Chapter 407: Even Immortals Can Die

Chapter 407: Even Immortals Can Die

"Even the individuals that broke through the ceiling and surpassed the limits of the real world's suppression have died?" Chen Yongjie was dazed, feeling incredulous.

This news was too sudden. It rang in his ears and shook his mind. The ancient spaceship was too terrifying.

He had some lingering fear. He would have died too if he hadn't stayed to guard Wang Xuan and had gone to explore first!

Though not in the same compound, Wang Xuan still woke abruptly from a deep meditation the moment he heard parts of Old Chen's words. He vanished from where he was, then appeared in Old Chens room.

"Theyre alldead?" said Wang Xuan as his heart sank.

"Yes," Chen Yongjie nodded, furrowing his brow.

Then, as if remembering something, he added, "I'm talking about the New World. A similar ancient spaceship had also suddenly appeared in outer space. It had a hull that was pockmarked and stained with a large amount of transcendent blood."

"My God!" shouted Wang Xuan. He glanced at him and felt an urge to reprimand Chen Yongjie.

Couldn't he just speak calmly?

Chen Yongjie had just tightened Wang Xuans heartstrings.

In the New World, an ancient spaceship appeared almost simultaneously with the one in the Old World. They were not identical but very similar. There were many transcendents in the New World, including disciples of top experts. Six teams had gone to explore, and four powerful experts who were at the transcendent level had died, along with thirty-seven other transcendents.

"It is reported that in the New World, they violently opened the cabin. In an instant, more blood spilled out!" said Chen Yongjie.

Wang Xuan frowned. This matter was rather suspicious.

Why did two ancient spaceships appear simultaneously outside the New World and the Old World? Who brought them back?

He spoke up, "I think this matter is not simple. It seems to be sending some kind of signal to the New World and the Old World."

He looked at the photo again. In the cold void and the dark universe, tainted with the fresh but uncoagulated blood of the transcendents, the old-fashioned ship appeared extremely eerie. However, due to the angle of the shot and the distance, it was not very clear. They couldn't discern the situation inside the cabin.

"In such a tumultuous time, itll be complicated and dangerous if this is a signal sent by some civilization," Wang Xuan said.

Wang Xuan and Old Chen had a discussion. They realized they needed to find the Demon Lord Yan Yan and have her contact her main body in the great veil for assistance. Otherwise, the problem would be very tricky. Of course, Wang Xuan also wanted to make a trip himself. With the Life Essence Furnace on him, it was his most powerful trump card. Of course, he wouldn't rashly charge in, he would act with caution instead. They set off overnight and returned to An City. They couldn't stay in the coastal Mo City any longer as preparations for various tasks were needed to be underway.

"Qing Mu, go to Xiong Mountain to find the Demon Lord. If you can't find her, just shout out out loud, saying that Maiden Fang and Zhang Daoling are in trouble," Chen Yongjie contacted Qing Mu. He had instructed him to immediately go to the Divine Farm.

Wang Xuan went to find Huang Ming and spent the whole morning in his tea house as he waited for news. Huang Ming and Kong Yun were both from the Demon Clan and should have a clearer understanding of the movements of Demon Lord Yan Yan.

"Old Zhang and Old Ming are really not reassuring. Knowing there's a problem, they're still not being careful enough. I hope they'll be safe," Wang Xuan muttered to himself.

Huang Ming was speechless. He thought:

How does this guy not fear being beaten to death by the two ancestors if they hear him?

Master Huang's mood was complicated. They even sparred with each other when he first met Wang Xuan.

Now, it was not just him but even the son of the Demon Ancestor, who was a lunatic, didn't want to meet Wang Xuan. He was scared off by Crazy Wang and was even feared for being used as his motivation.

Between them, the fragrance of tea wafted gently on the surface of the spirit wood table that was covered with fresh flowers and vines. The atmosphere was quite pleasant, and the tea house was elegantly decorated, with white celestial aura floating around.

"Brother Wang, you don't need to worry. Kong Yun has personally contacted various parties to find the Demon Lord. Besides, Maiden Fang and the two Patriarchs are blessed with good fortune and immortality. Nothing will happen to them," Huang Ming reassured.

With a mysterious tone, Huang Ming lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you some good news. I've heard preliminary information that there's a major event in the Immortal Realm. The person who wanted to kill you probably died!" He teased, leaving the sentence unfinished.

Wang Xuan was speechless. He wanted to tell him that it was his hand that killed Zheng Yuantian, and yet here he was treating it like some precious secret?

"I'm waiting for the latest news to confirm if he's really dead. After all, he's a peerless master, and it's not easy for him to perish so easily," Huang Ming said. Seeing Wang Xuan's lack of interest, he immediately mentioned the real name in a low voice, "Zheng Yuantian is dead!"

Wang Xuan didn't want to bother with this matter at first, but he had to pretend to be shocked. Otherwise, this cunning fox would definitely be overthinking.

"He's dead? That's so surprising!" exclaimed Wang Xuan. To express his shock, he had to drink three cups of tea in a row to cover up his calm demeanor.

"Huge news indeed. It's confirmed. Zheng, the extraordinary, has fallen. He was killed by a mysterious figure. I was told not even a speck of him remains!" Zhou Qinghuang ascended the stairs with quick steps. This time, dressed as a student and wearing glasses, she was delicate and gentle. However, she was with a restless heart and was not calm at all.

She also brought along Gu Mingxi. These two had always been together and rarely seen separated. Last time, Gu Mingxi didnt attend the opening of the tea house as she wanted to avoid Wang Xuan.

