I Have A Sword-Chapter 1339: Man in a Blue Shirt

Yi Nian!

Jing An stared at the girl in Plain-Skirt Destiny's arms, and her mind went completely blank as if she had been struck by lightning.

The Tianxing Universe was inside a special spacetime region somewhere within Ye Guan's tiny pagoda. Although Ye Guan couldn't enter the special spacetime region, the beings inside it could see the outside world.

Jing An could see the outside world!

In other words, she had witnessed Ye Guan's suffering, and like countless others, she had many questions.

Why was he being bullied so harshly?

Where was his aunt?

How come his grandfather had decided to leave him once again?

Why was the Yang Clan silent?

Why had Fan Zhaodi provoked both his aunt and his grandfather multiple times, yet neither of them had responded?

How come the True God willingly dispersed her cultivation base to start anew?

How come Clan Leader Jing decided to cooperate with the Evil Dao and suppress herself?

It all made sense now.

Fan Zhaodi... was actually Yi Nian!

"Fan Zhaodi" was actually one of their own all along!

***

The Great Daoist Brush Master looked as if all the blood had been drained from his body, and his face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He sat before his chessboard. His eyes were dull and lifeless as if his soul had left him.

Yi Nian!

He finally realized that Fan Zhaodi was Yi Nian all along.

No, to be precise, the real Fan Zhaodi had to have died a long time ago.

"Pfft! Hahaha!" The Great Daoist Brush Master suddenly laughed. He recalled that bet with Plain-Skirt Destiny and realized that he never had any chances of winning. After all, Fan Zhaodi had never been on his side.

She had always been on Ye Guan's side. He had exhausted every means and helped Fan Zhaodi grow just to fight Ye Guan. He suppressed the Ancestral Dao, made Fan Zhaodi devour a myriad beings, and he had even convinced the Virtuous Dao to merge with her.

And it was all for naught, as she had always been on Ye Guan's side.

His efforts were wasted, and Ye Guan reaped all the rewards.

It was over for him. He collapsed to the ground, and his face was pale as he murmured in despair, "True God, Clan Leader Jing... You two have really put on a great show."

***

After devouring Fan Zhaodi's cultivation, Ye Guan's heart became an Evil Dao Heart. It was covered in cracks, but he didn't dwell on it. He devoured the endless stream of Evil Dao energy and absorbed the power of the Virtuous Dao, which was an infinite source of power.

Since he was cultivating the Dao of Order, he could naturally assimilate all things, including the Evil Dao, and since Fan Zhaodi had already merged with Virtuous Dao, Ye Guan was devouring a complete fusion of good and evil.

In an instant, he shattered his limits, stepping into an entirely new realm.

He reached the Beyond Dao Realm! He was now a Supreme Emperor!

In this era of emperors, he was the one and only Supreme Emperor! At the very moment of his ascension, multicolored Dao Lotuses pervaded the firmament, covering the vast expanse.

Divine beasts and omens manifested, all rushing to bow before him.

Countless golden strands of Laws and Daos, formed from the very fabric of existence, descended from the heavens and headed straight to Ye Guan, signalling their willingness to submit.

At the same time, his Order Sword Intent resonated with the Heavenly Dao, sweeping across the Ten Desolate Universes.

A Supreme Emperor was here, and all Daos had to submit!

Under the overwhelming pressure of Ye Guan's sword energy, the Di Clan[1] experts fell to their knees. Even Di Ling was no exception despite his formidable cultivation base!

The Di Clan trembled in fear. A Supreme Emperor was here!

It had been one and a half billion years since the death of the previous Supreme Emperor. Since then, no Supreme Emperor had appeared within the Ten Desolate Universe and during the Era of Emperors.

The Di Clan never could have imagined that a new Supreme Emperor would appear before their very eyes today!

Across the Ten Desolate Universes and the Era of Emperors, countless experts raised their heads at the distant void, and their faces were filled with shock and awe.

A Supreme Emperor has emerged?!

For the Di Clan elders, this realization wasn't just shocking. It made them feel despair. The Supreme Emperor Clans let out wails of despair. Of course, after their initial grief, they immediately knelt down, expressing their submission.

A Supreme Emperor was invincible!

However, the ones who were truly in utter despair were the Di Clan members.

Even if they wanted to surrender, it was already too late.

