The Ruthless Ones Who Fought for Three Thousand Years

It was before dawn, the last moments of the night, and the night was still dark!

Wang Xuan flew close to the river surface, the reeds on both sides of the riverbank rushing past him. He flew more than a hundred miles and arrived at the neighboring city, Yuan City.

His primordial spirit traversed the sky at incredible speed. In a flash of light, he stood high in the sky, looking down at the city lights twinkling in the night, his killing intent vanishing.

He found the landmark building, the third tallest building in the Yuan City, a Seven-Star Hotel, with a rooftop where small spaceships could take off and land.

Wang Xuan realized he didn't need to search; the person he was looking for wasn't in the hotel room, but on the rooftop.

The man, dressed in black, stood on the rooftop, holding a glass of red wine, gazing at the deep cosmos.

He was enjoying the moment, silently raising his glass to the heavens, somewhat intoxicated, as if celebrating this wonderful occasion.

"Heh, so what if you 'Super Peerless and have gathered several supreme treasures? You're still going to die. The Supernatural Light Sea is a dead end; countless civilizations have perished there. Rather than that, I'd rather kill you all, seize a few supreme treasures, and leave them for my old friend and me to take another path."

He tilted his head back and drank the wine, squinted his eyes, and waited for good news from the starry sky. According to the timeline, it had already been launched, and the most powerful people of this era were about to die!

"Who?" Suddenly, his hair stood on end, and he looked up sharply, spotting Wang Xuan in the sky. He immediately dropped his wine glass.

With a bang, his black robe exploded, turning into endless black mist that engulfed the sky, and his figure disappeared from the sight of ordinary people.

However, he couldn't hide it from Wang Xuan. His Spiritual Heavenly Eye remained effective even after the myth disappeared, and he could see Wang Xuan rushing towards a small spaceship on the rooftop.

Wang Xuan's primordial spirit scanned the entire building and found that there were no other accomplices besides him. Only then did it stare at him again, its murderous aura boiling.

Wang Xuan rarely thought of killing someone like this. He couldn't accept the possibility that Zhang Daoling, Sword Immortal, Fang Yuzhu, the Shadow couple, the Demon Lord, and others would be killed by warships.

In fact, his heart was pounding at that moment. His intuition told him that something was happening deep in the universe, and that the Supernatural Light Sea was probably about to erupt.

That kind of radiation still has some impact on the Real World.

This means that the underground cave has most likely collapsed, Planar Crevice has been bombarded by Super Battleship.

With a whoosh, the Mysterious Man was twisted by an inexplicable force field and was almost torn to pieces on the spot. He was covered in blood and flew backward, unable to get close to the spaceship at all.

Although Wang Xuan wished he could kill him immediately, he had to restrain himself and wanted to know the various secrets of this bloody conspiracy.

This person is very strong. He has the face of a middle-aged man, with a hint of decay. In this era, he can still maintain the cultivation level of the seventh stage in the Human World.

This is already quite remarkable, because some of the most powerful gods and Peerless Grade Transcendent Immortals now fallen to the fifth or sixth level, and some have even fallen to the fourth level.

He must have had extraordinary means to retain his seventh-level Dao Fruit, most likely by using a rare artifact.

"Another Fallen Dreadful Spirits!" Wang Xuan looked directly at its essence and saw the blood-red primordial spirit within it, carrying a negative aura. Its strength must have been extremely strong in the past.

However, how can a seventh-level Supernatural Practitioner compare to Wang Xuan?

He is now equivalent to an Earth Immortal, the ceiling of this universe, and few beings in the Supernatural Domain can threaten him.

"Something unexpected happened. It seems I was too hasty. I wanted to kill you as soon as possible, but I gave myself away. If I had known, I would have just bombarded that manor outside Ancheng!"

The ghost spoke, revealing a middle-aged man with a fair complexion, cold eyes, and a slightly sinister air. It was too late for regrets.

In fact, if possible, he hoped to obtain the treasure and then deal with Wang Xuan once the overall situation was settled, perhaps even capturing him alive. He had already heard that this young man wanted to forge a new path and possessed a great secret.

"Speak, who else is there? What did you do to that Planar Crevice?" Wang Xuan said coldly, instantly descending and closing in on them.

The Fallen Dreadful Spirits was not afraid. He took two steps back and said, "There's nothing to hide. I personally took control of some warships of this era and mobilized two ancient spaceships that I used to control. I want to blast away the Transcendent Immortals, slaughter all the gods, and take away the treasure."

