Who Is Slaying Dragons?
Near the wormhole, only scraps of steel remained. Wang Xuan stood quietly, having just killed the dragon's avatar in the mortal world. He reflected on this battle.
"The Ascension Banner is truly malevolent; it seems that no one who gets it will have a good end. Even though this time it's just a mark, it still shows its effects."
He was badly injured, with a gaping hole in his chest, and his Spine Bone was fractured. An ordinary person would have been paralyzed long ago; he was almost cut in half at the waist.
There was a large piece of his forehead bone broken off between his eyebrows, a truly horrific sight. If it had gone any deeper, his brain would have turned into a complete mess.
He intentionally approached Qi Tian and fought him to the death, all in order to analyze him.
This time, he gained a lot, and his understanding of the evil dragon became more profound. He learned about some of its methods and personality traits, so he could make targeted arrangements in the future.
In the distance, two figures tried to escape; they were Qi Tian's two followers. Entering the cold depths of the universe in this way would naturally make it difficult to survive in this era.
"I'm sorry, but we are enemies, especially since you saw the Nurturing Life Furnace. I have no choice but to send you on your way." Wang Xuan showed no pity. Although they looked terrified, he didn't want to let them fend for themselves. Since they were on opposing sides, he had to silence them.
The Nurturing Life Furnace glowed, and a shower of light shot out, illuminating the two women's pale faces. They were instantly annihilated, their primordial spirits exploding without a trace.
He absolutely cannot reveal the fact that he There Are Supreme Treasures in the short term. Otherwise, the gods within the Great Barrier and the Transcendent Immortals of the celestial realm will swarm in like sharks smelling blood. With so many Super Peerless sharpening their blades, he will be unable to withstand them.
The appearance of any supreme treasure will attract Super Peerless forces, especially him, a rising star in the Real World with no powerful background and only a few years of cultivation, making him the easiest target for hunting.
Wang Xuan cleaned up the mess. With the There Are Supreme Treasures in hand, it was easy to deal with. The furnace mouth glowed and swallowed up the sky and earth, collecting all the spaceship debris and various fragments.
A golden longsword and a silver immortal sword floated silently in the distance. He grabbed them and they survived when the Inner Scenery Realm of the evil dragon was destroyed.
"A top-tier treasure!" He examined it closely, reluctant to put it down; he lacked such a suitable weapon.
Until the very end, he was certain that no trace had been left behind, and anyone who wanted to trace something using some residue would likely be disappointed.
Half a day later, the Silver Spaceship appeared, Qing Mu, Zhao Qinghan, and others piloted the spaceship back to pick him up.
"Thank goodness you're safe and sound. Did you slay a dragon?" Qing Mu was quite shocked. He had watched Wang Xuan up step by step, and it was he who took the initiative to discover this newcomer.
When Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin saw the bloody hole in his chest, they quickly came over with a medical kit to help treat his wound.
"It's alright, no need to bandage me. I'll rest for a while, and the effect will be better after I circulate the scriptures." He said these were not problems.
"It's like a fairy tale, a Super Peerless being killed in the real world..." Old Master Liu Huaian said, feeling that he no longer understood this world.
Thirty years after he left, such a strange young man appeared in the mortal world, leaving him dumbfounded and finding it all absurd.
"You'll get used to it," Chen Yongjie said. He had also gone through the same process, from being the Number One Person in the Old Earth to becoming the perennial runner-up.
At first, he thought he could make rapid progress by following Wang Xuan, but now, he is chasing after him with all his might and can hardly see the monster's back anymore.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing if Wang Xuan can still retain his extraordinary body and continue his journey when the myth is completely extinguished in this unique Inner Scenery Realm."
Liu Huaian said that he was indeed full of hope, after all, other people's Inner Scenery Realm were starting to dry up, but Wang Xuan's had not changed yet.
"Did the slain dragon also have special Inner Scenery Realm?" Zhao Qinghan asked.
Wang Xuan said, "He died once, and his Inner Scenery Realm is flawed. Moreover, this is only his clone. If his true self were to appear, that would be the most terrifying thing."
The Mechanical Xiao said, "No need to be so modest. When I left, I captured some footage in deep space and saw the battle between you and him, where you were evenly matched."
"Bear, let's fake it." Wang Xuan looked at it.
"Huh?" the Mechanical Xiao asked, puzzled.
"Edit a blurry video clip and say that the dragon's clone was killed by the Shadow couple. To confuse them, add another alternative clip, saying that he might also have been killed by Fang Yuzhu."
"You are deceiving the world and fabricating lies." It was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, to prevent the main body of the evil dragon from targeting me and leaving the Immortal Realm with the Ascension Banner, we should find him a truly Super Peerless opponent." Wang Xuan nodded and readily admitted, then added, "At the same time, send a message to the Demon Lord and Old Zhang's spaceship, telling them the true situation of their clones, so that if the evil dragon goes to fight Fairy Fang and the others, we can catch them off guard."
"What a glorious achievement, and it was just turned down like that. What a pity. If word got out, the whole universe, wherever there are cultivators, would probably be in an uproar." Horse Chao Fan said regretfully.
Wang Xuan didn't care and said, "It's just an empty title. I want to break free from this vortex. I really don't want to fight them endlessly. I just want to wait for the Supernatural Finale so that those people can give up."
"I'm afraid we can only keep it a Super Peerless for a while. This extraordinary person, especially with such keen senses, might soon uncover the truth. At that time, you might face a great calamity, or even besieged by the gods of the Great Barrier and the Transcendent Immortals of the Celestial Realm."
