Chapter 224: What Is There to Fear in Failure?

As those two swords appeared, the entire chaotic void spacetime shattered directly — even this chaotic void spacetime could not withstand the power of these two swords.

In an instant, the two of them plummeted into a special pitch-black spacetime.

The Dark Void!

This place was as if shrouded on all sides by a thick black curtain, with no light, no color of any kind, only endless darkness and nothingness.

Here, even the passage of time ceased to exist. It was like an eternally frozen moment, where everything felt utterly dead and still.

This was no longer the battlefield arranged by Xianbao Pavilion — the power of those two swords had simply been too overwhelming, forcibly dragging them into an entirely new battlefield.

At this moment, those experts from Xianbao Pavilion and Guanxuan Domain who had been on the verge of despair suddenly erupted in cheers all at once, because the power Yang Jia had just displayed was truly terrifying — he had instantly reversed the suppression against the previously unstoppable Ye Tianming!

They had found hope again.

It had to be said that this martial arts tournament had been a rollercoaster for them — their hearts could barely take it anymore.

The other spectators were equally thrilled. They had thought Ye Tianming was about to win the tournament, yet to their surprise, Yang Jia had turned the tide completely.

In that moment, everyone’s gaze fell upon those two swords, all of them curious — just what kind of swords were these, that they could instantly shatter everything Ye Tianming had? And they had done so in a manner that was utterly overwhelming.

Simply unbelievable!

In the shadows, when Jidian saw Yang Jia draw the swords, his expression immediately turned grave. He had once had his Dao heart shattered by one of those swords, and now Yang Jia was using that sword again — and this time, both of them!

What shocked him was that the other sword was no weaker than the one that had injured him back then. Just what kind of world was this……. that it still harbored such peerlessly powerful beings.

He turned to look at Old Yang. It was obvious that this bastard knew, but he didn’t ask — asking this bastard to swallow his pride? In his dreams.

Old Yang paid no attention to Jidian this time either. His gaze remained fixed on Yang Jia, his brow deeply furrowed. He had not expected Yang Jia to actually use these two swords.

Whether it was the Sword Master of the Human Realm or the Sword Master of Guanxuan, neither had ever used these two swords against opponents of the same level — those two had basically only drawn these swords when being bullied far too severely by someone of a higher level.

But now —

Old Yang shook his head and sighed. Yang Jia using these two swords was by no means a good thing, even if he won — that still wouldn’t be a good thing.

“Young Master is unrivaled!”

Just then, someone in the arena cheered again.

Quickly, one cheer after another rang out, shaking the entire stellar universe.

Ye Tianming was one person, but Yang Jia was not alone — he represented a vast network of forces, and behind that network were countless smaller factions, all gathered around Guanxuan Academy and Xianbao Pavilion.

Yang Jia served their interests!

On Ye Tianming’s side, through several great battles he had also gained some supporters, and they too fell into despair at this moment — true, absolute despair.

The power those two swords had displayed was genuinely enough to make anyone despair.

Two Great Daos combined with mortal bloodline, and it was shattered in an instant!

Moreover, the feeling those two swords gave people was that even if Ye Tianming’s cultivation were a level higher, it would make no difference whatsoever.

Within the chaotic void spacetime, Ye Tianming looked at his shattered Dao manifestation in silence. After a moment, he slowly raised his head to look at Yang Jia not far away. At this moment, the instant Yang Jia gripped those two swords, his entire bearing underwent a world-shaking transformation.

It was an aura of invincibility over all things!

Of course, this was not Yang Jia’s own aura — it was the aura of those two swords.

Yang Jia, who had completely entered a state of demonic frenzy, was trembling all over, yet his eyes remained locked onto Ye Tianming, and it was clear he still recognized him.

Yang Jia suddenly threw his head back and roared, then gripped the swords tightly with both hands and charged toward Ye Tianming.

But just then, a beam of golden light suddenly shot straight down into the arena, blocking Yang Jia’s path.

Within the golden light, a phantom figure materialized.

Tower Lord!

Tower Lord directly stopped Yang Jia, hurriedly saying, “Little Jia, if you use these two swords, even a victory would be an unworthy one, and it will also cause serious problems for your Dao heart. You must not use these swords…….”

“Shut up!”

At that moment, Yang Jia suddenly pointed both swords directly at the small tower, his eyes bloodshot, and snarled, “You are nothing but a dog of my Yang family — how dare you presume to tell me what to do. Get lost!!”

Hearing those words, the small tower was instantly stunned.

Completely and utterly stunned.

It had never imagined that Yang Jia would say such things to it —

But it quickly understood.

No one knew the demonic frenzy bloodline better than it did. Once this bloodline was activated and full demonic frenzy set in, it actually came down to two words: truth.

Therefore, there was only one explanation for what Yang Jia had just said — that this was how Yang Jia had always thought of it deep down.

In that moment, its heart felt as though it had plunged into an ice cellar.

