Chapter 777: The Supreme Sovereign
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
…
The reason why he said that was not without reason.
The main reason was that the shockwave of that battle was really too powerful.
It had already forced the few Celestial Sovereigns to retreat.
Moreover, the reason why Ye Xiao was able to successfully kill their companion previously was mainly because of the results obtained from the sneak attack.
He was essentially the same as them and was also a cultivator at the Celestial Sovereign realm. He was not the legendary Supreme Sovereign.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, it was impossible for him to easily withstand that move.
He should have been more or less injured by then.
Although he did not know whether it was heavy or light, as long as he was injured, it would be easy to deal with.
That was because the few of them could continue to gang up on him in the future.
If they attacked one after another, no matter how powerful he was, he would probably not be able to withstand it.
He would definitely be killed by them.
However, it was at that moment that his companion could not help but shout out,
“Not good! Quickly retreat!”
He had not completely understood the meaning of those words. In the next second, a sword light shot out from the light of the explosion. In an instant, it pierced through his chest and mercilessly destroyed all of his life force.
He simply could not believe his eyes.
What on Earth happened?
Ye Xiao had clearly suffered such a powerful attack. How could he organize another attack in such a short time?
It was illogical!
Even so, was not the time for him to think about those things. As his life force flowed away, his consciousness gradually sank into darkness.
“D*mn it!”
The other Celestial Sovereigns could not help but spit when they saw that scene.
They had just solved a huge problem, and then, another one appeared.
That new problem looked just like the previous one, and was not to be trifled with!
It was only at that moment that they finally understood what the Lord of Heaven had meant.
He should have known the identity of that person. However, from the looks of it, he did not know about it at the start and only had an epiphany before he died.
That fellow was simply too terrifying. He had actually hidden himself so deeply and only appeared at the very last moment.
If he had not come out personally, it was likely that none of them would have known that such an existence existed.
“Everyone, be careful. This fellow’s strength is extraordinary. He’s not someone to be trifled with.”
Wu Shi Shui shouted.
He also spoke out,
“We don’t have any celestial weapons in our hands right now, so we can’t unleash our full combat strength. We don’t have the advantage in fighting him. Everyone, gather your strength and fight him together!”
After hearing his words, the Celestial Sovereigns quickly gathered together.
One of the Celestial Sovereigns could not help but complain,
“If Senior Wu didn’t ask us to detonate all the celestial weapons, we wouldn’t be in this situation. We wouldn’t be suppressed and beaten by only one person.”
“You!”
Sacred Sovereign Wu’s anger surged to the heavens.
When he had said his strategy earlier, everyone had praised him, but suddenly, they were blaming him in the blink of an eye. He was filled with anger.
Wu Shi Shui spoke up,
“Enough, let’s stop talking. It’s already this time, we should unite as one. If it weren’t for Senior Wu’s method of detonating the celestial weapons, we might have been in even more trouble.
“If not, we would have needed to work harder to fight against the Lord of Heaven. We might have already suffered more injuries. Even if we still have the celestial weapons, we won’t be able to defeat him now.”
Hearing that, the dissatisfaction of the others began to fade.
Wu Shi Shui looked at him gratefully.
However, he did not have the time to pay attention to this.
That was because the light from the explosion had all disappeared.
Ye Xiao had disappeared along with the light!
That was right, he had also disappeared, and they did not know when he had started to disappear.
That also meant that they had no way to grasp his information, which would make their subsequent battles even more difficult.
“Why did he disappear?”
“Where did he go? Did he escape?”
“That shouldn’t be possible. He came here specifically for us. How could he choose to escape? He might be spying on us in the dark. Everyone, be careful. Don’t be careless. No one can move recklessly now. Ensure that the formation is good.
“As long as we work together, he won’t be able to do anything to us.”
Unfortunately, just as he finished speaking, a sword light suddenly slashed down from above their heads!
That sword light was too sudden and did not give them the slightest chance to react.
