I Have A Sword

Chapter 584: Descendants of the Five Great Gods!

Ye Guan fell into a daze at the terrifying sight. When he came back to his senses and focused, the sword had already disappeared.

Did I just see a sword obliterate a massive star field?

Ye Guan's expression unconsciously became serious. A star field contained a myriad of stars, and there was no way Ye Guan could annihilate one, even if he were to go all out and reveal all of his cards.

Was there another invincible swordsman somewhere?

Ye Guan stared into the depths of the starry skies, pondering over something. Then, his figure trembled, and he transformed into a streak of sword light that disappeared into the depths of the starry sky.

Ye Guan had decided to take a look. Although it was somewhat risky, an encounter with such a powerful swordsman was rare. How could he pass up on the opportunity to see just what kind of swordsman they were?

Ye Guan traversed through the starry skies until he eventually reached the devastated starfield. Ye Guan saw nothing but a void—the star field had truly been annihilated.

Ye Guan's expression became extremely grim. Who exactly was behind that sword?

Rumble!

Ye Guan felt the approach of mysterious figures, and he hurriedly concealed his own aura before hiding in an independent pocket of space. Soon, mysterious supreme elites emerged from spacetime rifts all around Ye Guan.

The supreme elites were shocked to see the scene of annihilation before them.

What kind of cultivator could achieve such a feat?

It had to be known that what was annihilated wasn't a starry sky but an entire star field.

"Has a god descended here?" A voice echoed, shattering the silence.

The descent of a god? Ye Guan stared calmly into the distance. In his opinion, a god hadn't descended here, as the sword was a bit familiar to him. Unfortunately, he did not manage to get a clear view of the sword as it was just a bit too far away earlier.

Could it be Aunt?

After a moment of silence, Ye Guan shook his head slightly and turned around to leave.

He had the inheritance of the First God and countless divine treasures, so Ye Guan knew that he had to stay low-key and make sure that no one would know what he had on his person. Otherwise, the cultivators of the Old Era would hunt him down.

Nine Ancestral Veins!

Who could resist such a temptation?

Ye Guan was about to leave the scene when a voice echoed. "What is that?"

Ye Guan stopped in his tracks and looked up. Emerging from the void was a massive cloud ship spanning tens of thousands of meters long; it sailed slowly across the void as if it were a ghost ship.

A flagpole with a banner stood ramrod straight on the cloud ship's bow.

The character "Mo" was written in blood-red ink on the banner.

Ye Guan was confused.

Rumble!

Countless divine senses swept toward the cloud ship, but they disappeared without a trace the moment they got close enough to the cloud ship. The nearby supreme elites were astonished.

Just then, streams of spiritual energy rushed out of the cloud ship.

Everyone's faces changed drastically upon seeing the stream of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy was incomparably pure; it had come from a strand of Ancestral Origin!

There had to be multiple strands of Ancestral Origin on the cloud ship, and they were extremely pure. No, everyone reckoned that there might be Ancestral Veins on the cloud ship, as the spiritual energy around it was so thick that it had become a mist.

Only Ancestral Veins could produce such a thick and concentrated spiritual energy. At the possibility that there might be a legendary Ancestral Vein on the cloud ship, the gazes of the nearby supreme elites became filled with green.

An Ancestral Vein!

It was the most precious natural resource throughout the vast expanse.

However, Ye Guan retreated instead of attacking the cloud ship. He had experienced enough to know that there was something wrong. The sudden appearance of the cloud ship and the spiritual energy coming from a strand of Ancestral Origin...

The coincidence was too much for it to be natural. Ye Guan noticed something off, so he picked up the pace and retreated.

Rumble!

Rumbling noises echoed as a mighty aura swept toward the distant cloud ship. The lurking supreme elites could no longer sit idly by and were forced to charge at the cloud ship. They also knew that something was amiss, but the presence of an Ancestral Vein was just too great of a temptation for them to refuse.

Moreover, they knew that great rewards always come with great risks.

In no time, at least hundreds of top-tier supreme elites flocked to the cloud ship. They flew desperately, seemingly afraid that they would be too late and someone else would snatch the Ancestral Vein away from them.

Ye Guan stared at the supreme elites and saw that the weakest among them was a Great Destiny Sovereign. Roughly eighty percent of them were Great Destiny Sovereigns, but there were Heavenly Sovereigns among them.

They all had one thing in common: they were all old monsters.

Just as the crowd approached the cloud ship, a book suddenly flew out from within the cloud ship. A burst of blood-red light erupted and engulfed the charging cultivators.

"Ah...!"

Screams echoed throughout the desolate star field.

Ye Guan watched solemnly as the cultivators exploded into bloody mists one after another beneath the blood-red light coming from the book, which looked like it was made out of blood.

Less than a dozen breaths later, the supreme elites had transformed into blood mists.

Ye Guan was stupefied. It had to be known that there were Heavenly Sovereigns among them, but they were completely powerless in the face of the blood-red light.

