The Elysium Across Deep Space - Chapter 512: Nearing The End

Wang Xuan landed beside the Demon Lord. The Godslaying Banner swept like a broadsword, and the head of the mighty god was chopped off, their spirit crushed.

“Who is this?!” Some mighty undyings were astonished. The strong within the Great Barrier didn’t know much about earthly matters. Not everyone knew about this god slayer.

However, they didn’t underestimate him. As soon as someone spoke up, several weapons, accompanied by dazzling sword lights, blood-dripping halberds, and cages constructed of spiritual power, were all used against Wang Xuan.

These people were very strong, most of them were at the Fourth Stage. They were the main bodies of gods that have entered the mortal world. Only a few were at the Third Stage.

Wielding the Godslaying Banner, golden mesh intertwined around Wang Xuan, expanding like a spider web and turning into a vast net. The net was trapping the foremost undying, and was directly tearing apart his spirit!

The banner pole in his hand was like a spear, stabbing forward suddenly. With a puff sound, it pierced through a god, lifting him up, and he was torn apart with a fierce shake.

This scene stunned the pursuers. The young man blocking their path was too fierce, even killing gods as soon as he appeared.

Where did he come from? Was he a famous figure among the peerless transcendents of the Immortal Realm?

When Wang Xuan was at the Twelfth Stage, he had fought against and defeated the main bodies of gods from the Second and Third Stages of the Wanderer Realm. Now, at the Thirteenth Stage, he was naturally stronger than them.

Even though these people were the main bodies of gods and undyings entering the mortal world, they couldn’t exceed the limits of the rules in the mortal world. Hence, Wang Xuan could contend with them as they were all in the Fourth Stage.

In the end, this wasn’t the era of the gods anymore. The Great Barrier was collapsing, and they had to escape it. They couldn’t wield the rules in the mortal world or exert the power of order as they used to. As the era of the transcendent approached its end, their abilities were worlds apart from what they had in the Great Barrier.

Demon Lord looked at Wang Xuan with complex emotions. The fact that she needed Wang Xuan’s rescue was quite unexpected. He wasn’t even a transcendent when they first met.

Wang Xuan spoke, “Friends, calm down. The era of mythology is coming to an end. We will all become slightly more powerful mortals. What’s the point of fighting to the death?”

He really didn’t want to engage with them if fights could be avoided. In his view, the fighting at the end of the mythological era was itself a matter of helplessness and sadness.

“Why should we listen to you? This woman has injured many of us and killed my good friend. How could we let her go? Even though the era of mythology is ending, the anger and hatred of the gods are not over!” a woman in the crowd spoke up.

These were all top-level beings, shining with divine light. Standing together, they still exerted a powerful pressure, illuminating the vastness of the universe.

“Alright, since you’re unwilling to stop, then I’ll accompany you!” Wang Xuan was straightforward. He wasn’t afraid of this group of people. In an instant, he rushed forward while wearing a Silver Beast Skin Scroll for defense and wielding the Godslaying Banner with both hands, sweeping through his enemy.

Some avoided, while others fought back aggressively.

In an instant, many weapons were destroyed as some coughed up blood and retreated. Wang Xuan was also hit by spells, but there were Runic Light Veils that covered his body and blocked the attack for him.

With a puff sound, under the shocked and regretful gaze of the woman, Wang Xuan broke her weapon with the large banner and cut through her protective light veil. She was split in half with blood splattering everywhere, and she died on the spot!

Then, he stopped again and said, “The fighting in the Great Barrier is inevitable, but this is the mortal world. The gods and undyings will become a thing of the past. You all need to think carefully. If you can’t let go of your hatred, then we’ll fight endlessly. But if you feel that there is no major grievance, then let’s part ways here and each strive to adapt to this era.”

Some people retreated. After all, what Wang Xuan said were harsh truths. In the future, as time passed, they might all become ordinary people. Was it still necessary to fight to the death? Especially considering that the young man in front of them was so strong, capable of slaying gods!

“In the end, only the transcendent have the qualifications to prolong their transcendence in pursuit of supreme treasures or to survive the darkest moments. But for us… is it really worth it? Let’s get out of here!”

Some turned and left, feeling endless regret in their hearts, but what else could they do? Could they still obtain the supreme treasures after being completely cut off from them?

“You’re too weak-willed. He’s just one person. How can he stop so many of us gods by himself?” someone shouted from behind.

