A Chaotic Age of Mythology
"I'm so tired!" Wang Xuan gasped for breath, his face pale, his chest heaving, his body swaying precariously, looking utterly exhausted.
The surrounding area was completely silent. Another Supreme Deity had died. That was Yuan Lei, a renowned female deity, said to be the descendant of the Undying Bird and the Human Race's Supreme Expert.
Her current cultivation level is quite high. After the series of "Major Earthquake," some people dropped their cultivation level twice in a row, but she withstood it once and only fell once. She is still at the second level of the Free and Easy Carefree Journey, which is a step above Lei Tuo!
Even so, this extremely powerful god still died!
Everyone was speechless. Was that truly a failed attempt at transcending tribulation?
Was this some kind of special god-slaying tournament for him? Many people were dizzy; the disciples of the gods, the followers of the immortals, and the beings from the Great Barrier all trembled with fear.
Not to mention others, even the Great Daoist Master Xu Fu grinned, feeling strange. This kid really left him speechless. He looked sickly, yet he had killed two gods in a row!
Wang Xuan wasn't entirely faking it; he was indeed panting and somewhat exhausted. After all, this was a matter of killing a god, especially one where life and death were decided in a single move.
He is very strong, but he has not yet reached the point where he can kill Supreme Deity in one move. Just as he said earlier, he does not want to fight protractedly. All his methods are condensed into a single breath, and he will decide life and death with his trump card.
If Yuan Lei insists on testing him, engaging in a war of words, or a normal duel, it will definitely take some time to expend; it's impossible to achieve this effect immediately.
Of course, although he was panting heavily, it wasn't as serious as one might imagine; he wasn't so exhausted that he didn't want to move.
Wang Xuan exhaled and said, "As I said, I was severely injured in the Heavenly Tribulation and my body suffered problems, but the sword light I had nurtured for many years was successfully baptized by the Heavenly Tribulation, improved, and refined into the true meaning of the Dao of Slaying. So her death was not unjust."
Someone was staring at him, wanting to say, "Stop explaining! You've already killed three gods since the beginning; you're no good."
Wang Xuan's body swayed, as if he was about to collapse. Of course, he had to maintain a professional demeanor, so he covered his mouth, not wanting to actually spit out blood. This was the only way he could show them, making it look like he was coughing and then swallowing Blood Water.
At the same time, he waved his hand and imprisoned a powerful figure who was staring at him hatefully. This person was probably from the Great Barrier and was a disciple of a certain god, possessing the strength of the ninth level of the limit in the mortal world.
Without any hesitation, he slapped her down, restrained her, made her bend over and lie on the ground, and unceremoniously sat on his back as a stool.
"I'm so tired I don't want to move," he said, and then began to quietly regulate his breathing.
Seeing his actions, which were disliked by the creatures within the Great Barrier, those people stared in silence, no one making a sound, mainly because they were stunned by his battle just now.
Who wouldn't be wary? Even the gray-haired man who confronted Xu Fu, the deity of the Imperial Way Palace, felt uneasy and furious. Although he wanted to kill him immediately, he made no move for the time being.
After a long silence, the crowd finally couldn't hold back any longer and began to make noise, which then sparked a heated discussion, especially in outer space, where everyone was eager to join in.
"Is this real? It feels like a dream. Someone who failed the tribulation has killed two supreme gods?"
Many people on those spaceships were in an uproar, deeply surprised and bewildered, but reality is just that unexpected; that young man had slaughtered another god.
Among them, Qing Mu, Wu Yin and others were naturally the most excited and thrilled. They had just made the worst preparations and were worried about Wang Xuan, fearing that he would die at the hands of the alien gods.
"As expected of my Brother Wang, even though he was just struck by the heavens and has serious health problems, he still managed to kill immortals and gods on the battlefield, earning a great reputation!" Horse Chao Fan was very excited.
"Wang Xuan has come so far on the path of cultivation..." Even the usually rational Zhao Qinghan was lost in thought, realizing for the first time just how strong Wang Xuan's talent was in this field.
He's a modern person; how many years has he been cultivating? To reach this point, even in the most prosperous period of ancient times, there must have been a story behind it.
"Wang Xuan, if he had been born five hundred years earlier, he might have been able to create a new myth!" These were Qing Mu's inner thoughts; he was deeply moved this time.
"This guy, sometimes he calls himself the Ancestor Wang,' and he's not just saying it for show." Wu Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and thinking of his past behavior, a smile gradually appeared on her face.
Inside the decaying barrier, Wang Xuan sat there imposingly, panting and resting. He looked to be in terrible condition, but no one dared to make a move.
"I couldn't help it!" The gray-haired powerhouse from the Imperial Way Palace spoke up, looking at Wang Xuan. The deceased Yuan Lei and Lei Tuo were his allies, and they had a good relationship in the Great Barrier, otherwise they wouldn't have come here together.
