The Desperate End of the Mythological Era
Several streaks of light flashed by; those were the techniques of those who had broken through limits. Originally, they were incredibly powerful and could instantly kill other extraordinary beings, but they were all shattered by Wang Xuan's Fist Light and dissipated in front of Zhao Qinghan, Wu Yin, and the others.
If they really make a move against them, the Limit Breaker— Ten Stages —is hunting down Wang Xuan and dragging Qing Mu and the others into it, trying to make Wang Xuan hesitate to act?
In their first clash, some of the Limit Breakers bled from the corner of their mouths, serving as a wake-up call. Is this the source of the confidence of a young powerhouse with Super Peerless foundation?
Everyone looked at Wang Xuan. A brief silence fell, and the tense atmosphere was suffocating.
Horse Chao Fan broke the silence. Not wanting to drag Wang Xuan down, he bluntly said to the Little Fox Immortal, "Come on, give me a slap!"
Snap!
The Little Fox Immortal was decisive and granted every request. In the quiet setting, she slapped its long, horse-like face with a crisp, loud slap.
"I surrender!" Horse Chao Fan shouted.
Those who had broken through limits showed no expression and ignored them.
In outer space, the spectators felt the tense atmosphere of an impending storm, but when they saw the golden pegasus's words and actions, they were first taken aback, then laughed when they realized it was trying to find an opening.
"Why didn't I leave?" Horse Chao Fan was anxious and confused. Had he been slapped for nothing? Soon it shouted again, "Old Qing, I want to fight you! Attack me now!"
Zhao Qinghan shook her head and said, "This means they believe we come from the same team and do not approve of any kind of internal 'fighting' that involves taking shortcuts."
Horse Chao Fan remained silent.
"Is it really necessary to go this far?" Wang Xuan looked at the people opposite him, all of whom were experts at the Ten Stages level, and they were actually ganging up on him. This scene was very unreal.
After all, those who break through limits are the ceiling of combat power for this generation and are hailed as the pinnacle figures. They are dazzling young powerhouses in an extraordinary domain.
The vast universe, the endless starry sky, the Immortal Land is so vast, there are a large number of Supernatural Planet, and there are only three Limit Breakers living in the present world.
The Land of Deities, Land of Immortal Dao, and Land of Technological Life are all similar.
Some of those who had broken through limits remained silent, unwilling to speak.
But finally someone spoke up, their voice tinged with weariness, saying, "I'm sorry, I have no grudge against you. We didn't know each other before, so there's no prejudice between us. It's all because we can't see the future, we're desperate, and we just want to live."
He was actually a Vermilion Bird with an astonishing lineage, a rare Divine Bird, belonging to the category of innate deities. Because he was destined to become a god in the future, he temporarily took on the form of a human.
Now, with his long, bright red hair and Pale Face, he lacked that spirited demeanor and appeared rather desolate.
"Is there any inside story?" Wang Xuan asked further.
The other person looked up and saw a young man with blond hair, more beautiful than many women, who was suspected to be a member of the long-lost Sun Elf Royal Family.
He also lacked the vigor he should have, saying, "Everyone knows that another Mythological Winter has arrived. The Eternal Night has no end, and none of us can see any hope. When the supernatural reappears next time, it will be irrelevant to us. We will have already become cosmic dust. But I am not willing to accept it!"
He frankly admitted that he had lost confidence. At this level, they were no longer capable of continuing their extraordinary achievements. Even the Supreme Deity within the Great Barrier had given up, leaving them powerless to reshape the myth.
"Now, the most important thing is to survive and endure until the next extraordinary reappearance." Another Limit Breaker spoke, without a specific form, belonging to a special kind of being, a ball of Dark Light.
Zhuque said with a pale face, "Among the beings of the Mythological Era, some survived, but only a limited number of them slept in a Stone House carved from Real Substance, enduring the long, barren nights."
This news sent shockwaves through Wang Xuan's mind. Someone had actually survived from the most distant ancient times, and in this very way.
"Although another giant rock made of Real Substance has been discovered, the number of people it can accommodate is still limited. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, in the present world, there will be no more than three to five Limit Breakers in our era," a metal figure said.
It belongs to a strange race, an innate being, a creature born from Supernatural Rule, but now it is exhausted, and after the myth decays, it will die directly.
