I Have a Sword

The voice was familiar. Ye Guan looked up at the black vortex, where a faint shadow slowly condensed into none other than Yama Dharmaraja.

Seeing Ye Guan, Yama Dharmaraja smiled warmly. "Young Master Ye."

Ye Guan cupped his fist in greeting. "Senior, we meet again."

Yama Dharmaraja chuckled. "What can I do for you, Young Master Ye?"

Ye Guan asked, "Senior, could you kindly return some of the souls from the Tianxing Civilization to us?"

Upon hearing that, Yama Dharmaraja hesitated before replying, "Your request violates our civilization's rules. Normally, one would need to file an application and go through a formal process.

"However, the request is coming from you, Young Master Ye, so it's no big deal."

Yama Dharmaraja glanced at the thick book in his hand. The book opened on its own, and he gently made a stroke with a pen. Several glowing lights from behind him turned into beams of light that flew out of the vortex and entered the Tianxing Life Tree.

Moments later, Yama Dharmaraja closed the book and smiled at Ye Guan. "All done."

"Hahaha." Yama Dharmaraja laughed. "No need for thanks between us."

Ye Guan sincerely said, "I will remember this favor."

Yama Dharmaraja was delighted, and he hurriedly replied, "No problem, Young Master Ye. It really is just a small matter. Anyway, you take care now."

After speaking, he cast a meaningful glance at the Tianxing Life Tree before turning around and disappearing into the vortex. The vortex vanished as well, and the sky returned to normal.

Ye Guan noticed Yama Dharmaraja's surreptitious gaze. He glanced at the Tianxing Life Tree and realized that it was no ordinary tree.

Just then, a seed floated out of the tree. The seed contained a faint light, and as life force surged into the seed, the light gradually dissipated. High Goddess Tianyun's soul form began to manifest, and soon, it appeared before everyone.

Yi Nian and Jing An wept with joy.

Ye Guan let out a sigh of relief. Although he had many clashes with the Tianxing Civilization, High Goddess Tianyun had always helped him. He didn't want her to disappear from the world.

High Goddess Tianyun's soul was then absorbed into the Tianxing Life Tree.

The Tianxing Life Tree explained, "Her soul and seed are weak. She needs time to recover. I will slowly revive the others as well."

"Alright." Ye Guan nodded and then turned to Yi Nian and Jing An, "The Tianxing Civilization now needs both of you to lead it. Stay strong, all right?"

Yi Nian nodded. "Mmhm."

Jing An took a big bite of the lamb leg and exclaimed, "We'll restore the Tianxing Civilization's glory!"

Ye Guan and Yi Nian exchanged smiles. The lively and mischievous Jing An was back.

Jing An and Yi Nian took charge of the Tianxing Civilization, becoming its pillars, and the Tianxing denizens obeyed them with deep respect.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan sat cross-legged and took out several storage rings. The storage rings contained over three hundred thousand Eternal Veins! What a fortune!

There were also countless divine items, especially from Supreme Ba and the Evil Spirit God. The Evil Spirit God's ring, in particular, contained many rare and extraordinary treasures.

Ye Guan opened his palm, and a blood-red ancient book appeared in his hand.

The Book of Evil!

He had already absorbed the Evil Characters and Evil Blood from the book, but the book itself still held great value, as it was formed from evil beliefs. It also contained a unique Evil World.

Ye Guan opened the Book of Evil, and a surge of terrifying evil beliefs rushed toward him. In response, his Mad Demon Bloodline churned.

Startled, Ye Guan closed the book. Looking down at the book, Ye Guan felt shaken. What frightening evil that was! He was glad that he had the Mad Demon Bloodline and the Qingxuan Sword. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the book's power.

The Qingxuan Sword could cut through everything, and the Mad Demon Bloodline could absorb all evil things.

The Book of Evil had truly met its nemesis.

Ye Guan put the book away. It could serve as a powerful artifact to enhance his Mad Demon Bloodline. Once his bloodline was active, he could open the book to absorb the evil beliefs and greatly increase his strength.

He could also devour it entirely, which would likely strengthen his Mad Demon Bloodline. However, he dared not do that now, as his bloodline had yet to digest the Evil Characters and Evil Blood from before.

He put his thoughts aside and focused on the Evil Spirit God's ring. Soon, his brows furrowed because he found over ten thousand Creation Crystals inside.

Ye Guan was surprised. Had the Evil Spirit God come into contact with a Tier Six Civilization?

After pondering for a moment, Ye Guan stored the crystals away and examined the storage ring further. He found an enormous object—a ship of immense size, spanning hundreds of kilometers and taking up half of the ring's space.

