The Stars Beyond

Chapter 433: The Giant Dragon And Tiny Ant

Wang Xuan sat quietly late at night. He was perceiving things beyond the grasp of ordinary individuals and even unreachable for other transcendents. He gazed into the void. At the far end of the boundless darkness, those crimson eyes remained and never departed. As for the voice, it had occasionally resounded.

"You obstruct my path, but you are also obstructing the birth of the new myth. Everything I do is not just for myself but to forge a new era." In the mist, the crimson eyes appeared mysterious and ruthless. Their voices were indifferent and merciless.

In the distance, within that sphere of divine light. The two figures continued their chanting while occasionally severing the bloodied chains to prevent them from approaching Wang Xuan. These scenes were only perceivable by Wang Xuan when his mind was clearest. Others, including Chen Yongjie nearby, couldn't see or hear them. It was as if two separate worlds existed even for transcendents. Only by breaking through their limitations and possessing a spiritual eye could one discern such distinctions.

"He has no chance. Only I can save the old mythological world and prolong its existence. Only I can reshape the cosmos and open up new domains of transcendence. Those who obstruct me are the sinners of this era!" voiced the crimson eyes.

In the mist, the crimson eyes constantly shifted position. Although his physical location was distant, he could mystically intervene in the present with his malevolent words and mental light. This was a realm beyond the ordinary, he retained such power even amidst the ebbing tide of the transcendent and the rapid decay of myth. This was also why he was so confident.

"If you truly seek to pioneer, then proceed steadfastly. Why seize the bodies of others and transform into the very Evil Dragon you once abhorred?" said one of the figures in the divine light.

"Are you paving the way or plundering? Even if you achieve your own goals, it may not alter the inevitable arrival of the apocalypse of myth." said the other figure. In the depths of darkness, the two figures within the light spoke in succession.

"If I can't do it, then no one can enter that domain and lead the emergence of the new myth. I am the only hope!" The mysterious shadow spoke.

From warrior to Evil Dragon, he had experienced many things. He fixed his gaze on Wang Xuan and said, "He’s so weak. What can he accomplish in this era? Protecting him is worthless. What do you expect from a newly sprouted seedling like him? It's meaningless. He is useless now! In the twilight of the transcendent era, he hasn't even begun his journey. He no longer has the qualifications or foundation to save the transcendent world!"

The ethereal shadow, the hidden dragon lurking in the mist, repeatedly urged those two individuals to step aside and not hinder his progress.

As for the golden figure from the Immortal Realm, it remained silent. Only its golden pupils gazed from the darkest depths. It was exerting its mental power to restrain Wang Xuan. This was a silent yet extremely terrifying individual!

"After all I've said, are you still going to seize the body of a weakling? Is this your path? Furthermore, someone has already attempted what you intend to accomplish. Even the invaluable Celestial Mirror was shattered. It won't work." said one of the figures in the divine light.

"If you truly have the power to revive the new myth and reshape the cosmos, sacrificing him is insignificant. If necessary, both of us can sacrifice our lives." In the darkness, the two shadows within the divine light spoke.

Wang Xuan felt heavy in his heart. He hadn't made any mistakes or wronged anyone, yet he was targeted simply because his body was suitable.

"Is it a fault to not be strong enough?" pondered Wang Xuan. He sat in silence and stared into the void. He felt a chill both physically and mentally. During the transition of the transcendent era, some individuals could be shattered by the waves at any moment, and yet they remained oblivious to their fate.

Under the tidal wave of the great era, the so-called weaklings like him might end up dying without even realizing it. They were unable to control their own destiny. Moreover, he wouldn't even know the truth, or what others intended for him if he couldn't ascend to this special state.

"I don't even have the right to speak. In the eyes of the supreme beings, I am just an ant to be looked down upon, ready to be harvested at any moment." Wang Xuan whispered softly. Although this was the truth, he didn't show any signs of discouragement or loss. After all, he had only been practicing for a few years?

"I must thank those two shadows, but I need to speed up. I can't rely on others forever. I have to rely on myself. Moreover, will that Evil Dragon join forces with others?" pondered Wang Xuan. He didn't want the male and female pair to get into trouble because of him. Today, he had a great sense of crisis. If that Evil Dragon used the tide to pressure others and put up a big argument, if it really tore off its mask and openly stood out, the situation might immediately become extremely complicated!

"In the Immortal Realm, you are very strong, just like a giant dragon overlooking ants. But this is the mortal world. Even if you are a dragon, you will rot and fall to the ground. After a while, perhaps you will be worse off than me, this mere ant. If ants can devour an elephant, can't they devour a dragon that has fallen to the ground?" said Wang Xuan.

At this critical moment, Wang Xuan absolutely could not allow himself to be discouraged. On the contrary, he needed to build confidence in himself. Even if he was transcendent, he still had to continue the fight.

If anyone really wanted to use the tide to pressure him, he would never bow down.

Did others expect to swallow the work of him pioneering a new myth? What were they thinking?

He wasn't that rigid!

"What is the origin of this creature?" pondered Wang Xuan. He stared at the golden eyes in the darkness. This person's strength was not inferior to that of the Evil Dragon, yet he remained silent. However, his methods were not simple. The ripples spreading out carried a sacred yet abyssal aura, and the golden light seemed to harbor darkness.