Wang Xuan understood and said, "So, in order to compete for a few spots, you've decided to eliminate me first?"
Some remained silent, while others nodded in quiet agreement.
Someone couldn't help but speak up, saying, "Your team has six people. Normally, you're at the Eleventh Stage level, so you're probably unbeatable. But with you leading them, you've practically taken up all the spots for our generation."
In general, it wasn't just them; in the final years of the mythology, everyone lost faith, became weary and pragmatic, and didn't even fantasize about the emergence of a new mythology. Everyone was thinking about the future.
They felt that their level of understanding was too low and they were too young. They decided to weather this winter first and then, when the Mythological Resurgence, once they had truly grown up, they would tackle the Essence of the Supernatural.
As beings who have broken through limits, they naturally have extraordinary backgrounds, know the inside story, and know each other well, so they have long formed an alliance.
Before they arrived, they had each formed two teams.
Wang Xuan was speechless. Both teams were limit breakers, which was indeed unsolvable for competitors in this era, unless they encountered Eleventh Stage!
"Have you given up? Have you lost hope in the new mythology?" He looked at these limit breakers, who were originally high-spirited and extremely proud top young powerhouses, but now they were all taciturn and had lost their former ambition to challenge the heavens.
"Yes, we have bowed to reality. We are no longer qualified to talk about new myths, nor are we able to rewrite anything!" A woman from the Zerg spoke, her body covered in hard carapace.
"In fact, among the strongest beings within the Great Barrier, there are beings at the Eleventh Stage, some even Super Peerless, yet they too chose to compromise, having no other choice. Their desire for Old Covenant Carrier and the relic of the Old Testament was merely a means to survive the Eternal Night. No matter how powerful a god may be, they all bowed their heads before the final months of the transcendent era, for there was simply no hope!"
A monster covered in red scales, of unknown race, roared and clenched its claws, seemingly desperate and venting its resentment; it had lost its composure.
Can we blame them? At this stage, with only a few months left, it is indeed despairing. Even the supreme gods and Super Peerless beings in the Great Barrier are exhausted and disheartened. What can these young people who have broken through limits do?
Wang Xuan stood there without saying a word. He had been furious and wanted to kill them all, but now he had lost that thought.
For the first time, he felt a strong sense of identification with the superhumans. Before that, he always felt that he was a modern person and was out of place with them.
Although he was also on this path, he seemed to be detached from the many extraordinary individuals, walking alone.
Today, for the first time, he felt the weight of this great era coming to an end; it was an era that left all extraordinary beings in despair and sorrow.
"Forget it, you should leave. Having come this far, I feel like I'm living a life that's neither human nor ghost, a far cry from who we used to be."
A gray-haired young man spoke up, looking at Zhao Qinghan, Qing Mu, and the others. He simply raised his hand, signaling them to admit defeat and leave the battlefield.
It's clear he used to be very proud, his eyes and brows radiating arrogance, but now he seems somewhat disheartened, saying to himself, "I never imagined that I would become the villain I used to hate the most, and that one day I would have to use hostages to control my opponents when dealing with them."
The gray-haired young man comes from the Land of Deities, and the faction behind him is renowned. He is a disciple of the Supernatural Palace who has broken through the limits!
A young woman with a crystal between her eyebrows spoke up, saying, "Never mind, I also feel ashamed to have fallen to this point. I'll withdraw and go back to my experiments. My name is Yuan Lin, from the Eternal Laboratory of the Land of Technological Life. Until we meet again."
Zhuque, with his full head of red hair and pale face, raised his hand to Wu Yin, Qing Mu, and the others, saying, "You can leave now!"
No one expected things to develop this way. Originally, it was a group of heroes hunting dragons, besieging Wang Xuan who had Super Peerless foundation. In the end, however, they all lacked sharpness and were only exhausted. Certain insistences in their hearts made them all feel very uncomfortable.
"Alright, we admit defeat!" Qing Mu and the others spoke one after another, and were guided away, disappearing from the Extinguished Great Barrier amidst a rain of light.
"Thank you!" Wang Xuan said.
Although these people wanted to exclude him and compete for the spot to survive this extraordinary night, at the last moment, they all preserved their own bottom line.
