The Stars Beyond

Chapter 527: Kill It

The sensation of tearing, the overwhelming feeling of power, made his body tremble. Though painful, it brought a sense of achievement as his Dao cultivation surged!

Wang Xuan was covered in blood, with cracks running across his body, as if a completely new self was about to emerge. Firmly grasping the lid and body of the furnace, he stared at the Evil Dragon with his deep eyes.

Qi Tian's expression changed slightly, then he suddenly rushed forward, shouting, "What are you doing? Stop it, everything you have is mine!"

He speculated that Wang Xuan was burning his potential, squeezing the limits of flesh, spirit, and inner landscape. This made him unable to sit still as those were his target.

If Wang Xuan were to squander everything now, it would all be for naught. He didn't want a decaying shell. He worried that after the battle, Wang Xuan would be completely drained, with nothing left.

Wang Xuan naturally wouldn't explain to him. He had a new spirit, new flesh and a new inner landscape. It was just an early emergence.

"Stop my ass!" shouted Wang Xuan as he disappeared from the spot with a single step. He was enduring the intense pain and traversing the void. In an instant, he reappeared before the Evil Dragon.

With a deafening roar, without any pretense, he wielded the furnace and rained down blows on him directly. He had been pushed to his limit by the Evil Dragon time and time again, and he had had enough.

If not for the fact that the opponent possessed an Earth Immortal Dao that was insurmountable, he wouldn't have resorted to early self-sacrifice, allowing the three light spots to emerge prematurely.

Now, consumed by fury, for himself and for those around him, he was determined to take down the Evil Dragon here and now. He was determined to crush it with his own strength.

"I... will kill you!" Qi Tian wanted to say something, but in the end, only endless killing intent erupted from him as he wielded the Ascension Banner to meet the challenge.

With a resounding boom, the cosmos trembled. The collision between treasures was unprecedented, causing the space there to rupture into endless black cracks, spreading into the distance.

The Great Barrier, the Transcendent World, and all places resonating with the remnants of rules felt it. With a resounding boom, it was like a hurricane, like a landslide roaring past. It was incredibly sudden and terrifying.

Clang!

Wang Xuan's soft flesh between his ten fingers was torn open. Fresh blood flowed out, but he still held nothing back, vigorously wielding his treasure.

At that moment, Qi Tian's face turned pale. Repeatedly forced into a defensive stance, he coughed up blood heavily and suffered severe injuries. Cracks appeared in the bones of his arms.

What was going on?

He could hardly believe it. His opponent's strength had soared significantly, he was catching up to him!

In an instant, the furnace emitted light, but the mouth of the furnace dimmed instead. It was like a black hole, sucking in Qi Tian's Ascension Banner, trying to pull it in.

How could he let go? Clutching the treasure tightly, he fought with all his might, finally tearing open the light veil and escaping. However, the furnace lid was like a meteor, it streaked across the cosmic void and came crashing down.

Qi Tian wanted to seize it, but the terrifying force and speed after the activation of the furnace lid were too much. It was about to reach him, but he couldn't catch it at all.

He was forced to block with the Ascension Banner, but was hit with a bang. The bones all over his body crackled, and blood poured from his nose and mouth.

Meanwhile, Wang Xuan, holding the furnace body, teleported and attacked again. He was seemingly going crazy, relentlessly increasing his strength, wishing to ignite himself, and relentlessly battling the Evil Dragon regardless of the cost.

"My body, my spirit, my inner landscape are yours? Who do you think you are!" shouted Wang Xuan. The furnace body in Wang Xuan's right hand crashed down.

At the same time, he also controlled the lid, using his mental light to wield it like a flying sword, ferociously attacking Qi Tian.

The furnace body was too heavy, it smashed the Ascension Banner's pole until Qi Tian was knocked away, and only then did the Ascension Banner recover.

Qi Tian's face turned deathly pale, his arms spasming and his bones were cracking. He constantly coughed up blood, his internal organs torn apart and his whole body was in agony.

As he flew far away, he staggered and was unable to stand firm. He was facing unprecedented pressure and murderous intent was sweeping over from the opposite side. Wang Xuan was pursuing him!