How terrifying! Ye Guan remarked inwardly.

Just then, a woman flew out of the cloud ship. She was dressed in a light red long dress, which was as thin as a veil. The woman stood on the flagpole on the bow of the cloud ship, and her black hair billowed out around her as she swept her crimson eyes across the gory scene. She had an extraordinary appearance—no, she had an "otherworldly" appearance.

The woman opened her palm, and the mysterious bloody book flew into her hands. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly as she revealed a captivating smile while staring at the book in her hands.

All of a sudden, she turned toward where Ye Guan was standing and said, "A fish actually got away?"

Swoosh!

The woman vanished and reappeared in front of Ye Guan.

Ye Guan's left thumb pressed against his sword hilt. He did not make a move, but his sword intent and bloodline power surged crazily within him. They were ready to be unleashed at any moment.

Ye Guan dared not to be careless before the strange woman.

If he had to make a move, he'd go all out and deliver a fatal blow.

The woman and Ye Guan met each other's gaze.

The woman revealed a captivating and soul-stirring smile.

Ye Guan steadied his mind and calmly said, "Things that are too good to be true are often scams."

"Oh?" The woman's curiosity was piqued. "You knew that it was a trap?"

Ye Guan nodded slightly. "I guessed it."

The woman sized up Ye Guan and chuckled. "I did not expect those old fogeys to be dumber than a young man."

"Well, the temptation was too great," Ye Guan remarked. A strong enough temptation would force people to take risks, including risking their lives.

"I feel like you're not afraid of me." The woman pointed out. She couldn't help but be surprised because she noticed that Ye Guan's eyes had never shown any fear before her, even though his hand had been on his sword hilt the moment she appeared.

Ye Guan calmly asked, "Are you going to attack me?"

The woman shook her head. "No."

"Why?" Ye Guan asked.

The woman's jade-like hand picked up a lock of her hair that had settled on her bosom before saying, "I killed them because they wanted to rob my Ancestral Veins. You weren't one of them, so why should I kill you?"

Ye Guan was silent. So she came here... to fish?

The woman glanced at the sword in Ye Guan's hand and smiled before turning around to leave. After walking for a while, the woman suddenly turned around and waved her sleeve, sending a strand of Ancestral Origin toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was bewildered. "Miss! You—"

"I'm in a good mood today!" the woman exclaimed, waving her hand from afar without even looking back. "Consider that your good fortune"

The woman reached the cloud ship in the blink of an eye. Then, her cloud ship disappeared into the end of the star field.

Left all alone, Ye Guan looked down at the strand of Ancestral Origin in front of him and shook his head with a wry smile. He then put away the strand of Ancestral Origin and turned around to leave.

...

The woman opened her palm, and the same bloody book from earlier appeared in her hand. She revealed a charming smile upon sensing the surging blood energy within the book.

Just then, a young man in a black robe appeared behind her. The black-robed young man's gaze was cold as he stared at the distant end of the starry sky. "The cultivation base of the young man earlier wasn't that high, but his spiritual energy, blood, and soul are stronger than the average Heavenly Sovereign.

"Why did you not assimilate him into that demon book?"

"Does that young man deserve to die?" asked the young woman.

The black-robed young man frowned.

The woman chuckled and said, "I killed those people because they tried to rob us of our Ancestral Veins. They deserved to die, but the young man earlier had no ill motives toward me, so why should I kill him?"

The black-robed young man glanced at Mo Yaoyao.

"You're such a traditionalist," the black-robed young man said with a hint of disdain in his voice.

Mo Yaoyao smiled and replied, "The path to the Great Dao is straightforward; everything follows the law of cause and effect. I am not invincible, so I still have to respect the law of cause and effect. He had no intentions, so I would have incurred bad karma if I had killed him..."

The black-robed young man snorted. "So what if you incurred some karma?"

Mo Yaoyao shook her head and remained silent.

However, the black-robed young man seemed unwilling to let the matter go. "I don't believe in the karma that you're talking about. I don't believe that there are going to be any negative consequences even if I kill him. If you don't believe me, we can make a bet."

Mo Yaoyao put away the book in her hand. "No need."

A pointless dispute was unnecessary. Moreover, Mo Yaoyao admired the young man for his fearless attitude, calm demeanor, and clear eyes. The young man definitely had a bright future ahead of him, which was the reason Mo Yaoyao decided to give him a strand of Ancestral Origin.

Of course, Mo Yaoyao wasn't really expecting much from the young man.

The black-robed young man glanced at Mo Yaoyao and said, "I will prove you wrong. Just give me some time."

The black-robed young man turned around to leave.

Mo Yaoyao saw that and said, "He has no grievances with you, so why kill him out of impulse?"

The black-robed young man remained expressionless. "I don't like him. Is that not good enough of a reason?"

Mo Yaoyao frowned slightly.

The black-robed young man chuckled and said, "I really want to see whether there are any consequences in this world that my Wang Clan cannot bear."

Wang Clan!

He was a descendant of the Five Great Gods!
