YM778.TV Chapter 223: Fight! Fight! Fight!
Ye Guan sat down cross-legged and consumed a Supreme Divine-grade spiritual pill to recover. The rest of the group sat down cross-legged and meditated to recover. No one died, but everyone was badly injured.
The woman marred by a birthmark soon crawled out of the sea of blood. She glanced at Ye Guan before consuming a spiritual pill herself.
Lian Shuang and Zong Shou picked themselves up, too. They were both in a terrible state. Lian Shuang’s right arm was a mangled mess, similar to Ye Guan.
Everyone took some time to heal themselves.
An hour later, they got ready to challenge the Everlasting Will.
Ye Guan suddenly stood up, and everyone turned to look at him. He looked up at the summit with a determined look. He smirked slightly and stomped with his right foot.
Boom!
Lightning blossomed beneath his foot as he flew to the summit at lightning speed.
Buzz!
To everyone’s amazement, Ye Guan rushed toward the summit once more.
The woman marred by a birthmark followed suit, turning into a beam of dim light that streaked across the sky. Lian Shuang and Zong Shou followed after her. The rest hesitated slightly before rushing toward the summit once again.
One more time!
Boom!
Everyone soon plunged into the sea of blood.
The powerful Everlasting Will had thoroughly suppressed them.
Ye Guan crawled out of the sea of blood. His injuries were more severe this time, but he looked undeterred.
The Everlasting Will!
Ye Guan stared at the top of the mountain with a fiery glint in his eyes. Then, he sat down and healed his wounds again. The others looked pale from the harrowing experience. Some of them felt despair after two consecutive failures against the seemingly invincible Everlasting Will!
They felt that it was impossible to defeat the Everlasting Will.
Their worries weren’t unfounded. After all, they were talking about the Everlasting Will of the Unyielding Sovereign here. It was just a will, but how could they even hope to defeat it?
Some of them shook their heads at Ye Guan. They thought that he was too arrogant.
Soon, Ye Guan was all patched up save for a few wounds. He stood up once again and looked up. Without wasting another second, he stomped and transformed into a beam of sword light that sped across the air.
One more time!
The woman marred by a birthmark, Zong Shou, and Lian Shuang followed him. This time, only a few dozen among the crowd chased after them. The others chose to give up, thinking that it was futile.
They believed that none of them could handle the Everlasting Will.
Boom!
Another deafening explosion echoed as Ye Guan’s group fell from the sky.
Those who had given up smiled at the sight.
Ye Guan crawled out of the sea of blood. His injuries were severe, but he would live. He took out another spiritual pill and consumed it. The woman marred by a birthmark, Zong Shou, and Lian Shuang wore ugly looks not too far away from Ye Guan. They felt like insignificant ants before the Everlasting Will.
Defeat the Everlasting Will? It seemed impossible.
The woman marred by a birthmark looked at Ye Guan and frowned slightly as many different thoughts popped up in her head.
Ye Guan’s injuries healed rather quickly with the help of a Supreme Divine-grade spiritual pill. Everyone gasped in surprise as Ye Guan stood up and stared at the summit. Without wasting another second, he stomped and took off.
Many people shook their heads in disapproval. How stubborn and ignorant.
Just then, the woman marred by a birthmark took off and chased after Ye Guan.
Zong Shou and Lian Shuang also rushed toward the summit.
However, less than ten cultivators followed after them.
Ninety percent of the crowd had already given up.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion echoed as Ye Guan’s group plummeted into the sea of blood.
As expected, they failed once more. At this point, those among the crowd who had chosen to back out were thankful that they hadn’t chased after Ye Guan just now.
Ye Guan crawled out of the sea of blood once again. This time, his injuries were so severe that he couldn’t even sit down cross-legged. However, the smile on his face couldn’t be brighter.
He could now execute the Critical Method using sixteen swords.
The Everlasting Will was an incredible training partner!
Many people along the shore saw Ye Guan smiling to himself, and they frowned. A man dressed in black suddenly said, “Did he hit his head while falling and became a fool?”
The crowd burst out laughing.
He was a powerful swordsman, but he seemed dumb.
Meanwhile, the woman marred by a birthmark stared carefully at Ye Guan sprawled out on the ground. She consumed another spiritual pill to recover. Her ancient array also allowed her to recover quicker than others.
The woman marred by a birthmark stared deeply at Ye Guan. She was curious.
Was he really a foolish swordsman?
Soon, the woman marred by a birthmark recalled that Ye Guan’s attack during the attempt just now had gotten stronger. As far as she could remember, the Everlasting Will hadn’t gotten weaker; Ye Guan had gotten stronger.
In other words, Ye Guan was using the Everlasting Will to cultivate!
He was cultivating his will and his Sword Dao!
With that in mind, the woman marred by a birthmark closed her eyes. In fact, she had also realized that she was becoming stronger the more resistance she employed against the Everlasting Will.
Her will and mental strength had also gotten stronger. She was no longer afraid of the Everlasting Will.
The easiest way to get over fear was to face it.
