I Have A Sword

Chapter 919: Path Annihilation

Li Han couldn't help but feel deeply worried.

If his ancestor were to disagree with him, his efforts would be reduced to ashes. The goodwill that they had painstakingly built would transform into animosity. He could never allow that to happen.

Tianwu Shi noticed Li Ming's hesitation, and he shouted, "Li Ming, your descendants have made a grave mistake! If you switch sides now, your entire clan can be spared."

"Li Ming!" Wuma Luo echoed the sentiment, urging, "It's not too late to make the right decision."

Li Ming remained silent, his gaze fixed on Ye Guan. Ye Guan was extraordinary, but not to the point of being overwhelmingly impressive—at least not on the surface. Were his descendants really fools?

Turning to look at Li Han, Li Ming found it hard to believe that Li Han, who had achieved so much at such a young age, could be an idiot.

Just then, Li Ming chuckled. Why was he worried? Every generation had its own destiny, and his era had ended a long time ago. Even if his descendants had made the wrong decision, correcting it now wouldn’t guarantee success.

Why not trust them and let fate decide the outcome?

With that thought in mind, Li Ming turned to Tianwu Shi and chuckled. "Tianwu Shi, who would've thought that even after death, we'd still be worried about our ancestors? Hahaha, it really is absurd."

Realizing Li Ming's decision, Tianwu Shi's voice turned cold. "Li Ming, are you certain?"

Li Ming pointed at Li Han and explained, "I believe in my descendant. He has earned the support of our entire clan, and he's quite ballsy as well, so I have faith in him."

Li Han breathed a sigh of relief, and a newfound respect for his ancestor was formed in his heart.

Tianwu Shi's face darkened, and Li Ming burst into laughter. "Tianwu Shi, let’s fight once more—one last time!"

With those words, Li Ming transformed into a streak of light and charged fiercely at Tianwu Shi.

In an instant, Li Ming forced his way into the clan protective array of the Tianwu Clan. Tianwu Shi had no choice but to abandon Ye Guan and focus entirely on Li Ming.

Meanwhile, Wuma Xing activated his own clan’s array and unleashed a terrifying wave of energy that threatened to obliterate everything in their path.

Li Suifeng stepped forward.

With his palm spread open, two swords made out of sword intent shot into the sky. They streaked through the air like lightning, slashing toward Wuma Xing. A glint of malice flashed in Wuma Xing's eyes as he raised his right hand high before slamming it down.

Boom!

A blinding white light erupted from the array, instantly engulfing Li Suifeng's swords. This array was the Wuma Clan’s ultimate weapon, and with Wuma Xing personally controlling it, its power was far greater than ever.

Seeing the overwhelming power of the array, Li Suifeng and the others were taken aback.

Li Suifeng was about to retreat with Ye Guan, but before he could act, Ye Guan suddenly transformed into a streak of sword light and shot forward.

Li Suifeng was horrified and tried to stop him, but Ye Guan moved too quickly. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the white light. Gripping his sword with both hands, Ye Guan brought it down with all his might.

Hiss!

The sword tore through the white light, ripping it apart. At the same time, Ye Guan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword flew out, heading straight for the array.

Boom!

A kaleidoscope of sword lights manifested, tearing the Wuma Clan’s clan protective array into pieces.

Everyone was stunned. The array was destroyed just like that?

In the center of the array, Wuma Xing stood in disbelief. He was well aware of his array's power. It had once withstood an attack from the Tianxing Civilization—no, it actually ended up breaking, but it was still a durable array.

Despite that, it had crumbled before Ye Guan as if it were nothing.

It was destroyed by a single sword strike? No way! Wuma Xing’s gaze fell on the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Guan's hand. He stared at it intently, realizing that the sword had to have played a major role.

However, what kind of sword could easily dismantle the array he had created?

Li Suifeng and the others were shocked as well.

Ye Guan's sword seemed invincible.

Ye Guan turned to another part of the battlefield, where the fight between Emperor Yong and Dao Emperor Zhaowu had become extremely fierce. The space around them was so distorted it was impossible to see them clearly.

A hint of worry appeared in Ye Guan's eyes. He wasn’t the only one concerned—Li Suifeng and the others were also uneasy.

Earlier, Emperor Yong had managed to suppress Dao Emperor Zhaowu, but it was clear that the latter had been holding back. If the latter unleashed his full power...

Crack!

Just then, the distorted spacetime in the distance shattered like glass, and a figure was sent flying a few kilometers away. When the figure became clear to everyone's eyes, everyone felt a mixture of emotions.

Some felt worried, while some were delighted.

The figure belonged to none other than Dao Emperor Zhaowu, and his allies immediately became worried upon seeing that he had been blasted away.

