Finally Entering Old Zhong's Study
There was only one black chain on his body, but it did not fall off after it broke. It was like a living thing, still trying to burrow into Wang Xuan's body.
He was bleeding even more, his clothes were torn, and Blood Water was dripping onto the ground; the scene was rather gruesome.
No one could see what it was; it was as if some unknown creature had locked him up and was trying to take him away.
"Langling?" Wang Xuan immediately thought of this kind of monster. The black iron chains that could only be seen with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, were they their doing?
Sizzle!
Seven small, blood-red swords pressed down again, trying to pierce his body.
"This is a curse, invisible and intangible, and it must be removed as soon as possible," Cao Qingyu said, telling him that if it wasn't resolved quickly, his life would be in danger.
Zhou Shiqian said, "If the Supernatural World had not collapsed, this phenomenon could be explained because there are several immortal methods that can cause this result. But now, those techniques that are close to the rules can no longer be used."
Many of the Transcendent Immortals' wondrous methods became mere decorations, utterly useless.
In the present world, only simple spells, such as Lion's Roar, Thunder, and Heavenly Fire, which directly utilize Super Material, can be used as usual.
Wang Xuan stared at Cao Qingyu. If he dared to come over, then war would break out. In his current state, he would never allow such a person to get close to him.
Boom!
A blinding crimson glow surged up, emerging from Wang Xuan's pores, then swirled around him like a whirlwind, heating several iron chains until they were red-hot, shredded, and torn off.
At the same time, seven small, bright red swords that had just pierced his skin were ejected by the impact.
At this moment, Professor Lin rushed over and whispered, "You are covered in blood. Looking at the marks and the invisible and intangible condition, it looks a bit like the immortal technique recorded in ancient books— the Immortal Binding Rope."
"Isn't that a treasure?" Wang Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Yongjie paused, as if remembering something, and said, "Treasures and the like are all derived and refined according to the rules. The original Immortal Binding Rope was a great divine power that was impossible to defend against. It involved some of the power of the rules and was Ying and formless."
The two old men, who were on good terms with the tycoons and had recently read many classic texts, made this guess after a conversation.
However, in the present world, it should be impossible to use the power of Supernatural Rule. How did the other party manage to do it?
"Never mind, I'll break free first!" Wang Xuan activated the stone tablet scripture again, melting the black chains, and this time he successfully broke a small blood-red sword.
"Could it be that there are still people in the world who can manipulate the rules?" Zhou Shiqian was moved in the distance; she had also guessed that it was the work of immortals.
"If that was a supernatural power containing a few rules, how could he... withstand it?!" Great Immortal Huang was incredulous and extremely shocked.
On the other side, Cao Qingyu whispered to the person beside him, "Perhaps some factions couldn't hold back any longer and were eager to cross boundaries, so they resorted to forbidden methods to forcibly abduct Wang Xuan. They even managed to create rules; it's truly terrifying and astonishing. How did they do it?"
For a moment, no one approached; otherwise, judging from his posture, Wang Xuan was prepared to fight to the death!
Everyone knows that he likely possesses Great Killer Weapon, so it's best not to provoke or anger him at this stage.
Soon, Wang Xuan activated the Shakya True Scripture, using a different secret method, and continued to burn the iron chains and those small, bright red swords.
People were truly astonished. The parts of his body that had been tightly bound began to recover one after another, which meant that he had broken free of the chains that contained some of the rules.
Soon after, Wang Xuan began to study the scriptures on the Pre-Qin Golden Bamboo Slips. This alternating use and constant variation of the mental techniques proved very effective.
Inside and outside his body, countless characters appeared, materializing realistically, shining brightly, impacting the iron chains and the small red sword.
Clang!
In the end, even the sound of a sword breaking could be heard, and outsiders could vaguely hear it. This meant that the formless and intangible rules were being destroyed.
Kun City, someone sighed and said, "I never imagined that to deal with a mortal, one would have to sacrifice one's immortal life. This is the tragedy of those who Ascension to Immortality. In this era, we have lost the glory of the past."
Two Blood Shadow built two altars with black, strange stones, engraved with various intricate patterns. One altar flowed with Dark Light, while the other steamed with blood-red light, making them very eerie.
"The Mythological World has collapsed and disappeared. There is no way to use the methods of immortals. The only option is to sacrifice immortal life to extract the remaining Supernatural Rule from it. This is a poor strategy, like drinking poison to quench thirst," a Blood Shadow said.
Another person said, "Forget it, since it's not our true bone anyway. It's better to take it from others than to lose our own. Let's just use their power."
The so-called immortal life refers to the most abundant vitality in the true bones left behind by the Transcendent Immortals. That active substance is the foundation for the remodeling and regeneration of their flesh and blood.
Currently, there are virtually no Supernatural Rule left, only a few remain in the true bones of immortals. Now, in order to directly detain Wang Xuan, the two have resorted to such methods.
"The God Slaying Banner has probably fallen into his hands. Without using the last remaining immortal rules, we are all in our Primordial Spirit State and cannot get close to him."
The two were helpless. The once- Transcendent Immortals had fallen to such a state in this special era of extinction, unable to do anything to a mortal from the Real World.
Those who have not become immortals are all mortals in their eyes.
"The God Slaying Banner is something lost since ancient times. It should be considered the most powerful treasure. If it and the Body Slaying Banner appeared at the same time, they would be no weaker than those other supreme treasures."
"It is said that there is a story between the Body Slaying Banner and the God Slaying Banner, which can no longer be explained now."