The woman marred by a birthmark’s eyes narrowed as she stared at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan’s will and mental strength were terrifying.
Zong Shou and Lian Shuang had similar thoughts. At first, they wavered. Defeat the Everlasting Will? It was impossible! They were millions of years too young to do such a thing. However, they realized that they were no longer afraid of the Everlasting Will after resisting it a few times.
They got excited upon discovering the change.
Ye Guan stood up once again. The woman marred by a birthmark stood up as well while staring at Ye Guan, waiting for his next move.
Ye Guan looked at her and smiled.
The woman marred by a birthmark was surprised. Why is he smiling at me?
Ye Guan looked up and stared at the summit. With a stomp, he took off once more and rushed toward the summit.
The woman marred by a birthmark followed suit along with Zong Shou and Lian Shuang.
A young man followed them as well. The young man looked gentle, but his physique was sturdy and strong. He had a broad chest, and his muscles were bulging. His arms looked like boulders, and he was much taller than an average man.
He was a Physique Cultivator, and aside from him, no one else from the crowd dared to challenge the Everlasting Will.
There were originally a hundred and twenty people daring enough to challenge the Everlasting Will, but now, there were only five remaining challengers.
As usual, they stood no chance against the Everlasting Will.
The onlookers by the shore smirked. They mocked the five people for trying again and again. They were ignorant people working hard in vain; they were like eggs trying to shatter a boulder.
As time went on, more and more people mocked them. However, this wasn’t a strange sight at all, as people often draw pleasure from other people’s misfortune.
However, the group of five ignored the onlookers. No matter how many times they were struck down, they crawled up again and again.
Ten days went by in a flash. The group of five had failed a few hundred times at this point, but the Everlasting Will was only getting stronger and stronger.
However, the five did not give up. After taking some time to rest and heal, they would stand up again to challenge the Everlasting Will.
Ye Guan could finally wield twenty swords at once without Ao Qianqian’s help.
The other four were also becoming stronger. However, the Everlasting Will was also getting stronger, so they were still being suppressed. The onlookers still had no idea that the group of five had gotten stronger.
After Ye Guan crawled out of the sea of blood, he lay on the ground unmoving.
His injuries were severe, but he was thrilled. He could finally execute the Critical Method using twenty swords at the same time. His strength had increased significantly in just ten days.
The four members of his group were proud of themselves as well. They had lost all fear of the Everlasting Will. They still respected it, but they were no longer afraid of it.
The Physique Cultivator in the group gripped his fists tightly as he examined the changes in his body. He soon broke out into a grin. A thought jumped into his mind, and he turned toward Ye Guan.
“H-hello… Brother Ye!” he stammered.
Ye Guan looked at him and smiled. “What’s your name?”
The young man replied, “Han Zong!”
“Han Zong!”
Lian Shuang jumped in surprise, and he asked, “Are you from the Great Sky World?”
Han Zong nodded. “Yes!”
“You must be from the Sky Department of the Great Sky World!” said Lian Shuang.
Han Zong smiled. “That’s right!”
Lian Shuang nodded and smiled.
Ye Guan asked curiously, “The Sky Department of the Great Sky World?”
Lian Shuang explained, “The Great Sky World is the second strongest world among the worlds out there. The Sky Department is the strongest sect in the Great Sky World. Their members are mostly Physique Cultivators!”
Physique Cultivators! Ye Guan looked at Han Zong carefully and asked, “How strong is your physique?”
Han Zong grinned and said, “I’ve never lost to anyone in the same realm as me, and it’s all thanks to my physique.”
Ye Guan gave him a thumbs-up and praised, “You’re incredible!”
Han Zong suddenly asked, “Are we going to keep going?”
“Of course!” Ye Guan nodded. He looked at the summit with a determined gaze. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a beam of sword light that streaked across the air.
The others followed him.
On the fifteenth day of the challenge, the five failed at least ten thousand times.
The Everlasting Will remained merciless toward them, and it always sought to crush them. Every time the group failed, those by the shore would laugh at them.
Now, Ye Guan could wield twenty-five swords and execute the Critical Method with them at the same time!
The mysterious voice said that Ye Guan had become strong enough to kill a True Realm cultivator.
He was invincible among cultivators in the same rank as him, and he could beat cultivators ten realms higher than him.
Ye Guan remained steadfast in the challenge, and he made a breakthrough to the Minor Tribulation Realm from the Heaven Law Realm on the twentieth day of the challenge. His breakthrough went smoothly and without any hiccups
The group of five’s vigor had never once waned since the start of the challenge.
One more time!
The Everlasting Will appeared once more. However, the Everlasting Will didn’t make a move against them. Instead, it dispersed and created a path for them to traverse.
The group of five was taken aback, while the onlookers below them were flabbergasted. Wait, they passed? How?
After the initial shock, the expressions of a few cultivators by the shore turned cold. Some of them even glared sinisterly at the group of five above them.
They started to pity the group of five for their seemingly unending setback, but they actually ended up impressing the Everlasting Will? How could the cultivators who had backed out of the challenge accept that?
It would be fine if everyone failed, but how could only a select few succeed?
