The Last Gleam of Supernatural Splendor
"How is this possible?!"
Wang Xuan roared, his heart restless. He was in contact with near-real matter and had been exploring the Land of Nothingness beneath the Life Land, unlike many other extraordinary beings.
Even when several treasures vibrated together, he never fell from his cultivation level. But after arriving here, he unexpectedly encountered an accident and became a mortal.
This made him very uncomfortable; he never imagined that he would have such a day.
Is the Cliff of Lost Dao a prelude to the future?
The Great Universe Error Correction, and all traces of extraordinary desires will inevitably be erased. In the long future, myths will become the past, stories told by others, and will never truly reappear.
In the future, will the entire Real World become Cliff of Lost Dao?
Is this place a subtle warning to all practitioners, urging them to plan ahead for the future?
Unfortunately, Wang Xuan never experienced the glorious period of mythology and went directly into experiencing this cruelty.
A hand the size of a door came crashing down. He tried to dodge it, but the impact made the ground tremble slightly. At this point, he could easily die here.
Puff!
A flash of blood appeared as he severed the enormous hand with the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword. He then stepped forward, swiftly piercing the massive creature's brow and killing it instantly.
A group of creatures covered in golden scales appeared, resembling flying yakshas. Although they lacked magical power, they were all incredibly strong and resilient, making it difficult even for Great Grandmaster to contend with them.
Wang Xuan struck with great force, and the furnace lid lost its luster. However, it was still as powerful and heavy as Heaven-Overturning Seal, smashing the skulls of a group of golden yakshas with a series of thuds.
There were all sorts of ferocious creatures: giant insects I didn't recognize, ferocious beasts with colorful plumage, birds of prey resembling Golden-winged Great Peng, and vengeful ghosts like those from hell. They all climbed up from the bottom of the cliff, and some even swooped down from distorted spacetime. They were all reduced to mortal bodies and had lost their supernatural powers.
This kind of fighting is even more dangerous, forcing both sides to make physical contact and engage in close-quarters combat.
Wang Xuan fought with all his might, his purple Broken Sword slicing across the necks of one creature after another, decapitating a large number of them. However, he himself was also covered in wounds and bloodstains, suffering serious injuries.
"Go!" the white-haired woman said. She was very skilled, but without the rules and without her extraordinary abilities, she was ultimately unable to hold on and was overwhelmed by various creatures. One of her arms was almost torn off by the sharp teeth of a beast.
She didn't groan or cry for help; her expression was calm. Although she was resisting and struggling, she was already prepared to die.
Puff!
Wang Xuan leaped forward, smashed the beast's head with the furnace lid, and then used the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword to kill a number of living beings, rescuing her.
"Where is my power? After the transcendence is extinguished, am I destined to degenerate into a mortal in the future?" Wang Xuan was unwilling to accept this. He fought enemies here, battled humanoid creatures, and fought against all kinds of ferocious beasts. He was covered in wounds, hoping that the flames of transcendence would surge forth.
He found it hard to accept this reality, even on the so-called Cliff of Lost Dao.
"I told you, you should leave now, go back immediately!" The white-haired woman turned around and said loudly, "You've experienced it, you know what the situation is like here. Just make sure you survive, everything else can wait!"
She turned and left Wang Xuan, rushing away into the distance.
Wang Xuan followed along, fighting desperately. Now that he had agreed to come here, he would not be perfunctory and would do his best to fight to the end. It was not yet time to save his own life and leave.
"I'm so unwilling!" he muttered to himself during the fierce battle.
Right now, he feels like he's back to the time when he was practicing Old Arts. He no longer has supernatural powers or an inexhaustible source of secret energy, and can only rely on his physical body to fight.
Bang!
In this place, there were creatures of all races. A sharp claw reached out from behind him and pierced his back, almost piercing him through. Instantly, blood gushed out, and half of his body was stained red.
This made his blood surge and boil, and an emotion exploded in his heart. He was both shocked and angry. If one day in the future it would be like this, and he completely lost his supernatural abilities, his cultivation would lose all meaning.
Without turning around, he slashed backward with his sword, splitting the creature's body in two and killing it swiftly.
He himself was in excruciating pain all over his body, and already had many terrible wounds, but at this moment, a surge of heat suddenly appeared, and a long-lost feeling suddenly rose in his heart. He saw three points of light again!
"This is..."
Then, a faint Supernatural Light flowed within him, nourishing his withered body. His physique regained its powerful strength, though far less than before, but still surpassing that of ordinary people.
Moreover, as time went by, that power seemed to continue to slowly increase, and Wang Xuan found that his heart gradually calmed down.
This power originated from his own body. In a brief moment, his eyes stung and he almost burst into tears. He still possessed Supernatural Power. If he lost the meaning of cultivation, he dared not imagine the future.
If he could do this at the Cliff of Lost Dao, then it means that he should still have a chance in the face of the Great Universe Error Correction.
