The Stars Beyond

Chapter 529: Calamity Of Evil Spirits

In the depths of the universe, a bloody scene unfolded. The black terrifying evil spirit howled, its cries piercing and desperate. Wang Xuan tore it apart piece by piece, and despite its attempts to escape, it couldn't flee.

As for counter attacking or resisting, it was already powerless. With the loss of the support of Qi Tian's flesh and blood essence, its strength diminished, especially after being heavily injured not long ago.

Although this creature was in a spiritual state, it appeared humanoid with some bestial features, giving off an unsettling feeling. Enveloped in black fog, it had a single horn on its head and dark scales on its face.

Wang Xuan didn't hold back against this creature. Having experienced firsthand the tragic demise of a fellow being, he empathized deeply.

In fact, today's battle was directed at him by this terrifying evil spirit. If he were defeated, his fate would be the same as Qi Tian's. It would mean the end of his life. Today's fight had brought him perilously close to death, he was almost overwhelmed and devoured by this black terrifying evil spirit. He couldn't bear to imagine such a scenario.

"Tell me, are you an ancient terrifying evil spirit, or one of those fallen terrifying evil spirits related to another universe and technology?" asked Wang Xuan, demanding to know its origin.

"The latter, young man, you're truly lucky to come out on top today. But mark my words, one day, another of my kind will come for you!" exclaimed the black terrifying evil spirit, retorting arrogantly. Its primordial blood flowed as it spoke with foul breath.

With a bang, Wang Xuan slapped half of its head to pulp, seizing the shattered spirit light that fell off, intending to probe its memories.

Jiang Qingyao approached with sword in hand, saying, "I never expected it to be a terrifying evil spirit causing trouble. I've been wondering why the legendary Qi Tian, the true immortal lord known for his grace and purity, changed so much after his resurrection. It's such a pity. He endured so much hardship. It's truly sad."

Then, unable to hold back, she began her own sword practice on the fragments of the terrifying evil spirit torn off by Wang Xuan.

"Speak up! Where do creatures like you come from? How many people have you replaced? Are some of the historical incidents involving sudden accidents and drastic personality changes in powerful individuals related to you?" Jiang Qingyao asked.

......

From afar, within the spaceship, all the peerless transcendents who were watching this battle were stunned. Wang Xuan had won. The second person who had opened a special inner landscape during his mortal life had actually been resurrected, but it was the terrifying evil spirit that replaced him!

This series of events shook everyone to the core. No one could remain calm. Wang Xuan, a newcomer, had succeeded in slaying an Earth Immortal with his own hands? What kind of outcome was this? Who could remain indifferent? Everyone was astonished!

The domineering Sword Lunatic's eyes flashed with sharpness as he stared at Wang Xuan's face, revealing a faint smile.

The parents of Demon Lord, from initially being worried, anxious, and restless, gradually began to smile. They were finally showing some signs of looking at their son-in-law differently.

Of course, they hadn't forgotten about the terrifying evil spirit. Demon Lord's father had long since suppressed the Qi Tian within the spaceship with his right hand, opening his Thunder God Eyes, with lightning streaking through, staring deep into his flesh and blood.

"Sure enough, something's not right. The flesh and blood belong to the Immortal Lord Qi Tian, but the spirit is just a clone of the terrifying evil spirit?" said Demon Lord’s father. His expression darkened, brimming with killing intent.

"You daredevils! How many Immortal Dao powerhouses have you devoured? Do you want to overthrow the transcendental world?" exclaimed the ancestor of the Imperial Palace of Gouchen, even he couldn't sit still anymore.

At their level, they naturally knew about terrifying evil spirits and had a rough understanding of these creatures. Some historical figures had fallen victim to the terrifying evil spirits.

These creatures were very strong, and most importantly, they were exceptionally secretive. They were hard to detect through conventional means, making them almost impossible to guard against.

"Hehe, I never expected to lose. It's really beyond my expectations. I've roamed the mythical era for thousands of years, inhabited the bodies of ancient emperors, seized special inner landscapes, and experienced different lives. Two or three hosts were the protagonists of their respective eras, making my life spectacular. But in the end, it had to end like this. It's really regrettable." The clone of the terrifying evil spirit spoke from within Qi Tian's flesh and blood. It showed no fear, as if it had already accepted its fate. Death was just death.

