The Elysium Across Deep Space - Chapter 525: Hell

In the Cloud Sea Mountain Range of the New World, everyone was astonished. The great battle in deep space had reached this stage, where even the peerless transcendents that wielded treasures might fall in combat!

This exceeded everyone’s expectations. Originally, they thought Wang Xuan would certainly be in trouble, but in the end, even Qi Tian himself was in trouble.

“Shang Yi!” shouted the shadow couple as they turned around, glaring at the Sword Lunatic. Without his two supreme sword lights, Wang Xuan and Jiang Qingyao might have won.

At the very least, if the two hadn’t been severely injured by those sword lights, their condition would have been much better.

“This is my agreement with Qi Tian. I did indeed use my sword. So what?” said Shang Yi. He was tall and vigorous, very imposing when wielding the Sword of Mortal. He didn’t care at all.

Buzz!　

The Immortal Umbrella trembled, and the shadow couple didn’t back down. They were about to make a move when the supreme treasures in their hands resonated, causing the mirror light that reflected scenes from the depths of the universe to blur instantly.

The Sword Lunatic was extremely domineering, taking the initiative to attack and swinging the Sword of Mortal in an instant. It was acting according to his will, slashing towards the couple with incredible force.

Dang!

Fang Yuzhu struck, the Celestial Bracelet locking onto the Sword of Mortal, causing fragments of rules to scatter, and the supreme pressure was overwhelming.

In front of her, there was a forest of Divine Ascension Bamboo, with golden bamboo leaves rustling and golden droplets falling, currently saving Jiang Siyuan.

Although she needed to recite the Guiding Scripture, she was also keeping an eye on the Sword Lunatic and acted at the first opportunity. Only she had the chance to slay him.

Although the shadow couple were strong, they could only contend with Shang Yi at best. If the fight dragged on, they would be lucky to maintain their unbeaten record. And Fang Yuzhu had only recently attained supreme strength after another grand Nirvana of her spirit.

The Celestial Bracelet shook violently, and was about to retrieve the Sword of Mortal. Naturally, the Shadow Couple had to act. Because Fang Yuzhu was busy saving someone else, they feared she might get distracted and get into trouble. Their Immortal Umbrella instantly thundered down.

The light it emitted spread out, leveling the distant mountain peaks. The mountain peaks exploded, rocks cascaded from the sky, creating a terrifying scene.

Facing two supreme treasures and three peerless transcendents, the Sword Lunatic didn’t recklessly confront them head-on. He reached out his right hand towards Qi Tian, intending to temporarily avoid the attack.

However, this time, the Immortal Umbrella emitted light that solidified the space, turning the area into a prison. Orderly chains interwoven like galaxies, preemptively trapping Qi Tian and bringing him over.

Qi Tian remained calm and said, “Killing me won’t help you. Although I am in my true form, I have very few Dao accumulations left. I’m just the product of the revival of my old flesh after my spiritual foundation was restored. The Dao Fruits are on my new body. Moreover, you need me to provide coordinates to take you there. Otherwise, if Wang Xuan loses his spiritual essence after losing his flesh and spirit, not treating him promptly could really result in his death.”

“Give us the coordinates and take us there immediately!” shouted the woman of the shadow couple, demanding the coordinates from Qi Tian. Since they knew Wang Xuan was still safe, they harbored hope, and were eager to rush to the scene immediately.

“Alright, but the journey is very long. Both of you need to be patient,” said Qi Tian as he nodded, not resisting leading the way. Everyone boarded the spaceship to head to the scene.

“Everyone, refrain from fighting on the spaceship. Even though it’s a transcendent vessel, it’s still vulnerable to being shattered by you. Although you can travel with the help of treasures, it’s still inconvenient,” said the ancestor of the Imperial Palace of Gouchen, reminding them.

“Let’s resonate with the six treasures again. I believe everyone is more concerned about the final outcome of that battle,” a voice sounded from the Pool of Life. The mirror light reappeared, reflecting the scene there.

Wang Xuan staggered, but still intended to fight the Evil Dragon!

“Hehe…” Qi Tian sneered, abandoning his exiled immortal demeanor. Covered in bloodstains, even his hair was damp with blood, dripping. The force field he emitted distorted time and space. It was sharp and intimidating.

He felt that he had been dormant for too long and had lost some of his sharpness and bravery. Now, even his prey looked down on him. Do they still want to fight him?

“What do you have to fight with when you’re almost done for?” Qi Tian muttered to himself. He shook the Ascension Banner to cover himself with myriad rosy lights and fragments of rules.

An Earth Immortal can merge with the rules. Even if their bodies are torn apart and their internal organs shredded, they can quickly recover.

His current condition was terrible. He had injuries in his abdomen, chest, and limbs. Many places were pierced through, and his beating heart could be seen.

Even his throat had been cut open by the Purple Celestial Dao Sword, and even his forehead had been hit by the sword light, breaking into several pieces. But despite such serious injuries, after being merged with the rosy light, his wounds were rapidly healing.

