Chapter 336: The Mysterious New World

In the vastness of space, small spacecraft ignited one after another like fireworks before the nine mysterious gateways, blooming in the cold expanse before fading into darkness.

"You.. are going too far!" someone shouted.

The once elegant celestial maidens were now in a mess, and they had lost their embroidered shoes. With their snow-white feet now bare, they fled wildly towards the misty gateway.

There were also powerful demons with their legs severed, crossing the blood-filled void and fleeing into the gateway.

And these were the comparatively fortunate ones, who managed to preserve their bodies for the most part. By contrast, the most impulsive ones who approached Wang Xuan's Vanguard with their small spacecraft were directly obliterated!

Their physical bodies were gone, and only their weak spirits were left drifting like dreams, vanishing into the nine ancient gateways.

Old Chen was truly frightened, cursing Qing Mu in his heart, as he had almost sent his master on his final journey!

Qing Mu felt satisfied as he stood in front of the screen with his hands behind his back. The demons were shrieking as they died, while the descendants of immortals were fleeing for their lives.

Although it was predetermined, executing it felt much better than experiencing it as the main protagonist.

He only came to his senses when he remembered the main protagonist. He was startled to notice that Wang Xuan and his master were dodging, jumping up and down, narrowly avoiding attack after attack.

Qing Mu hurriedly contacted the people on the large battleship. "Zhao Hong, be careful, don't hit my master!"

"Got it, I'm just putting on a show, it will be more realistic!" said Zhao Hong, who was Qing Mu's nephew.

Previously when Wang Xuan went to Pamir Plateau under the alias Wang Xiao to participate in the battle, it was this young man who went through the trouble of disguising himself as Wang Xuan. Later, when Wang Xuan went to the New World, Zhao Hong was arranged to pretend to be Wang Xiao for a while, and he was absolutely reliable.

Boom!

More demons were disintegrated beside Chen Yongjie. The demons had almost fled into one of the gateways, but they were still a step too slow and got obliterated.

Veins popped out on Old Chen's forehead, and the anger within him made his short hair glow. This scoundrel was really going to betray his master and destroy his ancestors?

Wang Xuan was left speechless too. Even he had almost been hit. This was the script that he had written, so it would be funny if he ended up getting killed too.

Qing Mu quickly shouted, cursing his nephew up and down. Zhao Hong didnt know when to stop!

But he could also understand, as he himself had felt exhilaration and unending vigor as he cut through demons like cutting vegetables. He had also been unable to resist the urge to keep attacking.

Clearly, his nephew was too invested as it was his first time experiencing this kind of scenario. It made his blood boil and it chipped away his sanity with every kill. After all, not everyone had the chance to hunt immortals and demons.

Wang Xuan and Old Chen didn't rush into the forefront, nor did they linger behind. They chose to enter a misty gateway with the flow, officially stepping into this mysterious realm!

What they saw was lush greenery, crystal clear rivers with immortal qi, and mountain cliffs with medicinal herbs rooted in their crevices that were surrounded by clouds and mist. The supernatural essence here wasn't overly dense, but it wasn't thin either.

Indeed, it was a mythical realm that was still suitable for cultivation, as it was not yet depleted.

Those who fled in looked miserable. Many were helping each other, some with broken legs, others missing arms, it was a bloody mess.

Some had just entered the gateway and already looked like they were suffering, it was truly pitiful.

The most difficult thing was that some people were reduced to mere spirits, drifting about, starting to doubt life itself. They hadn't even begun to explore the new world, yet they found themselves in such a dire situation.

Wang Xuan's eyelids twitched, as more and more heavily injured individuals continued to appear. He felt that Qing Mu had gone too far and had deviated from the script.

"Ughhhhhh..." A celestial maiden wept. Her breastplate was shattered and she was covered in blood; of ten delicate and beautiful fingers, she only had three left.

"It's too tragic. I feel so much hatred!" cried a demoness beside her. She was supported by someone, as she had lost one of her feet. She truly wanted to cry her heart out.

