The Sword Immortal Died

As the Flying Boat sailed away, it formed a curtain of light. Although the wind howled outside, the interior was very quiet. It was the first time Wang Xuan had used such a treasure to traverse the sky, and he felt a sense of novelty.

He was carefully sensing that if the Super Material ran out and the Flying Boat crashed, it would be a disaster; he would be killed by the fall.

He is now assessing how far the Flying Boat can travel, in order to gain experience for future battles and escapes.

So far, he is quite satisfied. No wonder he had to inject Super Material into the Flying Boat in many separate sessions last time; it was like a bottomless pit.

There was no need to waste any more Super Material; he was certain that the Flying Boat could fly for a long time after replenishing its Super Material.

At this moment, the Invisibility Talisman was about to expire. If someone saw such a Flying Boat traveling high in the sky, it would be a tragedy if it were shot down by a warship.

Having accomplished his mission, Wang Xuan left Kangning City and disappeared into the mountains hundreds of miles away, vanishing without a trace.

The outside world is abuzz with the news that the Sun family, a super conglomerate, has been attacked, with large parts of their buildings destroyed and dozens of people killed. It's definitely big news.

"Attack on the Sun family's headquarters? Who's so fierce? It's almost defying the heavens!"

On various platforms, people are discussing it extensively, feeling that it's unreal. The headquarters of a super conglomerate has been decimated. How many years has it been since something like this happened?

"Could it be that the Sword Immortal intervened? What heinous crime did the Sun family commit to provoke such a furious reaction from him?"

The first person that came to mind was Wang Xuan. There was no way around it; he was the one who had the fiercest conflict with the Sun family. Last time, the two sides fought to the bitter end, and it was impossible for them to make peace.

"Based on current surveillance footage, it appears that Wang Xuan was not the one who made the move," someone said.

Today, the concentration of extraordinary substances near the Sun family's residence is too high, causing various detectors to be knocked to pieces and suffer extensive damage.

Only from very far away can those detectors effectively capture some of the images.

"A Blood Shadow fought a fierce battle with a robot and went underground, after which various incidents broke out frequently at the Sun family's place."

"The Sun family has been taught a lesson, but what kind of monster was that Blood Shadow that had such destructive power, destroying everything in its path!"

The outside world is in an uproar, with various parties discussing the matter.

The battle is not over yet. Zhou Chong and the Mech Number Five are fighting fiercely underground. The scene was out of control for a time, and when they rushed out of the ground, they smashed through a shopping mall.

This affected ordinary people, with many injured or even killed at the scene, leaving behind large areas of blood. Yet they still showed no sign of stopping, and then sank into the ground.

This is quite terrifying. Fighting in the city, showing no regard for the lives of ordinary people, has caused a huge uproar.

Fortunately, Zhou Chong and Mech Number Five did not come up for a long time after entering the underground. It seems that when they reappear, they may have to fight to the death.

"That robot is special, did you see it? It can fight against superhumans, it's also casting spells, and it can even transform!"

Mech Number Five burst out of the ground, transformed into a miniature warship, and unleashed its full firepower, blasting Zhou Chong to pieces and severely injuring him.

However, Mech Number Five was very dissatisfied. It could only unlock to the Level Two State, and it lacked various Energy Substance. If it were back then, it could capture very powerful Innate God-Demon.

Zhou Chong was even more indignant. If he were in his prime, he felt that he could use the Supernatural Rule to annihilate swarms of extraordinary Mechanical Monster.

Underground, the two fought their way through the large cavern to the vicinity of the underground river.

"You have a life consciousness?!" Zhou Chong was both shocked and furious. He felt that this robot was not a technological object in the ordinary sense.

"All things have a spirit, and each is on its own journey. The Transcendent Immortals have fallen behind." Mech Number Five actually looked quite profound.

One of its mechanical arms was torn off, sparks of energy flying everywhere, but after it reconnected, the mechanical arm melted, the metal seemed to be alive, wriggling and sticking together, growing, and quickly recovering.

Zhou Chong felt heavy-hearted; this metallic monster was truly troublesome.

Outsiders, the conglomerates know more, and some high-ranking figures from large organizations look solemn, especially the Zhong and Qin Family. As super conglomerates, they also have motherships and have guessed the origin of Mech Number Five.

In the past, five motherships were unearthed on the moon, giving rise to the five superpowers we know today.

They immediately contacted the Sun family's top management and learned that the Sun family had indeed been forced to restart the mothership, which led to the emergence of this mysterious robot.

"You've all seen it, haven't you? What a disaster it can cause if superhumans cause trouble! All the major organizations should join forces!" The Sun family's tone was heavy as their top executives continued to speak with various financial conglomerates.

Other major powers are seriously asking what exactly happened, who the enemy is, and why this is happening.

The Sun family fell silent for a moment. Up until now, they were unaware that they had offended the beings behind the Great Curtain and destroyed the passage for a peerless expert to return.