Wang Xuan was injured, and the problem was indeed quite serious. Although he was confident that he could hold off these people and send Qing Mu and the others away, he was still moved by the outcome, and his feelings towards these people changed.
Outside, many spectators were surprised, but then fell silent. No one spoke much. In this era, they could understand the feelings of those on the battlefield.
Those who have broken through limits are forced to join forces to deal with one person. Perhaps they are all in agony, and all of this is just for survival.
"I'm sorry, but I really want to see the arrival of the next era of Supernatural Civilization revival!" A Limit Breaker walked over, her sides covered with densely packed energy arms. She came from the Thousand-Hand God Clan.
Another person who had broken through the limits spoke up, "Regardless of whether I can get a spot to survive, I have mixed feelings about encountering an Eleventh Stage expert here. I want to see what it's like!"
Wang Xuan said, "Sure, I'd also like to witness the splendor of different parts of the universe, appreciate the unique charm of different Supernatural Civilization, and exchange ideas with each other."
"Good!"
The Vermilion Bird was the first to rush forward. It transformed into its true form, becoming a dazzling red bird with towering flames, like a Comet Impact the earth, swooping down towards Wang Xuan.
He is among the top level of those who break limits, at least stronger than some of the Ten Stages beings recorded in many ancient books.
Wang Xuan did not take it lightly; he took it seriously. Some opponents, if he went easy on them, might be seen as an insult. He had already acknowledged the person who held firm to his principles in the end.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
Numerous beams of light rose up in front of and behind him, like sword energy soaring into the sky. A Dharma body condensed outside his body, enveloping his true form. He used the Second True Form Diagram from the stone tablet scripture.
At this moment, Wang Xuan was like an Immortals and Buddhas holding a flower, a seeker of the Tao traveling alone in the universe, a lonely traveler adrift in the sea of suffering, confronting the Vermilion Bird.
Bang!
The Vermilion Bird was stained with blood, its crimson Divine Feather withered, and its entire being, like a fallen flower, dimmed and fell into the distance.
A young man, suspected to be a member of the Sun Elf Royal Family, held a large golden bow, hovered in the sky, and drew his bow to release an arrow at Wang Xuan.
In an instant, it was as if the sun was exploding, turning into billions of streams of fire that crashed towards Wang Xuan, and the world was filled with dazzling beams of light.
Wang Xuan activated the spellbook from the Pre-Qin Bamboo Slips, performing the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Sacrifice. His body floated into the air, surrounded by runes that transformed into one Sacred Beast after another, like a galaxy. He stood in the center, with countless Auspicious Beast as stars surrounding him. Then, with a roar, he soared into the sky.
That was the impact of the Sacred Beast, and also a brief manifestation of the starry sky, howling as if it were a small world crashing into the heavens.
The young man from the Sun Elf Royal Family was struck by Yifang Xiaotianyu, causing all the arrows to break, the bowstring to snap, and his body to twist and deform, almost being crushed into a pulp.
Wang Xuan spoke up, "Can't you let go of your status? Since you're going to fight, there's nothing to hesitate about. Come on, you're fighting for a spot, for survival. There's no need to be hesitant."
"Good!"
In an instant, several people rushed in and began to join forces to deal with Wang Xuan.
At this time, Wang Xuan did have some hidden health problems, but he decided not to hold back. After a serious duel, he was still incredibly terrifying. For many people, the Eleventh Stage was unsolvable!
Without reaching this level, it's hard to imagine this height; the end of Mythological Theory is not just talk!
Thump!
Amidst the Fist Light, someone's armor shattered, and they flew through the air covered in blood, collapsing to the ground, their fate unknown and unable to move.
The magic blossomed like Immortal Bud, swaying and emitting Supernatural Light that filled the sky. Some people staggered backward, some had their bodies pierced, some bled, and some fell backward to the ground.
In outer space, an aged voice echoed from within the steel fortress, "Very strong, with the foundation of Eleventh Stage Super Peerless. In fact, I think he could become even stronger. How else can we increase the difficulty for him?"
"It's rare to find someone like this. Should we give it a try? Can we squeeze and force him to take a different path and create a new situation?"
"It's all too late, far too late. He's just starting out, still a young man, his level is too low!"