Wang Xuan sighed inwardly. Qing Mu, have you gone mad with killing?

Wang Xuan was left speechless as the blame would eventually fall squarely on the main protagonist's shoulders.

However, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and his mood improved considerably when he saw a certain celestial maiden charred black, emitting a foul odor You want to burn me with criticism? Well, now you're the one who got burned!

In outer space, Qing Mu had already ordered a ceasefire after he scolded his nephew. He looked at the battlefield with a mixture of shock and regret, knowing that he had caused trouble for Wang Xuan.

"There are quite a lot of shattered parts," he said reluctantly. He hadn't felt much pressure when Olesha, the pioneer of the New Arts field, had an accident, but now he felt somewhat uneasy.

Zhao Hong reassured him, saying, It's not too bad. Looking at the overall mess, most of it is from the small spacecraft breaking apart. Those immortals and demons are great runners. The ones truly blown to bits are just a few dozen people, definitely not over a hundred.

"Are you delusional? They're immortals and demons, not cabbages. Each one of them has their own backing!" replied Qing Mu, wanting to punch him.

Qing Mu looked around and saw the desolate sky that was filled with the tails of white foxes, the snow-white legs of celestial maidens, the half heads of zombies, the gigantic heads of demonic serpents, and the lower bodies of certain young masters...

As everything came to a close, Qing Mu, disguised as Wang Xuan said "As a practitioner of ship mechanics, all I seek is self-preservation, peace, and tranquility. I hope everyone will take care of themselves."

Some formal words still needed to be said, after all.

He said these words just as the last crippled transcendent entered the New World, and everyone was shocked to hear them. They couldnt accept that the outside was indeed quiet and peaceful now.

Wang Xuan remained calm. If it went beyond the script, so be it. After all, those who were struck were mainly enemies who were trying to rush out in small spacecraft. None of them were innocent. They were hit and killed, simple as that!

"Qing Mu, well done!" commended Wang Xuan.

What annoyed him was that some descendants of those immortals and demons actually emerged unscathed. Their strength was unbelievable and they had escaped faster than anyone else at the time.

"Lets block him here. As long as he dares to follow, we'll hack him to pieces." The speaker had a grim face and a hole in their chest.

Someone objected, "There are a total of nine gateways. If you don't know which one he enters through, you might waste your time and miss the opportunity of the New World's blessings."

"Indeed, I'm not waiting. Everyone, I'll be on my way first!" A man with green wings on his back turned into a flash of green light and disappeared instantly.

Seeing this, everyone's faces changed. They all hurried on their way, not daring to stop for a moment. In a competition of pride, seizing the Heavenly Herb and Supreme Scriptures was far more important.

Their elders had informed them that several of the most important scriptures originated from this place!

As bystanders, Old Chen and Wang Xuan also left with a sense of frustration that their enemies were beyond their reach. They each went their own way, quickly disappearing.

"Ah..." the man at the forefront with green wings cried out in alarm.

He was flying in mid-air when suddenly, a giant cat with a woman's face and crimson eyes appeared in the mountains. It leaped two hundred meters high in the blink of an eye and bit him in half, spraying blood everywhere.

All those who were swiftly moving ahead were horrified. The man with the green wings was a ninth-stage transcendent being, yet he had been bitten in half by that black giant cat in an instant!

After his wretched scream, his spirit immediately left his body and tried to escape, but he was sucked into the giant cat's mouth and swallowed, perishing in body and soul..

After landing on the ground, the giant black cat shrank to half a meter in length. The womans face adorning its head was beautiful, but her eyes were crimson and glowed with madness as the cat charged towards the crowd.

At the moment, no one could avoid the battle. The cat was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it decapitated three eighth-stage transcendents, and bit off half of the body of a ninth-stage female cultivator. It was extremely terrifying.

They had only just entered the New World, and they had already encountered such a powerful monster. It was no wonder the ancient immortals said that this place was filled with sinister and dangerous beings.

