I Have A Sword-Chapter 1305: Mere Ants
Chapter 1305: Mere Ants
Fan Zhaodi unleashed just a single wave of her evil aura, but everyone present felt an immense weight on their chest. It was like a mountain was pressing down on their chest.
Fan Zhaodi had transcended the Freedom Path and reached a completely new realm—the Life Extinction Realm!
With her breakthrough, the order of the Ancestral Dao was shattered. From now on, this vast expanse would revere Fan Zhaodi as the supreme authority.
The Ancestral Dao was still alive, albeit barely. All the power it had amassed from countless living beings was absorbed by Fan Zhaodi. To make matters worse, ninety-nine percent of its strength was siphoned away as well.
Even the Ancestral Dao was subject to Fan Zhaodi's absorption. Countless millennia of planning had all been handed over to Fan Zhaodi today.
The Ancestral Dao was full of hatred! It was unwilling to accept this!
It was filled with so much hatred that it almost ground its teeth to dust, but there was nothing it could do. Fan Zhaodi was insurmountable; it couldn't defeat her, even if it were at its peak.
Just then, ripples appeared in the spacetime above Fan Zhaodi and the Ancestral Dao.
Fan Zhaodi looked up, and her eyes narrowed as if she had seen something. She raised her left hand and pointed at the spacetime ripples.
A sword light erupted from within the rippling spacetime, but it was immediately neutralized.
Fan Zhaodi sneered, "Is that all?"
The crowd was puzzled. The attacker was unknown to them.
From afar, Ling Xiao glanced at the rippling space and then at Ye Guan before falling into deep thoughts. Moments later, he transformed into a radiant sword light, charging at Fan Zhaodi.
Fan Zhaodi calmly raised a finger. With a light tap in the air, the massive sword light shattered, and a terrifying evil intent forcibly suppressed Ling Xiao. Even the overwhelming sword intent emanating from him was neutralized.
Fan Zhaodi had become exponentially stronger.
Emperor Jun and the others were utterly horrified.
Just then, the Ancestral Dao opened its palm. The Ancestral Dao Seal flew into its hand, and it used its power to escape the battlefield. When it reappeared, it found itself at the edge of the Sea of Suffering within the Heavenly Tomb World.
Gazing at the sea, it hesitated in fear.
Just then, Fan Zhaodi pointed at him from afar. A streak of blood-red light shot forward, and the entire Heavenly Tomb World slowly disintegrated.
Terrified, the Ancestral Dao's soul nearly fled from its body. Clutching the Ancestral Dao Seal, it leaped into the Sea of Suffering. Fan Zhaodi's evil energy dissipated completely upon making contact with the water.
Fan Zhaodi frowned at the sight.
The Ancestral Dao initially thought that it was going to die upon jumping into the Sea of Suffering, but it didn't sink into the depths of the Sea of Suffering. On the contrary, the Ancestral Dao was floating for some reason.
Elated, it paddled frantically like a turtle toward the distant darkness.
, "Fan Zhaodi! You traitor! Just you wait! I'll get back at you!"
Fan Zhaodi glanced dismissively at the retreating Ancestral Dao. In her eyes, it was as useful as garbage. Even at its peak, it was merely an ant in her eyes. However, there was a reason to keep it alive, so it remained useful until now.
Just then, Fan Zhaodi shifted her gaze to Ye Guan. "I'm surprised that you've learned how to coexist with good and evil."
Ye Guan looked back at her. "And I'm surprised that you managed to enlist Clan Leader Jing and that mysterious figure from the Red Star."
"Haha." Fan Zhaodi grinned. She waved her hand, and a wave of evil energy spread out of her. "You're smart. Why don't you guess how I convinced them?"
She was in no hurry, as she believed that the battle was over.
Ye Guan turned to Clan Leader Jing. "You're against the Ancestral Dao's order, not mine. But you knew that you were not strong enough to defeat it. Fan Zhaodi must have convinced you by offering a way to kill the Ancestral Dao, right?"
Clan Leader Jing nodded slightly. "You're half correct."
Ye Guan frowned. "What does that mean?"
Clan Leader Jing didn't answer directly. Instead, she said, "I helped her suppress the Ancestral Dao because she promised that you could leave."
Ye Guan smiled. "Do you really think that's possible?"
"Of course," Fan Zhaodi interjected with a smile. "I'm someone who keeps my promises. You can leave, but the Dao Defiers by your side must die. They're valuable supplements to me."
Ye Guan looked at Clan Leader Jing and said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, but I choose to live and die with my sworn brothers."
"I respect your choice." Clan Leader Jing nodded and turned around to leave, but stopped after just two steps. "I once said that I'd give you a chance, right?"
Fan Zhaodi stared at Clan Leader Jing with narrowed eyes.
Clan Leader Jing turned back to Ye Guan. "During our bet in the Guanxuan Universe, I lost, so...I, Sifan Jing, pledge to follow the order of the Sword Master of Guanxuan!"
Boom!
Ye Guan's Order Sword Intent surged crazily, and its aura swept across this vast expanse.
The Great Daoist Brush Master paused while sweeping the ground. He looked into the depths of the star field with a complicated face and murmured, "The Ancestral Dao's order has collapsed, and there is no longer any order in this vast expanse.
"So why? Are you seeking your demise?"
Ye Guan's Order Sword Intent underwent a qualitative transformation, reaching the pinnacle of the Freedom Path.
It was the Sword Order—an order second only to that of the Ancestral Dao's.
The Qingxuan Sword was trembling in Ye Guan's hand.
