Chapter 777 - The Supreme Sovereign (1/2)

…

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!”