At a critical moment, the Blood God Ape stepped forward with a sneer. This red-haired monster with three heads, six arms, and a thundering divine ring behind its head, leaped hundreds of meters high and pounced towards the black giant cat, which had reverted to a length of six meters.

Boom!

The earth shook violently. After a brief clash, the Blood God Ape brutally tore the black giant cat with the beautiful woman's face into two pieces, splattering the mountainside with bright red blood.

The crowd were stunned by the scene. The rumored illegitimate child of the Demon Saint was indeed terrifyingly strong!

Wang Xuan grew wary. This red-haired monkey was indeed not to be trifled with as he was extremely brutal and fierce.

"Everyone, I'll head in first. The good stuff is deeper inside. The blessing begins when you enter the inner area, at the place where the nine gateways connect with heaven and earth," said the Blood God Ape. He bolted away, causing a sonic boom, and disappeared into the distance, moving at an unbelievable speed.

He was the strongest among the immortals and demons who entered through this gateway. The others followed behind him, and came across some terrifying corpses along the way.

Descendants of the immortals, young talents of the demon race, and others all pushed their speed to the limit, following closely behind. With the Blood God Ape leading the way, they could avoid many disasters.

This world was truly vast. After running for eight hundred miles, they finally crossed the outer area and entered the region of blessings.

Here, they saw people who had entered through other portals. The Pure Land, Immortal Garden, Divine Kingdom, and Demon Realm were no longer separated but had been unsealed once more and integrated into one whole.

There was a fire ahead that was shimmering with colorful light and radiating a dazzling brilliance. A mysterious substance overflowed from it, and those breathing in this substance felt refreshed.

Wang Xuan was moved. That substance made him want to get closer.

However, this place was extremely dangerous, inhabited by creatures of the Wanderer-level. There was a golden elephant and a white lion, both the size of small mountains.

Then, Demon Four discovered the fire. He walked towards it with agile steps, and everyone else made way, some even turning to leave the area.

Boom!

The moment they clashed, Demon Four crushed the golden elephant with his hands and punched through the mountain-sized white lion, swiftly slaughtering the two frenzied beasts.

The strength and fierceness that allowed him to instantly overwhelm two great Wanderer-level monsters were in stark contrast with his refined appearance. Demon Four flicked off the blood from his fists and sat by the bonfire with his eyes closed, contemplating.

Old Chen had arrived with the others just in time to witness the scene. His heart pounded wildly. Even with a top-grade treasure like the Soul-Binding Bell in hand, he doubted he could handle the fourth-generation core figure of the demonic cultivators.

Wang Xuan saw him from afar, and signaled him not to approach such a figure at this stage. He advised to seek blessings elsewhere and to discuss other matters after finding an opportunity to break through.

Wang Xuan left by himself and ventured alone into the depths of this new world. Along the way, he encountered some recently deceased bodies that were quite gruesome.

Two hours later, he also stumbled upon a bonfire and people fighting over it. Despite this, he approached and analyzed the essence of the bonfire with his spiritual eyes.

Immediately, his heart raced. What burned in the bonfire amidst the dazzling light rain? They were all papers filled with peculiar charactersthey were scriptures!

"Who would be so wasteful to light a fire using scriptures?!" He was genuinely surprised.

No wonder, during the Pre-Qin period, someone found a golden bamboo slip among the ashes of a burning bonfire. It appeared that it was originally a pile of scriptures, and only a supreme one had remained intact. What a terrible waste!

People were fighting here, and in the end, only one man and one woman were left facing each other. They had eliminated everyone else, and the blood-stained floor displayed their strength.

Wang Xuan recognized both of them immediately, as they were people he very much wanted to kill!

The scar-faced man that exuded a fierce aura held a white bone banner in his hand. He was the one that grunted that he would beat out Wang Xuans Immortal Core the moment they met!

Wang Xuan's expression darkened. This scar-faced man was right at the top of his hit list!