Wang Xuan said, "I can't do it anymore, senior. This person is yours. Aren't there the Book of Years and a Semi-Mature Supreme Treasure in the six giant palaces? We can each take one. I'm seriously injured and can't kill anymore, so you can handle it!"
He felt that it was about time, and he wanted to use his sharpness on the evil dragon. He didn't know where this person was now, as he was always hiding in the dark, watching him like a hawk, and was a big problem.
He wanted to disappear for a while, but was stopped by Lei Tuo and Yuan Lei. He was not afraid and killed the two of them swiftly and decisively.
"Alright, leave it to me!" Xu Fu said, holding the golden fishing rod and moving towards the other side.
"Xu Fu, you don't need to get involved in this mess. You can stay out of it!" Someone else spoke up, and the immortal from the Human World Palace came over.
This was a woman with long silver hair. She was very cold, as if she came from an icy world. In fact, the place she walked through was indeed experiencing heavy snowfall.
"You two come at me together!" the Great Daoist Master Xu Fu said, blocking both the gray-haired man and the woman shrouded in ice and snow, intending to fight them both alone.
The gray-haired man said, "Fine, Xu Fu, since you've made this choice, don't blame us for breaking the Rules. Let's settle this with a fight to the death!"
"Kill!" The female immortal, covered in flying ice and snow, was domineering, her silver hair dancing in the air, and she immediately took action.
Xu Fu said, "So you had already formed an alliance and decided on the highest reward here. It's a pity that a young man from the mortal world disregarded the Rules and suddenly attacked, killing gods and disrupting your plans."
If Wang Xuan hadn't come, the group would probably have killed Xu Fu first, and then the others would have fought and divided the prizes. This made the Great Daoist Master's face darken.
So he erupted, going all out and directly engaging the two in battle.
Wang Xuan watched from the sidelines, thoroughly enjoying the moment. He had finally escaped the vortex and was now able to observe the battle of others, experiencing a rare moment of peace and relaxation.
Many people "realized" that he probably had a really serious problem and couldn't step in, otherwise they wouldn't have let Xu Fu fight two against one.
However, none of the people in the six giant palaces were eager to make a move. They were not the strongest, so there was no need for them to take risks. The lessons learned from the past were too tragic.
Only Chen Yongjie knew that the boxer who threw the fight hadn't been hurt at all; he was just pretending to be innocent, trying to distance himself from the situation and become an outsider.
So, Old Chen went over and pretended to inquire about his health, cooperating with the fake visitation. Then he became a free man and went directly to his master.
In fact, that person had noticed Chen Yongjie long ago. When Liu Huaian left his Old Earth, Old Chen looked just like that, a young man in his twenties, full of energy.
Thirty years later, the appearance of someone who looked exactly like his disciple Chen Yongjie on this battlefield naturally aroused his suspicions immediately.
"Are you... Master Liu?" The closer Chen Yongjie got, the more certain he became that this must be his younger version of his master, even the black mole on his neck was the same.
"Yongjie?!" Liu Huaian's eyes widened. He was certain that this was his disciple who had come here and followed in his footsteps.
"Master!" Chen Yongjie burst into tears on the spot. When he was in danger, it was his master who threw him out of the light barrier at the first moment. His master stood in front of him and disappeared from the world.
This became a knot in Old Chen's heart. He always felt that his master had sacrificed his life to give him a new life. Otherwise, he would have disappeared from the Old Earth like those Old Arts masters.
His master could have avoided this calamity and taken the blame for him.
For the past thirty years, Chen Yongjie has been plagued by guilt and unease, constantly yearning to find his master.
"Child, I never thought you would end up here like me." Liu Huaian's eyes also reddened. He helped him up, not letting him kneel.
"I wish for Master to appear every moment, but I have tried every possible method. It was only by chance that I was able to get here." Chen Yongjie shed tears and asked about the others. Back then, a large number of experts disappeared, leaving a gap in the lineage of people in the field of Old Arts.
"They're all dead, only I survived." Liu Huaian said wistfully, quite saddened, as if the events of the past thirty years had just happened yesterday.
They were all too weak at the time, and would have been cannon fodder on the battlefield. He had the deepest foundation among them and managed to rise up by taking advantage of this place rich in Super Material, which barely gave him a way to survive.
In outer space, Qing Mu stared at the large screen, focusing on his master. He could hardly believe it; Chen Yongjie was crying and kneeling before another person.
"That's... my Grandpa Master?!" He was shocked. The man, who was slightly younger than his master, looked similar to the white-haired, white-bearded old man hanging in his master's room.
"They really found him? My Grandpa Master is still alive and has actually come to this battlefield!"
The battle was fierce. Xu Fu fought against the two great gods alone, but he became more and more courageous with each battle, showing no fear. He took the initiative to attack and was very powerful. His fishing rod sliced through the void, which was more terrifying than the Dao sword. The sky exploded and thunder roared.
Of course, their fight wasn't a life-or-death battle from the start; there was no need to take such a risk. They were all trying their best to ensure they didn't make any mistakes.