Ye Xiao had clearly come prepared. However, because they were already highly vigilant and were united, each of them was responsible for a direction, so they still discovered it.
Among them, Celestial Sovereign Wu, who was in charge of the top, raised his hand and swung his saber, directly blasting toward the sky and meeting Ye Xiao’s sword light.
Boom!
The enormous explosive force tore apart the spatial barrier between the two sides.
At that moment, Ye Xiao and the other party both retreated.
“We’ve discovered him. Don’t let him go. Otherwise, he’ll run away again.”
Everyone hurriedly took action.
Everyone was a Celestial Sovereign and had rich battle experience.
Hence, they had already noticed earlier that Ye Xiao seemed to be able to perfectly shield his aura in front of them.
Although they did not know how he did it, they absolutely could not let him disappear from their sight.
It was an extremely rare opportunity.
The attack was like a meteor shower as it shot toward Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao was not flustered. He raised his hand and countless sword lights shot out.
Boom, Boom, Boom…
The powerful energy collided together and another world-shaking energy explosion occurred.
Such a terrifying amount of energy could already destroy countless universes.
However, at that moment, Wu Shi Shui suddenly seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said,
“Everyone, quickly stop. Don’t attack anymore. The shock wave created by this explosion will give him a chance to hide once again.
“Our attacks must be directly locked onto him.”
Once those words were said, everyone instantly recalled the matter of Ye Xiao shielding his aura.
They immediately stopped. However, what they did not expect was that Ye Xiao did not hide his aura and escape from that place.
Instead, he launched an attack on them once again.
Boom, Boom, Boom…
Caught off guard, they were all blasted away.
“That d*mned b*stard! He actually tricked us!”
Everyone was extremely furious. However, in reality, Ye Xiao had always been flexible in battle. It was impossible for him to use repetitive moves.
Even if he used repetitive moves, it would catch the other party off guard. It was unimaginable.
Just after he forced everyone back with one move, when the shockwave from the explosion of the battle receded once again, Ye Xiao disappeared from his original spot in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was so furious that they collapsed.
After being beaten, before they had the time to find trouble with him, he was actually like a loach, drilling into the mud again!
How could they stand a chance?
“If you have the guts, then don’t hide. Come out and fight us face to face! Come out!”
Ye Xiao could not help but sneer.
He did not know if those guys were idiots or not!
There were so many of them, and he was only one person. If he went out to fight them face to face, would he not be beaten up by them?
He was not that stupid.
It was not easy for him to have the Golden Book divine soul to protect him and perfectly shield his aura. If he did not use it, that would be too idiotic.
As for the other party’s few people, he was not considered to be bullying them.
At the very least, the few of them working together outnumbered him.
Suddenly, he shattered a spatial barrier and drilled out from within. At the same time, the Great Dragon directly stabbed one of the Celestial Sovereigns.
The Celestial Sovereign was so frightened that he did not have time to dodge. He was pierced through the chest by Ye Xiao’s sword.
However, there was one thing that he reacted to very quickly.
Just after Ye Xiao’s sword pierced through his chest, in order to let the others catch Ye Xiao, he actually used all his strength to firmly lock onto Ye Xiao!
That was right, he firmly locked onto Ye Xiao!
It made Ye Xiao unable to move any faster.
Moreover, even if he blocked his own aura, there was no way.
That was because the other Celestial Sovereigns could feel that fellow’s aura!
“I’ve caught you!”
That Celestial Sovereign thought very simply. He already had no way to dodge Ye Xiao’s attack. Since that was the case, he might as well sacrifice himself in exchange for an opportunity for the others to catch him.
That way, as long as someone could kill Ye Xiao, it would be equivalent to someone avenging him.
Otherwise, he would really die with a grievance.
At the same time that he caught Ye Xiao, the other Celestial Sovereigns also attacked at the same time, attempting to destroy Ye Xiao and him together.
They had already gone mad. In order to destroy Ye Xiao, they simply could not care so much.