Chen Yongjie said that he had been with Wang Xuan all along and had already guessed that the furnace was probably the Supreme Treasure Nurturing Life Furnace, which might be exposed in the future.
"Let's go, I'll take you back first," Wang Xuan said. As for himself, he planned to wander in the starry sky afterwards and would not show his face for the time being.
Two days later, Qi Tian sensed something was wrong. His avatar had run into trouble and couldn't be contacted at the agreed time in front of a certain screen.
Those around him immediately noticed that his face was incredibly gloomy, and the Ascension Banner in his hand tore through the sky, shattering one of the three moons. He was in a terrible mood.
At their level, the fall of their avatar would have a significant impact, as it was a part of their primordial spirit that was originally meant to reunite with it.
Soon, news spread that the dragon's avatar had died in the mortal world, which caused a huge uproar.
In recent days, Qi Tian's resurrection and acquisition of the Ascension Banner have already shocked the gods and Transcendent Immortals, and have caused a huge sensation among the Supernatural Practitioner in the present world.
His past and his glory have been unearthed. How could someone who once looked down on an era and was killed by the combined forces of ancient emperors not become the focus of attention?
But it was under these circumstances that his human form died, which is sensitive. Who did it? Who could kill the second person in this Mythological Era to open up special Inner Scenery Realm?
"News has come in that the Shadow couple did it; they are suspected to be the Demon Lord's parents!"
"Holy crap, that peerless Daoist Master who controls thunder, and that Twelve-tailed White Fox? Two Super Peerless individuals joined forces and destroyed Qi Tian's clone. This is going to escalate!"
Such news stirred up a storm among the gods and caused a huge uproar among the Transcendent Immortals; one can imagine what it would be like when it reached the mortal world.
On various Supernatural Planet, countless cultivators are discussing it heatedly!
However, another piece of news has emerged that the person who killed Qi Tian's human clone may also be Fang Yuzhu.
"The Super Peerless Fang Yuzhu, the fairy who personally destroyed the ancient emperors' era, is actually her? Then there's nothing more to say, it's entirely possible."
"Fairy Fang is so powerful that she is awe-inspiring, an eternal goddess!" Even the gods of the Great Barrier have recently been defeated and are expressing such sentiments.
"Aside from that madman who wields the World-Crossing Sword, it's difficult to compare her to him, and it's hard to determine who is stronger. Apart from that, she is most likely already the number one immortal!"
The two rumors caused a huge uproar, and extraordinary people everywhere were spreading them and discussing them, which showed how great Qi Tian's reputation was.
Even though he has been dead for a long time, if he were to be resurrected and reappear, he would still shake the world.
"Do you think it's possible that someone else killed Qi Tian?" Some people have raised this view, since Qi Tian himself hasn't said who the "murderer" is.
"That's unlikely. Apart from the Demon Lord's parents and Fang Yuzhu, who else in the Immortal Realm can rival Qi Tian?"
"Although I am a superhuman, I am also combining technology with my own. I have seen those blurry videos and I think the timing of their appearance is too deliberate."
Wang Xuan ignored all of this. On the way, he focused on recovering from his injuries, traversing the wormhole, and sending the group on their journey home.
Three days later, he was inspired and led everyone into the Inner Scenery Realm once again.
"Something's not right. There's a wisp of decay in your Inner Scenery Realm too. Is the extraordinary really going to be wiped out? Is there no hope for the future?" Old Chen had a keen sense of perception and noticed the abnormality immediately.
"Wang Xuan, are you feeling unwell?" Zhao Qinghan asked, fearing that the Inner Scenery Realm might be a sign of Wang Xuan's physical condition.
Qing Mu, Wu Yin, and the Little Fox Immortal all looked over, worried about him.
He shook his head and told them everything was fine. He observed carefully and sensed intently. A newly formed Inner Scenery Realm was condensing, turning into tiny specks of light, which disappeared into his flesh and spirit.
"Waiting for rebirth amidst decay, perhaps all of this is in line with the grand environment of the world. Myths are extinguished, the extraordinary is heading towards the cold winter night, and my Inner Scenery Realm is also beginning to wither, which is also fitting for the times."
But he believed that even if this place decayed, he could still be reborn and give birth to an unknown Inner Scenery Realm, provided that no unforeseen events occurred.
In the end, Wang Xuan recovered. The bloody hole in his chest healed, and his broken spine regrowed. He was completely unharmed. Moreover, his cultivation had improved further, with enhancements in all aspects. He had a feeling that he was not far from transcending the tribulation.
Several days later, the evil dragon began to move. He led his followers to the Immortal Land, entering the Great Barrier of the gods from the celestial realm, holding the Ascension Banner.
The world was shaken!
Is he seeking revenge, or is he vying for the ultimate treasure?
"He went to the Immortal Land, is that confirmed?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise.
Soon, they received confirmation that the Ascension Banner had indeed displayed its power there.
Wang Xuan pressed on without stopping, accelerating the spaceship through wormhole after wormhole, traversing the universe, and taking this opportunity to prepare to land on the Old Earth.
"The evil dragon has left the Immortal Realm, so I can go there and bring the Sword Immortal out!"
He originally didn't plan to make any rash moves in the short term, as it wasn't advisable to risk going behind the Great Curtain, but now there's no problem, the evil dragon has gone far away.
The extraordinary is about to perish forever; it's time to bring out the Sword Immortal's true form.
Several days later, they did not stop when they passed by the New Star. They used a wormhole to continue their journey, and finally the spaceship landed silently on the Old Earth.