"Hmm?" Wang Xuan noticed something amiss. With his Spiritual Heavenly Eye and the twelve levels of foundation combined, he sensed an unseen malice; someone was targeting this place.
He remained calm and quickly noticed that an immortal was slowly drawing back a large bow, aiming it at him first, then hesitating slightly before adjusting the direction and aiming at the Great Daoist Master Xu Fu.
Clearly, that person was using a secret technique and possessed a rare treasure to conceal their Killing Intent, attempting to deceive the supreme expert's extraordinary senses and prepare to secretly kill him or Xu Fu.
"Is there a seventh supreme expert outside the six giant palaces?" Wang Xuan immediately sent a secret telepathic message to Xu Fu, informing him that someone was hunting him down.
"It's alright, I'll kill that old man. Doesn't he know who I am? I'm proficient in the unique skills of both the Daoist Master and Daoist school. He thinks he can make me die in a muddle? Dream on!" Xu Fu's killing intent intensified.
"Senior, come closer to me. I'll help you if necessary!"
"You failed your tribulation and have health problems. Are you alright?" Xu Fu asked in surprise. Then, a strange feeling arose in his heart, and he realized that, damn it, he might have taken the blame for this kid again and stepped in front of him in advance.
Xu Fu fell silent, and the fierce battle raged as they rapidly changed positions.
A blinding beam of light instantly illuminated the Heaven and Earth. Wang Xuan unleashed his strongest attack, channeling all his cultivation to unleash a sword light containing the Myriad Immortals Tribulation Song and the Divine Light of Ascension, striking the gray-haired man who had moved not far away.
The gray-haired deity was extremely powerful. In the critical moment, he sensed something and dodged to the side. However, although his divine sense was strong, his physical movement was still a fraction too slow.
With a soft "poof," half of the gray-haired deity of the Imperial Way Palace was cleaved into pieces, leaving only a small part of his body, covered in blood, where he let out a furious roar.
Almost simultaneously, a dazzling arrow of light flew from afar, aiming straight for the back of Xu Fu's head, intending to kill his physical body and primordial spirit at the same time.
The Great Daoist Master didn't move his body much and successfully dodged the arrow. The violent energy from the arrow shook his hair, enraging him. His killing intent surged, and he quickly engaged the Silver-haired Woman covered in ice and snow in a deadly battle, intending to kill her first before dealing with the one who fired the arrow.
All of this changed too quickly, beyond people's perception. Only by replaying the footage captured by the spaceship could people truly realize what had happened.
Puff!
Wang Xuan didn't hold back. He immediately followed up with a fatal blow, wielding Lei Tuo's golden divine blade and slashing it out, blasting the other half of the gray-haired man's body apart and destroying his primordial spirit as well!
"I... I've slaughtered another god?!" The battlefield erupted in chaos. The creatures from the Great Barrier were trembling with fear. This sickly, failed tribulation cultivator possessed boundless killing intent and specialized in killing gods!
In outer space, on those spaceships, people from all factions were dumbfounded. This was not a Limit Breaker, but a God Killer, who had been hunting down gods and immortals time and time again!
"I can't go on anymore, organizers. My performance is pretty good. Are you going to give me the prize and let me leave the stage so I can go and recover from my injury?" Wang Xuan felt that it was really time for him to leave as a spectator and stay out of the game.
Puff!
Not far away, the Great Daoist Master Xu Fu, in a frenzied state, killed the Silver-haired Woman standing in the snow and destroyed her primordial spirit.
Without pausing, he transformed into a beam of light, wielding a golden fishing rod, and traversed the sky to pursue the supreme deity who had shot him with a bow.
Wang Xuan repeatedly asked the organizers to send him back to recover from his injuries, but no one responded, seemingly acknowledging that the battle was not yet completely over.
Next, he was indeed quite relaxed, sitting on a human bench, first watching the Great Daoist Master Xu Fu hunt down gods, and then gazing at the dazzling Great Barrier.
The place was brightly lit, all because the old treasures were roaring and the new treasures were hatching, illuminating everything there and making everything very clear.
"It's done! A new Arcana has been created!"
The bracelet became increasingly dazzling, and the countless rays of light began to recede. The main body of the bracelet, made of black jade, resembled the deep space of the universe, while the crystalline white spots looked like countless stars.
"The Sky-Veiling Mirror is shattered, so I will name it the Sky-Veiling Bracelet!" The Super Peerless Fang Yuzhu. During the process of refining the treasure, she and Old Zhang and others had endured many attacks, and even the corners of her mouth were stained with crimson blood. But now the new treasure is about to undergo its final sublimation, and everything will change.
In addition, Wang Xuan also saw two shadows. Were they related to his parents? They were holding the Old Covenant Carrier of the Mythological Era and fighting against the Divine Palace. In the distance, there seemed to be Immortal Umbrella.
"The beginning of chaos, the end of mythology, is everything coming to an end, or is it the beginning of a new era?" Wang Xuan, an "outsider," stared at the magnificent Great Barrier with an extremely serious expression, everything changing in an instant.
