The Elysium Across Deep Space

The sudden upheaval caught everyone off guard. The gods descended into the real world, which was out of people's expectations. Cracked open by supreme treasures, the Great Barrier formed large fissures which became safe passages. The gods and undyings that were one the same level as transcendent crossed over like a school of fish. They appeared from the void and crossed over.　　

There were also many bloodstained corpses that died by the aftermath of the supreme treasures. They were falling out with clattering sounds. It was like the end of the world, with the bloody bodies of gods and the tattered remains of undyings falling from the sky.　　

Even Wang Xuan was moved. He no longer sat cross-legged but stood up and went to the big screen to watch the terrifying scenes in the real world. They were not only on the ground but also in outer space. However, there was still peace of mind as the mighty beings were not out yet and were still fighting in the Great Barrier. They were unwilling to be suppressed by the real world.　　

Once they emerged, with every earthquake, even the top figures among the immortals and gods would not escape from being crushed by the ceiling. Fortunately, most people landed on the ground. More and more beings from other realms had crossed over. The ones that crossed were not just gods but also their descendants and ordinary transcendents. In outer space, the massive iron fortress became busy as they needed to transport the beings that appeared there to the ground.　　

Then, the Grand Alchemist Xu Fu started to notice the masses around him. He tried to contact the event organizers as he wanted to leave the battlefield, but no one responded to him. Some ignorant undyings clashed with him, and some even tried to join forces to kill him. Of course, it ended badly for them. Death was the only result for provoking the mighty beings.　　

Chen Yongjie said, "The gods and undyings are beginning to descend into the real world. I guess similar things might happen in the Land of Immortals. The world is going to be in chaos!"　　

"Something's wrong. Did the mighty beings come over? Are they targeting Old Xu?" Qing Mu suddenly spoke with a hint of surprise. He had just said that there were no top figures crossing over.　　

"Event organizers! Are you seeking death? Get me out of this battlefield!" The Grand Alchemist Xu Fu was frantic. He was just an incarnation, and his current opponent was the main body of a mighty being putting immense pressure on him as he fled. However, the space was now set up for one-way transmission, and the beings falling here were being sent to the ground. No one paid attention to him for the time being.　　

"He’s probably at the fourth level of the Wanderer Realm!" Wang Xuan's expression changed. This was quite tricky as the opponent has exceeded the current mighty beings' incarnations by two levels. He belonged to another new level.　　

There's a saying that the person holding the supreme treasure can retain their Earth Immortal Dao when their main body comes to the real world. It makes sense if that person's main body is currently on the fourth level without the supreme treasure.　　

"I hope Senior Xu Fu won't be killed," said Chen Yongjie as he was somewhat anxious. After all, not long ago, he had also received protection from the Grand Alchemist and had been given many benefits.　　

"Let's go to the iron fortress and ask them to bring Senior Xu Fu back!" Wang Xuan spoke up.　　

He and Liu Huai'an, along with Old Chen, set off and appeared in this vast iron structure. They demanded that the people on the battlefield be brought back.　　

"You've seen it. The transmission array is now set up for one-way transmission. We can't bring him back for a short time," the event organizers hesitated.　　

Without saying a word, Wang Xuan raised the Space-Time Mace and was about to smash the place. There was nothing he wouldn't dare to do. He had long realized that the event organizers were not fair.　　

The battlefield changed, and the Grand Alchemist Xu Fu fled toward the Great Barrier, shouting, "Demon Lord, Little Zhang, hurry up and help me!"　　

In the Great Barrier, the light and shadows churned, and the battles there were extremely intense. Someone had actually heard his shout amidst the chaos. A blazing beam of light shot out, piercing the powerful undying who was about to catch up to Xu Fu. With a puff, although the energy crossing over to the real world had greatly diminished, it was still considerable. It carried the power of genuine rules and had hit the pursuer before completely dissipating.

"He's dead! He’s blown to pieces!" Many people gasped in shock. A main body of a mighty being crossed over in advance, only to have a tragic end.　　

Xu Fu's danger was resolved. He fled away from the vicinity of the Great Barrier crack as he feared that people from the opposing camp might come after him too.　　

At that moment, the several mighty gods who had originally intended to cross over with their main bodies all stopped in their tracks and did not approach the crack. After all, there were great advantages for still being in the Great Barrier. They could attack or defend as will which gave them more options. Going out now and approaching the Great Veil might result in them being killed.

"Alright, the transmission array is restored. We can bring back those who are willing to leave the battlefield." A voice sounded from the iron fortress. 　　

With the crisis resolved and the transmission array fixed, Wang Xuan really wanted to tear the place down, but he restrained himself. After all, this was someone else's home ground.　　