Even with the light veil formed by the Ascension Banner protecting him, he still suffered heavy injuries. Both sides were wielding powerful treasures to attack each other, effectively canceling each other out. At that moment, secret forces kept penetrating, causing his chest to explode with blood spraying everywhere.

Qi Tian was filled with shock and anger.

Did the prey go mad? How much potential and foundation did he consume to reach the level comparable to an Earth Immortal?

"You go to hell! You want to preserve your life, but you've already squandered the special foundation of my predetermined inner landscape!" shouted Qi Tian. He erupted, his killing intent surged and actively charged forward.

Wang Xuan's eyes were cold. He didn't even want to comment on the Evil Dragon. Qi Tian was focused on seizing everything from him, yet he was blaming him now. The only way was to defeat the Evil Dragon there!

He had not yet entered the Wanderer level. As a newcomer to the real world, if he could defeat the Evil Dragon at the Earth Immortal level, it would undoubtedly be a severe blow to him. It was ridiculous to trample on his so-called pursuit of a new myth.

"The Hell Lock Heaven Diagram!" shouted Qi Tian. He unleashed a forbidden secret technique, empowered by ancient curses. His body and words merged as one, manipulating the Ascension Banner. Such a forbidden technique consumed his own foundation, somewhat damaging his roots. He would never use these techniques under normal circumstances.

With him as the center, scenes of hell emerged, and black order divine chains burst forth, rushing in all directions, constructing a vast net to connect heaven and earth. The chains reached everywhere, trapping the universe!

One could vaguely see, in the sky, it seemed as if an immortal court appeared and was binded by the spreading black order divine chains. Not to mention the living beings within the net, the black order divine chains were like spears, flying at high speed, intending to pierce through Wang Xuan.

Clang! Clang!　

Terrifying collision sounds rang out. One black order divine chain after another struck the Life Essence Furnace, crashing onto the furnace lid. If hit, flesh and blood would inevitably tear, and bones would fracture.

Wang Xuan fought back with all his might, but there were countless black chains around him that connected to the illusory immortal court in the sky. This phenomenon of heaven and earth was extremely terrifying, even the heavens were being trapped by the Hell Lock, it was indeed causing him trouble. If he was a bit slower, pieces of his flesh would be torn away.

Eventually, Qi Tian stood within the hellish scene. Surrounded by rolling black smoke, he transformed into a giant black spider. It was immensely huge, exuding a primordial chaotic aura, constantly spewing web, locking down heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, Wang Xuan seemed to have turned into an insect within the giant web, and was chased by the black order chains.

Wang Xuan's eyes were as sharp as blades. He remained calm while being trapped, his killing intent surging.

His body cracked, and the three light spots entered the mortal realm. The intense pain continued unabated, causing tremors throughout his body. However, his spiritual sense increased infinitely. After brewing for a long time, he finally triggered a spiritual sensation!

This was a path he had pondered and attempted to come up with when advancing to the Twelfth Stage, in order to subdue his various avatars. The feeling of the inner landscape was brought into the real world.

At that moment, his spiritual sense soared at a speed many times faster than before, but the duration of it was very short, not even lasting a second.

However, he seemed to stand in a realm beyond himself at that moment, with his physical body following suit, also in a realm beyond the divine.

The place where he stood exploded, as he was moving too fast. Holding the Life Essence Furnace, he disappeared in a flash. Then, he appeared within the hellish scene, standing above the massive black spider and was fiercely attacking it.

Although the time was limited, especially this time, which was far less than a second, the attack was still deadly because of the advancement of his realm. It seemed even the heavens and earth were limiting this special state.

In an instant, Wang Xuan attacked countless times, fiercely beating the massive chaotic black spider that was emitting chaos aura. He was attacking it with unparalleled power.

In the dazzling light, Qi Tian's body trembled violently. The hellish scene he evolved began to collapse. The head of the black giant spider was immediately smashed, splattering its juice everywhere. Then, its massive body disintegrated, turning into minced meat, scattering everywhere.

Boom!　

After these hellish scenes and creatures collapsed, it was Qi Tian's turn to be violently flung, leaving him somewhat bewildered and confused.

How could his opponent go crazy like this? His combat power surged, and he couldn't resist it. The impact even affected his main body, causing his bones to fracture.

Bang!　

His body was thrown sideways, but Wang Xuan quickly caught up and stomped down his foot. Followed by the furnace lid descending like a heavy flying sword, crashing down.