“In this special era, after returning to the real world, I am an Earth Immortal. With a little rest, I can recover to a perfect state and kill you again with the strongest physique,” he said calmly.

In the distance, in the spaceship, the expressions of the shadow couple and Fang Yuzhu changed slightly. They were Earth Immortals in the real world and knew that he wasn’t lying. This was a very serious problem. However, soon, their eyebrows unfurled again.

In the depths of the universe, Wang Xuan muttered indistinctly, not caring about the other’s confident attitude at all. He held the furnace body on guard, and was glowing all over.

“Hmm?” Qi Tian quickly understood. His spirit traversed space and smelled a faint fragrance. It was the scent of Heavenly Herb!

“Although you can merge with the rules, your Patriarch Wang also have means of recovery. While there might be other things he lacks, Heavenly Herb isn’t one of them!” Wang Xuan spoke up.

Since he had been exposed, he didn’t bother hiding it anymore. He began to chew and swallow voraciously. His body was radiating light, while his flesh wounds contracted.

Over the past few days, he had been shuttling back and forth between the Solitary Void and the Life Soil. Besides planting herbs and digging meteorites, he also harvested Heavenly Herb leaves. For each variety that sprouted, he collected them all.

As the transcendent world was coming to an end, no one knew what would happen to these Heavenly Herbs. He was prepared to replenish himself in the final stages and guard against the Evil Dragon’s sudden attack. He could heal himself if there were any accidents. Now, it has indeed come in handy!

Not far away, Jiang Qingyao also stopped concealing and openly consumed Heavenly Herb. Glowing light flowed from her mouth, nourishing her flesh and spirit.

“Heavenly Herbs are severely suppressed in this era. Can you recover as fast as me?” asked Qi Tian as he approached, preparing to take action. Covered by the rosy light of the rules, his blood and spirit recovered and improved rapidly.

“Why don’t you try and test it out by yourself?” Wang Xuan said, swallowing down a large amount of Heavenly Herb leaves in one go. When he was about to finish, he took out a teacup and drank a large sip of pre-brewed immortal tea. Then, his cracked lips moistened and the tea left a lingering fragrance in his mouth.

This was intolerable! Qi Tian’s eyes were cold.

Who was he trying to show?

On the battlefield, no one had ever dared to disrespect him.

Three thousand five hundred years ago, he emerged into the world, unstoppable. He had never encountered an opponent that was on par with him. Even when all the emperors joined forces to kill him, they paid a terrible price.

Wang Xuan didn’t think much about it. He wasn’t deliberately provoking him, he just wanted to soothe his throat during this tense and brutal final battle because he was indeed very tired at that moment.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Herb was taking effect. He strode forward with the furnace body and lid, crossing the universe and actively approaching his opponent.

“Do you dare to put down the treasures and fight to the death with me barehanded?!” Wang Xuan asked. His demeanor was completely different, not the slightest smile could be seen, only killing intent soaring.

Qi Tian glanced at him and Jiang Qingyao, then coldly smirked, and said nothing. He believed that if he dared to put down the treasures, Jiang Qingyao would pick them up without him knowing.

As Wang Xuan approached, there was bound to be entanglement once he engaged in a life-and-death battle with him. Some techniques could be used opportunistically, such as the runes engraved in him by Old Zhang and the Hades Blood Patriarch.

He had once used it to sneak into the Immortal Realm and took the opportunity to kill Zheng Yuantian, who had been severely injured and suppressed by the Old Covenant.

Now, with the nourishment of treasures, those runes should be able to display immense power again. However, Qi Tian merged with the Ascension Banner. Wang Xuan needed to find the right opportunity.

“Come!” shouted Qi Tian. He pointed at Wang Xuan with the Ascension Banner in one hand, while strands of rule fragments appeared at his fingertips in the other. He was extremely confident and indifferent when facing Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan’s heart stirred.

Was he trying to awaken his past courage?

Qi Tian’s merge with the Ascension Banner was not good enough that he had to point at Wang Xuan from a distance like that.

Was he being given a chance right away? Without hesitation, Wang Xuan’s body erupted with dazzling light. Using the treasure, he traversed the void, teleporting instantly. With a bang, he used the Life Essence Furnace to snatch the Ascension Banner.

The furnace mouth glowed, directly swallowing more than half of the long banner. With his other hand holding the lid, he smashed it toward Qi Tian’s face.

Qi Tian’s face and head would burst open without doubt if he was hit. Even his spirit would be killed instantly by the treasure’s lid.

Qi Tian remained extremely calm and composed, vigorously shaking the Ascension Banner to try to pull it out of the furnace, while swiftly avoiding the lid as he was unable to confront it head-on.

Swoosh, Swoosh, Swoosh!　　

Within Wang Xuan’s body, three different colored lights bloomed, representing the runes of Demon Lord, Old Zhang, and the Hades Blood Patriarch, respectively. They were activated and instantly shot out. Enhanced by the treasure, they struck towards the nearby Qi Tian.

