New Chapter: An Enemy Comes from Afar
They were attacked! In that instant, Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. The spaceship was once locked on and in danger of capsizing. However, without him having to use any means, the spaceship teleported instantly. Its performance was terrifyingly high. A beam of light flew past the space on the side of the ship.
Moreover, along with the massive explosion, a ship's hull burst open in the distance, like a meteor streak raging across the land, unleashing devastating waves of light.
That was an enemy ship, and it was destroyed!
The Mechanical Xiao and the Silver Spaceship are one and the same. While controlling the spaceship to evade, it launched a counterattack and killed the opponent.
"Dare to ambush a bear? I'll kill you!" the little bear said.
Although it was angry, it maintained its speaking speed and continued to speak in a calm tone, mechanically expressing its dissatisfaction.
Wang Xuan was not a mechanical being, so his emotions naturally fluctuated. He gripped the Imperial Dao Spear in his palm, ready to activate it at any moment and send the treasure to kill the enemy.
The peace that had lasted for years was shattered today. Could someone have lost their temper? Naturally, he was now filled with murderous intent!
The situation here was naturally detected by the Old Earth's detectors immediately. Because it was so close to the homeland and the commotion was so great, it was impossible for such an air battle to go unnoticed.
"There's another one. Trying to escape? I'll turn you into scrap metal." The Mechanical Xiao spoke calmly, uttering harsh words, and had already activated its energy shield, giving chase at top speed.
Despite its small size, the silver-white spaceship has become a super war machine after continuous upgrades, incorporating the essence of various motherships and giant warships, and undergoing multiple reorganizations.
In the distance, there was a massive black warship, as ferocious as a prehistoric beast, firing energy cannons in succession. When it realized it couldn't take down its target, it quickly fled into the distance.
"King Earth Immortal has been attacked by a warship!" This news, accompanied by a picture of a spaceship disintegrating and exploding in outer space, immediately caused a huge stir.
When Zhong Yong returned to New Star last time, he was suddenly and fiercely attacked, causing his warship to disintegrate. The culprit has not been found to this day. Now someone is trying to kill Wang Xuan in the Old Earth.
Both of them have impressive backgrounds; one is a prominent figure in a conglomerate, and the other is a celestial being in the Supernatural Domain who has yet to decay.
It was like some kind of signal, with a powerful force stirring things up in the shadows, attacking key figures among the tycoons and superhumans one after another, which shocked many people.
"Boom!"
In the starry sky, the menacing black warship, though advanced, was still hit, emitting a blinding light, and a massive explosion occurred in the left rear compartment.
"Superior performance, comparable to an ancient spaceship from the Ghostly Realm, suspected of being reconstructed multiple times, no weaker than a technological product from another universe." A mechanical voice came from inside the black warship, as if conducting an assessment.
Clearly, this was not being controlled by humans, but by a robot. This was its last signal, after which it self-destructed according to the command.
With a loud thud, the ship's hull, which resembled a ferocious steel beast, exploded and disintegrated in a burst of energy light, leaving only some alloy fragments after things calmed down.
The Mechanical Xiao was furious. It had originally planned to gather information before destroying the target, but the target destroyed itself first. It then wandered around the nearby starry sky, unable to find any other clues.
Soon after, Qing Mu arrived in his warship at breakneck speed, fearing something might happen to Wang Xuan.
"Where are the enemies? Are there any left? Anyone who dares to oppose the Ship Cultivation lineage, wipe them all out." He arrived at the scene immediately after receiving the news.
"The ship immortals are here; they can't harm Wang Xuan," the Mechanical Xiao sent out a signal in response.
Upon hearing this, Qing Mu sighed with admiration, "The Ship Cultivation lineage has a worthy successor."
This incident had an extremely negative impact. Some people were clinging to their Old Earth and attacking Wang Xuan. Such ruthless and vicious attacks showed they were not afraid of causing a major storm.
No matter what, he was still an Earth Immortal, yet someone actually wanted to send him to his death with an energy cannon.
"Simple, direct, brutal, and utterly arrogant. Do they want to start a war in the Old Earth?" Chen Yongjie immediately used the secret route organization's voice to demand a thorough investigation into the matter.
In fact, this kind of terrorist attack is abhorrent to all parties. It is not just a matter of life and death. If people act recklessly like this, who wouldn't be afraid?
Relevant departments and many large organizations in the Old Earth have stepped forward to demand a thorough investigation.
The organizations affiliated with New Star also issued statements strongly condemning the attack, deeming it a crime against humanity and deserving severe punishment.
Of course, it's unknown whether some major powers truly think this way.
After the incident, Wang Xuan did not return. Instead, he accompanied the Mechanical Xiao to the moon along the original route to explore the ruins and see if any advanced technology was left behind.
"Wang Xuan ..." Zhao Qinghan's face turned pale. After receiving the news, her heart pounded with anxiety, worried that something might have happened to him.
"It's nothing, just a firework with some technological sophistication. This kind of attack is nothing. If they think they have too many warships, they can just keep adding to the splendor of space."
Following that, various phone calls came in one after another. Some were from acquaintances who were concerned, while others were from organizations that were asking for details.
On that day, there was all sorts of discussion. After all, the fact that a mere Earth Immortal, the pinnacle of the Supernatural Domain, was targeted by a warship had a significant impact.
"Interesting. Someone has finally started to make a move. Has he noticed something? Has he realized that even the Earth Immortals are decaying? Is this... a test?" someone speculated.
After all, in the past, all parties have been cautious and have lived in peace with each other, with no one willing to step forward and stir up trouble.
