Chapter 794: He Got Thrashed
The previous battle had yielded significant gains for him. The aura around Ye Guan grew stronger, gradually distorting the surrounding spacetime.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Guan opened his eyes, and sword lights flashed in his pupils.
Boom!
A terrifying aura surged from Ye Guan, distorting the surrounding spacetime.
Thirty percent divinity! Ye Guan took a deep breath, and then he exclaimed, "Master Pagoda, I made a breakthrough!"
Little Pagoda replied, "Congratulations."
Ye Guan said softly, "It seems I should use the Qingxuan Sword sparingly."
Whenever he used the Qingxuan Sword, he\'d kill his opponents in an instant, but it was useless for his cultivation base.
A life-and-death battle was far more useful to Ye Guan, as it would push his potential to the limit.
The recent battle with the hundred percent divinity expert had shown him his current level of combat power. He was walking on the Invincible Sword Dao, so he was destined to have only a few matches even if he wasn\'t invincible yet.
Ye Guan really wanted to fight a powerful expert without any external help.
Ye Guan chuckled and exclaimed, "Master Pagoda, I want to get beaten up!"
Little Pagoda replied, "I remember your father becoming as arrogant as you are right now, and do you know what happened to him?"
Ye Guan was curious, "What happened?"
"He got thrashed."
Ye Guan. "..."
"It\'s natural to become arrogant after a power boost like a nouveau riche suddenly getting wealthy and becoming conceited. However, that state is extremely dangerous, as arrogance can cloud one\'s judgment, leading to complacency. A complacent person cannot improve any further as well," Little Pagoda said. Then, he added, "Don\'t think that I\'m just spouting a bunch of nonsense here. I want you to become even stronger. Your father and grandfather had each experienced what you are going through right now, but their arrogance lasted only three days, especially your father, who had it really rough at the time."
Ye Guan smiled, "I know what you\'re trying to say, and don\'t worry, I\'ll be humble always. My goal is the stars and the sea, not the small pond before me."
Little Pagoda said, "It seems you\'ve truly become outstanding under my tutelage."
"???" Ye Guan was confused. However, he still proceeded to compliment Little Pagoda. After a few rounds of compliments, Ye Guan took to the sky and found himself in a sea of clouds, where Ao Qianqian was cultivating in seclusion. She was currently trying to break through to the Divine Path Realm. She had mentioned that a dragon would find it harder to make breakthroughs the higher their cultivation base, but it meant Ao Qianqian would be drastically more powerful than cultivators on the same cultivation base as her.
Ao Qianqian was among the few who could keep up with him back then.
Ye Guan softly said, "I wonder how Brother Ye Qing is doing right now."
Little Pagoda replied, "The Great Daoist Brush Master is guiding him, so he must be doing great."
Ye Guan smiled. "True."
Not wanting to disturb Ao Qianqian, Ye Guan went to find Yi Nian.
Yi Nian was still exploring the special spacetime within the pagoda. The spacetime around her would sometimes shatter into pieces fragments, and Yi Nian\'s figure would also shatter into countless pieces along with the spacetime around her.
Ye Guan stared at her in astonishment.
All of a sudden, the spacetime around Yi Nian returned to normal.
Yi Nian walked up to Ye Guan and extended her tiny hand with a grin.
Ye Guan smiled and handed her a sugar-coated hawthorn lollipop.
Yi Nian\'s face lit up with joy; she unwrapped it carefully and started licking it.
Ye Guan wanted to ask Yi Nian some questions about the Dao of Time, but he decided against it eventually.
He was a bit afraid of getting humbled by Yi Nian! He could still remember when Yi Nian had to him to get a brain transplant for him to become even smarter.
Before Ye Guan could retreat, however, Yi Nian pulled Ye Guan to sit down with her. Then, she took out a small black notebook and opened it, revealing pages filled with a variety of bizarre symbols.
Ye Guan looked puzzled.
Yi Nian took out a pen and pointed at the symbols, explaining, "Assume time equals T, space equals V, and matter equals M. In any given space, matter occupies a certain amount of it. Therefore, if we want to control time, we must subtract matter, which means V minus M. Additionally, besides matter, there is also the force of time within any given space. We must account for the resistance of the force of time, which varies in each time segment. Thus, we need to calculate the time resistance S for each segment, so T minus S. After obtaining the result, we also need to calculate an individual\'s spacetime velocity, which is H..."
Yi Nian turned to look at Ye Guan and asked, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Ye Guan remained silent.
Yi Nian pouted slightly. "This is the simplest I can get. It\'s very difficult to dumb this down any further."
"Actually..." Ye Guan muttered, "I kind of understand it."
Yi Nian immediately beamed with joy. "Great, then I\'ll continue. When talking about time, space, and matter, we can\'t ignore the laws behind them. Suppose..."
"There are enemies!" Ye Guan exclaimed and looked up. Then, he immediately left the world inside the tiny pagoda.