The two Blood Shadow hurriedly activated the altar, determined to obtain some Wang Xuan before their immortal life force was exhausted, otherwise it would be too wasteful.
Two pieces of immortal bone were squandered just like that.
"Could he possibly withstand it? Why hasn't it been restrained yet? Even though it's just a small amount of residual power of the rules, it shouldn't be something he can block."
"Unless... he possesses one of the legendary Supreme Scriptures!"
Wang Xuan's body trembled. This time he was indeed injured. The Immortal Binding Rope, which carried some rules, cut into his flesh, causing his skin to tear open.
There were several bloody holes in his body. Except for his head, which was blocked by the sword, the other holes were pierced an inch deep by the blood-red dagger.
The cracking sound was incessant as he broke almost the entire black iron chain, except for the section he deliberately left behind; the rest disappeared.
As for the crimson sword, it was all shattered.
In an instant, Wang Xuan took out a small, dark Golden Small Boat, took Chen Yongjie with him, and rushed off in one direction.
The remaining black iron chain still had a pulling force on him, trying to take him away. This time, he let go, stopped struggling, and urged the Flying Boat to approach at top speed.
"Found it! It really is the work of the Transcendent Immortals!" Outside Kun City, Wang Xuan discovered two Blood Shadow and two altars, and immediately knew what was going on.
"Kill!"
In an instant, countless sword energies surged forth, and the flying sword that came with the Golden Small Boat shot out, rapidly enlarging as it slashed downwards.
At the same time, the Alms Bowl in Old Chen's hand emitted countless rays of light, as if to collect the two people into the Alms Bowl.
"How is this possible? Even the remaining rules within the Immortal True Bone couldn't do anything to him?!" The two people on the ground were stunned. How could they have failed at this?
"He possesses... the Supreme Scriptures, and he has comprehended and mastered them!" The two were shocked. Simply possessing them was not enough; one had to comprehend them as well.
How could a mere mortal possibly practice something like this?!
However, they had no time to think, and the two turned and flew away, not wanting to fight to the death with the two in the air.
"Can you leave?" Chen Yongjie asked, flicking his wrist. The robe he was wearing transformed into a red cloud that blanketed the sky and fell down.
Crimson clouds covered the sky, blocking their path. A giant flying sword slashed, the Alms Bowl glowed, and various rare treasures and auspicious rays bombarded the two Blood Shadow.
Wang Xuan didn't want to waste time, and he didn't want others to come and see their battle. He waved the God Slaying Banner, and with two whooshing sounds, stripped them of their true bones.
Bang!
At the same time, as the flag fluttered, it shattered most of the two people's primordial spirits.
Chen Yongjie stared in disbelief, then quickly activated his cassock to cover the remaining primordial spirit, grabbed it back, and threw it directly into the Alms Bowl.
"Tell me, which camp do you belong to?"
Inside the Alms Bowl, the two fragmented primordial spirits exuded a sense of desolation. This was truly the tragedy of the Transcendent Immortals; how glorious and powerful they once were, yet now they were suppressed by mortals.
They stared at the God Slaying Banner that Wang Xuan had put away, momentarily lost in thought, and could only shake their heads. The extraordinary had been exhausted, so how could such a thing reappear in the world?
"The Transcendent Immortals are destined to perish completely, and no one can escape it. This is a despairing and tragic era!" The two laughed bitterly, and then collapsed on their own.
"They're all dead, we couldn't get anything out of them," Chen Yongjie said regretfully.
"Let's go open the Inner Scenery Realm. Our strength is still insufficient. I almost died at their hands today," Wang Xuan said.
He sensed that a threat was approaching.
The world is getting more and more chaotic. Old Zhong wants to escape, Transcendent Immortals want to flock across realms. A real ruthless person is about to appear, and the mortal world is becoming more and more dangerous.
Chen Yongjie nodded and said, "Something is definitely not right. I need to find the Lotus Seed as soon as possible, get the Heavenly Medicine Seed of Shakyamuni, and then we should run away as soon as possible. The New Star is getting more and more dangerous."
Zhou Shiqian, Cao Qingyu, Kong Yun, and others arrived one after another, only to find that the battle had already ended. They were stunned for a moment, wondering if the two were really that ruthless. They had crushed their opponents in the blink of an eye.
"That's enough, there's nothing to see here." Old Chen waved his hand.
Wang Xuan piloted the Flying Boat and instantly returned to the Zhong family in Kun City.
"Is it resolved?" Professor Lin and Qin Cheng approached, both showing concern.
"It's alright now," Wang Xuan nodded.
The Zhong siblings were quite shocked. The divine means and the curse from the shadows had been so quickly cleared away by Wang Xuan.
Zhong Qing lowered her voice and said to Wang Xuan, "My great-grandfather wants to see you."
"Old Zhong ... he really did come back to life a long time ago, but he's hiding and refusing to come out. I guess he's going to run away and tell us how to take the blame, right?" Chen Yongjie said, his face slightly dark. This wasn't the first time he had taken the blame for Zhong Yong.
While in the Earth Immortal City, he and Wang Xuan fought fiercely outside the city, risking their lives and fleeing for their lives. Meanwhile, Old Zhong was drinking monkey wine in the city, befriending some demons and enjoying himself immensely.
Zhong Qing led the way, taking them to the most important place in the Zhong family home— Old Zhong's study.
Wang Xuan was quite emotional. He had been thinking about this place for a long time, even back in his Old Earth, and now he had finally come.
"My wish has come true. I've worked hard for this for a long time," Wang Xuan sighed.
Zhong Qing glanced at him. This guy... really couldn't forget about it; he'd been thinking about this place the whole time!
