Chapter 198: Great War!
The Nether Palace!
Many people turned toward the barefoot young girl with curious looks.
The Nether Palace was part of the academy, but it was an organization clad in mystery. In fact, it was rare to see a member of the Nether Palace outside the palace, so most of the people here weren’t familiar with the Nether Palace.
Could the Nether Palace fight a thousand Divine Generals and multiple Giant Divine Spirits?
The young girl’s identity was Nether Maiden.
Moments later, the space behind her ripped open, and another young girl appeared.
The young girl was riding on a pig, and there was a large saber on her back. The incongruous sight was absurd, and everyone couldn’t help but cast astounded gazes on the young girl.
The pig beneath her exuded a powerful aura, and everyone could ascertain its age.
The pig took a few steps forward. The young girl glanced at Ye Guan before turning to look at Nether Maiden.
“That brat is Old Yang’s grandson?” she asked.
Nether Maiden looked down at Ye Guan and nodded in confirmation.
.
Meanwhile, the pig-riding young girl examined Ye Guan. She broke out into a smile and said, “What a young Great Sword Sovereign. Hehe, he seems to be more talented than his father and grandfather. He’s also much more handsome!”
“Where are the rest?” asked Nether Maiden.
The pig-riding young girl grinned and said, “They’re coming over.”
The Nether Maiden nodded gently and looked ahead. The massive Giant Divine Spirits were roaring fiercely and were rushing toward the two of them. They thrust their spears forward, and a wave of energy swept past the world.
A stern light flitted across the pig-riding young girl’s eyes. She took to the skies and slashed out with her long saber.
Shwaaa!
A three-kilometer-long saber light was unleashed, and the collision resulted in a deafening explosion. The surrounding kilometer of space crumbled and shattered as a result of the attack.
A Giant Divine Spirit was forced a few kilometers away, but the pig-riding young girl remained unscathed.
Lu Tian frowned deeply while the cultivators of the Guanxuan Academy rejoiced.
They could finally see hope!
Li Banzhi heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, she didn’t have that much knowledge of the Nether Palace.
Ye Xuan didn’t build the Nether Palace. It was older, as it was established during the era of Sword Master Qingshan. In other words, it wasn’t strange that those born during the Sword Master’s era weren’t familiar with the Nether Palace.
Li Banzhi wasn’t an exception to that, but she decided to ask the Nether Palace for assistance, as she was aware that they had been standing on the side of Ye Guan’s grandfather.
The Nether Palace’s prowess surprised even Li Banzhi.
Lu Tian directed a cold gaze at Ye Guan, but he didn’t make a move.
A voice echoed in Lu Tian’s ears. “Teacher, why don’t we kill Ye Guan first?”
The voice had come from the true Lu Tian.
Lu Tian’s eyes never left Ye Guan as he responded, “Someone hiding in the dark is staring at me, and they’re waiting for me to make a move.”
Someone in the dark? Who? Lu Tian was disturbed.
Lu Tian’s gaze pierced the starry skies, and a sinister smile soon appeared on his lips.
Meanwhile, the remaining Giant Divine Spirits let out a fierce roar. Their roars created a powerful soundwave attack capable of killing those with low cultivation bases.
The nine Giant Divine Spirits rushed toward the pig-riding young girl, but the space around them collapsed, creating a void that greedily devoured everything around it. The nine Giant Divine Spirits were helplessly immobilized by the void.
A young girl wearing a green skirt appeared in front of everyone.
She was the Boundary Maiden!
The young girl riding on the pig suddenly appeared beside the Boundary Maiden.
The leader of the Divine Generals saw that, and he ordered fiercely, “Kill them first!”
The nine Giant Divine Spirits stumbled their way out of the void, and they immediately charged toward the young girls once they were out of the void.
However, a multitude of golden lights suddenly pelted down on them from up above; the golden lights were like swords, and they sliced through space as they made quick work of the Divine Generals.
The leader of the Divine Generals was stupefied, but he quickly recovered his wits and yelled, “Retreat!”
Immediately afterward, a deafening boom echoed as the golden light struck a few hundred Divine Generals. A young girl that was shrouded in a golden hue stood at the edge of the beams of golden light, and she chased after the Divine Generals.
The temperature suddenly plummeted, and it seemed as if winter had arrived in the blink of an eye. A few hundred Divine Generals froze as ten thousand blades made out of ice swarmed them like locusts.
The blades made out of ice sliced the ice statues into innumerable chunks of ice.
The Divine Spirits hurriedly attempted to repair their fleshly bodies.
“Die!” a ferocious roar echoed, and the souls of the Divine Generals were reduced to nothingness.
The Oblivion Maiden was here. She swept a cool gaze at the remaining Divine Generals while petting a fox in her bosom.
The rest of the Divine Generals didn’t dare to advance anymore. They receded like a tide with fear plastered over their faces. The ten Giant Divine Spirits felt the same, but they bravely glared at the young girls standing next to each other.
The Nether Maiden, the pig-riding young girl, the Light Maiden, the Boundary Maiden, and the Ice Maiden stared coolly at the Divine Spirits.
“Don’t let them leave!” the Nether Maiden yelled.
The sisters rushed toward the Divine Spirits.
The leader of the Divine Generals yelled, “Stop them!”
The Divine Generals rushed to meet the young girls with the Giant Divine Spirits at the helm.
