I Have A Sword-Chapter 1275: Kneel

Everyone present was caught off guard. None of them had expected Emperor Tian Zong to strike so suddenly. Two against one!

It was a clear attempt to kill this young swordsman, giving him no chance to fight back. This act, coming from the ruler of an empire, was downright disgraceful. Combined with the earlier treatment of Tian Chen, many officials in the court now harboured feelings of disdain toward their emperor.

The moment he attacked, Tian Chen's eyes turned bloodshot. He instinctively tried to rush forward but was held back firmly by Consort Qin. Suddenly, Ye Guan's eyes turned red.

The seal on him was lifted!

Ye Guan unleashed a fierce slash.

Boom!

In an instant, Emperor Tian Zong and Wu Zhuguo were sent flying thousands of meters away. At the same time, the grand hall collapsed with a deafening roar—no, the palace was reduced to dust.

The sheer power of that single strike was terrifying beyond imagination.

Everyone froze like statues, staring in disbelief at Ye Guan, who stood there holding a broken sword.

Divine Attendant Pei, witnessing this scene, felt her heart tighten immediately. She instinctively prepared to flee but stopped just as quickly.

A faint "Dao" character appeared on Ye Guan's forehead—the Evil Dao Seal!

Boom!

The Evil Dao Seal violently suppressed Ye Guan's aura and soul, and an excruciating pain made Ye Guan's face twist in agony. Coupled with the faint blood-red glow emanating from his body, he appeared horrifyingly fearsome.

He gripped his sword tightly and made his way toward Emperor Tian Zong and Wu Zhuguo. Meanwhile, streams of red light radiated from within him. The blood-red light wasn't coming from his own blood.

It was from Fan Zhaodi's power, which was relentlessly suppressing him.

Ye Guan's expression grew increasingly ferocious as he desperately unleashed his Order Sword Intent to resist the overwhelming Evil Dao energy. It was a gruelling struggle, but he had no choice but to endure the pain for now.

He lifted his gaze and locked his blood-red eyes onto Emperor Tian Zong and Wu Zhuguo. Their faces paled as they met his gaze. That single sword strike earlier had forcibly driven them thousands of meters away.

Emperor Tian Zong's right arm was severed, and Wu Zhuguo's armguards were shattered.

They were both stunned.

"There's something wrong with him!" Emperor Tian Zong exclaimed, his eyes fixed on Ye Guan. "It seems like he's being suppressed by something!"

Wu Zhuguo frowned deeply. He, too, could sense another terrifying force within Ye Guan, targeting him specifically and suppressing both his sword intent and bloodline power.

"Attack!" Emperor Tian Zong commanded, transforming into a streak of golden light and charging straight at Ye Guan.

Wu Zhuguo hesitated briefly before following suit. Although attacking two-on-one was dishonourable, the circumstances left him no choice. It was better to strike first and eliminate the threat.

Ye Guan was not in a stable condition. The power of the Evil Dao was ruthlessly suppressing his sword intent, bloodline power, and soul. The more he resisted, the stronger the suppression became, plunging him into unbearable agony.

Wu Zhuguo and Emperor Tian Zong had already reached him.

Ye Guan raised his head, stepped forward, and gripped his sword with both hands before slashing downward.

Boom!

A blood-red sword light manifested, erupting with devastating power.

In an instant, both Emperor Tian Zong and Wu Zhuguo were blasted backward once again. During the retreat, Wu Zhuguo's Ancestral Dragon Armguards shattered into pieces. By the time he finally stopped, his fleshly body had disintegrated entirely, leaving only his soul behind.

Emperor Tian Zong, on the other hand, was shielded by a faint golden light. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that he was being protected by an ancient golden armor—the Ancestral Dragon Armor.

This armor, second only to the Ancestral Dragon Divine Seal of the Founding Ancestor of the Heavenly Tomb Empire, was one of the most powerful divine artifacts in their empire.

However, even this terrifying armor was now riddled with cracks.

True fear flitted across Emperor Tian Zong's face. Who exactly is he?

The experts of the Heavenly Tomb Empire were utterly dumbfounded as well. They couldn't help but wonder about Ye Guan's origins.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan was still writhing in pain. The power of the Evil Dao was not only suppressing him, but it was also invading his consciousness, attempting to destroy him.

He was struggling to withstand it, but he had to hold on.

Envoy Yue saw that and hastily said, "Divine Attendant Pei, Ye Guan is in a weakened state right now. If you take action, you'll surely be able to suppress and kill him..."

Divine Attendant Pei turned toward him and coldly said, "Come here."

Envoy Yue was puzzled, but he still moved closer.

Smack!

Before Envoy Yue could react, he was slapped in the face and sent flying away, crashing heavily to the ground. Completely dazed, he stared at her in disbelief and stuttered, "D-Divine Attendant Pei..."

Divine Attendant Pei stared at him and asked, "Are you teaching me how to do my job?"

Then, she ignored him and turned her gaze back to Ye Guan in the distance. Ye Guan's condition was indeed unusual, but she wasn't foolish enough to act against him.

How strong were the Nine Continents Master, Divine Attendant Fan, and the Ancestral Dao? And yet, Ye Guan somehow survived against them! Divine Attendant Pei didn't believe that she could kill someone like him.

She believed that Ye Guan's situation involved some profound struggle over the Great Dao with those experts, and it was absolutely not something a minor figure like her could meddle in.

They were enemies, but she didn't have to risk her life to fight him.

People ought to recognize their place to protect themselves.

After the harsh lesson, Divine Attendant Pei had become much more cautious.

Divine Attendant Pei decided to observe further, waiting to see if the Heavenly Tomb Empire had any more hidden trump cards. From her perspective, the conflict between Ye Guan and the Heavenly Tomb Empire would benefit the Genesis Daoist Temple regardless of who emerged victorious.