"Thank you for the protection, two seniors. I want to try. Please release the curse and let their mental power spread. Give them a chance and give me a chance to refine the path." said Wang Xuan as he sent out his spiritual tentacles into the boundless darkness in his most lucid state and communicated with the two shadows beyond the endless void in the form of some ancient incantation. Otherwise, normal communication wouldn't even reach them, and what he lacked the least were those ancient secret techniques.

The two shadows within the halo of divine light were obviously surprised. This was directed at their curse, originating from...... that kid! Did this really surprise them? At this level, could he already reach this domain and perceive them in the endless void? It was a bit unbelievable! Wang Xuan expressed his respect to them, but he was also very determined. He asked them to release the mental power of the Evil Dragon and the mysterious golden-eyed creature. There was nothing more to say. He wanted to try his luck with those two!

"Blocking their strong will is enough. As for curses and mysterious mental power, I want to assess them!" Wang Xuan said.

The male and female figures let him pass after a brief silence, but they remained vigilant and watched him carefully.

"Heh....... Have you guys finally thought it through?" In outer space, a dust-like figure floated up. It was emitting light and was shining brighter. His features were slightly more three-dimensional, breaking away from the shadowy state.

He seemed very handsome. Drawing upon the power of his true form, he was eager to take over that low-level prey. It was crucial for him. The blood-dripping chain came, spreading towards Wang Xuan. It was indeed a texture woven with mental power that formed into crimson cursed chains. This was a force that could penetrate through space and time. It could act from beyond the endless realms.

Swoosh!

It was like a venomous snake. It pounced instantly and entwined Wang Xuan. Soon, more and more chains wrapped around him and stained his body red. It was like a snake mountain. After observing for some time, the creature with golden pupils decisively took action. Otherwise, it would be too late to snatch this suitable young body. Among the two chains, one was dripping with blood just like a crimson poisonous snake, the other flowed with golden light, yet enveloped in darkness inside. Both were formidable. They became entangled with each other, like dragons battling fiercely for dominance. This was a confrontation of ancient spells and a collision of mental power. They were all aiming to completely assimilate Wang Xuan. They were targeting the depths of his spirit and aiming to obtain everything from him. At this moment, it was like two powerful dragons fighting to death. They were struggling only to devour their prey!

Boom!　

In outer space, the shadow figure became increasingly real and it was almost materializing. His mental light shone brightly and terrifyingly after he drew upon the power of his true form. In an instant, somewhere in outer space was dazzling, as if a sun was hanging there. His will was supposed to spread along the mental light, it was intending to descend but he suddenly felt resistance. Someone was contending with him. He wanted to drive that person away and truly seize what he desired.

In the endless void, the two shadows within the divine light immediately intervened. They even surged upward to seek the true location of their adversary. At the same time, in the darkness, the creature with golden pupils also sought to descend. He followed the incantations to confront both prey and adversary. Unfortunately, he too was blocked!

Ancient spells that were woven with mental power and carried a slight consciousness, were extremely special energy techniques. Now, they were densely wrapped around Wang Xuan. It could be said that the mysterious shadows in outer space and the creature with golden pupils were both very invested in capturing Wang Xuan. They intended to lock Wang Xuan with ancient spells to capture him directly. Naturally, the top priority for both of them was assimilation. Unfortunately, these two powerful top predators encountered each other and were entangled in a fight for Wang Xuan.

"That's it," Wang Xuan spoke, letting them entangle him as he embarked on his journey with the mental light of both.

In outer space, the shadow departed cautiously and was continuously changing positions. However, he always drew upon the power of his true form and had a strong will pushing in all directions. He wanted to follow the ancient spells and blend into the mental light. He wanted to completely take over the destined prey. He absolutely couldn't allow anyone else to intervene. The creature with golden pupils shared his thoughts, and also had a surge of powerful will.

However, there was a conflict in the mental light. The two battling dragons were now stunned.

Where was that ant?

It’s gone, it had suddenly disappeared, as if it had evaporated from the old world. And at this moment, their mental light dimmed, the power that they released vanished, the ancient spells disappeared, and the mental power entered into nothingness. It was no longer perceptible. This meant a deficiency in their mental connection. Both of them were shocked, then their expressions immediately turned cold. The two battling dragons couldn't continue their fight. They exerted all their efforts to sense and explore as they wanted to find Wang Xuan.

"Huh?" The man and woman in the divine light rain were also astonished. It’s their first time discovering such an anomaly with Wang Xuan.

......

In the depths of the universe, in the ancient spaceship, the four top experts were all alarmed. The case had been cracked. Who did it?! Demon Lord Yan Yan, and even Old Zhang, rushed over to see what was going on. He wanted to see if it matched his speculation. Two photos of burnt pieces of torn skirts, one red and one white, were clearly photographed and sent over.

"Where did the encrypted information come from, and who did this?!" shouted Yan Yan while gritting her teeth. Her beautiful face showed lesser charm and more murderous intent.

"With evidence and written mention, it was the Old World. It’s from the super rookie!" the mechanical bird exclaimed loudly. It was very excited and did not hesitate to embellish the story.

"Heh......" Demon Lord Yan Yan suddenly smirked. No one could tell whether it was out of anger or astonishment.

It was Wang Xuan?!　

Then, her expression changed because that familiar sensation returned. It was pulling her away once again into the unknown.
