The Elysium Across Deep Space

The brilliant light extinguished in an instant, and the whole world fell silent. Wang Xuan stood alone there without movement, gazing into the endless darkness.　　

At that moment, he clearly saw hope. She had regained her peak state, with her white hair receding and wrinkles smoothed, only to freeze in place at the critical moment. With firm determination, she had exerted all her strength to take the final step, only to end up exploding, shattered into pieces, forever silent.　　

Wang Xuan felt a lump in his heart. At that moment, she struggled to turn around and look back at him. What did she want to say to Wang Xuan? She was too far, and he couldn't sense that kind of spiritual fluctuation.　　

Until her death, what race she was, what era she came from, which life planet she originated from, would remain unknown. Wang Xuan turned around and left quickly. He left behind no words, only firmly remembering that final scene.　　

The white-haired woman was a determined seeker, with a strong will. As she died, that glimmer mixed with crimson blood froze in that moment. Wang Xuan knew that even after many years had passed, he would never forget this day. Sooner or later, he too would tread a similar path.　　

Behind him, the black flames raged, engulfing the entire land, erasing all traces left by the woman.　　

On Lost Dao Cliff, Wang Xuan remained silent, wielding the Purple Celestial Dao Sword in his right hand and holding the furnace lid in his left. He fought fiercely against various creatures, sustaining many wounds as he fought his way through.　　

On the journey back, he remained silent. He was deeply immersed in battle, facing various inexplicable creatures. But his belief in himself only grew stronger.　　

Perhaps this era would no longer allow the emergence of transcendence. The vast universe corrected the trajectory of the temporal deviation, returning everything to normal.　　

But still, he had to continue. In this age where myths were no longer possible, he would explore transcendence alone. He was determined to carve out his own path. Even if there were no companions in the future, he would move forward nonetheless. Because of this woman's actions, he was deeply inspired, his heart touched.　　

The silent black wind blew in, and all kinds of creatures on this path that were from the distorted time and space vanished, shattered into smoke and dust. The broken treasure in Wang Xuan's hand emitted light, resisting the black wind. With firm steps, he crossed the deathly ground.　　

He left the final dangerous section and entered the vast void of the universe. Every few steps, there was a blood stained fragment of a meteorite, burning, illuminating his way home. This was the blood path paved by the woman and several others, and it was reignited by her today. It was still able to burn for half a day.　　

Wang Xuan was covered in wounds, some he got from the Lost Dao Cliff, others from his earlier battles with Qi Tian and Shang Yi. These wounds would be troublesome after the disappearance of myths.　　

Fortunately, the fragments of meteorite on this path still emitted light, retaining the last traces of transcendent radiation. As he hurried along, he also had time to heal. In less than half a day, Wang Xuan returned ahead of schedule.　　

He passed through the twisted space and entered the space radiated by the fire pit. There were still lingering flames there, reflecting the blood-covered body of Celestial Sword Maiden on the blue stone.　　

The mechanical bear stood motionless, protecting Jiang Qingyao. The transcendent radiation made it slightly more agile, but the change was not significant. It had degraded severely now.　　

"The bear… is very worried," it expressed mechanically. Wang Xuan nodded, temporarily powerless to change its current state.　　

Jiang Qingyao's condition had improved a lot. There was a strong vitality in her body, broken bones were reconnected, twisted organs had reformed, and even her spirit was healing. Most importantly, the crack in her origin was shrinking, and the collapsed Life Soil was being sorted out.　　

Wang Xuan watched quietly. Time was running out. With the death of the white-haired woman, the path of meteorite fragments and the firelight here were about to extinguish.　　

He opened the gourd and the fragment of the Blessed Land, took out some things, wrapped them in a dim robe, and carried them on his back. After leaving here, all spatial containers could not be opened. He took out the essential items. As for various miscellaneous items, they were sealed inside regardless of their importance.　　

Three quarters of an hour later, the flame died down with smoke lingering. Wang Xuan did not leave immediately but remained here, waiting for the faint radiation from the dying embers to dissipate completely.　　