Even with treasures in hand and the Ascension Banner releasing boundless light for protection, he was still going to be blown up.

Wang Xuan chased him. Although the spiritual sensation lasted less than a second, at their level, in the realm of Earth Immortals, it was still considered a long time. It was enough to do many things.

"You're really tough!" said Wang Xuan. He was a bit anxious, his spiritual sense fluctuating as he continued to attack.

The Evil Dragon was shocked and furious at the same time. He was in intense pain, as if he were an old rag being relentlessly beaten. Secret forces penetrated through the protection of the treasure's light veil, breaking dozens of his bones. He was thrown sideways, then caught up to, and then struck again!

"I..." With a muffled sound, part of his chest was blown apart, and his heart was torn, with half of it dropping out.

It could only be said that Qi Tian at the level of Earth Immortals was really too powerful and extraordinarily resilient. Even though he was heavily injured and his body was in tatters, he still survived, enduring the time period above his opponent's spiritual sensation.

He gasped heavily and swallowed the colorful transcendent material. It was a very high-level energy from the higher spiritual realm.

At the same time, he kept flying away constantly, as he needed to create distance from Wang Xuan first. He took out a large herb and swallowed it directly.

At his level, there were few opponents even in the Immortal Realm. He was a true peerless transcendent and had naturally picked some Heavenly Herbs. He would die if he didn't swallow it now.

"Even if you swallow it, I'll make you spit it out!" shouted Wang Xuan, threatening with a roar, truly making the Evil Dragon tremble in fear. The prey had turned into the hunter and was now hunting him down.

Wang Xuan chased after him, closing the distance, then acted decisively. Endless spells erupted, and runes of order flooded forward. Then, he manipulated the furnace lid and slashed at him fiercely. With his other hand wielding the furnace body, he forcefully struck the dragon's body!

After a round of fighting, Qi Tian coughed up blood, and most of his bones were broken. It was naturally severely affecting his condition. But he still showed no fear, his eyes were still icy.

"Restart the Yao Pool Grand Event, where ten thousand immortals gather!" he shouted. It must be said that he had too many methods, all of them extraordinary secrets. He was reciting ancient spells, evolving amazing scenes to suppress his opponents.

Above the Nine Heavens, a magnificent peach garden that was vast and boundless appeared, with white mist rising. Peach blossoms bloomed everywhere, filling the air with fragrance, and sparkling petals fell, dancing in the sky.

There, celestial maidens danced, and numerous immortals gathered to attend the event, all of them eminent predecessors, all great masters of supernatural powers. The gathering of ten thousand immortals showcased the grandeur of the Nine Heavens.

"With all immortals by my side, at the Yao Pool Grand Event, once every thousand years, I borrow my greatness!" Qi Tian whispered ancient words, as if connecting to the higher spiritual realm. He was borrowing scenes carved from the ancient times, and supreme power.

Countless celestial shadows flew towards him, all manifestations of rules, enhancing his strength, and serving him.

Wang Xuan naturally approached at high speed, hoping to interrupt this process. He couldn't help but sigh. Qi Tian had lived for over three thousand years, ranking at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm. He had mastered too many forbidden secrets. He continuously displayed various supernatural abilities, each different from the last.

Some supreme secret methods Wang Xuan had also studied, and he had obtained a large number of scriptures, but he hadn't had time to practice them yet. And some were ancient methods he had never even heard of.

"Hmm!?" As he chased after him, amidst the intense pain, he felt his power still slowly increasing, and the three light spots were nearing their peak state.

Moreover, he had a feeling that as he approached perfection, he could still trigger something beyond spiritual sensation. Realizing this, he went all out and was constantly trying!

"Here we go again!" said Wang Xuan, his eyes gleamed with determination. He succeeded once again. At that moment, he didn't care about Qi Tian's supreme secrets. Let him display a thousand supernatural abilities and ten thousand methods, he would just smash it!

The Life Essence Furnace was activated, and the immortal light surged. He controlled the furnace lid and wielded the heavy furnace body as he slammed down.

"You... bastard!" said Qi Tian. How could he ever say such words? But now he was anxious, as Wang Xuan used the same move again, he couldn't help but curse. Ignoring him, Wang Xuan went all out to smash him!