“He’s a mortal in the mortal world, capable of opposing us. Do you think he’s just an ordinary person? He has probably entered the Twelfth Stage, a realm where no one has ever set foot!” someone else spoke up.

In an instant, some remained silent and quickly departed. Others stepped back, waiting for the end of the Peerless Transcendent Battle as they intended to join the victor’s side. Naturally, they hoped that the two ancestors of the Superlative Palace and the Imperial Palace of Gouchen could kill the Evil Dragon.

Among the gods that were retreating, Wang Xuan spotted the God of Light, the first god he had slain in the Land of the Undying, the son of the Demon Emperor Silver Roc and the Radiance Phoenix, who had fled from the Immortal Realm to the Land of the Undying in the past.

Even the main body of the God of Light escaped from the Great Barrier and simply departed without engaging in a decisive battle with Wang Xuan.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!　

Three consecutive divine arrows shot forth. In the distance, a group of people were drawing bows and shooting arrows. The man who had previously pierced the Demon Lord’s shoulder was also among the group, sitting astride a snow-white celestial horse.

Each person there was bloodstained, a top-level powerhouse exuding a strong aura of slaughter. The three arrows were terrifying, carrying residue of the power of the rules. These arrows wouldn’t stop until they drew blood, or they were shattered by powerful force.

Wang Xuan’s expression turned cold. He had said all that needed to be said. He couldn’t afford to be merciful this time. Without saying a word, he unfurled the banner and blocked the three divine arrows that streaked through the dark cosmos like lightning. Then, he targeted those few individuals and was prepared to confront five mighty gods by himself!

“Be careful. They’re not weak. Two of them are close to my level,” said Demon Lord Yan Yan, warning him. Although it was hard to swallow her pride, she had to admit that this guy was stronger than her in the mortal world!

“Everyone, we are gods, worshiped by the descendants of various Transcendent Stars. We were molded into golden bodies and enshrined in temples around the world. Are we going to be intimidated by a mere mortal kid from the mortal world? Are we going to retreat without a word and be embarrassed in our hometowns? Do we still deserve to enter the temples of the mortal world? Now, our believers may have captured footage of what’s happening here through spaceship. How can we be so feeble? We must demonstrate our divine power!”

These individuals were stirring up the hearts of the remaining gods, and indeed, some unwilling people stayed behind and stood with them.

“Attack!” shouted Wang Xuan. Disregarding their numbers and bathing in immortal light, he traversed the frigid cosmic void, and advanced towards them.

The arrows shot forth, one after another. Each arrow had the potential to lethally wound an expert at the Fourth Stage of Wanderer Realm, but Wang Xuan blocked them all.

“Die!”

As Wang Xuan charged forward, several people combined their strength and summoned an altar. This was an artifact of the Imperial Palace of Gouchen, containing the sealed power of a peerless transcendent’s true body.

At that moment, the entire area erupted with dazzling beams of light, like a star exploding violently, with unparalleled shockwaves.

However, after the storm passed, Wang Xuan stood firm in the distance with the banner in his hand. Aside from a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth and slightly disheveled hair, he was mostly unharmed.

“How is this possible?!” They were shocked. They had thought that they would surely kill this powerful and somewhat outrageous young man, but they hadn’t expected him to block their attack.

“The sealed power of a peerless transcendent’s true body is indeed strong, but ultimately it’s not his own personal power. It seems like the altar was nothing after it entered the real world,” Wang Xuan said, then attacked. This time, he showed no mercy, using the banner as a long knife and fully engaging in combat among the gods.

Plop!

A head flew up, and his spirit was strangled.

Then, the banner fluttered and wrapped around a person. The person was instantly crushed by the banner, enveloping them in a mist of blood.

With a loud rumble, Wang Xuan’s fist glowed, directly smashing an undying who was locked in his spiritual perception.

It was a terrifying battle, with the blood of gods flowing and the bodies of undyings being torn apart. It could be considered one of the bloody scenes at the end of the myth, recorded by someone.

In the distance, city-sized fortresses hovered, and there were spaceships escaping. The final scene that was captured was Wang Xuan bathed in divine blood, single-handedly killing this group of people.

“At the end of the myth, the nine greatest powerhouses perished. The famous Arrow God, Poison God, and God of Strength, as well as the peerless undyings of the Land of the Undying, all died, slaughtered by that person alone. The blood of gods and undyings dyed the cosmic void crimson…” The viewers’ voices trembled as they watched the footage captured by the spaceship.

