The Enemy Behind This Era

Late at night, Wang Xuan opened his eyes, his primordial spirit returned, and the hunger deep within his body finally disappeared.

All was quiet. The night sky in the suburbs was full of stars. He left the spaceship and stood on the ground. The weather was getting colder, and his breath was white.

Wang Xuan looked up at the starry sky, as if trying to see through the deep universe. There was a group of people struggling to cross the sea, and he wondered if they could successfully cross the sea.

In this age where spiritual practice is impossible, a group of people refuse to give up on their path, unwilling to bow down to the Real World, and embark on a path with little hope.

He waited for a long time, but the three points of light remained unchanged and gradually disappeared. He vaguely sensed that they seemed to sink into the earth beneath his life.

Wang Xuan's heart stirred, and he entered the Life Soil. He discovered some problems: the Life Soil was shrouded in mist and had a faint smell of decay.

"Do we really want to conform to this great era and decay with it?" His primordial spirit plunged downwards, but without the supreme treasure and the tenfold speed boost from the God Slaying Banner, it would take him much longer now.

"Sure enough, something has changed." He felt a chill run down his spine. He had noticed it the first two times; with There Are Supreme Treasures in hand, the speed was slower than before.

The land where Myth Origin, the birthplace of the extraordinary, the land of destiny, is in decline, and even this place is no exception, being "corrected" by this Great Universe.

His external spirit, his existing physical body, and the detached old inner vision all showed signs of this. He was not unprepared; the harsh winter had arrived.

After a long time, he finally arrived at his destination, took away a large amount of silver immortal liquid and purple substance, and even he might not be able to enter again.

Wang Xuan was very vigilant, preparing for winter and keeping a close eye on the worst possible developments.

Upon returning, he was deeply moved. His primordial spirit left his body and flew into the night sky, looking down at the brightly lit city of Ancheng in the distance. Watching the neon lights flicker and the skyscrapers rise one after another, he was somewhat lost in thought.

In this special era, if a familiar person leaves this universe, how many people can still discuss cultivation issues with him?

Wang Xuan's primordial spirit flew across the night sky, scanning the land. He feared that one day even he would be suppressed by the mortal world, his spirit unable to leave his body.

The feeling of free flight may become a luxury dream in the future.

"Hmm?" There was a river in the distance, and people were fishing in the middle of the night. One of them had a faint light emanating from his body; he was a superhuman.

Now that Transcendent Immortals have perished and winter has arrived, there are few Supernatural Practitioner left in the world. Here is one, leisurely fishing.

These past few days, while Supernatural Practitioner have been feeling lost and confused, unsure of what the future holds, he's been fishing here, which is rather strange.

Wang Xuan landed, silently approaching, and then stared at him from a distance. He quickly noticed something: this person would occasionally look in the direction of the Qing Mu's Manor.

Is this surveillance?

This person was very cautious and kept a great distance away. If Wang Xuan hadn't suddenly decided to let his spirit leave his body and streak across the night sky, he wouldn't have noticed this place at all.

Wang Xuan was almost equivalent to an Earth Immortal, far stronger than this person who barely managed to preserve his extraordinary Dao Fruit. A single Divine Sense swept over him, leaving his mind blank and frozen in place, without him even realizing it.

Soon, Wang Xuan learned that a Black Robe Man had instructed him to do this: guard Qing Mu's manor and observe for any possible appearances of Wang Xuan, preferring to miss the opportunity rather than expose himself.

That's why he kept a safe distance and mingled with the crowd of anglers.

"Black Robe Man? Without a suitable environment for cultivation, who would still care about me?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise. In an era of widespread anxiety and everyone seeking their own future, who would harbor such strong hostility?

His primordial spirit entered Ancheng, passing through towering buildings, and discovered some extraordinary individuals, but not many. They were severely suppressed, and most were only at the first or second stage of the Human World. If the Great Universe were to shake slightly again, they would most likely become ordinary mortals.

Huang Ming's Tea House was completely silent. Boss Huang had fallen from his cultivation level and become a mortal. However, Huang Ming's foundation was solid enough, far stronger than that of ordinary people. He was now Great Grandmaster.

Fortunately, his body had already solidified and had not reverted to its original form. It was clear that he was somewhat depressed and had not yet adapted to this dramatic change.

Wang Xuan flew silently, without disturbing anyone, as if it were an unknown event, and finally returned to the Qing Mu's Manor. He began to devote some of his attention to the angler.

"He didn't make any moves and stayed in the manor the whole time. I didn't dare to approach him."

Wang Xuan's efforts paid off. In the middle of the night, the man got up and, like any other fishing enthusiast, went home before dawn, making phone calls on the way.

"Don't disturb him; he's insignificant now. Don't be afraid; without the treasure, he'll die soon. Right now, our focus is on the depths of the Great Universe —it's time to reap the rewards. Heh, I'm looking forward to it."

"Sir, what will happen in the universe?" the angler asked anxiously.

"Treasure... Don't ask about things you shouldn't!" The person on the other end of the phone was cold, saying, "Stay away from that manor; it doesn't affect you much now. But if his spaceship takes off, be sure to notify me so I can shoot it down and kill it, leaving no future trouble!"

