Supreme God, Supreme Sage, Supreme Fierce

The path of immortality has decayed, and the extraordinary has perished. Yet, in this era, there still exists such a powerful being, truly surpassing even the Earth Immortals. His brilliant primordial spirit illuminates the void, and his blood energy surges like a tsunami!

Wang Xuan's heart sank completely. He knew that his situation was precarious today, and from the perspective of absolute strength, he was no match for him.

After his Spiritual Heavenly Eye opened, it never left this person, staring intently, trying to see through his essence, but the radiant light of his primordial spirit, as bright as the sun, could block his gaze.

This is unprecedented; the radiance emanating from the primordial spirit alone has achieved this!

His Spiritual Heavenly Eye was blocked, but he did not come away empty-handed. He vaguely sensed the characteristics of someone of the same kind, and this person gave him a sense of familiarity.

Jiang Qingyao's face was tense and very serious. Holding the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword in both hands, she stood side by side with Wang Xuan, facing an unprecedented enemy together. The shimmering purple light illuminated the two of them.

"Is this all the special foundation that the evil spirit within Qi Tian craved? I'm disappointed. Should I give up, or should I analyze and study it carefully?" the man muttered to himself.

He was tall, but not bulky; slender, upright, and imposing. He looked to be around thirty years old, handsome yet aloof, with lightning flashing in his eyes.

After the Ascension Banner fell into his hand, it spontaneously scattered celestial radiance and mist, naturally becoming one with him and turning the place where he stood into celestial soil.

Wang Xuan said, "I have no grudge against you. We are both people who have fallen from grace and are now ascetics with no way out. There is no need for bloodshed and fighting. If you are interested in special Inner Scenery Realm, we can sit down and talk. I will tell you everything I know."

"I always get what I want myself, why would I need to talk to anyone?" The man looked at him domineeringly, his face indifferent, and said, "Although I can sense a trace of decay in your flesh, spirit, and Inner Scenery Realm, which is in line with this great era, I still feel that there are some secrets within you, and my intuition tells me that I can dig deeper."

He stared at Wang Xuan, trusting his intuition, and said, "We could try the methods of the evil spirit inside Qi Tian."

When Wang Xuan heard him refer to the ghost as an evil spirit, he felt that he probably wasn't Fallen Dreadful Spirits.

"Could you be..." He stared at the man, increasingly feeling that they had some similarities. Did the other person also have a special Inner Scenery Realm?

If this is the case, the man's identity is truly astonishing, causing Major Earthquake to Wang Xuan!

In this Mythological Era, before Wang Xuan, there were only three people with verifiable records of opening special Inner Scenery Realm during the Mortal Period.

Wang Xuan was in turmoil, unable to calm down. The man's identity was becoming increasingly clear, which he found unbelievable. How could that person, who the Vanished for thousands of years, reappear?!

"The Number One Person of Immortal Dao?" Jiang Qingyao's beautiful eyes widened in shock. Today, she first saw the flesh and blood body of the immortal true lord Qi Tian being possessed, and now she saw another person with an even more terrifying identity and background.

Both of them found it hard to believe. This was not a ghost. Its blood energy was as powerful as the sea, and the light of its primordial spirit seemed capable of shooting down stars and the moon. It gave people a feeling of Supreme God and Saint. It was actually the Number One Person of Immortal Dao in the past?!

He didn't die; he's lived from ancient times to the present day, lurking in the shadows. This is terrifying, even chilling.

However, Wang Xuan also had doubts. Why did the Number One Person see his fellow Qi Tian, being devoured and possessed by the demonic spirit and still remain indifferent, without feeling any sense of loss for his own kind?

This person showed no sadness whatsoever, and in fact, he wanted to emulate the demon spirit, attempting to study and analyze Wang Xuan's unique background, and was about to take action against him.

The man walked in Holding Banner. With one step, the sun and moon lost their color, the starry sky trembled, and many large black cracks spread out under his feet. He and the supreme treasure were inseparable, making even the Super Peerless tremble!

It was truly chilling that Wang Xuan and the Sword Immortal were both thrown back by the impact!

Wang Xuan sighed. He was in very poor condition. After the bloody battle with the black demon, many of his bones and tendons were broken. Now, he had encountered an even stronger Number One Person. Even he, who never admitted defeat, felt bitter and powerless.

But did he have any other choice?

