.”
The Great Sovereign glared at him.
Ye Guan hurriedly said, “Really, that’s it. I’m not going to annihilate your entire clan…”
The Great Sovereign sounded solemn as he said, “Young man, I failed to recognize just how powerful you are. It is my fault, and I admit it, so can we just leave things here and let bygones be bygones?”
It turned out that there was a reason the middle-aged man earned his title.
He knew when to advance and retreat.
However, Ye Guan shook his head. “No, I can’t.”
Boom!
The sword energy within the Great Sovereign spurred into action, and the Great Sovereign’s soul was annihilated.
Ye Guan was silent. His aunt had just killed a supreme elite right in front of his eyes.
The Great Sovereign looked absolutely stupefied, and he perished without being able to resolve his unfinished business. Ye Guan’s aunt had killed him as if he were an insect.
Just how powerful was his aunt?
Ye Guan stared at the starry skies in a daze.
A woman wearing a blood-red skirt was somewhere in the vast expanse, and there wasn’t a single hint of emotion in her eyes.
Whoever utters my name shall die unless they're my relatives!
