The Stars Beyond

Chapter 464: There’s No Way Of Losing

In the extinguished Great Barrier, more than a dozen dazzling figures illuminated the dim battlefield. Wang Xuan showed these people respect and gave it his all. Although he was at the Eleventh Stage, he was heavily injured. He couldn't afford to hold back. He had to take down these limit-breaking beings in a short amount of time. Outside the barrier, everyone was like clay figures that stared blankly. Then they started to breathe heavily as their spirits were extremely excited for the eleventh-stage limit breaker. However, they couldn't defeat him when they joined forces to besiege that person. Instead, they were blasted away.

"An Eleventh Stage impasse!" A patriarch from the Imperial Palace of Gouchen in the Land of the Undying spoke from outer space. His eyes were strange, it was filled with admiration and regret.

From the Land of the Divine, an elderly woman from the Superlative Palace spoke, "What a pity. Reaching the eleventh stage at this age. If the environment were better, he might have had the chance to advance to the Twelfth Stage."

A middle-aged man in modern clothing from the Technological Life Realm said, "Forget about it. There has never been a twelfth stage throughout history. That realm is desolate and has no records."

The guardian of order at this event, who seemed like a young woman, didn't agree. She said, "Not necessarily. Fang Yuzhu from the Land of Immortal is suspected to have broken through after her elemental nirvana. She might have broken through again. She's become completely unpredictable in recent years."

......

Wang Xuan repeatedly used heavy-handed tactics in the fourth extinguished great veil. He fought alone against eleven limit breakers with a tired and heavily injured body. It shocked everyone.

"The Song of Light and Darkness!" said a limit breaker. It was a creature that had no fixed form, just a mass of darkness. Its name was Wu Hai. It transformed into a black hole and swallowed Wang Xuan, enveloping his body.

"Attack!" It shouted to the others. During this process, an extremely brilliant light within the black hole. The light was like thunder, like the first ray of light at the source of civilization. It was exceptionally sacred and radiant, it burned within the black hole.

This method had once suppressed limit breakers of the same level. If it hadn't held back back then, it would have crushed the mechanical black Roc. But now, Wang Xuan's body only paused briefly and was not damaged amidst the alternation of light and darkness. He shook violently to display his Dharma body. He shook the ground as if he was opening up the heavens and earth. In the fluctuating space of light and darkness, it seemed as if a huge deity was expanding there. Others acted decisively. Some slashed in, some blasted in with precious artifacts, some roared with beastly shadows, and pounced in.

With a dong sound, the black hole-like darkness exploded. Wang Xuan staggered out, there seemed to be no change aside from his old injuries being shaken and his wounds bleeding. But Wu Hai had completely lost its combat power. When the darkness gathered again, it was extremely dim, so he could only retreat from the battlefield. Wang Xuan rushed forward with great strides. Supported by his spiritual eye, he constructed transcendent spells that belonged to the True Samadhi Fire technique. The three-colored flames flowed smoothly and were successfully executed.

Boom!

A fireball surged forward, overwhelming everything and engulfing the insectoid woman in front. She soared into the sky and was struggling violently, but her tough exoskeleton was still ignited. She was severely injured in the end. The second part of the golden bamboo slip was about the study of various transcendental spell techniques. Wang Xuan had executed the complete True Samadhi Fire technique for the first time.

"No wonder in ancient times, it was said that the fire was able to burn even demon saints when it was at its peak. Now, the effect is indeed powerful in its preliminary stages," Wang Xuan said with satisfaction.

The next moment, many feathers and scales manifested in trans material floated around him. Then, the image of Vermilion Bird and the virtual body of the True Dragon hovered here. As he moved his hands, the combined attack of the Dragon and the Bird was successfully executed. Finally, he also manifested the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise. He had formed the Four Symbols. In an instant, as if a canopy covered the area, the Four Symbols manifested and were overturning the heavens and the earth. With a thunderous crash, they pressed down and sent the limit breakers that were besieging him flying.

Coughing up blood and feeling his injuries worsen from the shock, he shook his head and said, "This technique still needs some refinement. Theoretically, it should be able to summon the True Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise to fight together."

"Kill!" The resolute will of the limit breakers persisted. They wouldn't easily admit defeat as long as they could still fight. The remaining people charged forward and each unleashed their strongest techniques.

Wang Xuan unleashed his full power and was going insane from the killing. Although his body had issues, his combat prowess was truly terrifying. He fought to his heart's content without holding back. Accompanied by the light of his fist, his spirit sword traversed the area and illuminated the extinguished Great Barrier. It sent the remaining people flying and piercing through their bodies.

In the end, all the participating limit breakers lay on the ground. Some had broken bones, some had their internal organs pierced, and some were nearly cut in half. The strong lay like corpses strewn about and there was blood everywhere. The only consolation was that Wang Xuan hadn't dealt the final blow. Everyone survived regardless of how severe their injuries were. Mainly because these people held the line at the critical moment. They did not use Zhao Qinghan, Qing Mu, and others to distract Wang Xuan which allowed his killing intent to dissipate.

The outer space was somewhat quiet. What else could people say? They stared at the scene and their hearts were filled with indescribable emotions, especially those powerful lineages that had cultivated tenth-stage beings in their palaces and laboratories. Everyone's hearts trembled as they saw the limit breakers lying battered on the ground. Of the four great transcendent civilizations, a total of sixteen limit breakers were present. Now, eleven of them that lay here were all pierced through and defeated by the strength of one man.