In the shadows, when Old Yang heard Yang Jia’s words, his brow immediately furrowed. “His Dao heart has a problem.”

It was clear that losing to Ye Tianming twice in a row — although Yang Jia had said on the surface that he didn’t care — had in truth left a very, very deep mark on him inside. He had simply hidden it, and hidden it well. Under normal circumstances, it naturally wouldn’t have caused any issues, but just now…… he had nearly lost to Ye Tianming a third time.

How could anyone endure three such blows? And all of them at the hands of the same person.

Combined with the influence of the demonic frenzy bloodline at this moment, the problem with his state of mind had been magnified all at once.

“Fine, fine!”

The small tower suddenly laughed. “I, Little Tower, am a dog of your Yang family…… fine, fine, fine!”

With that, it transformed into a beam of golden light and vanished into the far horizon.

After the small tower left, Yang Jia suddenly looked up toward Ye Tianming not far away. As before, his eyes were filled with ferocity and killing intent. He was about to strike and utterly destroy Ye Tianming — but as he swung his sword, one of the swords in his hand suddenly shuddered violently and flew right out of his grip.

It was the Xingdao Sword!

Yang Jia looked at the Xingdao Sword in puzzlement. The Xingdao Sword spoke for the first time. “I refuse to be a dog of your Yang family.”

With those words, it transformed into a streak of sword light and followed the small tower away.

Why did the sword just leave?

Everyone was baffled.

The departure of the Xingdao Sword gave Yang Jia a brief moment of pause, but quickly, under the influence of the demonic frenzy bloodline, he stopped thinking about it and turned to look at Ye Tianming not far away. So what if he only had one sword?

Yang Jia glared at Ye Tianming with a ferocious expression and rasped, “Don’t you have the Zhongsheng Law? Come on then!”

Hum!

As a sword cry rang out, Yang Jia transformed into a streak of sword light and slashed ferociously toward Ye Tianming not far away.

Yang Jia wielding the Ancestor Sword was undeniably invincible. This single slash tore through everything, actually ripping a deep crack through this special spacetime.

There was virtually no material in the world that could withstand this sword!

Ye Tianming slowly closed his eyes. He slowly extended his hand, and as a sword cry rang out, the Tianming Sword appeared in his grasp.

Ye Tianming looked at the Tianming Sword and smiled. “Are you afraid?”

Xiao Hun burst out laughing. “What is there to fear?”

Ye Tianming smiled. The next moment, he transformed into a streak of sword light and charged straight at Yang Jia. As he surged forward, two streams of Great Dao power erupted from within him, along with his bloodline power — all of his strength ultimately converged into a terrifying torrent of force, which then crashed violently into Yang Jia!

Boom!

The instant the two swords made contact, a deafening explosion thundered out. Then everyone watched as all of Ye Tianming’s power was shattered completely in an instant, and he himself was sent flying back tens of thousands of zhang by Yang Jia’s sword!

Not only that — the moment he came to a stop, the Tianming Sword in his hand shattered with a resounding crash.

An outright crushing!

Witnessing this scene, everyone from Guanxuan Domain and Xianbao Pavilion erupted into frenzied cheers.

The other spectators were all stunned. Just what kind of sword was this? Why had Yang Jia’s power reached such a level after using it?

Yang Jia’s current strength had completely and utterly surpassed the Dao Establishment realm.

Not far away, Jidian was also staring fixedly at the sword in Yang Jia’s hand, deeply wary of it.

He was actually curious about this sword — or rather, its owner — because even now, he had been unable to find any upper limit to this sword. It seemed as though there simply was none.

A sword grows strong through its wielder — which meant the true owner of this sword was the one who was genuinely terrifying.

“Yang Ye!”

Jidian slowly closed his eyes. “Don’t think you can shake my Dao heart. I, Jidian, will defeat you one day!”

Hearing Jidian’s words, Old Yang immediately turned to look at him, his face full of astonishment. “What the hell, you absolute idiot……”

Jidian simply ignored him and turned to look at the Dark Void battlefield.

Old Yang also turned to look at the Dark Void battlefield. At this moment, Yang Jia gripped the Ancestor Sword, utterly dominant, the very image of invincibility.

Old Yang’s brow was deeply furrowed.

On the other side, after Ye Tianming’s sword shattered, the next moment the Tianming Sword reformed directly from his palm.

It reappeared!

A mortal sword!

One with its master.

So long as all living beings endured, it too would endure.

Yang Jia looked at the Tianming Sword as it reformed. “Let’s see how many of my strikes you can take…….”

With that, he transformed into a streak of sword light and vanished from where he stood.

Hum!

As a sword cry rang out, the entire Dark Void was forcibly torn open by that streak of sword light.

A terrifying sword pressure instantly bore down upon Ye Tianming, carrying within it not only overwhelming sword force but also a boundless killing intent.

This strike was clearly meant to utterly destroy Ye Tianming.

And because of the Ancestor Sword, the sword power of this strike had completely and entirely surpassed the bounds of this world.