Two days later, the residuals of the fire pit dwindled to less than the size of a faceplate, and the radiated space gradually disappeared, with a radius of less than two meters left. Wang Xuan sighed lightly, picking up Jiang Qingyao and leaving the bottle world, completely sealing the lid.　　

"Will she survive?" the mechanical bear asked stiffly.　　

"I don't know," replied Wang Xuan, frowning and looking at the motionless Celestial Sword Maiden. Although she had regained vitality, the hidden dangers left by the transcendence had not been completely eliminated.　　

Now she was just maintaining a state of balance, not deteriorating further, but also not improving. It was calm and silent.　　

Wang Xuan drew the Purple Celestial Dao Sword, the sparkling blade reflecting his face. Now, only the Life Essence Furnace could save her. He wanted to hunt down Shang Yi! But how could he confront an opponent who was even more powerful than an Earth Immortal?　　

"What about the three men and two women chasing him? Have they severely injured him?" he muttered. This might be the only chance.　　

He assessed his own condition. The final transcendent radiation had actually improved his condition. Apart from some minor bone fractures, he was more or less unscathed. As time passed, he would recover completely.　　

"Let’s turn around and go find Shang Yi!" Wang Xuan thought, even if those beings that had rushed out from the back of his inner landscape were in poor condition and close to death, they could probably still severely injure the Sword Lunatic.　　

The mechanical bear looked blank and said, "Oh, are you going to die for love?"　　

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm going hunting!" said Wang Xuan, correcting the bear.　　

The mechanical bear said, "The spaceship has been in automatic long-distance navigation mode for the past two days. I’ve received a lot of information, everyone is looking for you."　　

……

For three days and two nights, the outside world was turned upside down. Many transcendents died in large numbers. It was far more terrifying than people had previously estimated, and many people’s level kept falling.　　

Fang Yuzhu pursued Shang Yi, shaking many star domains. The shadow couple went crazy, trying to rescue Wang Xuan but couldn't find him. They then went after another body of Shang Yi, causing explosions everywhere.　　

"They've gone mad, killing recklessly. They're besieging the evil spirits and killing those who plotted against Wang Xuan." The news spread like a storm sweeping across the land. People didn't know if the shadow couple and others had caught up with Shang Yi, but they heard that they were constantly taking action.　　

"Wang Xuan is dead?" Many people were shocked. They had all heard his name. Several days ago, he battled the peerless transcendent Qi Tian and successfully killed the evil spirit, causing a huge sensation.　　

Moreover, his earlier battles with various gods in the Land of the Undying had long been circulated. It was impossible to ignore him. After his accident, it triggered a big battle between the peerless transcendents. There was a big commotion because of it.

"What does it have to do with me? Why are you blocking my way?" asked Demon Ancestor Qi Yi who was stopped by the shadow couple in the New World. They wanted to attack him.　　

"Shang Yi, Qi Yi, both Yis, are not good people. You targeted Wang Xuan earlier, right? We're ready to settle the score with you," said Demon Lord's mother.　　

Qi Yi almost cursed, but held back. The other party was carrying the Immortal Umbrella. Even in this era, treasures still held considerable deterrence.　　

Besides, these two were peerless transcendents who had temporarily preserved the Earth Immortal Dao. Originally, that was enough to suppress him.　　

The Demon Ancestor Qi Yi sighed and said, "You two, I've heard of implicating nine generations, but never heard of implicating even names. I have never had any deep-seated hatred with Wang Xuan. On the contrary, my second son Qi Liandao has no grudges with him and even calls him uncle."　　

What's this?

Qi Liandao's main body was right beside him. He really wanted to retort.

Who called that kid uncle?

But seeing the stern gaze of his father, he could only remain silent.　　

Demon Lord's father spoke, "Forget it, we're not unreasonable people. Let's let it go for now. Think about it, who has always had ill intentions toward Wang Xuan?"　　

Qi Yi helplessly pointed out and said, "The creator of the Demonic Embryo Technique is very mysterious. He has always wanted to find the strongest flesh body to adapt to this era!"　　

"He's elusive, we haven't found him!" replied Demon Lord’s mother.　　

In fact, over the past three days and two nights, they had been acting frantically, killing the golden figure that had once cooperated with Qi Tian. That person turned out to be a powerful evil spirit!　　

