I Have a Sword

Ye Guan brought Cirou and Cishu to the Tribulation World, and a horrifying pressure immediately bored down on Ye Guan as soon as he appeared in the Tribulation World.

The pressure was coming from the Universe Tribulation!

Ye Guan closed his eyes to try and get a better sense of it, and he found that it had become much stronger than before. It seemed to be getting stronger every day!

Cishu and Cirou's expressions turned grim. They had yet to enter the deepest region of the Tribulation World, but they were already finding it hard to breathe beneath the pressure.

Ye Guan waved his sleeve, and a surge of sword intent swept out, dispersing the pressure.

Cirou's expression was complex as she stared at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan's strength was already at a level that she couldn't perceive. He was growing powerful at a terrifying and inconceivable rate!

Cishu was shocked as well; she clearly didn't expect that Ye Guan's strength had already reached such a level.

"Let's go," Ye Guan said.

Soon, they saw a region filled with terrifying blood-red lightning bolts.

Ye Guan swept his gaze across the region and uttered, "Evil Dao, come out."

Boom!

A blood-red lightning bolt suddenly burst out of the lightning region, heading straight for Ye Guan and the two women.

Ye Guan pulled them behind him and stepped forward before swinging his sword.

Boom!

The blood-red lightning bolt froze in midair.

Swoosh!

A blood-red shadowy figure streaked across the lightning region.

Boom!

Ye Guan's sword light shattered, and he was blasted thousands of meters away.

When Ye Guan stabilized himself, he quickly looked up and saw a woman clad in a blood-red dress made out of lightning. The woman was exuding a terrifying lightning aura.

She was none other than the Evil Dao.

The Evil Dao stared coldly at Ye Guan and taunted, "Do you really think that you've become stronger?"

"Heh," Ye Guan said, chuckling softly. "Let's try it again."

He stepped forward, and an overwhelming force enveloped the Evil Dao.

Sword Domain!

A myriad of sword lights manifested as soon as the Invincible Sword Domain appeared.

The Evil Dao sneered and waved her sleeve, unleashing a wave of blood-red lightning arcs.

The sword lights were shattered, and Ye Guan's Invincible Sword Domain was destroyed.

To make matters worse, the blood-red lightning arcs were still alive, and they chased after Ye Guan like a pack of hounds, forcing him to retreat nonstop.

Cishu and Cijing's expressions changed at the sight.

The Evil Dao didn't send another wave of attacks and merely glared coldly at Ye Guan, whose face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

"Did you really think that I'm an easy target?" asked the Evil Dao.

Ye Guan wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth and smiled. "It seems that the gap between us is no longer that massive."

Ye Guan's secondary objective was to gauge the gap in strength between him and the Evil Dao.

Back then, he couldn't even make a move against her, but now, the Evil Dao could no longer defeat him instantly.

In addition, Ye Guan had yet to use his full strength.

The Evil Dao's eyes narrowed at Ye Guan's remark. She opened her palm, and a clump of blood-red lightning arcs appeared in her hand.

She raised her arm and swung it fiercely toward Ye Guan, sending the clump of blood-red lightning arcs toward the latter.

The clump of blood-red lightning arcs transformed into a streak of light that made a beeline for Ye Guan. It was so powerful that the Tribulation World seemed to tremble beneath its immense power.

However, Ye Guan was undeterred. He stepped forward and thrust his sword forward.

Boom!

The clump of blood-red lightning arcs was torn apart.

The Qingxuan Sword was in Ye Guan's hands!

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he twisted his wrist, sending the sword flying away.

Bam!

The clump of blood-red lightning arcs was forcibly dispersed, but Ye Guan saw a figure flying toward him.

Ye Guan swung the Qingxuan Sword toward the oncoming blood-red lightning bolt.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed, and Ye Guan was forced to retreat thousands of meters away.

Just as he came to a halt, another bolt of blood-red lightning was already in front of him.

Ye Guan slashed forward with his sword, sending a wave of sword light to collide with the blood-red lightning bolt.

Boom!

The wave of sword light shattered, and he was forced to retreat once again. This time, he retreated ten thousand meters away, and blood trickled down his mouth as soon as he came to a halt.

The Evil Dao stayed her hand and glared coldly at the Qingxuan Sword. Her face was full of disdain as she said, "You even brought a divine artifact with you."

Swoosh!

Cirou appeared beside Ye Guan, and her was voice filled with concern as she asked, "Are you alright?"

Ye Guan wiped away the blood on his lips. "I'm fine."

Cirou looked dissatisfied. "Fine? Really?"

Ye Guan looked up at the Evil Dao and chuckled. "I now have a rough idea of her strength."

The Evil Dao was undoubtedly stronger than cultivators with ninety percent divinity, but she was weaker than those who had opened up their unique path.

Unfortunately, the Evil Dao was becoming stronger every day.

Just then, Ye Guan recalled something, and he asked, "Have you heard of the First God?"

The Evil Dao's brows furrowed instantly.

Ye Guan noticed that, and his voice sounded serious as he said, "I am his successor."

