Chapter 1638: Chapter 1638

Erya walked out with Little White in her arms. She stared at Dao Menzhu with an eerie gaze... like a starving human who had just spotted a roast suckling pig.

Even though she had been eating candied hawthorn for quite a while now, she used to eat peope, and it had been so long since she last ate one! She licked her lips greedily, and her eyes gleamed with impatience.

Little White quickly covered her mouth and looked toward An Nanjing to remind her that Sister Jing was still around.

Erya glanced at An Nanjing, and then she muttered in dissatisfaction, "Why can humans eat demonic beasts, but demonic beasts can't eat humans? Little White, we should protest!"

Little White shook her head frantically and waved her paws. Then, she covered her rear.

Sister Jing was too scary. Protesting meant a beating.

Not far away, Dao Menzhu stared fixedly at Erya. Although she looked harmless, he dared not underestimate her. He knew none of these people were ordinary and that this little girl was a demonic beast.

He couldn't tell how powerful she was, but she was certainly not weak!

Moreover, that furry creature beside her was a Spirit Progenitor. He couldn't afford to be careless!

As he walked toward Erya and Little White, purple lightning surged around him. At the same time, the purple lightning sword in his hand trembled violently. Waves of terrifying sword energy burst from within him, shaking the surroundings.

Erya kept licking her candied hawthorn, staring silently at him.

Dao Menzhu glared at her. Suddenly, he raised his sword, unleashing a wave of purple lightning from its tip. Lightning surged across the sky, engulfing the surroundings.

In a flash, he turned into a streak of purple sword light and slashed at Erya!

Countless bolts of lightning accompanied this strike.

It was a full-powered attack; he was not holding back at all.

Erya stepped forward and swung her fist.

To everyone's shock, her punch shattered the attack. All the lightning and sword energy exploded like glass being pounded by a hammer. It was destroyed so effortlessly.

Dao Menzhu's pupils constricted. Alarmed, he realized he'd kicked a steel wall.

He tried to retreat, but her punch had already destroyed all his power. It drove forward, coming straight at him. Just as he tried to retreat, a terrifying force pinned him in place; there was no escape.

Dao Menzhu panicked. He knew his only chance was to go all in. He clenched his hands, unleashing all the purple lightning and sword energy toward Erya.

However, it was like paper before her terrifying fist.

Before everyone's eyes, her punch crushed all the purple lightning and sword energy. Dao Menzhu was blasted tens of thousands of meters away. As soon as he stopped, his fleshly body exploded and his soul disintegrated before everyone's eyes.

One punch and he was obliterated.

The East Desolates experts nearby were dumbfounded.

This seemingly harmless little girl was that terrifying?

Dao Menzhu gazed at Erya in a daze. He thought she was strong, but not this strong. Her strength far surpassed even the East Desolates Beast God... No, how could that so-called Beast God compare to her?

His thoughts lasted only briefly as his soul vanished into the void.

Ye Guan opened his palm, and Dao Menzhu's storage ring flew into his hand. He glanced at Erya, who was also looking at him.

Ye Guan smiled awkwardly. "Let's split it half and half."

Erya shook her head and sighed. "Our grandson is too pitiful, treating a bunch of junk like treasure... He even thought I was going to steal it... So pitiful."

Little White nodded repeatedly; her big eyes full of sympathy and pity.

Ye Guan was utterly dumbfounded. Her words made Ye Guan feel odd. What kind of life have they been living? And what kind of life have I been living?

Still, he put away the ring. Hard times meant one couldn't care about pride.

He turned to look at the East Desolates experts. When they saw him look their way, their expressions changed. Now, they realized, this guy was strong, but the people behind him were even stronger.

Ye Guan looked at Jun You in the distance. The moment his gaze landed on her, his sword flew out.

A strike with unstoppable force flew toward Jun You; it was unimaginably fast as well.

Jun You's pupils contracted. She wanted to resist, but the sword pressure from Ye Guan's strike crushed her completely. Under such sword intent, she had no power to fight back.

She despaired, feeling helpless. This sword was beyond anything she could resist.

She realized that they were no longer in the same world.

Just as Ye Guan's sword was about to pierce her forehead, an invisible force suppressed it in midair.

Ye Guan frowned and looked beside Jun You.

A man had appeared there without anyone noticing it.

The East Desolates Ruler!

At that moment, Sang Zhan appeared beside Ye Guan as well.

The East Desolates Ruler turned to Ye Guan and smiled. "No wonder the Divinity favored you. You're full of surprises, breaking through your limits in such a desperate moment. Your Sword Dao is close to breaking the boundary..."

Ye Guan stared back silently, his eyes burning with the intent to fight.