Beneath Kangning City, Mech Number Five transformed again, becoming a cold metal cannon. Although it was low on energy, the Energy Beam it fired with a boom was still terrifying.

After Zhou Chong's Blood Shadow exploded, some of the blood was annihilated and dissipated, unable to return.

His reappearing Blood Shadow was much blurred, and his face was extremely gloomy. He had no choice but to activate his true bones, consume his Immortal Dao Origin, and use Supernatural Rule.

Snap!

Not far away, Mech Number Five was torn into four pieces, but it was not destroyed. It melted again and reformed itself, this time transforming into a Mech Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Boom!

It pounced forward with lightning speed, willingly being swept by the Supernatural Rule once again, breaking in two. At the same time, the energy cannon also hit the opponent, knocking out the piece of true bone.

The severed dragon head bit into the only true bone left in the mortal world after Zhou Chong's tribulation.

Snap!

Mech Number Five appears to be performing a death roll, attempting to destroy the immortal bones!

Zhou Chong really didn't know how to evaluate this Mechanical Monster. One moment it was full of technology, the next it was a superhuman, and then it was like a primitive savage beast, using every means possible. Now it was even biting!

A blinding light erupted, and an Energy Beam burst from the metal tyrannosaurus's mouth, striking the bone and producing a faint cracking sound.

Zhou Chong's true bones already had cracks, left by the heavenly tribulation of that year, and now one of the cracks has grown larger.

This time, Mech Number Five really dealt him a heavy blow!

Zhou Chong's various methods also landed on the opponent. Supernatural Rule were unleashed, and with a bang, Mech Number Five turned into a pile of scrap metal.

He showed no joy as he looked at the widening cracks on his immortal bone, which was almost broken. This was his Active Origin left in the mortal world, which needed to be slowly nurtured and strengthened to reshape his true body, but a portion of it was being consumed here.

His Active Origin is his lifeblood; losing even a little of it would be more terrifying than a severe blow to his vital energy!

Just as he activated his flying sword, intending to completely shred the metal fragments on the ground into dust, they rushed together at lightning speed, melted, and then transformed into a Metal Leopard, which escaped.

Mech Number Five felt that in its level 2 unlocked state, it was no match for this god-demon, as the other party gradually figured out its various methods.

Zhou Chong's expression changed. Even in this state, the other party could still reconstruct their body? He activated his Supernatural Rule again and said coldly, "I've found a light cluster similar to your spirit!"

Mech Number Five is special; it contains a substance similar to a spiritual entity, which is divided into multiple parts and located in different parts of the body, making it very well hidden.

Sizzle!

The Supernatural Rule flew out, piercing through three of those light clusters in succession.

However, the metal cheetah did not stop. With lightning speed, it burst out of the ground and fled towards the mothership base Kangning City.

Zhou Chong gave chase, but he stopped abruptly just outside the city, sensing something amiss ahead. He immediately turned back to the Sun family.

Then, he was dumbfounded. Where was the God Slaying Banner?!

It hadn't been long, so who picked it? He couldn't quite believe it.

Then, he looked down at the Silver Bell and said, "You still have one soul and one spirit outside. Did you do this?!"

Mr. Ghost cried out his innocence, clearly stating that one of his souls was hiding far away in the Jade Coffin, and dared not approach this place easily.

"If I fail to refine the Divine Bell and die here, there is still hope for my soul and spirit to be resurrected. How could I possibly let him set his sights on the even more dangerous God Slaying Banner?"

Where is Yuan Hong? Zhou Chong saw the fragments of the precious mirror on the ground, and his heart sank. He realized that something had happened here while he was away.

His Blood Shadow trembled, his eyes cold. That was the God Slaying Banner that had disappeared in ancient times. It had finally reappeared, and he had missed it!

He entered the Sun family's residence and discovered that the Golden Bamboo Slip was also missing. He staggered and felt an urge to vomit blood.

Then, a chill ran through his body. He thought he was the first being to return from behind the Great Curtain, but now it seemed there must have been even earlier, maybe more than one.

He sensed something amiss in the two secret vaults and didn't dare step inside.

He calmed himself down. This time, he obtained the Soul Locking Bell, which was actually a divine object from ancient legends. Even if it was not as good as the God Slaying Banner, it was not much worse.

Thinking about these things made him feel much better.

He silently lurked around the Sun family, intending to finish them off and wipe them out. He had sworn an oath to the peerless expert in the Great Curtain to deal with these mortals within three days, and then find a way to rebuild the passage.

When Zhou Chong arrived at the shrine, he was terrified.

His true bones were on his body, making him most sensitive to Mysterious Factor and beings that Ascension to Immortality. He sensed the true bones in the Divine Statue and then discovered that the other party had grown flesh and blood and was in a deep slumber.

In an instant, his hair stood on end. This place really had an owner. Could it be that a peerless expert had paid a terrible price to sneak back ahead of time?