With a bang, he was torn apart and pulled by an invisible force field. His body was covered in cracks and could explode at any moment. Moreover, his primordial spirit was imprisoned and could not self-destruct.

"It's too late. Whether you're angry or anxious, it's all too late. The fleet has already made its move, catching them completely off guard. Since the myth has decayed, let the last candle be extinguished as well." He was actually laughing.

With a bang, his body was torn apart by an unknown force and turned to ashes in a burst of extraordinary flames. His primordial spirit was grabbed by Wang Xuan and he began to search for his soul.

"Outside the Old Earth, coordinates..." Wang Xuan sent a text message to Qian Lei, telling him the precise coordinates of the hostile spaceship. There was only one, and it could be easily taken down.

"Is it just an avatar? Is its lair in the extinguished Immortal Realm?" Wang Xuan shattered the crimson primordial spirit without leaving a trace.

But he still felt a tightness in his chest. It was too late for anything he did now; what was supposed to happen deep in the universe had already happened.

"Fallen Dreadful Spirits!" He gritted his teeth, soared into the sky, and flew towards Mount Wangwu, from where he could enter the extinguished immortal realm.

In fact, he could return to his original form and enter through the mist above his own natal land. However, he feared that the Immortal Realm was too vast and he wouldn't be able to find the haunted lair in time.

It would be better to follow the memories of this Fallen Dreadful Spirits and enter through Mount Wangwu, which it had passed through.

Everything went smoothly. Deep within a shattered cave ruin in Mount Wangwu, Wang Xuan opened his Spiritual Heavenly Eye and saw a blurry and dark Immortal Realm Phantom.

Ordinary people cannot see it; only those with extraordinary abilities can.

"After the Immortal Realm was extinguished, it did not completely disappear, but rather became dark and lifeless, and no longer prevented extraordinary beings from entering."

He rushed in. It was a half-material, half-spiritual plane, filled with the stench of decay. Nothing grew there. All the creatures that once existed were dead. There were also some ancient tribes that had buried themselves in advance. According to legend, when the next extraordinary era arrives, their bodies may perish, but the seeds nurtured by their souls will revive.

The pitch-black celestial realm, devoid of any light or life, is cold, silent, and unsettling. There is a saying that some of these lost lands are the manifestations of the Extinguished Great Curtain.

That makes a lot of sense; some of the dead places are the lair of Ancient Dreadful Spirits.

In the present celestial realm, all living beings are dead, including plants and trees, making it easy for ghosts to breed, according to ancient records.

Ahead, endless shadows, densely packed, resembled hordes of the dead converging in one direction, heading into a strange land.

"Is this how Ancient Dreadful Spirits are born? Unyielding obsessions devour each other, eventually giving birth to powerful individuals," Wang Xuan murmured.

This means that after the immortal realm becomes dead, countless races and endless beings will eventually return in the form of ghosts.

"No, someone is guiding this, deliberately catalyzing it, drawing in obsessions, and forcing them to grow; otherwise, it would be more than that!"

He possesses Spiritual Heavenly Eye that allows him to see everything; there's something wrong with the terrain ahead.

Finally, Dao Body figure descended from the sky with a thunderous roar, carrying boundless sword light, tearing apart the earth below. In this era, the soaring sword light once again illuminated the extinguished immortal realm.

"Heh, you actually came. It seems you killed my avatar. His memories were incomplete, and my main body intentionally erased the key information." Someone spoke; it was a phantom, with a faint smile.

"The First Killing Array, the work of the creator of the Great Demon Fetus Technique, has joined forces with you, a creepy spirit." Wang Xuan spoke, staring at him and asking, "Where are your true forms?"

A killing formation has been set up in this area!

"We've gone to the depths of the universe to retrieve the treasures. Now that we've destroyed the Planar Crevice, we naturally have to collect the spoils. Right now, it's quite magnificent there," said the ghost spirit. He was merely a shadow, not his true form.

"No, you are not his primordial spirit, but merely a fragment of his spiritual light." The shadow realized this only then, and sighed, "You got lucky. You were so cautious that you escaped this calamity."

Outside, Wang Xuan watched indifferently. He scanned the area with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye and realized that in this era, the so-called First Killing Array formation had been weakened by an unknown amount!