At the same time, they also made a trip to the Old World, to the deep underground palace. They intended to kill the mysterious strongman whose body was decaying and had been staying in the mortal realm. Unfortunately, that peerless transcendent from the depths of the earth had long since fled.　　

"We don't have much time left. If we stay in the mortal realm for too long, the Earth Immortal Dao won't be preserved, and they will inevitably fall. It's time to consider leaving," sighed Demon Lord's father.　　

He felt sorry for Wang Xuan's parents. In the end, with the end of the transcendent era, this child was met with mishap. They found Wang Xuan's blood on the spot, in large quantities, as if all his blood had been drained, but there was no sign of him. They assumed he had been cruelly smashed by Shang Yi.　

"As long as this child is alive, even if his body is damaged, I'm willing to let Yan Yan marry him as compensation," said Demon Lord’s mother. The two sighed, feeling that hope was slim. Saying this was just a way to cling to hope and find some psychological comfort.　　

"Any news from Fang Yuzhu?" asked the father.　　

"She's too reckless. She's chasing Shang Yi's main body and has entered the highest level of the spiritual realm. After the universe was corrected, the spiritual realm dimmed and closed. It's very dangerous to break into it at this special time. There's still no news about her," replied the mother. The two frowned, feeling worried.　　

At that moment, they were in the spaceship, entering the universe. Where should they go in this era? In fact, this was a big problem that all successful cultivators were considering. Life and destiny had reached a crossroads. Should they stay behind and spend the rest of their lives peacefully, or take the risk of venturing far away and seeking a path of transcendent survival in death?　　

"Judging from the direction Shang Yi escaped, he most likely went straight on the road, intending to break through to the highest level of the spiritual realm," said Demon Lord’s father. Suddenly, the spaceship received a signal, there was feedback.　　

"What, it's Wang Xuan, he's still alive!" exclaimed Demon Lord's mother. She was instantly stunned.

Amidst the bloody battle with the Sword Lunatic, Wang Xuan had actually survived?What an astonishing achievement! Just how powerful was this child in the real world?　　

The two were excited, immediately sending out messages to those who were anxiously searching for Wang Xuan, such as Demon Lord Yan Yan, Zhang Daoling, and others. At the same time, they directly video-called Wang Xuan to understand the details and see for themselves how he was doing.　　

"Child, where are you?" asked Demon Lord's mother. She was more emotional, her expression excited. Seeing him in tattered battle clothes, covered in bloodstains, she was very worried.　　

"I'm looking for Shang Yi and I need your help. I want to hunt him down and retrieve the Life Essence Furnace to save someone!" Wang Xuan said, preparing to seek assistance from all the peerless transcendents.　　

Time waits for no one. Although Celestial Sword Maiden was temporarily maintaining a balanced state, she would eventually die if she didn't improve and regain consciousness. The illness left by the transcendence could only be cured with the Life Essence Furnace.　　

"The Life Essence Furnace? We have it. We found it on the road while looking for you, but we don't have the lid," Demon Lord’s father spoke, directly picking up the ancient-looking furnace.　　

Wang Xuan was suddenly stunned. When things seemed hopeless, opportunities arose unexpectedly. He had lost hope, thinking about the vast universe and where to find Shang Yi. He never expected the turning point to come like this.　　

He grabbed the lid and said, "I have the lid with me. Where are you? I'll come over immediately!"　　

"We'll choose a middle ground and accelerate to meet you," Demon Lord's mother said.　　

They hadn't found Wang Xuan initially. After the mother ship of Shang Yi exploded, they rushed to the scene for the first time, where they found blood and spaceship wreckage. They also unexpectedly found the Life Essence Furnace from a distance. They didn't know what had happened exactly.　　

Wang Xuan speculated that the three men and two women had severely injured Shang Yi. He probably hurriedly escaped, eager to shake off the last pursuit of those few people. He didn't even have time to pick up the furnace after throwing it out.　　

"Wang Xuan, you need to carefully consider your journey. This era is not suitable for us to stay for long. Where do we go from here? Do you want to leave with us?" The shadow couple said solemnly and seriously, urging him to think carefully.