Ye Guan slowly raised his head and looked at Emperor Tian Zong and Wu Zhuguo. His eyes were filled with a sea of blood.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan vanished into thin air.

Wu Zhuguo's expression instantly changed, and he stepped forward with clenched fists. In an instant, a terrifying aura erupted from him and soared into the sky. High above, a Great Dao Imprint appeared, followed by a mysterious and oppressive force cascading from the heavens.

The imprint of a Tier Nine Civilization's Supreme Great Dao!

Wu Zhuguo resorted to his ultimate trump card, connecting with the Supreme Great Dao of this world to borrow its power.

Boom!

As the terrifying energy of the Great Dao surged into him, his aura skyrocketed.

At the same time, Ye Guan's sword descended upon him.

A glint of ferocity flashed in Wu Zhuguo's eyes as he threw a punch with all his might. The power behind this punch exceeded his previous attacks by more than tenfold. This was the power of the Great Dao!

The overwhelming force of this punch rivalled the fierceness of Ye Guan's sword, but the majority of Ye Guan's strength was being expended to resist the oppressive force of the Evil Dao Seal.

Boom!

As soon as their attacks collided, a terrifying wave of sword energy rippled outward, instantly shattering the defensive array protecting the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace crumbled into ruins.

Both Ye Guan and Wu Zhuguo were sent flying away. During Ye Guan's retreat, Emperor Tian Zong seized the opportunity and charged at him, aiming to finish him off.

From afar, Ye Guan noticed Emperor Tian Zong rushing toward him. Gripping the Qingxuan Sword, he swung it with all his might.

Bam!

Emperor Tian Zong was knocked hundreds of meters away. As soon as he stopped, the Ancestral Dragon Armor shattered, and his fleshly body was riddled with countless cracks.

Emperor Tian Zong's expression turned extremely grim, and his heart was filled with shock and fear. Had it not been for the protection of the Ancestral Dragon Armor, Ye Guan's strike would have been enough to kill him outright.

How is his sword so terrifying?

Ye Guan also came to a stop, but his condition had gotten worse. After Wu Zhuguo connected with the Supreme Great Dao, his strength had increased to an astonishing level. Coupled with Ye Guan having to constantly resist the suppressive force of Fan Zhaodi's power, his current state was highly unstable.

Wu Zhuguo noticed this vulnerability. He slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky, where the mysterious aura of the Supreme Great Dao lingered.

The Supreme Great Dao of a Tier Nine Civilization! To the top-tier experts of a Tier Nine Civilization, its presence was like that of a deity.

With a reverent expression, Wu Zhuguo once again reached out to connect with it. He sought even more of its power!

He was effectively serving as the emissary of this Supreme Great Dao and was capable of drawing on its unimaginable strength. However, this privilege came with a condition. They had to align with the Dao's principles and work to uphold its balance.

In the Dao Transformation Realm, the strength of a cultivator largely depended on how much Dao power they could harness. This distinction separated the average from the strong.

Simply put, within a Tier Nine Civilization, the Supreme Great Dao was the ultimate sovereign, governing and balancing all things in existence.

Those beneath it could fight and kill each other. Unless they went against the Supreme Great Dao, it wouldn't intervene. On the contrary, to gain more of the Supreme Great Dao's power, these top-tier experts would go to great lengths to curry favor with it.

The True God had chosen to defy the Great Dao because she refused to pander to the so-called Supreme Great Dao of their universe.

This was also why True God once said, "Submission leads to servitude, while defiance leads to mastery."

Just then, Ye Guan roared, and a streak of blood-red light rushed out of him, flying into the sky.

It was his bloodline!

Ye Guan's face twisted in agony. He understood that he had to make a desperate gamble. Otherwise, he would become increasingly passive and vulnerable. Right now, he was resisting the Evil Dao Seal purely through willpower, and even he didn't know how long he could hold on.

He could collapse at any time.

Of course, part of the reason he was able to temporarily resist the seal was due to his enhanced strength and mental resilience following his recultivation.

Compared to when he had no cultivation base at all, his current power was immeasurably greater. Back then, he had been utterly helpless against the Evil Dao Seal, and it was all because he was without any cultivation.

Now, by pouring every ounce of his strength into resisting the seal, the three bloodlines within him temporarily shattered the constraints of the Evil Dao Seal. Seizing this opportunity, Ye Guan soared into the sky, raising his sword and striking at the Dao Imprint in the sky.

Boom!

Under everyone's gaze, Ye Guan's sword shattered the Supreme Great Dao Imprint in one mighty blow.

The Dao Imprint shattered into countless fragments, scattering in all directions.

Everyone present was stunned, and their faces froze in disbelief.

Attacking the Dao Imprint? Wasn't that defying the Supreme Great Dao itself?

Even Wu Zhuguo was dumbfounded. The Dao Imprint... shattered? Is he planning to defy the Dao?

While Ye Guan's bloodline power remained unsealed, he transformed into a streak of sword light and appeared before Emperor Tian Zong.

Emperor Tian Zong's face instantly twisted in fear, and just as he was about to resist, a terrifying combination of bloodline suppression and sword energy pinned him in place.

The broken sword in Ye Guan's hand pierced his forehead. Before anyone could react, he grabbed Emperor Tian Zong by the hair and dragged him like a lifeless dog to stand before Tian Chen.

"Kneel!" Ye Guan commanded coldly.

Thud!

Under the immense pressure, Emperor Tian Zong's knees buckled, and he was forced to kneel in front of Tian Chen.

Ye Guan then walked over to Tian Chen. P

lacing a trembling hand gently on his shoulder, he said, "You see that, brother? It's so easy to become an emperor."

Silence fell upon the entire place.
