Chapter 434: Transforming Words to a Law
The bloodline power within Ye Guan boiled even more intensely as they approached the Sword Tower. Ye Guan had three bloodlines, but only the Mad Demon Bloodline was active. The other two bloodlines were dormant so far.
Technically, even the Mad Demon Bloodline had yet to be fully activated because Ye Guan had never really gone mad. Ye Guan had to descend into complete madness for him to tap into the full power of the bloodline.
As for his remaining two bloodlines, Ye Guan had no idea how they worked.
Still, the fact that they could coexist with the Mad Demon Bloodline hinted at their extraordinary nature. Otherwise, the Mad Demon Bloodline would have destroyed them long ago.
Soon, they arrived at the Sword Tower. The tower was an ancient structure exuding an aura of antiquity. Mysterious runes adorned its exterior, resembling inverted swords, but it seemed as though the runes were suppressing something.
Ye Guan turned to Xuanyuan Ling, but she ignored him and proceeded toward the entrance. After a few steps, she sensed something and turned around to find that Ye Guan was standing still.
Xuanyuan Ling stared quietly at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan approached her with a sincere expression and said, "Miss Ling, I apologize about last night."
Xuanyuan Ling shook her head. "No need for apologies. Let's enter and have you try to pull out that sword!"
Xuanyuan Ling then turned around and entered the Sword Tower.
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Guan followed suit.
The tower stood tall with nine floors, and the duo ascended gradually. Ye Guan noted the intricate murals on each floor, seemingly narrating ancient tales.
Xuanyuan Ling suddenly said, "These are remnants of history from ancient times." contemporary romance
Ye Guan looked at Xuanyuan Ling and asked, "Ancient history?"
Xuanyuan Ling nodded. "The ancient history of an era long gone."
"I guess this blue planet had quite a few supreme elites back then, am I right?"
"You're right," Xuanyuan Ling replied, nodding.
Curiosity piqued, Ye Guan asked, "So, where are they now?"
Xuanyuan Ling shook her head gently and replied, "I have no idea."
Ye Guan fell into thoughtful silence. He reckoned that the Great Daoist Brush Master would have some idea. After all, the Great Daoist Brush Master knew that the Milky Way had one hundred and fifty civilizations in the past.
Ye Guan wanted to ask more questions, but they were already on the ninth floor. A stone platform was in the middle of the ninth floor, and a magnificent golden sword hovered above the stone platform.
The sword's name was Xuanyuan, and it measured one meter in length and two and a half fingers in width. It was emitting a radiant light as if it was telling the world that it was still alive.
Xuanyuan Ling promptly explained, "You're staring at Xuanyuan, and it is an embodiment of the Dao. The depictions of the sun, moon, and stars are carved on one side of its blade, while the other side showcases mountains, rivers, and flora. The hilt bears inscriptions on agriculture, husbandry, and the unification of the four seas. Of course, even the hilt itself contains boundless power."
The Xuanyuan Sword!
Ye Guan started walking toward Xuanyuan, and it trembled ever so slightly as if it had sensed Ye Guan's approach.
Xuanyuan Ling clenched her fists tightly in nervousness.
Responding to a feeling within him, Ye Guan calmly opened his palm and beckoned, "Come!"
A resonant hum echoed from the Sword Tower as the radiant light from Xuanyuan erupted, pervading the entire Sword Tower in the proverbial blink of an eye. At the same time, Xuanyuan flew into Ye Guan's open hand.
The unexpected event sent shockwaves throughout the entire Xuanyuan Clan. Many turned their gaze toward the distant Sword Tower. The clan elders had refrained from going with Xuanyuan Ling and Ye Guan to the Sword Tower, as they had never thought that Ye Guan would succeed. Xuanyuan had remained asleep for countless years, defying generations of attempts to awaken it by the clans descendants.
How could it possibly accept an outsider when it wouldn't even accept the Xuanyuan Clan's descendants as its master?
Consequently, none of them had given much thought to the matter. However, they were utterly bewildered by the radiant light that the Sword Tower was emitting at the moment. Had the holy sword truly submitted to a new master?
On Mount Fanjing, a man in the middle of sweeping a stone step abruptly came to a halt. He turned to stare at the distant horizon, and his expression was complicated as he muttered, "Xuanyuan..."
...