"This old man feels it was worth it to witness such a battle in the twilight of mythology. I will die in a few more months. Coming here this time was not in vain. It's exhilarating. This is a battle worthy of being recorded in the annals of cultivation!" Finally, voices of discussion gradually emanated from each of the spaceships in outer space.

The transcendent forces and organizations like the Imperial Palace of Gouchen, the Superlative Palace, and the Eternal Laboratory were also greatly shocked. They felt both amazed and regretful as they watched the figure stand alone in the field.

"I would have been willing to nurture him with the resources of the Superlative Palace if only it was a few decades earlier. It's too late now. I’ll just let everything be the final brilliant light at the end of the era," someone lamented.

"If I had another twenty years and if the tide of transcendence hadn't receded by then. I would fully assist him with the resources of the Superlative Palace and the various perfect evolution elixirs we researched ourselves. But now, it's a bit late!" another person said with regret. Some felt regretful, feeling that this was a difficult problem deliberately presented to them by the vast universe. It allowed them to see a promising talent, but ultimately it could only end in an imperfect conclusion. Each spaceship transmitted the news of the battles as it were to their respective transcendent homeworlds, causing a huge sensation and storm on that day.

One person single-handedly defeated eleven limit breakers. The battle made the transcendent stars of the present world unable to calm down as it was more legendary than the various classic battles recorded in mythology. Qing Mu, Zhao Qinghan, Wu Yin, and others knew that Wang Xuan was very strong. However, they were still astonished, with tumultuous waves surging in their hearts when the battle came to an end.

The Little Fox exclaimed excitedly, "Oh my, Wang is truly formidable! No wonder he stood out so much even when we were in the secret land. He can still shine brightly even in the depths of the universe!"

Transcendent Ma was also in a daze. It had a big enough heart and highly recognized Wang Xuan's status and extraordinariness, but now it seemed that it had underestimated him. It sighed, "I thought that Brother Wang would always encounter opponents who would push him to his limits, or even defeat him. But now, it seems that such a situation is difficult to satisfy. Seeking defeat is destined to be in vain!"

Finally, Wang Xuan disappeared from the battlefield and returned to the spaceship as the second round of trials ended.

This time, he was rewarded with six Creation True Crystals. The crystals each had different colors. They were brilliant and sacred, and were radiating dazzling light that was almost close to the truth.

"Such a thing exists......" Wang Xuan exclaimed. Initially, he could only obtain these crystals after he experienced a great battle in the Transcendent Sea outside the Space Bar. It was truly remarkable that the Immortal Land could actually bestow them as well.

"Old Qing, Qinghan, Wu Yin...... each of you gets one," said Wang Xuan while he distributed the six Creation True Crystals. Even the mechanical bear guarding the spaceship received one. He immediately did a somersault and shouted, "Dad Wang!"

Transcendent Ma was stunned for a moment, then said, "Holy cow, you have less shame than I do!"

Wang Xuan slapped the mechanical bear away and warned it to not make random noises. The bear acted cute, blinked its big eyes and nodded obediently. He was looking very well-behaved. Wang Xuan immediately tended to his injuries. He did not hesitate to swallow a piece of Heavenly Herb Leaf. Because he realized that the Land of the Undying was quite sinister. It had set its sights on him completely. He would inevitably face a test of life and death as soon as he participated.

"The third round of trials begins. The location is the Departed Land, the site of the most catastrophic ancient battles. Perhaps there are still remnants of that mythical era here, with all sorts of eerie creatures lurking. But they are no longer what they used to be, they’re like illusions waiting for you to experience," the announcement came. Once again, there was no rest time given to Wang Xuan before the teleportation began.

The Departed Land was vast and it was emitting wisps of black smoke. There were not only various illusions and lingering spirits but also spiritual creatures, some strong and some weak. These posed no difficulty for Wang Xuan. He slashed through them like cutting vegetables and crossed the Departed Land until he encountered the book once again.

"You've appeared again. This time it shouldn't concern you, right? You're not planning to tell me stories again and correct me, are you?" asked Wang Xuan. He had no good impression of it. He resented its manipulation of emotions and interference in others' choices for the future.

The Book of Ages spoke, "Your strength does not allow me to remain indifferent. Only when I appear can I provide you with opponents of the corresponding level. Otherwise, your current state will make it difficult to seek defeat. Only enemies with extraordinary foundations can stimulate your potential better. Only they can allow you to continue on the path of the new transcendence."

"Is someone instructing you to do this?" Wang Xuan asked.

The Book of Ages replied, "Perhaps someone hopes I would, but no one can command me. This is my own decision. You have exceptional talent, and I hope you make a perfect choice. It's best to abandon those who affect your state of mind early on. In this life, the new mythology is your ultimate and best choice. Everything else is illusory."

Initially indifferent to it, Wang Xuan changed his attitude after some thought, keeping himself calm as he spoke, "You want to tell me stories and temper me again? Well, that's fine, but let's change the location. I don't want to be monitored, my battle scenes are exposed to everyone. Can you find a place that is isolated from the outside world and relatively quiet?"

"Sure, follow me!" The Book of Ages gave an affirmative response.

Wang Xuan immediately became spirited. He was determined to reverse the roles and correct it instead. He decided that he would smash it to death with the lid of the Life Essence Furnace if it turned out to be an Old Testament artifact. If not, he would tear the book apart!
