I Have A Sword-Chapter 564: This Dao, I Ask You To Break!

Draw your swords!

"All right!" The man in blue burst out into laughter and flicked his sleeve, sending a streak of sword light flying toward Clan Leader Jing.

Clan Leader Jing remained calm. The next moment, her lips parted. "Immobilize!"

Boom!

The man in blue's sword curved in mid-air and unexpectedly pinned itself to the ground.

It happened the moment Clan Leader Jing's words echoed through the air.

"Shatter!" Clan Leader Jing exclaimed.

Boom!

The Sword Precursor trembled violently and cracked!

The man in blue laughed boisterously. His figure blurred as he transformed into a streak of sword light that rushed toward Clan Leader Jing.

Clan Leader Jing narrowed her eyes. "Annihilate!"

Boom!

The Time River was set ablaze—no, it wasn't just the Time River; thousands of Great Daos were burning as well!

Meanwhile, the Temple Master had already decided to run away the moment the battle erupted. If he hadn't run earlier, he wouldn't have been unable to run away forever.

A streak of sword light shattered thousands of Great Daos, making a beeline for Clan Leader Jing. The man in blue's sword light remained unstoppable amidst the sea of flames created by the burning of Great Daos.

Clan Leader Jing's eyes—one black and one white—narrowed into slits. She clenched her right hand behind her and exclaimed, "Tribulation!"

Boom!

A vast sea of tribulations manifested, and every single tribulation contained a terrifying power that seemed capable of destroying star fields. To make matters worse, the tribulations didn't belong to this vast expanse!

However, the man in blue's streak of sword remained unstoppable.

When the streak of sword light was just half a meter away from Clan Leader Jing, she closed her eyes abruptly and exclaimed, "Dao!"

Rumble!

An illusory hand manifested and grabbed the sword light....

The illusory hand contained an inscrutable power that made even time come to a screeching halt!

Sifan Jing opened her eyes slowly and muttered, "I hereby open a Dao of my own—a Dao beyond the three thousand Great Daos. This Dao, I ask you to break it!"

...

The Temple Master escaped the Time River with a group of Divine Knights. They fled nonstop until they finally made it back to the Temple of the Gods. Upon returning to the temple, the Temple Master entered a secret chamber.

He sat in front of five divine statues for several days without uttering a peep.

Divine power!

The Temple Master had initiated three divine wars since taking over the Temple of the Gods, and they all ended in failure. The Temple Master couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. How come he had failed every time so far? Was it because the gods were too weak to ensure success, or had the gods never exerted their full power?

To be honest, his faith in the gods was beginning to waver.

Were the gods truly invincible and omnipotent?

Were the gods truly the creators of the universes throughout the vast expanse?

If that were the case, how could those two swordsmen shatter their divine power?

And what about the former Clan Leader of the Past Clan, Clan Leader Jing?

The Temple Master felt somewhat lost as he stared at the statues of the gods before him.

"Temple Master." Bishop Yuan's voice abruptly echoed from the outside.

Snapping out of his thoughts, the Temple Master glanced at the five statues of gods before turning around to leave the chamber.

Bishop Yuan bowed slightly and said, "The divine war..."

The Temple Master calmly replied, "They managed to escape."

"Escaped?" Bishop Yuan was taken aback, seemingly unable to comprehend it.

The Temple Master nodded slightly and said, "They were extremely fast, and we couldn't catch up."

The truth of their defeat couldn't be revealed. Some matters needed to be handled discreetly. Otherwise, the faith system of the Realm of the Gods would collapse, which would be a disaster for the Temple of the Gods.

Bishop Yuan's face darkened. He didn't expect that the two swordsmen would actually be able to escape the Temple Master's pursuit.

The Temple Master stared at Bishop Yuan and said, "I will seclude myself for a period of time. You will have full authority over the Temple of the Gods while I am in seclusion."

With that, the Temple Master turned around and left. The Temple Master had many burning questions that needed answers. The Old Era that even the Divine Book had no records about was especially concerning. Most importantly, the Temple Master had to know the reason behind the gods' disappearance.

The Temple Master had to reaffirm his faith. He had never considered betraying his gods, as they had helped him in his most desperate times. He wouldn't betray the gods, but he wanted to know the truth.

Bishop Yuan froze in place, wanting to ask something, but the Temple Master had already left. Bishop Yuan frowned. His intuition was telling him that something was amiss. What exactly had happened during the recent divine war?

Just as Bishop Yuan was about to fall into deep contemplation, an old man suddenly appeared behind him. The old man bowed respectfully and said, "Bishop, there's a report. Two extremely talented students have emerged from the Divine Academy"

Bishop Yuan was curious, "Extremely talented?"

"Yes."

"How talented are they again?"

"Extremely talented."

"Train them well," Bishop Yuan said with a nod. Then, he seemed to have recalled something and asked once again, "Have they found the whereabouts of that lady in white and the Sword Master?"

"We are still investigating."

Bishop Yuan's eyes narrowed. "Tell them to pick up the pace and keep a close eye on Ye Guan."

The old man bowed and left.

...

Meanwhile, Ye Guan was still locked in a fierce battle against White-Skirt Destiny in the world inside the tiny pagoda. The two had been battling for months; more and more Mortal Veins had been appearing on Ye Guan's fleshly body. His Mortal Bloodline had also become stronger to the point that even the Mad Demon Bloodline could no longer suppress it completely.