"Let her leave. This is between you and me. Whatever the final outcome for us, I will accept it," Wang Xuan said, looking at the unfathomable enemy opposite him, hoping to persuade him to let Jiang Qingyao leave.

"I'll join forces with you!" the Sword Immortal said bluntly. She wouldn't agree to let her escape alone.

"Let me test whether you're worth anything!" the man said calmly, still exuding dominance. He took a step forward, causing the starry sky to tremble once more. Holding the Ascension Banner in one hand, he slashed forward directly.

This simple strike was unavoidable, firstly because it was too fast, and secondly because the laws of nature roared, with countless strands of sword light locking down heaven and earth, binding this universe, and the vast aura of immortality spreading everywhere!

Wang Xuan and the Sword Immortal attacked simultaneously, each activating their Nurturing Life Furnace and Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword, leaving them no choice but to meet the attack head-on.

The terrifying clang of the supreme treasures colliding, the earth-shattering explosion—even with their combined efforts, the two couldn't withstand it. The Ascension Banner crashed down, simultaneously striking the Nurturing Life Furnace and the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword, causing both of their arms to fracture and their flesh to become mangled, both coughing up blood as they were sent flying.

This demonstrates a significant difference!

"It's not bad. I didn't hold back. You weren't completely obliterated. In the Real World, there aren't many people who could withstand that much damage," the man said calmly.

Wang Xuan and Jiang Qingyao both stared at his posture holding the Ascension Banner. Was he using the banner as a sword?

In the distance, inside the spaceship, Fang Yuzhu, the Shadow couple, the two founders of the Supernatural Palace and the Gouchen Imperial Palace, powerful figures from Buddhist and Taoist families, and two men and one woman who emerged from the Life Pool, all wielding supreme treasures, blocked the madman Shang Yi, preventing him from leaving.

"With the five treasures working together, it is not impossible to create a mirror light that can illuminate the source of the lingering turbulence of the other two treasures," the Buddhist ascetic said.

With a hum, the five treasures glowed, forming a spacetime mirror light of the Imperial Dao Level, which also intimidated Shang Yi, making him behave himself.

As expected, with so many Super Peerless individuals working together, the five treasures were successfully obtained, though the image was slightly blurry.

"What?" Someone's pupils contracted on the spot as they stared at the figure holding the Ascension Banner under the starry sky, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"How could it be him? So many years have passed. He must have been dead for at least five or six thousand years!" Even the Demon Lord's mother was shocked.

Apart from Shang Yi, none of them had experienced that Old Shi, but a vague portrait of this "Number One Person" has been passed down.

Everyone present was Super Peerless. Whether it was Fang Yuzhu, the ascetic, or the Demon Lord's parents, they had all seen those tattered portraits.

Therefore, some people recognized it at first glance.

Everyone looked at Shang Yi, observing his reaction. The man who had once suppressed even the madman was now powerless; he would surely be able to confirm whether this was the Number One Person to reappear.

"It's him! I never imagined he was still alive. No wonder I've felt so many times that someone was watching me from afar. It was him!" Shang Yi's face was extremely serious, and his expression was solemn.

Those who were present were Super Peerless upon hearing this. The Number One Person had never died? He was at least an ancient person from six or seven thousand years ago. How powerful must he have become by now? Yet he had been lying low all this time, which was puzzling and unsettling.

"You're not telling the truth!" Fang Yuzhu said, staring at the person in the mirror, then looking at Shang Yi, "That person is actually you!"

"Yes, look at the way he holds the Ascension Banner, it's clearly like he's wielding World-Crossing Sword, displaying the supreme swordsmanship without a doubt," said the Demon Lord's mother.

"No wonder you wanted to leave, fearing that things would be exposed. You didn't expect that the treasures gathered here could reveal the truth of that place."

"You madman, if you dare to hurt Wang Xuan, I'll fight you to the death!" the Demon Lord's father said coldly, staring Death Zone at Shang Yi.

Deep in the universe, Wang Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at the so-called Number One Person. His swordsmanship, his invisible domineering demeanor and charm, were too similar to the Sword Madman.

Wang Xuan and Jiang Qingyao had both read his sword manual and witnessed the Sword Madman's battle in the Immortal Land. Their every move, gesture, and supreme swordsmanship were all identical.

"The Ancient Number One Person, is he the same person?"

"No, it should be that he obtained the corpse of the Number One Person and cultivated Flesh and Blood Avatar that was no weaker than his true body!"