"Kill!" He wielded his sword and swept across the area, leading the white-haired woman forward in a fierce battle, with the heads of various creatures rolling down around them.
Finally, the two of them reached the edge of the Cliff of Lost Dao and were about to escape. Behind them were piles of corpses and wreckage everywhere, like a hellish killing field.
He carried the severely injured white-haired woman on his back, leaped up, rushed out of the grand cliff, and stepped onto a piece of land. In the strange Great Universe, there was a small landmass floating here.
"Put me down. My cultivation is starting to recover here. Don't follow me anymore. I'm almost at my destination. If you continue with me, you will die." The woman landed on the ground.
Indeed, Wang Xuan sensed an extremely dangerous aura here, which made him intensely uneasy. Death seemed to be getting closer and closer to him, and if he continued on, he might disappear from the world.
"Senior!" Wang Xuan looked at her.
"You have done very well. I believe you can safely return to the present world alive by following the original path," the woman said. Her aura changed, and her cultivation was recovering and improving.
At this moment, her wounds have healed, her body is crystalline, radiating Divine Radiance, and the remaining power of the rules has reappeared, probably surpassing the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit.
She told Wang Xuan to leave the small piece of land, saying, "You can watch my path carefully. Whether I succeed or fail, don't worry about it. Just turn back when you see the result."
Wang Xuan nodded silently.
"Boom!"
As the woman soared into the air and charged forward, endless black matter rose from the entire landmass, transforming into flames and lightning, all of which struck her, leaving her no way to dodge. Even the entire space was burned and collapsed.
The surrounding Great Universe, which was already distorted, became even more blurred by the burning and lightning, as if it were about to disintegrate.
Wang Xuan's pupils contracted. The black substance rising in front of this land was similar to the Red Substance he had encountered in the Land of Nothingness; both were incredibly terrifying and seemed capable of destroying everything.
What kind of place is this? There's actually this black substance that's so incredibly realistic! He was shocked.
The white-haired woman remained silent, her entire body glowing as she fought back. However, as time passed, even someone as powerful as her was burned, her flesh peeled off, her blood dried up, her bones turned black, and her hair was long gone.
Her back view was pitiful, unbearable to look at, but she herself walked with firm steps, never uttering a sound of pain, silently rushing forward!
"Senior!" Wang Xuan whispered, able to feel the pain. He had once used the complete Nurturing Life Furnace to float and cross the sea of Red Substance. At that time, he felt the pain of his soul being torn apart. Even with There Are Supreme Treasures in hand, he was still like this and could not pass through the meteorite passage.
Now, the woman was engulfed by a vast ocean of black matter, with black flames raging in the sky. Without any support, she could not utter a sound and charged straight forward.
In the end, she stumbled and was about to fall. There was no flesh left on her body, only a charred skeleton. Her spirit had been burned and dimmed. Finally, she collapsed on the road.
Wang Xuan stared, his heart aching. She had actually died?
She was a seeker of the Dao with a strong will and unwavering determination, but in the end, she could not hold on and collapsed in the sea of fire of black matter.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Wang Xuan noticed that the woman moved again, got up, and with the dim light of her primordial spirit, she used her last strength to rush towards the outside of the black land.
The distorted spacetime around her became increasingly blurry as she traversed the sea of black matter and made her way through!
She possessed an unwavering belief; even with her bones burned and her body nearly falling apart, her spirit on the verge of extinction, she still did not give up.
The woman leaped off the black land and rushed toward the destination she had been searching for. She succeeded and landed there.
The once dark space suddenly lit up, and the area in front of her was incredibly open. Spacetime was no longer distorted, and everything was instantly dazzling, as if the dark Great Universe had been ignited. She stepped into a place that shone brightly.
At this moment, her flesh and blood regenerated, and she began to reshape her body. Moreover, her power continued to increase, surpassing the suppression of the mortal world and rising higher and higher.
Her jet-black hair grew long and flowed freely, her body glowed, snow-white and crystalline, and she was once again covered by the immortal feather robe, appearing ethereal and otherworldly.
At this moment, she once again became a Super Peerless, in harmony with the rules. She became young again, returning to the peak state of her life.
The woman did not look back, but with unwavering determination, she charged towards the dazzling end!
Wang Xuan's heart was filled with emotion; he was happy for her and watched her leave.
But at the very last moment, at the end of that glowing light, the woman's body suddenly stiffened, and she stopped, unable to move.
She turned back with difficulty, looked at Wang Xuan one last time, seemed to say something, and then, with all her might, turned her head away. She still wanted to keep moving forward and pursue her dream destination.
Puff!
The last, poignant burst of crimson exploded, her body shattered and vanished, the blood-red light fell, and the entire magnificent world fell silent, before plunging into utter darkness.
Wang Xuan was shocked, his heart filled with pain, regret for her, resentment for her, and emptiness in his heart. Had she really died like that? In his final moment, he saw the last glimmer of extraordinary brilliance in this era.