Xuanyuan Ling's expression was complex as she stared at Ye Guan. Her intuition had been screaming at her all this while that Ye Guan was capable of making Xuanyuan submit, and her intuition had just been proven to be correct.
Ye Guan gripped Xuanyuan tightly in his hand, and his expression turned serious as he sensed the boundless power hidden within the sword. Xuanyuan was definitely not an ordinary sword, and among all the swords he had ever encountered so far, Xuanyuan was the closest in power to the Qingxuan Sword and the Path Sword.
The revelation left Ye Guan astounded.
He hadn't expected to find such a divine item on Blue Planet.
Just then, Xuanyuan trembled ever so slightly. Before Ye Guan could react, a radiant light burst out of it and engulfed Ye Guan in the blink of an eye.
Xuanyuan Lings heart jumped at the sudden turn of events, and she ran frantically toward Ye Guan.
Boom!
The radiant golden light engulfed the two, and they vanished into thin air.
When they opened their eyes once more, they found themselves in a vast, desolate land. The wasteland seemed endless, and the air was dry, scorching, and extremely hot.
Where are we? Ye Guan furrowed his brow deeply.
Xuanyuan Ling's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "We're in the Red Star Battlefield!"
Ye Guan raised an eyebrow. "Red Star Battlefield?"
Xuanyuan Ling nodded slightly with an incredulous look. She was just about to explain when something caught her attention. She pointed toward the distant void, and her voice trembled as she cried out, "Look!"
Ye Guan followed her gaze and saw a large group of human beings clad in armor standing in the void just above the wasteland.
A middle-aged man adorned in golden battle armor was standing at the helm of the ground. A majestic golden sword was in his hand, and he radiated a solemn presence.
He was like a celestial being, radiating a profound sanctity
Xuanyuan Ling trembled upon seeing the middle-aged man.
"That's... our ancestor!" Xuanyuan Ling exclaimed. Then, she tried to run toward the middle-aged man, but Ye Guan held her back and calmly said, "You're looking at nothing but a mirage."
A mirage? Xuanyuan Ling was stunned.
Ye Guan's gaze landed on a two-clawed colossal dragon just beneath the middle-aged man. Ye Guan also noted the intricate patterns on the two-clawed colossal dragon's wings.
The dragon was crouching before the middle-aged man, and its towering figure instilled a primal fear in just about anyone staring at it. Its intense gaze was fixed on the distant void, and clearly, it was hostile toward what was in the distant void.
Another middle-aged man was standing next to the middle-aged man wearing golden armor. The middle-aged man's hair and sideburns resembled sharp swords, and his eyes were incredibly fierce. A shield was strapped to his left hand, and a colossal axe was in his right hand. His fierce demeanor and menacing presence made him appear as though he was a war god.
Xuanyuan Lings voice quivered as she muttered, "That's an ancestor of the Chi Clan..."
Four demonic beasts loomed over everyone in the rear. Every single one of the four demonic beasts was ferocious beyond description, and all of them exuded a terrifying killing intent.
Ye Guan's expression turned grave upon seeing the four demonic beasts. The killing intent they were exuding was incredibly terrifying, second only to Erya.
Ye Guan was curious about their identity, so he asked, "Miss Ling, what are those four?"
Xuanyuan Ling seemed transfixed on the four as she exclaimed, "They are the Four Ancient Demonic BeastsTaotie, Hundun, Qiongqi, and Taowu..."
"Four Ancient Demonic Beasts?" Ye Guan's eyebrows knitted together. Shifting his attention behind the four ancient demonic beasts, he saw around eighty men, each exuding a fierce aura and overwhelming power.
A group of individuals were standing in the void opposite the four ancient demonic beasts. A middle-aged man holding a bronze divine cauldron was standing at the helm of the group.
Xuanyuan Ling's gaze lingered on the man as she muttered, "The ancestor of the Yan Clan. Unfortunately, the Yan Clan"
Xuanyuan Ling shook her head, leaving her words unfinished.
A group of warriors were standing behind the middle-aged man holding a bronze divine cauldron. Every single warrior within the group emitted imposing auras, but one of them stood out in particular. It was a man with a shield strapped to his hand with an axe in his other hand. The man exuded a powerful martial intent that made Ye Guan's eyes narrowed into slits.
Ye Guan could feel it even though the man was just a miragethe man was more powerful than the Eternal Civilization's Battle Sovereign.
