I Have A Sword

Everyone turned and saw a man in a flowing black robe emerging slowly from the Ancient God Capital. His aura was imposing, and he radiated an intense power. There was a trace of wild defiance in his eyes as well.

Upon seeing this man, the Great Daoist Brush Master's face instantly darkened. The man was none other than Gu Pan!

Even Ye Guan was a little surprised.He's finally come out of closed-door cultivation!

Moreover, he seemed to have grown even stronger.

With just a single step, Gu Pan arrived directly in front of the Great Daoist Brush Master. Staring at him, Gu Pan laughed heartily and said, "Shall we have a little spar?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master locked eyes with Gu Pan. "I have to say, you're quite talented."

"Bwahahaha!" Gu Pan roared with laughter. "Great Daoist Brush Master, during my time in seclusion, I've comprehended many things. Come, come, accompany me for some practice."

Without waiting for an answer, he stepped forward and threw a punch.

With that punch, a majestic and overwhelming aura surged out, sweeping across the heavens and shaking the surrounding space, causing it to warp and ripple.

The Great Daoist Brush Master didn't move, but beside him, King Yan flicked his sleeve, and the terrifying force of the punch was directly crushed.

Gu Pan's eyes shifted to King Yan, his gaze growing excited. "A god?"

King Yan glared at him coldly. "You're overestimating yourself."

Gu Pan laughed again. "I've always wanted to fight a so-called 'god.' Now's the perfect time."

His right hand clenched into a fist. In an instant, billions of stars appeared in the sky above.

King Yan said, "My cultivation is higher than yours. I won't bully you."

With that, he suppressed his cultivation level to the peak of ninth-level True Dao.

The Great Daoist Brush Master initially wanted to intervene. After all, his goal was Ye Guan. Even though victory was within reach, as long as Ye Guan hadn't fully surrendered, there was always a chance that things could change.

However, he decided not to stop them, as that would only be disrespectful to King Yan. Besides, he wanted to see King Yan give this simpleton a good beating as well.

Gu Pan's eyes focused on King Yan. In front of a god, and not just any god, there was no hint of fear in his eyes. On the contrary, there was boundless fighting intent. His right hand slowly clenched, and in his palm, billions of stars appeared.

Starry Rulebreaker!

Feeling the terrifying power in Gu Pan's palm, everyone's expressions grew grim. Even the Great Daoist Brush Master, who usually found Gu Pan annoying, had to admit that this fool had some skill.

Gu Pan's Dao grew stronger and stronger as billions of stars manifested on his hand!

Even the assembled gods were shocked. They knew that if Gu Pan were in the same cultivation realm as them, they wouldn't be able to defeat him.

Kust then, Gu Pan suddenly released his hand, and that power of billions of stars scattered like shooting stars. In that instant, his aura completely vanished without a trace.

Everyone froze.What is he doing?

King Yan also frowned, not understanding Gu Pan's actions.

The Great Daoist Brush Master stared at him. Then, suddenly, his eyes widened in shock. "You..."

Gu Pan's figure began to blur and turn illusory. No one could feel his presence at all!

The Great Daoist Brush Master whispered in awe, "To merge one's body with heaven and earth, and to fuse the Dao with the vast expanse..."

He held the Great Dao in his hand, but the Great Dao was impossible to fully grasp. He was only holding a fragment of it, and when he opened his hand... he merged with the vast expanse!

It was like water; if one poured water into a cup, one would only have a cup of water, but if one poured it into the ocean, the cup of water would become one with the ocean!

At this moment, Gu Pan had decided to let go.

His billions of stars were no longer confined to his Dao. When his billions of stars embraced the vast expanse, their power was instantly magnified more than tenfold.

Gu Pan wasn't a god, but his technique had definitely reached the level of a god.

Sensing the terrifying might of the technique, every god's face changed drastically. They could hardly believe it. Gu Pan wasn't a god, and he was a mere avatar, yet he somehow managed to unleash such a powerful attack!

How could someone be this monstrous?

The Great Daoist Brush Master had to admit that this "simpleton" was impressive.

Across from Gu Pan, King Yan's eyes narrowed. The last trace of contempt in his heart vanished completely. All around him, the endless power of the stars surged forward, and the spacetime boiled, becoming illusory.

The surrounding gods quickly retreated, distancing themselves from. King Yan spread his hands, and two beams of golden light shot up from his palms, containing an unparalleled might that swept across endless star fields, crushing everything in their path.

Under the two oppressive and terrifying auras, every god present revealed a grave face and felt a suffocating pressure.