The moment the attack was launched, it directly suppressed Ye Xiao in the blink of an eye.
A powerful force that could destroy the world was released mercilessly at that moment.
No, it was released rapidly!
Those people had taken great pains to seize that opportunity, so it was impossible for them to let it go.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiao was devoured by that energy.
The spatial barrier shattered, and the interdimensional rift opened. Ye Xiao was directly blasted into the interdimensional rift by that energy.
If it were any other Celestial Sovereign, they would probably only have half their lives left after enduring that attack. Even if they did not die, they would most likely only have half their lives left.
However, Ye Xiao had been through hundreds of battles and had long expected that kind of situation to happen.
Therefore, the moment everyone made their move, he immediately began to execute the Void celestial art!
The Void celestial art had evolved to a very terrifying level, allowing Ye Xiao to absorb a large amount of the attack energy produced in the surrounding air.
Of course, the attack energy that was absorbed by him was not to increase his cultivation. Instead, it was compressed and condensed by him to form a brand new attack.
That move was very dangerous, but the effect was unexpectedly good!
At the very least, it could help Ye Xiao block most of the damage in advance.
Everyone did not have the time to reveal a successful smile. In the next second, the smile disappeared.
That was because they saw that although their attack had successfully hit Ye Xiao, the power did not erupt in time.
Not only that, in the end, that power was even absorbed by him.
Everyone was simply dumbfounded.
That kind of method was something they had never seen before.
As a group of Celestial Sovereigns, they had lived for at least hundreds of thousands of years.
They had not encountered such a thing in a few 100,000 years. Only now did they finally open their eyes.
“That’s not right! Retreat quickly!”
Wu Shi Shui might have been able to react the fastest because he had become a Celestial Sovereign for the longest time.
He immediately ordered everyone to retreat while he retreated at the fastest speed.
However, it was already too late.
At the instant Ye Xiao gathered their strength, an attack was also launched at the same time.
The power that had gathered countless of their powerful attacks formed an attack at that moment. It mercilessly tore through space and blasted onto everyone’s bodies.
It was like an invincible sword light that mercilessly swept them apart.
Boom, Boom, Boom…
The huge explosion once again illuminated the void.
The vast undulations had already caused the area to have no other life forms other than a Celestial Sovereign.
The Celestial Sovereign in front of Ye Xiao who had grabbed him did not have the time to be shocked.
He had already turned into powder at the first instant.
That was because he had suffered the most attacks, and he had already suffered serious injuries. There was no way he could hold on.
At that time, the light from the explosion lasted for a full minute.
After a minute, everything slowly disappeared. The entire void became darker, and there was no light at all.
Fortunately, the eyes of a Celestial Sovereign had long surpassed the eyes of ordinary people, so they could clearly see what was in front of them.
Wu Shi Shui and the other Celestial Sovereigns were all panting and heavily injured!
They could only be said to have barely survived the attack earlier and did not die on the spot.
Ye Xiao, who was in front of them, did not hide his aura that time and disappeared.
That moment was the best time to reap the harvest, so there was no need to use that kind of hiding tactic anymore.
The Great Dragon in his hand was drawn, and with a light tap of his feet, his body instantly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of those heavily injured Celestial Sovereigns.
At that point, unless they chose to self-destruct at the same time, otherwise, they would only die under Ye Xiao’s sword.
Despite that, who could choose to die so easily?
Just as Ye Xiao was about to successfully kill all of them and obtain the final victory, an incident suddenly happened.
“Sir, isn’t that enough? My Void Alliance’s Celestial Sovereigns have already died so many times at your hands. Do you still want to exterminate us?”
Once those words were said, Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes and immediately stopped advancing and quickly retreated.
Just as he retreated, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
That figure had an extremely powerful aura. It was a power that Ye Xiao had never seen before.
Even the Lord of Heaven Yin Shi seemed to be not worth mentioning in front of him.
He had already surpassed a Celestial Sovereign!
He was a Supreme Sovereign!