Ye Guan was stupefied. These individuals were undoubtedly the supreme elites who had once graced the Blue Planet. They each possessed formidable strength and terrifying abilities.
Ye Guan felt a complicated mixture of emotions. He had underestimated the Blue Planet. This planet was once home to a flourishing and powerful martial civilization, but the Blue Planet experienced a decline for some reason many years later.
Ye Guan cast his gaze once more upon the gathering of powerful warriors. Ye Guan noticed that they seemed to be waiting for something.
Just then, the spacetime in the distance began to ripple.
Ye Guan's eyes narrowed, and the gathered elites grew solemn as well as the spacetime tremors began to become more and more violent.
Just then, the fabric of spacetime was torn open, and a radiant spacetime tunnel manifested before the onlookers.
The middle-aged man holding a golden sword exclaimed, "A Passageway of Time!"
Ye Guan knitted his brows, and a realization dawned upon him. His eyes constricted, and his heart started to pump wildly against his chest. Was he about to meet a legendary Time Reverser?
The Great Daoist Brush Master had talked about this before, but Ye Guan hadn't quite understood it. Had a Time Reverser breached the defenses of the Blue Planet a long time ago?
Just then, a woman emerged from the radiant spacetime tunnel, interrupting Ye Guan's line of thought. The woman was wearing a flowing white robe and a jade belt wrapped around her waist. Her long hair flowed down freely behind her, and she was wearing a golden mask that covered most of her face, exposing only her mouth.
There were two figures behind the white-robed woman, and they were towering figures clad in black robes. Their faces were covered by a hood, and their auras seemed to have been obfuscated by something indescribable.
There were more powerful auras behind the two figures in black robes, but none of them stepped forward. Ye Guan's expression was grim as he stared at the white-robed woman at the helm of the group.
The white-robed woman before Ye Guan was just a mirage, but Ye Guan's heart still skipped a beat in fear the moment he clapped his eyes on her.
Ye Guan clenched his fists tightly as he desperately tried to suppress the creeping fear within his heart. Unfortunately, he found it impossible for some reason. To make matters worse, he was only getting more afraid as time went on.
Ye Guan frowned deeply, and his visage began to turn pale. He attempted to resist the fear, but the more he struggled against it, the stronger it gripped his heart.
Just then, Xuanyuan Ling saw Ye Guan's distress.
"Are you okay? What's going on with you?" she asked softly after a brief hesitation.
Ye Guan remained unwittingly transfixed on the white-robed woman, but he chose to remain silent. Xuanyuan Ling turned toward the same white-robed woman with a puzzled gaze.
All of a sudden, one of the black-robed figures spoke in a booming voice, "Since you've decided to resist, then what are you waiting for? Come! Let me see if the Great Daoist Brush Master can help you protect this Blue Planet."
The middle-aged man wielding a golden sword cackled maniacally and roared, "Everyone, let's go! Let's go and defend our homeland, Huaxia!"
The middle-aged man wielding a golden sword charged forward, and the elites behind him rushed after him soon afterward. At the same time, their figures turned blurry until they faded away. Even the two figures in black eventually faded away, but the white-robed woman remained!
The white-robed woman turned and stared directly at Ye Guan and Xuanyuan Ling.
Ye Guan's eyes abruptly narrowed, and he instinctively stood in front of Xuanyuan Ling.
Meanwhile, a man sweeping a stone step on Mount Fanjing suddenly looked up. His eyes shone in a dazzling mix of tension, excitement, and anticipation.
Cizhen was in the middle of her writing when her pen abruptly came to a halt. She looked up and uttered not a single word as she resumed writing, but her handwriting had become erratic and fierce.
Meanwhile, the white-robed woman locked eyes with Ye Guan and uttered, "Destiny that transcends Dao Destiny!"
Ye Guan frowned, utterly confused by her cryptic words.
Without warning, the white-robed woman roared, "Die!"
Boom!
Ye Guan's figure unexpectedly erupted into flames! The white-robed woman's words had become a law, transforming her words into reality.
"Hmm?" A thunderous voice echoed throughout the void, and a sword let loose a shrill cry as it pierced the void and made a beeline for the white-robed woman.
"Stop!" commanded the white-robed woman.
The sword instantly froze in place, and the white-robed woman demanded, "Shatter!"
Crack!
The sword fractured and started breaking apart.
Astonishingly, the sword was none other than the Qingxuan Sword!