“Heh!” Qi Tian sneered. In this realm, he was the ceiling and he was unstoppable. He was borrowing the power of the rules, displaying his techniques, and resisting the three different peerless secrets. As expected, he broke through the methods left by the three great experts.

“Old Zhang, Demon Lord, Hades Blood Patriarch, although the imprints you left behind have been activated, they cannot harm the Evil Dragon.” This was Wang Xuan’s fleeting thought.

Indeed, these three were not peerless transcendents and naturally couldn’t harm Qi Tian. Even in the real world, their strength was not as strong as Wang Xuan’s.

Boom!　

However, when the runes left by Fang Yuzhu bloomed, it was earth-shattering, completely different. Enhanced by the treasure’s rules, its divine might was unmatched. This change took Qi Tian by surprise. He never expected Wang Xuan to suddenly burst out with such incomparable techniques. It was terrifying to him.

In a trance, he saw Fang Yuzhu, hazy yet powerful, standing above the Nine Heavens, and with a turn of her hand, she slapped down! In fact, this kind of momentum exceeded Wang Xuan’s expectations. In his view, the final means left by Fang Yuzhu could at most slightly suppress the Evil Dragon, but not seriously injure him.

Because when Fang Yuzhu left her mark, she hadn’t obtained the treasure, the Celestial Bracelet. She just engraved her own methods. Unlike Sword Lunatic, who left his mark with the Sword of Mortal, the erupting sword light was naturally unparalleled and difficult to contend with.

However, what was seen before the eyes proved that the divine abilities left by Fang Yuzhu were indeed remarkable. After those runes were activated, they were comparable to her full-powered attack.

Qi Tian, holding the Ascension Banner with one hand, was severely injured, engulfed by the dazzling light. The faint shadow struck an unmatched blow, chilling the heart.

Qi Tian’s body shook violently. He was covered in cracks, bathing in crimson blood. He was on the verge of bursting open. He roared angrily, holding the Ascension Banner in one hand, teleporting away with the treasure.

His body was almost exploding, his internal organs were shattered, and he was truly heavily injured. He roared and shouted, “Fang Yuzhu!”

He saw the figure gradually dissipating in the dazzling light. He wouldn’t mistake it. That was the technique of the strongest, on par with Sword Lunatic!

Wang Xuan had once squandered the marks left by Old Zhang and Fang Yuzhu, among others. At that time, he felt that Fang Yuzhu’s mark seemed different so he reserved it until the end but he didn’t expect it to be so powerful!

Now there was no time for him to think. He went straight for the kill, seizing the opportunity while the Evil Dragon was weakened!

Qi Tian’s situation was somewhat severe. His internal organs were shattered, his spirit was cracked, and he was seriously injured. At the critical moment, he was genuinely shocked, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

At the critical moment of life and death, he had no choice but to use one of his trump cards. With a loud rumble, a black blaze surged, like the flames of hell returning to the world!

A huge black phoenix, terrifying and mighty like a giant mountain, pressed down on this cosmic void, sheltering him. Then the black feathers burned, turning into boundless light.

The fire enveloped the area, like the burning of a mountain-like hell phoenix. It was like nirvana. All the dark light entered Qi Tian’s body in an instant.

He had recovered. His internal organs radiated vitality, his spirit healed and was almost restored to its original state. But his complexion was so dark it seemed like water could drip from it.

This was a life-saving method at a critical moment, a means to turn the tide, but it was unexpectedly consumed in advance. Originally, the Nirvana Art of the Hell Phoenix could instantly restore him to his peak. He couldn’t use it again for a short period of time. He could only use it once or twice within a month.

In the distance, inside the spaceship, the shadow couple looked at Fang Yuzhu. They were sincerely grateful. This was equivalent to removing an extra life from the opponent in the opening phase.

Otherwise, if Qi Tian suddenly revived in desperation during the final stage of the battle, when both sides were exhausted, there was a chance he might counter-kill Wang Xuan, making it almost impossible to guard against.

“Very thoughtful!” The shadow couple said. They understood that the mark Fang Yuzhu left in advance was definitely the epitome of the highest divine technique. Generally, such principles absolutely couldn’t be easily left in someone else’s body. If one was careless, it could be analyzed by outsiders which would reveal her cultivation secrets.

In the spaceship, even though the body of Qi Tian here wasn’t on the battlefield, his expression turned cold and dark. This situation made him almost vomit blood.

“Something’s not right. If I remember correctly, you died under the Nirvana Art of the Hell Phoenix back then. The you of the past was very averse to this kind of dark divine technique. Yet today, you are practicing the Hell Phoenix Technique, this forbidden scripture,” the man among the shadow couple spoke, showing a puzzled expression.

“People change. My path to resurrection traversed the entire hell. Naturally, I no longer reject them,” Qi Tian said with an expressionless face.

“Kill!” In the cosmic battlefield, Wang Xuan and Qi Tian, both holding treasures, were emitting the light of rules. Terrifying energy covered the sky and earth. The two of them attacked at the same time!
