I Have a Sword

After Ye Guan left, Xin Yu stared into the depths of the starry sky for a long time before eventually looking away.

"Let's go," she said before leading her team away.

***

Somewhere in an unknown star field, a spacetime rift suddenly manifested, and a ray of sword light tore through the rift.

The sword light belonged to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan took just a couple of steps before collapsing in the void. He sprawled out, suspended in the void, feeling numb all over.

The Qingxuan Sword could indeed carry him across spacetime, but he had overlooked one crucial fact—the distance was absolutely massive, and it was far beyond what his fleshly body and soul could withstand.

As a result, Ye Guan had no choice but to emerge from the spacetime tunnel. If he had waited any longer, he would have died.

Ye Guan remained silent as he sprawled out, allowing the Divine Tree of Nature and the Life Force Heart to heal him.

However, he suddenly sensed something and sat up abruptly. He stared into the distance and saw waves of blood-red lightning surging toward him like a tidal wave.

Ye Guan's expression changed drastically. "What's that?"

Yi Nian suddenly appeared next to him and remarked, "It's a Universe Tribulation."

A Universe Tribulation? Ye Guan was stunned. He took a closer look at the blood-red lightning and realized that it gave off the same feeling as the lightning he had seen in the Tribulation World. This universe region is going through a Universe Tribulation?

Ye Guan was a bit puzzled. Just where am I?

Crackle!

A wave of lightning tribulation swept toward Ye Guan at an alarming speed. His expression changed slightly, and he was about to use the Qingxuan Sword to escape when a ray of saber light descended, blocking the lightning tribulation.

Ye Guan was shocked. Who are they? Who's strong enough to block a tribulation?

Ye Guan looked down and saw a middle-aged man standing with a saber in hand amidst the sea of clouds.

His hair flowed past his shoulders, and his overall demeanor was wild and unrestrained. It was further emphasized by the fierce light in his eyes. A myriad of supreme elites and experts were standing behind him.

Ye Guan scrutinized the middle-aged man carefully. At the very least, the old man was at the peak of the Transcension Realm.

However, what caught Ye Guan's attention was the middle-aged man's saber intent, which was as fierce and overwhelming as a torrential storm.

Nine cultivators with full divinity were standing behind him, and their auras were incomparably strong as well. Although there was apprehension in their eyes, it was quickly overshadowed by their firm determination to face death.

A myriad of living beings stood behind these cultivators, and every single one of the figures behind them revealed despairing looks.

The Universe Tribulation was here!

Every being beneath the tribulation seemed as insignificant as ants, and these people had nowhere to go.

Just then, the middle-aged man's saber light shattered, and a wave of tribulation lightning rushed toward him. The middle-aged man took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at everyone present.

Everyone looked back at him in desperation. Clearly, the middle-aged man was their final ray of hope.

The middle-aged man retracted his gaze and suddenly turned around. His figure transformed into a beam of saber light that took to the sky.

Schwing!

Both time and space were like pieces of paper before his saber.

The boundless wave of tribulation lightning was pushed back with a wave of his saber. The next moment, they charged at the middle-aged man again, and the latter's saber aura became illusory.

The middle-aged man roared, unleashing an overwhelming wave of saber intent and saber aura. The saber intent and saber aura transformed into a formidable barrier, but there were too many tribulation lightning bolts.

Even though his saber intent and saber aura were incredibly strong, they couldn't withstand the endless lightning tribulation. The middle-aged man's figure was becoming illusory as well.

An old man appeared behind the middle-aged man, and he said in a trembling voice, "Saber Master, that's enough. We've accepted... our fate."

The middle-aged man stared into the distance and saw that his saber aura and saber intent were on the verge of vanishing.

A tinge of despair flashed in his eyes.

Just then, he turned sharply and stared at Ye Guan standing in the void thousands of meters away. He swung his left hand, and a formidable saber force swept across everyone behind him. The next moment, the storage rings of the people behind him took to the air and made a beeline for Ye Guan. The sight of millions of storage rings flying toward one individual was awe-inspiring, but Ye Guan was more confused than in awe.

The middle-aged man swung his hand again, and hundreds of young talents flew toward Ye Guan.

"Friend, can you do me a favor and help me ensure that the foundations of my Cangyun Civilization aren't lost? If you find this difficult, then you can refuse. I will not take those storage rings back."

Ye Guan swept his gaze across the youngsters before him. The majority of them were pale and were scared. There were some trying to appear calm, but they still looked uneasy and apprehensive. Ye Guan could tell that these people were all extremely talented, especially the young woman at the front dressed in a light blue long dress. She was an absolute beautify and was incredibly powerful as well. She was just in her early twenties, but she had already accumulated ninety percent divinity. In other words, she was a monstrous talent!

Unfortunately, a tribulation spared no talent, and these talents had no choice but to wait for their deaths.

Ye Guan stared at the middle-aged man and saw that the latter's figure had become extremely illusory. It wouldn't be strange if he disappeared the next moment.

Despite knowing his condition, the middle-aged man did not look away from Ye Guan.

The middle-aged man had no idea how the young man before him managed to survive the tribulation before them, but he could tell that the young man had extraordinary origins.

Ye Guan watched as the tribulation lightning rolled in. They were weaker than the tribulation lightning of the True Universe's Universe Tribulation, but they were still extremely terrifying and were far beyond what he could withstand right now.

