I Have A Sword

This world was insane.

The Existing Dao was also at a loss for words. In reality, there were very few beings in this world who could defeat Tian Wushen. After all, he was a powerhouse of the Eighth Heaven; not even the Hall Masters of the Evil Dao Alliance could easily handle him.

However, the guy had a penchant for offending those capable of defeating him.

The Existing Dao collected his thoughts and then said, "Clan Leader Jing, it\'s been a long time."

The white-robed woman before him was none other than Sifan Jing, the former Clan Leader of the Past Clan.

"Clan Leader Jing!" Tian Wushen\'s pupils constricted. "You… You\'re the Clan Leader Jing who killed the powerhouse of the Ninth Heaven!"

There was once a peerless powerhouse imprisoned in the Ninth Heaven, but they were no longer there because Clan Leader Jing had killed them!

The only reason Tian Wushen knew about this was that he was somewhat familiar with the Existing Dao. He had learned about it from the Existing Dao many years ago, but he had never seen the legendary Clan Leader Jing until now.

He could have never imagined that he\'d encounter the legendary figure today.

Thinking back to how he had tried to teach her a lesson earlier, Tian Wushen felt like digging a hole for himself and dying there. What is wrong with me? Why am I acting so foolishly?

Reflecting on this, Tian Wushen smiled bitterly. He had to have grown complacent over the years, as he hadn\'t encountered any real opponents until now.

Clan Leader Jing paid no attention to Tian Wushen and looked up at the stone gate. "Do something for me."

The Existing Dao remained silent.

Clan Leader Jing stared at the stone door. "Shall we exchange a few moves?"

"No, thanks…" the Existing Dao responded, "What do you want me to do?"

Tian Wushen was rendered speechless by their exchange.

After leaving the Ascension World, Ye Guan headed straight for Abyssal Hell.

Ye Guan was grinning from ear to ear, and it was all because he now had one hundred fifty thousand Eternal Crystals and hundreds of thousands of Ancestral Veins.

One hundred fifty thousand Eternal Crystals! A single Eternal Crystal was enough to recruit a Path Creation Realm, so imagine what Ye Guan could do with one hundred fifty thousand Eternal Crystals.

Ye Guan\'s smile grew wider and wider.

He recently planted thirty Immortal Dao Trees inside the tiny pagoda, and they produced thousands of Dao Fruits. He also discovered that an aged Dao Fruit had stronger effects.

If he were outside, the Immortal Dao Trees would be useless to him because it would take too long for them to grow and bear fruit. Inside the pagoda, however, it was a different story.

The time difference allowed Ye Guan to maximize their potential.

Now, Ye Guan had both wealth and resources.

The number of Eternal Crystals on his person was particularly impressive, as Eternal Crystals were rare, even in the Tianxing Civilization.

Ye Guan\'s smile grew even brighter at the thought of it.

Soon, Ye Guan arrived in a pitch-black starry sky. Ahead, millions of meters away, was a pitch-black abyss. The abyss seemed bottomless, and it was giving off an incredibly eerie air.

Clearly, the abyss before him was his destination.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan\'s figure trembled as he arrived before the abyss.

Just then, a shadowy figure blocked his path.

Ye Guan opened his palm, revealing a token.

Seeing the Dao token, the shadowy figure bowed slightly and quietly disappeared.

Ye Guan transformed into a streak of light and entered the pitch-black abyss.

After a while, Ye Guan found himself standing in front of a ghostly city. The city was incredibly eerie, and it was emitting a bizarre red glow that resembled blood.

Souls occasionally streaked across the skies as well.

There was no mistaking it; he was definitely in Abyssal Hell.

Ye Guan said, "Master Pagoda, help me conceal my aura."

Little Pagoda responded, "Alright."

With his aura concealed, Ye Guan walked toward the city. Upon entering, he found that the ghostly city was surprisingly lively. There seemed to be a myriad of spirits in the city, and some of them were even selling things.

The place wasn\'t too different from the human world.

However, not all spirits looked normal; some were particularly abnormal. For example, Ye Guan saw several headless spirits and some with particularly ferocious appearances.

After walking for a short while, a middle-aged man in a black robe suddenly appeared in front of Ye Guan. The man had long hair draped over his shoulders, and there was a long string of black Buddhist beads around his neck.

Shockingly, he wasn\'t a spirit.

Ye Guan stopped and looked at the man.

The black-robed man smiled and said, "Young Master Ye."

"Are you the Hell Lord?" asked Ye Guan.

The man nodded. "I am. Did you come here to train?"

"Yes."

"Follow me."

With that, the Hell Lord turned around and walked away.

Ye Guan followed him quietly.

As they walked away, Ye Guan looked around the scenery and said, "I\'m a bit surprised."

The Hell Lord smiled and said, "Abyssal Hell is far from what it used to be. At its peak, it was home to trillions of spirits and powerful spirit cultivators. It was truly a flourishing place. For some reason, the order of the vast expanse collapsed, and the order of reincarnation in Abyssal Hell lost its binding power over all beings.