A dumbfounded Yi Nian was left behind.
Outside the pagoda, Ye Guan solemnly asked, "Master Pagoda, is she really from a Tier Four civilization?"
Little Pagoda replied, "Did you not understand what she was explaining?"
Ye Guan looked exasperated as he asked, "Did you understand?"
"I understood the general idea."
Ye Guan was taken aback. "What was she saying?"
"She was explaining how to manipulate time."
"And then?"
"That\'s it."
"..."
Ye Guan\'s mind was racing in an effort to decipher Yi Nian\'s explanation.
Her knowledge of time manipulation was profound, and he recognized the potential of her words, even though he couldn\'t understand them. He resolved to try and understand once the oncoming enemy was dealt with.
"Fuck!" Ye Guan\'s face darkened.
Rumble!
The spacetime behind Ye Guan trembled slightly. Soon, an old man in black robes emerged from the shifting spacetime. He was a full divinity expert!
Ye Guan gave the old man a once-over. “Asura Civilization?”
The old man in black stared at Ye Guan, “I’ve heard you possess the heritage of a tier four universe civilization. Is that true?”
Ye Guan frowned. “You’re not from the Asura Civilization.”
The old man in black’s figure suddenly turned ethereal, and countless black stone pillars appeared around Ye Guan in the blink of an eye.
He was trapped before he could react. Moments later, a myriad of black lightning bolts burst out of the pillars, engulfing Ye Guan in an instant.
For a brief moment, everything was silent!
Buzz!
The silence was shattered by a sword’s resonant hum that reverberated throughout the heavens and earth. Then, a sword light sliced through the clump of black lightning and made a beeline for the old man in black.
The old man in black\'s eyes narrowed. He flicked his sleeve, and a black light confronted the sword strike head-on.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion reverberated, and the two were blasted away.
Ye Guan was the first to recover. He looked at the distant old man in black. Then, his figure trembled as he took to the sky and transformed into a ten-thousand-meter-long sword light, slashing toward the old man in black with immense force.
The sky and earth were torn apart, leaving behind a gigantic fissure in the air!
The old man in black\'s eyes flashed with a solemn light. He initially thought that the youth before him would be easy to handle as he was only at thirty percent divinity. However, he realized that he had grossly underestimated the young swordsman’s strength!
Not daring to be careless any longer, the old man stepped forward; his figure quivered, and he threw a powerful punch. A myriad of black lightning bolts took to the sky.
It was another head-on confrontation!
Boom!
Countless sword lights and lightning bolts exploded, creating shockwaves that obliterated the surrounding space, reducing it to an empty void.
The black-robed old man had just come to a halt when a sword of intent suddenly appeared before him without any warning. The sword\'s sudden appearance was too eerie, causing the old man\'s face to change drastically. Fortunately, his reaction was swift. The moment the sword appeared, a black lightning shield materialized in front of him.
Bang!
The shield was instantly shattered by the sword, and in the next moment, another sword was already upon him. Not only that, countless sword intent appeared simultaneously around the old man!
The myriad of sword intent manifested without any prior indication!
The old man in black started panicking. He clenched his hands tightly, and streams of lightning continuously surged out from him.
For a moment, the entire sky and earth were filled with thunderous booms.
Boom...
Countless lightning bolts and sword lights shattered and then transformed into terrifying energy waves that rippled outward.
The starry sky up above had become a wasteland!
The old man in black retreated several thousand meters before stopping, and as soon as he did, his figure was covered in numerous cracks, with blood slowly oozing out from them.
In the distance, Ye Guan stood with his sword, his battle intent raging.
Just as Ye Guan was about to strike again, the old man in black urgently called out, “Wait!”
Ye Guan paused, frowning as he looked at the old man in black, “What?”
The old man in black stared at Ye Guan with an extremely ugly expression. “Are you really only at thirty percent divinity?”
Ye Guan laughed. “Is there any reason to doubt it?”
The old man in black hesitated before saying, “Not long ago, a mysterious signal began broadcasting throughout the vast expanse, claiming you possess items from a Tier Four universe civilization. Furthermore, the signal source is updating your location in real-time...”
Ye Guan frowned. “Who did that?”
The old man shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Ye Guan’s face turned grim.
Was it the Asura Civilization? Ye Guan asked again, “When did this start?”
The old man replied, “About ten days ago.”
Ye Guan narrowed his eyes. That was when he first entered the Asura Civilization, so it couldn\'t be the Asura Civilization.
Could it be the Junlin Civilization? Or the civilization where that man wielding a saber is from? Both are possible!
The old man in black suddenly cupped his fist and earnestly said, “I had no idea that you were so formidable. I apologize for offending you.”
With that, he voluntarily removed his storage ring and suspended it in the air before him. Then, he turned around to flee.
There was an unspoken rule of the cultivation world—those who surrender ought to be spared!
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