"What are you, just a parasite? You dare to lament in front of us? Come out!" Demon Lord's father's fingertips emitted lightning, forcibly restraining it. He began to probe its spirit, wanting to uncover the secrets of this terrifying evil spirit.

"Do you think I'll cooperate with you? Even if you search my spirit, I'll just let your divine light invade. My life will shatter anyway," said the evil spirit.

It was prepared, having severed many imprints in advance. Letting his opponent's lightning strike, most of its spirit began to disintegrate.

"I've experienced eras long gone, even when they hunted down the First One, I was fortunate enough to witness from afar. It was truly thrilling, seeing the supreme brilliance of our predecessors," said the evil spirit.

The First One he spoke of naturally referred to the only Immortal Dao expert who had ever suppressed the Sword Lunatic. The so-called predecessors were likely the terrifying evil spirits of the ancient era, at the transcendent level.

"Don't blame me for not warning you. There's another terrifying evil spirit here, as you call it," said the evil spirit. Then, its spirit shattered as it was attempting self-destruction.

"In front of me, you must ask for my permission before you can die!" Demon Lord's father seized the black spirit, which was like a piece of broken porcelain, full of cracks.

Meanwhile, the people present inevitably glanced at each other. Many of them focused on the Pool of Life because there was a nest of terrifying evil spirits inside, and these creatures posed a significant threat.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Figures from both the Buddhist and Daoist sects were also present, with the monk who controlled the divine artifact, the Divine Palace, speaking up.

"Everyone, we are not terrifying evil spirits, but descendants from another universe. We have been conducting research over the years and have dissected some terrifying evil spirits." Someone spoke up from the Pool of Life. Just then, three people appeared and landed in the spaceship, looking like they had just come out of a laboratory.

"Last time, I chased after the Pool of Life and personally killed a terrifying evil spirit!" Demon Lord's father stared at them and spoke.

"That was our experimental subject. In order to appease your anger, we had no choice but to let him suffer." A quiet woman who emerged from the Pool of Life spoke.

Then, the three of them openly displayed their spirit lights, devoid of the terrifying aura unique to the terrifying evil spirit creatures.

"I think the strangest and most suspicious among us is Shang Yi!" The ancestor of the Superlative Palace voiced his opinion.

It wasn't because he and a group of people from the Land of the Undying were mercilessly slain by Shang Yi when contending for the Roaming Ark. Rather, he genuinely harbored suspicions about the Sword Lunatic.

In the ancient era, when all the emperors had perished, even the First One had been killed. Only Shang Yi, who was half-mad and half-foolish for a period, had survived.

"How dare you suspect me!" shouted Shang Yi as his killing intent surged. Even the ancestors of the Superlative Palace and the Imperial Palace of Gouchen were pushed back two steps by his impact.

"So what if we suspect you? You do have some issues!" said Fang Yuzhu. She was also focused on Shang Yi.

"That's right. Just because you and Qi Tian teamed up and conspired to kill Wang Xuan, I believe you're not innocent," said Demon Lord's mother with a cold voice.

At that point, the strong figures from both the Buddhist and Daoist sects also focused on him, as did the three people who emerged from the Pool of Life. They were all casting suspicion on him.

The Sword Lunatic was quite arrogant, but seeing everyone focusing on him, he didn't resist. Gripping the Sword of Mortals tightly, he said, "That's right. In the ancient era, a terrifying evil spirit targeted me, but so what? It was killed by me instead. That kind of peerless ancient terrifying evil spirit emperor wanted to seize my life, but ended up being devoured by me!"

He also released his spirit light, and an extremely powerful spirit shone, even more astonishing than the black terrifying evil spirit that had been at its peak inside Qi Tian! This meant he was more terrifying than other Earth Immortals! His spirit was like an invincible sword, extremely daunting, emitting dazzling sword light that inspired awe.

"Indeed, not a terrifying evil spirit," said someone, nodding their head.

The peerless transcendents present, in order to dispel suspicion, voluntarily displayed their spirits for verification. It was evident how much they feared the calamity of terrifying evil spirits, which had occurred more than once in history.

Meanwhile, people couldn't help but be astonished. The Sword Lunatic did indeed go too far by devouring a terrifying evil spirit of the Peerless-level.

"What valuable information did you gain after devouring the terrifying evil spirit?" Demon Lord's father asked him.

"I devoured an ancient terrifying evil spirit, not the Fallen terrifying evil spirit from another universe. The ancient terrifying evil spirit is related to the vanished super civilization. I haven't fully researched it, but I obtained some extraordinary ancient methods," replied the Sword Lunatic.