Because there are no laws anymore, they only provide pure energy. The magic array can only brutally kill the enemy with sword energy and beams of light. As for the Order God Chain, with laws running rampant, it is simply impossible for it to appear.

Wang Xuan had studied the First Killing Array in depth and could now set it up himself. If he were trapped inside, it would be really difficult to deal with. However, being outside, he carefully observed the formation and then began to take action, directly dismantling it and collecting various rare materials.

"They really spared no expense, burying the Good Fortune True Crystal to provide energy."

While breaking through the killing formation, he discovered many priceless treasures, which were looted by the founders of the Ghost Spirit and Demon Embryo before the end of the immortal realm. They were truly extraordinary.

"I will need them in the future; perhaps I will have the opportunity to refine the diagram of the true First Killing Array!"

With a soft "poof," the shadow swiftly turned on itself, instantly disintegrating and vanishing into a stream of light.

After dismantling the killing formation and collecting a large number of Heavenly Treasures, Wang Xuan discovered that there was also a special formation here that could gather spirits and attract the resentment of heroes from various races.

"It's a bit like the legendary Spirit Burial Array? It cultivates vengeful ghosts and breeds unparalleled ferocious creatures. It seems that this is how the Ancient Dreadful Spirits came about, using a extinguished immortal realm as their nurturing soil!"

Wang Xuan destroyed it. He had collected too many rare materials, and since there were no more spatial treasures in this era, it would be difficult to take them all with him.

Finally, he scattered and buried these things in the desolate lands of the immortal realm, so that he could retrieve them later if needed.

"I hope no bad news comes from the depths of the universe." He embarked on his journey home with a heavy heart.

As dawn broke and daylight broke, Wang Xuan returned to Ancheng, his body and spirit united, and opened his eyes.

"Wang Xuan, Chen Yongjie has been contacted. He's been looking for you several times already," Mechanical Xiao informed them immediately.

There couldn't be better news. At least Chen Yongjie wasn't dead. Wang Xuan quickly tried to contact him again, and the call connected instantly.

"Wang Xuan, I'm fine. What I just experienced was terrifying and violent. It felt like the universe exploded!" Chen Yongjie said.

Qing Mu appeared, leaned close to the screen, and said with some excitement, "A cosmic war!"

"How are the Shadow couple, Fang Yuzhu, Sword Immortal, Xu Fu, and the Demon Lord?" Wang Xuan asked quickly, wishing he could rush over immediately.

"They... a bunch of cunning people, how could anything happen to them? Don't worry, they have more warships, they've made arrangements in advance," Chen Yongjie said.

Wang Xuan was well aware that when they went to the Planar Crevice, those people all had huge warships and giant motherships escorting them.

However, those ships were later taken away by their followers.

"They didn't leave. It's clearly a pre-arranged plan. They're on guard, afraid someone might go crazy and wipe them out. All the ships are hiding in deep space, and there are monitoring points near those inevitable wormholes," Qing Mu explained in detail.

The creators of the Ghost Spirit and Great Demon Fetus Technique were the culprits. Their fleet was discovered far away. Then, the Shadow couple, Fang Yuzhu, and others received the report, left the underground cave, and boarded a spaceship to leave temporarily.

At that time, a group of powerful figures issued an order that contact with the outside world was temporarily prohibited, and Wang Xuan received no response.

When the enemy ships arrived, there was no one there. It was just a show of Transcendent Immortals leaving behind a few spaceships, but in reality, the place was deserted.

The powerful, terrifying spirit and the creator of the Great Demon Fetus Technique ordered the bombardment of the Planar Crevice, the destruction of the underground cavern, and the backflow of the Supernatural Light Sea.

Finally, when things calmed down, the two villains smiled and led their subordinates into the Planar Crevice to search for the treasure.

"Then, tragedy struck. Fairy Fang, Senior Yan Mingcheng, and the others returned on their mothership and warships, cornered them there, and slaughtered them all!"

Wang Xuan's heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried for nothing all night, but those people were fine.

He felt relieved. What kind of people were they? They had fought and battled for three thousand years in the cruel Great Barrier. They were all the elite of the elite, ruthless people. Otherwise, they wouldn't have survived and wouldn't have reached their current level.

"Senior Yan, Senior Bai, Fairy Fang, Senior Xu Fu, and others all said that they don't want you to come and see them off, as it would only add to their sorrow. They hope that you can forge a new path in this world, and if they are still alive, they will meet again in the new universe in the future," Chen Yongjie informed them.