There was a commotion among the people in the tea house. Surprisingly, there were some transcendents here. It was not just ordinary people that were having lively discussions.

Someone echoed, "Confirmed! The Great Veil is in turmoil. Just now, Ancestor Heng Jun officially announced that the Patriarch Zheng has passed away."

"It's rumored that the mysterious person might be an unparalleled master who used a teapot lid to smash Master Zheng!" Zhou Qinghuang said.

Wang Xuan was speechless. His mood was complicated.

He had become unparalleled himself? The lid of the Life Essence Furnace became a teapot lid?

This rumor was outrageous.

Was someone deliberately hiding information about the Life Essence Furnace?

Regardless of anything else, the mysterious figure became famous for killing Zheng Yuantian. The news shocked the Immortal Realm and caused a huge stir as everyone speculated about his identity. In this day and age, myths have ended, and peerless masters are beyond reach. Naturally, the person who could kill Zheng Yuantian will inspire awe.

"They still couldn't trace him even with several ancestors joining forces. It's as if he doesn't exist in this world. He's truly a god-like existence. Unfortunately, we won't have the chance to meet him," Zhou Qinghuang said regretfully.

This incident had caused all transcendents inside and outside the great veil to be unsettled. They were all speculating about the culprit and were causing a massive uproar.

Huang Ming was surprised. "Maiden Zhou, aren't you uninterested in men?"

"You know nothing. A peerless expert is peerless in my eyes, whether male or female," said Zhou Qinghuang. She seemed scholarly, but her words were sharp.

"You're asking for trouble. Keep your mouth shut!" said Gu Mingxi. She rolled her eyes, and stopped her from speaking nonsense.

"Some speculate that this might be a newly emerged peerless expert because all known experts in the Immortal Realm have been ruled out!" Zhou Shiqian spoke up. She was also present.

"This is astounding! I really want to know his identity. Rising in this era, killing Zheng Yuantian, and becoming one of the strongest is truly remarkable!" said someone. A group of people discussed fervently. Their discussions were heated.

Wang Xuan was astonished. He hadn't expected that killing Zheng Yuantian would cause such a stir even in the mortal realm. He did not expect such significant repercussions.

"Found her. The Demon Lord is waiting for you at the spaceship base. Head to outer space soon!" Chen Yongjie's call came.

Sure enough, the red-clothed Yan Yan that was on Xiong Mountain was summoned out. She notified her counterpart in the great veil and swiftly rushed over. Wang Xuan immediately got up and hurried to the spaceship base outside An City.

"Be careful. It's best to stay outside the ancient spaceship and not simply enter it," Chen Yongjie advised. He wouldn't go himself as he felt like he'd be sending himself to his doom.

With a whoosh, a small spaceship broke through the atmosphere and swiftly entered the dark expanse of space. In reality, there was still quite a distance from the New World.

The ancient spaceship was enormous and was comparable to a large warship. It silently floated with bloodstains as if it had escaped from a pile of corpses.

How much blood did transcendents spill to create such a situation?

"The ancient spaceship is troublesome. This thing is not weak. It's inherently compatible with transcendent power systems," the red-clothed Demon Lord Yan Yan spoke.

This time, she was serious and did not smile at all while on the journey. It was different from her usual charming demeanor. Clothed in red, she exuded the majesty of the co-ruler of the Demon Clan.

Wang Xuan stepped out of the spaceship and stood beside her. He sent the small spaceship away as it was too dangerous here.

"All of it was genuine blood of immortals. Its not ordinary transcendent blood," said Demon Lord Yan Yan as stood in outer space. She was looking at the scarred surface of the ancient spaceship.

Wang Xuan was astonished. This colossal ancient ship resembled an island that was stained red.

It turned out to be immortal blood?

That was terrifying.

How many immortal beings had to be slaughtered for this?

"It's intriguing that the ancient spaceship had appeared in both the outer space of the New World and Old World. I wonder if it had also appeared at other nearby renowned mythological planets?" Yan Yan muttered to herself.

"The spaceship came from deep space and the era of immortal blood is unknown. Was it sent here by someone as a challenge, or as a call for help?" said Demon Lord Yan Yan. She was exuding unparalleled elegance, but now she had a cold demeanor. There was a glint of determination in her eyes.

Wang Xuan tightened his grip on the Godslaying Banner and was ready to throw himself into battle at any moment. There was an unknown danger here that even made the Demon Lord look serious.

"Can you sense the presence of Maiden Fang and Old Zhang?" he asked.

"Why? Are you worried?" The Demon Lord glanced at him with her faint smile.

She looked at the spaceship and said, "Fang Yuzhu won't be killed so easily. That's her flesh and blood. The two of us wont have a good outcome if even she dies inside."

"In this day and age, are there still beings that can threaten you?" asked Wang Xuan. He seized the opportunity to inquire, hoping to unravel more mysteries.

"The universe is vast and boundless. Who can say for sure? Perhaps in some corner, on some desolate star, there might be a special race thats unreasonably powerful. Although I haven't found any," she said.

Was she being humble or confident?

"You seem very worried, probably not for Old Ming, nor would you be nervous for Zhang Daoling. Rest assured, Fang Yuzhu shouldn't die. Someone has foreseen her fate and she will have a descendant," said the Demon Lord as she raised her delicate eyebrows, curling her beautiful lips, she continued, "She hasn't given birth yet."

Why was she even saying such bold words?

Wang Xuan was speechless.
