Flying Wing to Wing
The Demon Lord strode forward through the dark Cosmic Void, approaching the ancient spaceship.
She wore a long red dress, her figure slender and graceful. In the harsh environment of outer space, the sight of such a stunning woman walking would surely leave ordinary people speechless.
Wang Xuan followed, also approaching the spaceship. He began to fully arm himself, wearing a Silver Animal Hide roll, with a golden animal skin with two holes wrapped around his head, holding the God Slaying Banner in his right hand and Iron Stake in his left.
"You want to come in with me?" Demon Lord Yanyan glanced at her quickly. She was very cold and beautiful today, but the moment she turned around, she was still incredibly charming.
"Yes, I might be able to lend a hand." Wang Xuan originally intended to guard the cabin door, but since the Demon Lord had asked, he might as well follow along.
Besides, he was genuinely worried. Three peerless masters were trapped inside without even a ripple; the ancient ship was truly terrifying. He decided that if anything unexpected happened, he would smash the Nurturing Life Furnace out to rescue them, even if it meant exposing it.
"Come here and walk with me, so nothing bad will happen." The Demon Lord stopped and told Wang Xuan to follow her and walk side by side.
A faint crimson glow emanated from her body, covering her and Wang Xuan, forming a protective halo that illuminated the Cosmic Void.
This girl, this Great Demoness, is she in her true form of flesh and blood? Wang Xuan was shocked!
Normally, he dared not use his Spiritual Heavenly Eye to focus on the Demon Lord Yanyan, for fear of being beaten by her, because her senses were too sharp.
Now that they are in close proximity and walking side by side, their bodies almost touching, he can feel that it is the real body, not an energy incarnation, nor a manifestation of the Primordial Spirit Body.
He was quite surprised that the Demon Lord had also left behind a physical body.
However, when he thought of the fact that even in Old Zhong's secret vault during the New Star era, there was an incorruptible corpse lying inside a coffin made of a divine tree, he felt relieved.
In this world, there are always some people who possess extraordinary abilities to keep their bodies immortal for two or three thousand years.
"Sizzle!"
As the two approached the massive spaceship, a strange "electromagnetic sound" arose, somewhat like the harsh hissing sound of a television losing signal.
It was very brief, only one or two sounds, and then Wang Xuan felt his scalp tingle and a chill run down his spine, as if something was approaching.
He suddenly opened his Spiritual Heavenly Eye and surprisingly, he could not miss anything. He only saw inexplicable, cold traces left in the void, which were residual fluctuations of negative energy.
"You've got some nerve. You're trying to cause trouble before I've even gone in?" Yanyan sneered. With a wave of her hand, a crimson Shine Upon, dazzling and blinding, causing the void to rumble terrifyingly!
The massive metal spaceship also vibrated, and faint sounds could be heard, as if they did not belong to this dimension, giving people a sense of dread.
Finally, all was silent, but the blood on the spaceship was faintly glowing, a deep red, with Super Material vapor rising and a putrid smell permeating the air.
Ignoring her, Demon Lord Yanyan stepped forward and entered the passageway leading to the cabin. It was cold, empty, and unremarkable, with some cosmic dust that had been floating there for who knows how many years.
"I want to see if this is a declaration of war or a plea for help, and what message it has brought back." The Demon Lord said, turning to look at Wang Xuan, and said, "Give me the God Slaying Banner, and you can use that fire poker to assist me."
Wang Xuan looked down at the thick Iron Stake. Such a powerful ancient artifact, capable of entering the Land of Nothingness and drilling through meteorites, had been reduced to a fire poker.
He silently handed the God Slaying Banner to the Demon Lord, feeling that keeping it for her would increase its power. This time, it would likely be very dangerous, so he would try his best to enhance his own strength.
Demon Lord Yanyan cautioned, "Although your strength is not bad, it is still a tiny bit lacking. If a strange creature attacks you, you will most likely be blown to bits. Stay close to me and don't leave my two-foot range."
"I'm not that weak!" Wang Xuan said. After all, he had killed a peerless master before, how could he be so weak and frail?
"Then be careful!" Demon Lord Yanyan said, God Slaying Banner forward. With a hiss, a black mark appeared on the metal bulkhead, burned, evaporated, and turned into ashes.
"What is that?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise.
"Some disasters are not necessarily biological, or rather, some biological things are not in the form you imagine. They may just be a pattern, Dao Blood mark, or a wall."
The next moment, Wang Xuan's hair stood on end. Without turning his head, he thrust the fire poker backward. With a hiss, sparks flew behind him as super-grade energy exploded. A pale, ashen face disintegrated and quickly disappeared.
It was like something out of a painting, flat rather than three-dimensional; the snow-white, distorted human face, pierced by Iron Stake, simply disintegrated.
Wang Xuan became wary; this place was different from the dangerous places he had experienced before.
The passage was very long, mainly because the ancient spaceship was too huge. As the two walked forward, the place seemed very empty and lifeless, with only their footsteps making a slight tremor.
Crimson bloodstains appeared on the ground ahead, and a malevolent aura, capable of tearing apart human flesh, rose from the blood and surged toward this side.
This was still the result of the collapse of the Supernatural World; the essence in the blood was lost. Otherwise, it would have been much more serious.
"Not to be underestimated." Yanyan nodded, looking at the blood on the ground, and said, "Through the blood, I saw a Quasi-Peerless who fell down a long time ago, but the enemy did not reveal himself."
This is rather frightening. Even Quasi-Peerless has been killed on the spaceship, which is truly unsettling.
With a gentle wave of her flag, the malevolent aura dissipated, and the two strode across the area, approaching the end of the passageway, about to enter a relatively spacious cabin area.
