I Have A Sword-Chapter 1677: You Are Finally Here

Clan Leader Jing!

The Boundless Master looked a bit surprised. He turned to look at Ye Guan, who was also staring at Clan Leader Jing. As if sensing his gaze, Clan Leader Jing looked back at him.

Their eyes met, across time and space.

After a moment, she withdrew her gaze.

Ye Guan seemed to sense something. He suddenly turned to look at the Great Daoist Brush Master, who was also looking at him and the Boundless Master.

The gazes of all three crossed through time...

"Damn!" The Great Daoist Brush Master's mouth twitched as he cursed under his breath. With a flick of his sleeve, a mysterious force emerged into the world.

The image in the light screen blurred again—and then vanished completely.

Inside the hall, Ye Guan and the Boundless Master were silent. The Great Daoist Brush Master was, as expected, one of the Supreme Will's agents. But what puzzled Ye Guan most was Clan Leader Jing... She had always opposed his Order at the start, yet after losing a bet to him, she chose to follow it willingly.

The Boundless Master suddenly spoke in a low voice. "They're hiding something... that's why they're not letting us see that final battle."

Ye Guan said, "If you think about it from another angle, they knew people in the future would come investigate. So they've deliberately hidden something. And from yet another perspective, they know the strength of this era..."

At this point, both their expressions turned grim.

They were in the light, but the other side was in the dark.

After a moment of silence, the Boundless Master said, "Let's go to the Ancient Era."

Ye Guan nodded.

The Ancient Era was their last hope. If they couldn't find anything there, then they'd have no choice but to give up.

The two of them returned to the Time River and traveled upstream again.

Suddenly, Ye Guan asked, "Senior... can anything destined be changed?"

The Boundless Master was silent for a while, then said, "Nothing in this world is truly unchangeable. Whether it changes or not depends on your strength. If you're weak, a tiny bit of karma can utterly destroy you. But if you're strong enough, you can walk through ten thousand strands of karma and remain untouched."

Ye Guan nodded. "I understand."

The Boundless Master lit a cigar and took a puff. "Don't overthink it. This time, you're not alone."

Ye Guan smiled. "I can finally see my aunts' real strength."

The Boundless Master grinned, too. "Let's go wreck stuff."

They didn't know how long they traveled when suddenly, another tribulation lightning zone appeared in front of them. But this time, it wasn't black lightning, it was blood-red.

Inside the tribulation zone, the blood-red divine lightning was several times more powerful than the previous black ones.

The Boundless Master's expression grew serious. "Each one of these blood-red divine lightnings is at least equivalent to a level seven Circle-breaking Realm powerhouse."

And in that lightning zone, there were hundreds of such bolts.

Moreover, deeper inside, an even stronger aura was hiding.

Ye Guan stared toward the center of the zone. "It's a level nine Circle-breaking Realm aura."

The Boundless Master nodded.

Ye Guan asked, "Do you still have any Lightning-avoidance Pills?"

The Boundless Master shook his head. "No."

Ye Guan fell silent.

The Boundless Master flicked his cigar."I'll break this zone open. You go through alone."

Ye Guan turned to look at him, surprised. "Senior, are you sure?"

The Boundless Master smiled. "The pagoda..."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Little Pagoda roared with rage.

Ye Guan was dumbstruck.

The Boundless Master laughed. "Hahaha! Master Pagoda, you've misunderstood. I mean, you'll protect this kid for a bit."

The pagoda didn't respond.

The Boundless Master looked at Ye Guan again, and his smile faded. "Kid, I know you're way stronger than before. Dual Circle Breaker, plus the power of three bloodlines, and the Qingxuan Sword... ordinary Circle Breakers are not your.

"But... you know what I mean, right?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Don't worry, I won't be reckless."

After all, most fights were lost not by the enemy but by getting cocky when ahead. He understood that very well.

The Boundless Master nodded, saying no more. This kid was shrewd, cleverer than him, but what he feared most was that Ye Guan might lose control and start charging headfirst at everyone.

The Boundless Master took a long drag of his cigar, then stuck it behind his ear. He looked up at the lightning zone. The next moment, he shot into the sky and smashed into the blood-red tribulation lightning.

His voice echoed, "Open, damn you!"

Boom!

Under Ye Guan's gaze, the lightning zone was forcefully split apart by some invisible power, opening a passage.

Ye Guan was stunned. This senior was ridiculously powerful.

Without hesitation, Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light and rushed through.

After Ye Guan passed through the lightning zone, the Boundless Master appeared in its center. The surrounding lightning surged toward him like a flood. He glanced at the blood-red bolts and waved his sleeve.

Boom!

In an instant, hundreds of blood-red divine lightnings were turned to ash.

The Boundless Master took the still-burning cigar from behind his ear, took a puff, and looked up.

Floating above the lightning zone was a cluster of blood-red lightning, exuding terrifying pressure.

A level nine Circle-breaker Realm being!

The Boundless Master looked at it calmly. "Don't rush. Let me finish this cigar first, and then I'll beat the crap out of you."

With that, he inhaled, then slowly exhaled a plume of smoke...

***

Ye Guan had successfully passed the lightning zone and had been walking for quite a while now. The spacetime tunnel was filled with faint, blurry images, like a dazzling starry river. A few planets within it looked strangely familiar...

Why did they feel familiar?

Ye Guan was puzzled. He tried to get a clearer look, but the images grew even more distorted.

He walked further ahead... and then froze.

The tunnel abruptly ended; there was no road ahead.

Ye Guan stared blankly as only a void stretched in front of him, a gray nothingness, with no sign of a path. Confused, he wondered. Was there really no Ancient Era at all? Or had the entire Ancient Era been completely erased?

Ye Guan stood there, speechless. He never expected this. There was no road... but his instincts told him that this wasn't truly the end of time. The Ancient Era had to have existed, but it was erased.

Yes, an entire era was erased.

Ye Guan gazed deeply into the endless void, and then he turned around to leave.

"You're finally here." An aged and exhausted voice echoed.

Ye Guan's eyes narrowed. He stopped and turned toward the void but saw nothing.

He asked, "Who are you?"

The voice sounded sorrowful. "Have you ever thought that perhaps being the King of Relying on Others wouldn't be so bad?"

Ye Guan stared hard at the void. "You know me... Who the hell are you!?"

"Really... maybe being reliant on your family is fine..."

Ye Guan was silent for a moment before saying, "That's not my Dao. I will forge my own Dao."

"You are... truly excellent..."

Ye Guan hurriedly called out, "Who are you!? Are you... my family!?"

However, the voice could no longer be heard.

Only the sound of footsteps, growing more and more distant...

Ye Guan tried to chase after it, but the moment he stepped into the void, he was horrified to find that he was actually disappearing. Both his Invincible Sword Intent and Order Sword Intent were vanishing!

Ye Guan quickly retreated, terrified. He stared at the empty void before him. Something dawned on him. He held out his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand.

He thrust the sword into the void, but what he saw chilled him to the bone...

The Qingxuan Sword actually started disappearing bit by bit.

Ye Guan froze in disbelief.