Soon after, Xu Fu returned amidst the misty rain of light. He looked somewhat disheveled and had blood stains all over his body. He panted heavily as he said, "I had encountered a tough opponent. I almost died!"　

Without hesitation, Wang Xuan publicly handed the Space-Time Mace to him, saying, "I failed in my tribulation and can't fight anymore. I'm lending this to you. It's yours if I can't recover! Also, the Book of Ages is the reward you deserve. Go demand it from the organizers!"

　　

In outer space, everyone in their spaceship had a look of eagerness in their eyes. The semi-mature supreme treasure, the Space-Time Mace, was just given away just like that. Many were left awestruck. It had ignited their desires, as owning such a treasure was the pinnacle aspiration of a transcendent. Who wouldn't covet such a possession, even if it were only semi-mature? Its value was beyond measure, capable of skyrocketing one's own power.　

"It's evident that Wang Xuan's condition is dire. Otherwise, who would dare relinquish a supreme treasure like the Space-Time Mace? It's the result of a mythical civilization!" said someone.　　

Now, there were no more doubters. Any previous concerns or suspicions had been dispelled.　　

As many glanced toward Wang Xuan, expressions of pity and regret adorned their faces. Here was a genius that stood firm at the zenith of the forbidden realms of mythical theory, with a foundation of eleventh-stage. Yet, despite his achievement in killing four major gods and emerging as the top performer in this cross-domain war, his fate appeared to be dim.　　

Even Wu Yin, Zhao Qinghan, and the Little Fox felt deeply unsettled. They believed that he was truly in trouble.　　

"For him, perhaps it's not a bad thing. After all, the era of transcendence is coming to an end. He had once shone brightly, and that should be enough. In three months, everyone will start to decline. So, instead of that, it's considered a decent outcome for him to reach the peak and then depart directly after that," some speculated.　　

"You're giving the Space-Time Mace to me?" Xu Fu was moved, unable to calm his heart. While he didn't expect a mature supreme treasure, an almost mature Space-Time Mace still remained a coveted treasure for cultivators. Possessing it was a dream come true.　　

"I am!" exclaimed Wang Xuan as he nodded affirmatively.　　

Xu Fu felt dizzy for a moment. But soon, the Grand Alchemist realized that Wang Xuan might be using him as a sacrificial lamb. He speculated that this lad might not have been crippled after all.

Was this a rebirth from the ashes?　　

Now, everyone witnessed that Wang Xuan had relinquished the supreme treasure. There shouldn’t be anyone doubting him anymore. Meanwhile, Xu Fu had taken on this hot potato. The Grand Alchemist was lost in thought, it was the first time he was so conflicted. This burden was so tempting and not entirely bad for him. He was somewhat willing to accept it.

"Alright, I'll keep it for you," said Xu Fu as he nodded solemnly.　　

"No, I'm giving it to you!" said Wang Xuan. He handed it over to him, indicating his withdrawal from the Transcendent Realm. He would disappear from the world to focus on his health.　　

"I also wish to have a friend who has failed in their tribulation!" In the distance, many powerful transcendents were envious and jealous. Especially the gods who crossed over, their eyes had turned red!

Was it that easy to obtain the supreme treasures outside the Great Barrier to have given it away so easily?

Xu Fu's mood was complicated. He temporarily accepted this gift and thought of it as a great opportunity. However, he also felt uneasy. Turning around to vent his anger on the event organizers, he demanded, "Where is my Book of Ages? Hand it over immediately!"　　

"It's really gone. It had disappeared without a trace. I have no idea where it went," replied the event organizers. They were initially tough but they grew nervous and were afraid that Xu Fu would dismantle their operation with his supreme treasure.　　

It was almost insurmountable for a transcendent to possess such an item in the real world!　

"I don't believe you!" said Xu Fu. He refused to accept their explanation.　　

"It's true. We really can't contact it. That thing is sentient and can move on its own," replied the event organizers as they felt helpless.

Eventually, they were forced to reveal a secret, saying, "Let me tell you some confidential information. Even if supreme treasures like the Book of Ages, the bearer of the Old Covenant hatched, it cannot be refined into supreme treasures. The Space-Time Mace has flaws. It only reached this level after it was refined to the maximum."　　

Upon careful consideration, this explanation seemed plausible. If these treasures could really be refined into supreme treasures, who would be willing to give them away as prizes?　

The event organizer's representative further explained, "In the Great Barrier, it’s also the same for another semi-mature treasure, the Lamp of Flowing Light. It has reached its limit. It’ll remain the same no matter how much more refining is done."　

The event organizer went on to explain, "Moreover, those who possess supreme treasures likely have means to retrieve the Space-Time Mace and the Lamp of Flowing Light. Unless you can refine a treasure dedicated to your own life and cultivation within a month."　　