"Clan Leader Jing, I'm surprised." Fan Zhaodi sneered. "Do you truly believe that he can create a fair order and not become a tyrant?"
Clan Leader Jing looked at her. "Do you know why I believe in him?"
Fan Zhaodi laughed. "It must not be because you've fallen for him. After all, he's quite the womanizer."
Clan Leader Jing stared at her. "During the battle in the True Universe, he never once called for help, even when facing death. That's why I believe in him."
Fan Zhaodi's smile faded. She knew what Clan Leader Jing was talking about. If Ye Guan's goal was to enslave others like the Ancestral Dao, he wouldn't have needed to work so hard.
Just one command would have been enough.
However, he had never done that.
Why? It was simple...
Ye Guan didn't want to rely on others; he wanted to become truly invincible by himself.
He wanted to become strong enough to surpass his father and predecessors.
Ye Guan's true opponents had always been his father and his predecessors..
Thus, Ye Guan couldn't keep relying on them. If he were to do that, even if he established order, it would always be beneath the Four Swords. However, if he surpassed the Four Swords, his order would stand above them!
Using the sword to establish order; all living beings were equal beneath the sword!
Father and grandfather must bow before me! This was Ye Guan's ultimate goal.
Upon hearing Clan Leader Jing's words, Ye Guan was stunned. Then, he shook his head with a smile. He had never expected that the people who understood him best would be Clan Leader Jing and Sister Zhen.
Some of his thoughts were buried deeply, hidden even from Master Pagoda.
Surpass his predecessors? If that idea were voiced, people would definitely laugh at Ye Guan, mocking him for being delusional.
However, Ye Guan had always been like that. If he wasn't willing to do something, he wouldn't do it at all. If he was willing to do something, he would strive to do his best for it, no matter how difficult it was going to be.
He believed that he could achieve his goal, as his ancestors would surely help him.
What if other people were to nurture the same goal as Ye Guan?
That meant they were crazy...
Mess with the Yang Clan and one would vanish into nothingness practically in an instant.
"Haha!" Little Pagoda suddenly burst into a peal of laughter. "I never thought you were hiding such depths! I have to admit, you've really impressed me, kid! I haven't misjudged you—you are truly ambitious, hahaha!"
Little Pagoda naturally understood Ye Guan's true intentions. The years he had spent reading books hadn't been in vain. Little Pagoda had made some progress as well, intellectually.
Fan Zhaodi glanced at Clan Leader Jing and said, "In time, you'll understand that your choice was wrong. I believe Ye Guan will eventually become an evil tyrant."
Fan Zhaodi stepped forward, and a blood-red beam of light shot toward Ye Guan.
Between her and Ye Guan, only one of them would survive!
After defeating the Ancestral Dao, Fan Zhaodi became the supreme authority of this vast expanse. How could she allow someone else to create a brand-new order?
This was a battle of the Great Dao! A fight to the death for the sake of Order!
Just then, Fan Zhaodi's aura enveloped everyone present. Under the oppressive, evil aura, Emperor Jun and the others struggled to breathe. They felt like millions of mountains were pressing down on them.
They couldn't even move. It was a devastating blow!
Hum!
Just then, a resonant sword hum echoed. The next moment, a blood-red sword light tore through the sky, slashing toward Fan Zhaodi!
Boom!
The blood-red sword light exploded, and everything on the battlefield was annihilated in an instant. The oppressive force from the evil aura disappeared, allowing Emperor Jun and the others to retreat to a safer distance.
Only Ling Xiao and Ye Guan barely managed to withstand Fan Zhaodi's power.
Soon, Ling Xiao and Ye Guan disappeared from their original positions and slashed at Fan Zhaodi at the same time.
At the sight, Fan Zhaodi merely sneered. After devouring all of the Ancestral Dao's cultivation base, perhaps only the plain-skirt lady stood a chance against her.
Everyone else was a mere ant!
Fan Zhaodi waved her sleeve, unleashing a towering blood-red wave of energy. The blood-red wave of energy was tens of thousands of meters high, and it blotted out the starry sky.
Ye Guan and Ling Xiao were forced to stop. They knew that they couldn't withstand the oncoming attack. Their swords were being completely overwhelmed.
Fan Zhaodi took a step forward, and the monstrous blood-red wave of energy loomed over Ye Guan and Ling Xiao. The boundless power shattered their sword intents before collapsing the space they occupied into an empty void.
Ye Guan clenched the Qingxuan Sword and gnashed his teeth. The evil aura radiating from Fan Zhaodi was at least dozens of times stronger than when they faced her in the True Universe.
Even his Order Sword Intent couldn't withstand it anymore.
It was really shocking, as his sword intent had just received Clan Leader Jing's blessings. Despite Clan Leader Jing's support, he was still powerless against Fan Zhaodi!
After devouring the strength of the Ten Tiers of Universe Civilization and the Ancestral Dao's power, Fan Zhaodi became an incredibly terrifying existence.
Just then, Ling Xiao shattered the oppressive, evil aura and slashed at Fan Zhaodi.
Before he could even get close, he was blasted away.
"Big Brother!" Ye Guan shouted and immediately ignited his fleshly body. He transformed into a streak of sword light and flew toward Fan Zhaodi. As he approached her, a terrifying aura froze him in place, shattering his sword intent.
Ye Guan gnashed his teeth, resisting the horrifying power of evil. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and he felt as if his internal organs were being torn apart.
The terrifying aura was simply overwhelming!
Fan Zhaodi stared coldly at the struggling Ye Guan.
"You've already burned your fleshly body, but I haven't even used twenty percent of my true strength," she spat indifferently.