"Nowadays, we\'re barely maintaining some semblance of our former glory."

Ye Guan was puzzled. "Senior, can\'t the Existing Dao help maintain order in this universe region?"

The Hell Lord shook his head. "No. He is strong, but this universe region once had top-tier powerhouses on par with him."

"Like who?"

"There were several of them. The most recent one is Clan Leader Jing of the Past Clan."

Ye Guan was stunned. "Clan Leader Jing?"

The Hell Lord glanced at Ye Guan. "You know her?"

"Yes, she once gave me a beating."

The Hell Lord\'s face turned grave as he said, "Her strength is otherworldly. She defeated the peerless powerhouse of the Ninth Heaven, but she\'s low-key, so few people in the world are aware of her existence."

Ye Guan said calmly, "She\'s not that low-key. She almost killed me once."

"The fact that you survived that encounter proves that you are truly remarkable, Young Master Ye," the Hell Lord remarked with a smile.

"Senior, are you familiar with her?" asked Ye Guan.

The Hell Lord shook his head. "Not at all. I only know that she is a being who has suppressed her divinity with her humanity—a truly extraordinary existence."

"Indeed, extraordinary." Ye Guan nodded in agreement.

Soon, the two arrived in an underground world.

Ye Guan frowned. The underground world was filled with an overwhelming evil aura.

The Hell Lord said, "This is where we imprison evil souls. The beings trapped here are powerful."

Ye Guan asked, "Are there any Path Creation Realm experts?"

The Hell Lord nodded. "In the Eighteenth Level, yes."

"Were you the one who imprisoned them?"

"No, the Old Dao imprisoned them, and they\'ve been here since then."

Ye Guan\'s curiosity was piqued.

The Hell Lord said, "If you want to train, you should go to the Hell Battlefield, but you have to be careful, as it is a very dangerous place.

"There are still many evil souls from the ancient battle between the Existing Dao and the Old Dao. Those souls have devoured and cannibalized each other for countless eons and have become extremely vicious and bloodthirsty."

The Hell Lord stared at Ye Guan, feeling a bit worried.

If Ye Guan ended up dying here, this place would disappear from existence.

"The more dangerous it is, the better it is for me," Ye Guan remarked.

The Hell Lord thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright."

With that, he led Ye Guan to a gate. "The Hell Battlefield is beyond this gate."

Ye Guan looked at the Hell Lord and cupped his fists. "Thank you, Senior."

The Hell Lord smiled. "It was nothing. No need for thanks."

Ye Guan nodded and turned around, walking into the gate.

Once Ye Guan had entered the gate, the Hell Lord turned around to leave, but he stopped upon remembering something. He muttered to himself,"No, I have to stay here and watch. If that guy dies in there, it\'ll be too late to lament."

***

Upon entering the Hell Battlefield, Ye Guan\'s expression immediately became grim. He was standing in a desolate wasteland. The sky above was dark red, and it was raining.. blood.

There were scattered organs and severed limbs around him; the air was also thick with the stench of blood.

Hell Battlefield!

Ye Guan immediately activated his Mad Demon Bloodline, and the surrounding blood energy surged toward him like a tidal wave.

It was all absorbed by his bloodline.

His Mad Demon Bloodline was possibly the strongest bloodline in the vast expanse, and it relished in evil blood energy as if it were a cat encountering a mouse.

Ye Guan closed his eyes amidst the deluge of evil blood energy. He trembled, and his skin slowly took on a blood-red hue. He was emitting waves of terrifying bloodline energy.

The Mad Demon Bloodline was growing stronger and stronger! Truth be told, Ye Guan had never really unleashed his Mad Demon Bloodline to its limit, as he wasn\'t a madman.

"There are quite a few powerful evil souls staring at you," Little Pagoda remarked.

Ye Guan didn\'t respond. Instead, he put away his Qingxuan Sword.

"What are you going to do?" asked Little Pagoda.

Ye Guan didn\'t answer. He clenched his fists tightly, and endless evil blood energy poured into him like a deluge.

This place wasn\'t hell—it was paradise for his Mad Demon Bloodline!

Kekeke!

A bizarre peal of laughter echoed just then, and waves of bloodthirsty energy swept toward Ye Guan.

The blood energy was a great tonic for Ye Guan, but Ye Guan\'s blood energy was equally nourishing for the evil souls here.

Just as the evil souls were about to pounce on Ye Guan, he opened his eyes, which had taken on a blood-red color.

Ye Guan roared. He let go of all inhibitions and unleashed the full extent of his bloodline.

Boom!

A terrifying wave of bloodline energy erupted from within him, and everything around him transformed into an endless sea of blood!

He had gone completely mad!

Ye Guan\'s plan was to go completely mad and experience the true power of his Mad Demon Bloodline.