At this moment, the flames of war raged, the Great Barrier decayed, and the treasures soared. The semi-material planes corresponding to them were on the verge of collapse. Meanwhile, in the outside world, as the gods departed, there were also terrifying battles wherever they went, with killing everywhere.

Fang Yuzhu fought against the ancient lunatic Shang Yi, and the two fought their way to the deepest part of the Great Barrier. The shadow couple pursued the Pool of Life, breaking out of the Great Barrier and entering the real universe. The Roaming Ark and the Ascension Banner collided repeatedly, entering the semi-material and semi-spiritual cosmic void, destroying planets and engaging in intense battles. On this day, many people’s cultivation levels plummeted violently. People were suspecting that the end of the transcendent era was today!

“You’re really strong now!” said Demon Lord as she couldn’t deny it while looking at Wang Xuan. There was genuine reluctance on her stunning face. She still wanted to beat him up a bit, but it seemed… there was no chance anymore.

“Sister Yan, you’re the one who’s a bit fragile. You’re not young anymore. Take care of yourself. Don’t play with swords in the future. Be a good urban girl.” Wang Xuan supported her with a smile.

Demon Lord Yanyan, who had been fighting since the end of ancient times until now, was about to unify the demon clan. She could command the wind and rain in the Immortal Realm, and with a snap of her fingers, she could shatter the stars. But as time passed, in this era, she was having trouble even lifting spaceships in the mortal world.

Now, hearing Wang Xuan’s words, she really couldn’t bear it anymore. Although she knew he was doing it on purpose, she still wanted to punch him!

Plop!

Just as Demon Lord was glaring at him with her beautiful eye and was about to pinch him with her slender glowing hand, Wang Xuan suddenly pulled out the arrow from her shoulder. He had just been deliberately teasing her to distract her.

“It’s okay. The so-called fatal god arrow, the residual divine rules, have been erased by me.” After Wang Xuan finished speaking, he said, “Let Qingyao protect you as you head back to the spaceship. I’ll go support Old Zhang and the main body of the Hades Blood Patriarch.”

Celestial Sword Maiden greeted, “Hey, big demoness, you have a nice figure. You have returned from the bloody mess, although you look a bit embarrassed, your figure still curves so gracefully. It’s so charming and enchanting. After the transcendence recedes, you’ll definitely be able to become a famous model.”

Demon Lord remained calm and said, “Do you know why I snatched your ancestor’s sword technique? Just like you, she was being conceited in front of me and was full of immortal aura. Do you… want the same treatment?”

“Haha, you’re bragging. You’re weak and feeble now, almost running out of transcendent material. Don’t remind me to snatch it back from you. Here, change your clothes.” said Celestial Sword Maiden. Then, she took out a pile of clothes from the fragment of the blessed land, including black silk, hollowed-out garments, and various types of clothing.

The point was that these were all originally Demon Lord’s clothes. They were both stubborn, and couldn’t settle down after meeting each other.

“You little brat…”

“Big demoness…”

In the distance, Old Zhang and the main body of Hades Blood Patriarch also felt strange as they looked at bloodstained Wang Xuan, moving among the gods. The two sighed.

“Myth… has really come to an end. In this world, we are not even as good as Little Wang!” said Hades Blood Patriarch.

“Don’t compare yourself to him. Little Wang is a freak. I suspect he’s in the late stages of the Thirteenth Stage now. He’s stepping into a realm none of us have ever entered!” replied Old Zhang.

“Twelfth Stage is already an unknown realm. He’s… in the Thirteenth Stage?!” exclaimed Hades Blood Patriarch.

The two were speechless. This young man, who had once needed their protection, had come this far in this special era. IT was beyond their expectations!

The group returned to the spaceship safely, with some surprises but no dangers. Even though all the gods had escaped, causing chaos everywhere, they had intentionally avoided this area.

A long time later, the Great Barrier continued to collapse until finally, the battle between Fang Yuzhu and the ancient lunatic Shang Yi ended, and Roaming Ark and Ascension Banner disappeared without a trace. There was no more movement, and the entire Land of the Undying fell silent.

The Peerless Transcendent Battle had come to a conclusion, the treasures were no longer trembling, the world fell silent, and everyone was nervous and fearful. Was everything over? No one knew if it was good or bad, they were all waiting anxiously for the victors to emerge.