"I also think he's no longer worthy of the title. It's been almost nine years since the Supernatural Finale, and almost Transcendent Immortals have gradually become mortals. He was somewhat special back then, but he probably couldn't hold out for long. We haven't seen him make a move in recent years; he's been running into the universe. Perhaps he's just running away and hiding his weakness."
Some people followed up and expressed their opinions, and this terrorist attack has led some to speculate about the current state of the supernatural.
Of course, these things weren't discussed openly, as they are somewhat sensitive, but some organizations and factions within the camp have already begun to have doubts.
However, a photograph that day caused them to lose their composure.
In the Old Earth, a space probe captured images of Wang Xuan walking on the moon. He was not wearing Spacesuit and calmly measuring the Zu Chongzhi crater and strolling through other famous impact craters.
Many people were speechless. Was this a trip? Had they gone to the moon to check off their travel plans?
"Earth Immortal? That's so unscientific! What era are we living in? How can there still be such a person!" Not long ago, those who were secretly excited, thinking they had uncovered the truth and believed that Mythical Eternal Silence and that the superhumans were completely weakened, are now very disappointed and even somewhat indignant.
"As expected of the King Earth Immortal, judging from his relaxed and carefree appearance, his physical body is probably no different from what it was back then!" A fallen Supernatural Practitioner was overjoyed and excited. As long as there are such powerful figures in the Supernatural Realm, no one would dare to act rashly and would be extremely wary.
Not long after, Zhou Qinghuang left a message on a self-media platform, which was quite sad: I miss it and want to walk on the moon in real life.
For a time, all sorts of extraordinary individuals, especially the former immortals, had mixed feelings. They also wanted to travel between heaven and earth and enter the universe in their true forms.
In the past, these things meant nothing to them, but now they can't do them anymore.
However, the tone quickly changed, with various internet celebrities following suit. "Master, please take me with you, I'm going to check in on the moon in real life!"
King Earth Immortal, who had been silent for many years, was attacked and killed on this day, which awakened some people's long-forgotten memories, and the discussion about the New Star was more than that about the Old Earth.
After all, he kept a relatively low profile in his Old Earth, but he really made a big splash in the New Star scene.
Wang Xuan ignored these concerns and didn't need to care. He didn't find any valuable relics on the moon and returned to his Old Earth later.
Chen Yongjie appeared immediately, his expression grave, and said, "Can you guess which force it is? If there's a first time, there might be a second!"
He was very serious. The impact and escalation of this matter would not end there. Since the other party dared to make a move against Wang Xuan, it was impossible for it to end so hastily.
Perhaps there won't be any problems in the near future, and the other party may not make any rash moves for the next few years. However, someone who dares to use such ruthless methods will eventually lose their temper.
"It's hard to say." Wang Xuan shook his head. He was naturally not letting his guard down. Someone had even tried to bombard him with a warship, which was no small matter.
"I have killed demons in the New Star, slaughtered gods in the Immortal Land, and fought to the death with ghosts. I have quite a few potential enemies. In addition, there are a few tycoons who were very hostile to me in the past."
Chen Yongjie frowned upon hearing this. Things were not what they used to be. Everything related to the extraordinary was decaying. Even though Wang Xuan was remarkable in the past, his current state was definitely not comparable to what he had been. He could sense that Wang Xuan had been weakening over the years!
"Don't worry, it's good that it's been revealed early. At least we know someone has always been thinking about me." Wang Xuan said calmly, then added, "Old Chen, in the years to come, you must take care of your health. Perhaps one day, I can lead you back onto the path of the extraordinary!"
Chen Yongjie suddenly looked up, his eyes bright, the embers of hope in his heart reignited. He had given up hope all these years, but now, his heart was surging with passion.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to guide me!" He suppressed his fluctuating emotions, and although he was still worried about Wang Xuan's current situation, he didn't say anything more.
Zhao Qinghan arrived, but Wang Xuan reassured her, telling her to go back to the lab and not come to Yuncheng for the time being, because he felt that things were not over yet.
Zhao Qinghan understood him, and she was also very rational. After hearing this, she nodded and did not stay, not wanting to distract him.
Whether it was a test or a real attack, how could a single bombardment by warships be considered the end? Wang Xuan's expression was indifferent; naturally, he was very eager to know who it was.
For many years, he has not shed blood again, nor has he had such a strong urge to kill.
"Don't go to the outer realms recently. This era is really unfriendly to extraordinary people. Even if you have the power of an Earth Immortal, you might still die from technological weapons if you're not careful. Think about the extraordinary people of the past. Some of them lost their lives in this way. It's such a pity."
Wang Xuan's parents were naturally worried and repeatedly told him not to run around.
"I know," he nodded.
However, on that very night, in the latter half of the night, he got up, his face calm, his eyes slightly cold, and left the house silently.
Many years after the Mythical Eternal Silence, someone still possessed the ability to send messages through dreams. Of course, they dared not actually approach him, but instead called his name from a very distant place, shining a ray of spiritual light into his dream.
Undeterred, Wang Xuan calmly left Yuncheng in the latter half of the night and headed towards Great Black Mountain.
It was indeed somewhat unexpected that someone would dare to approach him using extraordinary means.
Sizzle!
On the way, before even entering the mountains and only a dozen miles from the city, astonishing phenomena appeared in the world.
A crimson glow pierced through the heavens and earth, swooping down at breakneck speed and illuminating the pitch-black night sky. It was a flying sword, slashing down from the heavens!
In this day and age, it's truly astonishing that someone can still wield a flying sword!