He had just remembered that the Evil Dao once belonged to the Divine Temple.

The Evil Dao remained expressionless as she replied, "What does that have to do with me?"

Ye Guan fell silent; it was clear that the Evil Dao was feigning ignorance.

The Evil Dao closed her eyes slowly. "Teacher has made yet another wrong decision."

"I'm sure you thought that the First God Universe's order was pretty good when he was still around." Ye Guan pointed out.

The Evil Dao's face remained indifferent as she replied, "But what happened to the Divine Temple after his passing? And what happened to the First God Universe? Every living being plunders resources from the vast expanse. They do it to become stronger and to live longer, but does the vast expanse deserve that?"

Ye Guan pondered briefly before saying, "There has to be a different way."

The Evil Dao sneered, "A different way? Human, you've underestimated your kind's greed and malice. Do you know why I exist? I was born out of human greed and malice. You can suppress me, but you cannot suppress human greed."

"You want to annihilate every living being, but they do not wish to be destroyed. Neither side needs to dwell on this issue. It's not about what's right or what's wrong; it's about which side we are."

The Evil Dao replied, "You will reap what you sow. No universe can exist forever. This is a cycle, and it's the absolute rule of the vast expanse. Even Teacher couldn't resolve this issue."

Ye Guan smiled and said, "Evil Dao, let's talk about that at another time. We're here to see Sister Zhen."

The Evil Dao's face became fierce upon hearing Ye Guan's remark.

"Get lost!" she snarled.

Boom!

A terrifying wave of blood-red lightning arcs burst out of the Evil Dao.

Ye Guan's expression changed at the sight. What's wrong with her? Why is she going crazy?

He dared not to be careless and hurriedly swung his Qingxuan Sword, sending out waves of sword light to demolish the blood-red lightning arcs.

However, his sword lights couldn't withstand the lightning arcs, shattering instantly upon contact.

Just as Ye Guan was about to merge with Ao Qianqian and activate his bloodline power, a mysterious power abruptly manifested, and it extinguished the lightning arcs.

The Evil Dao turned sharply and roared, "True God!"

There was no response.

The Evil Dao was furious, and she glared coldly at Ye Guan before leaving.

Ye Guan stared into the distance, but the True God didn't appear before him.

"Sister Zhen?" Ye Guan called out.

No response.

"Sister Zhen?" he called out again.

Still no response.

Ye Guan's face became complicated, and he sighed. "I guess Sister Zhen doesn't want to see us. All right, let's go back."

With that, he pulled the two women and turned around to leave.

However, Cirou shook her head and smiled. "That's not going to work on Sister Zhen."

Cirou stared into the distance and exclaimed, "Sister Zhen, come out and meet us!"

There was still no response.

Cirou was about to shout once again when the spacetime in the distance abruptly trembled.

The next moment, a woman slowly walked out of a spacetime rift. She was wearing a long white dress and was breathtakingly beautiful.

She was none other than Cizhen!

The world itself seemed to slow down for Ye Guan as soon as his eyes landed on her. He was reminded of the times they had spent together. Eventually, he snapped back to reality and swept his gaze across the three girls before saying, "Long time no see."

Cirou and Cishu immediately rushed to her side and hugged her tightly.

Cizhen hugged them back, and her eyes were full of affection as she stared at them.

After a while, Cirou and Cishu retreated.

Ye Guan walked up to Cizhen with a smile and greeted, "Sister Zhen."

Cizhen caressed his cheek and said, "You've matured."

She was still as gentle as ever.

Ye Guan held her hand and said, "Sister Zhen, I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait a little longer…"

Cizhen reassured him, "It's fine."

"It must be boring here, right?" Ye Guan asked.

"Walk with me," Cizhen replied.

Ye Guan nodded, and Cizhen led him deeper into the lightning region. After taking a couple of steps, Cizhen seemed to have recalled something and turned to look at Cijing and Cishu.

"Why are you both just standing there? Come with us!" Cizhen urged.

The two women were stunned. Then, they smiled and followed closely behind the two.

Cizhen led three of them into the core region of the Tribulation World.

The pressure boring down on them became even more terrifying as they approached the core region of the Tribulation World.

Ye Guan's expression grew solemn at the terrifying pressure boring down on him. It was so terrifying that he felt like Death was staring at him from up above.

It was dangerous! It was his first time sensing this level of danger.

Cirou asked, "Sister Zhen, is this the Universe Tribulation?"

Cizhen nodded. "I've suppressed it countless times, but its power is still growing every day. If this were allowed to erupt, none of the known worlds and universe out there would be spared."

"Is there any other way to make it disappear? Like erasing it…" Ye Guan muttered.

Cizhen shook her head. "No. This comes from all living beings, so it cannot be erased. I brought you here to let you feel this tribulation, and it is an extremely terrifying one at that. How do you feel? Are you scared?"

Ye Guan squeezed Cizhen's hand and replied, "Meeting you and falling in love with you was the most terrifying tribulation in my life, and it's all because it's a tribulation that I can never overcome in my lifetime..."

The three women were so dumbfounded by Ye Guan's reply that they had no idea what to say.
