Chapter 512: Next Life
A sharp, tearing sound echoed throughout the battlefield.
Ye Guan had vanished, but the faces of the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Time Reversers changed drastically because they could feel a terrifying aura from somewhere.
Ye Guan\'s sword attack was unprecedentedly stronger than the ones he had executed before!
Under everyone\'s shocked gazes, Ye Guan unleashed a sword move containing three Heavenrends with maximum stacks condensed into three Sword Overlapsall in one sword move!
This one sword move represented Ye Guan\'s limits. More accurately, it represented the limits of what he could achieve with Ao Qianqian inside of him.
An incomparably radiant light erupted, and the faces of everyone changed drastically.
The Great Sword Sovereign was in the middle of a breakthrough, and she wouldn\'t be able to withstand the oncoming sword attack. The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Time Reversers couldn\'t help her at all; the attack was just too strong for them to do anything in time.
The Great Sword Sovereign\'s pupils constricted, and she went beyond pallid in the face of the oncoming sword attack. She knew that there was no way she could block the oncoming attack!
If she were allowed to make a breakthrough, the oncoming sword attack wouldn\'t be a threat to her at all. However, she was still in the middle of a breakthrough, so the sword attack was certainly capable of taking her life.
Unfortunately, Ye Guan had no plans of allowing her to make a breakthrough.
Just a few seconds more, and she\'d be able to defy fate and reach new heights. It was a pity, but Ye Guan was not going to give her that chance.
In the face of certain death, the Great Sword Sovereign didn\'t choose to stand idly by. She flicked her wrist and was about to attack Ye Guan with her sword, but Ye Guan suddenly whipped around, redirecting his attack toward the distant starry sky.
Boom!
A vast expanse of stars were annihilated at once!
What\'s going on? The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Time Reversers frowned, looking bewildered. What is Ye Guan trying to do here?
The Great Sword Sovereign was puzzled as well, and she watched as Ye Guan\'s face became as pale as a sheet of paper. Ye Guan\'s all-out attack just now had truly pushed him to his limits, and he felt utterly exhausted.
The Great Sword Sovereign glared at him. "What are you doing?"
Ye Guan wiped away the blood at the corner of his lips. "I\'m letting you make a breakthrough."
The Great Sword Sovereign\'s glare became fierce. "Are you mocking me?"
An overwhelming sword force enveloped Ye Guan.
Ye Guan\'s expression remained calm as he replied, "You saved me once from an ambush earlier. I\'m simply returning the favor. We don\'t owe each other anything anymore."
The Great Sword Sovereign was still glaring quietly at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan was extremely weak at the moment, and he could no longer stand up properly. He had truly exhausted all of his strength just to unleash that cataclysmic sword move earlier.
He was so exhausted that just about any Time Reverser here could easily kill him!
Ye Guan stared blandly at the Great Sword Sovereign.
The Great Sword Sovereign said, "You know that if you don\'t kill me now, you will no longer be a match for me once I make a breakthrough."
"I know that," Ye Guan said with a nod.
"Then why did you give up on that sword attack earlier?"
"As I said, you saved me once, so I was simply returning the favor."
"That\'s all?"
"What other reason would I have?"
"We\'re fighting a life-or-death battle here."
"Yes, we are, but I don\'t think you\'re wrong."
"What do you mean?"
"There\'s no right or wrong between us. We simply have different ideologies."
The Great Sword Sovereign was slightly stunned, and her eyes became filled with complicated emotions as she stared at Ye Guan. The Time Reversers were surprised as well upon hearing him.
No right or wrong, just different ideologies?
The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign looked at Ye Guan with a complicated expression as well. "He he is truly outstanding. No wonder the True God chose him."
The Warlord Sovereign looked at Ye Guan without saying a word.
Ye Guan was at his weakest. Anyone could easily kill him, but no one was doing it.
Soon, the Great Sword Sovereign made a breakthrough, and her aura surged to an unprecedented levelfar surpassing the aura of the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Warlord Sovereign.
Her lifespan had increased as well. It wasn\'t much, but she could live for several thousands of years more at the very least.
It had to be known that she was left with less than a hundred years to live before her breakthrough. Out of all the Time Reversers here, she had obtained the most profit.
Every Time Reverser here looked at her with envy, including the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Warlord Sovereign. In their eyes, an additional thousands of years of lifespan was priceless. It was akin to hope and endless possibilities.
After all, who wouldn\'t want to transcend the Great Dao?
The other Sovereigns were truly envious.
The Great Sword Sovereign opened her eyes slowly, and the powerful sword intent that billowed out of her was both rigid and soft, restrained and sharp. Her sword intent had gone through a qualitative transformation.
The Great Sword Sovereign\'s gaze fell on Ye Guan just then.
Ye Guan lay down and said, "Go ahead!"