"Their hearts are truly dark. They never intended to give out these rewards in the first place, yet now they want to reclaim them?" Xu Fu and Wang Xuan both wore displeased expressions.　　

"We're compelled by circumstances. This is the command of the founders of the Imperial Palace of Gouchen and the Superlative Palace. We can’t defy them as they are peerless transcendents. But it seems the two founders might fail as the Land of Immortals will try to take advantage. Let's make a connection here. Don’t spread what I’ve told you," he pleaded with them.　　

This was a communication within the spiritual realm, it was something extremely confidential. He implored the two not to reveal it.　　

Xu Fu felt uneasy. The peerless transcendents had gone crazy. There was a high probability for a lot of immortals and gods to fall in the next three months. Even those transcendent figures wielding supreme treasures might fall. It was certain that terrifying events would unfold one after another.　　

While returning to the spaceship with Wang Xuan, Xu Fu asked, "What's your real situation?"　　

"I've told you already. I need to recuperate and withdraw from the scene. Besides, I'm really tired of all the fighting. I just want to be a quiet theoretical researcher," Wang Xuan replied.　　

"Nonsense, speak plainly!" Xu Fu didn't believe his explanation for a second.　　

"Someone's coming, a god, and it's an incarnation of a mighty being. Senior, he might be eyeing the supreme treasure in your possession. Be careful not to be ambushed by him," warned Wang Xuan.　　

Wang Xuan's senses were sharp. He had detected traces of a mighty being among the gods descending in outer space and he was getting closer. Upon hearing this, Xu Fu immediately understood that this fellow wasn't injured at all. Otherwise, how could his spiritual awareness be so extraordinary? It even surpassed even his own! Chen Yongjie kept silent. He was fully aware that those who practice deceit had a thick face and were willing to go to great lengths. He had pushed the Grand Alchemist Xu Fu to the forefront of the battlefield as he wanted peace for himself.　　

"You guys go back to the spaceship, I'll take a look outside!" Xu Fu said.　　

Wang Xuan, Chen Yongjie, and Liu Huai'an returned to the spaceship and were prepared to eat hotpot while watching the battle between gods. These were ingredients Wang Xuan had collected on the battlefield during his spare time. It was the flesh of the God of Light and Roc meat!　　

In outer space, Xu Fu's eyes gleamed as he scanned his surroundings, searching for any signs of the enemy.　　

In a distant starry region, an ethereal figure floated within an ancient spaceship. He was the Evil Dragon. He had also arrived, and was watching the battle within the Great Barrier.　　

"I should get myself a supreme treasure," he murmured softly.　　

"The mighty beings of the Land of the Undying and the Land of Divine speculate that the master of the Divine Palace, the owner of the Immortal Umbrella, who has lived through two mythological ages, will be extremely powerful and difficult to deal with. Therefore, they reached an agreement with some people from the Immortal Realm to change the battlefield."　　

"Fang Yuzhu, the Buddhist Sect and Daoist Sect believe that those old guys who have barely survived into this era were perhaps strong initially, But they lack the power to sustain themselves and may be easier to deal with now. It seems Fang Yuzhu and her group have won the bet."　　

"I should choose to target the mighty beings of the Land of the Undying and the Land of Divine. I will join forces with others to ambush and seize a supreme treasure when they obtain the Ascension Banner and the Roaming Ark!"　　

He remained calm. He was preparing to seize the opportunity and had already selected his target. In this era, one must possess a weapon of the Dao Shielding level.　　

Within the Great Barrier, the experts of Buddhist Sect and Daoist Sect were indeed incredibly powerful. With sufficient manpower, they forced the Divine Palace into a state of decline. Primarily because that old monster had no more power to sustain himself. He couldn't urge the supreme treasures into action anymore!　　

Puff!　　

The Demon Lord was injured. She was attacked by the old monster and the owner of the Immortal Umbrella following the agreement with Fang Yuzhu to assist the Buddhist Sect and Daoist Sect. Demon Lord Yan Yan coughed up blood and quickly retreated.　　

When Fang Yuzhu was refining treasures, the Buddhist and Daoist Sect both lent her a hand, helping her resist many enemies. Now, she had to return the favor by suppressing the Divine Palace with the Celestial Bracelet. The Old Daoist and the Great Buddha were rapidly refining the Divine Palace.　　

"How dare you injure her?!" Two shadowy figures erupted in anger and almost went berserk. They wielded the slightly dimmed Beared of Old Covenant of this era and struck at the owner of the Immortal Umbrella and the mighty beings around him.　　

"Yuzhu, help us take the umbrella!" Among the two shadowy figures, the woman shouted. She was determined to seize the Immortal Umbrella.