Ye Guan seemed as small as a speck of dust in front of it.

Looking at the ship, Ye Guan grew curious. What kind of civilization had built it?

He pondered over it before entering the ring. The storage ring was no ordinary item, as it contained its own world that he could enter.

Standing before the ship up close, Ye Guan felt even more overwhelmed by its immense size. A powerful sense of oppression washed over him.

He examined the ship carefully and discovered many defects on it. The ship had to have experienced a big battle. In the end, Ye Guan gave up any thoughts of repairing the ship. Perhaps only Little Ai could handle it.

Finally, Ye Guan approached the last remaining divine item—a blood-red blade; it was the blade that had injured Jing Chu.

As soon as he approached it, the blood-red blade trembled.

Ye Guan opened his palm, but the blood-red blade remained unmoving.

Frowning, Ye Guan drew the Qingxuan Sword. The blood-red blade shuddered in fear and quickly cried out, "I surrender! I surrender!"

The blood-red blade that seemed to be made out of blood itself was clearly terrified of the Qingxuan Sword, as it was trembling nervously before it.

Curious, Ye Guan glanced at the blood blade and asked, "What's your name?"

The blood blade quivered, "Blade Spirit."

"Did the Evil Spirit God forge you?"

The blood blade replied, "No, I'm from the Devourer Civilization..."

"Devourer Civilization?"

"Yes."

"What's the tier of that civilization?"

The blood blade hesitated before replying, "I don't know."

"You're from the Devourer Civilization, but you don't know its tier?"

"My master escaped from that place before forging me. I only know where I'm from; I don't know that civilization's tier."

Ye Guan was speechless.

"After my master's death, she left behind her inheritance, and the Evil Spirit God obtained it later on. She inherited some of my master's knowledge," the blood blade added.

"I see..." Ye Guan glanced at the massive ship nearby and asked, "Did that belong to your master, too?"

"Yes, my master stole it."

Ye Guan studied the ship for a moment before asking, "Do you know anything else?"

The blood blade replied, "Nothing else."

Ye Guan was at a loss for words.

The blood blade quickly added, "Can I stick with you?"

"Stick with me?"

"Yes, I feel like you have potential."

Ye Guan pondered over it before saying, "But I use a sword."

The blood blade[1] hurriedly replied, "I don't mind."

In the end, Ye Guan decided to keep the blood blade. He had no idea how he could use it, but it had valuable knowledge, thanks to the many years it had spent with the Evil Spirit God.

Unfortunately, it didn't know anything about the mysterious First Hall Master.

Ye Guan remained wary of First Hall Master, believing her to be a significant threat. With no clues to follow, however, there was nothing he could do about it.

Setting that thought aside, Ye Guan returned to the tiny pagoda. He sat down cross-legged and summoned Jing Chu. Looking at her, he said, "I'm about to activate my Mad Demon Bloodline. Can you and Master Pagoda help me regain my sanity afterward?"

Jing Chu nodded. "Alright."

Ye Guan nodded in return and activated his Mad Demon Bloodline.

Boom!

Ye Guan's figure instantly turned blood red and an overwhelming wave of killing intent and malice spread out in all directions.

Seeing that, Jing Chu stepped forward and unleashed her martial domain, suppressing the space around them to contain Ye Guan's killing intent.

Ye Guan struggled to maintain his sanity, but when his Mad Demon Bloodline absorbed the Evil Characters and Evil Blood within him, the final vestiges of his rationality vanished quickly.

Boom!

Upon descending into madness, a terrifying aura exploded from his Mad Demon Bloodline, relentlessly clashing against Jing Chu's martial domain. The suppressed spacetime around them trembled violently.

Jing Chu frowned slightly and stepped forward. A surge of martial intent rushed out of her, and Ye Guan's Mad Demon Bloodline was suppressed upon getting hit by it.

However, it didn't take long before Ye Guan's bloodline surged once again, resisting Jing Chu's martial intent.

Surprise flickered in Jing Chu's eyes; Ye Guan's Mad Demon Bloodline had far exceeded expectations.

Ye Guan slowly raised his head to look at Jing Chu. His eyes were completely bloodshot, and his killing intent was revealed bare.

Jing Chu stared at Ye Guan and carefully emphasized each word as she said, "I am not your enemy."

Swoosh!

The next moment, Ye Guan transformed into a blood-red sword light that charged at Jing Chu and slashed fiercely at her.

"Shit!" Jing Chu cursed with a dark face.

1. the author used the word "刃" and it is very ambiguous, so we decided to use blade ☜