Ye Guan's combat prowess was off the charts, and it was all due to the fact that he had been fighting while mad. It was his first time maintaining such a state of mind for such a long time.

It had to be known that the madness of the Mad Demon Bloodline had the special characteristic of strengthening him endlessly. Moreover, Ye Guan also had the Mortal Bloodline and the Phoenix Emperor Bloodline, which provided him with strength.

Ye Guan's strength had reached a terrifying level, but White-Skirt Destiny was still fighting him as if she were an adult fighting a baby. She seemed to be growing stronger alongside Ye Guan, and she didn't allow Ye Guan to surpass her at all.

Just then, White-Skirt Destiny forced Ye Guan to retreat with a sword strike.

Ye Guan flew backward, and White-Skirt Destiny swiftly closed the distance between them, appearing right in front of Ye Guan. Ye Guan attempted to attack, but a terrifying sword intent enveloped him.

Boom!

Ye Guan was instantly suppressed!

White-Skirt Destiny placed her right hand on Ye Guan's shoulder and pressed down.

The three bloodlines within Ye Guan were instantly suppressed, but shockingly, the three bloodlines actually fought back, forcing back White-Skirt Destiny's sword intent.

A hint of astonishment flashed in White-Skirt Destiny's eyes.

Ye Guan's strength had brought her many surprises, and his bloodlines had astounded her the most, as they seemed capable of providing Ye Guan with an endless stream of power.

White-Skirt Destiny reckoned that Ye Guan would become even stronger until the battle was over. In the end, White-Skirt Destiny had no choice but to take Ye Guan seriously.

It was worth noting that Ye Guan wasn't merged with Ao Qianqian. Once the two were merged, Ye Guan's prowess would skyrocket once again.

White-Skirt Destiny suppressed the three bloodlines within Ye Guan.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Guan's demeanor returned to normal.

Ye Guan opened his eyes slowly and stood up straight upon seeing White-Skirt Destiny.

He looked down at himself and saw that he was covered with many different strange patterns. Ye Guan looked up at White-Skirt Destiny and asked, "Aunt, what happened to me?"

White-Skirt Destiny replied, "It's ninety percent complete."

Ye Guan was stunned. "Ninety percent complete?"

White-Skirt Destiny nodded and stared at the patterns on Ye Guan. "Feel it for yourself."

Ye Guan closed his eyes and clenched his right hand into a fist.

Boom!

Ye Guan instantly felt the existence of extreme power inside him. It surged from within him, billowing out like the wind. The power seemed endless, and he felt like he had just activated the Mad Demon Bloodline, even though it was currently inactive.

Mortal Power!

Ye Guan exclaimed, "Aunt, is this the legendary Mortal Power?!"

White-Skirt Destiny nodded. "Yeah, kinda."

Ye Guan sensed something amiss in White-Skirt Destiny's words, "Kinda?"

White-Skirt Destiny smiled, "Your Mortal Bloodline is inherited; you were not enlightened to it yourself. In other words, it's an "acquired" Mortal Bloodline, not an innate Mortal Bloodline.

"There's a huge difference between your Mortal Bloodline and her Mortal Bloodline."

Ye Guan fell silent. He had never really thought about that. His aunt had risen to fight the heavens, and her efforts had resulted in her obtaining the Mortal Bloodline and a Mortal Physique. In contrast, he hadn't done anything extraordinary, but he still ended up with a Mortal Bloodline.

Ye Guan couldn't help but think that his Mortal Bloodline was a watered-down version of his aunt's Mortal Bloodline.

Mortal Bloodline: "..."

At first, it was just an assumption, but White-Skirt Destiny's words convinced Ye Guan that there was a huge difference between his Mortal Bloodline and his Plain-Skirt Aunt's Mortal Bloodline.

White-Skirt Destiny added, "The reason your Mortal Physique hasn't truly reached its peak is that it's still lacking something, but I don't know exactly what it needs to reach the peak. It's just a feeling, but... fighting won't allow us to take that final step..."

"What if I need enlightenment to take that step?" Ye Guan asked.

"Enlightenment?" White-Skirt Destiny was stunned.

"I can also feel that my physique and bloodline have encountered a bottleneck. I think fighting and cultivating isn't enough to squeeze through that bottleneck.

"I think it's similar to my Mad Demon Bloodline. I need to become 'mad' for the bloodline to unleash its true power. Perhaps this Mortal Bloodline needs something like that as well..." Ye Guan said.

White-Skirt Destiny smiled. "Well, it's all on you to find out."

"Back when I met Aunt Plain Skirt Destiny, I really regret not asking her for advice," Ye Guan remarked, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Plain-Skirt Destiny!

Ye Guan wondered whether she had managed to escape from the clutches of the Evil Dao or not, and an inexplicable pressure bored down on Ye Guan at the thought.

Seeing the concern in Ye Guan's eyes, White-Skirt Destiny smiled and pointed out. "Are you worried about Plain-Skirt Destiny?"

Ye Guan nodded. "The Evil Dao is just too terrifying that I..."

"Don't worry about her. She can't defeat her, but she'll definitely have no issues escaping with how fast her sword flight is..." White-Skirt Destiny muttered, but she suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