The woman surrounded by an immortal mist had purple hair and a good figure. White strands of immortal threads wrapped around her white arms. Her once beautiful face now had a burn on the left side from the exploding battleships.

This woman had been very resentful, claiming that Wang Xuan, a mere mortal, had shamelessly obtained the Godslaying Banner and managed to leave a mark on the New Covenant.

"You two actually survived. Well, then let me send you two on your way!" said Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan looked around and found no one nearby, so he took out the Godslaying Banner, not to attack, but to accelerate. He had tried it during his exploration of the Solitary Void and found that it could increase his speed tenfold!

He was clad in heavy armor, with the black longsword in one hand and the golden banner in the other. He dove down with a thunderous roar, like lightning streaking across the sky!

His speed was ten times greater than normal, and he simply blasted through the sound barrier.

By the time the scar-faced man realized something was amiss, it was already too late. Wang Xuan's black longsword flashed like lightning.

The scar-faced man instinctively dodged, and the blade did not remove his head entirely. It still hit him, however, cutting off a part of his skull.

He instantly screamed in agony as he felt his skull split open. At ten times the normal speed, any slight contact with Wang Xuan's weapon had terrifying consequences.

Part of the scar-faced mans skull was sent flying and his brain turned to mush in an instant as the part of his head still attached to the neck was shattered by the tremendous force.

His spirit surged out rapidly, attempting to escape.

However, Wang Xuan's Godslaying Banner was waiting for his spiritual body to appear. As it gently swept through the air, the spirit of the scar-faced man knew that death was knocking. He was well aware of who owned this weapon.

He chuckled bitterly, realizing that it was his own words that had invited this calamity. With a soft pop, his spiritual body dissipated.

He had been killed instantly!

The purple-haired woman was shocked. In the blink of an eye, her opponent had been killed by someone. Although it had been a sneak attack, it was still terrifying.

Initially, she wanted to express her gratitude, but everything became clear to her the moment she saw the Godslaying Banner. This man dressed like a general was none other than the "big shot Wang Xuan" who had left his name on the golden scroll.

Without a word, she attacked him desperately, seeking an opportunity to escape. However, after several clashes, this ninth-stage expert was completely outmatched.

A soft sound echoed as the sixth-stage Wang Yuan beheaded her. The blood-stained head of the celestial maiden flew away, and with a sweep of the Godslaying Banner, her spiritual essence was extinguished.

In the fire pit, there were many papers and fragments filled with dense rows of characters that shimmered with light. Faint chanting echoed from the flame.

What an extravagant fire!

Sensing the mysterious energy, Wang Xuan was about to sit down when a thought suddenly made him alert. Why were there no crazed beasts lurking around or guarding this place? Was he just lucky?

Soon, he heard roars of beasts in the distance. It seemed had overthought it as someone was obviously battling monsters.

He quickly got up and climbed to higher ground, where he saw three dead monsters in the distance, killed by someone strong.

Huh?

The victor turned out to be another monster that looked like a large white cat.

Wang Xuan lurked stealthily, preparing to strike the monster!

Before long, the white cat returned and sat by the fire pit with its eyes closed. It absorbed the mysterious substance and pondered on it carefully.

Wang Xuan suddenly made his move, using the Godslaying Banner to accelerate his speed by ten times. Like a celestial being from beyond the heavens, he merged into one with the black longsword, and thrust towards the back of the monsters head!

However, this crazed beast was too perceptive, it was incredibly sharp. With a swoosh, it leaped up and dashed out!

Even so, the black longsword that Wang Xuan wielded still managed to slightly puncture its tiger butt!

Blood gushed out instantly, and it howled miserably in pain.

It bolted away, but then it abruptly turned to look back and caught sight of Wang Xuan. Seeing the black longsword and the Godslaying Banner in his hand, this giant white cat seemed infuriated.

"It's you oww," it unexpectedly said in the voice of a young girl.

Wang Xuan was taken aback. This giant cat seemed somewhat familiar.