Boom!

When the two colossal forces collided, a deafening roar echoed through the battlefield. Layer upon layer of devastating shockwaves spread out like tidal waves, causing the entire region of spacetime to be obliterated into nothingness.

In the distance, Ye Guan was using his sword intent to forcibly resist these shockwaves. His expression was extremely serious, and he was honestly surprised. He hadn't expected Gu Pan's strength to grow so rapidly.

On that battlefield, King Yan and Gu Pan's power had not vanished. The endless stellar energy and terrifying pressure raged violently.

However, Gu Pan's aura was only growing stronger. From the deepest reaches of the vast expanse, an unending stream of stellar energy poured into him. The stellar energy wasn't just gathering randomly; it was arranging itself in a very special formation...

What was most terrifying was that Gu Pan's figure had become completely illusory. He had merged completely with the countless stars. His Starry Rulebreaker technique had transformed into a true Great Dao!

Zong Xin murmured softly, "He's a Pseudo-god..."

Ye Guan asked, "A Pseudo-god?"

Zong Xin explained, "He's not a god, but he has already established his Dao. Moreover, this Dao is strong enough for him to become one. Given enough time, he will definitely become a god.

"He didn't rely on the Divine Will, which means that if he doesn't stray from the Dao, he will become a Fate God. I have to say... this friend of yours is quite something..."

Ye Guan nodded. "He's excellent, just like me!"

Zong Xin fell silent.

Far in the distance, a terrifying burst of stellar energy suddenly erupted. Under the gaze of everyone present, in the deepest reaches of the cosmos, a fist of pure starlight shattered the void and slammed straight into King Yan.

Faced with Gu Pan's punch, King Yan's eyes glinted with a ferocious light. Instead of retreating, he advanced, soaring into the sky, punching straight at the starlight descending upon him.

He had fought for a long time against the experts of the Heretic Region, so his punch carried an incredibly terrifying, murderous intent. Endless energy swept out, consuming everything.

Boom!

A deafening explosion resounded. Everyone saw a figure being repeatedly blasted backwards.

It was King Yan! He was blasted tens of thousands of meters away, and the terrifying battle intent in his punch was forcibly suppressed.

All the gods present were utterly horrified. King Yan was a massive figure in the Boundary of Truth and Illusion. Even though he had suppressed his realm, Gu Pan wasn't even in his true form.

And he was still no match for Gu Pan? How could this be?

Everyone turned to look at Gu Pan, their eyes filled with disbelief.

After King Yan came to a halt, he glanced down at his body. Cracks had appeared all over his body. He paused for a moment, then slowly lifted his head to look at Gu Pan in the distance. "You've yet to step into the Divine Realm, but you already possess such power. Impressive!"

Gu Pan's eyes slowly closed, his fists tightly clenched. He could sense the countless stars of the vast expanse.

Power! Endless, boundless power!

He was not just enhancing his technique; he was also strengthening his Dao. This time, he had finally created his own Great Dao.

The Great Daoist Brush Master said, "It is indeed impressive, building your own Dao through a technique. I must say that I've never seen anyone do that.

"However, your Great Dao is still somewhat immature. You still need some time to refine it. You may leave now, I won't bother you."

He genuinely admired his talent.

Gu Pan opened his eyes and turned to look at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan said, "Brother Gu, whatever you choose to do, I respect your decision."

Gu Pan, however, laughed. "Do you really think I'm someone who fears death? Since I've chosen to stand with you, I'll see this through to the end."

"Are you sure?" Ye Guan asked.

Gu Pan said, "Of course. I, Gu Pan, may not be a saint, but I know the weight of loyalty and honor. So long as you do not betray me, I will never betray you."

The Great Daoist Brush Master calmly remarked, "Ye Guan, you have no chance of winning anymore. I've already calculated all your possibilities. I know you went to get more reinforcements, but frankly, it's useless. Now, unless you call for even more help, you can't break this deadlock."

Ye Guan was silent. He hadn't expected the Great Daoist Brush Master to even know that he had left to seek help.

A confident smile broke out on the Great Daoist Brush Master's face. Everything was within his control. Unless Ye Guan called for more reinforcements, he would be doomed.

Even if those reinforcements were here, they would be of no use.

After a moment of silence, Ye Guan looked at Gu Pan and said, "Brother Gu..."

Gu Pan laughed again. "Brother Ye, say no more! I'm fighting by your side today. If we can win, we'll win. If not, we'll die trying!"