The East Desolates Ruler noticed this and smiled slightly. Then he looked at Qingqiu and the others. "No wonder the Great Daoist Brush Master was so cautious before... so you've all fought in the Ascension Battles..."

Qingqiu clearly wasn't interested in the East Desolates Ruler. She walked up to Ye Guan's side. "It's time for us to go."

Now that Ye Guan had truly matured, they could finally rest easy.

Ye Guan asked, "Aunt Qingqiu, are you all..."

Qingqiu smiled. "Want to know what we're up to?"

Qingqiu looked toward Erya. Erya walked over with Little White in her arms, licking her candied hawthorn. "We're fighting in a place. There's someone really strong there. Want to come?"

Ye Guan was intrigued. "What place?"

Erya grinned. "The Origin Universe."

Ye Guan asked, "What's that?"

Erya grinned. "A really fun place. Your mom is there, too."

Ye Guan was shocked. "Mother is there, too?"

Erya nodded. "She's made all kinds of strange things and got a bunch of treasures for you..."

Erya's eyes sparkled as she spoke.

Little White's eyes were huge with excitement. In her mind, anything belonging to her grandson was also hers.

Ye Guan was speechless.

Qingqiu suddenly smiled. "With your strength, you can go, but think carefully about it."

Ye Guan looked at her.

Qingqiu smiled meaningfully.

Ye Guan fell silent. Fighting.

Erya had said they were fighting there, not just fighting people. And even Erya said someone there was strong, which meant a lot. She had almost never acknowledged others as strong.

Combined with Qingqiu's meaningful smile, Ye Guan had a guess. He looked at Qingqiu. She said nothing but nodded lightly.

Ye Guan smiled. "All things must end. Maybe that's not a bad thing. Of course I'm going."

Qingqiu nodded approvingly. "With such a mindset, that's excellent."

Erya suddenly took out a scroll and handed it to Ye Guan. "Here."

Ye Guan looked at her.

Erya said, "This is a star chart to the Origin Universe. Your mom made it. Buying one costs twenty-eight thousand Ancestral Spirit Crystals... We're bandits, but I think your mom's even worse than us!"

Little White waved her little paws in agreement.

Ye Guan was dumbfounded.

Erya licked her candied hawthorn again. "You want to come with us now? We can take you part of the way."

Ye Guan looked at Sang Zhan and said, "I'll come after I finish things here."

Erya nodded. "Okay. When you get to the Origin Universe, come to the Guanxuan Domain. And if anyone causes you trouble, just say that Little White and I sent you. No one will dare touch you there!"

Ye Guan smiled. "Okay!"

Erya suddenly realized this poor grandson wasn't doing well. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on n0velfire.net

"Little White, give him a weapon for protection."

Ye Guan was moved. For once, he felt genuinely grateful to be their "grandson."

Little White dug around, eventually pulling out a long spear made of bone. As soon as it appeared, a terrifying aura swept across the entire Wastesea, and the Wastesea itself became illusory.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Ye Guan's eyes lit up. Damn, just one glance and he felt a connection with it.

The East Desolates Ruler's eyes narrowed. "A Supreme Divine artifact..."

But then, Erya shoved the spear back into Little White's pouch. She pressed her forehead to Little White's and whispered, "This one's not suitable. Pick another one."

Ye Guan was dumbfounded.

Little White blinked, and then she dug around again. This time, she pulled out a bone axe. As soon as it appeared, everyone felt as if their souls were being crushed.

The East Desolates Ruler frowned and flicked his sleeve, dispersing the aura.

However, his expression was grim. "Another Supreme Divine artifact..."

Ye Guan's expression changed. That aura was overwhelming, but it vanished as soon as Erya stuffed the axe back into the pouch.

Ye Guan was speechless.

Erya pulled Little White aside and whispered a bit. Then, she returned and handed Ye Guan a small, emerald-green seed. It looked like a melon seed and was emanating a faint energy.

Ye Guan asked, "What is this?"

Erya replied, "We, uh... we found it by accident. Supposedly, you can plant it in your body. Don't know what it does, but here, take it!"

You can plant it in your body? That's very sus... Ye Guan paused. "Can I trade it for that spear... or axe?"

Erya quickly shook her head. "No, no. You just improved your Sword Dao. It's not good to rely on external tools. It'll hurt your progress."

Ye Guan was speechless.

Erya placed the seed in his hand and said, "We're leaving now."

Ye Guan quickly asked, "Can I borrow some money?"

This time, before Erya could speak, Little White shook her head vigorously and waved her paws.

Ye Guan looked at Erya, confused.

Erya interpreted, saying, "She says your dad still owes her money... and hasn't paid her back yet."

Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