Wuma Xing's face darkened. What is Dao Emperor Zhaowu doing? He's still holding back?

The Wuma Clan had gone all-out investing in him. If something went wrong...

Wuma Xing expression grew grim at the thought of it alone.

Elsewhere, the Coffin Emperor’s heart raced as he watched the scene unfold. He was aware of Dao Emperor Zhaowu's strength, but Emperor Yong was still suppressing the former. This situation was far more dangerous than the Coffin Emperor had anticipated.

Glancing at Ye Guan in the distance, the Coffin Emperor felt a wave of relief. He was relieved that he hadn't made that move.

Not far from him, Tianwu Xin’s expression was grim. Seeing Dao Emperor Zhaowu being pushed back raised unsettling thoughts in her mind.

Why is Emperor Yong helping Ye Guan?

And why is Li Han willing to mobilize his entire clan for Ye Guan's sake?

Are they all mad?

Tianwu Xin's mind was full of questions, but she pushed them aside. In life, there are times when thinking too much is unnecessary. Sometimes, you just have to stop worrying and make a move.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion jolted everyone back to reality, and all eyes returned to the battlefield.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu was once again blasted away, retreating nearly ten kilometers away. As soon as he stopped, the spear in his hand cracked open.

In the distance, Emperor Yong stood with flames around him. His aura was wild and unstoppable, making him appear like an invincible war god.

"Haha." Dao Emperor Zhaowu chuckled. "Interesting, very interesting..."

Dao Emperor Zhaowu released his grip on the Zhaowu Divine Spear and took a step forward.

Boom!

With that step, his aura surged, and a terrifying wave of pressure swept across the Ascension World. All the cultivators in the area were crushed under the immense pressure, and the weaker ones dropped to their knees instantly.

Everyone was horrified.

Path Annihiliation!

In the face of the powerful Emperor Yong, Dao Emperor Zhaowu finally stopped holding back and took that final step—a step to annihilate a myriad of paths!

Ye Guan and the others looked on with grave expressions. The pressure was immense, and it felt like there were countless mountains pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe.

Only the Clan Leader of the Past Clan had ever made Ye Guan feel such overwhelming pressure. This was Path Annihilation—the realm above the Path Creation Realm.

Li Suifeng and the others were more serious than ever. The moment Dao Emperor Zhaowu took that step, he and Emperor Yong were no longer in the same league.

The difference in their realms had instantly become overwhelming.

Tianwu Xin exhaled in relief.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu was now a genuine Path Annihilation Realm expert.

Who could stand against him now?

Tianwu Xin glanced at Ye Guan in the distance; her eyes were devoid of anger nor pride, only indifference. In her eyes, Ye Guan and his allies were nothing more than clowns.

They were like ants attempting to block a chariot. They could struggle for as hard and for as long as they wanted, but it was futile. In the distance, Dao Dao Emperor Zhaowu took another step forward. This one step created a wave of overwhelming pressure that forced Emperor Yong to retreat a few kilometers away.

Blood trickled down from the corner of Emperor Yong's mouth.

Li Suifeng and the others couldn’t hide their dismay at the sight. However, it was to be expected, as Dao Emperor Zhaowu had surpassed the Path Creation Realm.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu smiled as he walked slowly toward Emperor Yong. "I must admit, you’re exceptional. You're the strongest Path Creation Realm expert that I've ever seen.

"With the right opportunity, you could go beyond that realm. Unfortunately, your choices have led you astray. A person’s limits in life are often dictated by their choices.”

Dao Emperor Zhaowu straightened his disheveled collar and asked, "How about this? I'll give you a chance. Submit, and I won't kill you today."

All eyes in the arena turned to Emperor Yong.

Ye Guan stared at Emperor Yong as well.

Emperor Yong wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and lifted his head to meet Dao Emperor Zhaowu's gaze. "My sister told me two things that I must keep in mind—rise above everyone else and live with dignity."

"Puhahaha!" Dao Emperor Zhaowu laughed boisterously. "I'll help you keep that dignity, then."

Dao Emperor Zhaowu clenched his right hand, and a terrifying aura converged on his right hand.

Everyone present was terrified, and they retreated as far as possible.

Some even fled the Ascension World.

Emperor Yong turned to look at Ye Guan in the distance. "Young Master Ye, once my sister has reincarnated, please do take care of her. Don’t tell her anything about her past life, especially about me. Her previous life was too harsh and full of suffering; there's nothing worth remembering at all.

"And I'm not worthy of becoming a part of her memories..."

With that, Emperor Yong looked away.

Boom!

Emperor Yong's figure erupted into flames—he had ignited his soul!