"I suspect that in ancient times, the emperors were either replaced by terrifying evil spirits or colluded with them, leading to the collapse of that glorious era," Demon Lord's father said.

The calamity of terrifying evil spirits had occurred several times in the past. For example, the violent deaths of several prominent figures in the past had traces of evil spirits, but no one had expected that the entire ancient era might be related to them. They were exceptionally active, and were having a significant impact.

"Which is more ferocious, the ancient terrifying evil spirit or the fallen terrifying evil spirit from another universe?" someone asked.

One of the three people who emerged from the Pool of Life responded, "The visitors from another universe were originally here for exploration, but some powerful beings among them fell. Their threat seems to be even greater than the ancient terrifying evil spirit."

......

"Qi Tian is dead. My dear friend has left the mortal realm today!" A voice came from the depths of the universe. Someone standing in a warship was about to go crazy, intending to attack Wang Xuan.

"Wait a minute, Qi Tian's death was too unusual. I clearly saw two spirits in his flesh and blood," said someone, intervening.

As the Evil Dragon chased after him, there were warships following from behind. Qi Tian's old friends from over three thousand years ago were watching the battle from a distance.

The ending was somewhat unacceptable. After tracking to this point, they saw Qi Tian's fall. Even though some people noticed issues with the black spirit torn apart by Wang Xuan, someone still intended to take action.

Boom!　

A terrifying beam burst forth as warships opened fire.

"Damn it, did they forget about me?" said the mechanical bear as he flew into a rage, rushing to intercept.

Some beams broke through, heading towards Wang Xuan. However, he had a supreme treasure in hand, capable of tearing through the void of the universe. His Earth Immortal level strength was still terrifying even if the end of the transcendence was near.

He tore open the void with the Life Essence Furnace, avoiding the attack. The furnace lid glowed as the might of the supreme treasure swept over him. He was ready to counterattack.

"What? Are they fighting again?" asked Demon Lord mother, shocked by the scene.

"Find a way to contact them and tell them the truth about Qi Tian's death," Fang Yuzhu said. This misunderstanding had to be resolved.

"I just searched the spirit fragment of the terrifying evil spirit and learned the message of the true Qi Tian's group. I can immediately contact their spaceship," Demon Lord's father said, springing into action.

......

"The real Qi Tian... was devoured by the terrifying evil spirit three thousand years ago?" Someone from the warship spoke.

"How could this be? How tragic, Brother Qi!" said another one.

"No wonder I felt that Brother Qi had changed." Another one spoke, feeling sad.

In the depths of the universe, Qi Tian's old friends were sorrowful. They couldn't help but believe it. Now, Fang Yuzhu, Demon Lord's parents, and the eminent figures of the Buddhist and Daoist sects all stood up to vouch for Wang Xuan. Moreover, Qi Tian's old friends themselves witnessed the final scene.

......

"Now that everything is settled, there's no need to project the scene there anymore. I have something to attend to and must leave. I won't join you on this journey," the Sword Lunatic was the first to retract his supreme treasure, unwilling to cooperate in constructing the Mirror Light.

"Well, you seem eager?" said Fang Yuzhu while fixing her gaze on him. Her spirit had undergone numerous great nirvanas, making her extremely sensitive. She felt that his departure was too hasty.

"Sword Lunatic, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I want to see how Wang Xuan is doing in the end," Demon Lord's father also felt something was amiss and spoke up.

"What do you take me for? Am I here to serve you at your whim?" The Sword Lunatic responded coldly.

In the depths of the universe, Wang Xuan tore apart the black terrifying evil spirit. After probing its spirit, he caused its disintegration. However, he frowned because the information he obtained was valuable but not sufficient.

The black terrifying evil spirit, knowing it was doomed, naturally refused to cooperate. When it fell into the enemy's hands, it tore apart some of its imprints on its own.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Wang Xuan looked up, feeling the universe's void was unusually disturbed, causing him intense unease. Fog began to rise around him!

Swish! Jiang Qingyao and Wang Xuan stood back to back. She wielded the Purple Celestial Dao Sword, alert and serious. She also felt her spirit trembling.

Who was approaching?

Wang Xuan sensed something in his mind. Holding two supreme treasures in his hands, and having just slain an Earth Immortal level Evil Dragon, someone still dared to attack him in this situation.