Ye Guan had truly reached his limits. He could no longer fight.
Am I going to die just like this? Ye Guan felt indignant, but there wasn\'t anything he could do about it. He placed his left hand over his chest and felt Ao Qianqian\'s presence.
"Qianqian I\'m sorry," Ye Guan apologized softly.
He owed Ao Qianqian a lot in this lifetime. Ao Qianqian would either sustain heavy injuries or would be on the verge of death every time she merged with him. That was how her life had been since they signed that contract.
She had been suffering instead of enjoying her life.
"We\'re husband and wife, and we are one. No need to apologize."
Ye Guan smiled slightly. "You\'re right. If there\'s another life wait for me. I\'m going to recognize you instantly."
"It\'s a deal."
Ye Guan opened his eyes slowly and looked up at the starry skies.
"This life has been too exhausting. If there\'s another lifeForget it; it\'s fine even if there isn\'t another lifetime" Ye Guan closed his eyes once again. The two bloodlines inside of him seemed to have sensed something and calmed down.
Since the fight started, Ye Guan had never thought of calling for help.
The Great Sword Sovereign stared quietly at Ye Guan, and everyone\'s eyes were on her. A single flick of her wrist was enough to kill Ye Guan, so they waited patiently for her to make a move.
Finally, the Great Sword Sovereign walked up to Ye Guan. She bent down and hoisted him on her shoulder before transforming into a ray of sword light that disappeared into the Time River with Ye Guan.
The faces of the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Time Reversers changed.
"Stop her!" roared the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign. The other Sovereigns rushed to the sky, making a beeline for the Great Sword Sovereign. However, a ray of sword light flew out of the Time River just then.
Boom!
The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the other Sovereigns were blasted away. The Time Reversers came to a screeching halt at the sight, and they dared not chase after the Great Sword Sovereign.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign\'s face turned ugly. He didn\'t expect that the Great Sword Sovereign would carry Ye Guan away, sparing his life rather than killing him!
What is she trying to do here? Is she crazy? The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign lampooned inwardly before setting aside his thoughts and shouting, "Chase her!"
The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign took the lead, rushing to the skies with the Warlord Sovereign and the Baixiang Sovereign. The remaining Time Reversers charged into the Time River as well.
The Great Sword Sovereign traveled with Ye Guan for a long time before putting Ye Guan down.
Ye Guan looked at her with a gaze full of puzzlement. "Why are you doing this?"
The Great Sword Sovereign\'s gaze was calm as she said, "Go on."
"Why are you doing this?" Ye Guan asked once again.
"Just because," the Great Sword Sovereign replied.
Ye Guan fell silent.
"Still not leaving?"
"Why don\'t you help me instead?"
"Fat chance!" the Great Sword Sovereign exclaimed.
Ye Guan was at a loss for words.
The Great Sword Sovereign shook her head and said, "I prefer a world without order, so I won\'t help you. Your mercy has allowed me to make a breakthrough, extending my lifespan. As such, I no longer need to kill you. We\'re now even as well."
Ye Guan contemplated briefly before nodding. "I understand."
Then, Ye Guan turned around to leave.
"Wait!" the Great Sword Sovereign exclaimed.
Ye Guan turned back to look at her, slightly confused.
The Great Sword Sovereign stared at Ye Gun and said, "The Ancient Clan will be arriving shortly, and it is a very powerful clan."
"How powerful?" Ye Guan asked.
"You need more than just that woman in a black dress to resist them."
Ye Guan\'s expression darkened. Even Aunt Qingqing isn\'t strong enough to stop them? This is absurd. Why are they even targeting me like this?
Ye Guan couldn\'t help but feel that everything was getting more and more ridiculous.
The Clan Leader of the Past Clan was a lunatic, and she really wanted to kill Ye Guan.
"Aside from the Ancient Clan, there are other major ancient clans that may have been persuaded by the Clan Leader of the Past Clan, so you should be mentally prepared."
Ye Guan\'s expression soured, but he remained silent.
The Great Sword Sovereign suddenly asked, "What happened to her?"
At first, the Great Sword Sovereign thought that the woman in the black dress was lurking in the shadows to assist Ye Guan during a pinch. However, the woman in the black dress didn\'t show up at all, even as Ye Guan had laid down his life.
Ye Guan shook his head slightly without saying anything. He turned around to leave but turned around once more after taking a few steps.
"What is your name?" Ye Guan asked.
The Great Sword Sovereign looked at him for a while before replying, "Gu Nanrong!"
Ye Guan nodded. "Lady Nanrong, until we meet again."
Ye Guan turned around and finally left.
Gu Nanrong watched quietly as Ye Guan disappeared into the distance. Eventually, she turned around to leave, but she sensed something and turned to the distant Time River. Gu Nanrong\'s expression drastically at the scene that unfolded before her.