He held the Soul Locking Bell, his face grim and uncertain. The immortal realm behind the Great Curtain was far from as peaceful as he had imagined, with years of war. Should he take advantage of this person's slumber and kill him?

But in the end, he chickened out and silently withdrew from the area, afraid of provoking a powerful figure.

He naturally saw through the other party's intentions at a glance: to seize the Sun Family Secret Vault, take all the treasures, and turn this place into a Daoist temple!

If the mythology completely decays in three years and the Transcendent Immortals fall from grace and can never rise again, then the other party doesn't need to worry too much. They have already made arrangements in advance and taken over a conglomerate, so they won't have to live a miserable life after becoming mortals. They can still wield power and influence.

Zhou Chong sighed. More than two thousand years had passed, the world had changed, and even mortals could now severely injure Transcendent Immortals. This was something he could neither imagine nor accept.

In his time, the fate of a superhuman could change the dynasty.

In this new era, what has he experienced in the past three days? First, he was bombarded by warships at Source Pool Mountain, destroying the passage. Today, he was repeatedly blasted Blood Shadow by a robot here.

"The world has changed." He sighed softly, feeling that he needed to lie low for a while, recuperate, and familiarize himself with and adapt to everything that was now on the New Star.

Thump!

A terrifying beam of light descended from the sky and struck him, eliciting shock and anger. Although he had been distracted, other factors were at play; a being of the same level was targeting him.

High in the sky, Mech Number Five sat in the Sun family's warship, personally directing the bombardment of Zhou Chong.

With a crack, Zhou Chong's true bone broke, blood splattered, and he roared, sinking into the ground along with the Soul Locking Bell, which was buzzing from the shock.

He escaped using Earth Escape!

Zhou Chong never imagined that he would have such a miserable day. After returning to the Human World, he was met with such a tragic and humiliating fate. Was there anyone who had passed away more tragically than him?

Kangning City was calm, but the outside world was in an uproar, stirring up huge waves.

Even if the Sun family wanted to hide it, they couldn't. With questioning from all sides, and some people's deductions and revelations, people figured out a lot of the truth.

There was a gathering of extraordinary individuals at Source Pool Mountain. The Sun family wanted to wipe them out in one fell swoop by attacking with warships and massacring everyone, but they ended up stirring up a hornet's nest.

This naturally involved Grant of the Agon Zaibatsu revealing the truth. He was heartbroken and often told people that he would hear Christine's cries in his dreams, saying that she died a very tragic death.

"There are extraordinary individuals taking revenge on the Sun family, but it's not Wang Xuan."

"Where is the Sword Immortal? Could he have died at Source Pool Mountain? Was he killed by the Sun family's warships?!"

For many days, the Source Pool Mountain incident continued to escalate. Some people were concerned about just how strong Blood Shadow was, some were speculating about the origin of that robot, and others were discussing Wang Xuan's life or death.

"Could Wang Xuan really have been killed by the Sun family?" an acquaintance worried.

For many days in a row, Wang Xuan was nowhere to be found, and there was no information about him whatsoever. Even Zhong Cheng, Zhou Yun, and the others felt heavy-hearted.

Professor Lin and Qin Cheng kept calling various parties, trying to find Wang Xuan, and were very worried that something might have happened to him.

"Could something have really happened to Wang Xuan?" Even Guan Lin frowned.

Old Chen shook his head, very confident, not believing he would die at all, but still said, "If this kid has a short life and something really happens, then my son will be named Chen Xuan."

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and Wang Xuan still hadn't appeared. Many acquaintances were starting to have doubts, and others even thought that the Sword Immortal was dead!

Wang Xuan secluded himself in the mountains, finding peace and tranquility in his practice, free from the scrutiny of powerful figures and tycoons. He felt a rare escape from the watchful eyes of the Sun family and others.

During this period, he mainly studied the Golden Bamboo Slip and comprehended this Supreme Scriptures, all for the purpose of Path Setting!

In addition, he was slowly refining the God Slaying Banner. This thing was too terrifying; he could only use time to temper it and handle it with extreme caution.

During the two months that Wang Xuan disappeared, many changes occurred in the outside world. Discussions about extraordinary beings were no longer surprising, and some people even mentioned various legends about Transcendent Immortals.

Some high-ranking figures in the conglomerate have been significantly affected because strange things have been happening in their homes, such as ancient artifacts coming back to life, and someone... visiting their dreams!

The extraordinary is approaching reality, and mythology seems to be making a comeback.

The family that considers itself the orthodox one in the realm of Old Arts had several members who became immortals in ancient times. Now, this family is becoming increasingly active, and it seems that something is happening.

In addition, several Old Arts families that had disappeared in the past have resurfaced, and some of them have emerged.

"Those people have been isolated on the Supernatural Planet for many years, and now that the Super Material is receding, perhaps we can bring them back!" Some of the conglomerates were discussing this.

Everything unfolded as Wang Xuan had predicted. In this extraordinary era, all sorts of strange and unsavory characters seemed to be emerging, and the New Star was becoming increasingly restless.