How did this happen? They were just fighting, and somehow, the young swordsman before them suddenly became a Supreme Emperor?!

They were baffled. Wasn't the Evil Dao supposed to be invincible? How come she suddenly failed at the critical juncture? Was this all just a show?

They truly felt hopeless.

***

Inside the tiny pagoda, the Ancestral Dao was beyond ecstatic.

Although he was also curious about why Fan Zhaodi suddenly collapsed at the critical juncture, it didn't matter. What mattered was that Ye Guan had emerged victorious. Thankfully, he had chosen not to run away earlier!

The Ancestral Dao burst into laughter. I'm a genius!

***

Outside the Imperial City, Ye Guan closed his eyes. He could clearly feel it now. Everything was different. He was already a Supreme Emperor, yet his aura was still surging wildly, growing stronger at an exponential rate.

A Supreme Emperor? He could feel that this wasn't his limit. He looked up slowly, and his gaze pierced countless star fields and universe regions before finally landing on a desolate wasteland.

An ancient clan was within that wasteland, and they were none other than the Jun Clan! They were also a Supreme Emperor Clan, as they had once produced a Supreme Emperor.

The ancient clan was at least several times stronger than the Di Clan. Within their ranks, Ye Guan could sense at least ten Half-Step Beyond Dao Realm experts. Their auras were also unimaginably strong, far stronger than Di Ling's.

Within the Jun Clan, an ancient voice echoed. "Greetings, Supreme Emperor!"

Every single expert within the Jun Clan knelt and trembled uncontrollably.

Ye Guan's will lingered in the skies above the Jun Clan for just a brief moment before vanishing.

Once Ye Guan was gone, the Jun Clan's experts finally dared to exhale in relief.

Deep within the Jun Clan's residence, an elder who had been kneeling slowly looked up with a complicated face. He could no longer see Ye Guan.

Ye Gun had become an unfathomable existence. As long as he willed it, no one could see through him.

The kneeling elder stared into the endless void and whispered, "I wonder what kind of Supreme Emperor he is..."

***

Ye Guan continued his journey, and his will traveled across star fields until it arrived in an entirely new universe region, the Ten Desolate Universe!

Within this boundless expanse, Ye Guan could see countless mighty clans and ancient creatures. Although no Supreme Emperors resided here, the power of the beings in this universe far surpassed the average strength of the Jun Clan's experts.

Some of the ancient creatures here were so massive that they coiled around star systems, and their mere breaths made the star fields around them tremble in trepidation.

When the experts of the Ten Desolate Universe sensed Ye Guan's presence, they dropped to their knees, and their voices were filled with reverence as they cried out, "Greetings, Supreme Emperor!"

Even the ancient creatures opened their eyes. At first, they were shocked, and their faces became complicated.

Finally, they rose to their feet, and the stars quivered around them. Then, they too knelt and said, "Greetings, Supreme Emperor!"

They had submitted!

These creatures were extremely close to becoming Supreme Emperors, each of them comparable to an entire ancient Supreme Emperor Clan, but they had no choice but to bow, for a true Supreme Emperor had arrived!

Ye Guan's will did not linger in the Ten Desolate Universe. Instead, he continued deeper into the vast expanse. In an instant, his will traversed billions of star fields.

Along the way, he encountered countless barriers, but they were meaningless to him. His will easily pierced through them effortlessly. Every Law and Dao that came into contact with his will ended up submitting to him.

He was now a Supreme Emperor and was unrivalled across a million universe regions!

He sought to find the true edge of the vast expanse.

Soon, his consciousness arrived in an endless desert. Amidst the desert, a white-haired man was riding a black horse. There was a long saber in his hand, and a long spear was strapped to his back. He looked just like a general, but his eyes were hollow as if he had lost his soul.

Just then, he sensed something and looked up. His saber flew out as well!

However, the attack wasn't aimed at Ye Guan's will. It pierced it and crossed an endless distance to slash at Ye Guan's true body!

Ye Guan raised two fingers and pointed at it. A single ray of sword light instantly suppressed the oncoming saber attack. Then, he pressed on, continuing his journey through the vast expanse.

In the desert, as Ye Guan's divine sense faded, the white-haired man lowered his gaze. His saber returned to his grasp. Still atop his black horse, he rode aimlessly through the barren desert. Like a wandering soul, he drifted eternally.