Moreover, it'd be meaningless to withstand them, as the tribulation lightnings were born from the myriad of living beings. Resistance was futile unless one was as strong as Sister Zhen.

Ye Guan transmitted. "Senior Blood Corpse, if we work together, will we be able to suppress that Universe Tribulation?"

The tall blood corpse replied, "No, only a true Path Creation Realm cultivator can suppress such a terrifying Universe Tribulation."

"I understand," Ye Guan said with a slight nod.

The tall blood corpse added, "Young Master Ye, I advise you not to save these people here."

Ye Guan asked, puzzled, "Why?"

The tall blood corpse replied solemnly, "I sensed the presence of the Evil Dao here. In other words, this tribulation was predetermined. If you save them, their karma will bog you down, and you'll also end up offending the Evil Dao of this tribulation. There's also that mysterious organization to consider.

Ye Guan frowned and asked, "Mysterious organization?"

"Have you not heard of them, Young Master Ye?" the tall blood corpse asked.

Ye Guan shook his head.

The tall blood corpse explained, "It's a mysterious organization that only accepts Evil Daos. After each Universe Tribulation, the mysterious organization will appear and take away the Evil Dao of that tribulation. Our Arcanist Civilization once tried to investigate them, but we gave up shortly afterward."

"Why?"

"It's all because the waters were too muddy, plus there's still quite a while until we have to face a Universe Tribulation, so we decided to stop investigating them. Of course, it's also because we wanted to avoid any conflict with them."

"I understand."

"Young Master Ye, you need to hurry up and leave. I have a bad feeling about this, and my gut is telling me that the mysterious organization will appear soon."

A mysterious organization was going to come and take the Evil Dao!

After a brief moment of contemplation, Ye Guan looked at the middle-aged man in the distance. His saber intent and aura had already disappeared, and a mighty wave of tribulation lightning was sweeping toward him.

It was a terrifying sight.

The people behind him could no longer hold on and began to flee frantically. Even full divinity experts were frantic. At first, they were still holding onto a glimmer of hope, thinking that they could resist the Universe Tribulation.

However, the reality was that they were utterly incapable of doing anything against it.

Run! Everyone was frantically running away! The universe region was in absolute chaos.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan stared calmly at the middle-aged man. "You're strong enough to leave. Why choose to die here?"

The middle-aged man laughed heartily and replied, "With power comes responsibility. How can I flee when my civilization is in danger?"

Ye Guan was astonished. He was in awe of the middle-aged man's mindset. Eventually, he made up his mind and said, "I will save them."

With that, he dragged the youngsters into the tiny pagoda.

The middle-aged man cast a grateful look at Ye Guan. "Thank you."

The next moment, he roared, and his figure erupted into flames. He had decided to ignite his soul!

Ye Guan took one last look at the middle-aged man before turning around and flying away on his sword.

He decided to leave, as knew that he couldn't save the entire civilization.

Moreover, the tiny pagoda wasn't that easy to maintain, especially with so many people inside of it.

As soon as Ye Guan disappeared into the horizon, the middle-aged man was reduced to ashes. Moments later, the Universe Tribulation engulfed and destroyed the myriad beings of this universe region.

After an unknown amount of time, a shadowy figure emerged from the blood-red tribulation lightning bolts. The shadowy figure exuded an overwhelming malevolent aura.

It was none other than the Evil Dao.

The spacetime in front of it trembled, and an old woman appeared. The old woman was short, and her arched back made her look like a shrimp. Her hair was completely white, and her face was covered in wrinkles. Despite that, her eyes emitted a blood-red sheen, making just about anyone afraid of her.

Two more shadowy figures clad in robes were standing behind her, and these two shadowy figures were extremely powerful.

Each of them wielded a long, blood-red sword.

The old woman stared at the Evil Dao and said, "You should know me by now."

The Evil Dao bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Granny Dao."

The old woman turned to look in the direction where Ye Guan had fled, and her gaze became cold as she said, "How dare he save those facing tribulation? I'm convinced that he's seeking his own death."

Swoosh!

One of the shadowy figures disappeared quietly, chasing Ye Guan.

Meanwhile, the old woman glanced at the region filled with tribulation lightning and sneered, "They're as weak as ants, yet they dare to think of following the True Universe's example. They are truly seeking death."

The True Universe!

The old woman's expression became fierce when she was reminded of the woman who had forcibly suppressed the Evil Dao roughly a million times by now.

The old woman took a deep breath and sneered, "She thinks she can keep on suppressing the Evil Dao, but that's just an absurd joke. She seems to have no idea that the Evil Dao will just become even more powerful the longer it is suppressed."

"Her good days are coming to an end," remarked the old woman

The other shadowy figures asked, "Is that confirmed?"

"Yes, it has been confirmed." The old woman nodded slightly and explained, "We'll kill the True God and save the Evil Dao. To ensure that nothing will wrong, we decided to ask for help…"

At first, the reason they didn't take action was that the Evil Dao in the True Universe wasn't really that valuable. However, things were different now. The Evil Dao had become extremely powerful after being suppressed for so many years. If it somehow managed to break free from its shackles, it'd be able to display a cataclysmic might. Thus, they decided to kill the True God and save the Evil Dao.