The cold voice, the decisive tone, and the bloody smell were like the whispers of a demon from the abyss. When the mysterious person hung up the phone, Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

In an instant, he thought of many things. Someone not only harbored strong hostility towards him, but also wanted to carry out a bloody harvest in the depths of the universe!

Although the mysterious man was trying to restrain himself, he was clearly impatient, as if he was about to reap the rewards of his victory.

"He mentioned the treasure."

Wang Xuan got up, entered the spaceship, and told Mechanical Xiao to contact Chen Yongjie immediately, and then contact the people in the Planar Crevice, hoping it wasn't too late.

After the signal was sent, death seemed to be counting down, chilling him to the bone and sending shivers down his spine. A strong sense of unease washed over him. Who was it? Shang Yi? Or was there some other ambitious, cold-blooded, and cruel person who was about to launch a sudden attack?

However, the signal was sent out, but there was no response from deep space. This made Wang Xuan anxious. Was it really too late? Had something already happened?

From that brief conversation, he had an extremely ominous premonition. Too many people now knew about the Planar Crevice, and someone was planning to target it with a very high success rate!

It would be impossible to succeed by relying on one's own strength or by uniting all the Supernatural Practitioner present. The most powerful people of this era, who possess supreme treasures and protect the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit, are all concentrated near the Supernatural Light Sea.

"The idea is to use Super Battleship to blast into the Planar Crevice and kill a group of Supernatural Practitioner can be killed by firearms in this era."

Even if they cannot kill them immediately, they can cause the underground cave to collapse, the sea of light to pour in, and sweep those people away. Ninety percent of the Transcendent Immortals and gods will be caught off guard and die.

A few Earth Immortals might be able to forcibly cross the sea using their treasures, but if they are suddenly attacked, it will be difficult for them to coordinate, and they may all die in the end.

After all, there have been no successful examples throughout history. If each person acts separately and relies on a precious treasure to cross the sea, it is unlikely to succeed.

In this case, all the people in the Planar Crevice would be wiped out, leaving no trace of their remains, or There Are Supreme Treasures would be left behind when the sea of light recedes.

Wang Xuan broke out in a cold sweat. He shuddered at the thought of those bloody and cruel scenes. The perpetrators were too ruthless, acting so coldly against such a backdrop.

"Little Bear, have you still not been able to contact them?"

"No, the message has been sent, and hopefully they received it."

Wang Xuan was sweating profusely. The world was full of suffering, and there was no way forward in cultivation. A group of top-level extraordinary individuals with dreams and unwilling to give up were about to forge a path and risk their lives for the future. Who could have imagined that under such circumstances, someone behind them would make a vicious move?

He was somewhat saddened. The world had deteriorated to this point. Some people were willing to risk their lives to find a New World, but others wanted to shoot them in the back and take their lives.

Now he can only wait, unable to stop it, and it's highly likely that it's too late.

"The Fallen Dreadful Spirits, Shang Yi, the founder of the Great Demon Fetus Technique... who else?" He considered one by one the potential powerful beings and malicious creatures at present.

"Qian Lei, if someone attacks a spaceship that takes off from the Old Earth, are you able to detect and locate it immediately?"

Wang Xuan was powerless to change the situation deep in the universe. He wanted to investigate here first, then take action, his body radiating murderous intent, and contact the Relevant Departments.

He met Qian Lei in the Old Earth before he became a superhuman, and now he contacts him immediately.

In addition, Guan Lin works there, and Chen Yongjie also works there and has a good relationship with the deputy in the Relevant Department.

"What happened?" Qian Lei asked.

"Something bad is about to happen..." Wang Xuan quickly recounted what had happened.

"Old Chen is also involved in the depths of the universe..."

In a quick and simple conversation, Wang Xuan had already left the manor, caught up with the angler, subdued him, and sent his call logs to Qian Lei for him to check.

After ending the call, Wang Xuan carried the man back to the Qing Mu's Manor, looked at the Mechanical Xiao, and said, "Bear, if someone locks onto the spaceship and tries to shoot you down while you're heading into outer space, you'll be alright if you take precautions beforehand, right?"

"It's alright, who can shoot down a bear? I'll beat them to a pulp!" the little bear said expressionlessly.

"Okay, wait quietly and be ready to act at any time," Wang Xuan said.

Soon, Qian Lei received news and immediately located the position of the person who was talking to the angler.

"Be careful and don't let anyone launch a surprise attack and destroy you and your spaceship," Wang Xuan warned Little Bear. Then, he set off alone; the mysterious person was in the next city.

He acted overnight, preparing for a hunt, intending to search the soul and skin of that person to find out everything.

He felt uneasy and extremely uneasy, worried about those familiar faces, and at the same time, incredibly angry that the person who made the move was heartless and extremely vicious.

At that moment, he exuded a strong killing intent as he sped away along a river. He didn't use his physical body, because it wasn't fast enough; he simply flew across the river, rushing towards the distant, dimly lit city before dawn.

Deep in the universe, terrifying beams of light intertwined, one after another, like countless comets streaking across the dark void, and earth-shattering energy clouds rose up.

Within the Planar Crevice, the underground caverns collapsed, and the dense, spiderweb-like, yet colossal passages, like insurmountable chasms, were continuously exploding.

The Earth Abyss was subjected to the most violent bombardment. The Supernatural Light Sea poured out, the waves surged to the sky, and even broke through the Planar Crevice, illuminating the dark Cosmic Void.