Ye Guan's will sped through the starry skies, traversing through countless star fields in the blink of an eye. Soon, he arrived in a vast, pitch-black universe. Amidst the darkness, he saw an old man with a hammer.

He was busy smashing his hammer on something.

Ye Guan saw that the old man was hammering a small sphere. The elder opened his palm, and the sphere floated into the distance, growing larger and larger, until it became a star.

The old man was forging stars!

The old man turned his head. He didn't look at Ye Guan's will. Instead, his gaze pierced an unimaginable distance to lock onto Ye Guan's true body.

Then, the old man smiled and said, "So a Supreme Emperor has finally emerged from the human race, and a swordsman at that. Congratulations, fellow Daoist."

Ye Guan smiled in return. "Thank you."

The old man withdrew his gaze and continued forging stars.

Ye Guan's will pressed forward. Along the way, he saw countless races, civilizations, and mysterious experts. Yet, not a single one could challenge him.

On the contrary, every civilization and top-tier expert he encountered treated him with the utmost respect, making him feel invincible!

This time, however, it wasn't just a feeling. It was real. He was indeed invincible.

What was even more astonishing was the fact that his aura was still growing stronger. Among Supreme Emperors, there were varying levels of strength. The Virtuous Dao and the Evil Dao had submitted to his Order, so he was much stronger compared to the average Supreme Emperor.

As his will continued its journey across the vast expanse, he came across a blood-red planet. He saw billions of soul corpses dressed in pitch-black armor marching in perfect formation on the blood-red planet.

There were thirty-six silver-armored soul corpses at the helm of the formation, and each one of them had taken more than just half a step into the Beyond Dao Realm.

Leading these thirty-six silver-armored soul corpses were two gold-armored soul corpses, and each of them had a long saber in hand. Their auras were more than ten times stronger than the silver-armored warriors behind them.

Finally, a young lady stood at the helm of all these soul corpses. She looked petite and was dressed in a floral-patterned dress, and her delicate features made her resemble a painting.

A blood-red bell was in her hand, and she would shake it twice every two steps.

Just then, the gold-armored soul corpses behind her suddenly lifted their heads. Their eyes flickered with black flames as their gaze locked onto Ye Guan.

With just a single glance, their gaze appeared before Ye Guan's true body. Both of them pressed their fingers against their sword hilts, and their auras surged as they got ready to draw their blades.

Ye Guan narrowed his eyes. "Hmm?"

The young lady glanced at the two gold-armored soul corpses and reprimanded, "You're staring at a Supreme Emperor. You must show some respect."

The two gold-armored soul corpses immediately calmed down.

The young lady turned to face Ye Guan. Placing her right hand on her left shoulder, she performed a unique salute and said, "Fellow Daoist, my subordinates were ignorant. Please forgive them."

Fellow Daoist? Ye Guan looked at her and smiled. Instead of addressing him as Supreme Emperor, she addressed him as a "Fellow Daoist." How interesting.

"I was just passing by," he said with a chuckle.

With that, his will vanished.

The young lady looked up and frowned. "A sword?"

Then, without warning, she kicked the gold-armored soul corpse beside her and scolded, "Are you trying to get yourself killed? Haven't I told you before? While we're in the outside world, don't ever provoke a Supreme Emperor! Anything else is fair game!"

She huffed and glared fiercely at the gold-armored soul corpses. Then, she turned toward the endless starry sky, and a trace of confusion flased in her eyes. "How could a Supreme Emperor suddenly appear? And he wasn't just a Supreme Emperor, but a Sword Emperor specializing in slaughter..."

The young lady shook her head and continued forward. Every two steps, she would shake the bell in her hand and say, "The dead shall forward, and the living shall step aside... except for a Supreme Emperor."

***

Ye Guan's will pressed forward once more, travelling across countless star fields.

Just then, he stopped upon noticing strange figures in the distance.

One of them was wearing a blue shirt, while the other was dressed in a white long robe. There was also a young woman wearing ripped jeans with headphones over her ears and a fluffy, white creature in her arms.

1. previously translated as 'Imperial Clan' it's confusing to say 'the Imperial Clan is a Supreme Emperor Clan,' so we decided to change it to 'Di Clan' this makes sense because their surnames are 'Di' like 'Di Ling' and 'Di Cheng' Thank you for your understanding ☜