In an instant, Wang Xuan and Jiang Qingyao had many associations. The numerous bloody events of ancient times did not match the records and were therefore questionable!

Then, Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. Whether this man was the Number One Person or Shang Yi, they were both supreme experts from six or seven thousand years ago. Apart from Fang Yuzhu, no one in the Current Era could restrain them.

Wang Xuan is currently in a very bad state, with broken bones and ruptured internal organs. Even if he forced out all three light points, he still couldn't stop this person.

For the first time, he felt so powerless, even somewhat desperate. It wasn't that he lacked fighting spirit, but rather that his current level of skill was truly no match for his opponent's.

No wonder the Ascension Banner was able to shake open the furnace lid and rush out of the Nurturing Life Furnace. This banner had obviously been refined for many years and completely taken over by the user.

This confirms some of the speculations that the madman Shang Yi had likely refined other treasures besides the World-Crossing Sword, and now it has been proven true!

Whether it was Heng Jun, or someone even earlier, or the founder of the Supernatural Palace, or "Qi Tian," they were all just passersby of the Ascension Banner. Its true master was Shang Yi!

Many people didn't believe it before, because a person's energy is limited, and no matter how powerful a person is, they can only refine one treasure to the limit.

However, Shang Yi obtained the flesh and blood body of the Number One Person, which was tantamount to recreating himself, and was definitely no weaker than his own original body.

Therefore, he has sufficient strength and a great deal of time. He is a person from the Land of Immortal Dao from six or seven thousand years ago, and has been cultivating for a long time, so he can definitely do it.

Wang Xuan and Jiang Qingyao were filled with mixed emotions and had come to understand many things. However, they both chose to remain silent for the time being and did not provoke this terrible madman.

Back then, the madman Shang Yi constantly challenged the Number One Person. There are clear records that he never won, at most he only managed a draw. However, the Number One Person never killed him.

Due to the passage of time, it is difficult to know the details of the Number One Person, but he was definitely not a bloodthirsty person. He was of good character. Otherwise, if he had been challenged so many times and won against his opponents, a cold-blooded person would have killed the madman long ago.

But now, Shang Yi has transformed the flesh and blood of the Number One Person into his own ultimate body. The contrast between the two makes people feel the Sword Madman.

If it were Wang Xuan, he felt he would give the Number One Person a grand funeral.

"Let her go. This really has nothing to do with her," Wang Xuan said. It wasn't that he lacked fighting spirit, but after calming down, he realized that he was truly powerless to stop this ruthless person, and that acting impulsively would be useless.

Just as Jiang Qingyao was about to speak, Wang Xuan stopped her. He secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "Don't argue with me. Staying alive is the most important thing. What can you change by staying? I have no strength left to fight, and you're not in good condition either. Calm down first!"

Who doesn't understand? The difficulty is just that he can't overcome the hurdle in his heart. Jiang Qingyao said, "How will you know if you don't try?!"

No matter how you look at it, the man in front of her was no weaker than Shang Yi in his true form, and he was indeed the real Shang Yi. He glanced at the Sword Immortal and said, "You've read my Sword Manual in my secluded cultivation place— Qixia Plateau, haven't you? Stand aside for now."

Then, he looked down at Wang Xuan and walked over step by step, saying, "As for you, I'd better absorb your essence and see what happens. After all, my current body is the same type as yours, so it should be able to replenish me."

"Thump!" He held the Ascension Banner in one hand, indeed using it as a longsword, and slashed down directly, with supreme sword light pouring out, tearing through the Cosmic Void!

With a clang, the Nurturing Life Furnace emitted a terrifying roar, its dazzling immortal light surged, and Rule Fragments scattered across the sky, igniting the starry heavens, but it still couldn't stop Shang Yi.

Wang Xuan's arm bones were broken inch by inch, his flesh was torn apart, he could no longer hold onto the Furnace Body, the treasure was blasted away, his whole body was cracking, and his blood stained the starry sky.

It wasn't that he wasn't strong enough, but rather that he encountered such a Supreme God, Supreme Sage, Supreme Fierce person, far beyond the realm of reason. Even with six or seven thousand years of cultivation, he couldn't completely suppress him in this world.

This was originally the body of the first person to create special Inner Scenery Realm, extremely powerful and unparalleled. Combined with Shang Yi's primordial spirit, it was practically invincible in the mortal world.