"Hmm? This is really troublesome." Yanyan sensed something, a strand of her black hair lifted slightly, she stopped and said, "Take my arm."
"This... is that really necessary?" Wang Xuan said.
"I'm using your God Slaying Banner. If I don't protect you and you perish here, it would be unacceptable," the Demon Lord said, glancing at him.
Seeing that he didn't move, she glanced at Wang Xuan and said, "Hurry up, don't dawdle, or I'll just send you out. Besides, haven't you always wanted to see me perform the fairy dance? Now that it's almost here, are you scared?"
The demon lord gave a half-smile, and then quipped to him at the end.
Without saying a word, Wang Xuan slipped one arm through hers and firmly hooked his arm around hers, instantly feeling its softness, fragrance, and warmth like jade.
This girl, this demon, is indeed made of flesh and blood. That's right, Wang Xuan is certain, this is her true form left behind in the human world!
Like Fang Yuzhu, she left behind a complete immortal body.
As if knowing what he was thinking, Demon Lord Yanyan glanced at him indifferently and said, "Is it strange to have a true form? Fang Yuzhu and I have the same method of preservation. Back then, the Ascension Divine Bamboo was split in two and turned into two bamboo boats."
Wang Xuan was surprised. These two sisters had various causal connections when they were alive. He couldn't help but have all sorts of thoughts. Could these two really be biological sisters?
His thoughts wandered. Had someone also made predictions for Fang Yuzhu, and for the Demon Lord? Were the people who made the predictions Yanyan's parents, a pair of terrifyingly powerful figures who had disappeared long ago after entering the Immortal Realm?
"What nonsense are you thinking? Calm down, don't pollute my mind!" Demon Lord Yanyan glared at him and then pinched his waist hard, causing excruciating pain.
"I wasn't thinking anything!"
"Our arms are linked, it's too easy for us to use telepathy, who are you trying to fool?" Demon Lord Yanyan said unhurriedly.
Wang Xuan immediately shut up and stopped thinking about anything. In the end, he simply practiced the Supreme Scriptures used by Mental Illness to avoid her discovering his various secrets.
The two entered a wide-open space, and what they saw was shocking: the ground was covered with corpses, so many that there was no place to put their feet.
Most importantly, there are no weaklings here, only Transcendent Immortals.
No wonder the Demon Lord made him hold her arm and stay by her side. This place is too eerie. How many true immortals have died here? When did this tragedy happen? This is a terrifying ancient ship, filled with corpses of immortals!
There are men and women here, not all of them are human. Many of them, even after becoming immortals, still retain their racial characteristics. They are all humanoid, which is quite tragic. Even immortals have fallen to this state.
"So many True Immortals, yet I don't recognize a single one." The Demon Lord's expression turned solemn.
"Most importantly, they all had flesh and blood. Did they not enter the immortal realm after becoming immortals? But they did not Five Decays of Heaven and Man Disease. Or did they reach the threshold of Ascension to Immortality and were slaughtered just before entering the grand stage?"
This was the first time Demon Lord Yanyan had been so serious. She thought it was too abnormal; how could there be so many Transcendent Immortals with flesh and blood in the mortal world?!
"Did they return from deep space? It makes one wonder," she murmured.
Wang Xuan was also alarmed, mainly because there were too many flesh-and-blood Transcendent Immortals. The origins of these people were questionable. Did they belong to this universe? Did they return after finding something, or were they originally outsiders?
Of course, what is most disturbing is that all of them died under abnormal circumstances. Who was behind this?
"Untraceable, this place is not simple, we can't see the most crucial old scenery." The Demon Lord said.
Just then, strange sounds came from nearby. It was the sound of teeth grinding and the cracking sound of bones dislocating. The corpses of the Transcendent Immortals around them actually moved and stood up.
They were mechanical, stiff, and lacked any sense of agility, like zombies, with blood dripping from their mouths, disheveled hair, and swords stuck in their bodies. Some of them stood up with their heads tilted, their necks broken. Although some of the female immortals were beautiful in life, they now appeared extremely ferocious and terrifying.
Their eyes opened, but their pupils had long since lost their life color; they were a deathly gray, as if they had been dead for a long time.
A chilling scream, enough to terrify and send shivers down one's spine, rang out from among them. Then, all the immortal corpses let out shrill cries, grinding their teeth and dislocating their joints. Some of the stiffened immortal corpses charged forward, but they were not slow; they charged straight ahead, leaving afterimages in their wake!
The Demon Lord, carrying Wang Xuan, soared into the sky and arrived above the empty cabin. Looking down at the corpses of the immortals, he said, "Even if you were all alive, let alone dead, I could wipe you all out with a single hand!"
She and Wang Xuan linked arms and flew through the air, heading forward. Groups of immortal corpses surged up, their malevolent aura rolling like a mountain and sea bursting its banks.
However, as soon as the demon lord unfurled the banner, with a series of thuds, blurry and eerie afterimages exploded inside their heads, and their bodies fell to the ground with a rustling sound, unable to stop the two at all.
"Considering your tragic end, I am unwilling to destroy your physical bodies. If you have any awareness, leave quickly, or you will be annihilated, body and soul!"
Demon Lord Yanyan held a large flag in one hand, swaying it in front of her. Her long red dress fluttered as she traversed the air, displaying both the supreme demeanor of the demon race's ruler and the captivating charm of Peerless Demon Immortal.
A large number of immortal corpses surged up from below, but with a gentle shake of the flag by the Demon Lord, they either disintegrated or fell to the ground, clearing the area in front of them. She and Wang Xuan, arm in arm, flew past side by side.