An intense battle ensured; space shook violently as cracks quickly formed across the surrounding spacetime.
Meanwhile, the battles inside Guanxuan Academy were no less fiercer than the battles outside. The Divine Spirits had dispatched their strongest warriors, so Li Banzhi didn’t allow those unqualified to participate in the battle.
She ordered them to retreat as quickly as possible.
One had to be an Ultimate Realm cultivator at the very least to be qualified to join the battles here. In other words, a cultivator below the Ultimate Realm would only be throwing their lives away if they were to stand against the Divine Spirits.
Boom!
A dazzling sword light briefly pervaded the air as a Divine King was forced at least a hundred meters away by Ye Guan’s sword.
The Divine King eventually came to a halt and looked down. He was surprised to see that his long spear had shattered. He frowned and cast a fearful glance at the sword in Ye Guan’s hand.
The gap between their cultivation bases should have allowed the Divine King to crush Ye Guan in the proverbial blink of an eye, but he couldn’t gain the upperhand over Ye Guan.
The Divine King was finally convinced that it was all because of Ye Guan’s sword—it was too strong.
This wasn’t the first time that the Divine King lost a spear in his battle against Ye Guan. In fact, the broken spear in his hand was the sixth spear that perished beneath Ye Guan’s sword.
Regardless of the spear’s rank, Ye Guan’s sword had destroyed them instantly and without fail in just one collision. The Divine King was aware that an extremely powerful divine sword existed in the Guanxuan Universe—the Qingxuan Sword.
However, Ye Guan’s sword couldn’t possibly be that sword.
Ye Guan’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He had been courageously fighting a Divine King by himself, but the gap between his physical realm, and his cultivation realm was simply too huge for him to surpass with just grit alone.
In addition, Ao Qianqian was no longer with him, so every sword move he performed consumed a ton of profound energy. If it hadn’t been for the Path Sword, he wouldn’t have been able to last this long against a Divine King.
At this point, there were fifteen Divine Kings around his area. Each one of them was unbelievably strong.
Ye Guan’s goal had been to kill the Divine King using the speed he had always been proud of, but his godly speed seemed mediocre at best in front of a Divine King.
All of a sudden, the Divine King in front of Ye Guan melted into nothingness.
Rip!
The spacetime in front of Ye Guan was torn open, and a Divine King emerged from it.
Ye Guan’s pupils constricted, and he hurriedly thrust his sword.
The Divine King ahead of Ye Guan had no choice but to defend himself, but a cold light flashed behind Ye Guan. Ye Guan’s blood ran cold as he realized that two Divine Kings had joined forces to attack him!
The Divine King in front of Ye Guan was just a distraction; the killing blow would come from the Divine King behind him.
The turn of events happened so fast that Ye Guan couldn’t find any way to avoid the oncoming attack.
Swoosh!
A figure abruptly appeared behind Ye Guan, and roughly ten thousand shadow-like projections flew toward the Divine King behind Ye Guan.
Boom!
The Divine King was sent flying away, and he left behind a trail of destruction as he flew into the distance.
Ye Guan whipped around and was surprised to find a young girl standing in front of him. The short-haired young girl was wearing a black dress, and she was facing away from him.
The short-haired young girl turned toward him. She stared at him intently before she eventually smiled and said, “Hello, I’m Shadow Maiden, and I’m your grandfather’s friend.”
My grandfather’s friend? Ye Guan was stunned. It seemed even his grandfather had many friends, just like his father.
The young girl chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
Ye Guan was startled, but he quickly composed himself and said, “Thank you.”
This wasn’t the time for him to act cool; he had to be humble and accept someone else’s help.
The Shadow Maiden saw Ye Guan’s reaction, and she was just about to say something when a rift in space suddenly manifested in the distance.
A figure emerged from the rit, and a resplendent golden light made out of the Great Dao pervaded the skies. A middle-aged man clad in golden armor soon appeared under everyone’s gazes.
A curved saber was on his waist, and his left hand was holding the curved saber. It was a peculiar weapon with many holes in it, but its pitch-black color instilled fear in everyone’s hearts.
The space around Guanxuan Academy distorted heavily. The Heavenly Dao of the Xiaoguan Continent worked hard to repair the space to no avail.
The middle-aged man was a Divine Emperor.
Li Banzhi glared at the middle-aged man, but she remained calm.
The middle-aged man’s gaze landed on Ye Guan.
His eyes narrowed as he roared, “So you’re the Sword Master’s son!”
He decisively stepped forward and swung his curved saber.
Rip!
A three-kilometer-long golden saber light manifested and pierced the skies, seemingly splitting both heaven and earth from each other.
Ye Guan’s pupils constricted, and his heart jumped. He couldn’t possibly defend himself against such an attack, so he decisively took Master Pagoda out of the tiny pagoda.
He couldn’t fight anymore, so he decided to leave the rest to Master Pagoda.
This little bastard is so mean… Little Pagoda sighed.
Ye Guan hugged Master Pagoda tightly as he stared at the oncoming saber light.
Bitterness filled his heart. He had just learned of his true identity, but his enemies had sent their cream of the crop elites to kill him.
Can’t they give me a chance?
The golden saber light was about to hit Ye Guan when a young girl wearing a white skirt appeared in front of him. The young girl’s hands were behind her back as she stared with an eerie calm at the oncoming golden saber light.
